The corners of Shen Xingwen's mouth were playful, and his eyes were a little cold.

Pei Tan asked him lightly: "Are you Shen Xingwen the kind of person who spares his life?" ”

Shen Xingwen is unruly, and his identity as a concubine can't suppress him, and if he is given a chance, he will turn against the Shen family. Judging from what he did, he was so bold that he didn't care about life and death, and being afraid of death was not Shen Xingwen's reason at all.

Shen Xingwen was a little cold, people like him just didn't want to be manipulated casually by others.

Therefore, Pei Tan said: "Everything in this world can be regarded as an exchange, just depending on whether you think it is worth it." ”

Shen Xingwen looked at Pei Tan's eyes, and there was a little more ridicule, "So... Did the adult admit that he was using his official position to buy Shen? ”

Pei Tan stared at him and said for a moment: "You are willing to sink into the work, just because your mother has passed away, and you have no attachment." But always be a puppet, no matter how much you check, you can't achieve your goal

Target. Although the Shen family can't be compared with a family like the Seven Sects and Five Surnames, there are also several children of the Shen family who are officials in Chang'an, and it is impossible for you to confront them alone. ”

Shen Xingwen looked at Pei Tan silently. When it comes to his deceased mother, he can no longer maintain a standoff.

Pei Tan hit the nail on the head: "The reason why you are in such a situation is what you said, because you are a concubine, and you are talented and talented and suppressed by your jealous brother, and you can't get out at all." In this case, what harm does it do to you to become a Dali Temple? ”

It's a six-grade product, and for Shen Xingwen, who has been suppressed, it's like jumping into the dragon gate.

Shen Xingwen's eyes were gloomy, and he said for a while: "Will adults really believe me?" ”

If you can't really trust, what's the point of calculating each other, Shen Xingwen has long been disgusted with those scheming clansmen in the family.

Pei Tan said lightly: "As an official, there has always been a big taboo, that is, to use suspicious people. If you accept Dali Temple, I will naturally

will not be suspicious of your employment. ”

Shen Xingwen's face shook slightly, you must know that it is easy to say that there is no doubt about employing people, but how can anyone really do it. People's hearts are complicated, especially when there is already a crack between him and Pei Tan.

Pei Tan's eyes were bottomless: "And the Liupin Temple is just a condition for me to let you cooperate in handling the case, after all, it is only a ninth grade, and Dali Temple is already the limit of what you can be promoted now." ”

This is still an exception in the case of Pei Tan's recommendation and Zhongzong's concession.

Shen Xingwen heard that Pei Tan still had an off-string sound, and it was precisely because he heard it that he looked at Pei Tan with a little disbelief.

Pei Tan then said: "So, if you can play a key role in this case, as long as this case can be successfully solved in the end, I will directly ask Your Majesty for an order and recommend you to do... Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”

Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Shen Xingwen stared at Pei Tan in complete disbelief, Dali Temple

Now in addition to Pei Tan, this Zhengqing, there are vacancies such as Si Cheng and Shaoqing. But Dali Temple Shaoqing? Four products? Shen Xingwen only knew the descendants of the Shen family, and the highest official position in the main house was only three grades.

Shen Xingwen stared at Pei Tan, wondering if the man in front of him was joking with him.

"The case of Prince Zhang Huai is related to the dignity of today's royal family, and His Majesty personally gave the secret decree, of course, he values this case. If you can solve the case and welcome Prince Zhanghuai's coffin back to Chang'an, such a feat is enough for His Majesty to issue an order and promote you to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”

As long as the Sacred Heart is happy, there is nothing that cannot be done by a holy decree. Don't say that Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a higher position, as long as Zhongzong has a heart, what can't be given.

Pei Tan is directly promoted from a son to a third-grade Dali Zhengqing.

Shen Xingwen stared at Pei Tan: "Are these words serious, adults?" ”

For Pei Tan, recommending a person to Zhongzong is indeed light

Easy task. But for a family concubine, his career was taken away and his mother died, this is likely to be an opportunity to change the fate of Shen Xingwen's life.

Pei Tan looked at him: "What I can give you is just a chance, whether you can hold this opportunity depends on your own ability." ”

Shen Xingwen had a calm face.

There aren't many opportunities in this world that are fair enough for you to fight for your abilities, and most of the time you are choked to death before you even have time to do it.

So this kind of fair opportunity is almost no one can say give up and give up.

"You can get back to me when you're ready."

Pei Tan still has a file on his desk that he hasn't had time to read, and no one in Dali Temple has such a heavy mind as Shen Xingwen, but in the same way, once Shen Xingwen can be obedient, the help he brings to Pei Tan is much more useful than anyone else.

Shen Xingwen said word for word: "No need. Whatever the adults need me to do, just tell me. ”

Pei Tan walked to the front of the case, picked up the files, and shook them in his hand

Huang Huang: "After reading these old case files tonight, Prince Zhang Huai's case is widely implicated, and most of the royal magnates are still in Chang'an, summarize the case first, tell me what you think, in a few days... It's time to seal your Dali Temple's will. ”

Shen Xingwen looked at Pei Tan and took over the file.

If Shen Xingwen wants to read all the files before he arrives tomorrow, it means that he doesn't have to sleep this night. also has to summarize Pei Tan's thoughts on the case, this first hurdle is not easy to pass.

Shen Xingwen didn't say anything, and left Pei Tan's study directly with the case file.

He had been in the cold for ten years, and he regarded reading as a way out, and when his mother died, he burned all his pen and ink, and he was useless as a scholar, and he didn't expect that one day he would be able to refine his pen and ink into a hurtful sword.

Jing Wan'er saw Shen Xingwen coming out of Pei Tan's study, and knew from his look that Pei Tan had succeeded.

The corners of her lips curled, "Congratulations, sir." ”

If Shen Xingwen can be used, not only the case in front of him,

In the future, it will be a help to Dali Temple and Pei Tan.

"If you want to investigate the case of Prince Zhang Huai, you must know who was involved back then. Although in the eyes of many people, it was Prince Zhang Huai who fell out of favor with the queen of heaven and threatened the status of the queen of heaven, so he was exiled by the queen of heaven and finally committed suicide. But I don't believe there is any unwarranted suspicion in the world. ”

Someone contributed to these step by step, perhaps the people who were jealous of Prince Zhang Huai, and the cool officials, these people together contributed to the death of a generation of princes.

Zhongzong wanted to welcome Prince Zhanghuai's coffin back to Chang'an, so naturally he not only overturned the case, but also killed all the original people in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Pei Tan's eyes flashed with a faint look: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, in such a chaotic situation, even if you are the prince, it is difficult to protect yourself." ”

Jing Wan'er's lips moved, and she slowly fell silent.

Even if you are the crown prince, it is difficult to protect yourself, Jing Wan'er's family is not even an ant compared to the prince of a country, and the family business has always been

The stalk is in Jing Wan'er's heart, the stinger that can't be entered and pulled out.

Sooner or later, it will take root, and when that day comes, it may kill her,... It also kills others who have touched the thorn.

"Wan'er said goodbye first." Jing Wan'er didn't look at Pei Tan, turned around and walked out of the study.

Pei Tan was behind him, his eyes were gloomy.

Pei Tan rested in the study at night, he simply laid a mattress here, it was hot before, but now it is cold, he still did not ask someone to add a quilt.

Dali Temple did not need to hear the case, and no one came to wake up Pei Tan, so Pei Tan slept until nearly noon the next day.

He felt that something was wrong, so he frowned.

The officer at the door heard the command and came in: "Your Excellency is up?" ”

Pei Tan asked, "What time is it?" ”

The messenger said, "It's time... Before dawn, Shen Qizuo was waiting outside the adult's door. ”

Pei Tan's eyes deepened: "Call him in." ”

Shen Xingwen stepped into the door.

It was still a long robe, and the corners of the robe were stained with the morning dew.

"You didn't come home last night?" Pei Tan looked at him.

Shen Xingwen's face was pale: "My subordinates have been reading the files in an empty room in the temple last night. ”

Pei Tan's eyes narrowed slightly: "You've finished reading it?" ”

There are so many case files, and there are many details in them, so it is difficult to sort them out.

Shen Xingwen looked at him: "There are six case files in total, a statement, and my subordinates have read it word for word." ”

Pei Tan walked to the bookcase after a long time, and said slowly: "Okay, you can talk about it." ”

Shen Xingwen's face was expressionless: "My lord, let me tell my opinion on this case, Shen can't say such a thing." ”

Pei Tan's eyes were deep and he looked at Shen Xingwen: "You are waiting here early in the morning, what do you want to say?" ”

Shen Xingwen had a coldness in his eyes: "Your Majesty is asking the adults to solve this case, compared with the cases that the adults have solved before, this Zhang Huaitai."

The clues of the sub-case are extremely simple. ”

Pei Tan looked at him: "Do you think it's so simple?" ”

Shen Xingwen also looked at Pei Tan: "This case has never been complicated, but it has only been more than ten years, and you can find people who were alive in Chang'an City, find a few old people around Prince Zhang Huai and the Queen of Heaven, and interrogate them a few times, even if you can't completely restore the year, at least it is definitely enough to solve the case for the adult." ”

Solving the case is nothing more than finding evidence and finding witnesses, this case has all the two, what else is there to worry about.

Moreover, it is so simple, how could Pei Tan not think of it.

Pei Tan looked at him and didn't speak.

Shen Xingwen's eyes suddenly darkened, he just stared at Pei Tan like this, and for a while: "If you solve the case like this, I'm afraid your adult won't choose it, right?" ”

Yes, I just want to commit a crime for Prince Zhang Huai, what's so difficult, Zhongzong can send Prince Zhang Huai's coffin back to Chang'an from Bazhou with a holy decree.

However, it was so simple, but Zhongzong and Pei Tan didn't do it

This.

"Go on." Pei Tan's voice was faint.

Shen Xingwen's figure under the wide sleeve robe is actually skinny: "During the years of the reign of the Queen of Heaven, the blood stained by the Tang Dynasty has not been washed away now. But no matter what, she is also the 'Great Holy Empress of Zetian' now. ”

The queen of heaven died, Zhongzong was reinstated, and the bloody rain of the Tang Dynasty never stopped.

Shen Xingwen's voice was as gloomy as a prison: "In your majesty's heart today, how much resentment you have against your mother and how much you remember your former brother, that can only be in your heart. Even if there is no longer the obstruction of the former queen of heaven now, if he is desperate to welcome back Prince Zhang Huai and vent this resentment to the whole world, then His Majesty will not only have to bear the world's accusations of filial piety to him, but also as a monarch of the current dynasty, but he has always lived in the lingering shadow of the previous dynasty and the repeated gloom! ”
