The heavy rain had no intention of stopping, and Su Wuming entered the palace in this heavy rain.

The enemy troops outside the city did not seem to expect such a heavy rain today, although it made them cool down a lot, but a heavy rain made their dwellings full of muddy water, and judging by the meaning of this heavy rain, it will not stop for a few days.

The rainy season in Chang'an is a bit untimely.

As the night wore on, a wild cat meowed and jumped into the garden, and after a few meows, the cat ran quickly to the eaves not far away.

The lights in the palace flickered, and many shadows were reflected in this stormy night, and after the cat ran under the eaves, it made a few happy meows, because under the eaves, there was a fish, a fish that had been half-eaten, but it was very fragrant.

After the wild cat pounced, he ate it, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from not far away, and the wild cat was a little alert when he heard the footsteps, but he didn't know if it was because the temptation of the food was too great, or he felt that the footsteps would not hurt it, so the wild cat did not run away, but continued to eat the fish.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was not until they came to the cat that they finally stopped, and the person who came bent down, and the light shone on her face, and it could be seen that she was a very beautiful woman, but in such a night, the beauty of this woman looked terrifying.

The corner of the woman's mouth showed a light smile, and she reached out to grab the wild cat's neck and picked him up, the wild cat meowed wildly, but she was powerless to struggle.

When the woman stood up again, there was an extra knife in her hand, a knife that was not very big, but extremely sharp, the woman carried the cat into the garden, at this time the rain did not stop, but the woman did not care, she came to the garden, pulled her hair, and then threw the wild cat on the ground, the wild cat rolled on the ground a few times, the whole body became full of mud, it stretched out its claws and wanted to escape, but it seemed to become powerless, it rolled in the mud, just could not escape, and the cry of pleading was drowned out by the rain, One qiē looked so pale.

The woman was not in a hurry to move, as if he admired the spirit of the wild cat's survival, she stood in the wind and rain and admired, until the wild cat gave up surging, the woman suddenly stepped on the cat, and then slowly squatted down, one by one to cut the cat's skin, she did it very carefully, as if she was afraid of scratching the cat's skin, or hurting the cat's flesh.

The cry of the wild cat gradually faded away, the woman's whole body was already soaked, her thin clothes became vague at this time, and the chest organs on her chest shook in the wind and rain, but she didn't care, all her attention was focused on the cat's body.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, and the woman was startled, and then she was about to leave the wild cat and run away, but when he got up, the entire garden had been surrounded by palace guards, and then from among those palace guards, a person came out, and this person was Su Wuming.

The wind and rain were clear, the palace lamps were swaying, and the woman's face showed panic for the first time, she kept retreating, and then she touched the vase, only to fall to the ground, and the woman retreated in the mud, much like the situation where the wild cat struggled before.

The two guards rushed away and subdued the woman, and when they came to the eaves, a eunuch stepped forward, and when he saw the woman, he was a little surprised: "Why are you?" ”

The eunuch is an old eunuch in the palace, and many people in the palace can be said to know him, and after the eunuch was surprised, he immediately said to Su Wuming: "Master Su, her name is Xiaohua, she is the palace maid in charge of the garden, and she is in charge of one or twenty people, she is very good at studying flowers, and the flowers she grows are always the largest and most colorful, but the miscellaneous family didn't expect that a cat peeler turned out to be her." ”

Su Wuming glanced at Xiaohua and asked coldly, "Now that you have been arrested, you will also confess the matter of killing Concubine Cao." ”

Xiaohua's clothes were already soaked, and she looked very graceful under the illumination of the palace lamp, and she smiled at Su Wuming: "The slave didn't kill Concubine Cao, and Master Su can't wronged the slave." ”

Su Wuming smiled coldly, and then gave a look to the two guards beside him, after the two guards understood, they immediately rushed into the garden, and then pulled out all the flowers in the garden, after Xiaohua saw the behavior of the two guards, she could bear it at first, but slowly, she suddenly shouted like crazy: "Stop, you all stop for me, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you......"

The guards rushed back, and Su Wuming looked at Xiaohua again: "You have a hatred for the people who destroy the garden, Concubine Cao used to laugh and even dance in the garden, and she must have destroyed a lot of your flowers, you want to kill her, don't you?" ”

Xiaohua was in a trance, and after Su Wuming asked that sentence, she suddenly shouted: "It's her who deserves to die, it's her who deserves to die......"

The night was getting deeper, the wind and rain were not stopping, and after Xiaohua slowly recovered her calm, Su Wuming asked her to tell everything again.

It turns out that Xiaohua has a love for flowers and trees that is beyond ordinary people, so she is very tired of someone destroying the flowers she planted, the palace is very large, so there are often wild cats running in, and those cats have their own habit of hiding feces, all Xiaohua often sees wild cats scratching and planing at the roots of flowers, sometimes they can't hurt the flowers, but more often, they kill the flowers, and when Xiaohua sees those flowers slowly withering, she will feel that those wild cats are like murderers, and she wants to make those wild cats pay.

So she took the leftover fish from the palace, smeared poison on them, and skinned the wild cats.

After the wild cat was skinned, she was usually buried directly in the garden, but when she was about to poison Concubine Cao, she gave a skinned wild cat to Cao Man, and at that time she just changed the plate when others didn't notice, and the stewed chicken was naturally eaten by her.

As for killing Concubine Cao, the method is also extremely simple, after Concubine Cao got the box of rouge that Linghu Gu gave her, she often saw things and thought about people in the garden, once Xiaohua found out, she quietly hid in the dark, and poisoned the rouge when Concubine Cao didn't pay attention, when Concubine Cao smeared rouge, she had to touch her lips, the poison was very poisonous, and it was possible to die if she touched a little.

After Xiaohua finished saying this, the murder case in the palace was completely over, the wind and rain outside were non-stop, Su Wuming couldn't help but sigh, there will always be one or two fools in the world, some people are, some people are crazy, and once a person is too obsessed with something, he will become sick.

After seeing Li Yan, Su Wuming told these things again, Li Yan nodded with satisfaction after listening to it, and now that the murderer in the palace has been found, he feels relieved, but he still has a little doubt, that is, how Su Wuming knew the murderer's motive for killing.

When Su Wuming heard Li Yan ask like this, he smiled and told him how he found this.

It turned out that after the rain today, Su Wuming listened to the conversation between the two ladies, and felt that the flower lovers were full of hatred for the people who destroyed the flowers, and then saw that the flowers in his garden were destroyed by the wind and rain, at that moment, he thought that Concubine Cao had been playing in the garden, and thought of the wild cat in the roots of the shavings.

For this reason, after Su Wuming entered the palace, he first asked who the two palace maids who were fighting in the garden that day, and then asked the reason for their fight, and later found out that it was not two palace maids fighting, but a palace maid teaching another palace maid, Su Wuming was in a hurry at the time, and he didn't know the inside story, and after asking, he learned that a palace maid accidentally stepped on a purple rose.

After Su Wuming asked these things clearly, he sent someone to secretly monitor the palace maid who taught people, and released a wild cat, he felt that if a person skinned a cat many times, it was inevitable that his heart would be a little perverted, so she was very likely to want to skin the wild cat when she saw it, although she didn't know if it would be successful, but Su Wuming still gave it a try.

And the end result was surprisingly perfect.

After Su Wuming said this, Li Yan nodded, and then said with a smile: "Su Aiqing has solved the murder case in the palace, I don't know what kind of reward I want, what do you want, just say it, as long as I can give it, I will definitely not be stingy." ”

Su Wuming was a little embarrassed for a while, and touched his head: "Weichen is the head of Dali Temple, and it is his duty to solve the case, so he really doesn't dare to take credit." ”

Li Yan smiled: "You haven't thought about what you want yet, okay, I owe you this willingness first, and when you think of it, come and ask me." ”

Su Wuming thanked him again and again, and at this time, Li Yan suddenly changed his words and turned to the matter of King Xin's rebellion.

"Su Aiqing, now that the forbidden army is in my hands, it is very easy to use, King Xin wants to attack the city, but I am afraid that there is no way at all, but if it continues to be so deadlocked, there is something wrong after all, do you have a way to quickly solve it and become a rebel?"

The danger of the war is very great, and Su Wuming naturally wants to end the war as soon as possible, but he is only talking about the art of war on paper, and he is really not proficient, but as a courtier, he should share his worries for the king, and after a few thoughts, he pulled Cao Man out.

"Your Majesty, there must be collusion between Cao Man and the rebels outside the city, we might as well come up with a trick to plan and introduce the enemy into our trap, of course, if the emperor thinks this method is inappropriate, you might as well wait a few more days, the enemy's grain and grass are now only afraid that they have been taken back by the generals at the border, the enemy's grain and grass are difficult to maintain, and the army's heart will be chaotic, and at that time we will kill the enemy again, it will be much easier, and it is even possible to surrender the enemy."

After Li Yan listened, he smiled and said, "The combination of the two is the best." ”
