Although he assisted the official army that took the lead in recovering Chang'an to repel the counterattack of the Tubo army and made great contributions, Bo Hu was still temporarily placed under house arrest by Jing Zhao in the duty room of Jingzhao Mansion afterwards, waiting for the final fate of the imperial court.

When Lai Xing'er came to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, the sky was completely dark. He showed his identity to the sergeant guarding the door and explained his intention, and the sergeant guarding the door of Jingzhao Mansion saw that Lai Xing'er was young, so he claimed to be the dignified marquis canonized by the imperial court, and he was both surprised and afraid, and hurriedly entered the palace to report to Jing Zhao.

Jing Zhao inquired about the age and appearance of the person from the sergeant, and it was expected that Lai Xing'er must have come to bid farewell to him, so he got up in person and greeted him outside the gate of the mansion.

"Brother Jing is diligent in his work all night, which really makes Xing'er feel ashamed." Although there were extremely important matters to explain to Jing Zhao in a hurry, in front of the guard sergeant, Lai Xing'er still made a look of coming to Jing Zhao to say goodbye and said to him.

After the two walked into the courtyard side by side, Lai Xing'er saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said to Jing Zhao: "I came to the government office to find you tonight, I have something urgent to discuss with you, and find a secluded place, so we can talk." ”

Jing Zhao saw that he was in a hurry, so he pointed forward with his hand and responded, "In that case, let's go to the back hall to talk." ”

The two walked through the courtyard and came directly to the back hall of Jingzhao Mansion to sit down with the guests. Lai Xing'er didn't say anything polite to Jing Zhao, and explained his intention to him when he opened his mouth: "At my request, the marshal has promised to be a guarantor for Bo Hu, and he is allowed to go to Liangzhou with me on an errand." So, when I leave for a while, please ask Brother Jing for permission to take Bo Hu with me. That's the first thing I say to you. ”

Since the emperor returned to Chang'an, Jing Zhao has been busy maintaining law and order in the capital, comforting the relatives of innocent residents killed during the occupation of Chang'an by Tubo, and has not yet taken into account the previous chapter to implore the emperor to reduce the punishment of Bohu.

"Xing'er, this wave of protection was lucky to save a life from his father's camp a few years ago, and now he is guaranteed by his father, I believe he should change his past and be a new person this time. Don't worry, I'll send someone to summon him and give him to you to take away. But I wonder what else you want me to do when you come tonight? ”

Lai Xing'er and Jing Zhao experienced the whole process of Chang'an from the fall to the recovery, and rushed to Shaanzhou together to persuade the emperor to return to Chang'an, the two did not know each other for a long time, but they cherished each other, and regarded each other as brothers.

Thinking that the matter he was about to talk about to Jing Zhao was very important, and it was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might bring death to himself, so even in front of Jing Zhao's father Jing Yuncong, Lai Xing'er did not leak a word. Originally, he planned to secretly investigate and find out the truth, but yesterday in the Yanying Palace, he received an envoy to Liangzhou to lurk, contain the Tubo army, and alleviate the threat faced by Chang'an.

"Brother Jing, do you remember the assassin in the Shaanzhou Military Palace?" Lai Xing'er stared at Jing Zhao intently and asked.

"Of course I do. Why, Xing'er, did you find her traces? As soon as Jing Zhao heard that Xing'er had mentioned the assassin who had attempted to assassinate him in the Shaanzhou Military Palace that night, he was immediately interested, and asked Lai Xing'er with burning eyes.

"Not yet." Lai Xing'er shook her head at first, then lowered her voice, and said to Jing Zhao in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "However, these days, I have been thinking about many strange things in recent months, and I suspect that I have fallen in love with someone. ”

"Who is she?"

"This person is none other than Bao Zhaoyi Ying'er, who was newly canonized after the Holy Lord returned to Chang'an." Lai Xing'er whispered the name Sakura, quietly observing Jing Zhao's reaction.

Jing Zhao deserves the title of "Detective", although he was shocked by Lai Xing'er's suspicion that Ying'er was the assassin who assassinated in the Shaanzhou military camp, but there was no trace of strangeness on his face, and he quickly asked: "How can you see it?" Xing'er, Bao Zhaoyi is a favored concubine, if you can't come up with real evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the saint to believe what you say. ”

"It is precisely because I am only suspicious of her at the moment, and there is a lack of strong evidence to prove that Sakura is the mysterious assassin who plotted against Niangniang outside the Chengtian Gate and attempted to assassinate you and me twice, that I want to entrust this matter to Brother Jing before leaving Beijing, and secretly investigate Sakura. I believe that no matter how cunning the fox is, there will be a day when his tail will be exposed, not to mention that Brother Jing is known as a 'detective', as long as Brother Jing is willing to accept this matter, it won't take much time to find out. ”

Jing Zhao suddenly laughed silently, pointed his finger at Lai Xing'er's nose and said, "Xing'er, you tell me the truth, did you suspect Ying'er that night in Shaanzhou, why did you tell me at that time?" ”

Xing'er hugged her fist at Jing Zhao apologetically, and explained, "It's not a secret, until yesterday when I received this mission to Liangzhou from the emperor, I was still thinking about removing the mask on this assassin's face with my own hands. However, when I went to Liangzhou, I don't know what year and month I could return to Chang'an, if I let this poisonous snake bite unscrupulously, I don't know how much chaos it will be, so I specially visited before leaving, and I want to entrust this important task to Brother Jing. However, now that Ying'er is a second-grade Zhaoyi, it is not only not easy to find evidence against her and bring her down in front of the emperor, but also to take a great risk, Brother Jing, you ......."

Jing Zhao heard that Xing'er's words still had a worry and doubt about himself, so he deliberately said to him in a relaxed tone: "For me, Xing'er doesn't have to worry at all, don't say that she is a new Zhaoyi, that is, the queen of the main palace has committed such a great crime, and I, Jing Zhao, also have the courage to pull her off the horse." However, what I want to know most now is, how did you get suspicious of Sakura's head? ”

When Lai Xing'er made up his mind and planned to entrust Jing Zhao with the secret investigation of Sakura'er, he expected that Jing Zhao would ask this question, and now he really asked the reason for doubting Sakura, smiled slightly, and said it from the beginning unhurriedly.

"Brother Jing, do you still remember the night of the fall of Chang'an, Niangniang's people plotted, and Zhang Liang took the opportunity to swing a knife under the horse, you and I snatched Niangniang's body, and after avoiding the Daming Palace, we had a conversation about the true identity of the assassin who hid in the shadows and assassinated Niangniang with a secret weapon?

At that time, because it coincided with Zhang Liang leading the Tibetan army to attack Chang'an, you and I both invariably believed that the conspirator must be the spies of the Tubo people buried in Chang'an City in advance. ”

"Yes, exactly. I still remember that night in the dark Daming Palace, before we could say a few words, the assassin followed up and struck again, intending to kill you and me, and it was that night that we found out that the assassin should probably be a woman. Isn't she a spies of the Tibetan people? Jing Zhao was reminded by Xing'er, trying to recall the situation at that time, and asked puzzledly. (To be continued.) )
