Chapter 115: Rumors are fiercer than tigers

Jing Wan'er knew that the Jing family was just a nobody, and no one in Chang'an would stand up for the Jing family. But what she thought was the most impossible thing happened today.

"Stay in Dali Temple, and you will have the day to see your loved ones again." Pei Tan's voice was as gentle as his gaze.

Jing Wan'er stood in the courtyard and took a deep breath for a long time. For anyone, loved ones are a weakness. The strength that has always been pretended to be has also been broken.

——

At the gate of Dali Temple, Shen Xingwen walked to the carriage and swept his gaze over the corner of the street, where there were two ragged beggars, lying under the wall to bask in the sun.

He sneered in his heart, raised his feet, and stepped into the carriage in front of him.

The official guarding the carriage asked in a low voice, "Shen Sicheng, where are we going?" ”

Shen Xingwen sat in the carriage, ordered the curtain to be lowered, and said coldly for a moment

"Walk around the East Market." ”

The new official took office three fires, and the official swallowed his inner muttering and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage. The vehicle started slowly and left the streets and alleys of Dali Temple.

The "beggar", who was originally sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, and the two exchanged glances: "Keep up." ”

They have been guarding these days, Pei Tan has not appeared, only Shen Xingwen finally appeared, of course they have to follow this only "breakthrough".

These people wanted to know where Shen Xingwen went, so they naturally didn't dare to follow him lazily. And there is a large area of land in the East City. There are twenty-six streets and alleys and houses, and it takes at least two hours for the carriage to go around. Shen Xingwen didn't get out of the car, so he sat in the carriage and ordered people to go around the East Market, one by one.

The person who was following him behind him was so dizzy that he went around in circles, and actually went around until the sun went down.

Even a stupid donkey knew that something was wrong, and the person who was following him didn't have a carriage to enjoy, and he collapsed under the scorching sun: "No, this Shen Xingwen did it on purpose." ”

They followed them all the way, and they had to take care of hiding their tracks, which was more painful than killing them.

"If you let your adults know that we can't even look down on the Shen family, you will definitely be disappointed in us."

The man gritted his teeth: "Keep following, unless he walks around this Chang'an Avenue for the rest of his life, otherwise, as long as he does things for Pei Tan, we can catch his handle." ”

Inside the carriage, Shen Xingwen put down the case file that he had read for a day, and glanced at it slightly, "Go back to Dali Temple." ”

It's also fun to walk the dog like this, and walk those people for a day.

In the past, around Dali Temple, there has never been any beggar begging, Dali Temple such a place, who dares to pass by casually, since there are no passers-by, beggars here, what can they get?

This is the so-called "professional" spies raised in the big family, but they haven't even figured out the basic market sentiments, and those "seamless" disguises made Shen Xingwen sneer in his heart.

Zong Chuke looked at the trembling servant who came to return to him, and raised his face

The cup in front of him slowly approached his lips: "Have you seen Niangniang, what did Niangniang say?" ”

The servant lowered his head, and his voice trembled a little: "Niangniang said that she would accompany His Majesty to visit the garden, so I didn't have time to summon my lordship..."

Zong Chuke handed over the sign early in the morning, and entered the palace to see Empress Wei. Since ancient times, there has never been a concubine who can meet with foreign ministers at will, and men and women are on great defense, but Zong Chuke can directly hand over a sign into the harem, obviously this is not the first time that such a thing has happened.

The servant stubbornly said: "Niangniang asked the palace maid to pass the word, saying that Your Majesty has the heart to reorganize the dynasty, which is a good thing, which shows that Your Majesty is a sage and a wise man, and this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty." … As courtiers, you should support Your Majesty and do not cause trouble to Your Majesty. ”

Zong Chuke stared at him, "What else?" ”

The servant lay on the ground and knelt on the ground: "So there are some things, don't bother Your Majesty one by one, as a courtier, you should take the initiative to worry about the king, this is your duty." ”

If the previous sentence sounds like nothing, this sentence can imply obvious meaning.

A gloom crossed Zong Chuke's eyes.

What do you do to share your Majesty's worries? Even if it is wrong, it can be justified that it is because of His Majesty's concern that he will not be overlooked for a while. It's a seamless reason for that.

Rectify the dynasty, overturn the case for Prince Zhang Huai, and help rehabilitate the people of the year. The people of Chang'an are all paying attention to this action of our majesty.

Zong Chuke shook his cup: "It has been several days since the marriage decree was issued, but is it too calm in the city?" ”

Historically, any bit of wind and grass in Chang'an City has been like a stone thrown into the middle of the lake that will cause waves. Such a major event as marriage is still between the two temples of Dali Temple and Guanglu Temple, and there is almost no reason for it to be so almost undisturbed.

"According to our people, Guanglu Siqing handed over a post, but Pei Tan didn't respond."

This is not to take the marriage of the royal gift into account.

Zong Chuke's eyes were gloomy: "Use silver to buy the beggars in the eighteenth streets and alleys of Chang'an, let them spread the news within a day, and let everyone know about the whole Chang'an." ”

These local snakes in the streets and alleys are the ears and eyes of Chang'an City.

"He didn't want people to know, so Ben Shangshu helped him."

The servant rat's eyes shone brightly: "Lord Shangshu is really wise..."

Even in less than a day, Chang'an has already had pervasive discussions in restaurants and teahouses.

Zi Chan'er stared at a table of guests who were talking in front of her, and slowly said to her husband Wen Lang beside her, "Write a letter immediately and tell Miss Jing." ”

In the past, when they sent letters, they would avoid it, and they could only use carrier pigeons to send messages.

But carrier pigeons are not safe after all, in case they are shot down by a passer-by, and then they crack the code word, they can cause death at any time.

Until Jing Wan'er said that any letter could be sent directly to Dali Temple in an open and honest manner.

They did it, despite their disbelief.

Sure enough, after the first two letters arrived, nothing changed. They were surprised

In the middle, I only gradually reassured.

The official at the door glanced at the messenger, and sure enough, without asking a word, he took the letter and entered the courtyard.

The messenger walked directly to the inner courtyard, "Miss Jing, someone has delivered your letter at the door." ”

Jing Wan'er looked at the letter handed over: "Thank you for this big brother." ”

The officer put down the letter and left, his face blank the whole time.

Jing Wan'er picked up the letter from the table, Pei Tan would never open Jing Wan'er's letter privately, and the other people in Dali Temple would not and did not dare to interfere at all.

Shen Xingwen, who had to take a carriage to the city every day to "walk", soon heard the sound of high-minded talk outside the car.

He asked coldly, "What are you talking about outside?" ”

The outside is saying: "Guanglu Siqing is His Majesty's own nephew, and his daughter is His Majesty's niece, this Pei Tan is married to the royal county lord?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is really reusing Dali Temple..."

Li Shouli, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, is the son of Prince Zhang Huai, as the granddaughter of the former prince, and is a veritable lord of the Tang Dynasty.

Shen Xingwen heard enough, and said lightly: "Go back to Dali Temple." ”

The coachman was a little surprised: "I just took a turn today..."

The carriage still went back to Dali Temple, and Shen Xingwen walked in and went to the study.

Jing Wan'er lowered her head and was grinding for Pei Tan, and heard Shen Xingwen standing in the room, with a light smile in her eyes.

He said: "Shen thinks that why does the adult attach so much importance to this case, it turns out that it is to please the future father-in-law? ”

Pei Tan slowly raised his head, and Jing Wan'er also stopped moving and looked at Shen Xingwen.

She suddenly understood what Shen Xingwen was talking about.

Pei Tan closed the book in his hand and asked lightly, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Xingwen narrowed his eyes: "Now it is rumored all over the street that Your Majesty has given marriage to Dali Temple and Guanglu Temple, and your Excellency is now the most high-profile person in Chang'an." ”

There was silence in the study for a while, and Jing Wan'er slowly moved her gaze to Pei Tan's face.

Pei Tan didn't speak for a long time for the first time, and the ridicule at the corner of Shen Xingwen's mouth deepened.

"In the future, my lord, it will be the Tang County horse, congratulations."

Jing Wan'er suddenly lowered her head and smiled, and said to Shen Xingwen: "Listening to Shen Sicheng's meaning, is it doubting that adults will be partial to this case?" ”

Shen Xingwen's eyes were gloomy, staring at Jing Wan'er: "Shen didn't say that. ”

Jing Wan'er said: "Is that adult a Tang County horse, and what does it have to do with this case." Or what does Shen Sicheng want to express? ”

Shen Xingwen stared at Jing Wan'er's face, and it was rare that he didn't say anything.

"No matter what the reason is, it is the duty of Dali Temple to investigate the case and solve the case." Jing Wan'er lowered her head and grinded again, her voice faint, "To perform your duties, you don't need to investigate the reason at all, and adults have always done this." It's Shen Sicheng, and the days of coming to Dali Temple are not short, don't you still know adults? ”

Shen Xingwen was silent for a long time, hooked his lips and smiled, "It's still Miss Jing's teeth."

Sharp teeth, Shen is ashamed of himself. ”

Jing Wan'er's face was flat: "The adults read the files day and night to investigate the case, and now they only use a reason to give marriage to make the hard work of the adults for days go to waste, it can be seen that the rumors are fiercer than the tiger, and they are indeed not ordinary." ”

Shen Xingwen was speechless at this time, and faintly reprimanded him for not having the heart to solve the case.

"Shen lost his words, please don't blame you." Shen Xingwen said solemnly.

Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan: "Even Shen Sicheng thought this way at first, my lord, it seems that there are not many people in Chang'an City who have this idea." ”

Jing Wan'er's words naturally contained a mystery, and Shen Xingwen immediately put away his expression.

Jing Wan'er is also right: "The adult has only been involved in the case for a few days, and some people can't help but want to get in the way." Pei Tan has worked so hard to build up a reputation for detectives, how easy it is to ruin a person, and rumors can break all the painstaking loneliness overnight.

Could it be because of Chang'an City, someone shouted a few words of "Pei Qingtian"?

There are also those words of "analogy to Di Gong" in the streets and alleys, and someone wants to pull Pei Tan down from the sky, and they are all looking forward to seeing Pei Tan fall.

Shen Xingwen's expression sank completely, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Do you need to check the source?" ”

No one dares to talk nonsense about the royal marriage, so many people on the street talk about it, so the marriage must be true. It's just that Pei Tan has not mentioned it since he returned to Dali Temple.
