Li Deyu left the palace in a hurry, and only the emperor Li Yan and Su Wuming were left in the entire imperial study.

Li Yan's expression was slightly condensed, he glanced at Su Wuming, and said, "Su Aiqing, how is the investigation of that case?" ”

Su Wuming hesitated, but still replied: "That man Weichen already knows it in his heart, but in order to avoid framing a good person, Weichen still wants to test it again, as for the murderer, there is no conclusive evidence to prove who is the murderer for the time being, and I ask the emperor to give Weichen some more time." ”

Li Yan was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "I believe you, so you must investigate this matter for me to investigate." Speaking of this, Li Yan hesitated for a long time before speaking again: "Do you have any opinion on the rebellion of King Xin?" ”

"If the king rebels, he will be defeated!" Su Wuming glanced at Li Yan, although he is not a person who likes to pat on the back, but in front of this high-ranking person, some sycophants still need to be slapped.

It's just that Li Yan is by no means a foolish person, he saw that Su Wuming thought that King Xin would be defeated, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked: "Oh, Su Aiqing thinks that King Xin will be defeated, but what reason is there?" ”

Su Wuming smiled and said: "There are naturally reasons, first of all, the emperor is sage, the world is in the heart, the king of the letter is not right, the people of the world are the opposite, there is this condition, the emperor is in an invincible position first, and furthermore, the soldiers of the king of faith are only tens of thousands of people, but the emperor has all the troops of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the emperor gives an order, they will definitely surround the soldiers of the king of faith." ”

"But what if I don't want soldiers from other places to come to this king?" Li Yan looked at Su Wuming, his eyes twitched slightly.

Su Wuming was slightly stunned, but he quickly replied: "The emperor doesn't want those generals to be Qinwang, it's okay, after all, there are only tens of thousands of horses and horses, and the forbidden army in the capital is enough for them to drink a pot, but if the emperor doesn't want those soldiers to come to the capital Qinwang, there is one matter, I'm afraid that it must be solved as much as possible." ”

Li Yan frowned slightly, he asked Su Wuming these questions, just to hear if Su Wuming could provide some good advice, but the previous words were just some sycophants, which made Li Yan very annoyed, but the last sentence was just talking about Li Yan's idea.

"Oh, Su Aiqing thinks that thing must be handled?"

"Back to the emperor, my capital has always been prosperous, and the food stored is enough for the people of Chang'an City to eat for three years, so we don't have to worry about being trapped at all, but if we fight with the enemy for a long time, the people in the city will inevitably be flustered, so that the disaster will cause Xiao Wall, so Weichen feels that even if he fights against the enemy, he must do his best to destroy the enemy army, and all states and counties outside the capital should organize troops to fight against the enemy, and besides, we must snatch back the enemy's grain and grass."

Speaking of this, Su Wuming glanced up at Li Yan slightly, and seeing that Li Yan was deep in thought, Su Wuming spoke again: "Didn't Gao Chen and Ma Dai say that the grain and grass in the border pass were deducted by the household department a few days ago?" Weichen felt that the mastermind behind this matter was likely to be King Xin, otherwise he would dare to do such a thing with Chai Qi, a household book? ”

Li Yan listened and bowed slightly: "What does Su Aiqing mean is that those grains and grasses are the foundation for King Xin's rebellion?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Exactly, without those grains and grasses, what will King Xin's soldiers and horses eat?" The soldiers don't have anything to eat, who will follow the rebellion? ”

Li Yan nodded: "Su Aiqing is reasonable, I immediately sent someone to snatch back the grain and grass that was deducted by the household Shangshu, even if you can't get it back, you can't be cheap if you burn it." ”

Su Wuming smiled, but stopped him: "Your Majesty, now that the enemy is very close to the capital, the emperor wants to send people, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to break out of the encirclement, Weichen thinks, you might as well give an order to General Guo of the border pass, let him send an army to raid the county where the grain and grass are seized by the household department, and after the grain is snatched, it will be transported directly to the border pass, so as to cut off the enemy's rear route, and ensure that my Datang border pass is safe, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" ”

After listening to Su Wuming's words, Li Yan showed a look of appreciation on his face, he felt that the person he was looking for was really not wrong, and after nodding, he said, "Okay, just do what Su Aiqing said." ”

After Su Wuming left the imperial study, he originally wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, he went to Concubine Cao's bedroom again, and after seeing Qing'er, he asked Qing'er to write a few words, and after Su Wuming got those words, he went home.

The summer weather was hot, and there were fewer people on the streets of Chang'an City, and when Su Wuming arrived home, he was already sweating, but he didn't think about washing it first, but went directly to Wen Wan'er's room.

When Su Wuming entered Wen Wan'er's room, Wen Wan'er was waving a fan lightly, and when she saw her husband coming over sweating profusely, she felt a little pitiful in her heart, and said, "Xianggong, why are you sweating so much?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Lady, hurry up and bring the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, this time the minister has something to ask you." ”

Wen Wan'er looked puzzled and asked, "What does Xianggong want paper, ink, pen and inkstone for?" Although Wen Wan'er didn't understand, she still took out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone prepared in the bedroom, and after she took out these things, she saw Su Wuming take out a piece of paper from her body, there was a line of words on the paper, a line of handsome words, the words said that the falling flowers had danced before the style, and sent the dusk rain, this is the poppy beauty written by Su Wuming at the palace banquet, when Wen Wan'er saw this line of words, her face couldn't help but change: "This is that girl admires the Xianggong, so she wrote it to the Xianggong?" ”

Su Wuming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Wen Wan'er say such a sentence, but he soon understood again, he didn't expect that the words he asked Qing'er to write at will would actually be misunderstood by his wife, so Su Wuming had to quickly explain, and after explaining, he said: "Xianggong, I'm going to arrest criminals, and the lady will imitate this handwriting later, and you can write whatever I say." ”

Wen Wan'er saw that the piece of paper was just a template for imitating handwriting, so her heart relaxed, and then according to what Su Wuming said, she began to imitate handwriting, so after more than half an hour, she finally wrote a letter that Su Wuming was satisfied with, but after she finished writing, she was slightly puzzled in her heart, and asked: "Xianggong, can you make that person take the bait with this letter?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Whether you can take the bait or not depends on whether that person really has something to do with Concubine Cao, if he really has anything to do with Concubine Cao, after seeing this letter, he will definitely take the bait." ”

After getting the letter, Su Wuming thought about it again, thinking that it might not be good to send the letter so rashly, after some thought, he put the envelope in his arms, and then found Hu Fei, if Hu Fei was asked to deliver the letter, it would be wonderful, at least that person wanted to investigate and couldn't find out how the letter got to his room.

After explaining to Hu Fei, Su Wuming went to the palace again, and after seeing the emperor, Su Wuming proposed to borrow some Qing'er, and the emperor Li Yan thought that Su Wuming had taken a fancy to Qing'er at first, and wanted to take it back to be small, but after listening to Su Wuming's explanation, he realized that he had misunderstood, and saw that Su Wuming was to solve the case, so he naturally agreed, and specially ordered that Qing'er should obey Su Wuming's order.

Su Wuming took Qing'er out of the palace and taught her some words, and then led him to the Jingshi Inn.

Jingshi Inn can be regarded as a very big inn in Chang'an City, and the guests come and go, which is just right for Su Wuming to carry out his own plans.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there were many guests in the Jingshi Inn, and among the many guests, there was a person whose face looked very ugly, and after he came in, he didn't pay attention to the inquiry of the shopkeeper, and went straight to the second floor Tianzi No. 1 room.

There was a woman sitting in the room, although she was not very old, but it could already be seen that in a few years, she must also be a beauty, the woman turned her back to the door, and after hearing the voice, she also turned around, just showing a light smile: "Lord Linghu is here?" ”

The person who came was Ling Hugu, after returning home from Dali Temple today, Linghu Gu saw the letter on the table, he asked his wife, saying that it was sent by an ordinary little guy, after reading the letter, Ling Hugu's heart sank, but he was still very rational at the time, he felt that it was very likely that someone wanted to frame him, but it was credible that there was evidence of his fornication with Concubine Cao, if he didn't go to the Jingshi Inn, then she would give the evidence to Su Wuming.

At the end of the letter was written - Concubine Cao's maid Qing'er.

Linghu Gu knew that Concubine Cao had a maid named Qing'er, and she was Concubine Cao's favorite maid, if Concubine Cao said something to Qing'er, then things might be a little bad, so although Ling Hugu was worried that this was a trap, he still came to the Jingshi Inn.

Ling Hugu looked at the woman's back, and did not rush to find out his own affairs, as a Dali Siqing, he was very clear about all kinds of negotiations, so before he figured out whether Qing'er had his own evidence, he would never reveal that he had something to do with Concubine Cao.

So at this time, Ling Hu Gu only smiled coldly: "Who are you, why did you ask me to come to this place?" ”

Qing'er smiled, then slowly turned around, she glanced at Linghu Gu, and said, "Lord Linghu, the little woman is Concubine Cao's maid, I wonder if Lord Linghu has heard of it?" ”

Ling Hugu glanced at Qing'er, it was indeed very similar to Concubine Cao's description, and he seemed to have seen her faintly in the palace, but at this time, he became more vigilant: "Since you are Concubine Cao's maid, you should be in the palace now, this official doesn't think that a maid can go out of the palace casually, you are clearly fake, say, you pretended to be Concubine Cao's maid and asked the official to come here, why?" ”

Ling Hu Gu is an old fox after all, even if he now knows that the woman in front of him is Concubine Cao's maid Qing'er, he is still full of vigilance, and he never admits that he has anything to do with Concubine Cao.
