Regarding the emperor's sudden reward for himself, Su Wuming was a little unexpected, it had been some time since he returned to Beijing from Qiantang County, and it was really strange to reward him at this time.

Of course, Su Wuming would not believe that the emperor gave him a reward, because he suddenly thought of it, if no one mentioned it, with the emperor's busy day, he would never have thought of a small Dali Temple.

This is not Su Ming's self-speculation, the emperor has to deal with the country's big and small affairs, but I am afraid that he is busier than all the people in the world, many people only see the emperor's scenery, but has anyone ever seen his hard work?

Of course, the mediocre emperor said otherwise.

After receiving the oracle, Su Wuming thanked Gonggong Xi and said, "Thank you Gonggong Xi for helping this official to speak well in front of the emperor." ”

Father-in-law Xi showed a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, but the emperor suddenly rewarded Master Su, but it was not the credit of the miscellaneous family, the emperor gave you a token to walk in the palace, do you know the intention?" ”

The walking token in the palace is a token that can be asked to enter the palace at will when necessary, and whether you can enter the palace depends on the emperor's will, otherwise if you can walk at will, then the palace will not become a decoration?

Su Wuming frowned slightly, then shook his head with a smile: "I don't know, please let my father-in-law make it clear." ”

"Master Su, in fact, the emperor's meaning is very simple, when you have nothing to do, go to the emperor to chat!"

"Chat?" Su Wuming was a little shocked, he could chat with anyone, but he just didn't want to chat with the emperor, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and it is said that trouble comes from the mouth, and the more you say to the emperor, the more dangerous it is.

And at this time, Su Wuming suddenly realized that the emperor asked him to enter the palace to chat, it was not so simple, the emperor met with the courtiers, and it should be about state affairs, how could it be chatting?

Su Wuming thought of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it seems that the emperor still knows about the fact that the people in Huhai are Su Wuming, but who revealed it to the emperor?

Is it Li Deyu, the most powerful Li today? Su Wuming shook his head, he thought it was unlikely, since Li Deyu hated himself, how could he tell the emperor about this and let the emperor reward him?

But if it wasn't Li Deyu, who would it be? The emperor is not easy to leave the palace, although he has a lot of spies, but those spies are all to listen to major events, a storyteller, the emperor will not use the spies in the palace.

Soon, Su Wuming thought of a possibility, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun, the two of them were people sent by the emperor to his side, if the two of them told the emperor about this, it would make sense.

Faintly, Su Wuming was sure that only the two of them could tell the emperor the news, but for no reason, how could the emperor let the two of them enter the palace? Since the emperor couldn't consider Su Wuming's return to Beijing, he naturally wouldn't think of recruiting the two former guards into the palace for questioning, before the emperor made this decision, something must have happened, but what was this?

Now that Su Wuming has been rewarded, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so entangled, no matter what, he has been rewarded, but Su Wuming feels that this is very dangerous, and Su Wuming doesn't like the feeling of looking around in danger.

At this time, the only person Su Wuming really offended was Li Deyu, if Li Deyu said something in front of the emperor...... Su Wuming suddenly figured it out, and after figuring it out, he showed a slight smile.

The sunshine on the spring afternoon was softer, and after the edict was issued, he left and returned to the palace, and the household secretary Chai Qi was unhappy, and now Su Wuming got such an edict, and he had to be cautious about pulling Su Wuming to Dali Temple.

With his identity as the head of the household, no matter what happened to Dali Temple, Linghu Gu must reprimand Su Wuming, but what about after the reprimand? If it was before, it would be nothing if Su Wuming had grievances and was difficult to redress, but now that Su Wuming has a token to walk in the palace, if he said something in front of the emperor when he went to see the emperor, it would not be easy to do, after all, Dali Temple handled the case, and it stands to reason that they have to cooperate.

At this time, Su Wuming put away the token walking in the palace, and then saluted Chai Qiwei and said: "Lord Cao only gave Xiaguan five days, so it is urgent to solve the case, and Xiaguan still has something to do, so he will leave." ”

Su Wuming is a very knowledgeable person, he knows that Chai Qi doesn't dare to take himself to Dali Temple casually, so he also gives Chai Qi a step down, and Chai Qi has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not understand what Su Wuming means, and secretly marveled at Su Wuming's emotional intelligence, Chai Qi said very majestically: "For the sake of you handling the case for Uncle Cao Guo, let you go today, go!" ”

When I left through the back door, there were not many people who came to see Chai Qi, and the reason was very simple, someone came to Chai Mansion to deliver the decree, and these people came with gifts again, isn't this looking for death?

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, Tang Xiong was very excited, and said: "Brother Su, I really didn't expect the emperor to reward you, what is the use of the token walking in the palace?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Walking in the palace, as the name suggests, is that you can walk around the palace, but the palace is very strict, even if you can walk around the palace, you must also get the emperor's consent, and with this token, if I want to enter the palace to face the saint, it will be much easier, at least the eunuchs in the palace will not be hindered for various reasons." ”

When Tang Xiong heard this, he didn't have much power, and he was a little unhappy, and said: "I thought this token was like Shang Fang's sword, seeing the token is like seeing the emperor, it turns out that it's not!" ”

Hearing Tang Xiong say this, Su Wuming laughed, and after laughing, he said: "I see that you have listened to the drama a lot, what Shang Fang sword is there, it is all played in the play, and what is like seeing the emperor is like seeing the emperor, it is only available on orders, and after finishing the matter, it must be taken back." ”

Tang Xiong sighed, and then stopped talking about these things, but led the topic to the murder case.

"Brother Su, although Chai Yunzhong is hateful, he looks quite infatuated, do you think he will be a murderer?"

Su Wuming thought for a while: "Judging from the current situation, this Chai Yunzhong has no motive to kill, although Cao Ying's escape from marriage will make him very angry, but this is discussed by the two Shangshu of this dynasty, I am afraid that more people already know, so even if Cao Ying does not want to marry Chai Yunzhong, but under the pressure of their parents, for the sake of their respective faces, Cao Ying is afraid that he will still marry Chai Yunzhong in the end, Chai Yunzhong is a smart person, he should be able to think of this, so it is really a bit unreasonable to kill for this purpose." ”

"If Chai Yunzhong is not the murderer, then this murder case is a little difficult to handle." Tang Xiong said, his face couldn't help but show a trace of worry, and since following Su Wuming, he also slowly began to learn to think.

Su Wuming saw Tang Xiong's appearance and said with a smile: "What's so difficult to do, now our investigation has just begun, if we don't do anything, it will naturally be difficult, but as long as we search carefully, we will definitely be able to find clues, let's go." ”

The two went straight to Dali Temple, because the people involved in this murder case are relatively special, so after having some clues and situations, Su Wuming needs to inform Ling Hugu of these clues and circumstances, Ling Hugu is the secretary of Dali Temple, he must have enough understanding of this murder, otherwise it will make him feel very unsafe.

After returning to Dali Temple, Su Wuming met Linghu Gu alone, and after talking about these things, he said: "The identity of the beggar Master Pei Xiu Pei has already sent someone to investigate, and if you only investigate the beggar, it will not involve Lord Cao, so Lord Linghu, should we also send someone to investigate, after all, our Dali Temple is much more clever than the officials of Fu Yin in terms of investigating people." ”

This is not that Su Wuming deliberately slapped Linghu Gu's sycophants, but the sentence is true, Dali Temple can be said to be at the forefront of the investigation of the suspicious case, there are many spies, and there is a lot of intelligence collected every day, if it is not because there are other responsibilities that are not quite the same as the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that Dali Temple is the Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty, of course, the Dali Temple of the Tang Dynasty is not as powerful as the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, nor is the reputation of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

Dali Temple belongs to the list of Jiuqing, all dynasties have, comparatively speaking, the reputation of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty is still the best in each dynasty, and the reason is very simple, because the Tang Dynasty Dali Temple has a few people who judge the case like a god, and these people later in the court also had a single side, such as Di Renjie during the Tang Zhongzong period, Di Renjie was in the field as a county commander at the beginning, and later entered the Dali Temple, because the case was like a god, appreciated by the Empress Wu, the Empress Wu ascended the throne as an enemy, but also named Di Renjie as the elder of the country, the power in the court, can not be described as small, therefore, Although Dali Temple has been in various dynasties, it can be remembered by future generations, but only Dali Temple of the Tang Dynasty.

After Su Wuming's words, Ling Hu Gu bowed slightly: "You are right, in terms of listening to the news, our Dali Temple is many times stronger than those officials, and I will order this matter." Speaking of this, Ling Hugu suddenly changed his words and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor rewarded you?" ”

Hearing Ling Hugu's words, Su Wuming was suddenly shocked, this incident had only happened for a long time, how could Ling Hugu know? Su Wuming glanced at Ling Hu Gu from the corner of his eye, Ling Hu Gu's expression was calm at this time, and there was only a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was really cunning like that.

Soon, Su Wuming found that he had really underestimated Ling Hugu before, and thought that it was just luck that he didn't rely on anyone to sit in the position of Dali Siqing, but now it seems that he can't sit down without relying on anyone to sit in the position of Dali Siqing, without a certain ability and scheming.

In the past year, Su Wuming has decided what case, Ling Hu Gu knows, and after knowing this, Ling Hu Gu naturally has to pay more attention to Su Wuming, or rather, take more precautions.

In the officialdom, the people who need to be guarded against are not only higher than their own official positions, but also those who are lower than their own official positions, and they must be guarded against.
