Suzaku Fury

[36 The original shape is revealed]

The next day, the first day of April, was less than five days away from the Lixia Yusi, and it was also the day when Di Renjie promised the Queen of Heaven.

During the day, the Suzaku Paradise Street is as prosperous as at night, and with the approach of the Rain Festival, there are more farmers selling goods from the village on the street, making it even more lively.

The altar built in front of the Suzaku gate was removed last night, and the surrounding bamboo frame was removed. It is rare that there is enough light today, which makes the altar in mid-air even more domineering.Under the altar, the officers and soldiers stationed are even denser, with three floors inside and three floors outside, enclosing the junction of Suzaku Gate and Tianjie tightly.Anyone who enters or exits Suzaku Gate will not be allowed to go without a written order.

In addition, there was an endless stream of onlookers who stopped and whispered. Their voices accumulated in small numbers, and then turned into wind, shuttling between the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

"Have you ever heard that two high officials from the court and central government died in Beijing in recent days, but there is actually a lot behind it."

"...I heard that the death of the minister of the Honglu Temple was the result of revenge. I have acquaintances who work in Dali Temple, and when they came back, they said that the appearance of the death was really tragic..."

"I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else. I heard that those two adults who were burned to death were involved in corruption of ink. I heard that the corruption is still royal. Cleaning up the door..."

"...I said, how could it be so extravagant? It's a sacred beast of a vermilion bird and it's walking in water. It turned out that they wanted to use birds to kill people. I also heard that the eunuch who went to Beijing with the Jiedushi was also the same as them. ..."

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The hand holding the lid button trembled, and the lid of the cup that was lifted just now was put back on the cup again.

Cui Qianpei, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, turned his eyes away from the lid of the cup and turned to the screen painted with gold lacquer.It was only after a moment of silence over there that someone picked up the conversation again:

"Don't talk nonsense without real evidence, it's a head-scratching talk."

It was obviously a deliberately lowered voice.

Immediately afterwards, the folding fan was unfolded, and the voice of joking reappeared: "Joke, this is a tea shop, so there is no room for people to say a word?"

"You are spreading rumors, spreading rumors!"

"Even if it's spreading rumors, I can't ask Grandpa about my crimes. Don't be afraid, brother, since you don't want to listen to these gossips, then let's change the topic and continue drinking tea."

Cui Qianpei lowered his eyes in thought.After a long time, he took out a few copper coins to pay for the tea, and left the place of right and wrong.

As soon as he left the teahouse, he called the groom and asked him to bring his horse.After getting on the horse, he went straight to the temporary residence arranged by Empress Wu for him, without stopping at all.

At sunset, the setting sun slanted to the west, and the blue bricks and tiles of Dali Temple were also coated with a layer of warm yellow.

Dali Temple Minister Yuchi Zhenjin turned out of his bedroom, already changed into a new outfit under the black cloak.As soon as he stepped out of the door, Di Renjie, who was sitting on the railing of the corridor, choked:

"Adults don't have to be so impatient."

Yuchi Zhenjin closed the door with his hand, then turned to stare at him.

"I am here to prepare for a rainy day."

Di Renjie jumped off the railing and said with a smile, "My lord, you must not startle the snake at this moment." After saying that, he glanced around.

Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at him, and said with a sneer, "I'm not as foolish as you are, it's useless to talk more." After saying that, he walked away, but Di Renjie's eyesight and hand quickly grabbed his wrist, and he insisted on bringing him into the house up.

Yuchi Zhenjin came back to his senses, and pressed Di Renjie back on the table with two moves, only to see him glaring angrily, and scolded: "Presumptuous!"

"My lord, my lord, forgive me." Di Renjie moved his shoulders, but he didn't expect that the teacher Yu Chi Zhenjin couldn't move even the slightest bit, and now he couldn't help slandering Yu Chi for being too serious.

Yuchi Zhenjin knew that he was uncomfortable, so he let go of his hand, and stood aside with his face turned away.

Di Renjie turned over and put his elbows on the table, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Excellency, you should trust me again, just wait, it's not too late to act after nightfall."

Yuchi Zhenjin didn't say a word, he just turned his blue eyes to glance at him, then lifted his cloak, sat down and made a cup of cold tea for the two of them.

An uninvited guest came to a deserted house in the north of the city today.

The visitor came in a hurry, wrapping his entire body in a dark cloak with a hood.He stopped when he reached the door, reached out and knocked on the door, three slow and three fast.

Not long after, there was a creaking sound, and the door was pulled open a thin crack.The person standing outside loosened his cloak, revealing his silver hair.

The person who answered the door let him in, then quickly closed the door and walked ahead to lead the way.There are nine winding corridors in the mansion, the corridors are full of backs, and the universe is hidden inside. It is by no means as simple and unadorned as it looks from the outside. The corridors alone are not very simple. One can tell that the owner of this house has a lot of background.

The two walked forward without saying a word, only lowering their heads, until they stopped in front of a room with faint candlelight.

"My master is waiting for you inside." After saying that, he bowed and retreated.

Cui Qianpei waited for the man to walk away before pushing the door open and entering.

"Meet your lord."

The man leaned against the wicker chair, raised his hand weakly and said: "Such vain etiquette can be omitted." After the man finished speaking, he leaned over to the incense burner, sniffed it lightly, and said, "This royal family Stuff just makes a difference, don't you think?"

"I don't understand the lowly position, I'm afraid it will spoil the adult's taste."

"Afraid?" The man giggled, "If you were afraid, you wouldn't ask me out at this critical moment."

"I know that I shouldn't disturb adults because of trivial matters, but..."

"Hey, you don't need to say too much, I have my own measure." The man slowly retracted into the rattan chair, "At this juncture, I dare not act rashly. I don't know where the Dali Temple gang found out. , What did you find out. You said that this is a pawn business, and it was doing well in the first place, how could it be smelled by the gang of Dali Temple all of a sudden? Bad luck, really bad luck."

Cui Qianpei bowed his head and said nothing, but his fists hanging beside his legs were tightly clenched.

Not long after, the man said again: "Could it be that there are ghosts in us?"

Cui Qianpei hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Wu, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Sansi glanced at him, and said impatiently: "I didn't say it was you, get up, don't just kneel."

"My lord!" Cui Qianpei still knelt down, "You know that Mr. Zhang has suffered bad luck, but the murderer has not been caught yet. Although I am temporarily spared from the disaster of killing myself, I don't know when I will teach those who are willing to kill me." Unprepared. And once Mr. Zhang dies, there will definitely be a new Jiedu Envoy to go back with the humble officer. If this person is not one of us, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Sansi laughed: "So you are afraid of this. It's not that I haven't heard the rumors in the capital in recent days. You don't have to worry, those rumors are nothing. You don't need to say, I The officials will also investigate thoroughly, and will definitely find out the ghosts who spread the rumors."

"Can……"

"Hey, you don't need to say anything. After the rain ceremony is over, you can go back. With my official here, you will be fine."

As soon as Wu Sansi said this, it was an order to expel the guest.Cui Qianpei didn't want to make fun of himself, he cupped his hands and thanked En repeatedly, then stood up and walked out the door, and was led away from the house by the person who answered the door just now.

The wooden door closed mercilessly.Cui Qianpei turned around and wrapped his silver hair in the windbreaker again.

Judging from the attitude of Cai Wu Sansi just now, there is no doubt that Cui Qianpei had already become an abandoned pawn when he asked for a re-examination of the accounts of the Ministry of Rites in Dali Temple, and it happened to be the part of the investigation of Linyi.When necessary, Wu Sansi will push him out to silence everyone.

It's a pity that Wu Sansiding didn't expect the depth of his city, and it was definitely not so light that he could deal with it.

It seemed that it was time for him to make some plans for himself.

Cui Qianpei sneered alone, quickened his pace, and got into the side alley in a flash.

His footsteps became more and more urgent, and the black cloak flew up because of this.

Ever since he left Wu Sansi's private house just now, there has been another footstep following him closely, followed by a murderous aura that cannot be underestimated.

Cui Qianpei stopped abruptly, but at the moment he stopped, there was a sound of breaking through the sky.

Two slender hidden weapons hit Cui Qianpei directly, piercing through his cloak with lightning speed.

Cui Qianpei used his internal strength to deflect two hidden arrows.Unexpectedly, the hidden arrow with the hook in front and the thread in the back, was shaken away by Cui Qianpei's internal force, then quickly hooked the windbreaker, and was pulled straight back by a brute force behind him.Ren Cui Qianpei has deep inner strength, and his horse gait could not withstand such a forceful pull, and he was pulled back several steps. The hat that was originally on his head was also ripped off at this time, and his silver hair made the moonlight It shines brightly.

Cui Qianpei was dragged by Shengsheng for several steps before he stepped on it. After stabilizing his figure, he quickly untied the cloak, and the concealed weapon immediately hooked the cloak he had just untied and turned back the same way.

This sound died out, and the other sound came up again.

Hearing the sound of "咻——", a cold light flashed under the moonlight, and deadly hidden weapons struck him from all directions again.

Cui Qianpei's black eyebrows were raised upright, as soon as his hands touched his belt, a black shadow flashed in front of him, "Ding Ding Dang Dang", the shadow of swords and swords, the visitor only held a sword flower, and all the hidden weapons that attacked him just now were wiped out. Sweep to the ground.

What a neat job!

Cui Qianpei shrank behind the man and sighed secretly: Sure enough, it is not suitable to go out today, and I don't know how long people from all directions have been staring at him.

"Di Renjie, come and protect Master Cui!" Hearing the man shout, he ran away in a hurry.

Di Renjie?

When Cui Qianpei heard this name, he suddenly felt as if he had been hit in the head. Some previously incomprehensible things seemed to be answered now.

Di Renjie guarded Cui Qianpei with a knife, stared at the direction where Yuchi disappeared, and said anxiously, "Master Cui, please follow Di to the corner. "

Cui Qianpei hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord? Oh, how could this be... You scared our family to death."

Di Renjie looked at him thoughtfully, then put down his knife and squatted down: "My lord, wait here for a while, and I will help Lord Yuchi catch the prisoner."

Cui Qianpei panicked and said, "It's just that Master Di..."

Di Renjie laughed and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to panic. I think you can deal with such a role alone." After saying that, he ran to Yuchi's side without looking back.

It is said that once Yuchi's real gold arrived, the person who attacked Cui Qianpei just now stopped attacking and just ran away, it seems that this person does not want to fight Yuchi.But Yuchi Zhenjin couldn't let him choose, he just tapped the ground and jumped to the wall, easily blocking the gangster's way.

Yuchi raised the tip of the real gold long knife, and the cold light fell on the gangster's face covered with black cloth.Yuchi snorted coldly, and said, "Aren't you going to catch him without a fight?"

The man remained silent, and only quickly lowered his eyes to glance at the point of the knife that was approaching his throat, then raised his eyes quickly, and then took a step back.

Yuchi Zhenjin knew that he wanted to play a small trick, so he used the tip of his knife to pry away the black cloth covering his face long before he thought of making a move.

"You never thought that this seat and Di Renjie would come here with you?" Yuchi Zhenjin said, shaking off the black cloth hanging from the tip of the knife.

The black cloth fell leisurely, and the moonlight reflected on the man's face through the blade.

It turned out to be a familiar face!

Yuchi scolded angrily: "Fan Wei! As the prime minister of my Dali Temple, instead of setting an example, you know how to break the law. You deliberately murdered important officials of the Tang Dynasty, spread rumors, and disturbed the discipline. What crime should you have?!"

Fan Wei's gaze shifted from the black cloth on the ground to Yuchi's face, and he suddenly smiled strangely.

As soon as Di Renjie arrived, he saw Fan Wei's face was lifted by Yuchi Zhenjin and his throat was pressed with a knife, while Fan Wei's hands behind his back were holding something, as if he was about to attack Yuchi Zhenjin!

"Lord be careful!"

Di Renjie exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, the hidden weapons in Fan Wei's hands were thrown straight at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie was only focused on saving Yuchi Zhenjin, but he never thought that these hidden weapons Fan Wei had prepared for himself. Seeing the hidden weapons coming straight to the door, he forgot to swing the knife to open it. straight ahead...
