Chapter 185: Stepping on the Snow Leaves Traces
Li Jun recalled the scene that happened outside the Dali Temple last night, those people, those things, and that background.
Snowflakes were flying, strong winds were blowing, and the horses were tapping on the snow, making impatient neighing.
He and Lu Jingzhang were standing in front of the door and having a brief conversation. At this time, the paper slips with stones flew to them, rolled on the ground a few times, and then stopped in front of Lu Jingzhang.
This is too accurate!
Snow.
Li Jun suddenly thought of this word.
The snow was very strong that night, and snowflakes began to fall after dark, but within an hour, the snow had already piled up.
By the time Li Jun and the others went out, the snow would be overwhelmed with their feet.
However, in this case, no footprints of others appeared around them.
Yes, it's footprints.
The scene of last night flashed in front of his eyes, like a holographic image, and he did not dare to forget these details.
A straight snow line on the eaves indicates that there is no gentleman squatting in the room.
In front of them, the only few fine footprints were either his or Lu Jingzhang's.
Then, it can be seen that at this time, no one else passed by the gate of Dali Temple.
In this case, how did the traitor deliver the secret letter to them?
A supernatural power of the blink of an eye?
This question arose in his heart.
Six-Meridian Divine Sword?
Even more unlikely.
Those who can use this trick can only send letters from outside the door. The spies assigned by the princess are all working in Dali Temple and cannot get out at all.
"Jingzhang, please recall whether there were suspicious footprints in front of us last night?"
"footprint?"
Lu Jingzhang tried hard to recall, but in the end, he shook his head.
"I remember, no."
"That's right!" Li Jun yelled with his hands.
"The person who delivered the letter must be one of the patrol guards."
"You can compare it. Among the guards who were in charge in front of the door last night, were there anyone who came in from peace?"
"Have a minute, your Highness," Lu Jingzhang opened another roster, looked at it for a moment, and said in surprise: "Yes, this person is this person." He clicked a name on the roster, and Li Jun glanced at it, but saw that the person was named Wang Ze, which was exactly twenty-one.
"It was him who was the one who was the one who was at the Guardian Yamen last night. And he also met the conditions. He was originally from Princess Taiping's mansion and sent it in with those groups."
Li Jun slapped his thigh: "That's this person."
"Where is he now, I'll ask him."
"He should have changed his duty, and now he should be patrolling the yamen."
Lu Jingzhang called an inner guard in and ordered: "Go and call Wang Ze in. I have something to ask him, talk well, don't scare him."
This final instruction made the inner guard confused and called him, how could he scare him? Wang Ze is not a mouse.
In the Dali Temple, Wang Ze certainly did not expect that he would be exposed so quickly.
He was also leisurely and patrolled the yard with a few brothers.
The two inner guards came over, without saying a word, and took him to Lu Jingzhang without much effort.
The inner guards met Lu Jingzhang's request in their own way. Since they were not allowed to speak nonsense, they would stop talking and would just do things.
When he arrived at the main hall of Dali Temple, Wang Ze couldn't even stand steadily.
These two great Buddhas are here, and there is no need to say anything, everything has been discovered.
For the current plan, I could only grit my teeth and ask questions and find out.
Li Jun also saw what he meant. It didn't matter what his attitude was. He reached out and signaled Lu Jingzhang to be responsible for interrogation.
Lu Jingzhang handed the note to Wang Ze and said, "You gave it to you."
Wang Ze turned his head and replied: "The little one doesn't know this thing."
Hey, resist stubbornly, look at his attitude.
Li Jun was angry. If it weren't for the beautiful image of self-discipline and loving the people, he would have been punished and would have been tortured here.
He really treated himself as a dish.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Chen Xing, we have already caught him. He told you about your affairs, including your spy in Dali Temple. It would be useless to hide it any longer!" Lu Jingzhang said with a cold face.
When he heard that Chen Xing was still alive, Wang Ze instantly felt like a deflated ball and his whole body was thrusting.
Somehow, he actually started to get his lips twitched a few times, then he fell to the ground with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.
OK, pretend to be dead, this is.
To be honest, Dali Temple has been handling cases for many years, and Lu Jingzhang has been very knowledgeable, but he has never seen such a person before.
A Dali Temple guard actually played the trick of a rogue.
"Hey, wake up, stop pretending!"
Lu Jingzhang kicked him a few indecently. Although he didn't use much force, it also made Wang Ze's back and buttocks hurt and he couldn't lie down.
He opened his eyes and looked at the round caisson in the main hall of Dali Temple, leaving his ears to Lu Jingzhang.
"Wang Ze, I just recalled that your performance at Dali Temple was not doing anything bad except sending letters to Cui Xi. You should get up now and honestly explain that I can leave it to the past."
Send a letter to Cui Xi?
So they thought so, and Wang Ze suddenly became energetic and sat up cross-legged.
After wiping the spit from his mouth, he replied: "Little Xie Shaoqing fulfilled it!"
"Okay, get up and reply!"
Lu Jingzhang and Li Jun exchanged glances and sat back to their seats.
"Shaoqing Mingjian, the youngest is indeed Mr. Cui. Oh, no, it was sent by the criminal Cui. Originally, the youngest was not a member of Cui, but a princess. Later, Cui was familiar with the princess, and he also asked the youngest to help him pass the message. Xiao thought to himself that he was the princess's guest, and the youngest should obey his orders. The youngest had once been angry with His Highness the Princess, and His Highness agreed to He would do this."
"So, he gave you that note last night?" Li Jun asked with a raised eyebrows.
“That’s right.”
Wang Ze said it very smoothly, because these statements are true.
His real motives are hidden behind these seamless lies, and no one has noticed them yet.
"Let me guess how you delivered this ball of paper to us yesterday."
"At that time, you were in charge of the yamen, and this piece of paper was always on your body, maybe hidden in your sleeves, maybe put in your arms, in your arms, in short, it was placed secretly."
"You are waiting for the opportunity and watching His Royal Highness and the Crown Prince finally go out. You throw it on the ground while no one is paying attention and stand quickly. I guess right?"
Wang Ze was stunned: "Yes, Shaoqing is right!"
This is not a compliment, it is completely sincere. Except for the origin of this note, all Wang Ze's movements were pointed out by Lu Jingzhang.
Since it was dark, it was his turn to serve in front of the yamen, he had kept this note in his sleeve.
When Lu Jingzhang and Li Jun walked out, while they were talking about the fun of each other, he slid the paper ball from his sleeve to his hand, and secretly pushed the paper ball into front of them.
