After coming out of the imperial study, Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

In all fairness, although His Majesty is dignified, he is not an unreasonable person, no matter from which point of view, this is a wise king.

But in the end, it is a monarch, even a virtuous monarch is still terrifying.

A companion is like a tiger! Qiao Ran nodded with emotion to the female official Xue in front of the imperial court, and was about to leave, but the female official Xue pointed to the side hall behind her, and said, "Lord Qiao, someone has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Before the words fell, the door of the hall on the side opened, and Zhang Xie walked out of the hall and saluted her: "There is a female official Lao Xue." ”

Lady Xue nodded at him and turned to leave.

Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then turned to Zhang Xie and said strangely: "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't worry, come and take a look." Zhang Xie looked at her and said, "It's okay!" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head: "Let's talk as we go!" ”

At noon, there was no one on the official road in the imperial city, so it didn't hurt to talk while walking all the way.

After telling Hu Yuanzi everything in his entirety, Qiao Ran said: "I was talking about the case, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would suddenly ask me about the court, which scared me." ”

Zhang Xie saw and heard the words, but glanced at her meaningfully, and said, "Have you forgotten the golden scale?" ”

Weigh the world! Your Majesty is no longer implicit, it can be said to be explicit.

In this regard, Qiao Ran just smiled bitterly: "It's too early to think about these things, what I'm worried about now is the case at hand, what I originally had to do was just to investigate the case, and I don't need to think about anything else, but the current thing is obviously more than just investigating the case." ”

Zhang Xie looked at the girl's slightly frowning eyebrows, and slowed down: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "Your Majesty asked me to find out the truth as soon as possible and try to avoid disputes between Da Chu and Tubo." ”

There is no doubt that the truth should be found out as soon as possible, but it may not be possible to avoid disputes between Great Chu and Tibet. Even if she felt that this was a case within a case, the Tibetan envoys obviously had Da Chu's involvement in the assassination of Da Chu. Even if His Majesty didn't know about this matter, there must be someone related to this matter among those who died in the Que Tower. Moreover, the people involved are all the sons and daughters of the powerful in Chang'an, and there are many important ministers in the court, so it may not be so easy to completely clear it up.

"I'm afraid that in the end, disputes will be unavoidable." Qiao Ran looked at Zhang Xie and sighed, "It's really a headache." ”

The girl's long sigh made Zhang Xie shake her head, and then said: "Actually, this matter is not so troublesome, you can investigate, Your Majesty only said as much as possible, and it is not you who make the decision in the end." He said, "Besides, you are not an important minister of the court, and there are some things that you can't interfere with even if you want to." As for the case, you investigate it first, and when the time comes, Da Chu will really be in it and you can't get out of it, but if this matter is not so big, aren't you worried in vain? ”

Her problem is that she is used to solving a whole thing by herself, and she doesn't have to do it alone.

The look on the girl's face turned stunned, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled: "It's true, so, it's me who is too worried." ”

Zhang explained: "It is always a good thing for people to be able to see far, and it is not a bad thing to worry too much. ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Hearing you say this, things don't seem to be so troublesome." ”

While speaking, the two of them had already left the palace gate.

Standing outside the imperial city, looking at the crowded Chang'an Avenue again, the smoke and fire were blowing in his face, Qiao Ran's heart suddenly relaxed, and the smile on his face stretched: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go with me to see Xiaohua now!" ”

Zhang explained: "I was going to go with you, but is the little flower you are talking about a person or the cat that Lord Zhen got it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Ran smiled: "Of course it's human...... Eh, where did you say Xu Heming's little white got it? The mention of Xiaohua reminded her of Xiaobai at home.

That little white has never been afraid of life since he came to the house, and jumped on the bed before dawn every morning, waking her and Pei Qingqing up, and then meowing at her with innocent eyes, which is really helpless.

Zhang Xie shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, but you can find someone to ask where this kind of cat comes from, you can leave the errand to Pei Qingqing to do, she jumps up and down every day with full spirit, and it just so happens that she can find something to do." Of course, the benefits are also to be given. ”

Pei Qingqing's preferences are clear at a glance.

Qiao Ran smiled, paused, and said: "There is also the matter of Nanji Shop, although Yu Shihuan's line was the first to surface, in fact, this line has not been clarified. Compared with Hu Yuanzi's purpose that can be seen through at a glance, Yu Shihuan's matter seems to be clear, but in fact, there are many suspicious things. ”

The more this case is detected, the more questions there become.

"Assuming that what Xue Huai said is true, Zhu Zhicheng's brother is related to the assassination of the Tubo envoys, I thought about it, his death should belong to Daoshan Prison, that is, he died under the knife, but why did he also die of bronze pillar punishment or skinning punishment? And these two punishments, no matter how far-fetched they are, are still inexplicable, and it is clear why they blame him on this way of death? The girl talked eloquently, her soft eyebrows and eyes were a little sharp in the sun, "I can't figure it out, not to mention that the reason why many people are involved is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence." There are too many mysteries in this case that have not been solved. ”

Zhang Xie was silent for a moment and said: "The foreigners who died in Chang'an, if they were not claimed by their relatives, most of them were buried in the 10,000 people outside the city. The family that died in the fire in Baqiao Lane should have been buried there if there was no accident. ”

Since Yu Shihuan's line has not been sorted out clearly, it is better to start from the beginning.

Qiao Ran suddenly said, "It seems that I still have to call Feng Qizuo to go." ”

The deceased couple is no longer alive, so if you want to open the coffin for an autopsy, you just need to go to the yamen to hand over a note, and you don't need to ask for the consent of your relatives.

The imperial city is not far from the Yamen of Dali Temple, it takes less than half an hour to walk, and it is still a road all the way, there are countless restaurants and shops on both sides, Qiao Ran saw the dim sum shop on the street, and thought of the newly opened dim sum shop that Pei Qingqing was talking about, so he simply went into the dim sum shop and bought two boxes of dim sum, and was ready to take the dim sum back when he was on duty.

Let Pei Qingqing do things, you always have to pay something, don't you?

The two of them came out of the dim sum shop when they met a group of people running by quickly.

"Aloft is on a new book!" Qiao Ran was startled, and the two boxes of dim sum in her hand were almost not stable because of the strong wind brought by the crowd.

Zhang Xie pulled her aside and frowned slightly as he looked at the crowd whizzing by.

"What's going on?" Qiao Ranqi said, "What are these people going to do?" ”

Zhang Jie's face was a little delicate, and he only looked at her deeply when he heard her ask, "Today is the day when the new book is released at Aloft," he said, his gaze fell on the crowd not far ahead, and soon there was a long queue of people, "The second book of Miss Xu Shi's book is about to be released." ”

Qiao Ran: "......"

It turned out that everyone ran so fast to see her and ...... Qiao Ran glanced at Zhang Jie.

The people of Chang'an City are really idle!

At this moment, several literati cheered happily and ran out of Aloft.

"I got it, I got it!"

As soon as these words came out, even a lot of people hugged them: "Oh? I looked, what did I grab? What happened to the female official and the Heavenly Master? ”

The person in the script is still here, and it's really embarrassing to be talked about in public.

Qiao Ran coughed and urged Zhang Jie: "Let's go quickly, it's not good to always fish outside!" ”

Zhang Xie glanced at her and said, "That's right, let's go quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a noisy voice sounded in the crowd not far away: "This Heavenly Master is really too incomprehensible, why haven't you confessed yet?" ”

Zhang Jie, who had taken two steps, looked at Qiao Ran and said, "I have already confessed." ”

Qiao Ran: "......"

……

I returned to Dali Temple all the way awkwardly, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw two young officials reprimanding a few officials with a straight face.

"Isn't it the arraignment of prisoners? And you have nothing to do, so can I not send you once? ”

The officials said: "My lord, the little one has already married a wife, if you know that the little one is involved with other women outside, the lady will kill the little one, this is a big matter of human life!" ”

Qiao Ran coughed on the side and said, "Okay, don't act in front of me." That little flower is going to stay here for a few days, and it's useless for you to say anything. ”

With that, he walked in with his hands in his hands.

Dali Temple has not been in danger for a long time because of one person.

Qiao Ran walked into the lobby "unkindly" and glanced at the officials of Dali Temple who remained in the hall.

Xu Hexiu and a few familiar ones are not there, so there is no need to say hello. She didn't stay, and took Zhang Xie directly to the prison, but before she got to the prison, she saw Xu Hexiu running out of the prison in a hurry.

"You're just in time!" He hurriedly ran over and said, "Something happened to that little flower, you two go and take a look!" ”

……

Dali Temple's always clean and tidy prison was full of bloody footprints, and the strong smell of blood on his face made Qiao Ran's chest blocked, and his stomach turned upside down.

"What's going on?" Qiao Ran resisted the urge to retch and asked.

Xu Hexiu raised his chin, pointed at the people in the prison, and said, "See for yourself!" ”

The cell door was wide open, Xiaohua sat on the stone bed in a regular manner, and when she saw her, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Master Qiao, vomit ......"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, and the corners of her mouth and chin were bleeding, but she didn't realize it, and raised her hand to greet her.

The two doctors on the side were frightened and exclaimed: "I'm vomiting blood again, what should I do, what should I do?" ”

Xiaohua skillfully wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and chin with a handkerchief, and said while wiping: "I don't know, it doesn't hurt or itch, so I suddenly vomited and vomit......ed."

Several officials and officials looked solemn on the side, and a few prisoners in the opposite prison who heard the movement and lay on the cell door to watch the excitement were even more frightened: "Monster! Monster! ”

Vomiting so much blood, normal people would have died a long time ago! It's a youkai!

Xiaohua didn't seem to be aware of it, and the two doctors were also pale and trembling: "I haven't seen such a person for many years of practicing medicine, it may be an incurable disease that has not yet been discovered, so it is better to prepare early...... "If you vomit again, you can prepare for the future."

"What's going on?" Qiao Ran interrupted the words of the two doctors, turned her head and asked Xu Hexiu on the side, "Why did she suddenly vomit blood?" ”

Before Xu Hexiu could speak, Xiaohua, who vomited blood, hurriedly explained: "I'm fine, I just vomit when I suddenly want to." ”

Spit when you want to, what do you think it is? Blood!

"That's not the case at all." An official on the side finally couldn't help it, and said, "At noon, Lord Xie came to the yamen to deal with the old case and came to the prison, but this woman saw Lord Xie's eyes light up and teased a few words, but Lord Xie ignored her and left. After Master Xie left, she suddenly vomited blood......"

Before the words fell, the eyes of a doctor with a panicked face on the side lit up: "Xing...... Maybe it's lovesickness! Earlier, I heard that some people vomited blood because of lovesickness. ”

Xu Hexiu was immediately angry when he heard this: "Have you ever seen vomiting like this? ”

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the depth of lovesickness." "This woman is full of peach blossoms, and she looks like a young girl!

Xiaohua spat blood again, scratched the back of her head inexplicably, and said, "Really? I just look good at him. "There are so many talents in this Dali Temple, she hasn't seen enough, how can she become a lovesick person for a person?

What a quack! I don't know who found it. Xu Hexiu scolded secretly, and said to Zhang Xie on the side: "Xie Zhi, can you take a look?" ”

Zhang Xie stared at Xiaohua for a while and did not speak.

Xiaohua's face turned red and she was about to speak, but she "vomited" and vomited blood again.

Seeing this, the doctor who said "lovesickness" hurriedly said: "It's really like lovesickness." "Don't forget to go to see Zhang Xie on the side, this is also good, the officials and officials of Dali Temple are really good, no wonder the lovesickness has been aggravated by being locked up here.

Zhang Xie ignored the doctor, but suddenly turned his head to the official on the side and said, "You go and get a bowl of warm rice wine." ”

Although the official messenger didn't know why, he still wanted to go down to get it, but he heard Zhang Xie say again: "Oh, by the way, don't forget to put ginger in the wine!" ”

The official was stunned, and although he didn't understand his intentions, he still turned around and left.

After the official left, Xu Hexiu asked Zhang Jie: "Xie Zhi, what are you going to do?" Wine and ginger again, cooking? ”

It's not that he hasn't seen the means of the Yin and Yang Division, he has seen the rune paper or something, but he has never seen wine and ginger.

Zhang Xie only shook his head and didn't answer him, but turned his head to look at the crowd around him, and after scanning it, he asked with a solemn expression: "What about Chengze?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several officials and officials were stunned.

"Isn't Master Xie in the lobby?"

Qiao Ran said: "We just came from the lobby, and we haven't seen Master Xie yet. ”

"Huh? It's weird, is that going out? Someone wondered.

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Xu Hexiu's heart, and when he saw that everyone was still looking at each other, he pulled Zhang Xie aside and whispered, "Xie Zhi, what do you mean?" I won't doubt Chengze! ”

Zhang Xie only glanced at him and said, "I want to see his people." ”
