Who the murderer is, Su Wuming still doesn't know for the time being, Li Yan has already punished Ling Hugu, but he is not in a hurry to find the murderer, but directly around him, there are a few more masters in the interior.

Su Wuming was very suspicious of the concubines in the palace, but he didn't have the courage to interrogate, so after solving the matter of Linghu Gu, he didn't stay in the palace for a long time, but left directly.

The weather in Chang'an City was getting hotter and hotter, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, and just as Su Wuming was rushing home, a guard rushed through the street and shouted: "The enemy army has set up camp twenty miles outside the city......

When Su Wuming heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect King Xin's army to go so fast, twenty miles, only half a day's journey from the capital, couldn't those states and counties in the capital have time to resist?

Su Wuming's heart was a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the government prison.

Entering the mansion, Pei Xiu immediately greeted him, Su Wuming explained his intention, Pei Xiu immediately led him to the government prison, and then took the former household secretary Chai Qi to him.

At this time, Chai Qi's expression was sluggish, unkempt, not miserable, and at this time he was as timid as a mouse, just after being escorted into the interrogation room, he suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy, Su Wuming only smiled coldly, and asked: "Lord Chai, King Xin has rebelled, and he will attack Chang'an in the near future, but this official can tell you, the emperor has already made full preparations, King Xin will be defeated, if you know each other, you will tell everything you know, maybe this official can also ask the emperor to spare the lives of your family, if not, this official is before King Xin attacks the city, Kill all of your family, Lord Chai, think about it. ”

Hearing Su Wuming say these words, Chai Qi couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Su Wuming, a scholar-like person, to be so ruthless, hundreds of people from the Nine Clans, he actually said it so lightly.

Of course, at this time, Chai Qi did not doubt Su Wuming's words at all, the crime of collaborating with the enemy, at best, was to punish the nine clans, just look at the emperor's mood, Chai Qi just didn't want to die, he also had to think about his family, so at this time, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "Lord Su spare your life, Lord Su spare your life, I said, I said everything." ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly: "Okay, Lord Chai is a smart person who knows how to make trade-offs, since this is the case, please tell everything you know." ”

At this time, Chai Qi didn't dare to hide anything, so he told Cao Man how to threaten him, how to ask him to withhold grain and grass, and then where to hide the grain and grass, but Chai Qi only thought that Cao Man wanted to get money, but later found out that Cao Man wanted to rebel, but when he thought that Cao Man wanted to rebel, he didn't know that Cao Man was united with King Xin.

For Chai Qi's words, Su Wuming believed it, when the murder of Cao Man's daughter was solved, Chai Qi and his son were involved, and the things that Cao Man knew were enough to threaten Chai Qi, and at that time, Su Wuming felt that Cao Man was not a simple person, and there were dead people in the house.

Now that it has been confirmed from Chai Qi's mouth, Su Wuming immediately said to Pei Xiu: "Master Pei, this news is bothering you to send it to the palace, and the emperor wants to take action against Cao Man." ”

Pei Xiu nodded, but he hesitated a little, and said, "Does Master Su mean that the emperor wants the emperor to attack Cao Man immediately, or?" ”

Su Wuming thought for a while: "It's better to have a plan, just let the emperor be wary of Cao Man first." ”

Pei Xiu understood, and immediately drove into the palace.

As the night deepened, Qiu Shiliang's mansion was full of people, and they all told Li Deyu about going to them earlier today, and after saying this, Ma Yuanzhen said indignantly: "General, this Li Deyu is too much, and he actually wants us to hand over the real power, it seems that we have to let him know that it is powerful." ”

Qiu Shiliang was silent for a while, and then looked at Ma Yuanzhen: "What do you mean, how can you let him know that we are powerful?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen smiled indifferently: "Mutiny!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, mutiny is not a trivial matter, how can it be said that mutiny is mutiny.

However, Qiu Shiliang is an old fox after all, and after hearing Ma Yuanzhen say the word mutiny, he only smiled slightly, and then asked, "How to mutiny?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen bowed his hand slightly, and said: "The food and salary of the forbidden army will be distributed soon, we will not send them this month, and those forbidden troops also have to rely on these food and salary to support their families, without this, it is strange that they do not mutiny, after the household Shangshu Chai Qi was arrested, the emperor did not temporarily let Li Deyu take charge of the household first, we can just use this to talk about it, force the emperor to kill Li Deyu, Li Deyu is the emperor's right and left hand, Li Deyu is dead, the forbidden army is still in our hands." ”

After Qiu Shiliang heard this method, he nodded slightly: "Yes, yes, this is a good method, but you must be cautious." ”

Ma Yuanzhen nodded: "That's right, when the food and salary are not paid, those forbidden troops will definitely come to make trouble, and then we only need to put the responsibility on the household department." ”

In the middle of the night, the weather was even hotter, and the people in the room were talking, as if everyone had become conspirators for a while.

The next day, King Xin's army came to the city, Li Yan immediately organized men and horses to guard the city wall, King Xin had 50,000 or 60,000 troops, not a lot, so they decided to concentrate on a city gate for a dead attack, as long as they entered the city, Chang'an City will be chaotic, at that time, no one in the city officials can control anyone, at that time, they will be like no one.

Moreover, they also have killer features.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Chang'an City has been widened and thickened and heightened, and it is not easy for the rebels in the city to attack quickly, and when the rebels and the forbidden army in the city are deadlocked, a part of the forbidden army in Chang'an City suddenly made a fuss, because they did not get food and pay this month.

They first made trouble in the camp of the forbidden army, and finally made trouble at Qiu Shiliang's mansion, Qiu Shiliang according to what he thought and talked about last night, and put all the blame on Li Deyu of the household department, and after those forbidden troops heard Qiu Shiliang's words, they hurried to the household department to take Li Deyu.

However, when they arrived at the household department, Li Deyu had already received the news in advance and hurriedly entered the palace for help.

Although the forbidden army was bold, they did not dare to make trouble in the palace, and not long after Li Deyu entered the palace, there were immediately internal guards who hugged Li Deyu and walked out, and in Li Deyu's hands, there was a holy decree from the emperor.

Li Deyu took people straight to Qiu Shiliang's mansion, and then said the emperor's words as they were, and reduced Qiu Shiliang to the inner chamberlain, and knew the matter.

After Li Deyu entered Qiu Shiliang's mansion and announced the holy decree, he appeased the forbidden army and promoted Ma Yuanzhen to the commander of the forbidden army, and it was not until this time that Qiu Shiliang realized that he had been deceived by Ma Yuanzhen.

Now that the forbidden army is in the hands of Ma Yuanzhen, he has only become an internal eunuch, and he knows how to save things, even if he still has a few loyal people, he doesn't dare to fight against Ma Yuanzhen and the emperor.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Shiliang had to shout that Ma Yuanzhen harmed me, and then took his own life.

The enemy outside the city is fighting fiercely, and all kinds of siege equipment are used, but Chang'an City is more important in the capital, and all kinds of bows and arrows are complete, so it is captured all day, and the city is full of dead and wounded.

The weather became feverish, the smell of blood dispersed quickly, and the people who were closer to the city gate wanted to vomit when they smelled the smell of blood one after another, Su Wuming went to the city gate once on this day, and after that time, he never wanted to encounter war again.

War, there are too many dead people, looking at those fragmented corpses, people have a sour breath welling up, and they want to vomit out all the things in their stomachs.

Su Wuming is a detective, and he doesn't have a very strong reaction to all kinds of corpses after seeing them, but when he sees the corpses piled up like a hill, he really can't stand it.

The rise and fall of rivers and mountains are all the accumulation of corpses one after another.

In the evening, the warm wind suddenly turned into a breeze, and then the sky and the earth were gloomy, a few swallows flew by the eaves, and soon disappeared without a trace, Su Wuming stood in front of the window and looked up, only to see the clouds hanging low, layer by layer, there is a tendency of black clouds to overwhelm the city.

After evening, the sky was drizzling, and the garden in Sufu became very cool, Nangong Yan picked a few small white flowers and inserted them into the bottle in the bedroom. ”

Nangong Yan disagreed: "Spring has passed, even if you let it grow, it won't be beautiful for a few days, it's better to let me pick it up and decorate the bedroom, and sister, you smell it, is there still a little light fragrance?" ”

The rain grew louder and heavier, and suddenly it was like a madness, Su Wuming stood in front of the window and looked out, and suddenly saw a strong wind, as if it was going to lift up the whole earth, the wind and rain banged on the window lattice, splashing Su Wuming's clothes, Wen Wan'er finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she persuaded: "Xianggong, let's close the window." ”

Su Wuming was still looking at the wind and rain outside, he didn't seem to hear what Wen Wan'er said just now, Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan glanced at each other, and they couldn't understand Su Wuming's reaction, and just when the two were puzzled, Su Wuming suddenly turned his head very excitedly: "I understand, I finally understand." ”

Nangong Yan frowned slightly: "Su Lang, what do you understand?" ”

Su Wuming closed the window with his backhand and said, "I understand the murderer's motive for killing, but at this time, I don't understand how the murderer poisoned Concubine Cao's rouge." ”

Nangong Yan and Wen Wan'er glanced at each other, but the two of them didn't say anything, because they felt that Su Wuming's reaction just now, as well as what he said just now, were a bit of a big mess, making this stormy dusk seem a little bleak.
