Almost as soon as Li Shao finished speaking, the saint stood up suddenly.

In a hurry, he knocked down a stack of folds at hand, and scattered them on the ground.

The saint didn't care about this, he just looked at Li Shao for a moment, and there seemed to be a buzzing sound in his ears, which made him not dare to believe what he heard.

Outside, Gonggong Cao, who was carefully watching, was also stunned.

After serving the saint for many years, he knows too well what Dingguo Temple means to the saint.

The saint has never given up the pursuit of the truth, but it is a pity that there has been no harvest for more than ten years, and now, the peak is turning.

Supposedly, he should go and clean up the folds on the floor, but now is not the right time to go in and disturb them.

Gonggong Cao hesitated, and saw that the Duke of Fuguo moved.

Xu Jian walked to the big case, bent down to pick up the folds, sorted them out one by one, and finally put them on the case.

After doing this, he stepped back and walked to Lin Yunyan's side, without saying much.

The saint's eagerness gradually calmed down in the process, or rather, he tried his best to calm his mind.

"Shao'er wait first, let me be stable." As he spoke, he stood leaning over with his hands on the big case, his eyes lowered, looking at the desk with many things but not messy, and taking a few deep breaths.

The breathing sound is heavy enough to see emotions.

It's not that I'm not in a hurry, but the saint clearly knows that this is the most unhurried time.

Mistakes will be made in a hurry, and he must restrain his temper.

After he thought he could, the saint looked at Li Shao again and rolled his throat: "Shao'er, let's start with the Qianfu, I will listen to the Qianfu first."

Li Shao was very surprised.

Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian exchanged a look, and they both comprehended the Saint's thoughts.

It is precisely because of the importance that we will be more cautious and self-denial, and we will take out other problems in advance and go all out for Dingguo Temple.

And Li Shao couldn't think of this, which can be regarded as his character.

Li Shao mostly thinks about one thing at a time, what he values is the most urgent, and he can't understand the way of doing things like the saint.

"Don't you want to hear about Jokokuji Temple?" Li Shao asked in surprise, "It's not easy for Erchen to remember."

The saint repeated, "Of course I want to hear it, but you talk about Qianfu first."

Li Shao couldn't resist his father, and told him what happened tonight according to his words.

The saint's face was very gloomy.

The Qianfu was struck by lightning, and it fell in the main courtyard, it was not just that the house was damaged, this matter really had to be dispersed, not only the capital was lively, but the whole world had to be lively.

The only thing that can make the saint "happy" is that Shao'er recalled the truth through this encounter.

Li Shao finally talked from the overturned oil lamp to Dingguo Temple.

Xu just said it to Lin Yunyan not long ago, Li Shao opened his mouth this time, his thinking was much clearer, and the fear and fear in his tone were less, and he focused on the monkey-faced eunuch.

"Erchen is sure that he has seen him before, but he must not be the mother and Erchen who work by his side, otherwise Erchen will be familiar with him, not a stranger."

"Ke Erchen slept in a daze, he didn't think about it that much at all, and it was too late for him to reveal his fierce appearance."

"Father, the son doesn't want to do that, he let the lamp that the son took was hot, and the son couldn't hold it at all!"

"Erchen can't break free, can't run, can't shout......

Rao is Xu Jian was prepared in his heart, and when he heard Li Shao say that the process of the night, it was inevitable that his breathing would be tight.

He looked at the saint, the palm of the saint holding on the big case had been clenched into a fist, his jaw collapsed into a line, and the whole person trembled.

He turned his head to look at Lin Yunyan again.

The little county lord had heard it once, but his eyes were still red at the moment, and his lips were curling.

Xu Jian took a step to her side.

When I listened to it for the first time, I had to feel how turbulent it was.

She can't let her emotions lead her nose, she must control herself and use words to guide Li Shao to say more guilt

Feeling.

It's no wonder she picks her palms like that......

Quietly raising his hand, Xu Jian gently stroked Lin Yunyan's back, again and again.

Lin Yunyan felt it, raised her eyes to look at her, her beautiful and clear eyes on weekdays seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, full of moisture.

Xu Jian sighed secretly.

was supposed to comfort her, but unfortunately it was either in Li Shao's carriage or in front of the emperor, and she was powerless.

I can only bear with it for the time being, and then I will talk about it in detail when there are only the two of them.

Li Shao's narration has reached the end, and the voice that involuntarily increased in the middle gradually became smaller, revealing a thick sadness and guilt.

"Father," he muttered, "Before coming back, the retainers only told Ning An, and they didn't startle the snake, and they definitely didn't leak the news, Father, can you find out the monkey-faced eunuch?" Can you avenge them for the queen mother?"

The Holy Lord let out a long sigh.

He was panicked and puffed up, if not, his chest seemed to explode in the next moment.

And this long sigh was only a little relieved, and it was blocked again before it was comfortable for a few breaths.

"Find, I'm digging three feet into the ground to find out that eunuch!" The saint gritted his teeth.

Before, there were no clues.

Even the Queen Mother and Chengyi Bo accepted the unexpected conclusion, saying that it was a last resort, or that they were forcing themselves to look forward, trapped in an old case without the slightest clue, what use could they have except pain?

But this doesn't mean that you really see it and let it go.

If he really comes out of the haze, even if he still does not continue the strings, he will not change his attitude of actively discussing politics and only take up a temporary position in the Hanlin Academy.

The Holy One understands sincerity very well.

Lin Yu is the head of the family, both old and young, he can only do this.

Let yourself accept the "accident" and be down-to-earth so that everyone in the family can live a good life.

But now, the clues have emerged.

Once he has the direction to pursue, Lin Yu will never sit idly by.

The same is true of the Holy One.

"Monkey-faced, monkey-faced, was there a monkey-faced ...... among the eunuchs who went to Dingguo Temple back then?" he walked out from behind the big case and recalled with his hands behind his back.

He couldn't remember, so he called Gonggong Cao in: "Do you remember?"

Gonggong Cao twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while: "The little one didn't follow you at the time, and he wasn't so familiar with the manpower of Qianfu, but there were bottom files for the blessings of Dingguo Temple back then. After looking through the roster, the small ones should be able to gain something by asking about the correspondence one by one."

The saint listened and thought deeply: "The archive of the prayer trip should be in the Ministry of Rites, and the files of the life and death investigation after the accident are all available in Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the doors are locked at this hour, so you can go and get it yourself early tomorrow morning."

Gonggong Cao nodded in response.

"Holy Lord," Xu Jian saluted, "The minister thinks it's too much fanfare, I'm afraid it will startle the snake."

Shengshang Meiyu twisted into Sichuan characters, stared at Xu Jian for a while, did not blindly insist on his own opinions, and only asked him to say his thoughts specifically.

"The real culprit behind the monkey-faced eunuch, the mastermind of the attack on the town under the mountain, the *** sons of Wang Liuliu and Dao Heng," Xu Jian pondered and said seriously, "I still can't determine their true identities, and even no one dares to assert them.

In the opinion of the minister, he tends to do it by one person, or the minister feels that they should be guarded against being one person.

More than ten years have passed since the incident of Dingguo Temple, but Dao Heng did not die until last year, and their *** son is still making waves behind his back.

The man was scheming, cautious, and ruthless.

Wang was arrested in the sixth year, and if he didn't save him, Dao Heng just died in Sidao Hutong when he was targeted by Shuntianfu, and it was their own people who did it.

The yamen found out that the man's name was Wang Qi, and although he did not see the body, Bacheng was also dead.

It can be seen from the deaths of Dao Heng and Wang Qi that once he is targeted, he will choose to cut off his tail.

Such a person, when he noticed that you suddenly got a clue to Dingguo Temple, then he

We won't be shackled.

If the monkey-faced eunuch is still alive, and he kills people and hides the body, and we can't find it anywhere, even if he is so presumptuous as to throw the eunuch's body on the street and give it to you, do you really only want the one who did it?

Saint, it has been more than ten years since I waited for a clue, and if I lose this opportunity, I am afraid that the real murderer will not be found again."

When Xu Jian elaborated, Li Shao sometimes looked at him and sometimes looked at his father.

After Xu Jian finished speaking, Li Shao hurriedly said, "Father, we can't miss this opportunity!"

The saint naturally understood Xu Jian's train of thought, and nodded: "Then how do you say you want to check?"

"The minister and His Royal Highness are still in the Ministry of Rites, and the minister used to turn over some old files in the treasury to show His Highness, and tomorrow the minister will still be like this, and His Highness will write down the roster of travelers together and hand it over to Gonggong Cao," Xu Jian said solemnly, "I bother Gonggong Cao to check this first, and then there will be ten days and a half months, His Highness will move to the Criminal Department to observe the government, and he can still look at the old files of the Criminal Department in the name of righteousness."

If you can't find the monkey-faced eunuch, find another case for Dali Temple to open a warehouse, and investigate the case openly, but in fact, quietly turn over the case file you want to find."

Li Shao listened, quite anxious: "Ten days and half a month? Isn't it too slow?"

"Your Highness," Xu Jian persuaded, "I've been waiting for more than ten years, and slowness is also for stability."

"Just do as Xu Jian said." The saint made the final decision, and his eyes fell on Li Shao, and he also had a headache for a while.

Shao'er is the key to the clues, but Shao'er has never been thoughtful enough to do things, and it is easy to go wrong.

Thinking of this, the saint couldn't help but say a few more words: "Shao'er, you must remember not to be impatient, discuss with Xu Jian more in case of trouble, or come to look for me.

You bury this thing in your heart, don't talk to others, beware of the wall and ears.

Yes, let the people who are with you also avoid these things, and don't get involved in them, lest they get into trouble."

"Those who follow Erchen are also Wang Gouzi," Li Shao finished speaking, seeing that Shengshang's eyes were heavy, he still responded, "Erchen won't tell him, tomorrow Erchen and Xu Jian will transfer him when they look through the roster."

This is what the Holy One wants.

He patted Li Shao's shoulder and nodded again.

This matter requires patience, thoughtfulness and prudence, and I hope that Shao'er can make more progress through this matter.

The saint looked at Lin Yunyan again and said, "I won't summon your father alone tomorrow, you go back and talk to him, as for the queen mother......

Speaking of this, he was very hesitant, not only worried about the queen mother's body, but also very aware of the other party's temperament.

Thinking of the truth about Li Cang's death told her before, the Queen Mother was sad, but she was also calm.

"I promised her that I would do my best to find an answer," the Holy Lord sighed, "Ning'an, you find a suitable time to talk to her when the time comes."

Lin Yunyan thought for a while and said, "The palace gate is closed, I should stay in Cining Palace with Grandpa Guo tonight, I want to mention this matter to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible, maybe she will have an impression of the monkey-faced eunuch."

The Holy One listened, but there was no objection.

The general direction was set, and the saint calmed down, sat back behind the big case, and asked them all to sit down.

Father-in-law Cao came to change the new tea.

At this time, you don't have to worry about whether you can fall asleep after drinking too much, and you will not be able to sleep tonight.

"Shao'er," the saint asked, taking a sip, "what else can you remember?" It's as small as it gets, and when you think of it, you can say it."

Li Shao closed his eyes, trying to make himself reminisce.

"I've thought of everything I can think of." He said.

After Xu Jian asked the Holy Lord, he took the initiative to ask Li Shao, "Your Highness, why did the eunuch ask you to knock over the oil lamp? Since he set fire to kill, he doesn't need to go through your hands."

"How did I know about him," Li Shao said, "and he probably thinks I can't die?" I knocked over the oil lamp, and he hugged me, thinking that I was too young to tell the way? He covered my mouth and said that he was afraid that the smoke would choke me? He obviously did it on purpose!

But even if I knocked it over, I didn't have the intention to set it on fire!

He's talented

It's the real murderer!"

The more Xu Jian listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Li Shao's reaction didn't seem to be lying, but why was that wrong......

Not only Xu Jian, but Lin Yunyan also vaguely felt weird.

She had learned a lot of information about the water in Dingguo Temple from her father and Xu Jian, and at this time, she lowered her eyes, based on Li Shao's words, and the pictures flashed in her mind one by one.

Hey?

She remembered the ...... in the dormitory

Thinking about it, but she had to pretend that she didn't know so much about Dingguo Temple, Lin Yunyan asked, "In the main hall at that time, where did the first queen sleep? Where do you sleep? Where is my mother?"

didn't let Li Shao answer, Sheng Shang simply took the paper and drew two simple strokes.

The main hall is also a left and right five bays, but the bays are wider and there are no people in the middle.

"I live with the queen in the easternmost east room, Shao'er also lives in the westernmost room, and Mrs. Bo lives in the west room."

Li Shao shook his head: "I didn't rest with my mother that night, and when I woke up, it seemed like I was in the east room......

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed.

Saying this, the saint was also shocked.

This is also a situation that he didn't know before, everyone in the hall was killed, Li Shao was alive, but he didn't remember.

"Why did you sleep in the second room? Why did your queen mother let you take a break? The second room is for the night watchman," the holy lord asked, "You said that you got up to pee, and it was also in the second room?" What about knocking over the oil lamp?"

Li Shao's fingers moved slightly: "There is a toilet in the second room, it seems that it is in this seat, and I knocked over the oil lamp here."

After speaking, except for the ignorant Li Shao, everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.

"Even if there is something to combust, it will take time for the fire to burn," Lin Yunyan said, "My mother rested in the farthest west room, she was awakened by the fire, and she found the east room to save you, why didn't the first queen who slept in the east room and the grandmothers beside her wake up?"
