Chapter Ninety-Six: In Prison

Why did Zhongzong choose to send Concubine De out suddenly.

Could it be that Zhongzong has discovered something strange?

"Hongu won't answer you anything." Concubine De lowered her head and straightened the clothes on her body at this time, it seemed that it was still the habit of her daughter's family, and she smiled at Pei Tanchu.

As Concubine De, it is normal for the palace not to want to publicize it, and handing over the task of escort to Dali Temple is also the greatest way to cover people's eyes.

Jing Wan'er suddenly remembered that when she met Concubine De that night, she had already exposed her feet, but at that time, she was also a thief, and the two thieves did not see through each other's tricks.

She rolled her eyes. "Why did such a noble person come to our yard to sweep the floor?"

Concubine De turned around and smiled softly: "A monk is a monk, all beings are equal, what can't you do?" ”

In the past, the queen of heaven became a nun in Ganye Temple, and she never did any rough work, even if she was once high and was trampled in the mud, she still had to swallow her anger.

Jing Wan'er looked at Concubine De, since all beings are equal, why didn't she forget to call herself "Bengong".

But a generation of concubines, how can she be stupid, she refuses to be talked about by Pei, and naturally knows that Dali Temple can't do anything about her now.

But looking at the beauty in front of him, he couldn't imagine that she would kill someone.

Jing Wan'er observed Concubine De's figure, and said before that unless she was a woman as strong as a man, she could cause a wound to the back of Huigen's head. But how could the weak Concubine De do it.

Jing Wan'er suddenly felt that before they thought that if they found the murder weapon, they would be bright, and then they thought that they had found Concubine De, but they couldn't get anything from her, this case was really speechless.

"The fragrance on the mother's body is really different, can you tell the slave what kind of fragrance it is?"

Concubine De's face changed at this time, and she glanced at Jing Wan'er. Jing Wan'er looked at her, her eyes unclear.

In fact, Concubine De's body has no fragrance at all.

At this time, outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of the footsteps of other monks, and Concubine De quickly lowered her head, ignored them, and disappeared around the courtyard gate.

After Concubine De left, Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan, "Don't you stop it?" ”

His Majesty Ruizong's Concubine De has already appeared, and Jing Wan'er is not surprised by what happened in this case.

Pei Tan was silent, and he also knew that it was far from the time to convict Concubine De. As for Concubine De, it is impossible for her to have the opportunity to leave Qinglong Temple, which is the second cage for her after the court.

Neither side actually took advantage.

Jing Wan'er is young after all, and her age is not enough for her to deeply understand everything during the reign of the queen of heaven.

Concubine Wang De followed the former emperor when she was in the palace, and Ruizong ascended the throne for the first time and was named Concubine De. Now after several twists and turns, Ruizong has still been demoted to the prince, but Concubine De can no longer become a princess.

They all believed that Huigen was killed, and this case was extremely scary to think about, which made people gasp. The young and handsome prince who often goes to the deep palace met the lonely former emperor Concubine De who was old in the deep palace.

"Concubine De didn't admit to knowing the prince." Jing Wan'er couldn't help but say. But why do you react wrong when you hear the fragrance?

Pei Tan said to Wan'er: "The wall has ears. ”

The other monks in the courtyard didn't know where they went, presumably because of this, Concubine Wang De dared to take the risk to show up.

In particular, the secret decree received by Dali Temple was originally to take back King Changle immediately after escorting Concubine De to Qinglong Temple.

This back and forth is closely connected, and it is only then that I feel more and more that Zhongzong has long been ignorant, if nothing else, King Changle and Concubine De will only miss it. But now both of them are involved in the murder.

Jing Wan'er's eyes flashed and looked at Pei Tan, "Wan'er is worried, no matter whether she can solve the case or not, I'm afraid your adult will... Lose the favor of His Majesty. ”

The status of Dali Temple is difficult enough, the first two times all rely on Zhongzong to trust Pei Tan and Dali Temple, this case, really pulled Pei Tan and Dali Temple down the abyss.

Pei Tan's career in Dali Siqing is going to end in this first year.

Pei Tan said lightly for a while: "This case starts and ends well, and it is worthy of Dali Temple." ”

This time, it depends on Pei Tan's trade-off technique, whether he can still turn the danger into a disaster.

Shen Xingwen knocked on the door again this time, and Pei Tan looked at him: "What's the matter with Shen Chengzuo?" ”

Huigen's body has been examined, and he doesn't know what to do with it.

Shen Xingwen arched his hand: "My lord, my subordinates have consulted many books overnight, and the little monk is afraid that the real cause of death is a serious injury in the back of his head." ”

Pei Tan's eyes moved slightly: "What do you say?" ”

Shen Xingwen said: "Although the poison was detected in the throat, the subordinates carefully recalled the wound, the outside of the wound, the blood was still bright, but the blood flowing out of the back had scabbed over, the color was slightly darker, the poison infected extremely quickly, and the wound of the heavy blow was instantly fatal, the little monk lost his breath on his front feet, and the venom on his hind feet went to the brain, and the blood turned black. ”

In fact, what people don't understand is why they used two ways to kill Huigen and how much hatred they had.

Pei Tan said: "It's too much trouble. ”

Shen Xingwen said: "Don't dare, don't dare, your subordinates should." In the morning, my subordinates listened to the adults in the courtyard talking, and dared to ask who they were talking to? ”

Pei Tan was speechless, Jing Wan'er couldn't hear it.

Shen Xingwen did not look embarrassed.

"Shen heard that the prince of Changle is also in the temple, if this case involves the prince, will it also interfere with Dali Temple?"

Shen Xingwen asked what he meant by this, did he think that Pei Tan would be like the previous Siqing, because he couldn't solve the case because of the imperial power.

"Shen Yanzuo, this official found out that you had participated in the imperial examination five years ago, and you ranked first in the examination at that time."

Although the examination is not as powerful as the palace examination, the person who enters the palace examination is the first person who can take the examination, and the first place in the examination is the top talent. Shen Xingwen arched his hand, his face drooping: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Shen is down now, how dare I mention the courage of the year." ”

Pei Tan said: "But in the palace test later, you didn't go. ”

Shen Xingwen looked even more surprised: "At that time, I happened to have something at home, and I missed the palace exam, and I won't be able to pass the exam next year." ”

The person who will take the first test will not be able to pass the test again next year, Jing Wan'er stared at him, this excuse is more fake than the name of Sun Shan.

Pei Tan asked lightly: "Oh, what happened at home at that time that made Shen Yanzuo give up his good future?" ”

Shen Xingwen smiled lonely: "Why do adults suddenly care about Shen's past?" ”

Pei Tan looked at him quietly.

Jing Wan'er is not surprised, with the power of the Pei family, even if Shen Xingwen is just a nobody, he can still find out.

Pei Tan said: "At that time, your mother unfortunately died, right? ”

Shen Xingwen's hands were a little clenched. He smiled.

Pei Tan said: "I learned that your mother is not sick and not old, and she will fall into the water and drown when you will try, and it will be strange if it is you who is the official." ”

Shen Xingwen stopped speaking at all.

Pei Tan continued: "After that, you served filial piety for your mother, and you were not allowed to enter the imperial examination for three years, and in the fourth year, you entered the Criminal Department, stayed for more than half a year, and arrived at my Dali Temple." ”

This year is exactly the fifth year.

Jing Wan'er didn't want to see this Shen Xingwen for a long time, but she had no clue to investigate, and this time Pei Tan found out, and she understood it.

Pei Tan looked at Shen Xingwen with a light gaze: "You are the concubine of the family, your mother is from a commoner, the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion is the daughter of the Li family, you have been at the top since you were a child, you are stronger than the sister-in-law of the Li family, and when you are old, you are also hiding from the people in the family and applying for the imperial examination yourself." ”

The more tricky the family magnates, the more unlikely it is to let the concubine come out, even if he has only learned people, it is useless. In Chang'an, the rank is the threshold of a lifetime.

Shen Xingwen's hand clenched tighter.

"If you act like this, you will naturally anger the eldest lady in the family, and when you go home after the exam, you find that your mother is innocently drowned, so you naturally understand the cause and effect."

Shen Xingwen's face was expressionless: "Why did the adult investigate Shen." ”

Pei Tan looked at him: "I don't want to investigate you, there are some things that must be understood." ”

As a person from Dali Temple, especially a servant who is closely related to the murder, whether he is reliable and trustworthy is one of Pei's negotiation cases

basis.

"Your mother died in the hands of the Li family, but behind her is the Li family, no one has touched the Li family in Chang'an, not to mention that you, a concubine with no foundation, even if you have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, I am afraid that there is no choice in this life except to swallow this breath."

This is the helplessness of the people struggling in the mud, Jing Wan'er suddenly shuddered. Even if her father has become an official of the Sanpin Imperial Court, so what, in the hands of those scholars, it is still like playing with ants.

Pei Tan looked at Shen Xingwen: "But since you were a child, you have worked hard in order not to fall into the sister-in-law, and how can you give up when you see your mother die." So you didn't choose the imperial examination again, but entered the criminal department, and you were willing to do an autopsy. ”

If you can't fight the living, then fight the dead.

Jing Wan'er kind of understood why she subconsciously resisted Shen Xingwen, this person was too similar to her.

Shen Xingwen suddenly smiled, he looked at Pei Tan, but there was no smile in his eyes: "My lord thoroughly investigated Shen's past, did he mean to drive Shen out of Dali Temple?" But Shen was assigned to Dali Temple by the Criminal Department, and I am afraid that the adults alone will not be able to be the master. ”

Pei Tan looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

Shen Xingwen raised his hand and saluted indifferently: "If it's nothing, my subordinates will retire." ”

Shen Xingwen turned around and left, this time without any nostalgia.

Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan: "Where did he get the news, knowing that this case will definitely involve the Li Tang royal family?" ”

Pei Tan said: "He is a smart person and has his own way, as for where he found out, even if this case has nothing to do with the royal family, he will naturally find a way to connect it." ”

In Chang'an City, every time a trivial thing happens, it is too easy to get involved with the powerful.

Who made this here Datang, it is Chang'an.

Shen Xingwen came to avenge his mother, and Jing Wan'er couldn't say that she didn't understand such a thing. And what Shen Xingwen did was somewhat despicable, and she didn't comment.
