It took all her strength to get to the high drum, her toes on her tiptoes, despite the fact that her clothes were soaking wet, and there were already people around her who were pointing fingers at her "indiscretions".

The door of Dali Temple in front of her was finally opened again at her wish.

She looked hopefully toward the doorway. A pair of women's slender feet stepped out of the door.

The woman looked at the girl who came out, and saw that it was not the person she wanted to see after all, and her expression showed disappointment.

Jing Wan'er didn't miss the look on the woman's face, she was dressed in frugal clothes, but her face was delicate and moving, about twenty years old, but unfortunately her face was full of sadness.

"I'm Master Pei's maid." After seeing the woman, Jing Wan'er considered her words and said this.

The woman's eyes moved, and she looked at Jing Wan'er again, and her eyes suddenly showed hope.

Jing Wan'er then smiled and said the second sentence: "Master Pei asked me to lead you to meet him." ”

The woman frowned and said in disbelief: "Really, really? ”

Jing Wan'er's face had a reassuring look, "My lord heard the drumming, and he has finished changing his clothes, and he is waiting for you in the public court at this moment." ”

The woman was stunned, and suddenly a line of tears fell.

Jing Wan'er slowly stepped forward and took the woman's hand.

In this way, Jing Wan'er led her all the way to the court where Pei Tan was.

As soon as she got there, the woman naturally saw the young man sitting there high, and as rumored, he really looked like a handsome son of a family.

The woman couldn't help kneeling down: "The people's girl knocks on Lord Dali Temple!" ”

The woman's figure is graceful, and there is a merry attitude in her actions.

Pei Tan seems to be sitting in the court for the second time, and the last time it was the daughter of a fisherman who died under the hooves of Zonghuo's horse. She is also a weak woman.

"Who is in the hall? Register your name. ”

Although the woman knelt, her body was straight, "Lin Jingjing, a folk girl, a person from Chang'an." ”

"Why are you beating the drum?" Pei Tan stared at the woman's pale face.

Lin Jingjing knocked her head on the ground again, as if her mood was difficult to calm down and she didn't speak for a while, so she got up after a long time and took out a folded notice from her sleeve.

This is about the most bizarre missing person notice in the history of Chang'an City, which says that the person is missing, but there is no portrait, only a few lines of description, and the appearance and characteristics of the missing person are specious.

It is a missing person notice posted on the streets and alleys.

Lin Jingjing seemed to be much calmer, and she slowly spoke: "Minnu, I want to see the person in this notice." ”

Jing Wan'er stood on the side of the lobby and slowly looked at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan asked slowly: "Do you know who is in the notice?" ”

Lin Jingjing's face suddenly showed a hint of ridicule, she held the notice, and said slowly: "The folk girl knows." ”

Pei Tan's eyes were dark: "Who is it?" ”

Lin Jingjing looked at Pei Tan, but did not answer, but after a while, her lips hooked a cold arc and said: "Before this, the folk girl wants to ask the adult first, can the adult tell the folk girl first, is the person in this painting dead or alive now?" ”

Jing Wan'er was surprised, and the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly turned silent.

Pei Tan stared at the woman and didn't say anything, you know, on the notice of Dali Temple, it only said that he was looking for people, but he never said life and death.

The woman came up and asked, especially with a look of determination on her face.

"What is your relationship with the person in the notice?" Pei Tan looked deep and asked again.

But seeing that the sneer on the woman's face was even more obvious, Jing Wan'er saw the woman's slender wrist exposed, with an embroidered peony flower, and she understood something in an instant.

Ordinary girls from good families, parents who have both hair and skin on their bodies, will never carve things on their skin......

Lin Jingjing's expression on her face became cold: "The adults don't let the people see the people in this notice, it seems to be true, and the people in the notice have suffered an accident." ”

Pei Tan couldn't help frowning.

The woman's words clearly knew something, but she refused to say it.

Jing Wan'er opened her mouth at this time: "Miss Lin, since you come to recognize people, at least you have to tell the identity of the person you recognize?" ”

Lin Jingjing's bones were pale, and her hands were clasped together: "The person in the painting is named Fan Wenjun, and he is a man who came to Chang'an to take the exam, if ...... If the Lord is merciful, can you give his body to the people's daughter, who wants to bury him well. ”

These words made it even more difficult to answer, Lin Jingjing started from going to court, her expression was obviously hidden, but she didn't plan to say it.

Pei Tan looked at her deeply, "I haven't seen the corpse yet, how can you be sure that it is Fan Wenjun?" ”

Lin Jingjing smiled sadly: "It is written in the notice of the adults that the person you are looking for has a calloon on her right hand, and it must be Fan Gongzi." ”

Who would pay attention to such details, Jing Wan'er couldn't help but feel that Lin Jingjing must be someone close to the deceased. Otherwise, you would never know so much.

Pei Tan could only say: "Then who are you Fan Wenjun?" "From the woman's conversation, she is not a relative.

saw Lin Jingjing biting her lower lip, and said bluntly after a while: "Friend." ”

Jing Wan'er probably understood Pei Tan's intention to ask, and sure enough, Pei Tan said: "Even if the notice is ...... It is the person you are talking about, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, and only relatives are eligible to bring back the body for burial. ”

Lin Jingjing's face turned pale, and she said for a moment: "Fan Wenjun is not from Chang'an, how can his relatives come to decorate the funeral for him?" ”

Pei Tanliang said for a long time: "Then there is no way." ”

Lin Jingjing's hands clasped together, "Please be accommodating." ”

Pei Tan looked at the thin figure: "The law is like this, and this official can't change it." ”

Lin Jingjing suddenly raised her head and looked at Pei Tan, I don't know what kind of thoughts flashed in her heart, "It is rumored that Master Pei of the temple has the demeanor of the former Duke of Di, so even a little fisherman and daughter can redress her grievances." Now it seems that the adults let Fan Wenjun and other strangers die, can't they be buried in peace? ”

At this time, the official shouted: "Bold! Threaten adults! ”

Lin Jingjing had no fear on her face.

Jing Wan'er could barely feel it, listening to this woman's conversation, it was by no means an ordinary market, and she did seem to be thinking about the deceased.

Jing Wan'er suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Lin, you don't care how the deceased died, you just want to bring back the body for burial, I don't understand what you think." ”

did not hesitate to beat the drum of grievances and came to the lobby to see the official, obviously he had a lot of friendship with this "Fan Wenjun", in this case, after hearing the news of the death, why did Lin Jingjing just turn pale, but did not show more agitation?

The more I looked, the more I felt that this woman had a secret.

Lin Jingjing was obviously silent about Jing Wan'er's questioning, and Jing Wan'er said at this time: "Since you are from Chang'an, how did you know how you met Fan Wenjun...... Fan Wenjun's body was found outside the city? ”

Lin Jingjing was shocked all over, and looked at Jing Wan'er: "His corpse ...... Outside the city? ”

Looking at Lin Jingjing's expression, Jing Wan'er's eyes were gloomy: "There are countless knife wounds on the corpse, and the autopsy was injured by the robbers and died of a knife." ”

This is the result of the previous autopsy, but it has been overturned, and Pei Tan couldn't help but move.

I saw that Lin Jingjing, who had always been calm, looked excited, "Messy, messy? ”

She sat down on the ground in a daze, seeming to be in a daze.

No one can accept that someone they care about is dying in such a tragic way.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but be cautious.

Seeing Lin Jingjing slowly straighten up, her voice trembling slightly: "Fan Wenjun definitely did not die from bandits, please be aware of it." ”

Pei Tan looked at her: "Why do you say that?" ”

Lin Jingjing smiled a little sadly: "Fan Wenjun is a down-and-out man, penniless, what bandit would rob such a person?" ”

Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er looked at each other, and finally Lin Jingjing was willing to confide in her true feelings.

"He stayed in the most dilapidated Wenxi Inn in Chang'an before his death, and he was even more watched by the boss's forces, and he wanted to bombard him several times and sell the room to others, the only thing he had was that open-minded ...... who did not fit into the ordinary."

Pei Tan was silent for a long time before waiting for the woman opposite to wipe away her tears.

"Fan Wenjun has an enemy?" He asked.

Lin Jingjing shook her head and said quietly: "His temperament, how can he make enemies with others." ”

Not for money, not for hatred.

Lin Jingjing paused for a long time, and suddenly said faintly: "The folk girl and Fan Wenjun have already made an appointment to meet on the ninth day of the third lunar month, but he didn't come. ”

Since then, she has not seen him in Chang'an.

Pei Tan's eyes were dark, "How did you meet, and why did you meet him?" ”

Lin Jingjing lowered her head, and suddenly smiled lightly: "The adults ask this, and the folk girl has nothing to say." The folk girl was hired by Wenxi Inn to sing and have fun with her children, and Fan Gongzi met from this. ”

Lin Jingjing came to play the drums, and naturally her identity became a mystery to be wanted to know in the court, and now she finally said it.

Jing Wan'er knew so far in her heart that she guessed correctly, the one who would embroider on her wrist could only be a dusty woman from Chang'an. And she didn't say it before, obviously because she was afraid that her identity would be looked down upon.

"Fan Gongzi," Lin Jingjing said, "is also the only person in the inn who will treat the folk girl politely, and it is very common for the folk girl to be despised and trampled on, and the folk girl is used to it." ”

At this time, there is a person who is different, and is even willing to stand up for a play, which is enough for this woman to remember.

Jing Wan'er instantly understood that Lin Jingjing, she was Fan Wenjun's lover......

In fact, the story of talented and beautiful women is staged in Chang'an City every time the scientific expedition is carried out, but the pair of Lin Jingjing and Fan Wenjun is the most tragic among them.

Just looked at Lin Jingjing, suddenly kowtowed deeply to the ground, and when she got up, she said: "Since the folk girl can't get back Fan Gongzi's corpse, and the folk girl doesn't want to entangle anymore, my lord, please allow the folk girl to say goodbye." ”

I saw that the woman got up slowly, hid the sad look on her face, and turned around and was about to leave.

Jing Wan'er obviously had choked words in her throat, but she couldn't say it at this time, just seeing that Lin Jingjing had already stepped out of the door of the lobby, Pei Tan at the top was obviously in the same mood.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than bullying the lonely and helpless people in this world, even if they are injured and die, if no one comes up to avenge them, no one will care.

And this miserable death of Fan Wenjun has been dead for many days, and the notice has been posted for three days, but only one woman who cares about him comes to cry for him.
