Chapter 38 Changsun Wuji is also anxious
After hearing this, the woman's eyes widened.

She never dreamed that a fortune teller was actually friends with Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and others.

Moreover, the relationship is quite deep.

Now, the prefect of Jingzhao actually arrested the emperor's friend.

Isn't this clearly a way to destroy your own future?
The wife of the prefect had a worried look on her face and spoke anxiously, "Master, if this matter gets to the emperor, what should we do?

Do you think that releasing the fortune teller might help to calm things down? "There was a hint of helplessness in her words.

The prefect sighed, and before he could answer, the woman asked anxiously, "If you could release him, why would I be so anxious?"

The prefect smiled bitterly and explained with a tearful tone, "Hey, Madam, Duke Zheng insisted that this case must be handled impartially and impartially, and that only when the truth is revealed can Mr. Xu be given an explanation. If I release him privately, wouldn't that be a violation of the law?"

After hearing this, the woman stood there in a daze, her eyes widened, and she fell into a chair in a daze. At this moment, a voice outside the door announced: "Sir, the Duke of Qi is here!"

The prefect was shocked, his face turned pale instantly, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What should we do? Duke Qi has come here in person, is he here to call for justice?"

The prefect spoke in panic and turned to look at the woman, only to find that her eyes were dull and she seemed still immersed in her own thoughts, ignoring the prefect's anxiety.

"Madam, please think of a solution!" The prefect shouted anxiously, but the woman still sat there like a stone sculpture. The sudden visit of the Duke of Qi made the prefect like an ant on hot pot, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Gou Daren, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was feeling extremely uneasy and wished the ground would crack so he could hide there.

Suddenly, a low voice of ridicule came into my ears: "Oh, Lord Prefect, your authority is so great that it can block out the sun and the sky. If an old man like me doesn't come to you, are you going to host a banquet in the government office to entertain me?"

Before he finished speaking, Gou Daren trembled and looked outside the door hurriedly, only to see Changsun Wuji walking towards him leisurely.

The prefect's heart tightened and he almost cried out, but he still went out to meet him, knelt on the ground with a plop, and begged for mercy: "Duke Qi, I am really blind, please have mercy!"

He cried as he spoke, looking pitiful. However, Changsun Wuji's face turned ashen and his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Mr. Xu, he is a pillar of the Tang Dynasty and a think tank that His Majesty relies on!"

Zhang Sun Wuji's tone was stern, and every word was as sharp as a knife. "How dare you do this without asking any questions, and you still want to stir up trouble in front of His Majesty?"

He snorted coldly, frightening Gou Daren so much that his face turned pale and his whole body was cold. He cried out, "This humble official deserves death. Please save me, Duke Qi!"

"Hmph!" The voice echoed in the empty courtyard. The prefect Gou Daren felt that the future was dark and he was extremely desperate.

Zhang Sun Wuji waved his hand and said to the prefect in a serious manner: "This time is not like usual. The one who can save you is none other than Mr. Xu!"

His tone changed, with a hint of joking, "Get up, I'll give you a chance to make amends. Whether you can seize it or not is entirely up to you."

When the prefect heard this, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the ground in a hurry, like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw. Changsun Wuji smiled and continued to give orders: "Hurry up, send someone to secretly follow the eldest daughter of the Sun family and her romantic lover. If you are lucky, you will make a major discovery tonight and save your life." He paused deliberately, leaving a string of suspense, and then turned around and was about to leave.

The prefect stared at his tall figure in a daze for a long while before coming to his senses and responding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, thank you, Duke Qi, for your guidance!"

Changsun Wuji had already walked to the gate, turned back and smiled gently, "No need to thank me, thank Mr. Xu instead." The prefect was still hunched over, and he was unable to straighten up until Changsun Wuji's figure disappeared from his sight.

Night fell, and the hour of midnight had passed. In the night of Chang'an City, a figure hurriedly walked through. Soon, he came to a big tree, where a figure was waiting quietly.

The figure ran forward in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, I, I, I'm here!" He looked so nervous, like a child who had just stolen candy.

At this time, a gust of night wind blew by, and the hem of Miss Sun's skirt fluttered gently, revealing a section of her fair calves. Her eyes moved, her red lips slightly parted, and she said seductively, "Since you're here, don't just stand there. Tell me, what did you find?"

The figure swallowed, tried to look away from her, and reported tremblingly.

"Lin Fei, you bastard, didn't I ask you to deal with my sister yesterday? Why are you still letting her run around in this world?" Sun Chuwei raised her eyebrows and her tone was cold.

The eldest daughter of the Sun family was beautiful, but she was scheming and lazy, even cats disliked her. The youngest daughter, Sun Qianqian, was different. She was the apple of the family's eye. She was smart and clever since she was young. She was good at playing the piano and painting, and was loved by her parents.

Sun Chuwei was naturally jealous of this, and even the man wanted to compete with her sister.

"I did take action yesterday..." Lin Fei's tongue was tied and he was interrupted by Sun Chuwei before he could finish his words.

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me. Don't let that little bastard run away." Sun Chuwei snorted coldly, and the threat was self-evident.

"Yes, yes, I understand..." Lin Fei nodded quickly, his face full of horror.

Sun Chuwei nodded in satisfaction, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, set foot on the path leading to the ruined temple outside the city.

The dilapidated temple has been abandoned for many years. Rumor has it that strange noises are often heard at night. At this moment, it is pitch black, with gusts of cold wind and the strange noises are heard everywhere.

The two of them had something to hide, and they were even more frightened when they heard this voice. Lin Fei's throat rolled, and he said with a stiff face: "You go ahead, I will follow you!"

Sun Chuwei was in front, walking lightly and swaying her waist. Her figure was slightly seductive in the night. Her upright chest and slender legs seemed to exude an irresistible aura in the darkness.

Lin Fei followed closely behind, feeling very nervous. He was afraid of the weirdness in the temple and Sun Chuwei's coldness.

Lin Fei frowned, took out a flint, lit a torch, and took Sun Chuwei into the ruined temple.

Although the temple was small, it was in a state of decay, with not even a ghost to be seen. He led Sun Chuwei around the front hall and came to the wasteland in the backyard.

"Look at this shabby place, is there really anyone there?" Sun Chuwei teased, but her eyes couldn't help but look around. In the backyard, two dilapidated houses collapsed beyond recognition, obviously no one had lived there for a long time.

Lin Fei took Sun Chuwei to a dilapidated house, where there was a well that was pressed down by a huge rock. He stood by the well, clasped his hands together, and muttered something, as if praying for something.
