The beautiful scenery of flowers, pavilions and water pavilions, coupled with a song of Li Bai's Sauvignon Blanc, an amorous handsome boy appeared in front of everyone.

From a distance, the man seemed to be in the painting.

It's just a pity that Su Wuming is a man, and he is not very interested in this kind of scene, so at this time, he did a very unsightly thing, he walked into the Tingfang Water Pavilion, and then sat down straight, looked at the infatuated man leaning on the railing, and suddenly said: "Chai Gongzi!" ”

Chai Yunzhong frowned slightly, glanced at Su Wuming, and said, "Dali Temple's Si Zhi Su is nameless?" ”

"It's down there!"

"What are you looking for?"

Su Wuming smiled indifferently: "This adult is in Dali Temple, and he came to find Chai Gongzi naturally because there is a case related to Chai Gongzi!" ”

"Something to do with me?" Chai Yunzhong was taken aback, as the son of the Hubu Shangshu, he had a noble status, but even so, he didn't want to be involved in any case.

Su Wuming nodded: "Exactly, this morning, there was a murder in Huizhen Temple in Chang'an City, and one of the deceased was Cao Ying, the daughter of Lord Cao Mancao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and also the fiancée who was engaged to Chai Gongzi but had not yet married. ”

This was said very calmly, but when Chai Yunzhong heard this, he suddenly jumped down from the railing, and flew to Su Wuming, and reached out to grab Su Wuming's collar, looking at his appearance, as if he was going to grab Su Wuming and question, but at this time, a person suddenly stopped between the two of them, and suddenly stretched out a hand to grab the menacing Chai Yunzhong.

The person who stopped in the middle was Tang Xiong, who easily caught Chai Yunzhong, the man who was in Cao Man's mouth in Chinese.

Chai Yunzhong was suddenly furious, glared at Su Wuming and asked, "What did you just say?" You said Cao Ying is dead, how is this possible? We are married, she is about to become my wife, how can she die, no, she will definitely not die. ”

At this time, Chai Yunzhong was a little excited, he didn't seem to believe what Su Wuming said just now, Su Wuming asked Tang Xiong to put him down, and then said: "Lord Ben has no need at all, and in addition to telling you the news today, Lord Ben will take over this murder case, so I hope that Master Chai can cooperate." ”

Chai Yunzhong couldn't calm down for a long time, and Su Wuming asked on the side: "Looking at the way Chai Gongzi looked just now, he must like Cao Ying very much, I don't know what Chai Gongzi thinks about this murder?" ”

Chai Yunzhong stared at Su Wuming with his eyebrows, he didn't answer Su Wuming's question, but just asked, "How did Cao Ying die?" How did she end up in Huizhen Temple? I remember that Huizhen Temple was nothing more than a ruined temple! ”

"It's not a secret, Miss Cao died of poisoning, and the reason why Miss Cao was in Huizhen Temple was because she didn't agree to the marriage arranged by Cao Guozhang, she wanted to escape the marriage, and she had nowhere to go in the middle of the night, so she lived in Huizhen Temple."

"You are talking nonsense, Cao Ying will definitely not want to marry me." Chai Yunzhong was even more angry, but after what happened just now, he didn't dare to do anything to Su Wuming anymore.

"Chai Gongzi, Lord Ben is here to investigate the murder, so I ask Chai Gongzi to cooperate."

I don't know how long it took, Chai Yunzhong slowly calmed down, and after he calmed down, he glanced at Su Wuming, and then smiled coldly: "I don't have any opinion on this case, and I don't know who will kill Cao Ying, looking for the murderer is your Dali Temple's business, if there is nothing to do, please go back to Lord Su, I am tired and want to rest." ”

It didn't seem that he could get any clues from Chai Yunzhong, but Su Wuming refused to stop there, he didn't get up and leave, but continued to ask: "Chai Gongzi, have you met with Miss Cao Ying?" ”

Chai Yunzhong was obviously very angry, but finally replied: "Yes, we met when we were very young, and since then, I have developed a love for her, so over the years, I have asked my father to reject many people's proposals, in order to be with Cao Ying, but she ...... Why did she choose to run away from marriage? ”

Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for women to run away from marriage, and there are many reasons why they run away from marriage, some are already sweethearted, some are dissatisfied with the partner their parents are looking for, and some are afraid of it.

Judging from the current situation, most of the reasons why Cao Ying ran away from marriage was because she had a sweetheart.

But he couldn't say this, Su Wuming groaned slightly, and said, "In the past few years, Chai Gongzi hasn't done anything in front of Miss Cao Ying that disgusts her, right?" ”

Chai Yunzhong frowned slightly: "My son has a graceful demeanor, how can he do something disgusting?" Besides, since we met Miss Cao Ying a few times when we were children, the two of us have not seen each other again. ”

Listening to Chai Yunzhong's words, Su Wuming was very disapproving, he was a long person, but the things that were offensive he had been doing, such as the current arrogance and indifference to people, these are all things that may make him lose his demeanor in front of girls.

But now that he is in Chai Mansion, Su Wuming doesn't want to bring these things up, he smiled faintly and asked, "So what was the relationship between the two when they were young?" ”

"At that time, my father and Lord Cao were only four or five petty officials, and they came and went very frequently, I was two years older than Cao Ying, every time I went to her house, she always stuck to me to play, in front of her, I was like an adult, and from that moment on, I decided to use my life to protect her, but ......"

As he spoke, Chai Yunzhong was already a little speechless, and Su Wuming was a little moved, although this Chai eldest son was a little arrogant, but in terms of love, he was serious and touching.

As long as a person has something desirable, then he has the meaning of surviving in this world, Su Wuming sighed slightly, and then got up to leave, he didn't come today to ask, he just came to understand some of the situation, and now that he understands, it is naturally time to leave.

But just as Su Wuming was about to leave, suddenly a group of guards surrounded Tingfang Water Pavilion, and then a voice suddenly came: "Tie up these two bold people for me." ”

The guards rushed up, and they wanted to make a move on Su Wuming and Tang Xiong, and at this time, Chai Yunzhong shouted Dad in some surprise.

Su Wuming looked for prestige and saw a man about fifty years old, the man was slightly fat, with a majestic bearing, his face was full of anger at this time, and his eyes were even more round.

Su Wuming was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the man, "Lord Chai, why are you so excited?" ”

Chai Qi snorted coldly: "Okay, you are Su Wuming, a small Dali Temple Sizhi, you dare to hurt my Chai Mansion guard, and you also came to question my son, who gave you such courage?" ”

Su Wuming was taken aback, when did he injure the doorman of Chaifu, but it was just to scare him.

Officials in the world always like to reverse black and white, Su Wuming knew that he was speechless, so he had to say: "Lord Chai, the lower officials came here to investigate the murder case, and they did everything according to the rules, so Lord Chai wanted to arrest the officials, it seems a little unreasonable, right?" ”

At this time, Su Wuming really understood that Chang'an City was a place where powerful people gathered, and a little carelessness might offend many people.

"Hmph, what's the rule? Do you need to hurt my guards to do what you do, and do you need to threaten them that if they don't let you in, they will do it at their own peril? Lord Ben has to tie you up today and escort you to Dali Temple, so that Linghu Gu can see, is this how his people handle the case? I don't take my head as a household book. ”

It seems that this Chai Qi is really ready to trouble him today, Su Wuming shrugged helplessly, and at this time, Tang Xiong took the lead, looked at those guards and said coldly: "If you want to arrest me Brother Su, pass me first!" ”

Seeing this, Chai Qi suddenly said angrily: "Okay, you are Su Wuming, so bold, can you resist in my Chai Mansion?" ”

Su Wuming frowned slightly, if they really did it in Chai Mansion, the consequences would be unimaginable, so at this time, Su Wuming hurriedly stopped: "Brother Tang, don't be rude." ”

After speaking, Tang Xiong was very angry and helpless and restrained his hands.

Chai Qi snorted coldly, and was about to order someone to escort them to Dali Temple for questioning, but at this time, someone suddenly came to report that the holy decree had arrived.

At this time, the sudden arrival of the holy decree really surprised Chai Qi, so he didn't care about escorting Su Wuming and Tang Xiong, and hurriedly led someone to greet them.

It was Gonggong Xi who came to pass the decree, and Gonggong Xi was very unaccustomed to these ministers because he was from the eunuch group, so after coming in, he didn't give Chai Qi a good face, and after seeing him, he asked very directly: "Lord Chai, I heard that Lord Su of Dali Temple is here?" ”

Chai Qi responded again and again: "Then Su Wuming is indeed in my house, but I don't know what Father-in-law Xi is looking for him to do?" ”

"The miscellaneous family is here to announce the decree to him, what do you say the miscellaneous family is looking for him!"

Everyone was shocked, but Chai Qi was a little angry, thinking to himself, you are a dead eunuch, what are you doing to Su Wuming to come to my Chai Mansion?

In fact, this really can't be blamed on the father-in-law, he went to the Su Mansion to announce the decree by the emperor, but was told that Su Wuming went to the house of the Lord of the Household Department, and the oracle was not as good as the holy decree, he had to see himself to say it, because he didn't want to wait in the Su Mansion, so he came directly.

After ordering Su Wuming and Tang Xiong to be invited to the living room, Gonggong Xi immediately preached: "The emperor decreed that Su Wuming had made meritorious contributions to solving the case in the Jianghuai area, and he would be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold and a walking token in the palace." ”

After the happy father-in-law finished speaking, Su Wuming hurriedly thanked him, and at this time, Chai Qi's face was extremely ugly, of course, he was not envious of the golden hundred taels, he was envious of the token walking in the palace, the token, he had been an official in the court for many years, and the official and the head of the household department did not have it, but a Si Zhi of Dali Temple was given by the emperor.

It's infuriating, and it doesn't make sense.
