After the rooster crowed, it was time to come, the sky was not yet dawn, he stood in the palm-sized courtyard, a simple grape trellis was set up on one side of the courtyard, there were no grapes now, in addition, there were a few ordinary ornamental flowers and plants, plus the necessary stone tables and stone chairs, in addition, there was nothing else.

He stood in the courtyard and hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the house, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, and a few lines of ink under the gray sky blended into the night.

This push of the door touches a certain mechanism, and when one thing after another begins to operate, this mechanism is not complicated, it can even be said to be simple, but this does not prevent it from deceiving people. The hollow beads rolling on the ink line rolled downward, hitting the copper ball that had been hanging there for a long time, making a soft "ding" sound.

The sound was not loud enough to reach out of the yard, but it was enough to wake up the people who were sleeping.

"Who?" The female voice in the room rang out, and then there was a murmuring sound, probably a cloak walking out.

Before he could speak, he noticed as if there was a gust of wind around him, and immediately reacted, and reached out and grabbed her wrist, which was grasped, but the silver needle between his fingers was less than an inch away from his eyes at this time.

The tip of the silver needle was blackened, apparently quenched with poison.

Recognizing him, the girl in the robe was a little surprised: "Pei Zongzhi, why are you?" Then she looked at the sky, "It's too late, why did you come to me?" ”

Pei Zongzhi let go of her wrist, the girl withdrew her hand, put away the silver needle, and looked at him, as if she was a little puzzled: "Aren't you going to leave early in the morning?" He didn't take any of his baggage, but before he left, he ran to her.

Visiting the boudoir at night? It sounds like it's imaginative, but thinking of someone like Pei Zongzhi, Wei Yaoqing automatically put away Fang Cai's nonsense, looked at him and said, "What are you doing here with me?" ”

Pei Zongzhi was silent for a moment and asked her, "Do you want to come with me?" ”

Ha? The drowsiness on Wei Yaoqing's body disappeared in an instant.

……

As soon as the sky was bright, there were already two people walking on the imperial road of the imperial city.

"Have you really figured it out?" The girl asked in a low voice, her eyes looking around smartly, "This is the second time." Your Majesty will inevitably be suspicious, and when the time comes, you and I will be counted as grasshoppers on the same boat. It's not easy to get on a thief ship and get down. ”

She didn't mind saying that about herself at all, Pei Zongzhi said, but her face didn't change, she just hummed and said, "Think about it." ”

"Oops!" The girl rubbed her forehead, and there was a little more triumphant smile on her face, "I'm not embarrassed!" ”

Pei Zongzhi glanced at the girl who said "I'm not embarrassed" on the side, but her eyes were shining: "You killed someone yesterday, everything else can be covered, this injury can't be covered." It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, don't you know what it means to kill by mistake rather than let go? ”

Wei Yaoqing spread her hands and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to take a sneak look, it was that guard who had a ghost in his heart, and wanted to kill me as soon as he saw me, and he didn't say anything, isn't it a ghost in his heart?" Besides, I was wounded, but I was lucky, and he was the one who died. ”

Pei Zongzhi looked ahead: "Then it's good to hide from Beijing by order, the time before and after is enough for you to heal your injuries." ”

Wei Yaoqing asked him: "I guess there were a lot of regular customers in the Jinluan Palace in the teahouse yesterday, isn't it?" ”

Pei Zongzhi nodded: "There is such a possibility, I don't know." "Yesterday, he wasn't there.

The court is intricately intertwined, so many officials appear there, some may have a relationship with Li Xiuyuan early on, and some of them were known later, and these have to be investigated slowly. Of course, she knew that Pei Zongzhi let her go was actually for her, and it was better to take a step back than to go further at this time.

"Oh, that's a pity!" The girl sighed, rubbed her brows, and looked regretful, "If I could, I would like to follow Li Xiuyuan for a while longer, maybe I can find something." ”

"Is this," Pei Zongzhi slowed down, looked at her and thought for a moment: "You don't have to worry, I think he won't do anything really unsightly during this period of time." ”

"Why?"

Pei Zongzhi said: "In order to catch the murderer who may be secretly following him, Pei Xingting is ready to find someone to follow him together, and if he finds the trace of the murderer, wait for the opportunity to take it." ”

"Murderer" Wei Yaoqing was dumbfounded when she heard this: This is really a stroke of genius!

There were many high-ranking officials and nobles in the dynasty, although it was said that there were some old feuds between the Zhang family and the ancestors of the Pei family, but in fact, it was true that the Zhang family was wiped out, and the Pei family, who had not yet entered the Shi at that time, was indeed the only one who could not interfere. Since it is impossible to intervene, then this time the Pei family will definitely not care about any old feelings, and if Li Xiuyuan really had any shady transactions back then, he would indeed not be exposed in front of the Pei family.

When she reacted, she asked, "Did you do it?" Could it be that Pei Xiangye was also in the teahouse yesterday? "If Pei Xiangye is also there, although most of her original speculations are correct, some may be wrong. Yesterday, Li Xiuyuan should have seen a group of high-ranking officials and magnates in the current dynasty, not the person who contacted Li Xiuyuan early in the case of the Zhang family's extermination. Of course, this person may also be among the same group yesterday. This also explains why those people refused to show up yesterday, and it is still the Son of Heaven who is afraid! Although it may not be possible to hide it from the Son of Heaven, it is still necessary to hide it among the people, and the people are the most likely to be provoked. It is difficult to ensure that it will not be used by people with intentions to make a big fuss, and at that time, it will really be a big Chu internal and external trouble.

In this way, it was the right time for her to leave, but she accidentally bumped into the private gathering of high-ranking officials and magnates, and now the high-ranking officials and magnates above the court are thinking about how to deal with His Majesty's attack this morning!

Pei Zongzhi nodded, and his always indifferent face showed an indescribable look: "He trusts me very much." After a pause, he added, "Of course, this matter is also good for himself, these people may be united by certain things, but their positions are still different in the end." ”

Wei Yaoqing looked up at the imperial study not far away: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would get up so early." ”

Pei Zongzhi said: "Your Majesty didn't sleep all night. Although what you stumbled into by mistake is not what you are looking for, it is something that Your Majesty cares about, and there will be a bloody storm in the court today, I will take you away at this time, and Your Majesty will not do much to stop it. He said and glanced at her, "But since you were able to follow Li Xiuyuan without being discovered, I thought you would kill him." ”

Wei Yaoqing shook his head: "He can't die now, there are still people behind him." ”
