There was a sudden knock on the door of the autopsy room, and the outsider said nervously: "My lord, my subordinates heard the voices of outsiders, and I dare to ask my lord if I need help from my subordinates?" ”

Pei Tan was still staring at the girl in front of him, and only then did he say a word: "You don't have to come in." ”

The knocking on the door stopped, and it was clear that the officials did not dare to break in. This is the problem, when I go out, how can I explain to everyone who sees that there is a big living person in the coffin?

Jing Wan'er bowed her head, and she didn't know if she was empty-hearted, "My lord, Wan'er has nowhere to go in Chang'an, so she can only go to you." ”

There is no place for her in the palace, and Jing Wan'er knows better than anyone how the palace treats fugitive slaves.

Originally, she wanted to sneak into Chang'an, and then into Dali Temple, which was even more difficult, and it should be said that even Shangcang was helping her.

Pei Tan listened to Jing Wan'er say that she could only go to him, but she was not happy, and her eyes were bottomless: "What does Chang'an want you to come back?" ”

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but look at Pei Tan slowly, just when the atmosphere was solemn and she thought she was going to say when, the girl's eyes suddenly fluctuated, and she lowered her head lightly: "

Wan'er has never lived alone outside, and the adults are willing to let me go, Wan'er is grateful, these half a year,...... In fact, Wan'er often thinks of adults. ”

Pei Tan: "......"

The cold guards next to him glanced at the faces of their own adults, and they all said that since ancient times, women are the most cunning, and the younger and more beautiful women are, and this is indeed even more so.

Jing Wan'er was not worried, she looked at Pei Tan with a smile in her eyes: "Although Wan'er is a woman, I hope to always accompany the adults and do her best to share the burden for the adults." ”

If it is said that since ancient times, which dynasty dared to underestimate women, Datang would never dare.

They have just been freed from the hands of an extremely powerful woman, and no Tang Dynasty person dares to look down on a woman's mind and ability.

It's a strange thing to hear.

Seeing that Jing Wan'er had already gathered her coat and bowed to Pei Tan.

But her knees were held an inch from the ground, and she looked up and met Pei Tan's eyes, and Pei Tan said, "Get up." ”

Jing Wan'er couldn't kneel, so she could only get up first.

She still looked at Pei Tan, saw him and said, "After a while, if someone asks about you, you will say that you are the person brought by Qianniuwei on order." ”

Jing Wan'er was surprised for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Wan'er understands." ”

The coffin was carried into Dali Temple by Qianniuwei, from beginning to end Pei Tan was just a bystander, and if someone wanted to question it, they would only think that Jing Wan'er was brought by Qianniuwei together. As for verification, Qianniuwei is in the palace and is His Majesty's guard, who dares to ask?

In terms of playing smart, Jing Wan'er is very good at it, but for this aspect of officialdom, she still has to rely on Master Pei.

"Wait a minute, sir."

I saw that Jing Wan'er suddenly jumped back to the coffin, reached out and touched it under the corpse's head, and suddenly pulled out a burden.

The burden was tattered, Jing Wan'er patted it with her hand, and carried it on her shoulder.

She smiled at Pei Tan embarrassedly: "There are only a few old clothes in it." ”

Not only did she lie in the coffin, but she also didn't forget to bring her belongings.

……

Pei Tan opened the door of the autopsy room with a calm face, and the officials and servants guarding outside had been waiting for a long time, and just when they were about to rush in with a white face, they suddenly saw a girl with her head down and a miserable face coming out of it.

Everyone clutched their hearts and rubbed their eyes again.

Just now...... In this coroner's room, there is only Lord Siqing and his guards, right? How is this one more......

The errand man here in Dali Temple was already nervous, and he trembled a little at this time: "My lord, who is behind you?" ”

It was as if Pei Tan was following a female ghost, until Pei Xian suddenly shook open the door on the other side of the autopsy room, and said coldly: "You can go in for an autopsy." ”

From the stunned gaze, he saw the coffin that had been opened.

The eyes of all the officials were also stunned by the scene in the autopsy.

Jing Wan'er followed Pei Tan out of the autopsy room, and then raised her eyes to look at the scene around her, it was still the familiar Dali Temple, except for the change of seasons, which brought a hint of gloom.

Pei Tan stopped in front of a room and stretched out his hand to push the door open. There was a dull smell of decay, and the air was filled with the smell of dust.

He walked in, one of the many abandoned houses in Dali Temple, which was poorly furnished.

He slowly looked at Jing Wan'er who followed behind him: "You stay here for the time being, I will have someone bring you some hot water." ”

She smelled of dust all over her body, so she didn't need to wash it well.

Jing Wan'er raised her head and Pei Tan looked at each other, and slowly blessed herself: "Thank you, my lord." ”

No matter how rough the environment of Dali Temple is, it is much better than in the coffin, and it is more free than the palace in the past.

Pei Tan glanced at the guards, and the two walked out of the house.

"Childe really wants Jing Wan'er to stay in Dali Temple?" Pei Xian stared at Pei Tan's figure.

Let's not talk about the identity of a woman, how attention-grabbing it is, a place like Dali Temple is not something that women should come to at all.

Pei Tan looked at him lightly: "Do you have a better way?" ”

Jing Wan'er has bluntly said that she really has nowhere to go except Dali Temple.

Pei Xian was silent for a long time: "If she stays here, sooner or later it will be bad for Gongzi." ”

A woman who carries the sin of the family on her back is still a fugitive slave in the palace, once exposed, Pei Tan and Dali Temple will inevitably suffer.

Pei Tan said for a long time: "Zong Huo's case, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to return to His Majesty within the time limit." In that case, it is the crime of resisting the decree and bullying the king, even if he reaches out to protect this girl now, Pei Tan has no regrets.

Pei Xian didn't say anything anymore, it seemed to be a tacit acquiescence.

Jing Wan'er put her burden on the bed board and looked around the room, in fact, except for being dirty, the room was still good, especially the window was facing the sun, and she could see the sun shining warmly in most of the room. Pei Tan's seemingly casual push open door didn't seem so casual.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but smile, unwrapped her baggage, straightened her dress, took out a small rag, and began to clean the room.

When the hot water was delivered, Jing Wan'er had just finished cleaning the ground, and two officials with strange expressions came in carrying a bucket of water: "Lord Siqing ordered hot water to be sent." ”

Jing Wan'er looked at them and immediately smiled: "Thank you, two big brothers." ”

The two officials glanced at each other, and there was a goosebump on the back of their heads.

They were on an errand in Dali Temple, not to mention women, they hadn't even seen a mother, and when their eyes swept to Jing Wan'er's white neck, there was a feeling of breathlessness.

Seeing that the two of them had run away, Jing Wan'er had already neatly undressed and lifted her foot and slid into the bucket.

Comfortable.

In the past six months, she didn't know what a bath was at all.

Just as Jing Wan'er was enjoying a hot bath, Master Pei sat in the hall and called for a servant.

He has just completed the autopsy and came to report back to Pei.

"My lord, the corpse is scrawny, a man of weak crowns, with a total of fifteen or sixteen wounds on his body, all of which are knife wounds, and the cause of death is also caused by excessive blood loss."

Pei Tan looked at the corpse: "Is there anything else on the corpse?" ”

He said, "No." Even their robes have been stripped off. ”

This kind of death happened on the edge of the official road, there were many bandits outside Chang'an City, often robbing passing merchants, and the deceased looked like they had been looted and killed.

In such a case, it is almost extremely difficult to find the murderer.

His eyes flickered at this moment.

"It's the girl...... My lord, dare to ask her if she is also in a coffin...... Inside、Is it? ”

Pei Tan's eyes were flat, and he said for a while: "Not bad." ”

He lowered his head, in his opinion, this is the default that Jing Wan'er is also the person brought by Qianniuwei.

It's just that there is a living woman in the coffin, which is too strange.

What's more, Qianniuwei's identity, why did he take such a woman into the city?

I'm afraid that all the people who have seen Jing Wan'er in Dali Temple have this kind of question.

Jing Wan'er changed her clothes in the house, looked at the old clothes she took off, thought about it, and threw them into the brazier.

Watching the clothes slowly burn out, it was not that she disliked the clothes and touched the corpse, but that she had worn this clothes, and had monitored the corpses of Qianniuwei outside the city, and carefully sailed the ship for ten thousand years, and it was better for this dress to appear again.

At this time, the screaming of her stomach reminded Jing Wan'er that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

Someone knocked on the door, Jing Wan'er opened the door and saw the cold Pei guard.

"My lord is eating in the study, so if you finish cleaning up, go over together."

Just as Jing Wan'er wanted, she smiled at Pei Xian and said, "Okay." ”

Pei Guards saw that her hair was still wet after washing, her clothes had been changed, and the strange smell on her body was gone.

Jing Wan'er raised her leg and wanted to leave, turned to see that the man was not moving, and withdrew her foot: "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Xian stared at her coldly: "Why are you so bold?" Dare to sneak into Chang'an City? ”

The Jing family is gone, Jing Wan'er is at most just a rootless orphan girl, where did she have the courage to repeatedly commit the crime of bullying the king.

Jing Wan'er saw that Pei Xian's hand on the side of her waist was a little tight, and there was his saber there.

"Because I'm not afraid of death." Her lips twitched, and she said calmly.

Or it's a big deal, it's a dead word, everything she does is taking great risks, so the benefits she gets are also huge, ordinary people, who dares to exchange their lives for these benefits.

Pei Xian's hand loosened, and at the same time, his eyes moved.

Jing Wan'er's stomach screamed again, she covered her stomach and looked at Pei Xian again. If the interrogation is over, can you take her to dinner?

Pei Xian stared at her deeply, as if he had seen through the face that seemed to be after confessing: "You want to use Gongzi to investigate the case of the Jing family for you, this is the purpose of you to stay in Dali Temple by all means." ”

Jing Wan'er's body froze almost instantly.

Pei Xian's eyes were cold, with a hint of solemnity: "Although you helped Dali Temple in Wuzhou, if you want to drag the entire Dali Temple to the funeral, the Pei family will never let you go." ”

Anyone who wants to re-investigate Jing's case is tantamount to committing the crime of rebellion, and involving Pei's century-old Qingmen in blood, I dare not think that this is what this girl with a smile on her face wants.

And Pei Tan is the descendant of the Pei family, his honor and disgrace are related to the entire Pei family, and when it is necessary, the Pei family can kill Jing Wan'er without hesitation.

Pei Xian's right hand was even pressed on the hilt of the knife, if this woman was a hidden danger, he would prefer to get rid of her for Pei Tan and the Pei family now, even if it was ...... When he was in Wuzhou, he did have that moment of compassion.

Jing Wan'er turned her head to face Pei Xian at this time, her expression was not subtle, "You really want to kill me?" ”

This guard, who is always silent, is actually the person who cannot be underestimated.

Pei Xian's eyes deepened, this courtyard is far away, even if Jing Wan'er dies here, it will take a long time for others to find out, and he, since the end of the meeting, plead guilty to Pei Tan. 、

Jing Wan'er said, "If you kill me, you can stop what happened next, right?" ”

Because she didn't panic, it made Pei Xian's hand holding the knife seem less certain.

However, this woman is indeed a scourge.

With only two people in the courtyard, Jing Wan'er's attempt to save her life is almost impossible, just like a fragile egg facing a boulder alone.

But Pei Xian didn't know why he didn't pull out the knife for a long time.

Jing Wan'er saw his hesitation, and naturally hooked her lips: "Even if what you say is the truth, you can kill me now, but if one day, the lord receives the will from the palace and wants him to retry the case back then, what about you, can you still kill the person who gave the order?" ”

This is so disrespectful that it is outrageous, Pei Xian's eyes are staring at Jing Wan'er, this girl is really not afraid of death.

Jing Wan'er didn't think she was making it up, she said a little tightly: "Can you guarantee that there will be no such day, if this day comes, my lord...... I'll need it. ”

She is the only descendant of the Jing family to stay in Chang'an, and this identity makes her the most critical button once the Jing case is retried in the future.

The guard finally sank his face: "There is no such day. ”

The current situation in the imperial court, the queen of heaven has passed away, and there will never be anyone who can shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Jing Wan'er is just a clever word.

"Your Majesty is cutting off the forces of foreign relatives." Jing Wan'er calmed down and stared at the guard's eyes, "Otherwise, why would Zong Huo die, the entire Chang'an is rampant with foreign relatives, Your Majesty has been subject to the Wu family for half his life, will he be willing to be subject to his relatives now?" ”

Pei Xian's expression suddenly changed color because of these words.
