When Ji Erlan heard him ask this, she told him all the purpose of the murderer that she had guessed when she was with the Fang family brothers and sisters before, and then stared at him with a slightly eager gaze, hoping that he could give him some advice or inspiration.

Who knew that Yang Zhen just let out a faint 'oh'. Just like he said just now, Ji Erlan had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and then Ji Erlan only said lightly and perfunctorily, 'Don't dare', and his tone was the same......

Ji Erlan tasted his slightly vengeful behavior, slandered in his heart for a while, and then used her three lives as a human being, decades of experience, half-flattering and half-coaxing compliment: "The prince is wise and wise, which is beyond the reach of metrics like me." I wonder if the prince saw something from it? ”

Yang Zhen glanced at her lightly and said, "I didn't see anything." ”

Ji Erlanyuan's eyes widened, feeling that she had been tricked, she deeply felt that she was really a mediocre person!

This expression seemed to please Yang Zheng greatly, he took a sip of tea and said, "However, listening to what you said, it reminds this king of an old incident in Chaozhou a few years ago. ”

"Chaozhou?" Ji Erlan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect this matter to have anything to do with Chaozhou.

Nearly six years after ascending the throne today, the government was mostly constrained by the family gate valve, until three years ago, Chaozhou had the intention of rebelling against the party, the king was only 16 years old, personally led people to infiltrate Chaozhou to deploy, before the thieves and thieves rose, they secretly united to hold hostage to the surrounding festival envoys, encroached on hostile forces, cut off the chaotic party, and finally avoided this man-made disaster.

It is precisely because of this incident that King Du and the emperor's uncle Duan Wang should cooperate with the outside world to help the current emperor cultivate his own power, which can compete with the valve family, forming a situation of mutual balance today.

Ji Erlan secretly admired the mind and strategy of King Du, and at this time he really had some reverence from ordinary people: "What is the old thing? ”

"Three years ago, someone in Chaozhou wanted to make trouble, this king found out the news, and went to Chaozhou in advance to secretly deploy, near the house where he hid, there was a solid family, and the situation was like today's Fang Mansion, the original calm house, just because there was a cousin or a cousin niece or something, it was a mess."

Ji Erlan listened to him lightly mention the Chaozhou rebellion, and couldn't help but think in his heart: The chaotic situation in the court at that time, I don't know if he took the risk for the sake of the court or for himself, and made a desperate bet? Could it be that in the royal family, can he and the current emperor really share weal and woe with each other?

However, she didn't want to explore these things, and only asked, "Could it be that at this time, there were rumors in Fang Mansion that someone was missing?" ”

"That's right, it's just that the murderer identified by the missing woman's family at that time was the male owner of that household."

Ji Erlan was slightly stunned, there was such a coincidence in the world? "And then?"

Later, the Chaozhou incident happened, and the king had no time to pay attention to this little thing, until the Chaozhou event was decided, and I heard by chance that the family's wealth was lost and was looted. At that time, because of the thief, everyone only thought that they were unlucky and were led by the thieves. ”

Ji Erlan's face was strange, and his eyebrows were tangled and quickly relaxed: "That's how it happened...... No wonder I feel lacking no matter how I think about it. ”

Yang Xiao glanced at her in surprise and said, "You have already figured out the cause and effect?" ”

"If you take out just one of them, you may not be able to grasp the clue, but if you combine the two things together, you may have the answer." Her eyes are like cold water in winter, only when the sun shines on them can reveal a few points of temperature, at this time, she concentrates and meditates, the sun penetrates the cold water and curls out of the mist, and then disperses in an instant, like seeing the sun through the clouds.

She said: "It must be a series of money-seeking cases. The most critical person in this incident is the missing cousin. If the problem is with this cousin, and the whole thing is premeditated, the answer is actually very simple. ”

"I think the missing woman must have been an accomplice of the criminal, and the real cousin may have been trafficked into the hands of human teeth, or...... Killed and killed. ”

Yang Zhen already felt a little when he remembered the incident in Chaozhou, but he didn't expect Ji Erlan to find out the clues so quickly and figure out the cause and effect. After a moment's thought, he agreed: "It seems that the perpetrator is very experienced and very cautious. Before committing the crime, the woman who traveled to her relatives must have been investigated clearly, and only if she has never met her relatives or has not met for a long time can this plan be carried out. So in the past three years, there have only been two such cases. ”

Ji Erlan snorted coldly and said, "The so-called one year is not open, and it will be open for three years." Not only does it gain both people and money, but it also avoids excessive risks, I don't know who it is, it is really easy to calculate. ”

As the two of them were talking about this, the carriage slowed down, and Lei Ze's voice sounded: "Lord Wang, the Great Pudu Temple has arrived." ”

Yang Shu sat steadily, and suddenly said, "After saying so much, are you thirsty?" ”

For such a long time, Ji Erlan was indeed a little thirsty, but because King Du didn't speak, she couldn't use his cup at will, so she endured it, and when she heard him ask at this time, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly.

A slight smile appeared in the corners of Yang Zhen's eyes: "Why, do you want this king to pour water for you personally?" ”

Ji Erlan choked for a moment, is this what she means to be casual? She looked into the tea tray, reached for the unused teacup on the side, lifted the teapot to a glass of water, and drank it silently.

She heard the sound of the jewels under the eaves of the car outside had stopped, so she quickly put down the teacup and signaled that she was ready to drink.

Only then did Yang Wei get up and say, "It seems that the Fang family has been able to avoid this disaster. It depends on the life of the cousin. ”

Ji Erlan also got out of the carriage after him and asked, "Presumably, the prince will be able to ambush the criminals in this case?" ”

Yang Zhen didn't even look back, and said lightly: "I'm not interested." ”

Ji Erlan was stunned, and then secretly made a vicious mistake in the back molars, Lei Ze stood with his head bowed on the side, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and he looked sullen and didn't dare to make a sound. Ji Erlan glared at him fiercely, and quickly stepped on his instep, regardless of Lei Ze's silent cry there, he walked forward behind Yang Zhen with his hands behind his back.

Although the Great Pudu Temple is not a royal temple, it is a more ancient Zen temple than the Da'an Dynasty. Its solemn and magnificent, ancient atmosphere, like a long-standing ancient Zen master is about to become a Buddha and step into the sky.

Ji Erlan looked at the red lacquer giant gate that was three feet high, comparable to the gate of the capital, and couldn't help but give birth to a little bit of clarity that was empty.

It was obvious that the monks in the temple had already been informed of the king's trip, but it was an eight- or nine-year-old gray-clothed novice who came to greet him. He was followed by sixteen brown-clothed novices, standing on the left and right, saluting respectfully. The gray-clothed little novice clasped his hands together and said, "Welcome to the prince, the abbot is in retreat recently, please forgive me for not being able to greet you." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yang Zhen seemed to have known this little novice for a long time, and said, "Master Mingjue will lead the way." ”

Ji Erlan was a few steps behind Yang Zheng, and followed behind slowly, looking at the red pillar in front of the main hall in front of her, there was a couplet written on the left and right side of the main hall, she looked at the lower couplet and couldn't help muttering: "There is no obstacle, and the gaffe does not change ......."

Yang Wei heard her muttering in a low voice, slowly stopped, looked at the lower couplet, and asked her, "But do you feel it?" ”

Ji Erlan didn't expect him to hear it, and he replied with a smile: "The prince smiled, I'm just a layman, and I really can't see through such a profound Buddhist principle." ”

"Hmph, is it, in the eyes of this king, what you say and do is exactly such a Buddha's heart."

Is this saying that his attitude towards him is too casual, indifferent, and not respectful enough? Ji Erlan is used to Yang Zhen's small belly and chicken intestines when he is in a bad mood today, so she said: "I'm afraid I don't know, the things I care about are really a lot, and they really have nothing to do with this calm Buddha nature." I just think this word is good, so I paid more attention to it. ”

When Yang Zhen heard this, his eyebrows raised, his face warmed up again, and he turned around and ignored her. But it was Mingjue in front who heard the conversation between the two, revealing two shallow pear vortices, and explained to Ji Erlan with a smile: "I'm afraid the donor doesn't know, this pair of words is from the hand of the prince of Du." ”

Ji Erlan looked at Yang Zhen's fluttering soap-colored clothes, and thought that this was the case, so he couldn't help laughing dryly, and said with a smile: "Ah, ha, so that's the case, no wonder there is such a charm." ”

Not long after, everyone walked to a quiet courtyard, three meditation rooms stood silently, in the courtyard is a big banyan tree surrounded by two people, under the tree, is a lonely grave, just like the tomb of ordinary people, there is no rest decoration, only a wooden plaque stands.

Ji Erlan was very surprised, originally thought that the tomb of the former emperor and concubine would at least be in a certain hall, with incense and candles on the side, and three kneeling and nine knocking to worship in front of him, but he didn't expect that it would be like this, and he came to the front?

Look at the wooden sign again, it reads: Su Shi Ah Ran.

There is no title, and there is no title.

Ji Erlan sighed. The first emperor loved Su Guifei very much, but he couldn't give her the title of queen, and he couldn't call her 'my wife', otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager Song be embarrassed, and it would also make Su Ran's son Yang Zheng fall into a lot of trouble and be criticized. Simply, the emperor just like this, let the beloved woman come and go freely between heaven and earth, without obstacles, and pray that all troubles will stay away from her and not disturb her heart.

Could it be that the sentence 'There is no obstacle, and the situation is sultry and does not change.'" Is it from the mouth of the former emperor? is so affectionate, it really doesn't look like an emperor's love. She was thinking about it, when she heard Yang Wei say: "My father once said that I am most like him. I thought he was rejoicing. But my father said that he actually wanted me to be more like my mother. ”

In this way, can the son see his mother through him?

Ji Erlan was silent.

From the actions of the father and son, it can also be seen that Su Ran's death must have something else going on. She didn't know whether to feel sorry for the emperor, or feel sad for Concubine Su, who was so remembered after her death, and could she stay with her even for a moment before her death. If it were her, she would definitely protect the person in her heart. It's not like this after heaven and man are separated forever. In her opinion, it was really useless.

Yang Zhen stepped forward to bow, Ji Erlan naturally couldn't stand stupidly on the side, she could only follow him and bow her head, the surroundings were quiet, she realized that except for herself, everyone else was waiting in the courtyard, only she followed in, and suddenly felt a little abrupt.

She subconsciously looked up at Yang Zhen in front of her, but Yang Zhen turned to look at her at this time, she was a little embarrassed: "I ......"
