Huizhen Temple quieted down, Pei Xiu smiled bitterly, and then said: "Lord Su is so courageous, he dares to agree to the five-day time limit."

Pei Xiu's words were also calm, and they didn't mean much, Su Wuming shrugged: "It's not that the official has the courage, but the murder happened, someone has to solve it, if we don't break it, someone else will definitely break it, and can other people withstand the pressure given by Cao Man like us?" If they can withstand it, it's fine, but if they can't stand it, they must accept it if they solve the case within five days, and if they can't solve the case within five days, I'm afraid that there will be an unjust case in Chang'an City. ”

Su Wuming said vaguely, but Pei Xiu understood it, if he couldn't find the real murderer, couldn't he find a fake murderer?

Since this case is handed over to others is such a result, it is better for the two of them to withstand this pressure and come down, at least this case is in the hands of the two of them, whether it can be solved or not, they will not cause other unjust cases, and other innocent people will not be implicated.

In fact, the reason why Su Wuming has always insisted on solving the case, although it also has the intention of avenging the dead and upholding justice, but the most important thing is to return the innocence to the innocent.

Therefore, for him, the murder case can not be solved, but innocent people must not be implicated.

After the two finished speaking, they noticed that the two monks were chanting the Buddha to the beggar's corpse, the two looked compassionate, and their wrinkled cheeks trembled slightly, Su Wuming saw the two of them like this, and suddenly thought of something, so he interrupted the chanting of the two monks and asked, "What do the two masters call them?" ”

The two old monks were a little surprised, opened their eyes and looked at Su Wuming, and then replied, "Poor monk Huiqing!" ”

"Poor monk Huineng!"

"Where were the two masters when the rain murder happened last night, and what did you hear?"

Huiqing and Huineng glanced at each other, then shook their heads, and said: "The two of us live in the backyard, because the rain and wind interfered last night, and both of us are old and our ears are not sensitive enough, so I didn't hear anything, and I didn't find these two corpses until I came here this morning to chant and do a morning class." ”

After finishing speaking, both of them said Amitabha, and then closed their eyes, as if they were old monks.

There was nothing to ask from these two monks, Su Wuming smiled indifferently, glanced at the corpse of the beggar on the ground, and then asked Pei Xiu: "Master Pei, what can you see from this beggar?" ”

Pei Xiu glanced at the beggar on the ground, the dirt on his face had been wiped clean by Su Wuming, at this time it looked like a white-faced little student, when Pei Xiu said his opinion, Su Wuming smiled and nodded: "Master Pei is right, this person is indeed a beggar, but before the beggar outside the city, it is really as you said, he is a white-faced little student, and his family background is still very good." ”

Pei Xiu was surprised for a moment and said, "Could it be that Master Su recognizes this beggar?" ”

"It's only the first time I've seen this beggar, how can I recognize it?"

"Listening to what Master Su said with such certainty, I thought you knew this person before!"

Su Wuming smiled, shook his head and said: "Naturally I don't recognize it, what I just said is just from the corpse, Master Pei, please look at the fingers of the deceased, the deceased's ten fingers are slender and white, and there is not even a callus on his hands, it is obvious that he has never done coolies before, even after becoming a beggar, he has never done heavy work, just begging for a living, such a person, can't he say that his previous family background was good?" ”

Pei Xiu nodded in agreement, and then asked with some doubts: "But even if he had a good family background before, does it have anything to do with the murder here?" ”

"Of course it matters, this beggar and that Cao Ying were poisoned by the same thing, just imagine how two people with very different identities could be poisoned by consent, I think if we can find out the identity of the beggar, maybe this murder case can make a breakthrough."

Pei Xiu hesitated a little and said: "It rained last night, maybe both of them took shelter from the rain in this temple, as for the poison, it may be that the two of them ate something together, imagine that it was so late, Cao Ying must have been very hungry when she escaped, she may have something to carry with her, so she took it out and ate it, and the beggar was also very hungry, Cao Ying saw him like this, didn't he give him a little?" ”

When Pei Xiu said this, without waiting for Su Wuming to speak, he immediately continued: "You will definitely say that if it is the food given by Cao Ying, what about those meals?" Master Su had already checked the corpse when he checked it just now, and Cao Ying didn't have anything else on him, which meant that after the two of them died, someone broke in again, and then took away all the valuable things on the two of them. ”

Su Wuming smiled faintly: "What Master Pei said also makes some sense, but someone has appeared again, it is a bit too coincidental, I believe that the person who took the money from Cao Ying is the murderer." ”

"Murder for money?"

"It's possible."

Pei Xiu thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to this official, and I will immediately ask the officials of the government to investigate the identity of this beggar, and I will definitely call you back before the evening." ”

The officials in the capital were very effective, and Su Wuming did not doubt this at all, and after some discussion, the two left separately.

It was already noon when Su Wuming returned home, Wen Wan'er prepared a meal and waited for Su Wuming to eat, but after Su Wuming clamped a few chopsticks, he put them down again, Wen Wan'er asked very considerately: "But what trouble did you encounter in Dali Temple?" ”

"There was a murder in Chang'an City, and I am worried about it!"

As soon as she heard that there was a murder in Chang'an City, Nangong Yan immediately became interested and asked, "Murder?" Who was killed? ”

Su Wuming told him about today's events, and after finishing speaking, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and they all said in unison: "Five days to solve the case?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "That's right, it's only five days, but there are very few clues to the murder now." ”

Wen Wan'er was silent at first, and then smiled indifferently: "It's okay, Xianggong is like a god, and he will definitely be able to catch the murderer within five days, even if he can't catch it, although Lord Cao is in a high position, it is impossible to punish the personnel of your Dali Temple casually, right?" ”

Su Wuming knew that Wen Wan'er was comforting herself, in fact, with Cao Man's status, if she wanted to kill a Dali Temple Sizhi, it was not a matter of moving her mouth.

After sighing, Su Wuming said to Tang Xiong: "After lunch, you can go with me to the mansion of Lord Shangshuchai of the Ministry of Households." ”

Tang Xiong didn't ask what to do there, he nodded again and again, and at this time, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun asked, "Master Su, what about us?" ”

"Master Pei is investigating the identity of that beggar, you can also help investigate!"

The spring afternoon was warm, very comfortable, and very pleasant, after Su Wuming and Tang Xiong left, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun also left in a hurry, Nangong Yan was a little unhappy, such an interesting case, why didn't you bring her?

When Jiang Ying and Lin Yun were walking on the street, they suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder, and the two immediately turned around, and then saw a person, a person who led the two of them to a shock.

Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

The imperial study under the resplendent seems a little silent, and the piles of concerts are looked at one after another, I have to say that this Wuzong Emperor Li Yan is still a very diligent emperor, if it is not too short-lived, maybe it can also create a prosperous era.

After reading a few pieces, Li Yan's expression was slightly tired, and he was faintly uneasy when he thought of what Li Deyu told him last night.

When it was raining lightly last night, Li Deyu entered the palace, and before he asked Li Deyu to investigate the matter of the scattered people in Huhai, whether there was a result or not, Li Deyu would report to him after all, and as for what to say and say, it was up to Li Deyu himself.

After listening to Li Deyu's words, Li Yan's mood couldn't calm down, and he felt that it was time to meet the two people he had placed beside Su Wuming.

The voice of a eunuch sounded outside the hall, Li Yan frowned slightly, and then ordered them to come in.

After Jiang Ying and Lin Yun knelt down, they didn't dare to raise their heads, Li Yan looked at the two of them, and didn't mean to let them get up, but asked coldly: "Can you do the things I explained to you?" ”

"Back to the saint, Master Su doesn't have many mouths and tongues, and there is nothing unusual, he is loyal to me and the emperor."

Li Yan snorted coldly and said, "Really? ”

Jiang Ying and Lin Yun glanced up at Li Yan slightly, and saw that his expression was very bad, and they knew that it was not good, but they still nodded again and again: "Back to the Holy Word, it is true." ”

"So what's going on with Shuxinlou?"

Jiang Ying and Lin Yun were puzzled for a while, what happened to Shuxinlou? That's just a shop opened by Master Su to make money, and it is legal to operate without stealing or robbing.

Lin Yun's mind turned extremely fast, and he said, "Please make it clear to the Holy Lord." ”

"I sent someone to investigate the matter of the Huhai Sanren, and the result was Su Wuming, but if I continue to investigate, there will be no results, and I don't even know who the Huhai Sanren is? That person can write such a very strategic book as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he must be a great talent, if he can't be used by my Tang Dynasty, I must not stay, but now that the investigation is broken to Su Wuming, Anzhi is not engaged in conspiracy? At the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he said that the momentum of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. ”

Li Yan's words were quite cold, and these words were told to him by Li Deyu last night, Li Deyu couldn't contain Su Wuming, but he would never let Su Wuming feel better, he knew what the emperor was most taboo, if there was a resourceful person who made him unable to figure it out, he would definitely be very worried, so as to burn the fire on Su Wuming, wouldn't it be just right?
