Wan'er! Pei Tan let out a sigh, got up from the table, and stared at the girl with complicated eyes.

Jing Wan'er was about to leave without saying a word, and Pei Tan's expression sank: "Stop, Wan'er." “

But Jing Wan'er didn't even care about Pei Tan, and walked forward.

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed, but it was very gentle, and Pei Tan's voice rang in her ears again: "Wan'er." “

Jing Wan'er refused to look back, she turned her back to Pei Tan silently, and emotions were surging in her lowered eyes.

Pei Tan didn't dare to let her go rashly, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort her for a while.

Shen Xingwen said that it was best not to let Jing Wan'er and Hu Chao meet, the words were still in his ears, and now that he understands, Jing Wan'er will want to kill Hu Chao.

Forcing the Sanpin master to try the so-called elixir is simply frustrating.

No wonder if Hu Chao didn't move, no one would have thought that this would be the case.

Pei Tan looked at the girl in front of him: "Hu Chao's words can't be believed. And at this moment, he summoned this matter, and Ann didn't know what his intentions were.

Jing Wan'er slowly turned around and looked at Pei Tan: "I'm sorry, don't stop me." “

Pei Tan saw the resistance in her eyes, and naturally could understand the bitterness in her heart at the moment, even if she couldn't experience ten, she could also sense six or seven.

"I'll go with you."

Surprise flashed in Jing Wan'er's eyes, "My lord? “

Pei Tan let go of Jing Wan'er's hand, turned around, and looked at Shen Xingwen, "Since Hu Chao has been recruited, I should also meet him." ”

Pei Tan, as a Dali Siqing, has not seen a criminal so far.

Shen Xingwen glanced at Jing Wan'er meaningfully, and said, "Since the adults want to see it, Shen naturally has no objections. ”

Jing Wan'er was stunned for a long time, and her eyes were a little moist.

Pei Tan set foot in prison for the first time, and since he took office, several cases he has handled are strange and paradoxical, either the dead man "lived", or he committed suicide on the spot, and none of them could justifiably be imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple.

In this prison now, Hu Chao enjoys special treatment.

Seeing Hu Chao hanging in the middle of the prison at a glance, Jing Wan'er was shocked in her eyes, Shen Xingwen was used to it, he stood in front of Hu Chao, who was already half-dead, and said, "Hu Chao, look who is coming." ”

Hu Chao's eyelids twitched slightly, and then slowly opened.

At that moment, Jing Wan'er's chest rose and fell, and she used her teeth to restrain her emotions until a hand pressed on her shoulder, gently blocking her behind her.

Hu Chao's eyes were cloudy, and when he turned slowly, he saw a strange blue and green figure, with slender finger bones hidden in his sleeves, and there was a smell of rust in the air in this dungeon, but this man smelled a faint fragrance.

Hu Chao narrowed his eyes, although he had never seen Pei Tan, he could see it

Now this young man, combined with folk rumors, he knows who it is.

Shen Xingwen's hands were loosely tucked into his sleeves, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"Dali Siqing wants to see you in person, how much value is left in your life, I will know soon."

Hu Chao was obviously used to facing Shen Xingwen, he chuckled lowly, "What you want me to recruit, I have recruited it, don't say that it is from Dali Temple, even if the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Third Division will be interrogated, it is impossible for me to say it." ”

Shen Xingwen frowned, and said, "Yes, but I think you still have secrets that you haven't spit out." ”

Shen Xingwen's eyes were indifferent.

Jing Wan'er stood behind Pei Tan and looked at Hu Chao, just looking at Hu Chao's appearance, he didn't seem to be injured, but his face was dead.

"Besides, what if I tell you." Hu Chao suddenly

Ji laughed, "I have already told you that the prince's love letter is hidden in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, do you dare to take it?" ”

Pei Tan's eyes moved, and when he looked at Shen Xingwen, Shen Xingwen stepped forward and pinched Hu Chao's mandible, "That's right, but you haven't recruited it yet, something is hidden somewhere in Shangshu Mansion." ”

Shangshu Mansion covers an area of 100 acres, and finding a palm-sized handwritten letter in such a large place is to find a needle in a haystack.

So this is Hu Chao's cunning, he smiled, stared at Shen Xingwen and said, "It's been too long, I forgot." ”

Shen Xingwen's hand slowly clenched hard, and asked Hu Chao: "It seems that you are really not afraid of death?" ”

Hu Chao suddenly turned his head to look at Pei Tan, his eyes were extremely bright, "Your Dali Temple abuses lynching and tortures into tricks, I want to sue you in front of the palace!" ”

Shen Xingwen's face was filled with anger.

How many times have Hu Chao fought with him in the past three days, but this time Pei Tan is here, which is obviously different.

Sure enough, Pei Tan's voice sounded: "Let him go." ”

Shen Xingwen stiffly let go of his hand, and Hu Chao smiled.

Pei Tan's eyes fell on Hu Chao's thin face, he was already sure that Hu Chao had bad intentions in his heart for these things, or he thought that it didn't matter if he recruited them.

Hu Chao said slowly: "It seems that Lord Dali Siqing is still a sensible person. ”

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Shen Xingwen again, and he smiled evilly: "I almost thought that Dali Temple was just letting a six-grade small temple be in charge." ”

It can be seen that in just a few days, Hu Chao has hated Shen Xingwen.

Shen Xingwen stared at him without saying a word or defending, because if he lost his cool in a few words, he would not be here to interrogate Hu Chao in the dark for three days.

Pei Tan looked at Hu Chao: "Is there really such a thing as the prince's handwriting?" ”

Hu Chao glanced at Pei Tan and seemed to say disdainfully: "Yes." Otherwise, what do you think I have relied on to save my life for so many years? ”

can make Zong Chuke also afraid of three points, it can be seen that in that handbook, there must have been something written about Zong Chuke...

From this point of view, Hu Chao's confession to the prince's love letter is likely to be true.

Hu Chao sneered: "What's the matter, now that I've recruited, do you dare to hand me over to the Criminal Department, or kill me?"

Obviously, Hu Chao is very cunning, he knows that according to the regulations, the sentence must be sent to the Criminal Department for approval, which is the process of convicting the criminal.

Pei Tan looked at Hu Chao, this person was a person in front of the emperor, and he was not an ordinary person to deal with for a long time. He said: "Your Majesty has issued an order in this case, and it will be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation and handling, and there is no need to send it to the Criminal Department to deal with you." “

This saved a step, Hu Chao puffed out his eyes, and seemed to be breathing rapidly.

In the investigation of the old case, Zhongzong must not be able to trust the criminal department, and directly put an end to the possibility of the criminal department's interference from the root.

Pei Tan looked at Hu Chao and said for a while: "Zong Chuke must not have imagined that what he was looking for was hidden under his nose. “

I want to know that this handwritten letter can make many people in Chang'an unable to sleep, which is also the reason why the prince's case still affects the nerves of many people in Chang'an after 20 years.

Hu Chao obviously felt very proud, imprisoned him in this dungeon, and forced him to tell the secret that had been hidden for many years, but what could these people do to him if they knew?

Hu Chao simply laughed hideously.

Shen Xingwen stood aside coldly, "Hu Chao, as long as you haven't walked out of the prison door of Dali Temple, everything you have will be slaughtered by me." ”

What is the pride of the meat on a cutting board, the days spent in the past three days are enough for Hu Chao to remember for a lifetime.

Hu Chao stared at Pei Tan and smiled. From Pei Tan, he seemed to ignore Shen Xingwen.

It's like knowing that the young man in front of him is the soul of Dali Temple.

Pei Tan's voice was soft, and he seemed to say casually: "If the whereabouts of the handwritten book are revealed to the Shangshu Mansion, do you think that Zong Shangshu will dig his Shangshu Mansion three feet into the ground overnight, and also find out this handwritten letter?" ”

Hu Chao smiled and stopped. His shoulders trembled, and he looked at Pei Tan in disbelief.

Shen Xingwen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at his Lord Siqing with a meaningful smile.

Pei Tan looked at Hu Chao, "What do you say?" ”

Hu Chao suddenly said fiercely: "You dare? "It seems to be a question.

Pei Tan said lightly: "Why don't you dare? ”

Hu Chao's eyes were scarlet, as if he was trying to find some flaws in Pei Tan's face. But he actually found that this man was even more elusive than Shen Xingwen, who tortured him for three days.

Pei Tan spoke: "Presumably, Zong Shangshu will want to find such a thing as the prince more than anyone in Chang'an, even if you don't say it at that time, but Shangshu Mansion is Zong Shangshu's nest after all, find one in the nest you are most familiar with."

No matter how well it is hidden, he is hopeful of finding it. ”

Hu Chao's face was shaken fiercely, even more tormenting than when he had been tortured in the past three days. He looked at Pei Tan, and for the first time, there was a fault in his voice: "How dare you let Shangshufu find such a thing, no... Don't you dare..."

Pei Tan said: "Since Dali Temple has no chance to find the prince's suicide note from Shangshu Mansion, rather than letting the suicide note be buried forever, then it is up to Shangshu Mansion to find things in person, at least Dali Temple may still have a chance." ”

Obviously, this is a decision worth gambling on, after all, this suicide note is so important, even if you grab it, you must have a chance to grab it first.

Hu Chao's breathing was heavy, needless to say, once the suicide note appeared, and it still fell into the hands of Zong Chuke...

He's done... He's the only one who's definitely going to be finished...

Pei Tan looked at him, Dali Temple may still have a chance to gamble, but Hu Chao is gone.

Hu Chao blurted out: "No... You can't do that..."

Pei Tan remained motionless: "What is the reason? Give me a reason. ”

Hu Chao's breath was short, obviously he was struggling, and he was already showing his decline. Hu Chao raised his scarlet eyes: "In exchange for the whereabouts of the prince's suicide note, you let me really leave Chang'an." ”

The letters were his life, and once they were handed over, he had to find another way to make a living.

Pei Tan was speechless for a while.

Hu Chao sneered again: "How? That's not too much, isn't it? ”

He didn't ask for gold and silver, and he was pardoned in court, so he only asked to leave Chang'an. This cage that has trapped him for many years.

Shen Xingwen looked at Pei Tan, Pei Tan is in charge here, he won't say much. But... If this condition had been proposed to him by Hu Chao three days ago, Shen Xingwen's lips would have been hooked.

With a small Boda, four taels for a thousand gold, let him achieve the goal of solving the case, he can naturally let Hu Chao go.

was waiting for Pei Tan to speak, I don't know why, being protected by Pei Tan like this, the surging emotions in Jing Wan'er's chest gradually calmed down, and even the mood of wanting to find Hu Chao desperately faded.

She looked at Pei Tan blankly. It seems to understand how Pei Tan will answer.

Pei Tan shook his head and said to Hu Chao: "Dali Temple, I will not make a deal with the criminal for any reason. ”
