Pei Tan stared at this person's eyes, and heard that if a person lies, his eyes will not be fake.

"How about letting him go." Pei Tan stared and said.

The officials were stunned, but the tied dead man suddenly became angry, "You might as well kill me!" ”

If the Dead Soldier fails in his mission, he can't return to his master, and from the moment he is caught, he has only one result left.

Pei Tan said lightly: "My Dali Temple will not careless of human life. ”

Dali Temple is convicted of capital crimes, and the three divisions must be tried, reported to the Criminal Department, and filed for investigation.

Pei Tan left prison, didn't he really want to release people, and let a killer out, wouldn't it be a scourge to the people.

And not long after, this dead man no longer has to worry about him, people want to die is not only the way to swallow poison.

"My lord, he's on a hunger strike." If you don't eat or drink, you can only last a few days at most.

Pei Tan said: "Let him go." ”

Dali Temple will not careless of human life, but a wicked person wants to die, and he has no reason to stop it.

In the middle hall of Wenxi Inn, two black-and-white-faced actors are singing a play "Big Noodles".

In the past two days, there have been many fewer guests in the inn, and even the boss feels strange and puzzled, and it is close to the exam, which has never happened in previous years.

An old man with a cold face sat at an inconspicuous table in the corner, staring at the scenes on the stage. His hands were beating to the tune.

There was a man dressed as a guy next to him, his eyes turned, and he slowly approached: "Lord Shangshu, what you ordered, those people have already taken the money and left Chang'an, and there is only one ...... It's not easy. ”

Zong Chuke had no words.

The guy lowered his head and pretended to pour tea, and said: "That person is the son of the Xue family in the household, and asked him to write a few articles, saying that it is no problem to enter the top three, but unfortunately that person is not very obedient." ”

Zong Chuke said quietly: "Why are you disobedient?" ”

The guy said, "The Xue family paid the price, but that person must go to the test by himself." Quite ignorant of lifting. ”

Zong Chuke stared at the drama on the stage, "Then let him play by himself, there are many candidates in Chang'an City, and there are always obedient ones." "Ten years of cold window, whether you can be admitted or not is completely gambling, it is better to take a sum of money to return to your hometown, and it can be regarded as returning to your hometown. Most candidates from poor backgrounds will make such a choice, but it is difficult to guarantee that there are no hard stones.

The guy bowed his head: "But...... The article was said to have been seen by Lord Wei Xiang and was quite satisfied. Intentionally hand-picked in front of His Majesty......"

The meaning of this is different, Zong Chuke's hand beating on the table suddenly stopped.

"Then dispose of it." His voice was cold.

The man's face was gloomy, "Now there is a trouble, yesterday in Dali Temple, Pei Tan broke off our three dead soldiers, and the body surnamed Fan is still in Dali Temple." ”

Zong Chuke's expression was calm: "So what? ”

The man bowed his head: "The people of the Xue family are worried that if they do it at this time, it will cause ...... A lot of trouble. ”

Zong Chuke looked at the guy, "Now the people with the five surnames and seven sects are starting to be afraid of a three-grade Siqing?" Is it that in time you will all have to kneel before the shaft and listen to his change? ”

The man's face changed, he lowered his head and didn't speak, and sure enough, as soon as Pei Tan was mentioned, Zong Shangshu would become different.

Zong Chuke said: "There is a palace test after the big exam, tell the Xue family that if they can't start, there are still many families waiting in line behind." He took the wine he had and drank it down.

The man silently left the table.

After the end of the day, the number of guests gradually decreased, and the big opera on the stage finally dispersed.

Jing Wan'er walked into the study and found it empty, so she couldn't help but say to the guards guarding the door: "What about my lord?" ”

Pei Guard looked at her: "My lord has entered the palace." ”

Jing Wan'er was slightly surprised.

In the past few days, so many things have happened in Dali Temple, first of all, they are all dead, and there are unidentified people in the yamen, perhaps, Pei Tan should have taken time to enter the palace a long time ago.

After thinking about it, Jing Wan'er fell silent.

She looked at the oil lamp on the table, couldn't help but turn it, and the door of the secret room opened, "I'll go see Miss Lin." ”

Walking along the dim corridor to Lin Jingjing's bed, Jing Wan'er opened Lin Jingjing's wound, the festering knife wound was no longer oozing blood, but it was still terrifying.

"Miss Lin, when will you wake up?" Jing Wan'er couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Lin Jingjing, she couldn't help covering her arm, and the wound on her arm was also aching.

Lin Jingjing, who was on the bed, suddenly snorted.

Jing Wan'er's hand couldn't help but stop, and then looked at the pale face, "Miss Lin? ”

The whites of Lin Jingjing's eyes occasionally showed for a moment, as if she was about to wake up, and the whole person twitched. Jing Wan'er was surprised.

Seeing that Pei Guard flashed out of the secret passage, Jing Wan'er couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Miss Lin?" ”

Seeing that Pei Guard stretched out his hand and cut Lin Jingjing's vein, he said with a calm face: "Her muscles and veins are blocked, and her blood is blocked." ”

Blocked? Jing Wan'er's face turned slightly pale: "Do you want to ask for a doctor?" ”

Pei Guard helped Lin Jingjing up and glanced at Jing Wan'er: "You go out and wait." ”

Jing Wan'er bit her lower lip and could only withdraw first.

I really can't imagine that the house leak is windy and rainy, if something happens to Lin Jingjing at this time, then Dali Temple is really unlucky.

She retreated to Pei Tan's study, glanced at it, and saw the article spread out on the table.

That was taken back from Fan Wenjun's room at Wenxi Inn. Unexpectedly, Pei Tan has been reading this article.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but look at this article, the first time she saw the owner of this article, it was already an unrecognizable corpse, she had spent several hours in a coffin with him, speaking of it, it seemed to be a cold fate in the world.

Jing Wan'er used to be Jing's daughter, and she naturally learned words, and Fan Wenjun's essays are all Juan Xiu Xiaokai, full of wonderful pen Danqing.

can make a beautiful woman like Lin Jingjing fall in love regardless of her background, Fan Wenjun is by no means an ordinary poor scholar.

"What are you looking at?" Unexpectedly, a gentle voice made Jing Wan'er startled.

She looked at the man who appeared at the door, dressed in a three-grade court suit, wearing Pei Tan, who was like a formidable "adult" at the moment.

"My lord......" Jing Wan'er stared at Pei Tan and said in surprise, "You have come back from the palace?" ”

Pei Tan put the black gauze hat in his hand on the shelf and walked in. He saw that the oil lamp on the table had changed position, and his eyes moved: "You have entered the secret passage?" How is Lin Jingjing? ”

Jing Wan'er subconsciously said: "Guard Pei is inside." Miss Lin was a little wrong just now......"

Pei Tan looked at her, the girl's face was a little unnatural, and she lowered her head slightly and asked, "Have you told Your Majesty about Dali Temple?" ”

Pei Tan said lightly: "I didn't see Your Majesty. ”

Jing Wan'er was surprised, "Didn't see Your Majesty?" ”

Pei Tan entered the palace obviously to find Zhongzong, but how could he not see it?

Pei Tan shook his head: "I'll talk about this later, come with me to see Lin Jingjing." ”

The door of the secret room was opened again, and Jing Wan'er said uncomfortably, "Guard Pei asked me to wait outside." ”

Pei Tan glanced at her: "It doesn't matter. ”

The two walked in and saw Pei Guard sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes to give Lin Jingjing true luck.

Pei Tan didn't say anything beside him.

After a while, Pei Guard opened his eyes and saw Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er beside the bed.

"Childe." Pei's guards came down from the bedside.

Pei Tan asked, "How are the people?" ”

Guard Pei had no expression on his face, "It should be okay for the time being, if she survives tonight." ”

This is obviously not good news, Jing Wan'er looked worried.

Pei Weiwei frowned slightly: "The matter of the son's entry into the palace?" "Pei talked about the palace that had been advancing for an hour, and it was too fast to come back at the moment.

Pei Tan finally said, "Someone in the palace stopped me. ”

Jing Wan'er's expression moved, and she couldn't help but look at Pei Tan. If she remembers correctly, Pei Tan has the gold medal given by Zhongzong in her hand, and she can go directly to Zhongzong's Zichen Hall to meet her without notifying.

How could anyone stop it?

This is a secret room, don't worry about the rumors, Pei Tan said slowly: "The queen mother is guarding the Zichen Palace. ”

The two on the other side both had different colors on their faces.

Empress Wei?

"Empress Wei said that Your Majesty occasionally felt cold the day before yesterday, and her body was sick, and she had not seen the minister for several days."

If the queen is in Zichen Hall in person, then Pei Tan will naturally not be able to see Zhongzong even if he has more gold medals.

Jing Wan'er was silent for a moment: "Don't you think it's all too coincidental?" ”

I still remember that in the case of Zonghuo, Pei Tan and Dali Temple were able to directly overwhelm Shangshufu, and it was because of this emperor. The so-called imperial power is above everything.

But how could it be so coincidental that in the eventful autumn of Dali Temple, Zhongzong also happened to be "sick". Is it really sick, or is it a rumor deliberately released by someone with a heart.

Pei Tan took off his official uniform and took out his regular clothes from the wardrobe to change them into.

"The current emperor and queen are deeply affectionate, no matter how outsiders put their beaks, it will not affect the contact between the emperor and the queen." Pei Tan turned around, and just about to tie his belt, he saw the girl coming over, holding the belt with her bare hands, and naturally tied a slipknot.

In fact, the so-called relationship between the emperor and the queen has long been not a simple relationship between men and women. His Majesty has been down for more than ten years, and Empress Wei has been by his side, and Zhongzong's smooth accession to the throne is the plan of the Wei family.

The most complicated thing in the world is this kind of relationship mixed with emotions, calculations, and interests.

Pei Guard's voice said quietly at this time: "Didn't Gongzi say that the three officials of unknown origin were appointed by the Criminal Department, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was the descendant and nephew of Empress Wei's mother. ”

Jing Wan'er's hand paused and raised her eyebrows.

Last time, they were just facing a Shangshu Mansion, but this time, even the queen and the prime minister were involved?

"Maybe it's not the queen mother who is blocking it, but Your Majesty, who avoids the adults." The girl's eyebrows and eyes were a little clear, "Just like when dealing with Zong Huo, His Majesty only gave the adult the word 'expediency'." "It's to deal with Zong Huo privately, and you don't have to go to the court.

If even the queen has something to do with this time, as Your Majesty, you will protect the pillow person first, right?

"From now on," Jing Wan'er's eyes were a little soft, "maybe the adults are fighting alone?" ”

These words really seemed to be a little cold in the room, Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er s eyes, and I don't know if it was the first time that he was silent for such a sharp edge.
