Yao Qi sighed and said in a deep voice: "You can't tell anyone about this brand, let alone Han Changdu. ”

Bao Cheng nodded deeply: "Don't worry, we are fellow countrymen, the only people in this world who come from the same place, and I will never betray you." ”

Yao Qi put his mind at ease and shouted outside: "He Denglou, do you have anything to eat?" I am hungry. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go to the stove room to have a look, Boss Yao, you wait." He Denglou answered, and ran away without looking back.

Bao Cheng looked at the figure rushing into the vast night, and sighed: "They are really sincere to you." ”

Yao Qi also sighed: "Speaking of which, people at this time are still simple-minded, just like when we were all as good as a thousand-year-old fox." ”

The night is getting deeper, the city of Chang'an is extremely quiet, most of the candles are extinguished, and in the dark and dreary night, the moonlight is half bright and half dark, and the chessboard-like square is silent.

At this time, Chang'an City seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, and the only thing that is still awake is Pingkangfang, where the water-red lanterns continue to stretch to the horizon, shining the whole Pingkangfang like water.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the workshop had long since stopped, and the official prostitutes and the correctional ladies were all guarded separately, and the workshop made Xue Lu follow behind Han Changwan in fear, and waited carefully, lest he say the wrong half a word and cause death.

Han Changdui didn't ask much, just sat in the hall with a cold face, and there was a loud plopping sound from upstairs, which was the sound of wolf-like internal guards kicking the door.

Every kick on the door is like kicking on the tip of Xue Lu's heart, he keeps shivering, the little abacus in his heart crackles, secretly thinking about the broken doors, you can ask Taichang Temple how much silver to repair, and how much oil and water he can fish out from it.

"Is Lord Xue distressed about those doors that he kicked in?" After being quiet for a long time, Han Changdui suddenly opened his mouth.

Xue Lu smacked the spirit hard, he didn't know how to reply, he was full of only one thought, this is a demon, otherwise how would he know what he was thinking?

After waiting for a long time, before Xue Lu could speak, Han Changdui smiled coldly again: "Lord Xue has earned so much shady silver, do you even have to be greedy for repair fees?" ”

Xue Luhuo looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person stood with a disgraced face, and his mouth was open.

Han Changwan turned his head to look at Xue Lu, raised his tail note and said a soft "um".

Xue Lu was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth, he knelt down with a puff, his head slammed on the ground, his voice was crisp and loud, and he said in a trembling voice: "Adult, adult, villain is also confused for a while, villain, villain no longer dare, villain no longer dares to take in unknown people, no longer dare to be greedy, beg adults to let go of villains." ”

Now it was Han Changdu's turn to be surprised and stunned, he just wanted to scare and scare Xue Lu, but he didn't expect this person to be really fine, he was sitting precariously, coughed lightly, slowly, word by word on Xue Lu's heart: "Then you make things clear and say it well." ”

Xue Lu banged his head and cried tears: "Villain, villain is greedy for that bit of silver, so he agreed, and he agreed to that, that called, called Huozhen, chartered a room in the teaching workshop, and stayed for a long time." ”

Han Changwan squinted, vaguely feeling that something was wrong here, it was not a big deal to rent a room in the workshop all year round, why was Xue Lu so scared?

He asked in a low voice, "Who is that fire?" How did you find out he had a problem? ”

Xue Lu cried bitterly: "Villain, the villain didn't know it originally, but then he lived in for three months, and he didn't call Hua Niang once, and the villain found out that his beard was fake and sticky, and the villain, the villain knew that he was the same as the villain, a temple person." ”

"Temple people." Han Changdui was stunned: "Is this fire really a eunuch in the palace?" ”

Xue Lu raised his head and said: "The villain doesn't know, the villain often walks in the palace, but he hasn't seen this person, and then the villain paid attention to the roster of servants in the palace, and he didn't find this person's name." ”

Han Changdui was suddenly suspicious, but he was still stable, and asked expressionlessly, "Then can you be in the workshop today?" ”

Xue Lu shook his head and said tremblingly: "Before the adult ordered the closure of the workshop, he was still there, but when the adult arrived and wanted to search the workshop, the others disappeared. ”

Han Changdui knocked on the bed and continued to ask, "If you have anything else to hide, let's say it all." ”

Xue Lu poured beans like a bamboo tube, poured it cleanly, and what he said was nothing more than deducting money and treating Hua Niang harshly, but he didn't force out his life, but there was only one thing that attracted Han Changdu's attention.

He stared for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that Tuoba Fuyun gave you silver and medicine, let Ruan Jun fake her death, and then took her out of the workshop?" ”

Xue Lu knelt upright, and sold Tuoba Fuyun very neatly: "Yes, he gave the villain a thousand taels of silver, either to buy Ruan Jun's death, or to buy a villain's life, the villain is afraid of death, and also thinks that Ruan Jun has ruined his appearance, instead of suffering in the workshop, it is better to let her out of the sea of suffering, and it can be regarded as the villain accumulating virtue and doing good, and the villain agreed." ”

Han Changwan didn't believe that Tuoba Fuyun was motivated by lust, and he fell in love with Ruan Jun at first sight, he must have other plans, seeing that Xue Lu had already said it very cleanly, he pointed to the two internal guards next to him and said, "You follow Lord Xue to the room under Huozhen's bag and search carefully." ”

Xue Luying claimed that it was, and went upstairs with two internal guards.

At this moment, He Zhenfu also took the internal guard downstairs, walked into the hall, bowed and replied, "My lord, I have asked clearly." ”

Han Changdu's expression was solemn: "Say." ”

He Zhenfu said: "Hua Niang, the body deeds of the discipline lady and the little maids have been checked, they are all death deeds, all have files to check, there are no unknown people, and their rooms are not abnormal, according to the people in the workshop, these days are all regular customers, and most of them are officials, especially today, there is no face, and before the closure of the workshop, no one has left, after the internal security department suddenly sealed the doors of the workshop, only a man named Huo Zhen, suddenly left, but the internal guard was questioned until the search of the workshop, No one has ever gone out. He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and unfolded it to Han Changdu: "My lord, this is a portrait of Huo Zhen drawn by the people who are good at Danqing in the teaching workshop. ”

Han Changdui took a look, this fire was really about forty years, the phoenix eyes were slender and upward, the essence was shining, the hooked nose looked gloomy, the two nasolabial folds on the face were extremely deep, the lips were extremely thin, the corners of the mouth were hanging down, the face was bitter, and the two small beards on the lips looked extremely weird, which was very incompatible with this face.

He subconsciously ignored the two small whiskers, feeling that this should have been a white-faced and beardless person, and the yin qi was very deep.

He thought, Xue Lu may have guessed well, this person is indeed a temple person, if it is not in the palace, it is outside, and the official eunuchs outside the palace can only be a palace.

The eunuch is different from the palace maid, who is clean for a day and cannot come out for life, and can only die of old age in the palace or the palace.

As he concentrated, two of the internal guards in charge of the search went downstairs, and one of the internal guards put a purple gold bronze Boshan stove on the dining table.

The inner guard bowed down and said, "My lord, the room is very clean, and only this incense burner is left." ”

Han Changdui nodded, took it over and looked at it carefully, the incense ashes in the incense burner were all poured clean, only there were some residues in the cracks.

The incense ash still has some residual fragrance, like an orchid musk deer, the smell is very strange, he thought about it, and wrapped the incense burner carefully, although he couldn't identify what it was, Bao Cheng must have recognized it, he didn't believe that this thing had nothing to do with Gu cultivation.

He squinted his eyes and snorted slightly: "If this person doesn't have a ghost in his heart, how could he clean up the room and flee overnight after the internal guard sealed the teaching workshop, when he left, Pingkangfang was already curfew, and he couldn't get out, He Zhenfu ordered the internal guard to take the portrait to inquire in various flower buildings, and scare him out." ”

He Zhenfu bowed down and said yes, and hurriedly called more than a dozen internal guards to ask them to remember Huo Zhen's appearance clearly, and sent them out to inquire.

Seeing that there was nothing to check in the workshop, Han Changdui raised his head and said to Xue Lu in a deep voice: "Do you want to make meritorious service for your crimes?" ”

Xue Lu was already kneeling with cold pain in his knees, he thought that he had committed a crime in the hands of this living Hades, this time he would definitely die, suddenly hearing Han Changdui's words, he was immediately ecstatic, and he also understood Han Changdu's meaning in an instant, this person was pinching his life and forcing him to serve, he kowtowed again and again: "The villain is willing, the villain is willing to serve the adult, and in the future, all the affairs in the teaching workshop, the villain will obey the arrangement of the adult, and there is no concealment." ”

Han Changdui narrowed his eyes, this person was really clever and transparent, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This is very good." He paused: "This official remembers that there are three envoys in the workshop. ”

Xue Lu straightened his back suddenly, and said with burning eyes: "Yes, my lord, the other two sect envoys entered the inner sect that was resident in the palace and took care of the official prostitutes to rehearse new songs. ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "Then, this sect is not Lord Xue's words." ”

Xue Lu's face changed, and he seized this opportunity tightly and did not let go: "If the adult can trust the villain, the villain will turn this workshop into a hall of words for the adult." ”

Han Changdui pursed his lips noncommittally, smiled, stood up suddenly, and walked out slowly.

Xue Lu didn't know what to do, turned around, and kowtowed again after Han Changdu's back: "My lord." ”

Han Changdu's figure paused, turned slightly, looked at the jumping candle flame, and said lightly: "Lord Xue wants to serve the official, but also depends on whether he has this qualification, the official has patience, and Lord Xue must also be patient." ”

After that, he walked out of the workshop without looking back, turned over his horse, and walked away in the moonlight on the ground.
