Chapter 17 There is a way
When Pei Xian, standing next to the carriage and looking through the autumn water, he finally saw Pei Tan's figure appear from the palace road.
He almost never had the joy of the moment: "Childe! ”
Pei Tan also saw him, but he still walked up to him step by step, Pei Xian subconsciously wanted to say something, but Pei Tan gently shook his head to stop him.
So, Pei Xian lowered his head and didn't say anything.
At this time, the guards of Wenchang Gate had just changed their guards, and Pei Tan's eyes swept around lightly before he slowly got into the carriage and got into the curtain.
Jing Wan'er was sitting in the carriage, still wearing the clothes of a little eunuch, but her face was obviously pale from being frightened all night.
Pei Tan looked at her, and neither of them made a sound.
Outside the door, Pei Xian's voice came in a low voice: "Childe, do you want to leave the palace now?" ”
Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er: "Out of the palace." ”
As he spoke, he had already sat down opposite Jing Wan'er. Jing Wan'er shrank herself in the corner of the carriage, looking at Pei Tan with a pair of eyes, as if she had words.
The carriage shook lightly, and Pei Xian began to drive towards the palace gate outside.
The guards of Wenchang Gate, who had just changed their guards, were slightly surprised, but Pei Xian then took out Zhongzong's imperial token: "Lord Pei, the secretary of Dali Temple, entered the palace last night by the emperor's order, and you can ask the palace for verification." ”
There is no need to ask for verification, seeing this token is enough for the Wenchangmen guards not to dare to stop it, and the two immediately opened the palace gate without further investigation.
Pei Xian took the token back into his arms, and with a crisp whip, he rushed out of Wenchang Gate.
Jing Wan'er felt this unusual bump, and her face finally changed.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she really got out of the palace safely.
She immediately looked at the man opposite, Pei Tan still had that faint expression, but when Jing Wan'er looked over, the depths of his eyes were obviously gloomy.
This is the first time they have met.
However, before this time, Jing Wan'er and Pei Tan could not be said to be ignorant.
"Thank you for saving me." After a long time, Jing Wan'er chose to break the silence first.
Pei Tan looked at her: "You asked me before, did Zong Huo have fled Chang'an, why do you ask this?" ”
Jing Wan'er's eyes were deep: "Because the slave maid found something that should not be discovered, there will be a slave and maid being chased by the palace guards tonight." ”
Pei Tan's eyes were darker than the night: "What are you saying you shouldn't have discovered?" ”
Listening to the sound of the carriage now, the carriage has already driven on the street of Chang'an Avenue.
It seemed that he had also been reborn, looking at Pei Tan without moving.
"Naturally, it was the slave maid who found out that Zong Huo was not dead, and the dead body was simply a trick to transfer flowers and trees." The girl's voice is clear, and her eyes are as clear as the bottom of the mirror.
When Pei Tan saw such a pair of eyes, he naturally knew that all his previous speculations had been verified.
Jing Wan'er really dares to do these things without hesitation.
At this time, outside the carriage, Pei Xian's voice sounded a little uncalm and low: "...... Childe, should we go back to Dali Temple directly? ”
A "can't" was added, because of the time bomb girl in the carriage.
Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er's eyes met, and his words back to Pei County were also clear and clear: "Go back to Dali Temple directly." ”
Jing Wan'er has come out of the palace, so she must go to his Dali Temple.
This girl is already the most involved in the case, and it is impossible to get rid of it at this time.
Pei Xian heard Pei Tan's confirmation, was silent for a while, and finally turned the carriage around and drove towards the bend of Dali Temple.
It seems that the farther away from the palace, the cleaner the armor on Jing Wan'er's body will be removed, and at this moment, she is already like a thorough and delicate girl.
Pei County, who was driving, determined the goal, and arrived at Dali Temple in less than half an hour.
Pei Tan opened the curtain in the car and saw the familiar back door of Dali Temple. Pei Xian parked the carriage at the back door, very cautiously.
"Childe, let's let my subordinates transfer the guards at the back door first."
Pei Tan thought about it and acquiesced to this approach.
Pei Xian's figure immediately disappeared at the back door, and after a while, only to hear the noisy footsteps and walk away, Pei Xian personally stared at the people and retreated, before coming out of the back door again.
Pei Tan motioned for Jing Wan'er to follow him out of the car.
Because Jing Wan'er is still wearing eunuch clothes, she is dressed indecently. If Pei County had not transferred the guards in advance, it would have caused a commotion.
When Jing Wan'er didn't react, she felt her shoulders warm, and when she turned around, she found that a cloak had unknowingly covered her body.
She was subconsciously a little stunned.
It was Pei Tan who took off the cloak and put it on Jing Wan'er's body. When it comes to carefulness, Pei County has always learned from Pei Tan.
"Let's go." Pei Tan finally spoke.
He stepped into the back door, Pei Xian walked last, and Jing Wan'er walked between the two.
The three of them are very low-key, even if someone passes by on the road, Pei Tan walks in the front, followed by Pei Xian with an indifferent face, and no one cares about Jing Wan'er who is still wearing a cloak in the middle. After a stick of incense, he finally did not arouse the notice of anyone in Dali Temple, and returned to the side hall of the courtyard where Pei Tan lived.
"Childe, what to do with this palace maid?" As soon as he stood still in the hall, Pei Xian asked in a deep voice.
In that situation in the palace just now, he could not make a noise, he could only act according to Pei Tan's instructions first, but now that he has returned to Dali Temple, he naturally has something to say.
Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er, who was standing without saying a word, everything that happened tonight could not be thought about at all, everything he did was just the most subconscious and reasonable reaction under the circumstances.
However, things can be done, but the consequences must be borne.
He looked at the girl in front of him, Jing Wan'er's identity, even if she escaped from the palace, she would not be safe.
After a long time, Pei Tan said softly: "It takes at least three hours from the miscellaneous room to the Taiye Pool, and the palace guards have been trained for a long time, and their reaction will not wait for you to escape to the Taiye Pool." That is, you knew about the danger tonight? ”
And knowing the danger, he didn't choose to flee outside the palace, but went deep into the inner palace on the contrary, which is probably the reason why he can delay time and make the internal guards unable to find her in the first place.
This young girl, so calm in the face of danger, is really very smart.
Jing Wan'er and Pei Tan looked at each other, she already knew that it was really luck from God that she could escape tonight.
"You've been using carrier pigeons to communicate with the outside of the palace?" Pei Tan finally asked.
Jing Wan'er stood quietly for a long time, she once used a carrier pigeon to send a message to Dali Temple, naturally this point could not be hidden from Pei Tan.
"Yes, Wan'er did get the news from outside the palace, knowing that Zong Huo had left Chang'an, and knowing that as soon as he left, it would be Wan'er's death."
As long as the cause and effect of things are figured out, these things are not difficult to guess.
Pei Tan looked at her and didn't say anything for a while.
Pei Tan's silence made the atmosphere in the side hall slowly more solemn, but Pei Xian couldn't help but continue: "After tonight, everyone will know that the palace maid escaped from the palace, and this woman is likely to ...... It will become a burden to Childe. ”
Jing Wan'er said quietly, "Everything starts with the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are willing to bear it, and they will not implicate the adult." ”
Pei Xian looked at her coldly unceremoniously: "You are just a palace maid, how can you bear it?" ”
Jing Wan'er slowly untied her cloak, and the palace maid clothes she had changed into were tied to stones by her and thrown into the Taiye Pool. Under the Taiye Pool, there are countless secrets hidden since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to really salvage the Taiye Pool.
She stared at Pei Tan and said, "Wan'er has never been afraid of death since she entered the palace. It's the same today. ”
She seemed to be hinting that even if Pei Tan handed her over now, she would not resist.
Pei Tan's eyes were staring at her face, since he took her out of the palace, he naturally wouldn't send her back for no reason. Moreover, Zong Huo has fled Chang'an City, and only Jing Wan'er can explain this case of substitution of death now.
Pei Tan's fingers tapped on the table, obviously thinking about countermeasures. One thing Pei Xian said is right, the eyes in Dali Temple are no less than in the palace, Jing Wan'er is here for a few more moments, which also brings Dali Temple into danger.
At this moment, Pei Tan thought of someone.
——
When Xing Zuo, the chief bookkeeper, was checking the case file in the study, he received a summons from Pei Tan and hurried to the side hall.
"What do you command?"
Pei Tan was pacing in the room with his hands behind his back at this time: "Do you still have an impression of the case of the folk woman Zichan'er before?" ”
It had been less than two days since that incident, and Master Xing thought for a while and naturally remembered: "Remember, I don't know why the adults suddenly asked?" ”
Pei Tan looked at Master Xing's book and asked, "The husband she married, the restaurant she opened in Chang'an, do you remember the name?" And on which street? ”
Master Xing was a little surprised in his heart, but he immediately replied: "Lord Qiyu, the restaurant opened by that couple is called Zixuan Building. It's on Qing'an Street where the city gate turns left. ”
Pei Tan squinted his eyes and thought about it, not far away, "You now order to prepare a carriage, I want to go to Qing'an Street." ”
When Master Xing heard that Pei Tan was going, he immediately asked in surprise, "Could it be that the couple did something again?" Do you want to take the servants with you to arrest you? ”
Pei Tan immediately said: "It's not a crime, you don't have to bring people, just park the carriage at the back door of Dali Temple, I have my own use." ”
Although Master Xing was suspicious, he didn't want to question Pei Tan: "Yes, then the subordinates will go and prepare for the adults." ”
After Master Xing went out, there was a moment of silence in the side hall, and Pei said; "Come out."
Jing Wan'er and Pei Xian both came out of the side door where they had been hiding in advance, and they all heard what Pei was talking about clearly, especially when Zi Chan'er's name appeared, Jing Wan'er's expression was already different from just now.
Pei Tan looked at her in his eyes, he was also just now, and suddenly his mind changed, and he thought of the palace maid Zichan'er, who also escaped from the palace, and now is married to a wife and has changed her appearance to survive.
In fact, Jing Wan'er doesn't need others to worry about her at all, as long as she leaves the palace, she is actually equivalent to a fish entering the water......
Looking at Jing Wan'er's still calm eyebrows, Pei Tan's eyes were a little gloomy.
After a while, the next person had already come to inform that the carriage was ready at the back door.
