On this day, Pei Tan rested at home, which was his real home, Pei's mansion in Chang'an.

At least he didn't appear in Dali Temple for half a month, not only Dali Temple needs to avoid the limelight, but Pei Tan is the same. Before becoming the identity of Dali Siqing, he was a simple person who did not always deal with dead people and crimes.

When the servant of Pei Mansion opened the door, his face changed: "What's the matter?" ”

Then I saw a white-skinned man with a smile on his face at the door, and then I saw that the man was dressed in a eunuch uniform, and his overall temperament was feminine and feminine.

"This is Pei Siqing's mansion, but it really makes our family easy to find."

Pei Tan likes to be quiet, and the house he bought is located in a remote place, and the carriage has to be avoided a little.

The servant stammered: "You, who are you?" ”

The eunuch, who is neither male nor female, said in a measured manner: "Go and call Pei Siqing out."

Let's take the order, we won't go in. ”

Pick-up? The back of the servant's head sweated, "I'm going to call my son-in-law!" ”

Pei Tan came to the door later, dressed in an ordinary green shirt, so that people couldn't tell that he was the Dali Siqing who was in charge of the prison sentence.

When the eunuch saw Pei Tan come out, he narrowed his eyes and slowly took out the Ming Huang Holy Decree from his sleeve.

Suddenly, the servants at the gate of Pei's mansion knelt on the ground.

Pei Tan's clothes were straightened out, and he slowly knelt down: "The minister accepts the order." ”

The eunuch opened the decree and said in a sharp voice:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Pei Tan, the son-in-law of the Pei family in Hedong, has repeatedly solved strange cases since he was appointed as the secretary of Dali Temple, and he has made outstanding contributions. I am very relieved. Today's daughter of Guangluqing, skillful and generous, gentle and generous, outstanding in appearance, and Pei Aiqing can be called made in heaven, in order to become a beautiful woman, I hereby give marriage, the daughter of the king of Pi Xu to Pei Aiqing. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”

There was a long list of holy decrees, and the eunuch's thin voice seemed to be out of breath, and after the holy decree was recited, there was silence all around.

Pei Tan, who received the order, was unusual, and he knelt without it

The reaction is the same.

The white-faced eunuch waited for a while with a cold face, couldn't hold his breath, and began to stare at Pei Tan without smiling: "Pei Siqing, what's the matter, hurry up and thank you?" ”

Pei Tan seemed to have just reacted, and slowly raised his head, and the eunuch looked at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan lowered his eyes at this time, stretched out his hands to the top, and as soon as the eunuch's hand was loosened, the holy decree rolled down to Pei Tan's hand, and it seemed to be full of ridicule.

"Minister, long live Emperor Xie Wu." Pei Tan's cold voice sounded.

But the eunuch did not leave, and his eyes slanted to both sides. After a while, he said: Pei Siqing is not in Dali Temple, our family is looking for you here, but we have walked a lot of way in the sun..."

He blocked the door and didn't leave, and the kneeling servants of the Pei family didn't dare to get up.

Pei Tan said slowly at this time: "My father-in-law has worked hard to pass on the decree, and this little silver will buy tea for my father-in-law." “

As soon as the words fell, the servant next to him came back to his senses in shock, and hurriedly took the yellow and clear gold from Pei Tan's hand, lowered his head and carefully handed it to the eunuch.

The eunuch ripped off the flesh and skin, and since ancient times, he came to the door to report the good news, and the emperor's grace was vast, who didn't give a little color to report the good news?

"Our family congratulates Pei Siqing first, but not everyone has the opportunity to let His Majesty personally give marriage."

Leaving this unclear sentence, the eunuch left Pei's mansion.

Pei Tan held the holy decree and slowly got up from the ground. Only then did the servants of Pei Mansion dare to move, and they got up one after another.

Pei Tan's heart was obviously not as plain as he appeared, including the servants of Pei's Mansion around him, all of whom were pale.

The most shocking thing is the content of this decree.

Guangluqing's daughter, surnamed Li, these words are enough to make people's bones sober.

There was a servant's lips and teeth that seemed to be squeezed out of horror: "Guangluqing? That's not Prince Zhang Huai's..."

——

Half an hour later, Pei Tan appeared outside Dali Temple, in the green courtyard and deep courtyard, and the sun didn't seem to be able to shine into this piece of cold and deep meaning.

When the officials at the gate of Dali Temple saw the appearance of the adults who had not been seen for many days, they all showed a rare shock, and they all bowed their heads and saluted Pei Tan: "Great."

people..."

Pei Tan walked all the way to the courtyard, and in the courtyard, a girl in a green onion skirt was facing away from her, not noticing that someone was approaching.

Seeing this, Pei Tan stopped.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Jing Wan'er finally noticed movement and subconsciously turned around.

"Your Excellency?" The delicate and beautiful face was full of surprise, and there was a hint of surprise, "When will you... Coming? ”

Pei Tan stood still, he saw Jing Wan'er's red blood in one hand, and a pair of scissors in the other.

From Pei Tan's gaze, Jing Wan'er noticed something, and after a while, she seemed a little embarrassed, turned around and put down the scissors in her hand, only then did she carefully pick up something on the table, and turned to face Pei Tan again.

Pei Tan saw the faint fluttering of wings in his hands, and only then did he see that it seemed to be a bird.

Jing Wan'er looked down and smiled slowly: "In the morning, I found that this bird fell under the courtyard, as if its wings were injured. ”

There was still blood-stained gauze scattered on the stone table behind her, and she was bandaging the little bird just now.

Jing Wan'er carefully held the bird and placed it under the shade of the tree. After trying to recover, the birds will fly away on their own.

These hands can cut bones and save lives.

After taking care of the injured bird, Jing Wan'er turned her face again: "My lord is here at this time... Could it be that there is a case? "It's noon, the sun is very hot, Pei Tan is dressed neatly, as if he is very serious. mentioned that there was a case, and Miss Jing's expression was even more uncertain.

Pei Tan pushed open the door of his study, and the furnishings inside were the same as before.

He looked around.

Jing Wan'er followed him in from behind. The study is in the shade, and the room is cool, and the heat is very calm.

She vaguely saw something from Pei Tan's face.

"What's wrong with you, sir?"

Pei Tan said, "It's okay. ”

Pei Tan didn't want to say more, and Jing Wan'er didn't ask again. After a while, she looked at the desk, the study had no owner for days, and the teapot on the table had dried up.

It's noon, and no one will go out in the sun, but Pei Tan is still wearing a long shirt.

"Adults are thirsty, aren't they? Wan'er made a pot of tea for the adults. With that, the girl walked over to the desk and picked up the teapot on the table.

Jing Wan'er turned around and found that Pei Tan was looking at her, and she couldn't help but pause.

In fact, Pei Tan has not appeared in Dali Temple for so long, and it is obvious that the last case has had a deeper impact on him than imagined.

Seeing Jing Wan'er leaving the study with a teapot, Pei Tan slowly walked to the table, obviously someone cleaned the study for him every day, the table was clean and dust-free, and there was a quiet fragrance in the air.

It took about half an hour for Jing Wan'er to come back with a teapot.

The girl was dressed in a green dress, and her hands had just been washed, as if when she saw her, she saw a striking spring breeze.

The tea is poured into the cup, refreshing.

Pei Tan picked up the tea and shook it, looking at the small leaf that rotated on it, Jing Wan'er smiled slightly: "Wan'er looks at the hot flashes of adults, this mint leaf is cool and goes to the fire, and adults can taste it." ”

A small mint leaf is so magical.

Pei Tan tasted a few bites and found that Jing Wan'er looked at him: "Look what I do?" ”

Pei Tan has been resting at home for days, and there has been no case in Dali Temple recently, so Jing Wan'er is naturally guessing what can bother Pei Tan.

The girl smiled, "Do you stay in the temple to eat, or do you sit and leave?" ”

Since I can't figure it out, I just ask.

Pei Tan stared at the tea and said slowly: "Call Pei County." ”

Pei County's guards were left by Pei Tan to guard Dali Temple, and now Dali Temple is watching from all directions, how can you rest assured that there is no reliable person to guard.

Seeing this, Jing Wan'er knew a little in her heart, and she said, "Wan'er will call it." ”

Along with Pei County, there was another official of Dali Temple.

"My lord, I just sent a letter at the door, saying that I went to Pei's Mansion and didn't find Dali Temple, so I could only hand it to Dali Temple."

Didn't find it when I went to Pei's house? Pei Tan came out of the house on the front foot, and the person who delivered the letter didn't follow Pei Tan.

The post was packed in a wordless envelope, and the wax on the seal had not yet dried, a feeling that I didn't want to be seen by anyone who passed by.

Such a mysterious mystery, Jing Wan'er couldn't help blinking.

Pei Tan opened it and took out the letter inside, which is expensive from the outside

The kind of delicate invitation that is commonly used in the clansmen's family, and an orchid is embroidered on it.

Pei Tan looked at the content of the post and didn't speak, and from his expression, he really couldn't figure out what magic was written.

"Is the person who sent the post gone?" Pei Tan looked at the officer.

The official was stunned and said, "He said that he would like to wait for the adult to reply..."

Pei Tan folded the post, pondered for a moment and said: "You go to the door to take a look, if that person is still there, tell him, just say that the official has time to visit Guangluqing." ”

The servant nodded, and went out.

Jing Wan'er didn't miss this sentence, what made her care more was, Guang Luqing? This name made Jing Wan'er's heart jump immediately.

Pei Tan was in the house, pacing a few steps gently, for him, it was already a manifestation of his inner turmoil.

Don't talk about him, Jing Wan'er has a slight coolness.

Pei Guard looked at his son-in-law and said in a deep voice: "Why does Prince Zhang Huai's widow hand a post to his son?" ”

A sentence of Prince Zhang Huai's widow made people fall into silence.

Because Prince Zhang Huai is not the prince of Chaozhongzong.

This crown prince was the son of Gaozong and had long since died. The person who understands the bloody scene back then, and the only descendant he left behind is the "Guanglu Siqing" mentioned in the holy decree.

Guanglu Siqing is in charge of Guanglu Temple, and like Pei Tan's Dali Siqing, they are all ranked third. In terms of status, no one is higher than the other.

However, the official position may be the same, but the person who holds this position may not be able to.

"Prince Zhang Huai's widow." Jing Wan'er muttered.

At this time, Pei Tan looked at the two closest people in front of him, but he couldn't say anything.

In Chang'an City, I'm afraid no one wants to mention Prince Zhang Huai, saying that he is the prince, but he was forced to commit suicide and died tragically, among the three parents and children, the eldest son was killed, the youngest son died of illness, and only one son survived to this day.

Therefore, only this son will be called the "posthumous son" of Prince Zhang Huai.

This widowed son was exiled for more than ten years before being recalled to Chang'an.

is a nobleman, but his life is not as good as that of the grass people. Upside down, now

In such a person, he has a relationship with Pei Tan.
