Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 12

At this moment, Ling Changfeng didn't know that Mencius Yan was leading a large group of people to Qingfeng Tower. After a full meal, he discussed with Xiaolan about the two people from the Western Regions just now, and at the same time teased Xiaoyu who was full.Drinking the fragrant tea sent by the shopkeeper, you are leisurely and leisurely, and at this moment it is also very comfortable.

After resting enough, the two got up and left together.Pushing open the finely carved wooden door of the private room, I saw the shopkeeper leading the way with a smile on his face, followed by a middle-aged man in the official uniform of Dali Temple.

The man's eyes are like a red phoenix, his eyebrows are like lying silkworms, his eyes are full of spirit, his lips are square, his mouth is straight, his chin has an inch-long beard, his appearance is imposing, and he can tell at a glance that he is a person who has been in a high position for a long time.Ling Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and seeing his clothes, he knew that this person must be Mencius Yan, the Minister of Dali Temple!

Mencius stepped up the stairs on the third floor and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him. He was handsome and gentle like jade, dressed in white clothes like an exiled immortal.He thought to himself: What a young and handsome boy!
Behind him, Xu Fu Yin saw Ling Changfeng coming out of the box, and asked sharply: "Mr. Ling! Well, you have been here for a long time. It seems that when we are handling the case, you are happy alone. What a leisure! I can't come to pay my respects to Mr. Meng!"

As soon as Mencius heard this, he knew that this person was the special envoy sent by His Majesty, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face, and he just said: "No need, this is the special envoy sent by the Emperor. However, it seems that The envoy already has a lot of experience in the trial of the case, so he will have time to spend time here."

Ling Changfeng pretended to be hesitant, sighed, and said: "Master Meng doesn't know something. It's not surprising that the modus operandi of this case is so sophisticated, but I don't have the slightest idea of ​​the motive of committing the crime, so I came here to drink away my worries. Unexpectedly, here I met your lord, could it be that your lord has some good news? I hope lord Meng will give you some advice."

Mencius choked on him, but snorted angrily.He lost his affection for Ling Changfeng in his heart, and his handsome face just now became even more hateful.

Seeing that her young master deliberately teased Mencius Yan, Xiao Lan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling rather amused.Unexpectedly, he was caught by the angry Mencius Yan.

Mencius turned his head and asked Mr. Xu sharply, "Mr. Xu, you told me in Fireworks Lane just now that Mr. Ling was the first witness to the death, right?"

Xu Fu Yin still didn't understand why he had such doubts, so he nodded in agreement.Mencius said again: "Then this girl is the second witness? Why not detain her for interrogation? Is she also a special envoy appointed by His Majesty?"

Yin of the Xu Mansion suddenly felt his brain clear and his eyesight clear, secretly thinking that he was so confused by Ling Changfeng's suppression, why didn't he think of this.Immediately replied: "Your Excellency, this woman is indeed the second witness. Because she has been with the special envoy all the time, she has not been interrogated. It is the negligence of the subordinate officials! Come here, temporarily detain the suspect! Wait until you return to the mansion. interrogation."

Seeing that the two were about to arrest her as if they were singing a double reed, Xiaolan sneered in her heart, but she was flustered on the surface, her delicate face showed a look of fear, and she timidly hid behind Ling Changfeng.Then he secretly pinched his young master fiercely with his hand.

Xu Fuyin had the backing of Mencius Yan, so he was no longer as respectful to Ling Changfeng as he was earlier.

I saw Xiaolan hiding behind Ling Changfeng, poking her head up to look at herself, and even the cat was also poking up to look at it.One person and one cat protruded from Ling Changfeng's left and right shoulders. Looking at it from the front, Ling Changfeng seemed to have three heads, which was quite funny.

Seeing this, Mencius asked, "Why, Mr. Ling wants to hide the suspect?! Your Majesty asked you to supervise and handle the case, but you yourself have no law. What should you do?"

Ling Changfeng bared his teeth when he was pinched, and said flatly: "Everyone says that Master Meng solved countless major suspicious cases during his tenure as Minister of Dali Temple in the capital. Just a nice guy."

Before Mencius could answer, he shook his head and said, "Master Meng knew that someone had reported the crime, and did he know that my maid was the first to call the neighbor to the scene? Have you ever seen such a stupid murderer? We were summoned and interrogated by the county magistrate of Qin that day, and we did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty! It is really sad that the Tang Dynasty has such a minister of Dali Temple and a governor of a city!"

At this moment, Ling Changfeng mentioned County Magistrate Qin's heart, planning to go all the way to the dark, and the only way to do it now is to hug Ling Changfeng's thigh tightly.So he nodded in response, saying that he had already tried the two and did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Mencius Yan saw that he didn't get any advantage, and Ling Changfeng brought in a helper. Although it was only a small county magistrate, it had no effect on the overall situation.I still have a high regard for Ling Changfeng's ability in my heart.After thinking about it, he said: "You are such a sharp-tongued Mr. Ling. Since you and the county magistrate of Qin are the guarantors, I believe it. But Mr. Ling just said that I am not capable of handling cases, so I don't know if I can gamble with this officer. A gamble?"

Ling Changfeng smiled lightly and said: "In the capital, I seldom gamble with others, because every time I win, it's too boring. But Master Meng is interested in betting against me, so I reluctantly, and bet with Master Meng One round. I wonder what Master Meng wants to bet on?"

Seeing that Ling Changfeng was extremely confident, Mencius said, "Don't get too excited, let's bet on who will find the murderer who killed Lord Si Tianjian first. I wonder if you dare to bet?"

"Why don't you dare, what's the bet?" Ling Changfeng asked.

"Just bet on your special envoy token. If I find it first, I will ask Mr. Ling to send a message to His Majesty, saying that I am not talented enough to take on this great task." Mencius said confidently.

"What if I find it first?" Ling Changfeng asked leisurely, as if he wasn't worried about losing the bet.

"If you find it first, I will listen to you." Mencius replied.

"Okay! If I find it first, please let go of this case, and I will take full responsibility!"

"Young Master Ling, it's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

Meng Ziyan looked at Ling Changfeng again, his eyes met, and the six big round eyes on the opposite side also looked at him, and he was immediately defeated.

Xu Fuyin smiled sheepishly, and said: "Since the matter is clear, let's go to eat first, Mr. Meng. We will check the details after returning to the mansion. There is no need to waste time here. Shopkeeper Ma, lead the way!"

Mencius nodded and walked straight forward.Also ignore the "Three Heads Ling Changfeng" on the side.

When everyone walked away, Xiaolan giggled, and said with a look of air: "Master, this time we have completely defeated that Mr. Meng. Hmph, Xiaoyu's one eye is bigger than his two, and he dares to stare at us."

Xiaoyu seemed to know that she was praising herself, and it was also a meow output, as if she was saying that she was the main force in the fight just now.

Ling Changfeng pampered the two, smiled and said, "Let's go, we have to work next. Let's find Xiaoyu a Dali Temple Minister to be a shit-shoveling officer!"
