The autumn rain was a bit long and didn't stop until after the evening.

When the rain stopped, the wind was still blowing, and it was cool, and the sky was dark.

Autumn faded, there was a light cloud in the sky, the light cloud drifted away with the wind, and a new moon appeared in the east.

Su Wuming stood in the courtyard after the rain and took a deep breath, then moved his muscles and bones, and after moving a few times, he found Tang Xiong and said, "Accompany me to the county office." ”

Tang Xiong was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Su, are you worried that Li Jingdao will believe that Qian Sheng's words?" ”

"Li Jingdao will definitely believe Qian Sheng's words, but this is not important, the important thing is that Li Jingdao came to Qiantang County, and I, as the director of Dali Temple, should go to see him."

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, the sparse streets seemed empty, a few children frolicking carefree, and the shouts of their parents could be heard in the distance.

When Su Wuming and Tang Xiong came to the county office, it was already very late, and as soon as they entered the county office, they found that the atmosphere of the county government was a little wrong, and there were two rows of guards standing in the county office, and these guards didn't need to look at it to know that they were people brought by Li Jingdao.

When these people saw Su Wuming, there was a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes, as if they felt that Su Wuming would not have good fruits to eat when he came here today. In addition, they also had an impulse to rush forward and detain Su Wuming and give it to Li Jingdao, but Su Wuming had Tang Xiong behind him, Tang Xiong was imposing, and although there were many guards, they didn't dare to act rashly.

Entering the living room, Li Jingdao and Qian Sheng were both inside, Qian Sheng had no sadness or joy on his body, and he didn't dare to have a little expression, because whether it was Li Jingdao or Su Wuming, he couldn't afford to offend, and since he couldn't afford to offend, he simply treated himself as a transparent person.

Li Jingdao sat in the center of the living room, there was a hint of indignation in his expression, and after seeing Su Wuming, he snorted lightly.

Su Wuming saluted Li Jingdao, and then said: "After learning that Lord Li came to Qiantang County, the lower officials came in a hurry, I don't know why Lord Li came to Qiantang County?" ”

Li Jingdao's face was slightly gloomy: "I don't do anything, just collect my nephew's body!" ”

Su Wuming was surprised: "Who is Lord Li's nephew, and how could he die?" ”

"You ......" Su Wuming's words made Li Jingdao very angry, but it also made Li Jingdao helpless, and after snorting coldly, he said: "This Lord Su doesn't have to take care of it, Lord Ben's private affairs will be taken care of, and the official will come to ask you, do you have a result in this suspicious case in Qiantang County?" ”

"Please forgive the official for being stupid, I don't know what kind of case Master Li is referring to?"

"It's the owner of the coffin shop who appealed that the coffin in his shop was stolen."

"Lord Li has known about this matter since he first came to Qiantang County, and it seems that Lord Li is very attentive to this mysterious case!"

The two of them said like this, one by one, neither of them could embarrass the other, and after a long time, Li Jingdao asked, "What is Master Su going to do about this mysterious case?" ”

"There are very few clues for the time being, the only thing we can do now is to look for clues, if Lord Li is interested in this case, he can stay and help investigate." Su Wuming knew that Li Jingdao wanted to use the coffin to make it difficult for him, so Su Wuming wanted to pull Li Jingdao into the water everywhere, so that even if the case dragged back, he had no way at all.

Li Jingdao also seemed to see Su Wuming's intentions, so after smiling lightly, he said: "Lord Ben is not interested in this kind of suspicious case, but this official, as an observer of Jiangnan, can't ignore it, I have long heard that Lord Su is like a god in judging the case, I don't know when I will be able to solve this coffin theft case?" ”

Su Wuming saw that Li Jingdao wanted to force himself to say a deadline, and then came to embarrass himself, he suddenly smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "Lord Li, as an observer of Jiangnan, can be concerned about a coffin theft case, this is really a blessing for the people of Qiantang County, in this Hangzhou, there will always be a few cases like this every day, big and small, Lord Li has also gone to ask, so that other assassins, county orders, etc., come to admire Lord Li's demeanor." ”

Although Su Wuming's words are flattering, even a fool can understand that he is ridiculing Li Jingdao, as an observer of Jiangnan, he doesn't care about those major events that are beneficial to people's livelihood, but he talks about the theft of a coffin, which is really ridiculous.

After listening to Su Wuming's words, Li Jingdao was full of anger, but he had nowhere to go, and after a long time, he snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, this case is very suspicious, you must investigate it as soon as possible, Lord Ben will live in this Qiantang County for the time being, which can be regarded as a supervisor and a supervision." ”

Now that Li Jingdao said this, it is already very good, and Su Wuming promised again and again: "Lord Li is really thinking about the people, and the lower officials must live up to Lord Li's trust and solve this case as soon as possible." ”

After saying this, Li Jingdao suppressed his anger, said a few more words to Su Wuming, and then led his subordinates directly to the post house in Qiantang County.

But after Li Jingdao left, Qian Sheng immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Master Su, this Lord Li is really difficult, it seems that we have to investigate the theft of this coffin as soon as possible." ”

Su Wuming glanced at Qian Sheng and said with a smile: "Yes, this Lord Li is indeed difficult, but Lord Qian is even more difficult than that Lord Li!" When Su Wuming said this, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made Qian Sheng's heart rush to deep fear, because he knew very well that since Su Wuming could say this, he must know that he was preparing to be against him, and he wanted to use this sentence to intimidate himself.

Qian Sheng's face changed a few times, and he said a lot of good things, for fear that Su Wuming would suddenly poison him; Qian Sheng's worries are not unreasonable, he has worked with Su Wuming for half a year, Su Wuming's ability is very clear to him, if Su Wuming wants to deal with him, he feels that he has no power to parry at all, just like today Li Jingdao suddenly sent someone to detain him.

It was already late when I left the county office, and the world was a little discolored at night. There are a few stars in the night sky, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that there will be no moonlight.

On the way home, Tang Xiong asked Su Wuming: "Brother Su, there are no clues about the theft of this coffin now, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle, and that Qian Sheng has obviously become a gang with Li Jingdao, Li Jingdao wants to harm us, then Qian Sheng will definitely not do his best to help." ”

Tang Xiong's words can be described as very insightful, but now there is no breakthrough in the coffin theft case, and Su Wuming can't solve the case even if he wants to.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was sunny, Su Wuming and the others got up and went to look for clues, but they only looked for a day, but they didn't find anything, and they searched aimlessly like this, I'm afraid there won't be any clues for a year.

This made Su Wuming and the others very angry, and it was also very strange, how could a coffin be stolen for no reason, and they couldn't find it, they couldn't even find a shadow, this was too abnormal, a coffin, no matter where it was placed, it was very conspicuous, how could it be impossible to find it?

They felt that they would not be able to continue this way, and that they would have to start in another direction, so that evening they gathered together to discuss where to investigate.

First of all, everyone expressed their opinions, Nangong Yan was the first to say: "I think, I don't know how much a coffin is, for ordinary people, they can still afford it, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they will use the money to buy it, not to steal, the reason why the thief stole it must be because he can't afford it, so I think we should investigate this matter from those who can't afford to buy a coffin." ”

After Nangong Yan finished speaking, Jiang Ying said: "What Mrs. said is that the poor can't afford to buy a coffin, and they want to bury their relatives, and it is normal to steal in the end, but there is a suspicion in this matter, the poor steal the coffin for burial, and they will be buried after all, but we have searched all the graves buried around Qiantang County, and there are no suspicious coffins, and the same is true for other coffins parked." ”

After Jiang Ying finished speaking, Nangong Yan wanted to speak and stopped, she knew very well that what Jiang Ying said made some sense, which was irrefutable.

At this time, Wen Wan'er said: "Could it be that after the thief stole the coffin, he didn't mean to bury it?" ”

"But if you don't bury it, what's the use of the thief asking for a coffin?" Faced with Wen Wan'er's possibility, Lin Yun immediately put forward his opinion.

Wen Wan'er smiled lightly: "Who said that the coffin must be used for burial, on the way from Luoyang, didn't we meet a thief who put a blade in the coffin and was ready to rob, if the thief wanted to use the coffin to smuggle something, or do something bad and not like being known by others, wouldn't it be wonderful to use the coffin as a cover-up?" ”

After all, Wen Wan'er was very thoughtful, and in the face of Lin Yun's rebuttal, she also immediately put forward a rebuttal, her rebuttal was very useful, at least it was possible to raise a possibility, but in this Qiantang County, will someone use a coffin to hide a blade?

This is a bit unrealistic, so the only thing that is possible is to use a coffin to hide something else.

At this time, Su Wuming suddenly thought of a very interesting story, and this story was somewhat related to him, because the protagonist of that story was also called Su Wuming, but that Su Wuming was not him, Su Wuming.

It was a story that happened during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, when Wu Zetian's daughter Princess Taiping's jewelry was stolen, but many guard officials were sent to look for it, but they couldn't find it.

After Su Wuming took over the matter, he ordered people to pay close attention to all the movements in Luoyang City, until one day a group of mourners carried the coffins out of the city, although the people who carried the coffins at that time cried badly, but it was not real, and the grave was also a little so-so, when Su Wuming found out about this, he immediately ordered people to surround those people, and after opening those coffins, he found that they were full of lost jewels of Princess Taiping.

Is the coffin theft case in Qiantang County a prelude to the theft of money?
