Since the sheepskin case was broken on the street that day, Su Wuming has eaten some in Dali Temple.

And if a person eats well and talks a lot with people, he will naturally have a deeper understanding of some things.

So a few days later, Su Wuming already knew all about the various forces and parties in Dali Temple.

Among them, Dali Temple Qing Linghu Gu and Dali Si Zhi Di Bu are not attached to any party, but Ling Hu Gu's fate is better than Di Bu, he is a son of the scholar family, and he has talent and learning, so the career in Dali Temple is very smooth, in just seven or eight years, he has done Dali Temple from Dali Temple Review, which can be described as a rare person in the Tang Dynasty who has been promoted quickly.

And Di Bu, because he was born in the Shu clan, and he refused to attach himself to Niu Zengru, who sought benefits for the Shu clan, so he has been a Dali straight man for more than ten years, but fortunately, Di Bu is only focused on judging cases for the people, so he doesn't care very much about this matter, and only occasionally vents.

In Dali Temple, except for Linghu Gu and Di Bu, other people are more or less attached, of course, those with small official positions want to be attached, and people may not be willing to accept them.

Among these people who are attached to Li Dangniu, the most important is Dali Temple Shaoqing Shen Tong and Han Pei, Dali Temple Shaoqing's position in Dali Temple is second only to Dali Temple, from the four products, specially assisted Dali Temple Qing to manage various affairs of Dali Temple, two people in Dali Temple can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand people.

Of course, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there are two Shaoqing in Dali Temple, so these two people will inevitably have some contradictions.

More importantly, Shen Tong belongs to the Li Party, while Han Pei belongs to the Niu Party, so the two of them have a lot of trouble, and the other people in Dali Temple have also formed gangs with these two people because of some circumstances.

Linghu Gu of Dali Temple has always liked Mingzhe to protect himself, so even if he knew that the two Dali Temple Shaoqing ganged up and formed a faction that was not conducive to Dali Temple's investigation of the case, he never said anything and let everything go.

After Su Wuming learned about the various situations in Dali Temple, he naturally tried his best to avoid too many conflicts with these people, and in addition to following the Di Bucha case every day, he chatted with other junior colleagues.

Because Su Wuming has no partisan views, rarely conflicts with others, and is extremely generous, over time, Su Wuming has gained some reputation among those juniors.

Unconsciously, Su Wuming has been in the capital for more than a month.

On this day, drinking with Tang Xiong at the inn, Su Wuming suddenly remembered the two wives at home, are they okay in Luoyang City?

Now that he has been in Dali Temple for a while, the two of them should already know the news, so are they still waiting at home for themselves to go back?

But now without an order from the court, he can't go back!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel more worried, so I drank another cup!

And just when the two were drinking, an errand officer from Dali Temple hurriedly came and said that something happened in the palace and asked Su Wuming to go to Dali Temple to discuss things quickly.

Su Wuming didn't dare to delay, put down the wine glass and rushed to Dali Temple with the officer.

At this time, it was already dusk, the sunset was not yet complete, Su Wuming entered Dali Temple, and immediately felt that the atmosphere was very strange and tense, he was just a Dali Temple commentator, so after coming in, he didn't dare to say much, only stood next to Di Bu.

After a while, Linghu Gu walked out of it, he glanced at everyone, and then said: "I called everyone here so late, because there was news in the palace just now, a palace maid was found dead in the back garden, and his death was very miserable, the emperor was very angry after learning about this, and specially ordered our Dali Temple to send someone to investigate the case as soon as possible. ”

After listening to Linghu Gu's words, everyone looked at each other and discussed a lot, but no one dared to step forward to take over this murder case, after all, the murder in the palace is no more than others, not to mention that the palace maid died in the palace, the person who killed her must be the person in the palace, and most of the people in the palace are not easy to offend, that is, whether this can be broken or not, you have to say it separately!

If it can be broken, it is naturally good, and it will inevitably be rewarded by the emperor at that time, but if it can't be broken, I am afraid that the person who took the case will be difficult to gain a foothold in Dali Temple.

Seeing that no one dared to answer, Ling Hu Gu frowned slightly, and asked again: "Who is willing to enter the palace to investigate this case?" ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and at this time, Di Bu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Lord Linghu, I am willing to go!" ”

Seeing Di Buken going, everyone was relieved, after all, if someone was willing to go, then Linghu Gu would not go by name, and they would be safe!

Linghu Gu bowed slightly: "Since Master Di is willing to go, it would be better, Lord Ben heard that Su Wuming under you is also quite capable, let him accompany you." ”

Di Bu hurriedly thanked him, and Su Wuming inevitably took a step forward to agree.

After making this decision, Ling Hugu immediately said: "The eunuchs in the palace are already waiting, if the two of you have nothing else to do, let's go into the palace with them immediately!" ”

The two answered, and the others dispersed, and at this time, a eunuch came out of it, he nodded slightly to Di Bu and Su Wuming, and then said in that kind of male duck voice: "Go with the miscellaneous family!" ”

Su Wuming made a gesture of invitation to Di Bu, and then followed.

Dali Temple is still some distance from the palace, so when a few of them entered the palace gate, the sky was already a little dark, the eunuch seemed to be very anxious, and after taking Di Bu and Su Wuming into the palace, he asked the two of them to wait outside the imperial study, and he went in to pass through.

After a short time, the eunuch came out of it and beckoned to Di Bu and the two, who did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the eunuch into the imperial study.

The imperial study is very large and majestic, the emperor Li Yan sat on the dragon chair, raised his eyes slightly to look at the two of them, and then took care of himself to turn over the music on the table, and asked while flipping through it: "Dali Temple sent the two of you to solve the case?" ”

Di Bu and Su Wuming hurriedly knelt down: "Back to the emperor, exactly!" ”

Li Yan bowed slightly: "Okay, the corpse is still in the back garden at this time, I have already ordered someone to take care of it, you go to investigate, tell Gonggong Feng what you need, he will only satisfy you." ”

Gonggong Feng was the eunuch who led them into the palace just now, and after listening to the emperor's words, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't be tired, don't be tired, rest early, the old slave will lead them to the scene of the murder." ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Feng got up slightly, gave Di Bu and Su Wuming a look, and then led them out of the imperial study.

Leaving the imperial study, the three of them went directly to the back garden.

Because it was the middle of spring at this time, many flowers were still open, and the fragrance was far away, and Su Wuming had just arrived at the door, and he smelled the fragrance of flowers.

The Imperial Garden was guarded by guards, but when they saw that it was Gonggong Feng, they immediately let them go, and Gonggong Feng led them to a gazebo in the Imperial Garden, then stopped, pointed to a place, and said: "The corpse is over there, it is a little unsightly, please take care of yourself, if you have any needs, just explain it to the miscellaneous family." ”

Di Bu bowed his hand slightly, and then led Su Wuming around the pavilion to the corpse, at this time it was getting late, and the moonlight was faint, so they could vaguely see the appearance of the corpse, and when they saw the corpse clearly, they couldn't help but gasp, because the corpse was really destroyed.

After ordering someone to bring a torch, Di Bu began to conduct an autopsy, and after looking up and down, he immediately got up, looked at Su Wuming and said: "The deceased is neatly dressed, I think he has not been violated, there are pinch marks on his neck, the back of his head was hit with a blunt object, and his brain almost burst out. ”

When Di Bu said this, Su Wuming also lowered his head and took a closer look at the corpse, and found that Di Bu's description was not much different, but there were some things, but it was not as Di Bu said, Su Wuming squatted down by the light of the torch and looked at it carefully, and found that the deceased had a pinch mark on his neck, his head was almost smashed with a blunt object, and his tongue was slightly outstretched, and he also held a hairpin in his hand, the hairpin style was simple, the workmanship was excellent, and it should be worth a lot of money, and a palace maid, unless her master rewarded, Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten this.

After reading it, Su Wuming got up and said: "What Master Di said is right, but it is not difficult to know the cause of the deceased's death, please see, my lord, the deceased's tongue sticks out, indicating that when she is killed, she must have difficulty breathing, and her lips are slightly opened, that is to say, when the murderer pinched her, the deceased has not yet lost his breath, so it makes some sense to hit the back of the head first, because if the murderer has already hit the deceased, just like the current situation, the deceased can still live, and why should the murderer strangle the dead again." ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, although he did not clearly point out that the deceased was strangled to death, it was already self-evident, but Di Bu listened to it and said: "Maybe the murderer did not strangle the deceased, and finally hit the deceased with a blunt object?" ”

Su Wuming shook his head: "This situation can't exist, Lord Di, please see, although the back of the deceased's head was hit, there was not a lot of bleeding, which means that when the murderer hit the back of the deceased's head, the deceased was already dead, and the blood on her body was no longer circulating, so even if the brain burst out, there was not much blood." ”

Di Bu looked carefully and found that the deceased's head was indeed as Su Wuming said, with little blood, but even if the deceased was strangled to death, they would have to wait until tomorrow to continue the investigation.

Su Wuming naturally agreed with this, after all, it was late and it was very inconvenient to investigate, and when Su Wuming agreed with Di Bu's proposal to investigate again tomorrow, he said something that made Di Bu very frightened.

"Master Di, after dawn tomorrow, my subordinates want to examine the whole body of the deceased, and even ...... Even the ** of the deceased! After Su Wuming finished speaking, the moonlight shone on the deceased's face through the shadow of the flower, and her face was already bloodless, pale and terrifying.
