Cui Erlang brought two guards and came back with him to buy a large cart of food.

As soon as he returned to the guard and capture department, a drum sounded again in the bachelor's academy, and then the loud sound of the Hulang's time was heard: "At the beginning of Xu, the eunuch is lush, and all things are lush!"

Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of dusk drums on Chengtian Gate from afar.

Then, the street drums on the towers in Chang'an City were also ringing.

Amid the sound of evening drums, the Nine Immortal Gate, the Right Yintai Gate and the Xing'an Gate were slowly closed, and the entire Hanlin Courtyard was isolated in the Jiacheng outside the western wall of the Daming Palace.

Pei Shaoqing asked Cui Erlang to take someone to distribute the purchased food.

He himself carried a roast chicken and a pot of wine and went straight to the Jade Courtyard.

Because Mo Yu was busy preparing the ceremony for the crown prince’s enthronement ceremony, he had been working overtime these days with a group of disciples and grandchildren. When he encountered important jade artifacts, such as the crown prince’s seal, he had to take the sword himself.

When Pei Shaoqing walked into Mo Yu's straight room, Mo Yu was still carving it.

I put down my wine and food and came over to see another seal.

He asked now: "Master Mo, why is it another new seal?"

"What do you think?" Mo Yu said calmly, "The prince's seal is as many as the emperor."

After saying this, Mo Yu said again: "Are you here to get the dice? You have already made it, just put it on the wooden rack. You can go to the back to get it."

Pei Shaoqing walked to the wooden frame behind and saw the pair of dice at a glance.

I saw that under the illumination of the candle, the pair of exquisite dice shone brightly, and the points carved from bloodstones embedded on the dice were almost dripping.

"So beautiful." Qingxuan couldn't help but praise.

Girls always lack resistance to this kind of shiny ornament.

Pei Shaoqing picked up a delicate dice and handed it to Qingxuan: "For you."

Qingxuan looked at Pei Shaoqing in surprise and said in surprise: "I gave it to me?"

In the Tang Dynasty, glass or glass was of no less valuable than top jade.

The luminous cup in the "Grape Wine Luminous Cup" written by Wang Han is a glass cup.

Therefore, such a clear and transparent glass dice is worthless.

"Don't like it? If you don't like it, forget it." Pei Shaoqing finished speaking, and made a move to prepare to take it back.

"The gift I gave was not taken back." Qing Xuan snorted and grabbed it.

Pei Shaoqing smiled and put away the other one.

...

Midnight, Dali Temple.

Di Renjie is reviewing the case file.

In recent days, Di Renjie has hardly seen it.

During the day, we worked with the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate to ask about the case, and at night we checked and sorted out the case files, trying to find the breakthrough of the princess kidnapping case from the messy clues.

The seven-day deadline given by the queen has passed two days.

However, there is still no substantial progress in the case.

The reason is also very simple. The key witness in this case is either missing or silenced.

For example, the fire hunter who summoned Hechuan, Zhangye and Chishui Shoucha Lang to Chang'an was mysteriously missing on the night after the kidnapping and has not been caught yet.

For example, the Right Guard Cavalry who inexplicably appeared outside Jiuli Village.

In addition to the leader of the Right Guard, Li Daoen, who was missing, there were more than a hundred cavalrymen who were ambushed and abandoned their bodies in the deep mountains and forests of the Nanshan Mountain the day after the incident.

The general of Zuo Xiaowei Lang is still alive.

Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about it after asking.

Based on Di Renjie's experience, Yang Xiaoyi is afraid that he really doesn't know.

The truly well-documented clues will be completely cut off here.

All that remains is the few suspicious clues collected by Dali Temple.

First, Li Daoen's identity is forged, he is a Turkic person.

Secondly, before his disappearance, the fire hunter went to Pingkangfang and met Lunzanren, a student from Hongwenguan.

Thirdly, Princess Taiping provided an extremely important clue. On the night she was kidnapped, she had seen the Emperor's close servant Wang Desheng among the crowd near Anrenfang.

This is very suspicious.

Therefore, Di Renjie used the command of the queen without hesitation to "invite" Wang Desheng from the Yeting Bureau to the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple.

However, after two interrogation, Wang Desheng always said to death that he went to Jianfu Temple to pray for the Emperor, hoping that the Emperor's illness would be cured as soon as possible.

Di Renjie dared not to rush to the punishment.

So the clues were interrupted again.

Di Renjie re-cluttered the clues and felt that the only breakthrough was Wang Desheng.

Because there is a loophole in Wang Desheng's rhetoric, he went to Anrenfang alone quietly, which is obviously contrary to common sense. As an eunuch, when you go to Jianfu Temple to pray for blessings, you must not be able to rush forward and backward?

At that moment, Di Renjie said to Zhang Qianxu: "General Zhang, go to Tianzhu again!"

Zhang Qianxu was a general of the Northern Imperial Guard of Yulin Guard. He was ordered by Wu Zetian to cooperate with Dali Temple to handle the case.

"Here!" Zhang Qianxi crossed his hands and bowed, immediately clicked more than a dozen Yulin Guards, and followed Di Renjie to the Tianzhu in the backyard.

Soon, the group arrived at the gate of Tianzhuo, and saw two mutton fat torches inserted on the lintel, sprinkling dark fire light. The whole gate looked first-class in the night.

Two Wuhou guarded the door with his hands pressed a horizontal sword.

"Squeak...ga!" The closed iron door suddenly opened a crack.

Immediately, a prison officer walked out of the crack in the door. When he saw Di Renjie and his party, he quickly retreated to one side and saluted with his hands.

Di Renjie didn't think much about it, glanced at the prisoner and passed by, but suddenly stopped again as soon as he entered the door, and then looked back leisurely at the prisoner.

I saw the prison officer bent and walked outside.

Without any warning, Di Renjie frowned.

Zhang Qianxu looked at the prisoner and said, "Is there any problem?"

Di Renjie ignored Zhang Qianxu and suddenly shouted at the prison officer: "Stop!"

However, the prisoner did not stop, but turned his feet and rushed straight towards the courtyard wall.

Now, without waiting for Di Renjie to remind him, Zhang Qianxu quickly reacted and shouted loudly: "Take it!"

More than a dozen Yulin Guards accompanied them all took out wooden crossbows and horizontal swords. Zhang Qianxu even grabbed the prisoner with one step, and then reached out and grabbed it as if he was clawed.

At this moment, the prison officer suddenly turned around and had an extra crossbow in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Qianxu suddenly turned sideways, and a little cold star passed by his cheek. Almost, he was shot through the face by the crossbow arrow shot by the other party.

With this delay, the prison officer had already climbed over the wall of the courtyard.

"You can't run away!" Zhang Qianxu groaned, "Chasing me!"

Zhang Qianxu immediately followed a dozen Yulin Guards and chased them over the wall.

At this time, the prison chief Heifu also came out of the iron gate, and Di Renjie shouted: "Heifu, look for the news to the building, and the whole city is chasing the suspicious person just now!"

"Heifu crossed his hands and bowed, and quickly ordered Wu Hou to climb up the tower to send a message.

Di Renjie seemed to remember something, suddenly his face changed and he hurriedly walked into the prison.
Chapter completed!
