The list of cheating candidates is even more difficult to distinguish between true and false. "Qi Dai said, "Based on my understanding of Wen Tao, I don't think Wen Tao would bother to do such things. Then his name appeared on the list to disturb our investigation. It is inconvenient for His Majesty to check openly and honestly those who have Da Sima on the list, so that they have a lot more room to operate. "

"Hmph, it's all on my head!" Zhou Yu said angrily, "Don't interfere with this matter. You imprison all 25 people on Zheng Yong's list except Wen Tao and interrogate them in Sijian Pavilion!"

"Wen Tao... just leave it alone?" Qi Dai raised his eyes.

"What do you mean? You just said that he doesn't care about it based on what you know about him, and he doesn't care about it based on what I know about Da Sima." Zhou Yu shot his gaze over, and Qi Dai looked at each other. There was a sudden silence, and for a while, various thoughts unfolded in the minds of the two, and Zhou Yu's originally determined expression loosened a bit.

Finally, Qi Dai was silent for a moment, and said: "The investigation still needs to be investigated. Since Wen Tao is involved, I can justly imprison him in Sijian Pavilion for interrogation."

Qi Dai stared at Zhou Yu, and lightly mouthed the words "Wuchang Army".It is a heaven-sent opportunity for Wen Tao to be imprisoned in the Sijian Pavilion with integrity.The matter of dismantling the Wuchang Army is on the way. This is a move that hurts the Wuchang Army, and even Zhou Yu is not [-]% sure in his heart.However, if Wen Tao can be taken as a hostage, it can be used as a pawn to hold Pu Chen hostage.Of course, this matter must never be revealed, only God knows.At that time, if the Wuchang Army splits up smoothly, Wen Tao will be released in a calm manner. If there is any possible danger, holding Wen Tao in his hand is equivalent to holding Pu Chen's life.

Zhou Yu understood Qi Dai's meaning, but he looked away as if avoiding it.In all fairness, he was unwilling to treat Pu Chen like this.

Qi Dai seemed to see his thoughts clearly, and said quietly: "Could it be that your majesty has forgotten how Renzi's traitor appointed hundreds of officials?"

Zhou Yu's heart trembled, if Qi Dai hadn't detained the family members of hundreds of officials at that time, the situation would not have been clear.But even so, Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "After all, the relationship between Da Sima and Zhen is different."

Qi Dai chuckled: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Wen Tao's name is indeed on Zheng Yong's list, and he should be assigned for the investigation. Moreover, since it is an investigation, and it is an imperial examination fraud involving so many people, it will take more time to investigate. He is responsible for this case. After all, Wen Tao's innocence is only our guess, and the case can only be settled after investigation. Even if the chief minister asks, the minister can handle it here."

Zhou Yu sighed: "Others are fine, but torture must not be used. You know, Da Sima and Wen Tao..." Zhou Yu did not continue.

Qi Dai smiled and said, "Naturally."

96, 96.

Pu Chen has been in a bad mood for the past few days, shutting himself in his study all day thinking about how to arrange the frontier army.Wen Tao was also worried. There were fires and ministers hanging themselves one after another in the Ministry of Officials. Wen Ju's follow-up arrangements were delayed. Si Jian Ge had already detained many people, and people were panicked for a while.

On this day, Pu Chen woke up early, looking out the window, it seemed to be mid-spring and early summer, he remembered that he had promised to bring Wen Tao to Luoyang in spring, but now that he didn't go for spring, this year's spring was in vain.He simply put all his worries behind him, and rode away with Wen Tao as soon as the Luoyang city gate opened.Wen Tao immediately identified the direction and said, "Are we going to Shaoshi Mountain?"

Pu Chen bent the corner of his mouth, let out a soft "um" deep in his throat, and raised his whip to spur the Wuqing Liema fast.Wen Tao chuckled secretly. A few months ago, he flipped through the travel notes of celebrities and casually said, "I heard that the scenery of Shaoshi Mountain is good, and the Shaolin ancient temple is also worth seeing." Pu Chen actually remembered it.He remembered that they were in Puchen's study in Wuchang at that time. Puchen was making Jiangbei frontier defense deployment, and he was leaning on the desk beside him, stroking the civet cat and flipping through a travel book at random. They didn't say a few words all night. The words, including when Wen Tao casually said this sentence, he was not sure if Pu Chen heard it, seemed like countless ordinary nights they spent together, ordinary but irreplaceable.

At the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, they tied their horses to the foot of the mountain and meandered up the mountain road.It was nearly June at this time, the forest was verdant, covering the ancient temple hidden in the mountains, and there were occasional cicadas singing, which seemed to be the prelude to summer.It was only half an hour after they went up the mountain, when the sky suddenly became cloudy and it began to rain.At first it was just a light rain, which fell on the towering tall trees without causing any serious problems, but the rain gradually became heavier and wet the skirts of the two of them.Wen Tao complained: "I just said it's better to bring an umbrella."

Pu Chen was wrong, if he was himself, marching and fighting in the rain would be commonplace, so why would he bring an umbrella?But after all, Wen Tao has old injuries on his body, and he can't bear the cold. Seeing that the rain is getting heavier, Pu Chen makes a decisive decision: "Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain."

The two quickened their pace, found an empty temple halfway up the mountain and hid in it.Mount Shaoshi is a sacred place of Buddhism. Apart from the ancient Shaolin Temple, there are many temples, some of which still have incense sticks and some of which are gradually neglected.This temple was built in a remote place, and when the door was opened, there was no one there, but it was considered clean, and there were some incense ashes on the table.

They looked at each other, Pu Chen said: "Let's rest here first, take off the wet clothes to dry." After saying that, Pu Chen naturally took off Wen Tao's coat.

Wen Tao dodged for a moment and hesitated: "This is a Buddhist temple..."

"Oh?" Pu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Do you still respect gods and Buddhas?" Pu Chen grew up in the military camp and did not believe in prophecy or gods and Buddhas. He raised his head and glanced at the Buddha statues in the temple, and saw that they were not the usual Guanyin or Tathagata, but His whole body was red, with four hands and three eyes, and an angry look on his face, showing doubts.

Wen Tao said: "This is the mother of the Ming Buddha, with a red body and an angry face, intended to intimidate all living beings. This bodhisattva has the intention of intimidating, so it would be too disrespectful for us to change clothes here."

It was rare for Pu Chen to see Wen Tao like this, so he said, "Listen to you, let's go to the back."

The two came to the back of the Buddhist hall, and just took off their coats and middle clothes when they heard a voice talking.The two of them were only wearing obscene clothes at the moment, and their clothes were completely disheveled. Hearing the voice of the voice getting closer, Pu Chen made a decisive decision, pulled Wen Tao and jumped with lightness, and hid on the beam of the Buddhist hall.

"Why are you hiding?" Wen Tao said softly.

Pu Chen glanced at Wen Tao and said, "How do we meet people like this?" While speaking, he pulled up Wen Tao's obscene clothes, trying to cover the welt marks on his neck.

Wen Tao grabbed his wrist and said helplessly, "But our clothes are all underneath..."

"Oh, it's broken..." Pu Chen was annoyed.The clothes of the two of them are in a mess at the moment behind the Buddhist hall.If you don't hide, you can take shelter from the rain openly.At this moment, the two are hiding on the beam, as if they have done something wrong.

"Then I'll go down..." Before Pu Chen could utter the word "take", two monks had already entered the Buddhist hall, Wen Tao quickly grabbed Pu Chen, and the two continued to cat on the beam.

"It's raining heavily. I was fine this morning, but when I went down the mountain, the rain was pouring, and my clothes were all wet, ouch." A monk said.

"Fortunately, there is Zuoming Buddha's Mother Temple here, and the younger brother and the others often come to clean it, so it will not be dilapidated." Another older monk said.Judging from their tone, it seems that they are monks from Shaolin Temple, and they will take care of all the temples on Shaoshi Mountain, big and small.

"Hey, brother, someone has been here before!" The first monk just took off his rain hat, and suddenly said, "Look at these footprints."

The monk called "Senior Brother" took a look and said, "It's good, probably a passing guest came to take shelter from the rain."

"It makes sense. I'll go to the back to see if anyone is still there."

The two people who hid on the beam regretted it very much at this moment. If they were standing below normally and had no problem at all, why did they hide on the beam in obscene clothes?They were soaked in the rain just now, and they are still wet at the moment, the beam is narrow and covered with dust, Pu Chen knew that Wen Tao likes to be clean, so he leaned against the beam and hugged Wen Tao in his arms, the two of them were inevitably hot , but could not move.

"Brother, there are wet clothes here, probably left by people who came to shelter from the rain." The monk said.

The mature and prudent monk rushed over after hearing the words, looked at it for a while and asked in doubt: "Forget about the outer clothes, why are the middle clothes left here?"

"Ah? So these two people are wearing obscene clothes at the moment? This... this is indecent! Could it be that they are promiscuous men and women somewhere, here, here... prostitution in the daytime!" The younger man The monk looked like a chatterbox, trying to brainstorm.

"These clothes are men's style." The elder brother said.

"Two men? Wouldn't that be more contrary to human relations and shameless?"

At the moment, Wen Tao and Pu Chen, who are wearing obscene clothes, are surprisingly consistent in their hearts, please say a few words less...

"Ah... Amitabha, sin, sin." The older monk sighed.

"In broad daylight, the heavens and the earth are bright and clear. Could it be that someone is doing something in the Buddhist temple? I want to see who is so bold and disrespectful of the gods and Buddhas!" The monk was furious, and searched the small temple carefully. Trying to find out these two people who disrespect gods and Buddha and prostitute themselves day by day.

Wen Tao and Pu Chen, who were hiding on the beams, dared not show their spirits. If they were discovered, it would be hard to tell. If there were no ghosts, why would they hide on the beams?Isn't it just the words of disrespecting gods and Buddhas and prostitution in the daytime?

Wen Tao wanted to look up to the sky and sigh at this moment, why didn't he think about the cause and the cause when Pu Chen was short-hearted and took him to the beam of the house?
