Chapter 121: Trying to Catch the Dead

Shen Xingwen looked at the door that had been ruthlessly closed in front of him and raised his eyebrows. But then, he straightened his clothes and turned away from the courtyard without saying a word.

Shen Xingwen temporarily mobilized more than 20 officials of Dali Temple, this was the first time he exercised the power of the temple, instructed all the officials to change into civilian clothes, and followed him out of Dali Temple.

When they arrived at a street near the city gate, Shen Xingwen stared at the corner of the street, and a few people who were in a hurry smiled meaningfully.

Then, he rode his horse with the officials to the city gate.

"Dali Temple went out of the city to handle the case, and a murderer absconded." When he arrived at the door, Shen Xingwen took out his waist card and shook it over.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city glanced at Shen Xingwen, and then looked at the officials wearing the uniforms of Dali Temple, "I have not received any news that the murderer has escaped, and I have not let any suspicious people go out of the city at the city gate today." ”

Shen Xingwen looked at the officer and soldier faintly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling: "Could it be that the city guards think that everyone in this world has engraved the word murderer on their faces, so that you can see it when you see it?" ”

This obvious irony made several officers and soldiers defending the city change their faces.

Although the city gate guards did not have a high position, they did the errand of guarding the imperial city, and no one dared to offend them like this.

Seeing that this officer and soldier lowered his face, Shen Xingwen said coldly: "If you don't chase it again, the murderer will escape." If we are stopped in this way, when the time comes, will the murderers escape, will your city defense battalion be able to bear it? ”

The guard held back his anger and said, "Open the door and let it go." ”

Shen Xingwen sat on his horse leisurely, and immediately led dozens of officials to gallop out of the city after the city gate was opened.

Zong Chuke asked the leader of the government soldiers kneeling in front of him: "Have you found Hu Chao's whereabouts?" “

The leader said: "The subordinates led people to conduct secret inspections from house to house on the Thirteenth Street, and Hu Chao was cunning, often changing residences and wandering between several residences. It was not easy for his subordinates to find a place where he had recently landed. ”

It's a favored celebrity around the queen back then, how can it be possible without any ability.

And this Hu Chao is even more proficient in tricks and hexagrams, so many years of stealth in Chang'an, deceiving gods and ghosts, if it weren't for the queen of heaven losing power, this person wouldn't know what to do

Stirring up the wind and making waves, confusing the dynasty.

Zong Chuke stared at him: "Since you have found your whereabouts, what about that person?" ”

Only the government soldiers in the mansion came back, but they didn't see Hu Chao.

The leader was a little cold sweat at this time: "People... Fled. ”

Zong Chuke's voice didn't fluctuate, but it didn't mean that he didn't move: "Are you saying that your more than twenty well-trained soldiers haven't caught a single warlock who is powerless?" ”

The leader immediately kowtowed a few times on the ground: "When the subordinates arrived, the tea in Hu Chao's house had not yet cooled, and it was obvious that they had run away in a hurry after getting the news." ”

Zong Chuke's expression was gloomy: "You mean that someone gave him a message?" ”

The leader looked up: "It must be so!" Just half an hour before the subordinates arrived, someone saw a woman who had stopped in front of Hu Chao's door. ”

Someone took the lead, just one step ahead of Shangshufu, who is so capable?

Zong Chuke's expression was gloomy again, Hu Chao was just a charlatan

Shi, when the queen of heaven is here, he can still show off his might, and now who will help him escape?

"Dali Temple?" He looked coldly at the leader. If Dali Temple discovers Hu Chao's identity, it will be too late to say anything.

The leader shook his head desperately: "I didn't see the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple on the street, if it was Dali Temple, Hu Chao would definitely be arrested directly, how could he send him a letter and let him escape?" ”

That's exactly what I think. If Dali Temple grasps Hu Chao's whereabouts, Pei Tan's approach must be taken away directly.

"Then don't worry, as long as people are still in Chang'an City, it will be difficult to fly with wings." Zong Chuke's eyes were gloomy, sooner or later, Hu Chao would be the turtle in his urn.

Zhongzong was reinstated, Hu Chao got the news and wanted to escape, Zong Chuke seized Hu Chao's customs clearance documents and trapped him in Chang'an City.

Zong Chuke climbed to today's high position, no one believed that Hu Chao, a person who had mastered too many secrets, how could he let him go with confidence.

——

Hu Chao looked at the sky and the clouds were faint, and he couldn't believe that he had really escaped. He took out the paperwork from his chest, who gave it to him

There is no name for the customs clearance paperwork, everything is like in a dream.

Hu Chao gritted his teeth, if it weren't for Zong Chuke who withheld the customs clearance documents given to him by the Queen of Heaven, why would he have lived like a street rat in Chang'an City all these years.

Hu Chao immediately tore up the paperwork in his hand and threw it away, he would never return to Chang'an in this life.

Hu Chao looked at the official road in front of him and strode up.

On both sides of the official road, there were officers and soldiers he didn't expect, wearing official uniforms and holding knives around him in the middle.

Shen Xingwen appeared on a horseback slowly: "How does it taste to be free?" “

Hu Chao stared at the man in front of him, although he didn't know it, he obviously knew that the person who came was not good.

Shen Xingwen said lightly: "I really can't imagine that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them." “

This Hu Chao is an important witness, it is better to say that the death of the prince back then, this one is indispensable.

Hu Chao looked at Shen Xingwen: "What are you going to do?" “

Shen Xingwen smiled gently, without extra nonsense, and said, "Take it." “

Suddenly, the officials of Dali Temple surrounded him, and tied Hu Chao up without much effort, these warlocks are very weak, too, they are obsessed with seeking immortals every day and asking, where do you still have the heart to exercise your body. Suddenly, the officials of Dali Temple surrounded him, and tied Hu Chao up without much effort, these warlocks are very weak, too, they are obsessed with seeking immortals every day and asking, where do you still have the heart to exercise your body.

Hu Chao is still struggling: "Who do you obey?" “

Shen Xingwen's voice was faint and unfluctuating: "There is only one Tang Dynasty Emperor in the world, who do you say you should obey?" “

Hu Chao's eyes showed horror for the first time.

Shen Xingwen instructed the officials: "Cover his head and face and take him to the place where he should be brought." “

Hu Chao didn't have enough free air to breathe, so he returned to Chang'an in the dark.

Shen Xingwen didn't stay long, the night was long and dreamy, Hu Chao escaped from the city to the time he was arrested, and the time was extremely short enough for the people behind him to have time to react.

This trick is extremely beautiful, and Hu Chao, who was arrested, is still in fear. Until the black cloth on his head was removed, and when he looked around, it was a prison.

Hu Chao stared at the person in front of him and forced himself to calm down: "Why are you arresting me?" Where is this? “

He still has a trace of luck, even if his identity is known, he is also a person who has served the king, and he can be arrested for any crime.

Shen Xingwen looked at this person: "This is the prison of Dali Temple, except for the prison in the palace, there will be no place more difficult to fly out of the entire Tang Dynasty than Dali Temple." “

Hu Chao's face was like swallowing a fly. He never dreamed that it was Dali Temple that was holding him.

Shen Xingwen then said lightly: "As for the crime, you are suspected of murdering the former prince, the former Yongwang Li Xian, you and the thieves fabricated evidence to frame the prince for rebellion, resulting in the death of the prince, this crime is enough to be directly dragged to death row, and wait for the judgment after the autumn, right?" “

——

As Shen Xingwen said to Pei Tan before, this kind of arrest of Hu Chao and interrogation in prison was personally brought forward by Shen Xingwen.

Hu Chao is different from other prisoners who Pei Tan has personally tried, he is cunning and smart, and a gentleman like Pei Tan can't get anything from Hu Chao.

Pei Tan looked at the girl in front of him: "What did you plan to do at the beginning?" “

Jing Wan'er has nothing to be brutal about: "After finding out Hu Chao's whereabouts, the people who revealed it to Shangshu Mansion knew." When Hu Chao falls into the hands of Zong Chuke, Zong Chuke will kill him. “

That's how it is used to kill people with a knife, and Zong Chuke will definitely not leave Hu Chao alive.

As soon as Hu Chao died, it was naturally regarded as revenge.

Pei Tan's gaze was deep, "Then you... Why did you change your mind again? “

Jing Wan'er bit her lip. She squeezes her hands when she's nervous.

"Because... Wan'er knows that Hu Chao still has value, he is alive and can help adults... Dali Temple traced the clues of the year. “

Even if Jing Wan'er already knew in her heart that Hu Chao had framed her father, this was different from sending Hu Chao to Dali Temple for interrogation, and then finding evidence and reporting the crime.

Jing Wan'er gave up the plan she had been thinking about for a long time and chose to help Dali Temple catch people.

Pei Tan was also silent for a long time: "Why let Shen Xingwen wait until Hu."

Beyond the city and then catch? "Instead of omitting this paragraph, he directly sent troops to Hu Chao's mansion to take people down.

Jing Wan'er's face was pale, and she only cheered up slightly, and said: "In Chang'an City, there are Zong Chuke's eyeliner everywhere, and they know that since the day the Lord retried the prince's case, they have been looking for Hu Chao's whereabouts. If Dali Temple had caught Hu Chao in the city with great fanfare, they would have immediately guessed that at that time... They are likely to take risks and not know what they will do. “

Jing Wan'er cheered up a little and said: "In Chang'an City, there are the eyeliners of Zong Chuke everywhere, and they know that since the day the Lord retried the prince's case, they have been looking for Hu Chao's whereabouts. If Dali Temple had caught Hu Chao in the city with great fanfare, they would have immediately guessed that at that time... They are likely to take risks and not know what they will do. “

So Heytea sacrificed the opportunity to go out of the city, and quietly sent the document that cleared the customs to Hu Chao's door.

Now, no one knows about Dali Temple catching Hu Chao, which is equivalent to giving Dali Temple a God-given opportunity. Now let's see if their Shen Sicheng can pry Hu Chao's mouth open.

In prison, Hu Chao's eyes were red, and he glared at Shen Xingwen, this person actually mentioned the former prince Li Xian, who is he?

Shen Xingwen became more and more leisurely: "A warlock in the rivers and lakes designed to frame the prince for rebellion, and there were also warlocks in the previous dynasty who tried in vain to steal the court, do you know what happened to them?" ”

Hu Chao trembled, "Why do you say that I framed the former prince?" ”

The two jailers brought a chair, and Shen Xingwen sat upright on the chair and continued to look at Hu Chao.

"Coincidentally, I also want to ask you why."
