The reason why rumors, no matter how smart people are, avoid them like scorpions, is because they are untraceable.

After Shen Xingwen finished speaking, he also knew that what he said was equivalent to saying it in vain. This trick can be regarded as a negative loss.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but grit her teeth and looked at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan's face sank like water: "We don't have to be affected by the sound outside, what should be done in this case, what should be done." ”

This is what Pei Tan will say, not moved by any interference, and always only do what he should do.

But this time, Jing Wan'er really had a heavy premonition in her heart.

Pei Tan said in a deep voice: "Only by handling this case well can I ask Your Majesty for a decree to withdraw this marriage." ”

Shen Xingwen's expression moved, a little incredulous: "My lord... Want to get out of the marriage? ”

Jing Wan'er's eyes fluctuated: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Even if Pei Tan wants to handle this case fairly, he doesn't have to withdraw from the marriage

Besides, I'm afraid that those people are the identity of the red-eyed Tang Junma, so they will make this trick. If Pei Tan divorces the marriage, at least those people will succeed.

"In the past few cases, His Majesty's return to Dali Temple must have aroused the envy of many people. Now that they see the adults on a higher level and become the emperor's son-in-law, wouldn't it make them even more blushing. Jing Wan'er said, "Adults don't have to weigh their minds at all. Especially when this case is solved, they will be even more jealous of your higher status. ”

Power is everything in Chang'an, no power will only make people trample under their feet, there is a Dali Temple Qing who is a horse, and Dali Temple will also be in full swing.

Shen Xingwen narrowed his eyes and said for a while: "In that case, why don't you ask Your Majesty to terminate the marriage contract now, so as to curb the rumors?" ”

At this time, asking for the retraction of the marriage gift can appear more selfless and convincing.

"Not really." Pei Tan said in a deep voice, "If you ask Your Majesty to retract your will now, the people will only think that Your Majesty is under pressure from rumors, and in this way, it will damage Your Majesty's royal authority." ”

Jing Wan'er had a feeling of being empowered.

Thinking about it, Shen Xingwen was similar, his face was much darker. It is said that the king has no jokes, this is not a joke, especially for Zhongzong, if he is such a special emperor, if he casually withdraws the holy decree that has been issued because of a few rumors, others will only think that the king has no prestige and is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.

In this way, Zhongzong will definitely not agree to withdraw the holy decree, so if Pei Tan insists on asking for a divorce, the consequences will be simply... Disastrous.

After Shen Xingwen thought it through, he laughed at himself: "Shen thinks very highly of himself, and in front of adults, he is indeed inferior." ”

It is the best policy to subdue a person so that he can surrender from the bottom of his heart, but now Pei Tan has no mental strength to be happy, it should be said that he is far from being as calm as he appears.

The situation is not at all friendly to Dali Temple.

Since Pei Tan made up his mind not to do anything, he was a little laissez-faire in the state of affairs where the rumors intensified.

"Lord Shangshu, now the whole city has spread all over the city, Pei Qingtian? Hehe, this title is too elevating that shaft. ”

Zong Chuke's face was gloomy for many days before a smile appeared: "Your Majesty."

When I got married, I didn't think that there would be today. In the final analysis, it is our majesty who is too anxious. ”

Too anxious to win over Dali Temple and win over Pei Tan.

"Whether Prince Zhang Huai was wronged back then, no one can say. Since it is something that cannot be explained, then naturally everyone can have their own thoughts. "A little more oil and vinegar can make the case of the year full of fog and fog in the hearts of ordinary people.

At this time, whoever insists on overturning the case will make people suspicious.

Zong Chuke slowly flicked the lid of the cup: "What about Dali Temple, what is the movement?" ”

The strategist said: "That shaft is calm, and it was expected by adults. ”

If Pei Tan only had this bit of the city, he would not have made his family Shangshu so jealous.

Zong Chuke paused the teacup on the table, his eyes gloomy: "It's just a little rumor, and it can't move the foundation of Dali Temple." "He wanted more. He hoped to see Dali Temple and Pei Tan together.

The strategist's eyes moved: "Please help Niangniang?" ”

When he learned that Zhongzong wanted to retry the case of Prince Zhang Huai, Empress Wei "

casually mentioned this marriage, and sure enough, Zhongzong agreed without thinking much about it. There is only one person who Zhongzong can use, and he will only trust Pei Tan to try the case, and it is logical to hand over the matter of clearing the grievances of his brother Prince Zhang Huai to Pei Tan.

Empress Wei is a woman who seeks things in the world, she can survive with Zhongzong under the torture of the Queen of Heaven, and once Empress Wei is in power.

"Your Majesty wants his brother to be truly rehabilitated and to be cheered and surrendered by the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. But he chose Pei Tan to handle the case, as long as there is this marriage, he will be famous for eternity in the future, and Prince Zhang Huai will never be able to get a real name. ”

In Zong Chuke's eyes, there was a touch of happiness. manipulates people's hearts to such an extent, how can they not be called traitors.

When Zhongzong agreed to this marriage, he must have thought that this holy decree was at most a good move for him to take Pei Tan one step closer to his own. But he forgot that Pei Tan didn't need him to use it at all, as long as he was Dali Siqing one day, Pei Tan would definitely be a big rabbit for Datang.

Empress Wei's "casually" suggestion to Zhongzong, behind the gentleness, is the knife of scraping bones.

The strategist's gloomy eyes: "If Pei Tan... Break this game? ”

For a long time, the contest between Pei Tan and Shangshu Mansion has left a deep trace in Zong Chuke's heart, although the current situation is difficult to solve, but Pei Tan will not come up with a way.

Zong Chuke's eyes suddenly became ruthless: "Then let him never turn over." ”

The strategist's eyes were also full of ambition: "Let that erector pay for the son's life." ”

Speaking of the dead Zong Huo, Zong Chuke's eyes suddenly became dark and dark: "In the death of my son, isn't there still that female doll surnamed Jing?" ”

The rim of the porcelain jade cup was crushed in the palm of Zong Chuke.

"Pei Tan has always taken the girl with him, and between the two, there is naturally a deal."

——

Jing Wan'er really couldn't sleep well, it should be said that after returning from Qinglong Temple, her heart knot has actually been let go a lot.

But this time, she always had a vague thrill. The last time I felt like this was that night in the Jing family.

Pei Tan's plan is clear to her, and after solving the case, she will ask for a divorce, which is enough to show that Dali Temple is not biased. This is also the best way to break this situation.

But there is no problem with Pei Tan's plan, but what makes Jing Wan'er jump is the changes that may occur in the middle.

Jing Wan'er's premonition soon came true.

On the evening of the second day, someone sent a letter to Dali Temple, which was for Jing Wan'er.

Ask Jing Wan'er to meet in the teahouse last time.

The last time she reported to Jing Wan'er, it was a girl named Heytea, who worked as a tea-picking maid in the palace, and after escaping from the palace, she also took refuge in a teahouse.

It's only been a few days, why did Heytea send her a secret message again?

Jing Wan'er wasn't sure if she was going to go. She subconsciously felt that this letter was strange, but Heytea was her person, and the code words on the letter were only known to the two of them, if she didn't go... Jing Wan'er was thinking, what if Heytea is in danger?

Since she couldn't help but go, Jing Wan'er sighed in her heart.

This time, Jing Wan'er deliberately changed into a woman's clothes, put on a cloak, and left Dali Temple through the side door.

Walking to the bottom of the teahouse, Jing Wan'er stopped and did not go in directly.

She slowly walked around to the back of the teahouse, where she looked up and saw the private room they had made an appointment with.

I saw that the window of the private room was ajar, and there was really a young girl sitting there. Judging from the figure, it is indeed Hey Tea.

Jing Wan'er was breathing a sigh of relief, and at this time, the Hey Tea by the window happened to turn her head and saw Jing Wan'er downstairs.

The two looked at each other.

Heycha suddenly turned pale, and suddenly clinged to the edge of the window with both hands, as if she was about to jump down!

Four hands appeared on Heycha's shoulders and pulled her back brutally.

Jing Wan'er's heart sank.

Heycha shouted by the window: "Girl, run!" ”

Heytea's voice was torn and crying.

Jing Wan'er gritted her teeth and was about to leave, when she saw a group of people rushing towards her in front of the street, she immediately turned back, only to see that the back road was also blocked by people, and she was attacked back and forth, giving her no room to react at all.

Jing Wan'er hadn't encountered such a desperate situation for many years, and she stood in place for a while, her face pale and frosty.

I saw that there were at least 20 people on both sides, and after Jing Wan'er was blocked, the group of people stopped moving. just looked at Jing Wan'er expressionlessly.

Behind them, a carriage surrounded on all sides slowly stepped forward.

Looking at the carriage, Jing Wan'er gave up her plan to call for help.

This backstreet is sparsely populated, blocking her here, telling the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, and she can be knocked unconscious by the people here without her voice.

"Don't shout, don't shout, it seems that you really have some guts." In front of the carriage, a man snorted coldly and looked at Jing Wan'er with a proud posture. The man was dressed in fine clothes, and he was no different from the people around him.

At this time, there was no point in covering up, Jing Wan'er slowly took off her cloak.

She could feel that, for a moment, there was a pair of eyes in the carriage staring at her.

Those eyes saw her deeply from top to bottom, and it made people feel like they were being judged.

The man standing in front of the carriage suddenly retracted his expression, and his ears approached the carriage, obviously listening to the order.

After listening, he glanced at Jing Wan'er: "You, report your name." ”

Jing Wan'er wanted to smile, looked at the group of people, and slowly asked, "You blocked me, don't you know my name?" ”

The man's face froze, as if he was about to get angry.

At this time, the people in the carriage began to say something again, and the man listened for a while, and once again suppressed his anger and looked at Jing Wan'er.

"Jing Wan'er, fifteen years old, the daughter of a criminal minister, an inferior palace maid in the palace, am I right?"

Jing Wan'er looked at the man, "You're looking for me, it's okay with the girl upstairs, let her go." ”

This time the man spoke directly: "Why are you talking about conditions? ”
