While we were talking, we had already arrived at Dali Temple.
Before getting out of the car, Lin Xiao took a thoughtful look at Qin Yao's makeup, called Wei Bo to come over and gave him a few instructions.
After Wei Bo took the order and left, he turned to Qin Yao and said: "There are many eyes and ears in Dali Temple. I asked Wei Bo to get a set of men's clothes. If you dress up as a man, it will be more convenient for you to walk in a while." some."
Qinyao nodded hurriedly: "That's exactly the reason."
The three of them were talking and waiting in the car. After a while, Wei Bo came back and brought back a set of men's clothes.
Lin Xiao then got out of the car with Ahan so that Qinyao could change clothes in the car.
Qin Yao unfolded it and saw that it was a round-neck, narrow-sleeved robe. The color was an unremarkable gray-blue, and the fabric was considered ordinary. Maybe because she had enough time this time, the size of her clothes fit much better than the ones she wore in Yuquan Mountain last time, and they would not bury most of Qin Yao's body. Her crotch was neither too big nor too small, so there was no risk of it being blown away by the wind at any time. .
After quickly finishing dressing up, Qin Yao lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Lin Xiao turned his head and looked Qin Yao up and down, and saw that she was wearing her bra neatly, her clothes were fastened meticulously, she had a pair of dark eyes on her delicate face, and her whole person was full of energy, but compared to how she usually wore women's clothes, He seems to be a year or two younger.
He was pleased to see it and said to her: "Chang Rong has gone in to deliver a message to Liu Zan. Let's wait here for a while."
Qin Yao nodded, looked inside the two solemn red doors, and waited quietly beside Lin Xiao.
After a while, Chang Rong came out of Dali Temple, walked to Lin Xiao and whispered: "Master Liu happens to be inside, please invite the prince in."
Lin Xiao nodded and led Qinyao and Ahan inside.
Qin Yao followed Lin Xiao and couldn't help but think as she walked, this Lord Liu Zan of Dali Temple was Liu Bingyu's father. He was said to be an upright official and quite prestigious in the court. Judging from the situation these few times, It was expected that firstly, he had a good personal relationship with Lin Xiao, and secondly, he quite trusted Lin Xiao as a person. Otherwise, given the age difference between the two, he would never have opened the door to Lin Xiao as often as he did now.
It's just that about Qin Zheng's case last time, Lin Xiao didn't know how he explained it to Liu Zan and others. Anyway, in the end, the emperor suppressed several cases and tried to protect Qin Zheng's reputation after his death. He didn't do anything for that person. Several women who committed suicide plan to seek explanation.
"But Liu Zan spent two months researching hard, and in exchange for such an ending, I don't know what he will feel in his heart.
After entering, Liu Zan did not sit in the main hall like last time, but worked in the study room in the back hall.
An official led them around the small courtyard behind the main hall, arrived at the door and said, "Sir, Commander Lin is here."
A deep and deep voice came from the door, "Please come in quickly."
Qin Yao followed Lin Xiao in. When she looked up, she saw a very spacious study room with ceiling-to-ceiling bookshelves on all four walls, filled with all kinds of books. There were two desks, one large and one small.
Behind the big desk is a large sliding window, which casts light into every corner of the room without hesitation, illuminating the figure and appearance of the middle-aged official behind the desk. Qinyao recognized that this person was the Dali whom she had met last time. Temple Minister Liu Zan paid more attention this time and realized that his features were indeed similar to Liu Bingyu's.
Another desk was placed against the bookshelf, which was piled with files. A handsome young man sat behind it, writing something with a pen.
When Lin Xiao and others came in, the man looked up. His original cold expression suddenly turned into surprise. He held the pen with his white fingers and forgot to put it down for a long time.
It wasn't until a drop of ink fell on the paper, leaving a pool of ink stains on the snow-white paper that could not be wiped off, that I finally came to my senses, put down the pen in embarrassment, and crumpled the ink-stained papyrus into a ball. stood up.
Qinyao didn't expect to meet Feng Boyu in Dali Temple today. She almost didn't call out "Brother Feng". Seeing Brother Feng looking at her with a complicated expression, she didn't dare to be rude, so she had to make a silent mouth gesture to him with a smile on her face. Smile and nod in greeting.
After not seeing him for a long time, Qin Yao felt that Brother Feng had lost a lot of weight and his expression was a little gloomy. He was not as cheerful as usual. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Her mother said in the morning that Brother Feng would be promoted to the position of prime minister of Dali Temple in the near future. It stands to reason that this person would be in high spirits during happy events. How could he be so listless? Could it be that the official duties in the yamen were too complicated and Brother Feng was overwhelmed and exhausted.
Feng Boyu looked at Qin Yao standing next to Lin Xiao, feeling mixed in his heart. Earlier, he heard the official reported that Commander Lin was here, and there was no one else named Lin in Chang'an City, so he knew that it must be Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao was usually in charge of the Yulin Army and had nothing to do with Dali Temple. He came here, most likely not to give a secret edict for the emperor, but to become interested in a recent case.
Recalling that there was something strange about the case in his hand, he could not help but have some speculations.Could it be that Qin Yao discovered something evil and wanted to know the details of the case, so she asked Lin Xiao to come and inquire?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Qin Yao coming in with Lin Xiao. His earlier suspicion was confirmed, and his heart suddenly felt sour.
I don¡¯t know how long I had been lost. It wasn¡¯t until Mr. Liu called him that he realized that several people in the room were looking at him, and Qin Yao was no exception. There was a hint of doubt in her clear eyes, and a bit of worry.
He moved the corners of his stiff mouth and forced a relieved smile to Qin Yao. Then he turned sideways and said to Liu Zan, "I don't know what your orders are."
Liu Zan saw that his expression was full of fatigue, and he was completely different from just now. He felt a little strange and said: "Ji Zhou, I remembered that there were some inaccuracies in the case that Youzhou presented two days ago. Why don't you go to jail?" Let¡¯s interrogate the prisoner here and see if there are any inconsistencies in his confession.¡±
Feng Boyu immediately realized that Liu Zan was trying to push him away, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and said, "I'll do it now, sir."
Lin Xiao looked at him indifferently, and saw that he went out quickly. When passing by Qin Yao, he did not look at Qin Yao more, nor did he stop for much. His expression softened and he looked away.
Feng Boyu closed the door and trudged down the steps. His steps were so heavy that he could hardly move. His body felt chilly. Although there was a scorching sun above his head, it was like being on a gloomy rainy day and he couldn't feel any warmth at all.
Walking into the yard, I remembered that I had discussed the case with Qin Yao not long ago, and the pain in my heart came to my mind. I swayed and almost couldn't stand up.
He looked at the bluestone bricks under his feet that had been bleached white by the sun. He slowly raised his hand and took out a colorful orchid beaded flower from his arms. He placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. After a long time, his Adam's apple moved with difficulty, and he felt heavy. He put the pearl flower back into his arms and walked out.
Liu Zan greeted Lin Xiao and said, "Weijin, please take a seat quickly."
Then, taking a look at the young man with bright eyes and white teeth and the little Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to Lin Xiao, he remembered that he had seen them casting spells last time, and heard that they had helped deal with the monsters that dug out the facial features, so he also looked at Qin Yao and A Han. You should have some respect, because since the Qin Zheng case was solved, Chang'an City has never had such a shocking murder case, and it has been peaceful for a long time.
I didn¡¯t know how to call them, so I simply said, ¡°Two masters, please sit down.¡±
After the greetings were completed, Liu Zan did not dare to delay, flipping through the files unfolded on the case, and said to Lin Xiao: "The deceased you mentioned did die in a strange way. Because the governor of Chang'an did not dare to make a conclusion, he transferred it to my Dali Temple yesterday. After conducting an autopsy last night, he found that there was no blood on the young man's body. He had examined many corpses that had been decapitated or had their throats cut, and there was always some blood in the chest, abdomen or internal organs. However, every part of this young man's body was clean. It¡¯s like it¡¯s been sucked dry by something.¡±
Qin Yao and Lin Xiao looked at each other. It seemed that their previous speculation was correct. The young man had indeed been bled.
Lin Xiao said: "I wonder whose husband this young man belongs to?" That day at the lakeside, he saw those crying and crying people around the body, all dressed in luxurious clothes, and they didn't look like ordinary people.
Liu Zan didn't know that Lin Xiao had met the deceased's family before, so he only said: "I think you should know this person. It is Tang Yijun who was awarded the title of Uncle Changsheng last year for his military service. The deceased child was also awarded the title of Crown Prince last year. His name is Tang Yijun. Call Tang Qingsheng."
The crown prince? Qin Yao couldn't help but be suspicious. At the lakeside that day, there was clearly a young man who was several years older than the child. When he cried, he claimed to be Tang Qingsheng's eldest brother. It was obvious that Tang Qingsheng was not Tang Yijun's eldest son. This dynasty has always established the elder rather than the younger, so how could they bypass Qingsheng's eldest brother and make Tang Qingsheng the heir apparent.
Lin Xiao did know Tang Yijun. When this man was canonized by the emperor last year, he drank the wine he offered to him, but they were just acquaintances and didn't know much about his family affairs.
Hearing what Liu Zan said, Lin Xiao had the same doubts as Qin Yao, but he didn't need to be scrupulous and asked directly.
Liu Zan stroked his beard, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "A gentleman hides his evil and promotes his good. Logically speaking, it is not my turn to comment on his family affairs, but really speaking, these old things may have something to do with the case. It is useless to hide the relationship. Who is Tang Yijun's current wife? - She is the cousin of his original wife. It is said that she was born like a flower since she was a child. Even now, long past the age of cardamom, she is still one of the top ladies in Luoyang City. Beauty. At that time, Mrs. Tang had some root causes of illness when she gave birth to her son, so this cousin often came to his house to take care of her sister. Not long after, Mrs. Tang suddenly became seriously ill, and it took some time. In the end, she died of illness and passed away, leaving only A son. A year later, Tang Yijun married that cousin as soon as he became a filial piety. I heard that Mrs. Xiao Tang was only fourteen or fifteen years old when she married, more than ten years younger than Tang Yijun. Someone told his neighbor in Luoyang , his little cousin had hooked up with her cousin-in-law a long time ago, and Mrs. Tang also died in an unknown way, but it was just a long time ago. Now Tang Yijun is gradually becoming more and more powerful, and even the little Mrs. Tang¡¯s natal family has become famous, and no one can do it anymore. Dare to pursue it deeper.¡±
After hearing this, Lin Xiao quickly glanced at Qin Yao and asked, "What is the name of Tang Yijun's eldest son?"
