Chai Yunzhong's expression was a little worse, and in the face of his father's questioning, he finally nodded.

At this point, a lot of things are almost doomed.

Chai Qi was furious, and suddenly stepped forward and gave Chai Yunzhong a slap, Chai Qi hit Su Wuming, Su Wuming dared to hide, and Tang Xiong also dared to block, but he beat his son, but his son didn't dare to hide at all, let alone block, so after a loud slap sounded in the living room, the whole living room suddenly quieted down.

Cao Man was very relieved in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face, although he wanted to avenge his daughter, he wanted to complete the plan in his mind, he wanted to complete his plan before, and he needed his daughter to marry Chai Yunzhong, and then his daughter was killed, he felt that this plan was probably going to run aground, but now he saw hope again, as long as he threatened Chai Qi with this matter.

There are more people in the court who like to use threats as a means, and Cao Man does not think of himself as a gentleman, so he can also use threats to achieve his goals.

But the first thing to do now is to seize the spirit officer to avenge his daughter.

So at this time, Cao Man looked at Chai Yunzhong and asked, "Yunzhong, let me ask you, was that spirit officer instructed me to kill my daughter?" ”

When Chai Yunzhong heard this, he suddenly knelt down and shook his head again and again: "No, absolutely not, how could I instruct the spirit officer to kill someone, right...... It was that spirit officer who loved me too much, after hearing that I was going to marry Cao Ying, he couldn't stand it, so he killed Cao Ying behind my back, and he didn't tell me about it until after he killed someone, I was very scared, and I didn't dare to say it, everything was done by that spirit officer......"

In this world, there is a saying that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, and husbands and wives are still like this, not to mention two men, they are afraid that even the most basic physical contact is incomplete, let alone each other's inner feelings.

Now in the face of a murder case, Chai Yunzhong naturally has to pick himself clean.

As for this answer, although Su Wuming and Pei Xiu didn't agree very much, Cao Man bowed slightly, and after he bowed his head, he said to Chai Yunzhong: "Okay, uncle, I will believe you once, then please tell me where the spirit official is now, this official will avenge his daughter and only catch the culprit." ”

When Chai Qi heard Cao Man's words, a sense of hope suddenly rose in his heart, so he hurriedly pointed to his son and shouted: "What are you still doing there, hurry up and tell where the murderer is?" ”

Chai Yunzhong glanced at Su Wuming, and finally said, "I haven't seen him for a while, he should still be in Qinxin Garden now!" ”

"Chai Gongzi, the spirit officer has already left Qinxin Garden, don't you know?" Pei Xiu looked at Chai Yunzhong and asked coldly.

Chai Yunzhong was startled, and then shook his head again and again: "I don't know, he ...... How did he leave? Chai Yunzhong was a little stunned, I don't know if it was because the departure of the spirit officer made him a little embarrassed, or he felt that after the spirit officer left, his heart was somewhat missing.

Cao Man frowned slightly, and then said to Pei Xiu: "Master Pei, with the power of your mansion, it shouldn't be a problem to catch a fugitive." ”

Pei Xiu's face was embarrassed, but in the end he nodded: "Naturally, it's not difficult!" ”

And at this time, Su Wuming suddenly smiled faintly: "Actually, if you want to catch that spirit official, why is it difficult?" ”

"Oh, you have a way?" Cao Man looked at Su Wuming, but at this time he didn't want to show any more expressions.

Su Wuming nodded: "As long as Chai Gongzi is willing to help, there is no problem at all in catching that spirit official." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Chai Yunzhong's face was pale and terrifying, as if he had fallen into a trap.

Chai Yunzhong was arrested, and he was beheaded in a few days, and after the news spread, Su Wuming, Pei Xiu and others waited in the mansion, and they had to wait for the spirit official to come to the door in person to confess.

Since a man is willing to kill for Chai Yunzhong, then for this man, his love may be much stronger and more blind than Chai Yunzhong's, if he knew that Chai Yunzhong was charged with murder, what would he do?

The distortion of human nature is sometimes horrific, and this horror includes the act of killing people and the act of self-sacrifice.

At noon the next day, a person came to the Chang'an Mansion, who was dressed in plain white, his cheeks were very handsome, more handsome than a woman, and there was a terrifying charm between his smile and smile, but unfortunately he was a man.

He claimed to be Lingguan and was the murderer of Cao Ying.

Su Wuming's guess was finally right, this spirit official loved Chai Yunzhong and went crazy, he could do everything for him, his love was not noble, but it was very pure.

Love, it's as simple as that, just because of love.

After the spirit officer subdued the law, he told all the causes and consequences of the matter, most of them had already guessed these situations, but in these words said by the spirit officer, he took all the blame on himself, claiming that because he loved Chai Yunzhong too much, he did stupid things from him.

At this point, the murder case in Huizhen Temple is over.

And on the evening after the murder ended, Su Wuming was recruited into the palace by a decree of the emperor, and at the same time, Chai Qi was invited to the palace by Cao Man.

Let's talk about Chai Qi first, after he came to Cao's Mansion, he was very nervous, he didn't understand why Cao Man asked him to come here, but because of the previous murder, he didn't dare to excuse himself.

After the two met, they entered Cao Man's study, that place usually does not allow anyone to enter casually, it is very large and quiet, after the two sat down, Cao Man directly said straight to the point: "I invite Lord Chai to come today, because the official has something to ask for, and I hope that Lord Chai will help." ”

Chai Qi had more or less guessed some of Cao Man's intentions, so at this time, he hurriedly said: "Please ask Lord Cao to give instructions, if this official can help, he will definitely help." ”

"Lord Chai can naturally help, if you can't help, why am I looking for you?"

"Please!"

"I need Chai-sama's financial support!"

"This ......" Chai Qi was a little surprised, but soon, he said: "Lord Cao, although the official has some small property in the family, you must be with Lord Cao, but it is nothing, this money supports ......"

Cao Man smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Lord Chai, don't be presumptuous, you are the head of the household, in charge of the world's money and grain, and you have a little support for me Cao Man, it shouldn't be nothing, right?" ”

Chai Qi's heart sank slightly, what he was most worried about still happened, as a household secretary, there are indeed many ways to get money, but this is a risk, he looked up at Cao Man slightly, and saw Cao Man's calm self-confidence and the greed and ferocity revealed in his self-confidence, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Please rest assured that Lord Cao." ”

The dusk of the palace is beautiful, and the sunset shines on the quaint palace walls, as if it is a painting.

Li Yan waited for Su Wuming in the imperial study, but after Su Wuming entered, he found that in addition to the yellow Li Yan in the imperial study, there were two other people, Li Deyu and Lu Yan, the secretary of the ministry, for Li Deyu, Su Wuming naturally knew, and this Lu Yan, because he mentioned his own affairs in front of the emperor, he returned to the capital from Qiantang, so after coming back, Su Wuming also inquired about Lu Yan's affairs to some extent.

This Lu Yan does not seem to be attached to any faction, but he is also prosperous, as for the reason, Su Wuming did not investigate it, but on the surface, this Lu Yan does have this capital to be the secretary of the ministry, this Lu Yan is a family of big families, the strength is very strong, and he is full of talent, and he is a capable official, he has done a lot of things for the Tang Dynasty, and has won Li Yan's favor, of course, Li Yan's favor to Li Deyu is even greater than Lu Yan's.

Seeing that Li Yan summoned himself and also summoned these two people, Su Wuming was even more puzzled by the emperor's purpose of summoning him, and after stepping forward to salute, he stood aside and waited for the fate.

Li Yan's face was grim, he looked at Su Wuming and said: "Su Aiqing solved the murder case in Huizhen Temple in just a few days, it really lives up to expectations, just now I discussed with Li Aiqing and Lu Aiqing, I felt that there was an important task, Su Aiqing would definitely be able to complete it, so I summoned you to ask you what you mean." ”

Although Li Yan said politely, Su Wuming knew that he couldn't shirk any imperial order.

"Wechen just did what he should do, but if the emperor has any orders, Wechen will definitely die."

Li Yan bowed slightly, and then said: "Li Aiqing played, saying that now Buddhism is expanding too much, occupying the land of many people, so that many people have no land to cultivate, and these monks are rich and flowing, I decided that the monks should be green lantern ancient Buddha, no desire and no desire, what do you want so much money and land?" So I want to send a messenger to collect the land of those monks, and demolish the magnificent temples of those monks, although this matter is only a matter of my words, but it is difficult to implement, after all, the influence of Buddhism in my Tang Dynasty is still there, Su Aiqing is a capable person, I believe you will be able to do it. ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, Li Deyu echoed again and again, while Lu Yan stood aside without saying a word, Su Wuming listened to the emperor's words, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, he naturally knew that this matter was difficult to do, and dared to go against the entire Buddhism, but I was afraid that in the end I didn't even know how he died, first of all, the power of the Buddhist monastery itself was very strong, and their tens of thousands of followers were by no means easy to deal with.

But in the face of the three people in front of him, Su Wuming didn't have any choice, and in the end he could only kneel down to receive the order, and with Li Yan's encouragement, he was grateful to Xie En and left.
