Chapter Twenty-Three: Qingzi

"Pei talks about this shaft, and that's it." After all, he was young, and he couldn't hold it back for long. The face of the person who spoke was dark.

Zong Chuke was cold and gloomy: "Do you think that's Pei Tan's real appearance?" ”

The person who spoke before immediately restrained his expression, "The subordinates just think that the adults have been working hard for the affairs of the son recently, and they have to be distracted to take care of the shaft, where is the shaft worthy of the adult?" ”

In fact, this person was the person who had planned to let Zong Huo escape before, but he was bent on taking advantage of this matter to ask for credit in front of Zong Chuke and plan his own official position in the court

Zong Chuke was silent for a long time: "Where is Huo'er now?" ”

The master had a shrewd face, and stepped forward and said: "Huo Gongzi must have retreated, as long as he arrives at the place, he will definitely send a message to the adults to report safety." ”

In fact, according to the plan they had made with the dead soldiers who protected Zonghuo, they should have arrived in the expected town as early as that kind of journey.

But this person also thought that Zong Huo's heart was greedy and lustful, and he was lazy and hardworking, maybe as soon as he left Chang'an, it would be like a fish swimming into the sea, and it would be impossible for the dead to force him to hurry forward day and night.

Zong Chuke couldn't help but sink again, his eyes were still pressing: "If that vertical man is not right-minded, why did he deliberately do all kinds of things, what did he want?"

Pei Tan will always be the one who almost forced his son to death, and at any time, even if everyone relaxes their vigilance against Pei Tan, he will never be able to do this.

"Actually, it's about this matter...... the staff said with a flash in their eyes, "Wei Xiang has already said it himself, Xiang Ye thinks that Pei Tan is already unmatched among the Pei family's disciples, and even now that he is an official in Dali Temple, he even has a faint rival to Di Gong in terms of his ability to solve cases." ”

Di Gong.

This is the existence that can touch the hearts of all the people of Datang with these two words alone.

Di Renjie has faintly become the soul of the Tang Dynasty.

And Wei Xiang, who is usually estranged and indifferent, and the head of the hundred officials, actually compared Pei Tan, a young junior, to Di Gong, Zong Chuke's arms trembled, and his face sank like ink.

The staff lowered their heads and said for a while: "But Wei Xiang also said that Pei Tan's whereabouts have been staying in the Drunken Love Building for the past two days, and everyone is watching, even if he has the ability of Di Gong, it is impossible for him to go to Huo Gongzi again." ”

In other words, Zong Huo is still alive in the world, Pei Tan really doesn't know.

Zong Chuke has been twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his palm, and in front of outsiders, he is still the military department Shangshu who has suffered the pain of losing his son. He couldn't show his flaws in front of outsiders, and the beads in his hands were pulled down by him little by little.

After all, Zong Chuke is still attached to the Wei family, and the Wei family didn't help him keep his son last time, but this time Wei Xuanzhen will do this, which is more or less appeased.

However, Zong Chuke is not a good person.

Darkness appeared in his eyes, and the beads in his hand were pinched hard: "Prepare, the old man will enter the palace." …… After working hard for the Wei family for so many years, at least there are some requirements, and they should meet the old man. ”

——

Jing Wan'er looked up at the signboard of the Drunken Love Building, and smiled faintly in her eyes.

She took off her hat and stepped forward, revealing a deliberately combed face, and gently brushed the faces of the two guys at the door of the drunken building: "Two big brothers, please let me know."

The people at the door had long seen Jing Wan'er strange, and when the woman passed by the door of the Qinglou, she took a detour. But this girl's appearance is not afraid of being polluted by the filthy land of Qinglou.

Jing Wan'er said, uncovered the cloth on the basket in her right hand, revealed a jar of sealed wine, and said, "Master Pei Tan Pei ordered a pot of wine in our Moon Tower, and I brought it to him." ”

The two guys in the drunken building glanced at each other, but they showed vigilance: "There are countless wines in our building, where does Master Pei need to buy wine from outside." Moreover...... In the past two days, Master Pei has not drunk at all. ”

Looking at Jing Wan'er like this, it is simply suspicious. Except for the time when Wei Xuanzhen came yesterday, Pei Tan was in the drunken building, and he drank tea all the time.

Jing Wan'er's eyes flickered, but her expression did not move, and the corners of her mouth were hooked: "Did Lord Pei buy our wine, the two eldest brothers just need to go in and pass it on, and ask Master Pei in person, isn't it clear?" ”

Pei Tan's identity is there, and the people in the drunken building still don't dare to offend Pei Tan after all.

One of the guys frowned and said sharply: "You are so bold, Lord Pei is drinking with the Oiran inside, how can you allow a person who suddenly appeared to come in and disturb at will?" ”

Still don't dare, Jing Wan'er looked at the two of them, and smiled slightly for a long time: "Then there is no way." If the two eldest brothers really can't be accommodating, I can only say to the boss that this wine really can't be delivered. Let the boss make amends to Master Pei. ”

Saying that, Jing Wan'er made a gesture to leave, and reached out to cover the wine in the basket.

"Wait a minute," the other guy said after hesitation, "Is it true that Master Pei wants you to bring wine?" ”

Jing Wan'er turned around and smiled silently: "I said, please ask the eldest brother to go up and spread the word, it is enough." ”

There is no need to take responsibility, just talk about Pei with a word, and you can solve the situation in front of you.

The guy stared at Jing Wan'er for a moment, then turned to the other guy and said, "I'll go up and pass the word, you...... Looking at this girl, if you find that there is no such thing after asking Master Pei......"

The meaning of warnings and threats is obvious.

can open a green building in Chang'an, and it is one of the best brothels like Drunken Love Building, there have long been private means, and there is no one behind the financial owner of the first and second grades to support him.

Jing Wan'er stopped her steps, "Please also tell Master Pei that it was Wangyue Lou who sent wine as promised......" She looked at the guy who had already entered the building with a smile.

The rest of the fellow stared at her gloomily, and Jing Wan'er waited in place with a wine basket on her shoulder. Don't worry about her escaping, she is here to see Pei Tan today, if she leaves without seeing anyone, wouldn't it be a loss.

For Jing Wan'er, Pei Tan is really good in the Drunken Love Building, if he is still in Dali Temple, what method will she use to see him?

Just when her mind was slightly confused, she found that the guy in front of the door was staring at her with an unkind face.

Also, the guy who passed the word seemed to have been gone for a long time.

She was a little confused, could it be that something had happened?

But when Pei Tan heard Mochizuki Tower, he should understand.

Half a moment passed, and there was still no response. Jing Wan'er's expression became solemn.

The guy at the door, while indifferently watching, also put his hand on the handle of the knife on his waist.

Jing Wan'er pinched the handle of the basket, and it seemed that she had to run away if necessary.

Boom! Someone rushed over inside, it was the guy who went to find Pei Tan, and the guest who was looking for fun on the first floor came to the door.

Jing Wan'er looked at him, his expression was cold: "Master Pei said, if you want, put down the wine and leave by yourself." ”

Jing Wan'er's eyes flickered, what does it mean that if she wants to, she will put down the wine and leave, what does this mean?

She pondered for a long time and said slowly: "This wine is sealed in a special way, I need to say it to Master Pei in person." ”

The guy stared at it for a moment, and sure enough, Jing Wan'er made the right bet this time, the guy didn't stop him anymore, turned sideways and said coldly: "Go in." Mr. Pei turned left to the first box on the third floor. ”

Jing Wan'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went up with a wine basket, but although she had deliberately lowered her head, many people saw her for the first time.

In the Qinglou, only men would come in through the door, and the nasty guest teased: "Hey, this little beauty, is it the new girl in your building?" ”

But the guy at the door said coldly: "This is the maid who belongs to the distinguished guest on the third floor." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to shout on the first floor, and the third floor could only be entered by members of the third grade or above, and they had something to do with it, even if it was a maidservant, no one would be afraid to tease him.

Jing Wan'er went up the stairs smoothly, and almost instantly after going upstairs, she felt that the hustle and bustle on the first floor had become the sound of another world. From the second floor onwards, the Drunken House became quiet and quiet.

Jing Wan'er glanced at the third floor, and there was a door that was hidden.

The Qinglou is not all a place of pickled fish and fish, it is just a low-grade kiln, and those dignitaries and dignitaries in the court come to visit the Qinglou, not to be like those hungry ghosts on the first floor just now, and they will shine green light at a woman.

Jing Wan'er did psychological construction for a while, pushed the door and walked in.

Unexpectedly, Pei Tan was the only one there.

There are no singing and dancing silk bamboos, surrounded by imaginary beauties, Pei Tan sat quietly at the table alone, and as soon as the door opened, he looked at Jing Wan'er.

"What are you going to do?" He asked lightly.

Jing Wan'er was still holding the pretended wine basket in her hand, looked at Pei Tan and said, "My lord." ”

"Come in and close the door." Pei Tan said.

Jing Wan'er walked in as she said, and after putting the basket she was carrying on the ground at her feet, she freed her hands and slowly closed the door in front of her.

After a moment, she turned around, "My lord, Wan'er needs to see you for something." ”

Pei Tan looked at her with an unchanged expression.

Jing Wan'er walked over, just now Pei Tan asked her to put down her wine and leave, because she was worried that her identity would be exposed, or she didn't think she had anything urgent to say.

Pei Tan said quietly: "Many of the people in the Drunken Love Building are Chang'an nobles who have been in and out of the palace, do you know that when you appear here, the situation is completely different from when you were in the Moon Tower?" ”

This is the reason why Pei Tan didn't let the guy call Jing Wan'er for a long time, just like Jing Wan'er said, in a place like Wangyue Tower, no one is destined to never be able to recognize the face of a palace maid, but in the eyes of Drunken Qinglou, Jing Wan'er will not be so safe.

Jing Wan'er bowed her head for a long time and said, "Wan'er knows that Wan'er didn't mean to cause trouble to adults, so she naturally came here after consideration. ”

Pei Tan looked at her slowly: "Say it, your consideration." ”

Jing Wan'er raised her head slowly, Manman Qingzi, she has been in the palace for many years, and she has not worn out the demeanor of Jing's daughter, Pei Tan's worry is not wrong, not only that those guests on the first floor will notice her at a glance, but it will be the same in anyone's eyes.
