Outside the Zhaori Tower, the imperial troops sent by Commander Lu were strictly guarded.

Shen Ningning remembered something.

Then he asked the Imperial Guards standing at the door: "I remember that although the Zhaori Tower is usually not guarded, this time because it enshrines the Glazed Buddha, Commander Lu will arrange for the Imperial Guards to take turns guarding here every day."

"Why did Xiaowei say there was no one watching outside when she went in?"

The Imperial Guards handed over their hands and reported back: "Commander Lu has just investigated. The two Imperial Guards who were originally guarding suddenly rushed to rescue people because someone nearby suddenly shouted that they had fallen into the water."

Mo Lingwei frowned: "Fell into the water? Did you save anyone?"

The Forbidden Army shook his head: "No one was found. Commander Lu has already punished those two colleagues."

Shen Ningning even felt that it was Concubine Qi who did it.

First, he planned to lure away the guarding imperial army, but Qi Xiuwei happened to be nearby again.

Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei entered the Zhaori Tower.

The walls are full of gods and Buddhas, solemn and solemn.

The former shrine dedicated to the Glazed Buddha is located due south.

Shen Ningning walked over and saw some fragments of glass on the ground that had not been cleaned up. Under the reflection of the lantern, they reflected a cool light.

Other than this, there is nothing suspicious around.

Just then, there was movement at the door.

The two Imperial Guards raised their hands in unison: "Master Pei."

The door was pushed open, and Pei Yin, who had just rushed back to the palace to hear the news, also came.

When the three of them faced each other, they were all stunned.

Pei Yin took the initiative to say hello, and then confessed: "On the way back, I heard that an eagle was causing trouble in the Zhaori Tower, and it also implicated Miss Qi, so I humbly came to investigate thoroughly.

Mo Lingwei frowned: "Is the eagle yours?"

"Yes." Pei Yin nodded.

Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "I have seen Mengyi too. Although it is a bit greedy and very wild, why does it come to Zhaori Tower? There is nothing to eat here."

Mo Lingwei looked at Shen Ningning with some surprise in his thin eyes.

This little guy also knows the eagle?

Pei Yin took a deep breath and said, "It is definitely not the fault of Meng Yi. Recently, because it has eaten too much, it has frequently flown out and its time to come back has become shorter and shorter. Therefore, before Beizhi left the palace, he locked it in a cage."

He had just come back after changing his clothes, but Meng Yi was still flapping in the cage with anger.

Shen Ningning stamped her feet: "I just said Xiaowei was wrongly accused!"

Pei Yin frowned slightly: "I heard that she has confessed. Since it was not her fault, why did Miss Qi do this?"

He came here just to help Meng Yi and Qi Xiuwei find out.

Shen Ningning glanced at him with dark eyes.

"Why else, it's for you! If the Emperor's uncle really finds out that your eagle hit the Glazed Buddha, you, as the owner, will definitely be punished."

As she said that, the little girl hugged her shoulders and raised her pretty face.

"Xiaowei takes good care of you. If you don't accept her wishes, don't take advantage of her kindness. Huh, the girl you wrote to is not half as good as Xiaowei."

Pei Yin was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "She should be the one who wrote the letter to the humble official.

Shen Ningning was surprised: "What? Then, how did you misunderstand her for so long that you thought she was mine?"

Mo Lingwei didn't understand what he heard and became a little anxious: "What letter are you talking about? Who is communicating with whom?"

The look in his thin eyes was sinister, and he had already glanced at Pei Yin with some displeasure.

Things are complicated, and Shen Ningning doesn't understand it yet.

She explained roughly.

"Master Pei thought that the pen pal he had been writing letters to for four or five years was me."

Mo Lingwei's face suddenly darkened.

Pei Yin continued: "The misunderstanding has been clearly explained."

This is not Shen Ningning's concern now. She wants to find the person who broke the glass Buddha.

Pei Yin learned the whole story and also understood Shen Ningning's guess.

He felt something was wrong: "If it is true as the princess said, it was Concubine Qi who did it, let's not care about why she wanted to deal with the Qi family, just how could she know that Miss Qi was in a bad mood and would come to the bamboo forest around the Sun Pagoda ?”

Shen Ningning looked at him.

Pei Yin lowered his head and said, "It was because of my humble position that I spoke too frankly, which made Miss Qi leave sadly."

Shen Ningning pointed with her little finger: "You, you! When this matter is over, I will encourage Xiaowei to like others!"

After saying that, the little girl analyzed: "Concubine Qi can't be calculating. The reason why she knew that Xiaowei was in a bad mood was because someone tipped her off."

"Who could it be?" Pei Yin's face was dark.

Shen Ningning recalled the Ninth Prince they met when they first came out of the maze.

Qi Xiuwei was in a bad mood, so she borrowed the Ninth Prince's carriage to return to the palace.

Therefore, if the Ninth Prince's people told Concubine Qi that she would temporarily arrange this scene, there would be no difficulty.

"I'm afraid it's the Ninth Prince's people." After Shen Ningning finished speaking, she sighed inwardly.

Concubine Qi is really bad!

She must give Concubine Qi some color.

At this moment, Mo Lingwei was still asking: "Do you usually write letters?"

Shen Ningning hugged his arm: "Brother! What time is it? It's important to investigate the matter of Liuli Buddha first."

At this point, she sighed: "It would be great if Brother Stinky was here. He is very good at investigating cases. Maybe he can find a lot of clues that we can't find."

Unfortunately, Xie Mingan must have been secretly making things difficult for him by the King of Shu and others recently.

More and more cases were piling up in Dali Temple, and he was so busy that he didn't even get a good night's sleep.

After Mo Lingwei heard this, he immediately turned around and started searching around.

Her second brother is not here, so he can do it.

Pei Yin also immediately started to help.

suddenly.

Mo Lingwei saw the wooden ladder leading upstairs, hidden in the dark, but when he shined a lantern, there were footprints.

Someone has gone up to the attic!

But the top of Zhaori Pagoda is full of scriptures, and the statues of gods and Buddhas are all below.

No one would go up except the palace servants.

He waved to Shen Ningning.

The little girl walked over to take a look and wiped the footprints with a handkerchief.

With wet mud.

Shen Ningning suddenly understood and looked at the window on the side.

This is the only place in the Zhaori Tower that has windows that allow people to climb in and out.

But it happens to be adjacent to a bamboo forest.

The man who broke the glazed tower must have stepped on the small island in the bamboo forest and hid in there.

There were only footsteps going up, but no coming down.

Shen Ningning immediately made a few gestures, signaling Pei Yin and Mo Lingwei to come up with her.

That person must still be hiding up there!

The Imperial Guard arrived just in time, and they rushed back right after.

This person definitely hasn't had a chance to escape.

They climbed the stairs quietly.

The bookshelves in the room are filled with scriptures, but there are two large yellow pear wood cabinets, which are used to store things like silk and gold foil.

Mo Lingwei asked Shen Ningning to hide behind the bookshelf, and he and Pei Yin went up to open the cabinet.

As soon as the cabinet on the left was opened, someone punched out!

"Ah, there really is someone!" Shen Ningning shouted.

Pei Yin and Mo Lingwei reacted very quickly.

Mo Lingwei raised his foot and kicked the man violently. He heard a wailing sound and the hiding man fell heavily to the ground. Pei Yin immediately grabbed his arms and pressed his knees on the man's back.

The man struggled continuously, and Mo Lingwei recognized him: "Is it you?"

When Shen Ningning took a look, he turned out to be a young eunuch.

Pei Yin also recognized him.

"It's Dehai, the personal eunuch beside the Ninth Prince." (End of Chapter)
