Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

On the second day, when Tang Wuyi got up, he saw Tang Jingxiao arranging his luggage, and his energy seemed to be rather sluggish.This time when Tang Jingxiao returned to Luoyang, he didn't do any business. He expected that he would have to work hard in the capital again.Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Tang Wuyi said: "Brother, let's go back to the capital after a two-day break. You will be tired after riding a horse like this."

Tang Jingxiao shook his head and said, "Wuyi, the day after tomorrow will be the Holy Majesty's Dragon Boat Festival, why did you forget? How can I not go?"

"Yes, sister-in-law is going too." Tang Wuyi said.Ever since Tang Jingxiao married the Queen's sister, the Holy Majesty granted them a general's mansion to live in. Tang Wuyi usually lives in Dongdu Pavilion, and he is not familiar with this sister-in-law. He has only met a few times. A lady from Kyoto.

"You!" Tang Jingxiao poked Tang Wuyi's forehead, "It's been more than a year since you came to see us in the capital, running outside all day long. Dongdu Pavilion must have received an invitation for this Dragon Boat Festival, you Won't you come with me?"

Tang Wuyi hated this kind of royal banquet the most in his life. His Dongdu Pavilion was not a serious institution, so even if he received an invitation, he could just slip away.He laughed at himself and said: "Brother, you are the general of Shence, and that is the highest ranking in the Linde Palace. Except for the princes of various families, who can surpass you? In the first row, every time the seat assigned to me is far away from the Linde Hall, I can’t even see the face of the Holy Majesty. You can just say that I have gone to handle the case. Anyway, the Dragon Boat Festival in Dongdu Pavilion has already passed. It’s not a disrespect to give it away.”

"Are you really not going?" Tang Jingxiao asked.

"No, Mr. Pu just left, I can't bear it, I want to check again." Tang Wuyi said seriously.

When Mr. Pu was mentioned, Tang Jingxiao's expression was also stagnant. Although he always respected Mr. Pu, he was not like Mr. Pu who was Tang Wuyi's tutor. The Dragon Boat Festival is also justifiable.

Tang Jingxiao nodded and said, "Alright, let me know if you find out anything." After finishing speaking, he strode out.

Due to time constraints, Tang Jingxiao took two horses and planned to change rides on the road.As soon as he stepped on the stirrups, he felt dizzy when he took a step, and almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, Tang Wuyi quickly supported him from below, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Tang Jingxiao said, "It's just hot weather." He took out his water bag and drank a big mouthful of water, then turned around and got on the horse again. Just as he was about to leave, Tang Wuyi took the rein of the horse and said, "Wait a minute, I'll follow you go together."

"Oh? Didn't you want to stay and investigate Mr. Pu's affairs?" Tang Jingxiao wondered.

Tang Wuyi frowned. It was here a few days ago, at the gate of Dongdu Pavilion, that he bid farewell to Mr. Pu.Now that he was saying goodbye to Tang Jingxiao, he felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason. He didn't want to bear this kind of life and death, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother, wait for me, I'll go with you." Tang Wuyi said firmly, looking at Tang Jingxiao, burning like a flame.After finishing speaking, he turned around and went into Dongdu Pavilion to grab a few pieces of luggage.

Wen Tao saw everything that happened outside the door just now, so Tang Wuyi had just returned to the pavilion and Wen Tao was already standing in front of him and said: "Tang Yue, I will go too."

"You?" Tang Wuyi froze for a moment.He seemed to have a premonition that going to the capital this time would not be smooth sailing, so when he saw Tang Jingxiao get off his horse, he decided to go with him.But he didn't want Wen Tao to take risks lightly, the capital was full of nobles and the water was too deep, so he didn't even have any confidence in being able to protect the people around him.

"Tang Yue, the secret that Mr. Pu knows should be in the capital." Wen Tao said calmly.

Yes, of course in Kyoto.Mr. Pu used to be so close to the imperial power. During those two years as the prince and tutor, he had too many opportunities to encounter secret things that he could not get rid of in his life.Therefore, even if Mr. Pu committed suicide, he would not want Tang Wuyi to be involved, but how could Tang Wuyi let his mentor die for nothing?

Seeing that Tang Wuyi was still hesitating, Wen Tao said: "Let's go, everything is packed, there are enough horses in Dongdu Pavilion, we have two horses for each of us, and we can reach the capital tomorrow."

When Tang Jingxiao saw Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao coming out together, he was still surprised and said, "Master Wen is going too?"

"He is from my Dongdu Pavilion, so go as my follower." Tang Wuyi said.

The three of them stopped talking, each led two horses, and galloped away.

In the afternoon of the second day, the three of them arrived in Kyoto.They still entered through Chunming Gate and turned directly to Yongxing Square next to the imperial city, where the General's Mansion bestowed by the Holy God was located.This is not the first time Tang Wuyi has come to the General's Mansion, but every time he comes, he still has an indescribable awkwardness.Probably this beautifully decorated mansion with high walls and blue tiles is always separated from him by one floor. In his heart, the home that belongs to him, his elder brother, and his adoptive father will always be the Tiance Mansion at the foot of Beiman Mountain that has been razed to the ground.

Probably the general had already received the letter from the general's mansion, and when they arrived, the side door was already wide open, and a young woman in a beautiful dress was looking inside. Seeing Tang Jingxiao's arrival, she hurried out to greet Tang Jingxiao, and said happily, "The general is finally back!" Tang Jingxiao was followed by Tang Wuyi and a young man, who lowered his head a little shyly, and ordered the servant to help Tang Jingxiao off the horse, then raised his head and said generously to Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao, "Pavilion Master Tang is here too, this one yes?"

Tang Wuyi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law can just call me Wuyi, this is the entourage I brought out from Dongdu Pavilion." The young woman in beautiful dress has an extraordinary demeanor and a handsome appearance, she doesn't really believe that this is a entourage.Although she was in a deep boudoir, she also heard the rumors that the two sages of the Dongdu Pavilion were outstanding in solving the case. She wondered if this was the Immortal Ziwei who had a good relationship with Tang Wuyi. She heard that this Immortal was born in Kunlun, and she was really out of character. The children are very different.

Wen Tao also saw the ceremony, and he saw that the woman was in her early twenties, with slender eyebrows and long eyes, although she was not very beautiful, she was very dignified. She was wearing a red-coloured open-necked blouse, a fairy skirt in the same color, and a luxurious red-gold color. The collar was dragged to the ground.Wen Tao heard that the current empress is from the Liu family of Hedong, which is a famous family with a century of history.Since this woman is a sister of the Queen's family, it is expected that she is also from the Liu family, and she is welcoming them into the door right now.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Liu ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked Tang Jingxiao, "Why did it take so long to go to Dongdu this time?"

Tang Jingxiao pondered and said, "Mr. Pu has passed away and was delayed for a few days."

Mrs. Liu has never met Mr. Pu, but she has also heard about his talent and name, and knows that he has a deep relationship with the Tang family. Hearing this, she said sadly: "It's a pity." Everyone was silent for a while, Liu said : "The Holy Majesty's Dragon Boat Festival will start at noon tomorrow. You must be tired after traveling all day. I have prepared bath water. You should take a good rest. Tomorrow will be a big event. The general's clothes and accessories are ready. I didn't expect Wuyi to come here this time, if there is something missing, just tell me, this place is the same as home."

Tang Jingxiao said gently, "You have a heart."
