In this world, there are many people who will use their status or position to do all kinds of dirty things, especially monks, these monks are usually sanctimonious, and their mouths say that the six roots are pure, and the color is empty and the color is color, but who would have thought that what they were doing in private?

Now, knowing that the house of the two monks, Huiqing and Huineng, is coquettish, no matter who you are, you should be able to think that there are women in their house, right?

The official sent by Pei Xiu ran to investigate, and not long after the official left, a official hurriedly came to report, saying that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Cao Guozhang had brought someone to the government to ask for someone.

When they heard the news, everyone was very surprised, but soon, Su Wuming and they already understood Cao Man's intention to come here, Cao Man's daughter was deceived by that party, which led to his daughter being killed, and now Fang Buyi and the maid Luping have been arrested, if he doesn't come to teach them a lesson, can he still call Cao Man?

The official couldn't stop Cao Man, and after he brought a group of people to the living room, he said to Su Wuming and Pei Xiu: "Bring those two dog men and women to Lord Ben, and Lord Ben wants them to pay for my daughter's life today." ”

Pei Xiu felt that Cao Man's misconduct in the mansion was too much, so he wanted to get up and reason with him, but at this time, Su Wuming suddenly preemptively said: "Lord Cao is reasonable, those two people can be said to be the culprits of this murder, if it wasn't for them instigating Miss Cao, how could she run away from marriage and elope, isn't it?" ”

Cao Man didn't expect Su Wuming to agree that it would not be easy for him to find a way to settle accounts, but at this time, he didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "That's right, the two of them are simply to blame." ”

Pei Xiu looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Cao, although the two of them are guilty, but now that the murder case has not been solved, can the punishment of the two of them be postponed a little longer?" ”

"No, the thought of my daughter being killed, but the two of them are still alive, makes Ben-sama feel uncomfortable."

Cao Man's words were resolute, almost no room for refutation, and Su Wuming and Pei Xiu were very clear that in the face of Cao Man's request, they could not object, first of all, Cao Man's identity was not comparable to them, and then the pain of a father losing his daughter was definitely not something they could empathize with, and then there was that his daughter was the imperial concubine, even if they could block Cao Man's offensive, but what about Concubine Cao, Concubine Cao said a word in front of the emperor, I was afraid that there would be a holy decree to ask for the execution of Fang Buyi and Luping, for the emperor, Two lives are nothing at all.

Pei Xiu glanced at Su Wuming with some embarrassment, although he knew that this matter was not easy to do, but as the young Yin of the government, if he let Cao Man take people away casually, where would the majesty of his government be?

Su Wuming smiled lightly and said: "Master Pei, you and I have humble official positions, since Lord Cao has said so, just hand over Fang Buyi and Lu Ping, the crimes of the two of them are indeed very big, even if the murder case is solved, it proves that the two of them are not murderers, and it will be difficult for them to live." ”

When he said these words, Su Wuming especially said the four words of humble official position very seriously, Pei Xiu was not stupid, so he naturally quickly heard some of it, and cured it slightly, and then bowed his hand to Cao Man and said: "Please Lord Cao later, the next official will bring those two people to you." ”

Saying that, Pei Xiu left the living room, and at this time, Su Wuming said to Cao Man: "Lord Cao, please take a seat, the two of them can be disposed of at will, but don't set up a private court, why don't you teach them a lesson here?" ”

Cao Man was slightly stunned, this was something he didn't expect, setting up a private court is a big crime, it's okay if it is not known, but now he is so blatantly taking Fang Buyi and Lu Ping away, if the two of them die, no matter who can see that Cao Man has set up a private court in his own mansion.

Although many court officials can decide a person's life and death, a person's life cannot be so casually said and wanted, there must be a reason, and it must be convicted in accordance with the procedure, handed over to the criminal department for approval, and the criminal department can only ask for their life after the criminal department confirms that it is correct.

And if the criminal is killed in the prison, he only needs to find a reason to cover up the past, but outside the prison, any cover-up is ineffective.

Just when Cao Man was surprised, a person's voice outside suddenly came: "Cao Da** is here, it's really a long way to come, forgive your sins!" ”

The voice was a little old and a little thick, Su Wuming looked up and saw that it was a man who was a little thin and about fifty years old, and in this mansion, it could be so casual, there was only one person outside of Pei Xiu, Liu Minzhi, the lord of Chang'an City.

According to Su Wuming's knowledge, this Liu Minzhi is first-class in terms of talent and ability, and has been a assassin in various places, but he has never been able to be a Beijing official, and later after Li Deyu came to power, he took refuge in Li Deyu, and then was immediately promoted to the position of Yin in Chang'an City, and the promotion was so large that it was simply staggering.

It's just that despite this, no one has said anything about it, because Liu Minzhi does have political achievements in the local area, and he was promoted by Li Deyu, naturally no one dares to say it, and besides, after Liu Minzhi became the governor of Chang'an City, he did a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people, so that no one would say anything anymore.

Fu Yin's status is no smaller than that of a Ministry of Rites, but Cao Man also has the identity of a national abbot, so Liu Min is a little humble everywhere, and after the two sides sit down as the guest of honor, Liu Minzhi smiled and said: "I heard that Lord Cao wants to take away the two prisoners in the prison?" ”

Cao Man frowned slightly, he had already thought of what Pei Xiu had done just now, he and Su Wuming didn't dare to help themselves, so they had to find someone who could fight against him.

Liu Minzhi, as a member of the Li Party, also hates these relatives, and now Cao Man wants to mention people casually in his mansion, if he really succeeds, not to mention that Li Deyu will be very disappointed in him, even in this face, it is impossible to pass, and this kind of precedent must not be opened.

Now if Cao Man can come to his mansion and take away the two people, then I don't know if the Shangshu Lord will come here to take away the two people in the future, so that the majesty of the government is not there, how to govern the people in this Chang'an City?

Although he understood Pei Xiu and Su Wuming's plan, Cao Man at this time did not plan to take those two people away, after all, what Su Wuming said just now was right, it is not a good thing to set up a private court, and now that Liu Minzhi is here, it is better to simply give him face.

"Lord Liu said that, although the official is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a national abbot, but the law of the country is still clear, this kind of thing is taken away from the government prison, the official will never do it, today the official is here, just to punish those two people, for my daughter to vent his anger, this request, Lord Liu will not give this request, right?"

Liu Minzhi was a little surprised, he thought that this matter would be difficult to handle, and it was possible to fall out with Cao Man, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Man immediately changed his mind, and he knew very well that this would definitely not be because of his identity as Fu Yin Cao Man, he glanced up at Su Wuming slightly, slightly frowned, and suddenly understood something, and after understanding, Liu Minzhi immediately smiled: "Lord Cao's face is still to be given, as long as the two prisoners are not taken out of the mansion, they will be at the disposal of Lord Cao, It's just that...... It's better to spare their lives and let them see who the real killer is. ”

Cao Man nodded, not long after, Pei Xiu took Fang Buyi and Lu Ping to the living room, after the two of them knelt down, their faces were panicked, and their bodies even trembled, Cao Man snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You two, kidnapping my daughter, causing her to suffer an accident, Lord Ben will not pick your skin today, and I will not give up." ”

Fang Buyi and Lu Ping were even more afraid, and knelt on the ground again and again to beg for mercy, but in the face of Cao Man, who lost his daughter, their plea for mercy would only arouse Cao Man's anger even more, and when the two of them begged for mercy, Cao Man gave an order, and immediately a few people subdued the two of them to the ground, picked up the board and fought.

The screams were endless, Su Wuming, Liu Minzhi, Pei Xiu and others all looked embarrassed, but Cao Man looked proud, very relieved, so after using up the board and using several other punishments, until the two passed out many times, Liu Minzhi stepped forward and said: "Lord Cao, I think these two people have only half a life left, let's keep them first." ”

Cao Man nodded, then bowed his hand to Liu Minzhi, and then led people out of the mansion, since the anger has come out, it is better to leave as soon as possible, at least there is no need to be hypocritical with these people.

After Cao Man left, Liu Minzhi glanced at Su Wuming and said with a smile: "Lord Su undertook this case on behalf of Dali Temple and my government office, I wonder if there are any clues now?" Who is the murderer? ”

In the face of Liu Minzhi's inquiry, Su Wuming only smiled lightly and said, "Master Pei has already sent someone to investigate just now, and if there is any result, the case may be closed today." ”

"Today?" Although Liu Minzhi was forced to calm down, he still showed a slight look of surprise.

Su Wuming nodded: "That's right, maybe the case will be solved today." ”

Liu Minzhi smiled lightly, then said a few words and left, he didn't want to participate in this murder, he was just curious to ask just now.

Not long after Liu Minzhi left, the officials hurried back, their expressions were very bad, Su Wuming saw their expressions, frowned slightly, and asked, "Didn't investigate it?" ”

A servant nodded: "We have carefully investigated the Huizhen Temple, but we have not found any suspicious clues, and there is no trace of a woman's existence in it. ”

Su Wuming touched his chin, then shook his head and said, "No, even if Lu Ping points out who the murderer is, she should know that Cao Man will not let her go." ”
