Master Xing got out of the car, solemnly tidied up his clothes, and walked into the back door.

There was no one to show him the way, and he walked quickly to a wing house with lights on. After a gentle knock on the door, he opened the door and walked in.

There was only one table in this room, and behind the table, Zong Chuke stared at Master Xing who had just entered the door with an expressionless face.

Master Xing was startled, walked in quickly with his head down, and then knelt down: "The villain knocks on Lord Shangshu." ”

Zong Chuke stared at him coldly for a moment before he spoke: "Get up." ”

Master Xing seemed to have received amnesty, and got up and said, "Lord Xie." ”

Master Xing was a little nervous, and kept looking at Zong Chuke. "Dare to ask your lord, what are your orders to summon the villain at this time?"

Zong Chuke stared at him for a long time before he said, "Does that shaft suspect you?" ”

Master Xing's face changed, and then he lowered his head and said: "The villain has always listened to the words of the adult, and has never acted aggressively. ”

Speaking of Dali Temple, even Pei Tan has changed several times, but Xing Zuo's main book has never been changed. Among them, there is naturally the role of Zong Chuke. On the contrary, because Xing Zuo stayed for a long time, every Dali Siqing relied on him after taking office.

"What have you been doing lately?" Zong Chuke asked with a cold face, after "killing" his son with a ruthless hand, what hateful things did this erector do.

Master Xing began to recall: "Pei Tan recently opened the treasury where the files were collected, and since five years ago, he has taken every old case and re-sorted it. Moreover...... He also called some of the people involved in the case at that time to Dali Temple for interrogation. ”

Zong Chuke's expression became more and more cold: "What does he want to do when he does this?" ”

Master Xing looked up at Zong Chuke: "The villain doesn't know. ”

Pei Tan's behavior is simply weird, and he doesn't look like he plans to overturn the case, because although some people were called to Dali Temple, they were all released on the same day, and if they wanted to retry any case, it would never be like this.

But Zong Chuke obviously didn't care about these, his hand on his knee clenched, "I ask you, he has been ...... recently." Did you pay attention to Hol's case? ”

Whether Pei Tan is still asking about this case is the most important thing, he sees that it doesn't matter if these case files are in the past, what matters is that he still doesn't care about Zong Huo's "death".

In the hearts of Chang'an people, Zong Huo is already dead, and Pei Tan should not ask about the case of a dead person. But if he is still paying attention to this matter, it means that it ...... At least in Zong Chuke's opinion, it is by no means simple!

Master Xing looked at Zong Chuke's face and said slowly: "According to the villain's observation, Pei Tan didn't stare at Zong Huo Gongzi anymore. ”

Although Pei Tan's behavior is not normal, at least on the surface, it definitely has nothing to do with Zong Huo.

Zong Chuke's hand clenched tighter: "Are you sure?" ”

Master Xing's eyes were gloomy: "The villain is confident that Pei Tan has no doubts about the villain, and his mind is now on the old file, so he shouldn't have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of Gongzi Zonghuo." ”

There is no need for Pei Tan to hide himself in front of Master Xing, if he thinks about asking Zong Huo about this case, he will definitely let Master Xing find a file for him. Since he didn't do this, it shows that Pei Tan's mind is naturally attracted by other things.

There was a long silence in the room.

Judging from Zong Chuke's demeanor, he seemed to believe it, but it was a little dark and unclear.

But immediately after, his eyes deepened, "Two nights ago, Pei Tan entered the palace, when he came back, did he bring anyone with him?" ”

If you want to be a Tibetan in Dali Temple, you can even say that Pei Tan is definitely not as comfortable as Xing Zuo, because, for the familiarity with Dali Temple, Pei Tan is not as good as Xing Zuo, who has been the chief bookkeeper for many years.

Master Xing's eyes also narrowed, and he pondered for a moment and said, "The villain didn't notice anyone else. Pei Tan's side has always been only that Pei County. ”

Zong Chuke stared at Master Xing: "Really? ”

Master Xing's eyes were gloomy: "The villain dares to guarantee with the head of the item." ”

Pei Tan has no abnormal behavior during these days, and there are no problems when he enters the palace and returns, and it seems that everything is really business as usual.

Zong Chuke stared at the night outside the window, could he really think too much?

Pei Tan is just a vertical son after all, and he just took office as the secretary of Dali Temple to ask for an order to "execute" his son, which is just a reckless move by the vertical son.

Zong Chuke slowly let go of a hand, looked at Master Xing and said, "Continue to keep an eye on this shaft, and find out that there is anything wrong with him...... Come and report to the old man immediately. ”

Master Xing bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

——

The next day, Pei Tan ordered the prisoners to be brought to Dali Temple, and Pei Xian came to tell him: "Son, do you want to be promoted to the court to try the case?" ”

Pei Tan didn't raise his head: "No, put them in the backyard for half an hour, and then let them go." ”

Pei Xian was surprised: "Don't you ask?" ”

Pei Tan said: "Their case has long passed the retrial period, and the clues have long been exhausted with time, and there is no need for trial." ”

This is not about whether there were grievances in this case at the beginning, nor is it because Pei Tan is a Qingtian master who wants to do the right thing for heaven. Rather, these are cases that have long lost their meaning and will not even be traced back to the parties.

Pei Xian was even more surprised: "That son...... Why did you bring them to the yamen? ”

Pei Tan lightly opened his eyes from the book at this time, looked at Pei Xian and said: "I asked people to bring Zichan'er to Dali Temple before, although her case has long been clear, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will see anything from it." Bringing a few more people from old cases like this now will naturally not attract attention. ”

It turned out that in the green bushes, just to disturb the line of sight. Only then did Pei Xian understand his son-in-law's plan.

"But Childe...... Why do you want to do more of this, even if you don't do it, who will pursue it, or does Childe think that someone will pursue it? ”

Pei Tan's eyes were deep: "I don't think it matters, it's just that for everything, it's better to make more preparations to make the best plan." ”

Everything is better than this, and prepared. It's better than one less piece, and ...... in the future Trouble continues.

As if in response, Master Xing's figure walked in from the outside, "My lord, the few people you asked to bring have been escorted to the backyard, do you want to ask your lord in person, or?" ”

Pei Tan glanced at him, and his expression was indifferent: "The master book has worked hard, you go down first, and the official will deal with it later." ”

Master Xing's expression was respectful: "Yes, the villain went down first." ”

Waiting for Master Xing to leave the hall, Pei Xian subconsciously looked outside, and then looked at Pei Tan.

Pei Tan didn't say anything, just picked up the book and stood up: "As I just ordered, you personally watched those people for half an hour, and then let them go." ”

Let Pei Xian personally watch it, you can prevent someone from snooping, and it is safe to release people in half an hour.

Half an hour later, Pei Xian let someone come back, and there was an extra letter in his hand.

It is a carrier pigeon which I received in the yard.

"Childe, it should be from the secret guard outside the city." Pei Xian handed the unwrapped letterbox to Pei Tan.

Pei Tan opened it and saw the tragic incident that happened in the inn outside the city as described in the secret guard's letter.

A picturesque girl with round eyes and no eyes.

Pei Tan slowly rubbed the letter.

"Send a few reliable men to the location in the letter outside the city and bring the body back."

I heard that this girl was sold to Zong Huo by her father, so the boss of the inn did not make a noise, and she had no daughter.

"Childe, why don't you let the dark guard do it now and capture Zong Huo back?"

This man is like his father, he is mad and cruel, and his hands can be bloodied on the way to escape, and if he is allowed to flee south, he does not know what kind of disaster will be caused.

Pei Tan's eyes were cold: "The Pei family's secret guards we sent are not strong enough to capture Zong Huo." Even in the caravan escorting Zong Huo, how many outlaws did they really want to start, and the secret guards would only die in vain. ”

That's why Zhongzong told Pei Tan that this matter should not be made a big show.

Pei Tan can't mobilize the forbidden army in Chang'an City, and the palace won't give Pei Tan support, Pei Tan can only mobilize the only secret guard of the Pei family, and the official of Dali Temple.

Such a task that will fail if you are not careful, only Pei Tan will take over the will of Zhongzong.

Because of this incident, it was Pei Tan who poked it out.

Sometimes, the emperor's ruthlessness has to be taken into account.

"When you go out of the city and bring back the corpse, you take someone to do it yourself. It just so happened that there was a gang of rogues in Chang'an recently, and you pretended to go out of the city to chase the gangsters, passing by the inn, and bringing the corpses back along the way. ”

In this way, no one will suspect what Pei Xian is doing out of the city, and Pei Tan is also acting in the open.

"But Childe, who will protect you?" Pei Xian subconsciously clenched the saber on his waist, and when he followed Pei Tan to take office, he was explained to protect him with death.

If Zong Chuke wanted to protect the safety of his son Zong Huo for the rest of his life, he would definitely try to kill Pei Tan, the thorn in his side.

Even if Pei Tan is the son of the Pei family, so what, the backer behind Zong Chuke is Queen Wei.

Pei Tan's eyes were gloomy, and he said for a long time: "You go and come back quickly, don't worry." These two days...... I also happened to take a break and appreciate the style of Chang'an Street Restaurant. ”

If Pei Tan gave an order, Pei County could only obey no matter what happened.

Early in the morning of the second day, he personally led a team of people and rode out of the city from the north gate to chase after him.

And not long after he left, Pei Tan also got into the carriage and went to the most prosperous area on Chang'an Street.

Pei Tan first sat in the most famous flower street in Chang'an City, in the drunken building, he was one of the Pei sons in Chang'an City and those young sons who reined in together, poetry and wine, and he was no stranger.

After leaving the drunken building, Pei Tan went to the most prestigious restaurant on Chang'an Avenue and listened to the storyteller who was a lobbyist from the north and south, and told the story of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the beauty of the concubine.

Then on this day, it was not until sunset, a moment before the curfew, that Pei Tan took a carriage back to Dali Temple.
