The defenders of the city opened the customs clearance document handed over by Hu Shang, and their eyes were cold: "Captain Fengche? ”

Hu Shang, who was the leader, looked loyal and honest, and said with a smile: "Exactly." ”

The city guards stared at the row of boxes, and their eyes became even colder: "A mere fifth-grade official, need so many goods?" ”

It is already very suspicious, even if it is a rich family, it is rare to order more than a dozen boxes of large goods at a time.

Seeing the suspicious look of the city guard, "Open the box and search!" ”

The front box was kicked open, and it was empty, and there was nothing.

Three or five city guards came up and began to kick open these empty boxes one by one, and for a while it was the sound of Hu Shang pushing each other.

Just as they kicked open the fifth box, the group of Hu merchants had already reached into their arms, looking murderous.

If they fail, the killers who are ambushed around will naturally appear immediately and start another plan to kill and seize the road.

Suddenly, in the night sky of Chang'an, a shining firework appeared.

"Oh no, curfew has arrived!"

The faces of those city guards sank, "Quick! Speed up the check! ”

Someone glanced behind the group of Hu merchants and found that there were several teams waiting behind the long line of boxes.

Suddenly, Luo Wuqiu, the guard of the North City Gate, immediately said, "The five of you go to the back to check!" ”

So, a few defenders quickly rushed to the end of the line, and someone single-handedly opened the last box of the line, which was still empty.

Hu Shang's honest and flattering face still faced Luo Wuqiu.

Luo Wuqiu frowned, and finally waved his hand: "Go!" ”

Hu Shang immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, sir!" ”

So the leader beckoned, and a dozen people dragged a long string of empty boxes and left Chang'an City staggeringly.

……

After half a cup of tea, all the Hu merchants who had left the city had already left, facing the empty streets of the North City Gate, the guard general Luo Wuqiu, but with a pair of dark eyes, staring at the night that had just left the North City Gate.

"What's wrong, sir?" A soldier asked in surprise.

Luo Wuqiu stretched out his hand: "Bring me the customs clearance documents." ”

So a thick pile of documents was placed in Luo Wuqiu's hand, and Luo Wuqiu took out the customs clearance document of Fengche Duwei and squinted at it for a long time.

"Go to Dali Temple immediately and hand over this customs clearance document to Master Pei of Dali Temple."

Luo Wuqiu remembered that just an hour before the closing of the night market tonight, Qianniu Wei Zhonglang gave him an urgent order.

Change the decision to check the second-grade officials and above, and pay attention to businessmen below the fourth-grade level, but carry too many goods. - And, the more you go out of town before the curfew, the more you have to pay attention.

Although Luo Wuqiu didn't know what this order meant, from the moment he had just seen the Hu merchants with more than a dozen boxes of goods, his perennial keenness to guard the city gate had sensed that something was wrong with that group of people.

Not to mention whether Wupin Fengche Duwei wants so many goods, even if he needs, why did they not find such a huge record of Hu merchants entering the city at the city gate a few days ago.

There is no record of entering the city, but there is an exit from the city, which already shows that something is wrong with the team just now.

It seems that Captain Fengche is inconspicuous, and it is precisely because of his inconspicuousness that it looks even more weird.

The customs clearance document was sent to Dali Temple overnight, Pei Tan did not rest, and when he saw the issued document, he understood that he was right to temporarily change the target of the search.

"Childe, this Fengche Lieutenant Song Lang only issued three customs clearance documents in Chang'an last year, all of which are antique porcelain, adding up to less than half a box."

Pei Tan thought that with Zong Chuke's connections, it was very easy to get a second-grade document issued by the Wei family that was exempt from interrogation, but he remembered that what he could think of, how could the scheming Zong Shangshu not think of it.

The documents issued above the second grade are too conspicuous and too risky.

What looks safe is actually not safe. Again, what seems dangerous is perhaps safer. Pei Tan thought that in fact, the more carefully inspected the goods, the more they could dispel people's doubts. Because the gatekeeper will never suspect what he has checked.

If you want to pass the check of the city gate guards, you can only pass the customs smoothly when even the city gate guards don't have time to check them one by one.

The north gate of Chang'an is the gate with the largest flow of people to and from Hu merchants.

Pei Tan found this critical moment, the moment before the curfew.

Even if the guards are strict, they will be lax in the face of goods that cannot be fully checked.

As soon as Pei Tan thought of this, he sent a letter to Cui Shi, and it should be said that everything was just in time, too timely.

"Indeed, as Gongzi expected, our people who were ambushed at the city gate have already followed that group of Hu merchants."

Pei Tan closed the paperwork and looked at the attendant Pei Xian: "You must know where they will go after they leave the city." ”

Where will Zong Huo be sent by his father, it is not easy to say that he wants to make a person completely disappear in this world.

"Childe, don't worry, the people who are following are all masters of concealing their whereabouts that we specially selected from the Pei family's house, and it is absolutely impossible for those Hu people to find out."

Even if there are masters sent by Zong Chuke to protect Zong Huo, they may not be able to find out.

Pei talked about the quiet: "Your Majesty's meaning is that the matter is expedient, and it is best if this matter can be solved by leaving Chang'an." ”

That's why Pei Tan let the group of Hu businessmen leave.

This matter made a big fuss in Chang'an, and it was not good for anyone, including Zhongzong.

Pei Xian thought of something, and his eyes were deep: "Son, what are you going to do with those palace maids who escaped from the palace without permission?" ”

This is like another big case that appeared in the case of Zong Huo's fake death, the identities of these palace maids and the people behind them, if they don't report to Zhongzong, how can they be good. Unexpectedly, as soon as his son-in-law took office as Dali Siqing, he encountered so many seemingly complicated and difficult things.

Pei Tan's eyes were deep: "When the matter of Zong Huo is resolved, Your Majesty will naturally have other orders." ”

Including, Zhongzong once said that the Jing family case would be retried.

——

When Jing Wan'er entered the room, she subconsciously glanced at the foot of the bed from the corner of her eye, and suddenly felt a sigh in her heart.

The soot under the bed was deliberately sprinkled by her, and the location of the soot now shows that someone has touched something under her bed.

She immediately rushed over, lifted the curtain on the bed, and looked down to see the package she had hidden inside.

Jing Wan'er reached out and found that the knots in the package were wrong, and when she opened the package, sure enough, it was empty.

"Are you looking for this?" A malicious voice came triumphantly from the door.

Jing Wan'er immediately turned around and saw Qiao'er walking in with one foot, holding in her hand the paper and pen in her package.

Seeing Jing Wan'er's expression change, she clenched her hands and slowly stood up from the side of the bed.

Qiao'er leaned triumphantly against the door, shaking the things she had found out of the package in her hand: "Jing Wan'er, you are so bold, you actually hide pen and ink privately, wait until I tell Shang Gong to see how she treats you for capital crimes!" ”

Jing Wan'er was slightly relieved in her heart, at least it showed that this Qiao'er hadn't told anyone yet.

She immediately sneered: "What kind of pen and ink, I don't know at all." I see, it's clearly your own, isn't it? ”

Qiao'er laughed sharply and glared at her viciously: "You don't quibble, this is from under your bed, besides, except for you, no one here is literate at all, as long as these things are handed over to Lord Shanggong, you can't escape death even if you are clever!" ”

Jing Wan'er was a little chilled, but this Qiao'er was a little smarter, and she actually knew how to hold her weakness.

Indeed, it is impossible for Cui Shanggong to believe that these pen and paper belong to someone else.

I saw a smile suddenly appear on Jing Wan'er's face, and she took a step towards Qiao'er.

Qiao'er immediately retreated vigilantly: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

Jing Wan'er stared at her: "I'm thinking, what kind of courage do you have to dare to sue Shang Gong." ”

Qiao'er said bitterly: "Why don't I dare? ”

"Do you dare?" Jing Wan'er took another step forward, her cool face always made these palace maids retreat, "Don't forget, last time, it was Cui Shanggong who ordered you to let you and I rein in that corpse together." I haven't told Cui Shanggong about the fact that you forgot to bring the token and just waited for me at the palace gate. ”

This is Qiao'er's biggest mistake, Cui Shanggong will not forgive a palace maid who disobeys her words, especially Jing Wan'er has already understood the reason why Cui Shanggong told Qiao'er to follow her closely at that time.

It was the corpse of "Zonghuo", and it was simply not tolerable to have a half-point difference pool.

Qiao'er's smug face really changed suddenly, and she looked at Jing Wan'er with a pale face: "You slut, how dare you?" ”

The corners of Jing Wan'er's lips hooked up a smile: "As long as you dare, I dare." ”

Qiao'er scolded: "Slut, it was clear that you asked me to wait in the palace gate......"

Jing Wan'er interrupted her: "That's right, but don't forget, it's you who forgot to bring the token first, it's no wonder to me." ”

Qiao'er's face was as white as paper, she obviously didn't expect Jing Wan'er to use this matter to blackmail her.

Jing Wan'er sneered between her lips and teeth: "Do you want to try, is it that I am more guilty of hiding pen and ink, or is it ...... You disobey and disrespect, and even deceive Lord Shanggong, the two of us, who will be the one who died? ”

Qiao'er was already trembling with anger: "You, you slut is so poisonous......"

Jing Wan'er said indifferently: "Each other." "She just doesn't mind dying with Qiao'er.

She reached out to Qiao'er with one hand, and her meaning was self-explanatory.

Qiao'er's pale face looked at her for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Jing Wan'er, I already knew that you had bad intentions, and most of these papers and pens were used by you to conspire with your accomplices, right?" ”

Jing Wan'er's eyes moved slightly: "I am with you every day, even if I hide paper and pen, which of you is my accomplice?" ”

Qiao'er lost completely, she viciously threw the pen and ink in her hand, glared at Jing Wan'er viciously for a moment, turned around and left the house.

Jing Wan'er suddenly took off her disguise at this time, walked over quickly with a pale face, and picked up her own things from the ground.

The nib of the pen has been broken by Qiao'er, and even the ink that she has worked so hard to save is not much left.

Rao is like this, Jing Wan'er still carefully put these things in her arms, as if she was putting them into a precious dream.
