The Golden Hairpin

She didn't expect this person to be able to treasure all the information of a little guard. She was stunned for a while, and then she could only say: "Actually...I and Zhang Xingying are married brothers and sisters, we..." She looked like she couldn't tell, but he pretended I don't know, so I waited all the time for her to continue compiling the following words.

She knew that this person had insight into everything, but now she had to send an arrow on the string, and she could only immediately replace the central idea of ​​her lie, and quickly replaced the cousin relationship with an ambiguous relationship, with a hesitant look on her face, saying: "I have a very good relationship with Zhang Xingying. Since I was young, I like to play polo and dress up as a man, so I am worried that he will be punished by military law, so I must come over for him. He feels uncomfortable and I grabbed the horse and he couldn't catch up. …That's it."

"So, when you set off for the palace, why didn't you choose to express these words to the leader, and choose a choice that would put yourself and Zhang Xingying in a more serious situation-hiding in my carriage?" He lightly used his slender fingers. Knocking on Xiaoji, the slow rise and fall of the fingertips seemed to hit her heart, giving her an ominous premonition again.

Sure enough, he sneered and pierced her relentlessly: "Therefore, you must cover one thing, which is more serious than you pretending to be my guard, and even more serious than being executed on the spot as an assassin. ."

She was silent, the time was better than people. She was taking risks, but now she was caught by others, but she was helpless, and could only wait for his judgment.

"A woman, in the suburbs early in the morning, dressed in men's clothing, there are still traces of you driving in the rain. If you and Zhang Xingying didn't negotiate and exchange in advance, I don't think no one would believe it."

Seeing her lowered her head and speechless, only her thick black eyelashes were trembling slightly, resisting her stubborn appearance, he couldn't help but sneered, and said, "Put out your left hand."

She bit her lower lip, put her left hand palm up, and slowly stretched it out.

"Everyone's hands record everything he has done in his life so far. Other things can be hidden, but your hands can never be hidden." He lowered his eyes and looked at her palm, and the corners of his lips finally appeared faint. Smile, "Your hand tells me that you have a good background and have been smart since childhood. There was a change in your life at the age of thirteen. You left Chang'an and went to Shudi. Am I right?"

She looked up at him, trying to calm her voice: "Yes."

"There you met the person you like. As you can see from your palm prints, you are cold-hearted and determined to act. Therefore, you can completely slaughter the family members for love. As for the technique..."

He curled his lips at her coldly: "Poison kill."

As if a needle pierced her eyelid, her eyelashes jumped suddenly, and her hidden identity was suddenly revealed. She subconsciously gathered her fingers, as if to hide a nightmare, she pressed her hand on her chest, widening. Look at the person in front of you.

The people in front of her stared at her with a happy expression of seeing the prey thrown into the net: "So your name is Huang Zixia."

She looked down at her palm prints. The shock at the beginning gradually calmed down. She put down her palms, retracted her sleeves, and whispered, "No."

"Which sentence is wrong?" He asked indifferently, "his background, murder, or who you are?"

"I'm Huang Zixia, but I didn't kill anyone." She took a deep breath and whispered, "It's even more impossible... to kill my relatives!"

He leaned on the brocade cushion behind him, and even a cold smile floated at the corner of his mouth: "You mean, you were wronged?"

She knelt in the car and looked up at him. The peony flower woven on the soft blanket was bright in color. She was a tiny bug on the peony petal, tiny and thin. The person on the other side could crush her with a finger at any time. broken.

But she didn't care about this situation of being condescending and being overlooked. Even if she was kneeling there, she still had her back straight. When she looked up at him, her expression was calm but even more stubborn: "Prince Kui, whoever has no parents, I am a child. How could that kind of thing be done? I traveled all the way to the capital just for this unjust case. I was wronged and fell second, but my parents and relatives had to report their grudges, so I fled to Chang'an with great pains, looking for opportunities. Redress for my parents and relatives. And Zhang Xingying pityed me, so he didn't hesitate to be punished to help me, and I ask the prince to forgive him with kindness and don't involve him."

"A piece of kindness? Who knows that his piece of kindness helps the wicked?"

"If I were a murderer, I could naturally find a place to hide my name, but I can't just hide for a lifetime, otherwise...my parents and relatives will die!"

"You don't need to explain to me, you can talk to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice." He cast his eyes on the pattern of the brocade curtain next to him indifferently, and said, "You can go now. I hate staying with people who are disheveled. , Especially in such a small place."

In such a situation, ignoring her is already a distraction to her.

Huang Zixian pursed her lower lip slightly and saluted him. When she looked up, her gaze fell on the glass bottle. The little red fish in the bottle was still swaying in the water, with a long tail like a tulle.

She lowered her voice and said softly: "The name of this fish is Agashne, from the Kingdom of Tianzhu. Legend has it that it was transformed by the erratic thought of the dragon girl in front of the Buddha seat, and it often appears next to people who have died."

King Kui's gaze flicked over the glass bottle, and his voice was calm: "Really?"

"Yes, I have heard people say this before. But in my opinion, this may be a hypothetical statement made by people with ulterior motives. There are two reasons. One is that someone who can't solve the case is making up the story of a **** and a ghost. To shirk responsibility; second, it should be the murderer deliberately spreading rumors in order to confuse the public."

The corners of King Kui's lips finally raised slightly and asked, "What else?"

"What appeared at the scene of the murder should be ominous, but the prince always took it with him. Obviously, the relationship between the deceased and the prince was extraordinary, and the murder may still be unresolved."

"Then?"

She pondered for a moment, and then finally said slowly: "If the prince is willing to help me, I can also help the prince find out the result of the murder. No matter how long ago, no matter whether the clues still exist, it will definitely give the prince a clear answer."

King Kui raised his hand and held the glass bottle in front of him to take a look, looking thoughtfully at the scarlet blood on the fish.

The small fish swims slowly in the glass bottle, the ripples are not surprised.

King Kui raised his hand to touch the head of the little fish, watched it suddenly dive into the water after being frightened, and then slowly retracted his finger, slowly raised his eyes to look at the person kneeling in front of him, and said: "Huang Zixia , You are so bold.

Huang Zixia knelt in front of him, her expression as usual, looking at him only with her clear and clear eyes.

"Do you know about this, even the current emperor made it clear that he can't intervene, but you dare to take the upper body and say you can handle this case?" He raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, and she discovered that he has a pair of extremely deep The eyes, on that cold face, seemed even more daunting. "This matter is taboo by the court, but it still leaked out. Where did you hear about this old case, so you are going to take this matter and come to trade with me?"

Huang Zixian couldn't expect that there were so many waves behind this little fish. She bowed her head towards him, but her face was still calm: "The prince forgive me, I have never heard anyone talk about it. I just saw this little fish and remembered that absurd saying. The rest is all. I guess I did not know it beforehand."

He coldly placed the glass bottle on the small table and looked at her expression: "Forgive you for not dare."

"But the truth of the world is revealed not by daring or not, but by being able to do it," Huang Zixia said softly, "Listening to the prince's narration, this case must be thrilling and involve a lot, perhaps even more bizarre than the death of my parents. I think that as long as someone dares to investigate, there will be a day when the truth will come to light."

King Kui did not answer, but only asked: "Since you have come to the capital to avenge your grievances, then you should have conclusive evidence to know who your family's killer enemy is?"

"I..." She was silent, frowning slightly, "After the incident, I was deemed a murderer and could only abscond. But as long as the prince helps me and gives me some time, I believe I will find it!"

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "What I said, I remembered that when you were in Chang'an, you had broken several suspicious cases in the capital. I heard that when you were in Shu County, you also helped your father solve many problems. ?"

"…Yes."

"That's really a small child. It may not be better. He helped your father solve the unsettled case when he was fourteen. How come he can't even find his enemy now?" The corner of his lips raised, slightly mocking, "Even his own grievances." Can't get rid of it, and dare to speak up and talk about this king, trying to make a deal with me?"

Huang Zixian was silent. Li Shubai saw her biting her lower lip, but he did not make a sound, so stubborn. The seventeen-year-old girl was embarrassed and untidy, but it was difficult to conceal the clear and bright complexion, which vaguely overlapped with some things that had appeared in his memory.

So he lowered his voice a little and said, "Huang Zixia, everyone in the world says you are a murderer. If I speak for you, will the world suspect that I have any personal affair with you? What's more, if the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice is true Because I helped you intercede and show kindness to you outside the law, isn't it that I used power to distort the legal principles of the country?"

Huang Zixia listened, knelt down, not saying a word, only biting his lips firmly.

Li Shubai didn't even look at her. He just said, "Go out. I'm not interested in asking about you, and I'm not interested in revealing your whereabouts to the yamen. You will do it for yourself in the future."

She paused, but bowed her head silently, preparing to get out of the car. She knew that the man opposite, even though he held a lot of power, was not related to herself and could not help herself. He was already a favor without asking someone on the spot to tie himself to the Dali Temple.

So she could only leaned over and bowed deeply to him. When it was about to get up, the carriage had already stopped slowly, and the guards outside could only hear the guard say: "Master, we have arrived at Jianbi Palace."

Jianbi Palace is the newly completed Li Palace, just off the outskirts of Beijing. According to the Daming Palace, it has only been ten miles, and it is time for them to speak.

Li Shubai lifted the car window and looked outside. Seeing that all the kings had arrived, there was a lot of noise outside. He could not help but frown slightly and said, "It seems that it is inevitable that I will be found in the same car with the female criminal."

Huang Zixia whispered and stubbornly said: "I didn't kill anyone!"

He ignored it, raised the curtain, and said, "Come down."

She hesitated, and followed him out of the carriage. A low stool was already placed under the carriage. She stepped down on the stool, her feet were not stable, and she felt that her knees were bent back and she was kicked slightly, and her body fell forward involuntarily. In front of a pond, the lotus leaves just planted were drooping listlessly, and the water was extremely muddy. She threw herself into the water, choked on the sewage and coughed violently. She lay down in the silt in an extremely embarrassing manner, and suddenly couldn't climb. Woke up.

Li Shubai turned around and said to the court lady who came up: "You are clumsy, you can wash it, and let her walk back by herself."

As for the explanation of whether it was a man or a woman, he was too lazy to let Huang Zixia deal with it by himself.
