Hexi

The news spread on the streets, and when Han Mo heard it, it was already noon, and he asked people to inquire about it, but he didn't have time to do anything about it. Seeing that it was almost dark, he sent people to pick up Su Wei.

Su Luo also had a tacit understanding and didn't ask anything, and got into the car driven by Yang You without saying a word.

Night shrouded the capital, and there was still moonlight tonight.

In front of the gate of Dali Temple, Han Mo got into the carriage, and then went to the street corner, the teahouse that Su Shou had designated last night.

"Wait here for me. I'll go and see first."

After Han Mo explained to her, he stepped into the teahouse.

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Cong greeted him: "Please, my son."

Han Mo followed him inside, guessing that Su Shou was waiting upstairs in the elegant house, but Wu Cong led him to the bottom of the stairs, but went straight over to the backyard.

Under the lantern in the backyard, Su Shou paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he had been waiting for a while.

"Master Su—"

Han Mo stepped forward to say hello, but Su Shou raised his hand to stop him before he finished speaking, and then pointed to the back door leading to the back alley: "This is not a place to talk, the prince follows me."

Han Mo was stunned, Su Wei was still waiting for him in the carriage outside!
"Your Majesty?" Su Shou squinted his eyes under the back door.

Han Mo had no choice but to wink at the guards and followed him.

Stepping out of the back door, this is a straight alley, one end leads to the street of Su Luo's carriage, and the other end connects to the depths of this residential area.

Su Shou walked in front and walked towards the deep alley, Han Mo followed closely, and Wu Cong stayed at the end.The hustle and bustle of the street gradually receded, and the moonlight hung brightly in the sky, casting a clear shadow on the ground.

Han Mo was puzzled, but before he could ask, Su Shou turned left halfway.

He seems to be very familiar with the terrain here, his eyes look straight, he doesn't look around, and he doesn't move around.

Han Mo looked up, and there was Dali Temple not far ahead, he finally couldn't hold back: "Your Excellency, are you trying to lure me back to the Yamen?"

"Ah."

Su Shou responded unhurriedly, but it was limited to this one word.

Han Mo said again: "Since we are going back to the yamen, why do we have to make a detour?"

Su Shou walked a few more steps, looked back at him, didn't say anything, but continued to move forward.

Not long after this, there was a wall blocking the front, and after another turn, there was a door in front of it.

The door could only allow two people to pass through at the same time, Wu Cong stepped forward and knocked, and the door opened, only to see a small yamen servant appear in front of him, calling "Master Su" and "Your Majesty".

Han Mo was startled: "Aren't you the yamen servant from last night?"

The other party paused, and then leaned over: "If you come back to the son, the younger one's surname is Zhang, and the humble name is the word lax."

Han Mo still had confidence in his memory, this Zhang Xie, he recognized as the one who sent a letter to the prison last night saying that Chang Eun had something to report!
He thought for a while, and immediately turned to Su Shou: "Master Su, what's going on? Last night, why did you plan to send my father and me away?"

Strictly speaking, he not only sent away their father and son, but also sent Su Wei away, and when he came back, he saw Su Shou squatting in front of Chang Wei, and Chang Wei looked very wrong.

At that time, because I was eager to know what Chang Wei recruited, I didn't investigate carefully. Now Zhang Xie is actually waiting for Su Shou. Isn't it obvious that they have a problem?
"You don't have to worry about it, son, what happened last night was just to lure Chang Wei to confess."

Su Shou crossed the door and entered, stood in the courtyard and looked back: "Your Majesty, please come in."

Han Mo enters.

This courtyard is very small, presumably it should be a convenient door on the easternmost side of the yamen.The surroundings were so quiet that even the voice of the guards on duty could not be heard.Zhang Xie, who opened the door earlier, had gone somewhere with Wu Cong.

He asked: "My lord led me here, why exactly?"

Su Shou said: "At noon today, the story of Chang Wei's night trial in Dali Temple spread. Does your son know?"

Han Mo nodded slowly: "I heard a little."

"I invite my son to come here, I want to ask my son to follow me to heaven and guard it."

"Go to the prison?" Han Mo became more and more confused, "Your Excellency is going to interrogate Chang Wei again?"

"No," Su Shou said decisively, "I just want to confirm some conjectures. But I am short of manpower, and the son is strong in martial arts, and the guards are not weak. This matter is already yours. ——Let's go."

After speaking, he stepped forward.And this time the footsteps became quicker, from the gate to the sky prison, passing through countless corridors, and I can't remember how many courtyards there were, and finally the scenery gradually became familiar, it was the courtyard outside the sky prison that I visited last night.

Su Shou didn't enter the door, and turned to the east with his toes. There is another door here, which is the corridor leading to the prison.

The yamen guard at the door didn't say much, and let him go after recognizing him.Han Mo entered the door and subconsciously wanted to go in, but Su Shou pulled his sleeve and pulled him to the side window.

The windows are made of wood with simple railings, and people can have a clear view of the moonlight scene outside the window.

Han Mo realized something: "Who are you waiting for?"

Master Su stared at him for a moment, and then suddenly turned his gaze to him: "Your Majesty has been investigating Yuan Qing's case for quite a while now, what do you think about Chang Wei's case?"

Along the way, Han Mo became more and more suspicious, but at this moment, he also felt that Su Shou's purpose for finding him here was absolutely extraordinary.

After concentrating for a while, he said, "Your Majesty does have a lot of puzzles about this case. It's just that before you confess, can your lord clearly explain why we are here?"

Su Shou nodded, looked directly at him and said: "The news of the night trial in Dali Temple has been spread, and the prince heard it, and the people concerned will also hear it. According to the prince, what should those people do after hearing the news at this moment?" reaction?"

Han Mo was slightly taken aback: "What does your lord mean... are we going to sit here and wait?"

Su Shou said, "That's right."

Han Mo was immediately moved: "Then today's rumors..."

"Exactly." Su Shou nodded deeply, without making any circles: "I also released the wind."

Han Mo didn't know what to say, maybe it would be a good idea to wait for him to continue.

"As the son guessed, we don't know anything about the Sun Xiong Chang He went to, except for his name, and we don't know where to find it. So I came up with an idea, let the wind out, and wait here look."

Han Mo thought: "The date of Chang Wei's death can be determined at any time, but he still urged Chang He to look for that Sun Xiong, and the things he took away are also very mysterious. From this point of view, the case has indeed not been revealed. However, my lord Are you sure they'll take the bait?"

Su Shou looked out the window: "Whether you will be hooked or not, you will know if you wait until you see it?"

Han Mo followed his gaze and looked out. Under the moonlight, only the breeze was moving, while the rest was as quiet as usual.
