Chapter 127: Empress Wu Tian angered the people of the rivers and lakes
The groggy Bai Ran endured the sharp pain in his head, cleared his throat, the bitterness and thirst from his mouth made him feel extremely uncomfortable, looking at the endless darkness around him, he must be in the dungeon of the palace at this moment, right?
"Alas, it's all my fault for my incompetence, not only did I fail to save the adults, but I even planted myself in. ”
Just as Bai Ran was whispering to himself, another familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Bai Ran, but Bai Ran?"
There was a hint of frustration in this low voice, which showed that this person's state of mind at this time was as bad as his own.
"Who are you, how do you know my name?"
Due to the difficulty of moving due to the binding of his hands and feet, Bai Ran could only use all his strength to rub his body slowly on the ground, but how far could he go forward? It was just a drop in the bucket in the vast darkness.
"I'm Di Renjie, why were you caught by them?"
As soon as he confessed his identity here, the voice immediately became a little excited, but this excitement was only fleeting, and then it returned to its previous frustration.
"But you, sir?"
"Great, everyone is safe now, no matter what, it's a blessing in misfortune!"
As soon as the two of them started talking, two slightly excited voices appeared in the corner, and from this tone, Bai Ran could naturally distinguish that it was Liu Yiran and Mo Ruqi who were arranged to answer outside the palace?
"Brother Liu, Brother Mo, why are you also imprisoned?"
Originally, he was full of hope for the two of them, but when this familiar sound sounded again, Bai Ran instantly felt that everything was lost, if he had known this, it would have been better to come alone.
"Alas, don't mention it. Since your letter arrow was released, the two of us looked for the horses and were about to gallop back to Dali Temple, but there were many officers and soldiers on the way, and they divided into several teams to block all the intersections where they came and went, and finally the two of us decided to walk, walk the mountain road to try to bypass the checkpoint. ”
Liu Yiran was only halfway through the words, and was picked up by the "clever ghost" Mo Ruqi and said: "Don't mention this bad idea, we just went up the mountain, and after a short time, we bumped into two people in the rivers and lakes, and after a fight, the two of us were not their opponents at all, so they were captured alive and taken back." ”
"Haha, on weekdays, a few of you always boast of your martial arts in the house, but now how come you are really used but are compared to others, what else do you have to say now?"
At this very tense moment, Di Renjie seemed to have changed in an instant, and after learning that everyone had been captured, he changed his previous frustration and learned to make jokes about the three of them.
"Ahem, my lord, now that we are all trapped in and have lost contact with the outside, what should we do next?" Bai Ran coughed lightly twice, forcibly bringing the topic back on track.
"Yes, my lord, I don't know where this dark place is, what are we going to do next?"
Hearing Bai Shaoqing's words, Liu Yiran and Mo Ruqi also asked in unison.
Faced with this tricky question, Di Renjie didn't answer it immediately, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "The current situation is obvious to everyone, and all we can do is wait. ”
"What are you waiting for, my lord, don't sell it at this juncture. ”
Liu resolutely had a straight temperament, and when he heard this somewhat confusing reply, he couldn't help but continue to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"What else can you wait for? Of course, someone is coming to the rescue! Don't look at my body trapped here, but if there is no Dali Temple in that court, the Queen of Heaven will definitely send someone down to find it, and then it will be the day of our beginning?"
"That being said, ...... I always felt that something wasn't quite right. ”
"Nonsense, can't you even believe what adults say?" Mo Ruqi still wanted to open his mouth and ask again, but he didn't want to be carried out by Di Renjie out of his identity, so he forcibly held back the words that came to his mouth. ”
"Hey, you guys, what are you arguing about? You're already dying, and you still have the heart to talk here, I really don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Hearing his tone, everyone seemed to be the person in charge of guarding this cell, so Qi Xiao's eyes rolled, and he simply set his tone to see if he could get some clues.
I saw him raise his head and shout loudly in the darkness in the direction from which the voice came: "Hmph, what kind of thing are you? Dare to imprison the imperial court officials privately, I'm afraid that you will not be able to eat the heart of a bear and a leopard?"
"Hehe, the imperial court official, you don't go to inquire about what kind of place this is, let alone what kind of petty officials and officials, even if Wu Meiniang next to the emperor comes in person, you can take care of it. ”
"Whoa......
As soon as the man's words fell, an unknown liquid splashed down, wetting everyone's clothes. Out of curiosity, Liu resolutely dipped his hand under his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly scolded: "You bastard who thundered and split this day, you dare to splash your grandfather with urine, see if I go out and don't break your dog's legs!"
He roared hysterically, but there was no movement on it, neither returning his mouth nor making a sound, as if this had never happened, but the hot-tempered Liu resolutely was half angry.
......
Three days later, above the court, the emperor and the queen of heaven sat side by side, facing the civil and military officials and asked: "How can this really be the case, Di Renjie, the secretary of Dali Temple, was ordered to investigate the case but did not know where to go, do you have any news of him?"
Hearing this, none of the ministers knew about it, only a few old ministers who had seen him at the palace banquet that day wanted to go out to play, but they didn't move fast as King Li Zhen, and he took the lead.
"Qi Qi Sheng, Di Renjie, as the secretary of Dali Temple, is familiar with the law of our dynasty, and he resolutely did not dare to be absent from work with a few courages, but now he has not seen him come to the court for many days, I am afraid that he has encountered an accident. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks what King Yue said is reasonable. On the occasion of this eventful autumn, he Dali Temple is responsible for investigating the case of the death of the previous minister, and he may not have mastered any important clues, and it is unknown if the thief dared to kill him. ”
The person who spoke was Tongzhou Thorn Shi Huang Gong, this guy has always worn a pair of pants with Li Zhen on weekdays, and when he saw the prince coming out to play, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to come over and pat his ass, and help him by the way.
After all, it is a member of the clan, and when Gaozong Li Zhi saw that the imperial brother said this, he believed it to be true, and immediately Long Yan said angrily: "Qiankun Langlang, you dare to assassinate my ministers again and again, where is the right doctor Zhu Jing? I order you to bring the real culprit to justice within half a month, and if there is any delay, you should be punished as a bully." ”
As soon as his will was spoken, the Queen of Heaven frowned, as if she was full of worries about His Majesty's arrangement.
