In fact, whether it is Cui Geng, Li Bao'er, or Dou Huaizhen, they all overestimate Zhao's IQ a little.

She can be trusted by Empress Wei, not because of how clever her deception is, not how eloquent she is, but because Empress Wei likes these things that are chattering with gods, even if there is something unreasonable, she can automatically make up for it in a reasonable way.

So now, Zhao really didn't expect a roundabout strategy to help Cui Geng's case, and directly made a moth on "finding someone".

"The east wind sun and moon flowers thousands of trees, the west rain bull head does not know righteousness, the south fist is invincible Qingfeng Tower, and there is fire in the north as soon as possible."

What the hell?

Li Bao'er and Empress Wei looked at the words written by Zhao, and looked at each other, inexplicable for a while.

Wei Hou said: "Zhao, why is Zigu's instructions so obscure? You can explain it to Hongu. โ€

Zhao Shixin said, nonsense, it's hard to understand. I don't even know what that means, how can you possibly understand? That's just a bunch.

She bowed slightly and said, "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine doesn't know what she means." Presumably, Cui Xiang is the star in the sky, and he should have this difficulty. Zigu didn't dare to reveal the secret of heaven, so she had to hint at it with such obscure words. Whether or not these four proverbs can be understood depends on Cui Xiang's creation. โ€

Li Bao'er said angrily: "What do you look at the creation of the husband? This palace suspects that these four proverbs are made up by you! You don't want to get away with this! โ€

Wei Hou reprimanded: "Peace must not be unreasonable! Zhao's skill of supporting the beggars is still trustworthy for the mother. Come to the people, pass on the will of the palace, and let Jingzhao Yin Yamen find someone in the city according to these four proverbs of Zigu. โ€

If such a big case has occurred, you can't stop investigating it just because it's hard to find people. Li Xian made a decree to draw shadows at the city gate and arrest the prisoners.

Now Li Rongniang and the others should still be hiding from the limelight in the city, and it is unlikely that they will escape from the city.

As for letting Jingzhao Yin Yamen find someone, instead of Zuo Yu Shitai, it is because Zuo Yu Shitai does not have many errands, and it is more convenient for Jingzhao Yin Yamen to do this.

Jingzhao Shaoyin Wei Zhigu has a ghost in his heart, and he works hard to do it after getting Yi's order, and he must not let Empress Wei find the slightest fault.

First of all, he scattered the officials of Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and even Chang'an and Wannian counties, with a small ratio in two days and a large ratio in four days.

That is to say, within two days, the officials could not find the prisoners, so they would be beaten with ten boards; After four days, he still couldn't find it, so he made twenty boards; Cycle. The officials were beaten while trying to find the prisoners.

Usually, big and important cases are compared to a small ratio in three days and a large ratio in five days. This time it's a good thing, Wei Zhigu is missing a day.

Not only that, but under normal circumstances, it is the chief officer who arrests the fast squad leader, and the squad leader beats his subordinates. There's no way, you have to take it easy, the officials are really all broken, who will do the work.

Now Wei Zhigu will unify the squad leaders and officials, and personally supervise them, and will never show mercy to his subordinates. It is conceivable that if the prisoners cannot be found within a month, those officials will die.

Not only that, but he also ordered people to post these four proverbs on the streets and alleys, and welcomed the people to provide clues. If the clues are really useful, the reward is 100,000 yuan. Of course, this money was not from Wei Zhigu, but from Li Bao'er.

has achieved this level, who dares to say that his attitude towards solving the case is not correct?

For a time, the officials were beaten bitterly. And the people were elated and began a trend of "searching for people and treasures". I don't know how many people have hollowed out their minds, pondering these four proverbs, hoping to gain something.

Suddenly, ten days passed.

Southwest corner of Chang'an, Yongyangfang, solemn temple.

This temple is the Sui Wen Emperor for his beloved wife Queen Dugu Jialuo to pray for the blessing of the dead, the total area of 60 hectares, the scale is extremely large.

However, after all, it is a Buddhist temple erected by the emperor of the previous dynasty, although the scale is large, the incense is very small, and the monks lack offerings, and only a few dozen remain.

This place is very remote, there is only farmland around, there are no people, and there are many rats in the city fox society. After a long time, it was rumored that there were ghosts in the temple. The ghost stories of Chang'an folk often use this solemn temple as the background.

There is a wooden pagoda in the temple, which is more than 30 zhang high, and it is rumored by people to suppress what demons and monsters.

In a few hundred years, after continuous rumors, this wooden tower will become the original form of Leifeng Pagoda in "The Legend of the White Snake".

Now, on the third floor of this wooden tower, there are really about 20 people. And the leaders of these people are none other than Jin Xiaoji and Li Rongniang!

At this moment, everyone sat around, and there was a gloomy cloud.

A man said in a deep voice: "Princess, you have to prepare early!" In the past few days, the government has been searching and arresting very urgently, and maybe when those four proverbs will be explained. โ€

Jin Xiaoji said: "I think...... You're thinking too much, aren't you? Those four proverbs really have something to do with where we are? โ€

The man said in a deep voice: "Princess, don't you believe it, if the Zhao family doesn't have two sons, can you win the favor of the Tang Dynasty Queen and be named the lady of Longxi County?" โ€

Another tall and thin middle-aged man said: "If you think about these four proverbs carefully, they are just related to us. Think about it, we are in the southwest corner of Chang'an, how can we say this, the west rain bull head does not know the righteousness, and the southern fist is invincible Qingfeng Building. The west character and the south character represent our orientation, the rain is related to the cloudy sky, and the bull head and horse face are related to the underworld. This clearly means that in the southwest of Chang'an, it is related to the legend of the underworld. That...... Isn't that what this solemn temple is referring to? โ€

Another person accosted: "There is also Qingfeng Tower, it's almost clear that we are in Qingfeng Tower." The more time passes, the easier it will be for the Tang people to guess! โ€

In fact, these people are suspicious of dark ghosts, and far-fetched to link the prophecies of Mrs. Zhao of Longxi to themselves.

Li Rongniang said: "The safety of the princess is so important, let's believe it or not, the next step, how to escape, let's discuss it." โ€

The tall and thin middle-aged man said, "Now that the matter is over, we can only take risks." There are twelve gates in Chang'an, so we are divided into twelve teams, each team or two or three people, and flee at the same time. โ€

"What about the shadow figure at the door?"

"Actually, it's only the princess and you who are clearly drawn on it. You two can disguise yourself as men, pretend to be a sick person with a serious disease, and if the Buddha blesses you, you can get away with it. โ€

"That's ......"

Li Rongniang and Jin Xiaoji glanced at each other and said, "Okay, then the general will write the names of the twelve city gates, and everyone will draw lots to which city gate." Do not question each other, and go out of the city early tomorrow morning. โ€

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison and began to prepare to draw lots.

Although some people have vaguely thought that this solemn temple is not very safe, and it is also a reckless risk to venture out of the city, since the safety of the princess is very important, why choose to venture out of the city?

However, the long-term distinction between the upper and lower classes made their thoughts just fleeting, and they did not dare to ask in detail. Moreover, it was not the figure that was drawn herself, but the princess. When the time comes, something really goes wrong, and the princess is also arrested, why do you have that mouth?

On the second day, according to the lots, the people gradually left the solemn temple and ventured out of the city.
