The next morning, the notices of Dali Temple were pasted all over the streets and alleys, the deceased was seven feet three inches tall, thin, fair skin, and light hair color.

You see, as long as you can touch a corpse, even if the corpse is unrecognizable, you can see a lot from it.

And such a notice, although there is no appearance or age, as long as it is really a familiar and close person, it must be known at first sight.

Pei Tan instructed that when he saw him coming to work, he would bring him to see him immediately.

But apparently in the middle of the day, he did not come to Dali Temple.

"As long as he went out this morning and saw the adult's notice, he knew he couldn't hide it."

If you don't have a weak heart, you naturally don't need to run.

Guard Pei said a little coldly at this time: "Son, you can send a team of officials to his house to search." ”

Now the investigation of the Chang'an City Gate, there is absolutely no way to escape without a document, Chang'an City has a large and small curfew, and there is nowhere to hide.

Jing Wan'er thought of something, her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

Pei Xian soon went out with the officials, and the work of Dali Temple was all appointed by the Criminal Department, and there was no way to run if he wanted to. If you dare to break the law, you will be immediately wanted from the criminal department to the locality.

At this time, Miss Jing and Master Pei were playing chess in the Dali Temple. After all, she used to be a daughter of a famous family, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she knew a little.

"You are not optimistic about Pei County's arrest?" Pei Tan's eyes were fixed on the chessboard, while dropping the piece.

Jing Wan'er frowned and thought hard about the chess game, anyway, she couldn't escape, so why bother with more effort.

Pei Tan was a little careless, if he could catch the trick, he would naturally know from him who instructed him, and the case would be solved.

"When Wan'er was in the palace, if those noble masters didn't want to lose their reputation as unkind, they would try their best to borrow a knife to kill people. Kill the person who borrowed the knife again, so that you can cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and sit back and relax. ”

To put it simply, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and standing at the top of the food chain can control everyone.

Pei Tan held the white child in his hand and looked at the girl.

In the chess game, Jing Wan'er is obviously not his opponent, and at this moment, after conceding the third son, Jing Wan'er is still unable to turn the tables.

Pei's guards looked at the house in front of him, which had been burned to a scorched earth, and from the ruins, he found a charred corpse.

A nearby neighbor trembled and said, "Last night, there was a sudden fire......

In the ruins, you can see the hideous face, and the eyeballs are about to pop out. Burned alive.

But how could a sane person allow himself to be burned alive.

"My lord, there's a woman here!"

The searching official suddenly shouted, Pei Xian walked over, and saw that not far from the charred corpse, a woman was pressed under the door.

Her long hair was also charred, and most of all her belly was clumped together.

The officials were horrified.

Pei Xian slowly stretched out his hand and pulled out a piece of burned rope from under the woman.

He looked at the rope, the thickness of his thumb, and there was a white strangulation mark on the woman's wrist, not that they didn't want to run, but that they were already tied by the rope at that time, and they couldn't escape at all.

The officials were at a loss: "Master Pei, what should we do?" ”

It's really the first time I've encountered such a thing for many years.

Pei Xian's extremely cold face: "Take the corpse, let's go back." ”

……

Jing Wan'er had just abandoned her son and admitted defeat when she heard that the officials had returned. Pei Tan was also surprised why he came back so quickly.

At the same time, they brought back two charred corpses.

After seeing the corpse, Jing Wan'er and Pei Tan were both shocked. Especially Jing Wan'er, the only thing she didn't count was one corpse and two lives.

"Didn't you leave anything at the scene?" Pei Tan asked Xiang Pei County for a long time.

Pei Guard's face was cold: "My subordinates led people to search for half an hour, and everything turned into scorched earth. ”

The person who set the fire didn't think to leave any traces.

At the same time, he brought back the only piece of rope that was pressed under the woman's body.

Jing Wan'er felt that her throat was blocked indescribably, the speed of those people was so fast, she couldn't even wait for Tianming to be extinguished, all of this seemed to have been calculated.

"Adults, no matter who is behind them, they don't even let go of women and children, adults must arrest them." Otherwise, what truth and justice are there in this world, and how can the dead be cleared.

Pei Tan was speechless, his handsome face was like winter snow, and there was a kind of cold gloom next to this corpse.

Jing Wan'er reached out and touched the woman, but the ashes fell. She didn't dare to stretch out any more.

"Take some silver, buy a piece of land with good feng shui, and bury them well......" Pei Tan said slowly.

He broke the law, but now he has been treated more cruelly, and the dead are the greatest, and Pei Tan decided to bury him as an official of the Tang Dynasty.

When Jing Wan'er returned to the room, the hand that had touched the female corpse was still shaking, and she felt that there were still ashes left on her fingertips.

There was a man who sneaked through the alley and said in a panic to the carriage that was parked there:

"My lord, something is wrong." In his hand, there was a tore off notice, which was the one posted by Dali Temple.

The man in the carriage didn't show up, but his voice sounded very unkind, "This is what you call a foolproof plan?" ”

The man shed a cold sweat: "It's okay, my lord, no one in Chang'an City recognizes Na Fan and the deceased, and if no one takes care of Dali Temple after a while, these notices will naturally be invalid." ”

In the carriage, a slit suddenly opened, revealing a pair of slightly squinted eyes from the slit: "Can you guarantee that this time, Dali Temple will really give up?" ”

The man's legs seemed to be weak in panic, and he knelt down: "Adult, small and small people used to be the companion of the deceased every day, and I dare to guarantee that he would never know anyone in Chang'an City......"

Only then did the carriage snort coldly, and those eyes retreated into the darkness again, "If it doesn't work out this time, your place, the old man can only let others take over." ”

The man's face turned pale, and he showed a grim look as he saw the carriage go farther and farther. In this world, people die for money, birds die for food, you can't blame him for being vicious, and he has the imperial examination every year, but only a few people have the opportunity to stand above everyone, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, how many more years will he have to wait?

The notice was posted for three days, but no one cared.

Jing Wan'er held the teacup in both hands, stepped lightly on the steps, and slowly walked into Pei Tan's study.

"Tea, sir."

Pei Tan couldn't help but look at Jing Wan'er, and saw her hand from her face: "Who prepared the tea for you?" ”

In addition to the officials, there is not even a single subordinate in Dali Temple, only some elderly servants who do rough work.

Jing Wan'er smiled faintly: "There is a well in the courtyard, and Wan'er took the morning dew by herself, plus the fresh wolfberries she picked, and made this pot of tea." - As for the tea set, it was taken by the slave maid in her own room. ”

It's all made from local materials, and you don't need to trouble others at all.

Pei Tan stared at her, and Jing Wan'er also looked at him, "Why are you doing this?" He asked

Jing Wan'er smiled, and Shi Shiran put things on the table: "Wan'er has no skills, she relies on adults to survive today, but these little things can be done for adults." ”

The whole Dali Temple is like a lifeless cemetery, there are no maids, no people in wide clothes to deliver water, and Pei Tan, the son of Pei's family, must have grown up surrounded by servants and maids since he was a child.

Pei Tan stared at the girl for a long time before slowly taking the tea and taking a sip closer.

Jing Wan'er looked at him: "What do you think, adult?" ”

Pei Tan didn't say anything, just gently put down the teacup, lowered his eyes and said lightly: "You don't have to do this in the future." ”

He had never regarded Jing Wan'er as a slave, and she was originally the daughter of the Jing family, so there was no need to whisper to anyone.

Jing Wan'er's eyes moved, and just as she wanted to say something, there was a sudden drum, which shocked both of them.

A subordinate hurriedly came to report: "My lord, there are drums outside the house. ”

This is the sound of the drum outside the Dali Temple, the drum outside the house, once it sounds, it is so loud and vibrating.

This drum has not been beaten for many years.

Pei Tan looked at the man: "See who is drumming clearly?" ”

The subordinate raised his head and immediately said, "It's a woman." ”

Those who can have the courage to beat the drumbeat outside the Dali Temple are not cornered, but also put to death. Hearing that it was a woman, Jing Wan'er was surprised on her face, listening to the sound of the drum, the woman was beating with all her might.

Pei Tan's eyes were deep: "Go and bring people immediately." ”

The subordinate immediately nodded, got up and ran out of the courtyard.

Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan, and only after a while did she squint a little and asked, "My lord thinks that this drummer has something to do with the notice posted?" ”

Pei Tan looked deep: "You'll know when you go." ”

The tea cup on the table was still warm, Pei Tan looked at it, slowly picked it up, and drank all the tea in the cup.

Pei Tan changed into an official uniform and came to the lobby, but there was no one to see.

The official who was ordered to go to the door to bring people was a little embarrassed and said, "My lord, that woman has to see the adult in person before she is willing to enter the lobby." ”

Pei Tan's eyes deepened: "Why." ”

The official seemed to be a little afraid to raise his eyes: "She said, she, said that since ancient times, it has been difficult to enter the yamen, and the officials have protected each other, she is afraid that she will enter the door of Dali Temple, and before she can see the adult, she will be harmed and killed by the unscrupulous slave." ”

These words caused a moment of silence in the lobby.

The official who delivered the message also lowered his head and did not dare to say more.

Suddenly, Jing Wan'er smiled, and she slowly said to Pei Tan: "My lord, why don't you let Wan'er give it a try." ”

Pei Tan couldn't help but look at her, the girl smiled gently, and there was a kind of indifference in her eyes.

Pei Tan subconsciously followed the sound and looked over, and saw Jing Wan'er standing not far away, looking at him gently.

It's really just like her name, there is always a vague sense of grace flowing in her.

Pei Tan lowered his eyelids and said for a while: "Then you can try it." ”

Just look at Jing Wan'er talking about Pei Tanfu's body, and she actually made a formal salute: "Yes." ”

With that, the girl's gentle figure left the lobby.

At the entrance of Dali Temple, a slender woman with trembling arms was still holding a heavy drumstick, and she was beating the drum hanging above her head.
