Chapter 303: The farce in the fireworks alley
Su Mansion was very lively, and when Su Wuming returned home, Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan had already prepared good wine and food, and they were ready to celebrate.
At that time, it was already dusk, and the breeze was blowing softly, and it was really an elegant thing for everyone to sit in the courtyard and drink.
And at this time, a eunuch came by order, the eunuch just came to pass the decree, the emperor was very pleased that Su Wuming became the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, so he gave Su Wuming a token, a token that many people dream of, this token is generally called the trump card, and after having this token, you can act cheaply.
The function of this token is similar to that of Shang Fang's sword and yellow coat in the play, but the premise is that it cannot be used indiscriminately, with this token, Su Wuming can do a lot of things and don't have to worry about being suppressed.
It's just that Su Wuming at this time understands the emperor's intentions very well, and the emperor may not reward this because he has the title of the first genius in the Tang Dynasty, but this is given in order for him to step up the investigation of the grain and grass deduction case.
If the matter is exposed, Su Wuming will have to investigate, but judging from the current situation, the emperor has no intention of exposing it immediately.
After receiving the thanksgiving, the eunuch left, Nangong Yan and Tang Xiong were all very happy, but Su Wuming frowned slightly, but soon regained his previous demeanor, and said with a smile: "The food is not cold yet, everyone hurry up and eat!" ”
When the night was deep, Hu Fei came to Su Wuming and told him the clues he had investigated, and they had already found out that Chai Qi, the head of the household department, had been in close contact with Cao Man, the uncle of the country, in recent times, as if they were plotting something, but they only investigated these, and they did not investigate the mastermind behind the deduction of grain and grass.
Originally, the household department was in charge of the transportation of grain and grass, and the mastermind behind the scenes should be Chai Qicai, but Su Wuming had already analyzed that it was impossible to deduct grain and grass just to sell it for money, they were likely to rebel, and a household secretary or an uncle of the country would never succeed in rebellion, even if they killed the emperor, but if they wanted to become the emperor, they could never do it.
Moreover, now those eunuchs are in charge of the forbidden army, and they can't transfer troops at all with just a household secretary and a national uncle, even if they want to use force to support a puppet emperor.
Behind this matter, there must be a prince, but who is this prince?
King Di? Anwang Li Rong? Believe in King Li Xin?
These princes may all have rebellious intentions, but Su Wuming doesn't think that King Di will do it now, because according to Su Wuming's understanding, King Di's strength is far from enough, and he has already shown his heart to Su Wuming, before Su Wuming has completely surrendered to him, he can't do it, because if he does, Su Wuming will definitely be a stumbling block for him.
So what about Anwang Li Rong? He is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he respects the emperor very much on weekdays, and this person is very stable and scheming, will he take this opportunity to rebel?
Believe in King Li Xin? He is the younger brother of King Di, and he usually looks very arrogant and reckless, as if he has no scheming at all, but Su Wuming knows very well that the more people like this, the more ambitious they are.
"Is there any recent movement between King Li Xin and King Li Rong of An?"
"These two princes have been very calm in the past few days, staying in the post house, and never meeting anyone in order to avoid suspicion."
"Where's King Di?"
"King Di is more ordinary, occasionally going to the streets of Chang'an City, and even going to the land of fireworks to be merry, oh, by the way, he also went to Wanhualou a few days ago, he spent a lot of money, and insisted that Miss Xiangxiang accompany him for a night, and people were envious at that time!"
Hearing this, Su Wuming was slightly stunned, of course, he was not jealous because Miss Xiangxiang accompanied King Di all night, but he had long felt that Miss Xiangxiang was a very strange woman, and he had long been suspicious of her, and now that she had met with King Di, is there any relationship between the two of them, will Miss Xiangxiang be King Di's spies who stayed in the capital Chang'an?
Didn't Miss Xiangxiang send out a letter at that time? And the king of Di also received a letter at that time, and after he received the letter, he suddenly expressed his peace of mind.
When he left from King Di's mansion, King Di said that there was a person in the capital waiting for Su Wuming, if Su Wuming insisted on refusing to take refuge in him after seeing that person, then he had to give up Su Wuming, could the person King Di say be Xiangxiang? Because it is difficult for any man to resist the temptation of beauties, especially a beauty like Miss Xiangxiang?
There are generally three ways to buy people's hearts, money, power, and beauty.
Money and power were revealed in front of Su Wuming, but Su Wuming was unmoved, and because Nangong Yan and the others were by Su Wuming's side at that time, King Di felt that it seemed difficult for the beauty to impress Su Wuming, so he arranged the beauty in the capital?
When Su Wuming thought like this, Hu Fei said again: "After the talent contest ended today, that Chen Fan also went to Wanhualou and entered Miss Xiangxiang's room, but after Miss Xiangxiang played a tune for him, she pushed him out. ”
This is another unexpected news for Su Wuming, Chen Fan actually went to Wanhualou and found Miss Xiangxiang, is this qiē all a coincidence?
Could it be that Chen Fan is also the person of King Di?
"When you investigated Chen Fan, did you find out that he had anything to do with King Di?"
"No, Chen Fan doesn't seem to have anything to do with King Di."
Su Wuming frowned slightly, the two had no relationship, maybe they were passing on the news through a guò intermediary, for example, that Xiangxiang girl, Su Wuming touched his chin unconsciously, and then smiled: "Okay, it's okay, you go back and rest!" ”
There was nothing to say all night, and after dawn the next day, the sun was sprinkled through the clouds, which made people feel so comfortable, Su Wuming felt that Miss Xiangxiang might be the middleman between King Di and Chen Fan to deliver the news, so he decided to go to Wanhualou today.
After breakfast, Su Wuming walked to Wanhualou very leisurely, there were pedestrians on the street, and it was as prosperous as ever, but yesterday's excitement had passed, and the things of the world would eventually be forgotten with the passage of time.
Walking into the fireworks alley, a thick layer of rouge water was poured in front of many streets, and the rouge water still exudes a faint fragrance, but it gives people an indescribable feeling of nausea, several benefactors walked out of the green building, with a tired face, thinking that they didn't sleep very well last night, and they may be very tired.
After walking through a few green buildings, Su Wuming finally came to Wanhualou, Wanhualou in the morning was very quiet, a few women who had washed away the lead were eating breakfast, after seeing Su Wuming, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly rushed up crazily, these women did not have that thick layer of makeup, but there was no difference between them and the little sister next door, but the helplessness of life, they had to be so.
Su Wuming explained to these girls that he was here to find Miss Xiangxiang, and those women were a little lost, and said that every time someone came, they had to find Miss Xiangxiang.
Of course, every person they say refers to those who don't come often and are very famous, such as King Di, Su Wuming, and Chen Fan yesterday.
In the end, Su Wuming still saw Miss Xiangxiang, when Su Wuming went in, Miss Xiangxiang had just gotten up, she was putting on makeup, she was a very beautiful woman, she was born beautiful, so she was beautiful even without makeup, and after putting on makeup, she gave people another sense of beauty.
After Miss Xiangxiang finished painting her makeup, she was a little embarrassed and said, "I have made Master Su wait for a long time, please forgive me, but I don't know why Lord Su came to the slave family at this time?" ”
Miss Xiangxiang's tone was a little funny, Su Wuming didn't care, and said, "It's nothing, I just heard that after the competition ended yesterday, Chen Fan came to Miss Xiangxiang, so I came to take a look." After Su Wuming finished speaking, he kept staring at Miss Xiangxiang, and he wanted to see something from Miss Xiangxiang's reaction.
But the result made Su Wuming very disappointed, and Miss Xiangxiang smiled in a more provocative tone: "Master Su said this, are you jealous?" But Master Su used to treat me seriously! ”
Su Wuming smiled: "There, Miss Xiangxiang is such a beautiful beauty, that man doesn't like it when he sees it, if I say that I am really jealous, I don't know ...... Miss Xiangxiang."
Before Su Wuming finished speaking, Miss Xiangxiang's door suddenly opened, and then a handsome boy walked in from outside, holding a fan in one hand, and said with a smile: "Yo, I didn't expect Master Su to be still a merry man, and now he will be jealous of a woman who blows a wind!" ”
After Su Wuming heard the voice, he was suddenly startled, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Nangong Yan, which made him stunned for a moment, and his nervous face turned white and blue for a while, but he still quickly recovered: "It turned out to be Brother Nangong, what, do you want to be jealous of Miss Xiangxiang?" ”
Nangong Yan came over and put her hand on Miss Xiangxiang's shoulder, but Miss Xiangxiang twisted slightly, and then dodged it, at this time, Nangong Yan pointed: "Look, I want to be jealous of Miss Xiangxiang, but it's a pity, it's a pity, she doesn't like me!" ”
Su Wuming didn't want to stay here anymore, so he picked up Nangong Yan, turned his head and said to Miss Xiangxiang: "I still have something to do with Brother Nangong, so I'll leave!" ”
After saying that, she was about to pull Nangong Yan away, Nangong Yan was very angry at first and didn't want to leave, but she also knew that if she continued to stay here, she was likely to be embarrassed, so she was reluctantly pulled away by Su Wuming.
Out of the fireworks alley, and came to a place where there was no one, Nangong Yan suddenly punched Su Wuming: "You have a long ability, you ran to the Qinglou early in the morning, is the woman inside so charming?" ”
