Pei Tan looked at the woman's obscure expression, obviously the unbearable past was still precipitated in her heart.

He said to the woman: "The environment in Lingnan is harsh, and now no Chang'an people are willing to go there to live, if you are from Lingnan, one thing is certain, that is, no one will really find out whether they are really Lingnan people." ”

Just like the cold tower where the Jing clan was exiled, Lingnan is also the place of exile with the most prisoners, so there are not many people who are willing to live in such a bad place all the time.

The woman stared at Pei Tan, and the expression in her eyes was no longer as soft as just now, "...... Whether the folk women are really Lingnan people or not, does it have anything to do with adults? ”

Checking the household registration is not what Dali Temple should do, even if someone fakes Lai in Chang'an, how big a deal it is. Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, and every year people who try their best to survive in Chang'an are really afraid of finding inexhaustible.

Therefore the woman's eyes were full of doubt.

Pei Tan looked at the woman: "Madame is right, Pei doesn't care if Madame is really a Lingnan person." Saying these ......, I just want to ask Mrs. a question, before Zichan'er's impersonated identity, who is Mrs.'s real identity? ”

The woman stared at Pei Tan, and the more she looked at each other like this, the more she could see the ...... in the woman's eyes That hint of unease.

Pei Xian didn't know what his son-in-law was going to do at this time, but he just stood next to him, looking even more stunned than the woman.

But the woman didn't say anything, she didn't seem to intend to say another word except looking at Pei Tan.

For such a result, Pei Tan seemed to have expected it, he slowly put his hands behind his back, and said with a faint gaze: "From the moment Mrs. stood in this hall, from the demeanor of Mrs., Pei knew that Mrs. was by no means an ordinary person. Madame's demeanor also shows that Madame has already been trained, and there is only one woman in the world who comes out of the world, and there will be such a deep-rooted etiquette in her, even after five years of ordinary life, it is impossible to disappear. That is—people who have been bound by the rules of the palace. ”

When Pei Tan talked about the palace rules, everyone noticed the woman's sudden fluttering expression, and then her lips moved, but she closed it later than before.

The woman seemed to be gritting her teeth, refusing to say a word about Pei Tan's statement.

But sometimes not revealing it is already the biggest flaw.

Pei Tan looked at the woman's gaze with a hint of understanding.

Self-control, and death will not tell the secret.

It is a woman who once lived in the palace, but escaped.

After a long time, the woman let go of her hands, and a smile appeared on her face: "Please forgive the people's wife, I really don't understand what the adults said." ”

Pei Tan looked at her, and he could still see the coldness of being driven by slavery in those years from the woman's face. Because of this, he didn't intend to really persecute this woman.

Pei Tan said faintly: "You can go." ”

The woman's expression moved, obviously as if she didn't believe it, and looked up at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan asked Master Xing to find this woman and bring it to Dali Temple, in fact, it was just to confirm an idea, the moment he saw the woman, he had already concluded that she was the palace maid in the palace before, just like the palace maid who appeared at the Su family's wedding banquet.

And these women all bear the indelible imprint of the palace.

The woman's expression finally relaxed: "Your Excellency, ......"

Pei Tan looked at her and asked the last sentence: "If you ask who the person you helped you do all this is, you will definitely not want to say." ”

gave the woman a second life, and even made her the proprietress of a restaurant today, the person who intervened behind it can be said to have recreated the woman's kindness.

As for the woman, it was naturally impossible to name the benefactor who had changed her life.

Sure enough, the woman's lips moved, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Pei Tan didn't ask again, but kept his promise, called Master Xing, and asked him to send the woman back the same way.

Pei Xian finally couldn't help it: "Son, why are there so many palace maids fleeing outside Chang'an City all of a sudden?" ”

The palace maid, who was originally the lowest and least noticeable, even if she could be seen everywhere in the palace, once she appeared on this Chang'an Avenue, it was extremely shocking and extremely unknown.

Before escorting the prisoners into prison, the officials of Dali Temple were bound to take them all over the inner perimeter of Dali Temple, and it was at that time that Zichan'er remembered the terrain structure of Dali Temple, and also told the girl in the palace with a flying pigeon.

Pei Tan already understood the joints, and naturally knew that the palace maids hidden in Chang'an City had more than these two people.

Thinking of Jing Wan'er's way to transport these palace goddesses out of the palace unknowingly, Pei Tan felt a deep chill, Jing Wan'er was still a real immature girl five years ago, and since that time, she has been doing such things, and even she must have made a deal with every palace maid she rescued from the palace, otherwise these palace maids would not have kept in touch with her until today.

Pei Tan had said before that even if he was a man, he would not have such a scheming city at that age, thinking of what would happen many years later. But Jing Wan'er did it completely, and she did it so meticulously.

No palace maid would betray Jing Wan'er, this is the most terrifying.

A small handyman room collects the corpse of the palace maid, but silently grasps the news of almost the entire Chang'an City.

Pei Tan remembered that when he secretly reported the case to Zhongzong before, Zhongzong said: "Even if Zong Chuke deceived me, the act of cutting off the human skin of the daughter of the Jing family is also a capital crime. ”

Just cutting off the skin of the corpse is already a capital crime of bullying the king, and if the matter of the palace maid in Chang'an City is exposed, Jing Wan'er will die without a place to be buried.

——

In the Shangshu Mansion, the mage finished the rituals, took a generous reward of silver, and left the Shangshu Mansion satisfied.

The staff who had stayed in Zong Chuke's study before reappeared in the study again, "My lord, please see what this is." ”

It was a customs clearance document that had been negotiated in advance, and it was stamped with the big seal of the Governor's Mansion.

Fengche Duwei, a petty official from the end of the five grades, has nothing to do with the five surnames of the seven sects.

Zong Chuke stared at the master, stretched out his hand and slowly took the customs clearance document.

"My lord, after nightfall, you can send your son away. Avoid long nights and dreams. The staff's eyes flashed with shrewdness.

Zong Chuke read every word on the customs clearance document. Fengche Duwei, this kind of insignificant person can't get into the eyes of the guards of Chang'an City Gate at all.

It's just that the customs clearance documents they issued were just enough to let the lowest-level Hu merchants in and out.

Zong Chuke slowly crumpled the customs clearance document in his hand until it was crumpled into a ball.

The staff's eyes flashed: "My lord? ”

Zong Chuke didn't say anything, and in his heart, he obviously couldn't make up his mind about sending Zong Huo away at this time.

But Zong Huo couldn't wait.

"The one who was chosen...... Is it reliable? Zong Chuke's face was expressionless.

The staff once again showed that kind of sinister smile on their faces: "Don't worry, my lord, the villain is willing to guarantee with his head, and the son will definitely be able to leave Chang'an safely." ”

Zong Chuke looked at the already dark sky outside the window, but the document in his hand was still more and more deformed by him.

If Zong Huo didn't leave the secret room below within three days, his whole person would be on the verge of collapse.

Even at this moment, Zong Huo was already delirious.

The secret room was completely destroyed by Zong Huo, and even the cups were not spared. And the vegetables sent by Zong Chuke had already been dumped to the ground by Zong Huo, and he stepped on them like angry.

Until the door of the secret passage slowly opened again, Zong Huo saw the smiling faces of the staff members who appeared in the smoke and dust.

Zong Huo almost immediately stopped moving, staring at the eager light that popped up in the eyes of the person who suddenly appeared.

"The villain was ordered by Lord Shangshu to escort the son away."

When Zong Huo heard this, he finally fell to the ground completely, and in the pile of leftover wreckage, he showed a relieved but hideous smile.

As soon as it was nightfall, a carriage drove out of the back door of Shangshu Mansion and entered the streets of Chang'an under the cover of night. If you want to leave too conspicuously during the curfew, even if you can escape smoothly, you will be tracked down by Qianniuwei afterwards.

However, at this time, there were six different Hu merchants, who hurried to the city gate before the curfew.

Although there is a curfew in Chang'an City, the night market before the curfew is the most prosperous and lively place.

No Hu merchant wants to miss such a grand event, so every time before curfew, half an hour before the closing of the night market is the busiest time for the four city gates.

Fengche Duwei's Mansion ordered a batch of goods three days ago, and it was not until today that Hu Shang, who was carrying the goods, was allowed to leave Chang'an.

The Hu merchants chose the North City Gate, pulled more than a dozen empty carriages, and arrived at the North City Gate in the smoke and dust.

At this time, many Hu merchants had gathered at the city gate.

In addition to carrying customs clearance documents of the second grade or above, all the Hu merchant chariots and horses here must be checked before they can be released.

The document signed by Captain Fengche who hid Zong Huo naturally had to be interrogated.

But the group of Hu businessmen who were the leaders just squinted at the crowded team in front of them.

One of them, Qianniuwei, spat on the ground fiercely: "Damn, it's time every day." ”

All Hu Shang's faces were also full of sincere fear.

Qian Niuwei's eyes flashed, and he grabbed a Hu Shang by the collar and threw him into a corner.

"Dare to take smuggled goods out of the city, a capital crime!"

The Hu merchant who was caught was dumped on the ground with a box of goods, only to see a luminous cup exposed in the pile of grass.

"Grab it, cut it." Qian Niuwei's eyes were cold.

That Hu Shang didn't even have a chance to shout grievances, so he saw a blood mist flying up, and Hu Shang's neck was crooked, and he lost his breath.

Qian Niuwei, who cut people, held a bloody knife and looked coldly at the Hu merchants queuing up one by one, and the coldness on his face was especially obvious in the night.

This is the end of luck, summarily executed.

Zong Huo, who was hiding in the box, pinched his five fingers deep into the flesh.

All the Hu businessmen who were inspected were kicked over the boxes one by one to inspect the goods inside.

Half an hour passed.
