We're already in Jiafu, let's go in first, and when we're done with this, we'll go out of the city, and go to the nunnery overnight, I want to see what a master does. ”

Qing Ran couldn't persuade her, so she could only quietly pass the news to Wen Qing, and while Zhuang Siyan was still in Jiafu, let him find a way to arrange someone to go out to explore the situation over there first.

Jia Youshan really said the news of Rongji.

The unexpectedly recovered official bank was put into the warehouse, and with such a large amount of money, it is impossible to say that no one is tempted.

Rong Ji had greeted Jia Youshan early in the morning, so at the same time as he entered the warehouse, he deducted some silver.

Of course, as a veteran of the household department, of course he will not let people find out that the silver is lost at once.

He adjusted the original treasury silver with the treasury silver that he had recovered, and what he took out was the silver that could be used now, and the amount was counted in the amount that was recovered.

That is to say, once someone finds out that the silver is small, they will not find it out on it, because the official silver that is really recovered has been exchanged back into the silver treasury, and there is no use outside.

There is no problem with the amount of silver stored in the treasury, so no one will open it one by one to see the patterns printed on it, or wake up to its origin.

In this way, even if it is checked from above, it will only be checked from the people who transport and dig silver, and they will even think that they have not checked the quantity clearly.

Anyway, it's a windfall, as long as it's not all less, and losing some is not a big deal, it's a reasonable loss.

Jia Youshan said to Zhuang Siyan while wiping the sweat on his forehead: "Lord Si, this matter is not trivial, and the lower officials still have to give the emperor a clear explanation." ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Okay, but now you Mingli is on the same line as Rong Ji, and before your performance is transferred to the emperor, it is possible that he will see it first, and if you want to enter the palace to face the saint, he will also guess it, and it is likely to prepare in advance." ”

Jia Youshan's sweat flowed more: "What should I do?" With so much official silver, it is a capital crime to find out, although the lower official is with him, but this is the ploy of Lord Si, and the lower official ......"

Zhuang Siyan looked at him and already knew that he didn't believe in himself very much, and was afraid that he would use this plan to trap him.

Jia Youshan is too careful, which is also a good thing, Zhuang Siyan didn't want to burden him more, so he thought of a way and said: "In this way, Master Jia, you write down the folds, and you will bring them into the palace from below, and hand them over to the emperor in person, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Jia Youshan heard this, he hurriedly gave Zhuang Siyan his hand: "Then thank you, Master Si, the recital has been written, and it is here." ”

Zhuang Siyan took his recital, didn't open it, stuffed it into his arms, and when he said goodbye to him, he led a few horses out of Jiafu.

Originally, she wanted to go back to the palace first, hand over the fold to Ling Tiancheng, and then go out of the city.

But thinking about it, Rong Ji may not really be at ease with Jia Youshan, and maybe he may also have eyeliner in his house.

He came so blatantly, he had already been exposed, and if he entered the palace again immediately, then he would definitely suspect that it was better to bring something from here, so that others would misunderstand that he was just here to lead a few horses.

After going to Fengxian Nunnery, it's not too late to go back to the palace.

Zhuang Siyan and Qingran rode out of the city and showed the token at the city gate, and the guards let them out.

On the way, Zhuang Siyan felt that something was not right, and discussed with Qing Ran: "The person who sent the message to us is still in the city, and the city gate was closed at that time, how do you say he will go out?" If he can't go out, how can he take out the letter that sent us the message? ”

Qing Ran didn't know and couldn't answer such words.

Zhuang Siyan pondered in his heart, could it be that there are a group of people in the Fengxian Nunnery? Or the person who delivered the letter to her also had the ability to go out of the city?

Both possibilities are quite big, and the truth of the matter will have to wait until they get there.

Out of the city, Aoki and Qingming's dark posts also became bright, and they kept a distance from Zhuang Siyan one after the other and walked forward.

Thirty miles of road is not close, and fast horses have to walk for a while, so by the time Zhuang Siyan and they arrived at Fengxian Nunnery, the night was already very deep.

The gate of Fengxian Nunnery is closed, and only two lanterns are left at the door, but halfway up the mountain, such a nunnery, and such two lanterns, or in the middle of the night, always make people feel like a Chinese ghost ghost.

Zhuang Siyan came in response to the appointment, and there were not many people with her, and she also believed that the other party must have something to say to her, so she didn't coax it at this time, and let Qing Ran go over and knock on the door.

After knocking for a long time, the voice of a little nun inside answered: "Who?" ”

Qing Ran was inconvenient to speak, Zhuang Siyan replied to the other party in a female voice: "Passerby, it's dark for one night, spend the night, I don't know if the master can open the door?" ”

It took a long time inside, I don't know if the little nun went back to discuss the matter with the master, or if she was thinking alone, in short, Qing Ran was impatient to wait, just seeing Zhuang Siyan standing for a long time, he could only wait slowly.

The door of the inner immortal nunnery finally rang, and then a crack was revealed, and the face of the little nun wearing a monk's hat was half exposed from the crack in the door, and when she saw Qing Ran, she shrank back again, claiming that they were a nunnery, and there were no foreign men.

Aoki Aoaki hid first when he arrived here.

Zhuang Siyan already knew that the other party wanted her to go in alone, just to find such an excuse.

She turned sideways and said to Qing Ran in a very small voice: "Wait for me outside, a pillar of incense, if I don't come out, you can go in again." ”

Qing Ran's eyes immediately changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab her: "Sir, this nunnery is very mysterious, I'm afraid it's dangerous, you don't want to go in alone." ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head and walked towards the door.

She bent her fingers and tapped on the door twice, and when she saw the little nun open, she said in a female voice: "Little master, I am a woman, and I am wearing men's clothes only because of the inconvenience of walking, can I stay here for the night?" ”

The little nun looked at her a few times, and then the door was cracked a little bigger, Zhuang Siyan just entered with her front foot, and she closed the door tightly with her back foot.

Qingran and Qingshi outside are in a hurry, one is in the light and the other is dark, and they are all apprehensive.

This is obviously a trap set by others, and it is aimed at them, it must be very dangerous inside, but Zhuang Siyan didn't let them follow, what if something happened?

Zhuang Siyan was also playing a small drum in her heart, but she had been investigating the case for a long time, and she had encountered more dangerous situations than this, but she didn't show it on the surface, but she just cautiously paid attention to the surrounding environment and changes.

The front yard of the nunnery is not very large, and when you enter the gate, you can see the main hall, which is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, sending children and so on.

There are side halls in the east and west, and the door is closed at this time, and I don't know what is inside.

Looking back from the main courtyard, you can feel that there is a backyard inside, but I don't know how big it is.

Zhuang Siyan followed the little nun into the main hall, and looked up to see the Guanyin Bodhisattva there, she also folded her hands, "Amitabha" one.

The little nun glanced sideways at her, but did not speak, and continued to lead inside.

On the sides of the main hall there are places for pilgrims to rest, and the tables and chairs are simple but tidy.

After the little nun brought her to the east side, she bowed slightly, and whispered, "Donor." ”

Zhuang Siyan noticed that her etiquette was not the gift of Buddhism, but the gift of a maid from a large family.

The corner of her eye moved, but her mouth said casually, and watched the little nun retreat.

In the middle of the night, a little nun who was not familiar with her was used to receive her, and she showed such obvious horses' feet, she must have wanted to prepare her in advance.

It seems that the person who asked her to come really has no malicious intent, so who could it be?

As I was thinking, footsteps sounded outside again, and I walked lightly and quickly towards the main hall.

Zhuang Siyan's hand tightened slightly, and it fell down, reaching his waist.

There was a short knife there, unusually sharp, which she used often, and it still worked very well when it mattered.

The light skills of the person who came are excellent, and the martial arts are not weak, you can hear one or two from the footsteps of walking, even Zhuang Siyan knows that the other party has no malicious intentions, and she does not dare to take it lightly, after all, she is now alone in the tiger's den, in case the other party does not kill her, but ties her up, then what will happen behind is simply unpredictable, I am afraid that even Qing Ran who is waiting outside has no choice.

There was a flash of light and shadow at the door, and a person had already flashed inside.

He was still wearing a night coat and a black cloth around his head, but his face was exposed.

Zhuang Siyan recognized the scars on his eyes at a glance, which was exactly what Wen Qing and Ling Tiancheng had said, General Jiang Hanyi.

Out of respect for the legendary character, Zhuang Siyan stood up first and bowed a man's salute: "General Jiang!" ”

Jiang Hanyi was stunned for a moment, maybe he didn't expect her to know her identity so quickly, but then he laughed again and also offered his hand: "Master Si." ”

The two sat across the table, and Jiang Hanyi spoke first: "Xiaomin heard that Master Si is a woman, but there is such a thing." ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at him, raised his eyes and swept the nunnery again, before he replied with a smile: "If it is a man, will General Jiang still let me in?" ”

Jiang Hanyi shook his head lightly: "The grass people have been in the Kou for many years, and they are not worthy of the word 'general', Master Si said carefully. ”

Zhuang Siyan has always been good, and he doesn't care about such small things, so he changed his title when he opened his mouth again: "Elder Jiang, let's not talk darkly, since you asked me to come over, I believe you already know my identity, what do you want Si to do, just say it directly, there is no need to test more." ”

Jiang Hanyi had never seen a woman so cheerful, so smart, and so bold, which added a lot of favor to him.

Besides, Jiang Hanyi himself is also a person of this character, but he relaxed at this moment, looked at Zhuang Siyan and asked, "Caomin heard that Master Si is investigating the case of the moat. ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded, waiting for his later words.

Jiang Hanyi asked: "Can you not check it?" ”

"Why?"

Both sides paused, Zhuang Siyan looked at Jiang Hanyi, and the other party also looked at him, both of them had doubts in their eyes, and they were both stubborn.

In the end, it was Zhuang Siyan who spoke first: "Jiang Lao, too many people have died in the moat, and this case was confessed by the emperor, you can't say that if you don't investigate, I won't investigate, you have also been an official in the court, you should know that some things are also involuntarily, if I let go now, how can I explain to the emperor when I go back, and how can I explain to those unjust souls who died at the bottom of the river?" ”
