At the gate of Dali Temple, Pang Jing pointed to a servant not far away, "He will take Gu Gongzi in to see the prisoner, I will not accompany him, if you have any other people to see, you can tell me first, while there is still time, I can contact again." ”

Gu Shenwei felt a little strange, "I want to see the prisoner, I don't go to the cell, what are I doing in the yamen of Dali Temple?"

"Oh, the cell is so dirty, I asked them to bring the prisoners out, and...... Probably they want you to ask something, too, so arrange for a question in the yamen, which is more formal. ”

Pang Jing couldn't hold back the sourness and sarcasm in his tone, so he revealed the biggest flaw, Gu Shenwei immediately understood that there was a trap waiting for him in the yamen of Dali Temple, so he reached out and grabbed the reins of Pang Jing's horse, "Please come in with me." ”

"Me?" Pang Jing's face was slightly flustered, and he quickly covered it up, "It's not included in my duties, and it's not in line with convention. ”

"It's only been four days, where is the custom? I want to meet this captain before deciding who to see next, you can go in with me, it will save a lot of trouble, and it won't be very long. ”

"Ahem...... Pang Jing writhed twice on the saddle uneasily, "I'll wait outside, I, Zong Zhengqing, was appointed temporarily, and the official documents haven't gone through yet, and the yamen is not easy to receive ......"

Gu Shenwei insisted on not letting go of the reins, "If the yamen can receive me, it will naturally be able to receive you." ”

Pang Jing had no excuse, reluctantly dismounted, glanced at an entourage, and the entourage ran to the small official at the gate of Dali Temple with a smoke, and whispered a few words to him.

The doorman came to greet him, greeted the horse, and pretended not to see Gu Shenwei, this person from the Western Regions is a real headache for the Yamen, no one is sure what kind of etiquette to use when dealing with him, and I don't know if he will make a great contribution or become the first evil after the ten-day period, everyone has their own judgment, and the doorman of Dali Temple is obviously not optimistic about the Dragon King.

After entering the courtyard, the doorman spoke to Gu Shenwei for the first time, "The palace is heavy, and you are not allowed to carry weapons." ”

Gu Shenwei waited for a while, took off the narrow knife and handed it over, the doorman took it with both hands, and with a little force, he didn't take it over, and looked at the guest in surprise.

"I'm used to using this knife, and I'll have to come back when I come out. ”

"When, of course. The doorman was a little upset, "We won't force your stuff." As soon as the force on the scabbard loosened, he finally took the narrow knife and found that it was lighter than a normal single blade.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the main hall of Dali Temple was empty, and the doorman said, "I'll go and bring the prisoners." He turned and walked away with the knife in his hand.

Pang Jing pretended to look around relaxedly, "I don't know how many prisoners have been interrogated here, but it's my first time here, and there doesn't seem to be anything special." ”

"There's a murderous aura. ”

"What?" Pang Jing's face turned pale.

"I said there was murder here. ”

"Prisoners are often tortured here. Pang Jing was cramped and uneasy, turned around, and said loudly: "Dali Temple is really rude, even if the officials don't come forward, they don't even provide a stool, just let us stand for interrogation?"

The prisoner arrived quickly, the doorman did not show up, and the prisoner was escorted by two jailers and a man who looked like a master.

The prisoner had obviously endured a lot of hardships, and as soon as he entered the hall, he collapsed on the ground, and the master was dressed in cloth, with three locks of beard hanging down his chest, holding a folding fan in his hand, and took a step forward, and said to Pang Jing first: "Why did the horse come in person? ”

Pang Jing hurriedly supported the master who was about to bow down, "Sir, don't be polite, uh, this is Gu Shenwei from the Western Regions, Gu Gongzi, this is the guest of Dali Temple, Mr. Lu." ”

Mr. Lu arched his hand to Gu Shenwei and pointed to the prisoner on the ground, "This is the person Gu Gongzi wants to see, Zhang Zhi, the captain of Yulin, if he has something to ask, if he has a hard mouth and someone beats him, as long as he does not die, let Gu Gongzi dispose of it." ”

"Good. ”

Mr. Lu held Pang Jing's wrist and wanted to take him away, he felt that it was inappropriate, and said with a smile: "I don't see the horse in Xiaduo, I have been longing for it for a long time, and I want to have a few private chats, does Gu Gongzi have something to do with him here?"

"It's fine. Gu Shenwei stretched out his arms, made a gesture of invitation, and suddenly made a move, holding Pang Jing with his left hand and grasping Mr. Lu with his right hand.

Mr. Lu obviously doesn't know martial arts, Pang Jing used to be very interested in martial arts, but after Luo Qikang's death, he wasted his practice, and at this time he was not much better than ordinary people.

The two jailers were taken aback, leaving the prisoner behind, and were about to rush up to the savior, Gu Shenwei shouted sharply: "Stand down!" The two looked at each other, but they did not dare to step forward.

Pang Jing was furious, "Gu Shenwei, what do you mean by this?"

Mr. Lu also smiled bitterly: "Gu Gongzi's hands are lighter, and he wants to leave the horse, so he can open his mouth, but he is a scholar, and he can't compare to his wrist strength." ”

"You like more than guts. Gu Shenwei ignored Pang Jing and only looked at this Mr. Lu.

"Gu Gongzi thinks too highly of me, Lu Mou, a small staff member, is scared when he sees the torture tools, how dare he compare his courage with you?"

Gu Shenwei took a step forward and said to the two jailers: "With the skills of the two of them, being a jailer is too condescending, it is better to go to the Western Regions, and I will promote you to be a general." ”

The jailer was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu sighed and said, "It's none of your business here, step down." ”

The two jailers bowed yes and slowly exited the lobby.

"Does Gu Gongzi know who I am?" asked Mr. Lu.

"Yulin General Luo Cong. Gu Shenwei replied affirmatively.

"Hehe, Gu Gongzi has good eyesight, it seems that I should follow the advice and let someone else wear this cloth clothes. ”

"If you are good at the top, you will be very bad at the bottom, the princess dares to be adventurous, and the general who does not know martial arts will naturally be in danger, and you should not wear military boots. ”

Luo Cong's expression was a little stiff, and he glanced down at the leather boots that did not match the cloth clothes, he was a dignified Yulin general, in charge of 100,000 soldiers, and he was actually trapped in the hands of a person from the Western Regions, and it was a big scandal to spread it, "What is Gu Gongzi going to do?"

Gu Shenwei let go of his hand, "It's better to meet by chance, I was going to meet with the captain, of course it's better to talk to the general." ”

"Haha. Luo Cong rubbed his wrist gently, "This chance encounter is very good, because I also have some things to ask Gu Gongzi." ”

Pang Jing stood aside, his face was pale, the scene he was looking forward to was that Gu Shenwei was surrounded by a group of masters, and confessed all his crimes in the main hall of this Dali Temple, instead of an equal conversation, as long as there was a confession, the Empress Dowager would no longer protect this person from the Western Regions.

"Are you Yulin Captain Zhang Zhi?" Gu Shenwei asked, Luo Cong and Pang Jing glanced at each other, and neither dared to take a step far.

The prisoner was trembling all the time, and what scared him was not only the torture, but also the top boss Luo Cong, this literati general had no power to resist in the hands of Gu Shenwei, but for Captain Yulin Sun, it was in the hands of people.

"Yes, villain Zhang Zhi. ”

"Did you bring the killer into the palace?"

"No, the villain is wronged, I don't know anything about how the killer got in. ”

"I haven't confessed for a month, this is rare in Dali Temple, right?" asked Gu Shenwei.

Pang Jing didn't squeak, and Luo Cong said: "Zhang Zhi's bones are hard, he is my subordinate, I believe in his words." ”

Zhang Zhi kowtowed, "The general saves me, the general saves me, it's not that the villain is hard-hearted, it's really impossible to confess......"

Luo Cong waved his hands and took a step back, "I believe in you, but I can't interfere with the trial of Dali Temple, and I don't know when even I will be imprisoned." You beg me to beg Gu Gongzi, he is the inquisitor appointed by the emperor, and you have also seen that even me and the concubine are subject to him. ”

Zhang Zhi saw what happened just now, heard the call of his boss, crawled to Gu Shenwei's feet, held his ankle, and burst into tears, "Gu Gongzi Mingjian, the assassination has nothing to do with me. ”

"The assassination took place near the Imperial City, which is the scope of your inspection, you are always guilty of negligence, right?"

"I said a long time ago, I received an order that day not to patrol around Yechi, saying that it was ...... It is said that there are nobles in the palace who want to go there for a night tour, and they have their own guards to protect them. ”

"A nobleman in the palace?"

"Probably a noble person like a concubine. ”

"Who gave you the order?"

Zhang Zhi raised his head, his face was full of confusion and horror, in the past month, he has been frequently planted on this issue, "An adult in the palace and the palace said that it was Yan Changshou's commandment, I think he came out of the palace, and he was followed by several guards, so he didn't ask much." ”

Luo Cong interjected: "Zhang Zhi has hard bones, but soft ears, a word will let you withdraw the guards?" Stupid, too stupid, no wonder Dali Temple doesn't believe you." ”

Zhang Zhi's face was flushed, the palace occupied a vast area, and it had never been a key inspection area, and Yulinjun had always been obedient to the eunuchs in the palace, but he didn't expect something big to happen to him, but he didn't even know when the prince of Xiao Wang would stay in the palace, how could he think that the assassin would come that night?

"Have you been to the scene since the incident?" asked Gu Shenwei as he continued.

"Nope. Zhang Zhi was even more ashamed, he was not well informed in the prison, and he still did not figure out all the facts of that night, only that Xiao Wang Shizi and several entourages were killed.

"He said that Yan Qin had issued an edict, had Dali Temple inquired about it?" Gu Shenwei asked Luo Cong.

Luo Cong lowered his head and pondered, and took another step, "I haven't inquired about Yan Changshi himself, but the records of the four palace gates and the eunuchs in charge clearly show that there were no eunuchs going out that day. ”

"There is one, and there is one. Zhang Zhi shouted loudly, it was a matter of his surname, and he didn't care about the presence of his boss, "If I see him again, I will definitely be able to recognize him, he has a square face, small eyes, and a small nose, he is not very old, he is in his twenties, he is not too tall, and his face is rubbed with powder, I can recognize him." ”

"Is there such a person in the palace?" Gu Shenwei asked Luo Cong again.

"It's about the honor of Yulin Jun, I am also very concerned about this case, Dali Temple has carefully investigated, and a total of three people with similar appearances were found from the palace, but they all have inconsistent characteristics, and they are all ordinary miscellaneous servants, and they have no power to go out of the palace to give orders, let alone have guards to follow. ”

"Let me look at it, and I can recognize it. Zhang Zhi shouted, this is all his request, but it has not been met.

"Yan Chang didn't allow eunuchs to leave the palace, but now...... Maybe there is a turnaround. Luo Cong had apparently heard the news of Yan Qin's assassination.

Gu Shenwei took a step back, got rid of Zhang Zhi's hands, and glanced around, "Let the others stand back, General Luo can ask me questions." ”

Luo Cong smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and seven or eight strong-armed guards appeared from the back hall, roof, and under the table, saluted the general, exited the lobby, and carried the prisoner Zhang Zhi away by the way.

"I'm General Yulin, and I only care about one thing. Luo Cong didn't feel that today's plan was a complete failure, he still had a follow-up move, "That is the safety of the capital." I am very surprised that the Ten Directions Sect has appeared outside the city, but more and more people from the rivers and lakes are gathering in the capital, which makes me feel even more strange, these people either claim to seek revenge against you, or they want to unite with you, which makes me unable to sleep at night. What kind of magical power does Gu Gongzi have that can make the entire rivers and lakes revolve around you?" (To be continued.) )
