Gao Jun still didn't know anything about the witness's confession.

Walking on the way to the capital, Fan Ying felt that Li Shichang was simply a genius with a bad heart, and Wang Da, the assassin of Tingzhou, had no place to put it in front of Li Shichang.

Gao Jun's resume, Cui Yan's entry point to Xizhou, and the fact that Mrs. Cui returned to Xizhou three times, stayed for the last time, and resolutely did not return to Chang'an, were all fabricated into a lie by Li Shiyun "sensibly".

If Fan Ying didn't know the truth, maybe she would have believed it!

Not to mention the high-level trial in the midst of a puzzle?

According to what she heard in the "Meiyun Pavilion" last night, the appearance of Gao Xianxing's anger and corruption, what if he can't stand Li Shiyun's teasing in the court and preemptively wants to expose the identity of his senior brother?

And with Gao Jun's temper of doing what he said, if he proposed to let Gao Xianxing go to Guozijian in the early dynasty, then Gao Xianxing is too likely to get out of control.

She knew very well that as long as this matter was poked out, there would definitely be an uproar in the court, and even the emperor might be alarmed and rushed back from the Hot Spring Palace.

Then the senior brother is uncontrollable.

And if she waits for the high court to go crazy before taking it out, it seems to be useless except to prove the treachery of the British duke.

Do you want to prove that what the British public says is wrong? Well, you can tell me, what did the British Duke say wrong?

It's not going to get deeper and deeper!

Once Gao Jun's concealment of his true identity was pointed out by the high court, it was very likely that he would be imprisoned at that time for the crime of bullying the king, so what would the senior brother wait for if he didn't run away!

In addition to the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, there are also groups of gold-armored guards in the side hall, but he has no guy in his hands!

If you come to a detention Dali Temple to await trial, what is really beneficial to the senior brother is not the black knife, but the "winding warbler sword" on her waist.

It's been a long time, Fan Ying's brain hasn't turned so quickly as it is today, and she doesn't think about it at all.

Because at this time, it is her and Gao Jun who are in Yongning Fang, in case there is anything wrong with Gao Jun, the sisters are all far away, and all the responsibility for internal help is on her.

Shangshu Provincial Bureau, the people who guarded the door all knew the third lady of Shangshuling, and no one stopped her, Fan Ying dismounted and went in directly.

She found that all the ministries in Shangshu Province were doing their jobs as usual, and all the officials who met her were very respectful, and Fan Ying's heart was a little relieved.

Someone led the third lady into the capital hall, Gao Jun has not come back yet, usually at this time he should have come back, this is a bit abnormal.

Fan Ying guessed that the senior brother cared about this knife very much, and he would definitely not put the black knife in the capital hall when he went to the court, but it was very likely that the accompanying guards would take it to Chengtianmen, and let them wait outside Chengtianmen, and after he dispersed the court, he would be able to take the knife in his hand as soon as he came out.

Gao Jun Fan Ying looked at it in the capital hall, asked people again, and confirmed this guess, so he hurriedly left the capital hall and went to Chengtianmen.

Outside the Chengtian Gate is a wide horizontal street in the east-west direction, which belongs to the inner street of the Imperial City, the east of the street is led to the outside of the Imperial City by the Yanxi Gate and the Anfu Gate in the west, and there is the intersection of the Chengtianmen Street and the Hengjie in the north-south direction.

On the south side of the crossroads, on the east side is the office of the province under the door, the province in the palace and the left Qianniuwei, and on the west side is the office of the Zhongshu province, the right Qianniu guard and the prison guard.

All the guards and retinues of the officials of the upper dynasty can only follow them to the Chengtian Gate, and they cannot go inside the gate anymore - even a large number of royal guards are stationed outside the gate, not to mention them.

There is a place where they are waiting for their masters.

Fan Ying quickly found more than two dozen guards from Yongning Fang, their horses tied to the side, and there were tea and snacks specially prepared for them by the prison guards. This kind of person is very hard, and he is ready to travel with the adults before dawn, and he has no time to eat breakfast.

But at this time, they were already a little anxious about waiting, because the time was almost noon, and the early dynasty had not yet dispersed, which had not happened for a long time.

When the guards saw Mrs. Fan coming over, they stood up one after another. There was a person who was holding the black knife of the tall man in his arms, and he whispered to Mrs. Fan, "When the Harrier Kingdom Duke entered the court, he once let the villain remember one thing. ”

Fan Ying asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard looked at Zuo Qianniu's guard behind him, and said in a low voice, "Guogong said that if Madame has something urgent to come here, he asked you to go to Zuo Qianniuwei to find General Xue immediately." ”

"Nothing else?" Fan Ying asked.

The guard shook his head, "Not anymore, but he said that General Xue is also busy repairing the Xuanwu Gate, so don't let Madame delay it too long." ”

On the north palace wall of Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, there is a Xuanwu Gate each, which is the top priority of defense.

Because the east, west, and south sides of the two inner palaces are heavily controlled, and they are facing the downtown area, and there is a wind and grass that can be known soon.

But in the north, only a Xuanwu Gate is used to control the entrance, and you can enter the Inner Palace directly after entering the Xuanwu Gate, and there is no trace of obstruction, so naturally the Xuanwu Gate has become the focus of defense.

The guards of the various palace gates in Ouchi usually only arranged one general, but the two Xuanwu gates were personally managed by Xue Li, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei.

Gao Jun came to the court, and ordered the guards to say such a sentence without beginning or end, and Fan Ying thought it had a deep meaning.

Because the matter of repairing the Xuanwu Gate does not need to be mastered by Shang Shuling at all, and it is not within the scope of his responsibility.

Besides, if this matter is really urgent, then why don't he move closer to the front and go directly to Zuo Qianniuwei's office to talk to Xue Li?

That must be something else interesting and inconvenient.

Fan Ying asked for the black knife, and she carried it herself, so that the guards would wait for Master Gao here, and she herself came to the Zuo Qianniu Health Department.

The people outside Zuo Qianniuwei, but no one recognized the third lady of the Harrier Mansion, and outside the gate, she was stopped by a meticulous sergeant.

They asked warily, "What did you do to break into the Praetorian Guard, lady?" Still with a knife? ”

"I have something to do with General Xue Li." Fan Ying said.

"Looking for us General Xue? Who are you? Why didn't General Xue give a word? ”

Of course, Fan Ying couldn't tell them in the original words of her senior brother, what would happen if this matter was spread? Shang Shuling overstepped his duties and interfered in the affairs of the palace guards, colluded with the Praetorian Guard generals, and wanted to rebel?

But time is pressing, and there is no proper excuse for a while, even if I am the third lady of the Harrier Mansion, it is inconvenient to confide in these people.

Even if they want to spread the report layer by layer, Fan Ying can't tolerate it. At this time, she already understood what her senior brother meant, he let Xue Li enter the court, and it was impossible for him to go in to help.

Thinking of this, Fan Ying reached out to her neck, took off the string of deep-sea red coral necklace beads given by Lord Chu, and threw her hand into it in the stunned eyes of the guard sergeant.

"Hey! Ay! Madame, you are ......."

There was a general Lang inside, who happened to have asked General Xue for something, and he was walking out at this time.

He heard the movement outside the gate, and then looked up to see an object flying in the air, and when he raised his hand to catch it steadily, it was a string of bright and delicate ornaments, which were worth a lot of money at first glance.

He thought about it, took the coral beads, and reflexively went in again.

After a while, someone ran out and shouted an order, "General Xue has invited Mrs. to come in!" ”

……

After Xue Li came back from Murowei, he and Gao Jun had only drunk wine outside the city once, and that time they were accompanied by Fan Ying, and Lang would bring this string of beads in, and he would know who was coming at a glance.

But Fan Ying ran over without a head or tail, which was already unreasonable, and threw such a precious coral bead chain to send a message, in case it was broken, it would not be enough to sell Yongning Fang.

Then things are in a hurry.

It was impossible for him to send everyone around him back and meet Fan Ying alone, so he asked with a smile, "What's the urgency for my brother and sister to come over at this time?" ”

Fan Ying: "It's not an urgent matter for the eldest brother, but for me, it's a big deal on the fire!" ”

Xue Li smiled, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Fan Ying: "The jade buckle on the belt of my adult's court dress is a little loose, I found it when I went to bed last night, but I was lazy, thinking about getting up earlier to repair it, who knew that when I woke up, he was gone." ”

Xue Li said, "Oh...... This is really a big deal, in case I return to the prince in the court, my brother's pants suddenly fall off......"

He was stunned again when he saw Fan Ying reach out and untie the warbler sword around his waist.

The sword is sheathed, it looks like a leather belt, the handle is decorated with gold, and there is a ruby in the middle, when it is wrapped around the waist, the handle of the sword is like a buckle, and then mixed with the intricate decoration of the sheath, and when the head and tail are buckled, it is impossible to see that it is a sword hilt.

But Xue Li knew it clearly.

Fan Ying came in such a hurry to deliver this sword.

If you just wait outside the Chengtian Gate and wait for Gao Jun to come out and then change it for him, then just a belt will do, and Fan Ying doesn't have to come to him.

Now that he has found it, then Gao Jun must be in a hurry! The belt is just an excuse to hide people's eyes.

But it was a capital crime to bring a sharp weapon into the palace privately, and when Xue Li saw Fan Ying holding the sword in her hand, she also had a look of embarrassment on her face. Such a burden is destined to be the trust of life.

General Zuo Qianniu didn't hesitate, he got up suddenly, frowned and said, "Brother and sister, this is yours!" Fan Ying was dumbfounded and at a loss.

It seems that there is no major event, and it is impossible to see the true details of a person.

Xue Li said, "You can't just take care of yourself! Such a big event, can you do this? ”

Fan Ying's heart was cold, her face was as pale as ice, and a thick layer of disappointment instantly appeared on her handsome face.

Xue Li complained: "How are you going to play at night, how can the foolish brother interfere? But if you don't think about the big things for him the next day, do you want me to think about it? Wouldn't it be a big deal if he lost his ugliness in the court! ”

Fan Ying said suddenly, "Big brother, what you teach you is that it's just ...... This belt,"

Xue Li said, "Alas! If you want me to say what is good for you! Ignoring the belt at home, and throwing such valuable beads in a hurry, maybe my brother's pants can't hang up at this time! ”

He said, "It just so happens that I have an urgent matter to enter the palace, so it's a big deal to bring him in." ”

At the military academy next to him, Lang and General Zuo were all listening, and they didn't know which lady who came today was the wife of an adult in the court.

But they heard the belt clearly, and everyone thought it was funny. I don't know what kind of adult this adult, when he returns to the prince with his pants in his hands, what will be the situation.

And General Xue and Fan Ying, one after the other, hurriedly walked out of the Zuo Qianniu Health Office.

……

Xue Li left Fan Ying outside the Chengtian Gate and went in by himself, inside was an urn city, the two sides were connected with the city wall to build together, and the urn city was equipped with arrow towers, gate gates, arrow stacks and other defense facilities.

There is Guiyi Gate on the left side of the urn city, there is Quy Nhon Gate on the right, and the Taiji Gate is due north, these three gates are not in the same straight line as the Chengtian Gate, if the Taiji Gate is broken by the battering ram, then in the urn city, the huge battering ram can not turn the corner anyway.

The forbidden troops guarding all recognized General Xue Li, but Xue Li still had to follow the rules and show his waist card before he was released.

As soon as you enter the Taiji Gate, the inside is suddenly open, the bluestone paved avenue is wide and can be parallel to six cars, straight to the sky, here is a slightly lower city wall again, in the clear sky on the city wall, the blue tile roof of the inner palace halls is exposed.

If there is no brother Gao Jun, Xue Li thought, what is it like here, maybe for the rest of his life, he has no way of knowing, he strides forward, I don't know what difficulties his brother encountered.

When the two of them came out of the Zuo Qianniu Health Department together, Fan Ying said that Xue Li could repair the Xuanwu Gate and invite the prince to meet him.

This must also be high-minded.

And today's gift of the belt is by no means Fan Ying's whim, and Gao Jun has no reason to rebel, otherwise Gao Jun would not have come in alone in the early dynasty.

Maybe even Gao Jun was caught off guard by all this.

But between Gao Jun and Fan Ying, inside and outside the imperial city, when things happened suddenly, they were able to have such a tacit understanding, which really amazed Xue Li.

And their trust also made Xue Li even more determined to make this trip.

In the distance of the avenue, there is the Taiji Hall in the north, which compares the offices of some offices that the emperor needs to consult from time to time during the daily administration of the palace, such as the Zhongshu Province, the Sheren Yuan, the Menxia Province, the Hongwen Museum, and the Imperial History Museum.

Outside the Imperial History Museum, there was a team of golden armor halberd-wielding guards, escorting one person out of the Taiji Palace.

This person was dressed in a light crimson robe of a second-class official, with purple, yellow, and red ribbons on his robe, a bare sash (1), a belt decorated with pure gold silk around his waist, a belt buckle of water clasp, and a sac hanging from the waist of the belt (2).

Xue Li saw that it was Gao Jun, he strode up to meet him, and arched his hand, "Harrier Guogong, where are you going?" ”

The gold-armored guards did not stop them, and stopped to let the two of them speak. Because among the guards of the forbidden army, General Xue was in charge of Zuo Qianniuwei, and he was already outside the Taiji Hall at this time, and this face should be given.

Gao Jun stopped, and saw that it was Fan Ying's sword around Xue Li's waist, and the worry in his heart was put down at once, which showed that she was not in danger.

Yesterday evening, Gao Jun just asked Fan Ying to keep an eye on Xinglufang's movements, but who knew that she didn't return overnight.

So based on the recent abnormality between the high trial and the British public, the high trial must have "had to" go out of the city, otherwise Fan Ying would not be in danger in the city and should have come back long ago.

When the high-level trial went out of the city, most of them went to meet Li Shixian, this person is much more powerful than Wang Da!

Gao Jun was worried about Fan Ying and wanted to chase him out of the city again, but he was aimless for a while, and the city gate was closed, so he had to give up. When he got up in the morning and waited for her for a while and didn't come back, Gao Jun was uneasy on the way to the court.

But when he saw the Entwining Ying Sword, a smile appeared on his face, and in front of people, he returned the salute with General Xue, and said loudly, "Don't mention it!" This official proposed that Hongluqing go to the Guozijian today, and he didn't want to recognize my son anymore. ”

"How could this be!" Xue Li asked in surprise.
