I don't know how long I've slept.

Pei Shaoqing was suddenly awakened by the sound of even more drums.

"Bang...bang bang!"

"Zi Zheng, lurking Dun! All things are in chaos!"

Is it already twelve o'clock? Pei Shaoqing's heart sank.

The situation is a little wrong. Why haven’t the palace come to catch anyone?

Just by how much Wu Zetian favors Princess Taiping, as long as Princess Taiping speaks, even death row prisoners can be forgiven, let alone a group of guards who stop at the cliff.

What's more, they have made contributions to protecting each other!

Could it be that Princess Taiping changed her mind?

It is not logical. Taiping's little girl's simplicity is definitely not pretending. Her joys, angers, sorrows and happiness are almost written on her face. She said that she would plead with Wu Zetian for them, so she would definitely plead!

Then the question arises, which link has made mistakes?

Just when Pei Shaoqing was puzzled, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cell.

Someone finally came from the palace? Pei Shaoqing was immediately excited and was not afraid of having a good meal, so he would be fine when he came.

After leaning a little, a figure appeared outside the iron door with a lantern, then took out the key and opened the lock.

With the hazy lights, Pei Shaoqing vaguely recognized that this person was the prison chief who bought wine during the day. To be honest, the surname black is really rare, so Pei Shaoqing remembered it immediately.

Pei Shaoqing was a little disappointed when he saw that there was only one prison chief in the surname Hei.

It seems different from what he guessed, it wasn't a palace to catch people.

Otherwise, one or two eunuchs should have been sent over.

Sure enough, the prison chief surnamed Hei opened the door and asked, "I haven't been asleep yet?"

"Just just woke up." Pei Shaoqing shook his head and asked tentatively, "Can we leave?"

"I don't know." The prison chief surnamed Hei shook his head and said again, "You have to ask Di Sicheng to know."

"Di Sicheng?" Pei Shaoqing's heart arose again and asked, "Where are others?"

"He is waiting for you in the straight room." The Prison Chief said, "Follow me."

Pei Shaoqing looked back at Cui Er and Di Guangzhao, and asked again: "Do you want to wake them up?"

"No need." The Prison Chief shook his head and said, "Di Sicheng only ordered you to go there alone."

"Okay." Pei Shaoqing didn't say much at the moment and followed the prison chief out of the prison cell.

It was already the second half of the night, and the bright moon was hanging in the sky, sprinkling silver lights. The lamp buildings, lamp wheels and lamp trees in Chang'an City were also shining brightly under the night sky.

Today is the last night of the Lantern Festival, so it is naturally particularly lively.

Unfortunately, this kind of excitement has nothing to do with Pei Shaoqing.

Entered the direct room.

Di Renjie is reviewing the files at his desk.

"Are you hungry?" Di Renjie didn't look up.

Di Renjie's attitude made Pei Shaoqing feel a little relieved.

In any case, this is not like the attitude of being a prisoner.

Pei Shaoqing nodded and said, "There's a little bit."

I didn't eat anything seriously yesterday. In the evening, I asked Di Guangzhao's Fu to eat half of roast chicken and a few steamed cakes, but I have been digested until now.

Young people have good digestion.

Di Renjie said to the prison chief: "Heifu, go to Tianjie to buy some food."

"Here!" The prison chief Heifu bowed and turned around and went out to Tianjie to buy food.

Today is the last night of the Shangyuan Festival holiday, and the food shops in Chang'an City are still open all night long.

The straight room fell silent again, Pei Shaoqing didn't speak, and Di Renjie was also thinking about how to start the topic?

In the end, Di Renjie broke the silence first, put the file and brush in his hand on the desk, and said with a smile: "Pei Xiaolangjun, I should thank you even if I talk about it."

Pei Shaoqing said: "What do you say about Di Sicheng?"

Di Renjie said: "Di has been in the officialdom for more than twenty years, but he is just a Dali Temple Chief who is from the sixth rank. But today you gave Di a gift to protect him."

"But Di was promoted to three levels in a row, becoming the Dali Temple Master who was from the fifth grade."

Pei Shaoqing looked carefully and realized that the color of Di Renjie's official uniform had really changed. When they met during the day, they were still green robes, but now they turned into red robes. Because the light was dim and I didn't look carefully, I didn't notice it.

Also, Di Renjie's belt was also replaced with a silver belt to a golden belt.

Pei Shaoqing said, "I want to congratulate Di Sizheng when I say so."

Di Renjie waved his hand and sighed, "So, Di is in a difficult situation."

Di Renjie was really embarrassed. He didn't want to take over this mission at first because it was against his original intention, but when he saw the queen in a dilemma, he could only reluctantly take over it.

I hope that Pei Xiaolangjun will not resent him in the future.

Pei Shaoqing's heart sank when he heard this and asked, "What is Di Si in a dilemma?"

Di Renjie said: "I'm in a dilemma, I don't know how to tell you."

Pei Shaoqing said: "It has something to do with the case?"

Di Renjie said: "Yes, not."

Pei Shaoqing was silent, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Otherwise, I'd better tell you about this case first." Di Renjie said, "This case is very complicated because it involves many forces, not only the left Xiaowei, but also the right guards are involved. There are also shadows of Tubo people and Western Turks behind it, and there are even people from the palace involved."

"And this is just a glimpse of the leopard."

"When the truth is revealed, I don't know how many people will be involved."

"In order to thoroughly investigate this case, the Queen of Heaven has issued an imperial edict, and Dali Temple, together with the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate, jointly tried the case. However, it is rare for the three departments to be judged."

Pei Shaoqing nodded silently.

The so-called three-sector judge is probably the three-sector judge.

This specification is indeed high enough, which shows how much Wu Zetian attaches importance to this case.

Di Renjie continued: "However, the part about you Hechuan, Zhangye and Chishui Guardian City in this case has been investigated clearly."

"So quickly?" Pei Shaoqing said in surprise, "Have you investigated it clearly?"

"We have investigated it clearly." Di Renjie said, "I won't tell you more about it, but the more than 50 guards who were sent to Chang'an City by you three guards and guards and guards to Chang'an City are indeed deceived."

"You just want to make money for your life."

"But it was taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives."

The ominous feeling in Pei Shaoqing's heart suddenly became even stronger.

Since the situation about the guard and capture the Lang has been investigated clearly, why did the court refuse to let them go?

No matter what, they all saved Princess Taiping, which was a reward for saving the Lord!

Not that what happened to Uncle Jiu and the others in the end because they refused to arrest him?

Pei Shaoqing said anxiously: "Is something wrong with Uncle Jiu and the others?"

"Uncle Jiu? Are you talking about Cui Jiu?" Di Renjie said, "They are very good."

"Very good?" Pei Shaoqing asked with a frown, "Where are they?"

"In the prison of the Ministry of Justice." Di Renjie said, "It's very safe."

Pei Shaoqing breathed a little relieved, he believed Di Renjie would not lie to him.
