Chapter 287: Investigation
The excitement in the court has nothing to do with Su Wuming, he just needs to solve the case, and Su Wuming doesn't want to participate in the deception of those people in the court.
But there is one thing he didn't expect, that is, people in officialdom can't help themselves.
The court is a big dye vat, even if you are just a bystander, you may be affected by the dye in the dye vat, and at that time, it is not something you want to participate in.
After receiving the message that Gonggong Xi was willing, Su Wuming said some words of assurance in front of Gonggong Xi, such as promising to solve the case as much as possible, promising to let the talent contest continue, and so on.
Father-in-law Xi may not believe in other people's skills, but he believes in Su Wuming's words very much, because he has seen Su Wuming's skills.
Soon after Gonggong Xi left, Su Wuming immediately left for Dali Temple, Su Wuming believed that he received the will to solve the case, then other people in Dali Temple must also have received it, such as Di Bu.
Di Bu did receive it, but he didn't have Su Wuming's confidence, he only said as much as possible.
After the two met in Dali Temple, Su Wuming asked Di Bu if he had found that Zhou Zhou, yesterday Su Wuming went to Wanhualou and met Xiangxiang girl, although he had doubts about the identity of Xiangxiang girl, but it cannot be denied that he thought Xiangxiang girl was unlikely to be the murderer.
Killing people is not a joke, those who dare to kill in front of the public, in addition to having extremely strong psychological qualities, must also have a very deep strategy, and that day Xiangxiang girl toasted Sun Shicha, obviously not any strategy.
Of course, maybe that's just a stratagem.
However, now Su Wuming focuses on that Zhou Zhou, no matter what, that Zhou Zhou's suspicion is great.
But things are not as simple as Su Wuming thought, because Di Bu didn't find that Zhou Zhou, Chang'an City is very large, with a population of several million, and it is not easy to find a person named Zhou Zhou among these millions of people.
There is no doubt about this, like them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find Zhou Zhou even if I look for a month.
However, Su Wuming had a way, after he listened to the situation described by Di Bu, he ordered someone to get a few portraits of Zhou Zhou, which was not difficult for the personnel of Dali Temple, and after getting a few portraits of Zhou Zhou, Su Wuming applied to close the gate of Chang'an City, leaving only one gate for people to enter and exit.
Then, send people to look for Zhou Zhou in Chang'an City, in addition, post a reward notice in the city, whoever can provide the traces of the portrait of the person, reward ten taels of silver, whoever can catch this person, reward one hundred taels of silver.
One hundred taels is a very powerful temptation for many people in Chang'an City, but Su Wuming's real purpose in doing this is not to catch Zhou Zhou, he just wants to force Zhou Zhou.
Chang'an City is too big, even if this method is used, it will take a lot of time to find Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou can be forced to hurry, as long as half a day.
And after such an order, Su Wuming sent people to ambush at the city gate, that Zhou Zhou knew his situation very well, staying in Chang'an City was very dangerous for him, so if he wanted to ensure his safety, he had to leave Chang'an City, Chang'an City was so big, the world was so big, there were too many places he could go.
Only Chang'an is not safe.
And Su Wuming set a trap for Zhou Zhou at the only exit from Chang'an.
The twilight of spring is almost over, and Chang'an at this time can already smell the cicadas, but the weather is not very hot, and this season is still very comfortable for people.
If you have nothing to do, you can also go to the suburbs to see this last spring scene.
Su Wuming and Di Bu really came to the suburbs, the suburbs of Chang'an, the trees are shady, and the cicadas are more noisy, but this qiē is quiet.
And in this peaceful scenery, Di Bu suddenly asked a very strange question, at least, it was a very strange question for Su Wuming.
Su Wuming and Di Bu sat down under a big tree, under which there was green grass, small white flowers that exuded fragrance, and of course, there were insects that slowly crawled out after being stung, but this qiē could no longer arouse Su Wuming's interest after Di Bu asked that question.
"Master Su's intelligence is unmatched, and I think I have some understanding of the current trend, and Lord Su must also know about the things in the court today, right?"
Hearing Di Bu suddenly ask such a sentence, Su Wuming, who had always spoken casually in front of Di Bu, faintly began to be cautious.
Although Su Wuming didn't understand the intention of Di Bu's question at first, he knew very well that some words were unspeakable.
So at this time, Su Wuming smiled: "Master Di really praised Xiaguan, in fact, Xiaguan just likes to solve cases, and being able to make the case clear and innocent people can be innocent, this is the most meaningful thing I think." ”
Of course, what Su Wuming said is not false, solving the case to find out the murderer, and returning the innocent to innocence, these are all things that Su Wuming feels meaningful, but in life, there is always a sense of ambition, which is the so-called ambition, solving the case and returning the innocent to innocence, this is naturally an ambition, but this ambition is too small.
If Su Wuming traveled to the Song Dynasty, which gave people the feeling of wind and snow, he wouldn't mind being a happy detective, but the problem was that he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, which is a dynasty that makes people feel enthusiastic when they mention the name of this dynasty, although this is not the case after crossing over.
But those thoughts in his previous life were still deeply imprinted in Su Wuming's mind, he wanted to make a name for himself in this Tang Dynasty, even if he couldn't be famous through the ages, he must make a difference.
His period is no longer the Tang Dynasty, but there is still a faint hope in his heart, that is the next emperor Xuanzong Li Chen, he is a master of Zhongxing, Su Wuming believes that as long as he can have a good relationship with Li Chen, then in the more than ten years he has been in power, Su Wuming is very confident, he can make this Tang Dynasty, which has been declining, reproduce the glory of the year, even more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty.
Su Wuming knows very well that many things are not what you want, some things are unavoidable, but Su Wuming believes that things are man-made, in such a feudal society, as long as the supreme ruler is a good emperor with ambitions, then nothing is impossible.
It's a pity that Su Wuming hasn't seen this legendary character until now.
Di Bu sat next to Su Wuming, holding a small flower that he had just pinched in his hand, he put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, he didn't expect Su Wuming to think like this, but soon, he smiled indifferently: "Since Lord Su doesn't know about the affairs of the court, then the official will tell you about the affairs of the court this morning, with the wisdom of Lord Su, he should have a different opinion on the affairs of the court today." ”
Although Su Wuming was very surprised how Di Bu learned about the affairs of the court, but he did not speak, everyone has a way for everyone to inquire about the news, Di Bu is a person from Dali Temple, and there are people from Li Dang, and the affairs of the court must be more than he knows about the affairs of Dali Temple, although Su Wuming knows about the things in the court today, but he still listened to Di Bu say it again.
There are not many things in the court, but Di Bu focused on the three princes of King Di, Li Rong, King An, and Li Xin, and the reaction of these people was also clear, as if Di Bu went to the early court this morning, and he specially observed the expressions of these three princes.
Su Wuming still knows these three princes very well, these three princes are all the best in the royal family, if it weren't for Qiu Shiliang's eunuchs who supported the current emperor Li Yan to ascend the throne, then who is sitting on the throne now, maybe who is sitting on the throne.
Now that Di Bu is focusing on these princes, Su Wuming quickly understood, Di Bu is helping Li Deyu ask for a plan, Su Wuming is very clear, since ancient times, the emperor has been wary of all vassal kings, and in today's stormy Middle Tang Dynasty, even more so, those vassal kings have great strength, even if the emperor wants to cut the domain, he must think about it.
Li Deyu can be said to be Li Yan's most loyal supporter, he naturally wants to consider this matter of cutting the feudal domain for Li Yan, now that Su Wuming understands Di Bu's purpose, he is suddenly relieved, although these three princes are now powerful, and they also have many of their own people in the court, but if the wheel of history moves forward, the three of them will not be the emperor, so no matter what Su Wuming says, there is no problem at all.
After listening to Di Bu's words, Su Wuming showed a look of surprise, and then thought deeply about it, and finally spoke: "Those ministers of the court and the central government oppose the emperor's continuation of the talent competition, and there is some reason, such a grand event is the most likely to have problems, but the grand event has already started, if you give up halfway, it will only become the laughing stock in the history of my Tang Dynasty, so no matter what, this competition must continue, what you and I have to do now is to solve the case." ”
Although he knew very well in his heart that Di Bu wanted to know about the three princes, Su Wuming focused on the talent contest and solving the case, looking at what he meant, it seemed that he was not going to talk about the three princes at all, of course, Su Wuming knew that today he had to talk about the three princes, but he couldn't talk about the three princes as soon as he opened his mouth, he had to ask Di Bu that sentence before he could say it, otherwise he would have to make people suspicious.
Although he has a good relationship with Di Bu, Di Bu is a person who belongs to Li Deyu after all, above the court, many so-called relationships and feelings are unreliable, although Su Wuming is stepping into officialdom for the first time, but he knows many things no less than those politicians.
And after Di Bu saw that Su Wuming avoided the important and talked lightly, his brows suddenly condensed slightly, but he couldn't say anything about it, so he had to ask: "What about the princes, what do you think of Lord Su?" ”
