Chapter 244: Betrayal
Faced with Ling Hu Gu's direct inquiry, Su Wuming had no choice but to answer very directly, and after he answered, he was full of doubts, he didn't understand why Ling Hu Gu did this.
And at this time, Ling Hugu suddenly sighed and said, "Nameless, you are confused!" ”
With Linghu Gu's identity, it is not necessary to call Su Wuming like this, but Su Wuming was slightly stunned, why was Ling Hugu suddenly so kind to himself at this time?
"Please make it clear to Lord Fox!"
Ling Hugu sighed again and said, "Don't you know the power of Buddhism? This kind of thing is simply impossible to accomplish, unless the emperor is a tyrant and suppresses it by force...... Alas......"
It turned out that Ling Hu Gu was thinking about himself, but from the perspective of Ling Hu Gu's situation, Su Wuming couldn't see that he was thinking about himself at all, his words were more like regret for something that had happened, and his tone made Su Wuming very annoying and bored.
He knew that he couldn't disobey the emperor's order to refuse this matter, and now he was pretending to care about himself here, what was the point? Knowing that he has accepted the emperor's order, what is the use of saying such nonsense?
Hypocritical people always think that their performance is seamless, but in fact, all this is clearly seen by Su Wuming, but he doesn't want to explain the matter.
"Let Linghu-sama bother!" Although I have seen Ling Hugu's makeup clearly, there are some things that should be said or said, people are like this, they often don't know what they want, and they don't dare to say everything in their hearts.
Ling Hugu sighed: "That's it, that's it, you go and get busy." ”
Su Wuming bowed and retreated, his face was still calm, and this made Ling Hugu's pride seem a little early, so after Su Wuming left, Ling Hugu immediately frowned slightly, and then let a cronie come in.
But not long after Su Wuming left Dali Temple, a little man suddenly stopped him, bowed his hand to him, and asked, "But Su Wuming Master Su?" ”
This little guy appeared too suddenly, which startled Su Wuming, he looked at the little guy, saw that there was no disgust in his eyes, he was a little relieved in his heart, nodded, and said, "It's this official, who are you, why are you blocking my way?" ”
The little guy hurriedly saluted and said, "The owner of the villain wants to see the adult, I wonder if Master Su can appreciate his face?" ”
"Who is the master of your house?"
"Adults will know when they go."
Su Wuming frowned slightly, now he is very clear about his situation, there are not no people who want to attack him, but after some thought, Su Wuming decided to meet that person, some things can't be avoided, since you can't hide, then face it.
Under the leadership of that little guy, Su Wuming walked into a gambling house, a gambling house with a very prosperous business, but this gambling house is no different from other gambling houses, black smoke miasma, noisy and screaming, there are a lot of them.
After entering the gambling house, the little maid led Su Wuming into the backyard of the gambling house, the backyard was very quiet, and there was a little elegance, the little maid pointed to a room on the east side, and said, "My master is waiting for you inside." ”
Su Wuming nodded, knocked on the door, and then walked in, after walking in, he found that it was a study, an antique study with a suite, there were a lot of books in the study, and at the desk outside, there was a person sitting, when Su Wuming saw the person's face clearly, he couldn't believe it was true.
"Lord Lu?" Su Wuming shouted out in surprise, he didn't believe that the person who wanted to see him in this place turned out to be Lu Yan, the secretary of the ministry.
At this time, Lu Yan only smiled lightly: "Master Su, don't come unharmed!" ”
Su Wuming saluted again and again, and then asked, "I don't know why Lord Lu came to find an official?" ”
Lu Yan smiled indifferently: "Master Su walked on the street today, did you find anything abnormal?" ”
Su Wuming frowned slightly, but quickly replied calmly: "Everyone looks at me a little strangely, it must be that the matter of attacking Buddhism has been spread by others!" ”
Lu Yan reassured the book in his hand and said, "It's not someone else who spreads it, it's me!" ”
"Lord Lu, you ......" Su Wuming couldn't accept this sentence for a while, he thought that the person who framed him was Li Deyu, after all, the two of them had a holiday, but he never thought that it was Lu Yan who framed him, but he didn't remember where he offended this Lu Yan?
And at this time, Lu Yan smiled again and said: "The reason why I did this is just to let Master Su understand that it is not easy to attack Buddhism, and it is good to dispel this idea while you haven't done it yet." ”
"Lord Lu believes in Buddhism?"
"Don't believe it!"
"If you don't believe in it, why do you stop the lower officials from attacking Buddhism? The harm of Buddhism to my Tang Dynasty, presumably Lord Lu can't be unaware! ”
Lu Yan was slightly stunned, and then said: "The starting point of Buddhism is good, it's just that some monks have used it, but the world is ignorant and can't distinguish between these, the reason why I want to stop you is that I don't want you to be doomed because of this matter, you are a talented person, I must leave a person like you for Datang." ”
Su Wuming was shocked when he heard this, he thought that Lu Yan was doing this to frame himself, but listening to his words, he didn't want to take risks.
He didn't understand that he had no contact with this Lu Yan at all, why did he want to help himself like this?
Will his help help him?
After thinking about it for a long time, Su Wuming shrugged his shoulders and sneered: "It's a pity, it's too late, the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, and no one can change the emperor's will." ”
Lu Yan smiled and shook his head: "It's not like you think, as long as you are willing, we can find a way to let the emperor send other people." ”
Hearing this, Su Wuming was taken aback, he had naturally thought of this method, and with his ability, it was not impossible to shirk it, but if this was the case, leaving a bad impression on Li Yan, it might also cause some other things.
"Lord Lu's kindness is understood, but if this matter is handed over to others, I am afraid that things will develop to the point of being out of control, just now Lord Lu also said, the starting point of Buddhism is good, but it is just used by some monks with ulterior motives, although we say that we are fighting Buddhism, but the real blow is those monks with different intentions, isn't it?"
Lu Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled faintly: "It seems that I can't persuade Master Su, since that's the case, Lord Su please take care of yourself." ”
But Su Wuming didn't leave, Su Wuming glanced at the entire study, and suddenly asked, "Who is Lord Lu helping to do?" ”
"You...... Why do you say that? ”
"Lord Lu is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but there is such a study room behind this gambling house, isn't it too strange? Is this really your study? ”
Lu Yan glared, and then said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, if there is nothing to do, you can leave!" ”
Su Wuming smiled, then turned to leave.
After making sure that Su Wuming left the gambling house, a person suddenly came out of the inner room of the study, this person was about thirty years old, his expression was calm, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This person is really interesting." ”
Lu Yan turned around abruptly and was about to salute, but was stopped by the man waving his hand, and ordered: "Sell this casino, and then send someone to pay close attention to Su Wuming's movements." ”
After leaving the gambling house, Su Wuming touched his nose, and then smiled slightly, he felt that the things he encountered today were really a little laughable, and soon he shrugged his shoulders, he knew very well that these things seemed absurd, but there must be various forces behind them.
And if he wants to complete the things that Emperor Li Yan explained, I'm afraid it will not be easy.
While walking on the street like this, suddenly a voice came from behind Su Wuming: "Master Su! ”
Su Wuming turned his head to look and saw that it was a man dressed extremely ordinary, and he didn't seem to know this person, Su Wuming was very puzzled in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he asked very calmly: "Are you?" ”
"Master Su doesn't know the little one, but the little one knows the little one, and the little one feels familiar in the gambling house just now, and now when I look at it, it's really Lord Su."
The man was excited, but Su Wuming listened to it in a fog.
Soon, the man discovered Su Wuming's doubts, so he hurriedly explained: "At the beginning, in the fourth end of the alley in Qiantang County, the little one had seen Master Su. ”
Su Wuming frowned slightly: "You are from Long Qi?" ”
"Exactly, little Xu Maocai."
"Aren't you in Simo Hutong, why did you come to the capital?"
Xu Maocai's expression changed slightly, and then said: "Don't hide it, we were framed in that place in Qiantang, and the four end of the alley were destroyed overnight. ”
"You quite believe in Long Qi!"
"Of course, our seventh master's ability is very powerful, with him we will definitely be able to make a comeback, at that time in the dangerous situation of Simo Hutong, he can take us to escape, in the capital to make a name for themselves, what's so difficult."
If a person can be trusted like this, then he must be a capable person, thinking about the situation when he met Long Qi at the beginning, there is really a pride in it, thinking of this, Su Wuming suddenly asked: "Where does Long Qi live now?" ”
"In the liquor shop alley in the west city of Chang'an City."
"Long Qi is in the wine shop alley in West City?"
"Exactly, Master Su, I don't know if I can let my seventh master go to visit you, after my seventh master came to the capital, what I wanted to see most was Lord Su, at that time, the seventh master said that Lord Su was definitely not a thing in the pool."
This is Xu Maocai's compliment, Su Wuming smiled indifferently, and said, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to do, let's go to the wine shop alley with you." ”
Xu Maocai was a little surprised, and responded again and again.
