Datang traitor

"Don't be too happy, or you won't be crying by then." Qin Yuan asked while watching Princess Anping's expression.

"Then we'll just wait and see." Princess Anping said.

"It seems that you are very confident." Qin Yuan speculated, "Could it be that your plan can also affect Dali Temple?"

Princess Anping snorted and cast a disdainful glance at Qin Yuan.

"Your son was arrested just like you, don't you feel bad?" Qin Yuan asked.

"What son? I never had a son. That wicked mother died a long time ago, and it's not me at all." Princess Anping raised her face in dissatisfaction, and said with disgust, "You think I'm so rare to stay in this body? Old and ugly, not as beautiful as me!"

Ma Shi's appearance is considered good-looking among his peers, with an upper-middle posture, and the charm is still there.However, Princess Anping had high eyesight, so she didn't take a fancy to her own body at all.

Lu Qiaoer hid in the room and heard these words, and rushed out angrily, "Brother Qin really didn't lie to me, you are indeed not my aunt."

Seeing Lu Qiaoer coming, Princess Anping glared at her bitterly: "I have taken good care of you these past few months, but unexpectedly I raised a white-eyed wolf. I treated you well, yet you actually drugged me behind my back."

"I didn't believe it at first. Brother Qin told me that I don't have to believe it. He just wants to prove that my aunt is indeed innocent. If she is innocent, he promises not to hurt half a hair of my aunt. I firmly believe that I need to prove my aunt's innocence, so I followed Brother Qin's words." , I drugged you. But it turns out that I was wrong!" Lu Qiaoer's nose felt sour as she spoke, and she shed tears of grievance.

"Not only a white-eyed wolf, but also a rascal. If you don't believe in your aunt, you'll prefer the men outside!" Princess Anping scolded.

Lu Qiaoer was so angry that she wanted to beat up Princess Anping, but was stopped by Qin Yuan.

"The princess is the one who is really unreasonable. She made mistakes first. It is really wise for you to make the right choice. She is the fool who doesn't even understand reason. Why should you argue with a fool? Use it." While persuading Lu Qiaoer, Qin Yuan scolded Princess Anping by the way.

Princess Anping glared at Qin Yuan angrily.

"Now that you know my true face, I pity your cousin's life, then hurry up and take your stupid cousin back to your hometown. This Chang'an city is not suitable for a country girl like you to survive. Get out now, maybe you still have your life." You can live, otherwise you can only be buried with the dog emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his incompetent ministers." Princess Anping scolded Lu Qiaoer fiercely, telling her that she was angry at seeing such a cheap look.

"You—" Lu Qiaoer grew up and had never heard so many harsh words. She blushed and tried to refute it, but in the end, Qin Yuan persuaded her to quit on the grounds of handling the case.

"You go first, but whether your cousin Sui Shengyuan is innocent or not still needs to be investigated." Qin Yuan persuaded Lu Qiaoer.

Princess Anping laughed when she heard the words, and sighed that Qin was far less decisive than the rumors said.

"How can someone as smart as me bring something as stupid as Sui Shengyuan to do things? If it wasn't for that idiot throwing an ax at your house door indiscriminately, I wouldn't be exposed! Besides, you can't ask everything you ask. Apologize, you can ask her to interrogate that idiot!"

"But, if it wasn't for Sui Shengyuan, I might have doubted you a few days later." Qin Yuan agreed.

"How many days later?" Princess Anping frowned, "You still doubt me?"

"As soon as the Taoist case happened, it involved Jing'an Temple in Shangzhou. If I remember correctly, you took Lu Qiaoer to the Taoist temple in Shangzhou this spring." Qin Yuan replied, "I asked Lu Qiaoer at that time, There are so many Taoist temples in Chang'an City, why don't you choose the Taoist temple in Shangzhou? She said that because there are acquaintances of yours in the Taoist temple in Shangzhou."

Princess Anping was stunned.

Lu Qiaoer was about to go out, but when she heard the conversation between the two, she suddenly understood and was very angry.

"No wonder you took me to the Jing'an Temple in Shangzhou when I said I wanted to become a monk. You have long been in collusion with the Taoist priest of Jing'an Temple, and deliberately asked the Taoist to tell me that I am not qualified and let me go back to Chang'an! Why did you do this? ? Because I know Brother Qin, you want to use me?"

Princess Anping sneered, and said to Lu Qiaoer: "It seems that you haven't followed me in vain these days, you finally have some brains."

Lu Qiaoer was even more angry, and wanted to charge up again, but was finally persuaded by Wen Yanbo to leave the court.

Qin Yuan looked at Princess Anping again with probing eyes.

Princess Anping was very uncomfortable being looked at by Qin Yuan like this. She frowned displeased, and asked Qin Yuan pretending to be teasing: "I heard that many young beauties are pursuing Qin Siqing, and Qin Siqing doesn't like it. Do you prefer to like a half-aged lady like me? If it is a man with Qin Siqing's appearance, I don't dislike it. I used to raise two good-looking girls in the princess mansion. They have very sweet mouths and can coax people to find them. It’s a pity that I have no ambition, so I can only play for fun, and I can’t compare to someone as smart as Qin Siqing.”

"But he's sweet too." Changsun Wuji couldn't help interjecting.What he originally wanted to express was that Qin Yuan was also unambitious.But I didn't expect Princess Anping to be more satisfied with Qin Yuan after hearing the words.

"You can take care of all three. It's hard to believe that there were so many young women who liked Qin Shaoqing before." Princess Anping pretended to be very interested, and looked at Qin Yuan lewdly, like a female hooligan.

Qin Yuan was not moved by Princess Anping's 'molestation' at all, because he knew that Princess Anping was deliberately diverting his attention.

"After all, people's hearts are made of flesh. After living under the same roof with Sui Shengyuan and Lu Qiaoer for so long, how could it be possible that they have no feelings at all? Although the words are thorny, I can still hear them. Lu Qiaoer actually wants her to leave Chang'an City with Sui Shengyuan as soon as possible. It seems that what you are about to plan will affect the entire Chang'an City." Qin Yuan speculated.

Princess Anping tricked her head away from looking at Qin Yuan, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about."

"Didn't you keep sneering and provoking just now, and even wanted to tease me, but now I'm talking about the central matter, so you turned your head and avoided it on purpose?" Qin Yuan asked.

Princess Anping turned her head around again, glaring at Qin Yuan angrily.

Qin Yuan laughed, "Look, I was being talked about again, and I was flustered, so I quickly changed it back."

Princess Anping was so angry that she really didn't know what to say, this Qin Yuan had the ability to piss people off.

Qin Yuan could see that she really wanted to refute, her eyes were full of words, but she gritted her teeth fiercely and refused to speak.It was probably because she was afraid that she would open up more openings, and be spied on by him.

After that, Qin Yuan asked Princess Anping again, but Princess Anping didn't say a word.

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing.

"Princess Anping is nothing more than that." Qin Yuan exclaimed mockingly.

Both Changsun Wuji and Wen Yanbo laughed, and their smiles were naturally full of sarcasm.

What kind of person is Princess Anping, she has a strong temper and must be decent.How could the three of them endure such ridicule in front of their own face, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threatened them viciously: "You have the chance now, you have to laugh to your heart's content, sooner or later you will cry!"

It is no longer possible to pry any useful information from Princess Anping's mouth. Princess Anping is now extremely defensive.

After Qin Yuan ordered someone to carefully guard Princess Anping, he said to Changsun Wuji and Wen Yanbo: "Looking at her performance just now, we know that what she planned should destroy the entire Chang'an city, otherwise she wouldn't threaten Lu Qiaoer and Sui Shengyuan hurriedly left Chang'an City. It seems that if Princess Anping's plan succeeds, you, me, and everyone here may be in danger for their lives."

"Destroy the whole of Chang'an? How is this possible! Unless she has thousands of troops, and we have no power to restrain chickens, things can be done. Now even if she has thousands of troops, her troops may not be able to match her." The sage has already dispatched more troops and horses to guard the periphery of Chang'an City after winning over the imperial court's troops. From top to bottom, the military and horse guards are under strict investigation, and there is no possibility of any problems. Not to mention that there are no abnormal military horse activities outside Chang'an City. , even if there is, with the current strength of Chang'an City, she can't even try to break in." Changsun Wuji said dissatisfied.

"A mere princess of a subjugated country has already lost her power, not to mention she has become an ordinary widow now, how can there be any military horse working for her. I reckon this thing is evil. For example, corpse poison? Surge? Right? , Check the water source! The Taiji Palace, the Imperial City and the Imperial Army, the water and food for these people—" Wen Yanbo said suddenly.

"These two things have already been checked, and they have been strictly controlled, so there will be no problems." Qin Yuan explained.

"As long as the army and horses are fine, the entire city of Chang'an won't be overthrown." Wen Yanbo wondered if there was any other way to instantly overthrow the heavily guarded city of Chang'an. "Could it be that she deliberately exaggerated to scare us?" ?”

"If she just wanted to scare us, she wouldn't be patient and unwilling to say more. She should try her best to scare us." Qin Yuan invited someone to ask if there was any news from Shangzhou.

"Not yet, but it should be soon, there should be news today." The little official replied.

"Report as soon as you have any news." If the Jing'an Temple in Shangzhou can get key witnesses and Ling Xie asks the news, then the situation in Chang'an City should be resolved.

But Qin Yuan didn't feel very good, and was faintly worried that there might be some accidents in Shangzhou.While waiting for the news, Qin Yuan still sent people to investigate various places in Chang'an City, and asked Changsun Wuji to use officials from the Ministry of Officials to screen all the officials with important real power in the imperial court to see who had any abnormal conditions recently. .Whenever any clues are found, they must be reported here, and Qin Yuan, Changsun Wuji, and Wen Yanbo will jointly examine them.

Qin Yuan suddenly thought of Zhang Yusu, she has the ability to perceive the joys and sorrows of all things.So he sent someone to send a message, asking her if she had noticed anything unusual in Chang'an City recently.

Zhang Yusu immediately replied with a note: "I went to play near Qujiang Pond the day before yesterday, and found that the crickets and mice there were not very happy."

After Qin Yuan read the note, he stuffed it into his sleeve.

Before sunset,

The yamen servant who was going to Shangzhou to do business hurried back to Chang'an city, and when he arrived at Dali Temple, he fell to the ground panting and knelt down to answer Qin Yuan, Changsun Wuji and others.

"There is indeed a problem with the Jing'an Temple in Shangzhou. The subordinates secretly investigated and learned that the Taoist priest of Jing'an Temple came from Chang'an and used to be a member of the Princess Mansion, so they planned to arrest the Taoist priest of Jing'an Temple. Who knew that when they broke into the house, they found that the Taoist priest Together with the other four Taoist nuns in the Taoist temple, they committed suicide by taking poison. When the subordinates went, the body was already cold, and it had been dead for about three hours."

Ya Chai then told Qin Yuan that the death of these Taoist nuns after taking the poison was very similar to Taoist Pingyan and Pingyun, and they should all have taken the same poison.

"The subordinates are not doing their job well, please punish the minister!" Yacha bowed his hands and apologized.

Qin Yuan then asked how these Taoist nuns looked like.

"The five of them are all in their early thirties, but they look younger, with beautiful appearance and good figure." Ya Cha replied truthfully.

"Can any useful clues be found at the scene?" Qin Yuan asked again.

Ya Cha: "There is nothing special about it. The Taoist priest of Jing'an Temple must have burned all the relevant evidence before committing suicide. The subordinates found a copper basin with burnt paper under the bed in the Taoist priest's room. Ashes are left. But according to the description of other nuns in the Taoist temple, the Taoist priest had close contacts with middle-aged men at the end of last year. Listening to their descriptions, the subordinates felt very much like Zhou, the leader of the alien alliance. Yun."

"That is to say, Zhou Yun's disappearance is actually related to the Taoist priest of Jing'an Temple."

Zhou Yun is the leader of the Alien Alliance, logically speaking, it is definitely more convenient to use him directly than Sui Fengyun.Qin Yuan guessed that it must be the Taoist Master Jing'an who failed to rebel against Zhou Yun in the end, and Princess Anping ordered Sui Fengyun to kill Zhou Yun, in order to get rid of the entire relationship by instigating the relationship between the imperial court and the Alien League. The purpose of Chang'an City.As a result, this plan was later destroyed by him.

Now that I think about it, Princess Anping is not easy. After planning for so long, he messed it up all at once. Naturally, she hates her so much, and it is reasonable to want to kill him.

"Now that the case has gone through, it's clear, but Princess Anping planned something insane in the end, and we have no clue at all. It's impossible to guess, and I can't ask. What to do, just sit and wait for things to happen. ?" Changsun Wuji was a little anxious.

In the situation of 'our side is in the clear and the enemy is in the dark', the most fearful thing is to be caught off guard by the enemy.Especially Princess Anping was so confident just now, she seemed to be looking forward to the smooth happening of what she planned.

"This kind of thing can't be rushed, come, eat a radish to calm your shock." Qin Yuan took out a white radish from his sleeve and handed it to the angry eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji glanced at the smooth and white radish, and stared back at Qin Yuan even more angrily.

"What time is it, are you still in the mood to joke?"

"Forget it if you don't want it, please don't frame people, how can something as serious as eating carrots be a joke." Qin Yuan turned his head and asked Wen Yanbo if he wanted it, but Wen Yanbo politely declined.

Qin Yuan unceremoniously gnawed on the radish by himself, flipped through the map sent by the officials, and circled several important gates and main streets of Chang'an City with a cinnabar pen, and then the Imperial City and Taiji Palace.If Princess Anping really wants to take down Chang'an City, she needs to break through these barriers.But this first city gate is difficult to enter, and the imperial city is even more difficult.It is almost impossible to go through the imperial city to Tai Chi Palace.

How can we achieve 'relying on limited manpower to subvert the entire city of Chang'an'?

This is definitely not something that can be done in a day, it is probably the result of Princess Anping's preparation for many years.

Considering that there have been no particularly eye-catching events in Chang'an City recently, Qin Yuan decided to extend the time to last year, or even a few years ago.Qin Yuan ordered his subordinates to re-investigate this period of time.

"The longer the time, the harder it is to check. The most important thing is to know what to check!" Changsun Wuji complained that Qin Yuan's investigation was too blind, and it was a waste of manpower and material resources.

"Okay, since you don't agree with my idea, then tell me, what should I investigate?" Qin Yuan asked Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji glared at Qin Yuan angrily, "You are in charge of this case, if I know, do you still need to be in charge here?"

"Maybe it's really necessary. I need me to do nothing here. I can't think of a good way, but I still have to say a few sarcastic remarks to make trouble. I guess the eldest grandson must like such people, right?" Qin Yuan deliberately ironic Grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji got up angrily, pointed at Qin Yuan's nose, and was immediately stopped by Wen Yanbo.

"This case is difficult to think about. If we quarrel among ourselves, no one will care about it. This will really make Princess Anping's wish come true!" It's time to quarrel.

Changsun Wuji gave Qin Yuan a blank look, turned his head away, and snorted coldly.

Qin Yuan took a hard bite of the white radish, and by the way cast a blank glance at Changsun Wuji, and kept muttering: "What kind of assistance, it's clear that someone is holding you back."

"Who are you talking about?" Changsun Wuji heard the words, turned his head back, glared at Qin Yuan viciously, scolded Qin Yuan for being incompetent, and he must be a good student to teach him a lesson today.

"I didn't mention my name or surname. How did you know I was talking about you? It seems that you also felt that you were useless, so you took the initiative to admit it. Otherwise, there are two people who assisted me. What about Wen Changshi? Didn't you jump out and admit it like Changsun Gong did?" Qin Yuan refuted Changsun Wuji sharply, and successfully pushed Changsun Wuji's anger to another peak.

Changsun Wuji was so angry that he grabbed the saber at his waist and wanted to chop Qin Yuan.

Seeing this, Wen Yanbo yelled angrily: "Stop making trouble, what time is it, it's still so loud. You won't listen to it even after you've been persuaded, it's like two big kids, it's out of place!"

Wen Yanbo, who was always easy-going, suddenly showed his power, which naturally made people feel scared, and everyone remained silent for a while.

Changsun Wuji put down the knife in his hand, which he intended to scare the other party, and complained to Wen Yanbo: "You heard and saw everything just now, it was him, Qin Yuan, who spoke rudely first."

"You heard and saw everything just now, it was the eldest grandson who made trouble first!" Qin Yuan followed the elder grandson Wuji's sentence pattern, and complained to Wen Yanbo.

Changsun Wuji became even more angry when he heard this, "Qin Yuan, you insist on annoying me today, don't you? I will fulfill your wish today!"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he took off the saber from his waist and threw it heavily on the ground.Then he rolled up his sleeves and motioned for Qin Yuan to come.Today they will fight and the winner will be decided.Whoever loses will be subdued.

"If you don't fight, this is something you are good at. Naturally, you can only win." Qin Yuan told Changsun Wuji that he is not stupid.

"Okay, then tell me, what is the competition?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Wen Yanbo watched anxiously, checked his mouth in a low voice, and asked if they were still investigating the case.

Qin Yuan raised his hand to signal Wen Yanbo not to say more, then raised the big radish in his hand, and said to Changsun Wuji: "If you want me to tell you, it's the easiest way to eat the radish, and who can finish eating the root the fastest .”

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he took out a carrot from the other sleeve, which was about the same size as the one he had before.

Changsun Wuji thought he had a bigger appetite than Qin Yuan, so he naturally ate faster than Qin Yuan.

"Okay, I'll follow your suggestion." Changsun Wuji said, "If I beat you, you will kowtow three times to make amends! I will do the same."

"I don't embarrass grandson grandson. I don't need to kowtow here, just bow respectfully and apologize three times." Qin Yuan smiled, and then asked grandson Wuji to choose a carrot.

Changsun Wuji compared it, and the radish he picked up later was a little smaller than the one Qin Yuan took out at first, and the previous one had already been bitten by Qin Yuan.Changsun Wuji picked up the later radishes.

"This one is smaller, and yours has already taken a bite, so the two sides are equal, let's compete."

"Okay!" Qin Yuan asked Wen Yanbo to make a judgment, and shouted to start.

Wen Yanbo was also led astray at the moment, and he was inexplicably excited, wanting to see how interesting it would be for these two important ministers to gnaw carrots.

"Okay, here I come! Are you ready? Let's go!"

Qin Yuan immediately picked up his radish and began to eat slowly.

Changsun Wuji took a big bite when he came up, and after feeling the choking spicy taste from the tip of his tongue, he couldn't help coughing, and spit out the big radish he was about to drop on the ground.

While gnawing on the carrot, Qin Yuan glared and gave a 'hmm', signaling to Changsun Wuji not to cheat and take a bite. He had to eat the one that fell on the table just now.

After Changsun Wuji took a sip of water, he put down the water glass heavily, looking at the dirty radish that fell on the ground, it was impossible for him to pick it up and eat it no matter what.This is not the point, the point is why this radish is so spicy, every time he sees Qin Yuan gnawing on the radish, he feels very relaxed, and thinks this radish is delicious, but he really didn’t expect it to be this kind of spicy that irritates the nose, so he just took a bite , Excited him to cough and not speak, tears were about to come down.He really wondered if what he ate was turnips.

Looking at Qin Yuan again, he was still eating carrots so easily.

Changsun Wuji had an idea and asked to take a bite of Qin Yuan's radish.He suspected that Qin Yuan deliberately gave him unpalatable radishes.If Qin Yuan refuses his inspection right now, it must be Qin Yuan's fault, and he must tear Qin Yuan apart today.

"Here, just bite the part I haven't eaten before." Qin Yuan generously handed the radish in his hand to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji took a bite of the tail of the radish, then spit it out.

The taste is exactly the same, but he can chew it down.

"Forget it, you win!" Changsun Wuji gave Qin Yuan a blank look, and asked him where he found such a spicy radish.

"It's just suitable for refreshing when investigating the case." Qin Yuan made a high-sounding excuse.

Changsun Wuji was speechless, it was strange to admire him.

"Since you lost, then quickly bow and apologize." Qin Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Changsun Wuji to hurry up.

Changsun Wuji squinted at Qin Yuan for a moment, but he was unambiguous. After three quick bows, he bowed to Qin Yuan and apologized for his previous nonsense.

Qin Yuan laughed with satisfaction, then looked at the map on the table, and patted the table, "Just now we were arguing, and by the way, relax your head, and change your mind, it really helps to think, it reminds me of the robbery of grain in Longzhou some time ago case."
