Chapter 299: Throwing Yourself into the Net
It was already close to curfew, and Jiu'er's carriage should be returning to the inner chamber at this time.
But Jiu'er had no intention of returning to the palace, but drove towards the Black Rock District.
Chen Tian had been following the carriage far away from the night, but he would not lose it.
As far as Chen Tian's tracking methods were concerned, even the eldest grandson was surprised.
In terms of tracking alone, Chen Tian was even more powerful than those martial artists who could hide their figures.
The carriage traveled for about half an hour and arrived at its destination.
The eldest grandson was a little surprised, the place where Jiu'er came actually knew him, it was Dean Wu's blacksmith shop.
Chen Tian also felt a little surprised, isn't this the shop where he followed that boy two days ago?
Jiu'er got out of the car, stood in front of the shop and waited for a while, the door of the shop opened, and Yun Xuezhi walked out of it.
"It's him......"
Chen Tian was a little shocked, it was really the Gongzi brother he followed last time, and at the same time, Chen Tian lowered his body, afraid that he would be discovered by this Gongzi brother like last time.
Jiu'er looked at the handsome Yun Xuezhi in front of him, even if he had just experienced a physical collision with Tang Huaide, he couldn't help but praise "What a handsome man" in his heart.
After coming back to his senses, Jiu'er began to talk about business.
"Jiu'er has seen Lord Yun."
Jiu'er saluted Yun Xuezhi in a regular manner.
Yun Xuezhi had already been informed by Jiu'er's messenger before, and he also knew Jiu'er's identity, so he didn't dare to trust it.
After Yun Xuezhi returned the courtesy, he went straight to the point, after all, he was still meeting women outside during this time period, even if it was the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty now, it would attract unnecessary criticism.
"I wonder why Miss Jiu'er came to visit late at night?"
"Lord Yun has been in charge of Tang Huai'an's case recently, just looking at the working environment, Lord Yun's hard work little woman can know a thing or two, and when she returns to the palace, the little woman will definitely report the adult's merits to the master truthfully."
Yun Xuezhi frowned, he was doing things for the current emperor, and he didn't want to please the eldest princess.
But Yun Xuezhi was not stunned, so he didn't refuse sternly, so he thanked him.
Jiu'er cut to the chase.
"The master knows that Tang Huai'an's case is really difficult to decide, so he sent a little girl to ask the adults what is the difficulty?"
Yun Xuezhi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Jiu'er meant.
"Thank you for your kindness, the princess, it is an honor for the student to serve the court, and now that there is no progress in the case, how dare you open your mouth to ask the princess."
Jiu'er nodded, Yun Xuezhi's respect for the eldest princess in his words was not bad, but in Jiu'er's opinion, he was not very smart.
With her understanding of the eldest princess, she would generally have such an arrangement, which must be to win over Yun Xuezhi.
And with the character of the eldest princess, as long as you open your mouth at this time, the eldest princess will inevitably send down favors, and then you will be regarded as the eldest princess's person.
And Yun Xuezhi rejected the kindness of the eldest princess, that is, he rejected the "invitation" handed by the princess.
Jiu'er smiled and said nothing, planning to take the carriage back to the palace.
It's just that before getting into the carriage, he turned around and said to Yun Xuezhi, "By the way, the master specially instructed ......."
"Tang Huai'an's death is not a simple murder, adults can start from what he did before and see if there will be any gains......
"At that point, the princess will be deciding if she needs the princess's help."
After finishing speaking, Jiu'er got in the car and left.
And Yun Xuezhi in the middle of the night didn't leave for a long time, I don't know if he regretted that he had rejected the eldest princess's kindness before, or he was trying to figure out what Jiu'er's words meant......
……
In the next few days, Chen Tian had no time to investigate what Jiu'er's backhand was.
Because Lu Si was arrested!
At this time, Chen Tian was a little scared.
Chen Tian understands Lu Si, Lu Si is timid and afraid of things, especially himself, as long as the arresters start to interrogate Lu Si, it is estimated that there is no need to use the punishment, he will immediately kill
It's all recruited.
Lu Si still doesn't know that there are so many things involved behind this bag of treasures, and if he recruits it at that time, neither of them will have a chance of survival.
Now the top priority is to find a way to tell Lu Si that he must keep his mouth shut!
After thinking about it, Chen Tian had no way to pass the news to Lu Si in prison.
"There's only one way!"
Chen Tian, who had nothing to do, decided to throw himself into the net and let himself be arrested, only in this way could he have a chance to meet Lu Si.
But before being arrested again, Chen Tian did one more thing.
"Nine Flowers, Fei Lan Pei is good. There is no one in the empty valley, and I complain about myself. Bao Se Ling Eternal Tune. Zhu Si's strings are broken, and there are few friends."
This poem of the eldest princess spread throughout the imperial capital overnight, and became a golden sentence that literati have been vying to recite in the past few days.
And the most amazing thing is that a cloth village in the imperial capital, at the first time when the poem was recited, there was a batch of cloth embroidered with this poem.
The sales of cloth took advantage of the "east wind" of the verse, and it soared for a while.
All this was exactly what Chen Tian did, but the original idea was to confuse Tang Huaide and Jiu'er.
With the continuous influx of cloth embroidered with this poem on the market, the matter of this belly pocket naturally becomes less important.
When Tang Huaide and the others feel that this matter is no longer so tricky, the loss of property will naturally become a trivial matter, and it is estimated that the two of them will not be so concerned.
After all, a belly pocket, even if the thief is caught in the end, it will be a great loss to the reputation of the two of them if this matter is spread, but it is more appropriate to cover it up quietly like now.
After solving Tang Huaide and the others, the next thing to solve is only Dali Temple.
Because of Tang Huaide's absurd reasons, Dali Temple will inevitably spare no effort to arrest him, but he only needs to hold on until Tang Huai'an's case is solved, and Dali Temple will naturally no longer bother with his little thief.
Thinking about all this, the next thing Chen Tian had to do was to "take risks", go deep into the prison, find a way to get close to Lu Si, and tell him to hold on, as long as they survive this time, the two of them will have endless "glory and wealth".
For a person with a criminal record like Chen Tian, it is now such a tense moment, and it is too simple to go to prison.
Without much effort, Chen Tian was arrested and imprisoned by the Yamen.
Chen Tian was shackled with his hands and feet and followed behind a jailer.
This jailer walked in front of him, and in the past two days, there have been countless thieves like Chen Tian who have been caught in prison.
However, Chen Tian was lucky, he had several encounters with this jailer, and he also gave this official "filial piety" when he went to prison.
Chen Tian immediately seized the opportunity and trotted behind the jailer.
"Lord, lord, official......"
The jailer ignored Chen Tian, and Chen Tian simply grabbed the jailer's sleeve.
"Ah, what do you kid want to do? I want to die!"
The jailer immediately took out the whip from his waist and gave Chen Tian two blows.
Chen Tian used his body to block while shouting, "The official is merciful, it's me, the thief Chen Tian, I have honored you before......
Where did the jailer still remember Chen Tian, when he heard Chen Tian's words, he stopped the whipping in his hand, and looked at it fixedly, and he was really impressed.
"Oh, it's you, it's in again."
Chen Tianbao said with a smile that he took advantage of this kung fu to hurriedly step forward, took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff, and wanted to stuff it to the jailer.
When the jailer saw Chen Tian coming up, he was about to whip again, but Chen Tian hurriedly lit up the silver in his hand, and the jailer gave up.
The jailer pulled back his cuffs and turned his head to look around, observing if there were any colleagues around.
Chen Tian understood, hurriedly leaned over, and stuffed the broken silver in his hand into the jailer's sleeve.
"Well, let's talk about it, what do you want to ask the master for?"
Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in this place, the jailer is the master, if you don't open your mouth to help you after receiving the money, you will have no problem.
"Don't dare to trouble the master, the thief has a good brother who also entered this prison a few days ago, Xiang Lao
The annoying master arranged for me to be in a cell with this brother......
The jailer glanced at Chen Tian, but he was a thief who knew each other, and it was not difficult to ask for it, so he agreed to it.
In this way, Chen Tian spent some effort and finally found Lu Si in the cell.
When Lu Si saw that Chen Tian was also imprisoned, he thought that the matter was exposed, and his heart was like ashes, he had helped Chen Tian keep his mouth shut these days, and there was no point in keeping secrets, but he would be implicated as an accomplice.
Chen Tian didn't expect that Lu Si hadn't confessed himself until now, and there was a little feeling of surprise and a little touch.
"Alright, stop chattering, be quiet, and listen to me."
Chen Tian interrupted Lu Si's chatter.
"The matter has not been revealed, the next most important thing for us is to be patient, we must not tell the treasure about it, otherwise we will ......all die."
Then Chen Tian told Lu Si about the events of the past two days, and Lu Si first sat down on the ground in fright.
He never thought that he just wanted to get a piece of the pie from Chen Tian, and he would be involved in a murder case.
"Lu Si, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, as long as the slightest rumor is revealed, we will both die and have no place to be buried!"
Lu Si, who calmed down, could only choose to go to the dark with Chen Tian.
Because there were too many thieves who were locked in prison during this time, Chen Tian and Lu Si were not interrogated several times in the past few days, and each time they went through the motions.
It wasn't until a few days later that Chen Tian found that the atmosphere in the cell had changed, and all the cellmates next to him had been cleared out, and then a new person had moved in.
"It's him!"
Chen Tian and the eldest grandson felt a shock at the same time.
The newcomer who lived next to Chen Tian and Lu Si turned out to be Yun Xuezhi!
"Childe ......"
When Chen Tian saw his acquaintance, he couldn't help but step forward to say hello.
Yun Xuezhi turned his head and looked at Chen Tian and the others who were locked up next to him, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to them.
Yun Xuezhi once changed from a champion to a prisoner, and his mood was already extremely low, how could he be in the mood to deal with the two thieves.
"Brother Tian'er, do you know?"
Lu Si asked curiously.
Chen Tian then told Lu Si about his previous tracking of Yun Xuezhi and his last discovery in the Black Rock District.
"Phew, what kind of son, isn't this the same as us who was locked up here, and he looks arrogant, who is he going to show it......
A low-level person like Lu Si already has an innate inferiority complex and resistance to those in high positions, and at this time, seeing Yun Xuezhi, who is also in trouble, only has a sense of pleasure of "Heavenly Reincarnation" in his heart.
Chen Tian didn't explain to Lu Si in the world, and what he was concerned about was why Yun Xuezhi was locked up here.
By eavesdropping on the conversation between Jiu'er and Yun Xuezhi that day, Chen Tian could deduce that the official who presided over Tang Huai'an's murder case was Yun Xuezhi in front of him.
So according to his own plan, whether Yun Xuezhi solves the case or not has also become the key to his escape.
