It was now approaching curfew time, and Jiu'er's carriage should have returned to the waiters' area at this time.
But Jiu'er had no intention of returning to the palace, and instead headed towards the Black Rock District.
Chen Tian took advantage of the night to follow the carriage from a distance, but he would not lose it.
Even Changsun was surprised by Chen Tian's tracking methods.
In terms of tracking alone, Chen Tian was even better than those warriors who could hide themselves.
The carriage traveled for about half an hour and reached its destination.
The eldest grandson was a little surprised. He actually knew the place where Jiu'er came from, which was Dean Wu's blacksmith shop.
Chen Tian was also a little surprised. Isn't this the same shop that he followed the young man to two days ago?
Jiuer got off the car and stood in front of the shop and waited for a moment. The door of the shop opened and Yun Xuezhi walked out.
"It's actually him..."
Chen Tian was a little shocked. It turned out to be the young master whom he followed last time. At the same time, Chen Tian lowered his body even lower, fearing that he would be discovered by this young master like last time.
Jiu'er looked at the handsome Yun Xuezhi in front of him. Even though he had just experienced a physical collision with Tang Huaide, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, "What a handsome man."
After coming back to his senses, Jiuer began to talk about business with Yunxue Zhi.
"Jiu'er has met Master Yun."
Jiuer bowed to Yun Xuezhi in a polite manner.
Yun Xuezhi had already been notified by Jiu'er's messengers before, and he knew Jiu'er's identity very well, so he didn't dare to tell anyone.
After Yun Xuezhi returned the favor, he got straight to the point. After all, meeting women outside at this time would attract unnecessary criticism even with the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.
"I wonder why Miss Jiuer came to visit us late at night?"
"Master Yun has been in charge of Tang Huaian's case recently. Just looking at the working environment, we can tell a little bit about Master Yun's hard work. When we return to the palace, we will definitely report your master's achievements to the truth."
Yun Xuezhi frowned. He was working for the current emperor and did not want to please the eldest princess.
But Yun Xuezhi was not a fool, and he would not refuse harshly, so he thanked him.
Only then did Jiuer get to the point.
"Master knows that Tang Huaian's case is really difficult to solve, so he sent the little girl here to ask if there is any difficulty in it."
Yun Xuezhi was stunned and didn't understand what Jiu'er meant.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. It is an honor for students to serve the imperial court. Now that there is no progress in the case, how dare you ask the princess."
Jiu'er nodded. Yun Xuezhi showed the same respect for the eldest princess in his words, but in Jiu'er's opinion, he was not very smart.
Based on her understanding of the eldest princess, she would usually make such an arrangement, which must be to win over Yun Xuezhi.
And with the character of the eldest princess, as long as you speak at this time, the eldest princess will definitely give you a favor, and then you will be regarded as the eldest princess's person.
And Yun Xuezhi rejected the eldest princess's kindness, that is, he rejected the "invitation letter" sent by the princess.
Jiuer smiled and said nothing, planning to take a carriage back to the palace.
But before getting on the carriage, he turned back to Yun Xuezhi and said, "By the way, the master specifically asked..."
"Tang Huaian's death is not a simple murder case. You can start from what he did before and see if you can gain anything..."
"At that time, my lord will decide whether there is any difficulty and the princess needs help."
After finishing speaking, Jiuer got in the car and left.
But Yun Xuezhi didn't leave late at night. He didn't know whether he was regretting his rejection of the eldest princess's kindness before, or he was trying to figure out what Jiu'er's words meant...
…
In the next few days, Chen Tian no longer had time to investigate Jiu'er's back-up plan.
Because Lu Si was arrested!
At this time, Chen Tian was a little scared.
Chen Tian knew Lu Si well. Lu Si was timid and fearful, especially himself. As long as the policemen started to interrogate Lu Si, they probably wouldn’t need to punish him, so he would immediately do something.
Everything has been recruited.
Lu Si still doesn't know that there are so many things behind this bag of treasures. If he does it then, neither of them will survive.
The top priority now is to find a way to tell Lu Si, and you must keep your mouth shut!
After much thought, Chen Tian had no way to pass the news to Lu Si in prison.
"There's only one way!"
At his wits' end, Chen Tian decided to throw himself into a trap and let himself be arrested. Only in this way could he have a chance to meet Lu Si.
But before he was caught again, Chen Tian did one more thing.
"Jiu Wan Fang Feilan wears it well. There is no one in the empty valley, and I blame myself for my clever eyebrows. The treasures are cool and mellow through the ages. The Zhu silk string is broken and I have few close friends."
This poem by the eldest princess spread throughout the imperial capital overnight and became a golden saying that literati have been reciting in recent days.
And the most amazing thing is that a cloth shop in the imperial capital actually shipped a batch of cloth embroidered with this poem as soon as the poem was recited.
Riding on the "east wind" of the poem, the sales of cloth skyrocketed.
All this was done by Chen Tian, but the original idea was to confuse Tang Huaide and Jiuer.
With the continuous influx of cloth embroidered with this poem on the market, the bellyband matter naturally becomes less important.
When both Tang Huaide and Tang Huaide feel that this matter is no longer so difficult, the loss of property will naturally become a trivial matter, and they probably won't be so concerned about it.
After all, it is a bellyband. Even if the thief is caught in the end, the reputation of the two will be greatly damaged if the incident spreads. Instead, it is more appropriate to cover up the incident quietly as it is now.
After taking care of Tang Huaide and his two men, the only thing that needs to be taken care of next is Dali Temple.
Because of Tang Huaide's ridiculous reasons, Dali Temple will definitely spare no effort to arrest him, but he only needs to hold on until Tang Huaian's case is solved, and Dali Temple will naturally no longer be entangled with his little thief.
To understand all this, the next thing Chen Tian has to do is to "take risks", go deep into the prison, find a way to get close to Lu Si, and tell him to hold on. As long as they hold on for this time, the two of them will enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”.
For a person with a criminal record like Chen Tian, it is simply too easy to go to jail at this time of crisis.
Without any effort, Chen Tian was caught by the Yamen and thrown into prison.
Chen Tian's hands and feet were shackled and he followed a jailer.
The jailer walked in front carelessly. In the past two days, countless thieves like Chen Tian were caught in prison.
However, Chen Tian was lucky. He had met this jailer several times, and he had shown "filial respect" to this official in the prison before.
Chen Tian immediately seized the opportunity and trotted behind the jailer.
"Master, master, master..."
The jailer ignored Chen Tian, and Chen Tian simply grabbed the jailer's sleeve.
"Ah, what do you want to do? You want to die!"
The jailer immediately took out the whip from his waist and gave Chen Tian two blows.
While blocking with his body, Chen Tian shouted: "Master, show mercy, it's me. The little thief Chen Tian, I have treated you with filial piety before..."
The jailer didn't remember Chen Tian. Hearing Chen Tian's words, he stopped waving his whip and took a closer look. He really had an impression.
"Oh, it's you, coming in again."
Chen Tianqi smiled and said yes. Taking advantage of this moment, he hurried forward and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, intending to give it to the jailer.
When the jailer saw Chen Tian approaching, he wanted to crack his whip again. Chen Tian hurriedly showed the money in his hand, and then the jailer gave up. .
The jailer opened his sleeves, turned around and looked around to see if there were any colleagues around him.
Chen Tian understood, hurriedly came over and stuffed the broken silver in his hand into the jailer's sleeve.
"Well, tell me, what do you want to ask me for?"
Chen Tian felt relieved. In this place, the jailer is the master. If you don't agree to help you after receiving the money, there is nothing you can do.
"Don't dare to trouble me, the little thief has a good brother who also entered this prison a few days ago. Please tell me
Master Fan arranged for me to be in the same cell as this brother..."
The jailer glanced at Chen Tian. He was a sensible little thief. It was not difficult to ask for it, so he agreed immediately.
In this way, Chen Tian spent some effort and finally found Lu Si in the cell.
When Lu Si saw that Chen Tian had also been imprisoned, he thought that the matter had been exposed, and was heartbroken. He had helped Chen Tian keep secrets for the past few days, and there was no point in keeping secrets. Instead, he would be implicated as an accomplice.
Chen Tian didn't expect that Lu Si hadn't confessed himself yet, and he was surprised but also a little moved.
"Okay, stop nagging, be quiet and listen to me."
Chen Tian interrupted Lu Si's rambling.
"The matter hasn't been revealed yet. The most important thing for us next is to be patient. We must not tell anyone about the baby, otherwise we will all die..."
Then Chen Tian told Lu Si everything about the past two days. Lu Si was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
He never thought that just because he wanted to get a piece of Chen Tian's money, he would be involved in a murder case.
"Lu Si, now we are just grasshoppers on a rope. As long as a little bit of news is leaked out, we will both die without a burial place!"
After calming down, Lu Si could only choose to go to the dark side with Chen Tian.
Because there were so many thieves in jail during this period, Chen Tian and Lu Si were not interrogated several times over the past few days, and they were just going through the motions every time.
It wasn't until a few days later that Chen Tian noticed that the atmosphere in the cell had changed. All the inmates in the cell next to him had been cleared away, and a new person was moved in.
"It's him!"
Chen Tian and Zhang Sun felt shocked at the same time.
The newcomer who lived next to Chen Tian and Lu Si turned out to be Yun Xuezhi!
"My lord, my lord..."
When Chen Tian saw an acquaintance, he couldn't help but step forward to say hello.
Yun Xuezhi turned his head and glanced at Chen Tian and others who were locked up next to them, with cold eyes and ignored them.
Yun Xuezhi was already in an extremely depressed mood once he was transformed from the top scholar to a prisoner. How could he be in the mood to deal with two thieves?
"Brother Tian'er, do you know him?"
Lu Si asked curiously.
Chen Tian then told Lu Si about how he had followed Yun Xuezhi and was finally discovered in Heiyan District.
"Bah, what kind of young master? Aren't you being imprisoned here just like us? You're still looking aloof and arrogant. Who are you showing off to..."
People at the bottom like Lu Si have a natural inferiority complex and resistance to those in high positions. At this time, Yun Xuezhi, who saw the same predicament, only felt a sense of "reincarnation in heaven" in his heart.
Chen Tianwu explained to Lu Si in the world, but he was concerned about why Yun Xue Zhihui was imprisoned here.
By eavesdropping on the conversation between Jiu'er and Yun Xuezhi that day, Chen Tian could infer that the official presiding over Tang Huaian's murder case was Yun Xuezhi in front of him.
So according to his plan, whether Yun Xuezhi solves the case has become the key to his escape.
