It's already this time, why did the emperor Xuansu enter the palace without a name?

The father-in-law who announced the decree looked eager, Su Wuming bowed his hand slightly, and then walked towards the palace.

He had come to the palace to solve a case before, so Su Wuming was still familiar with the palace, and after walking through the palace wall of the palm lamp, the father-in-law led him directly to the imperial study.

After getting the permission of the emperor Li Yan, Su Wuming walked in alone, when he walked in, Li Yan was still reviewing the chapters, but next to Li Yan, there was also a woman, a noble woman, that woman was dressed in jewelry, and at a glance she knew that she was not an ordinary palace maid.

After Su Wuming knelt down, Li Yan raised his head and glanced at it, and then said, "Calm down, Su Aiqing, do you know what happened to you here?" ”

Su Wuming shook his head: "I don't know, please also ask the Holy Lord." ”

"I heard you've been solving a murder recently?"

Su Wuming glanced up at the woman beside Li Yan, suddenly understood her identity, his heart sank slightly, and he hurriedly answered Li Yan's question: "Back to the saint, it is a murder case in Huizhen Temple in Chang'an City, a beggar and Cao Ying, the daughter of Lord Cao of the Ministry of Rites, were poisoned and died at the same time, and Weichen is stepping up the investigation." ”

When Su Wuming said this, the woman beside Li Yan turned slightly blue, and then said a little coquettishly: "Your Majesty, my sister is unjust, I must find ......out the murderer" Saying that, the woman actually cried, Li Yan patted her hands, and then looked at Su Wuming and said, "Can Su Aiqing hear Concubine Cao's words?" ”

Su Wuming nodded again and again: "Weichen understands, Weichen must solve the case as soon as possible." ”

Li Yan didn't care much about these trivial murders, but since his beloved concubine came, he had to ask Su Wuming to tell him the clues he had investigated, and after Su Wuming finished talking about these clues one by one, he suddenly asked Concubine Cao: "That beggar wants to enter Cao's Mansion, it may be Cao's old acquaintance, I wonder if Concubine Cao knows anything about that person?" ”

Concubine Cao didn't expect Su Wuming to dare to ask him in this place, she glanced at Li Yan, and saw that Li Yan was also very curious, so she finally had to suppress her anger and said: "How does Concubine Ben know who that beggar is, if Su Wuming has the ability, you might as well check it yourself." ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly, then stood aside and stopped talking, Li Yan saw that the murder case had been discussed, and immediately said to Concubine Cao: "Concubine Ai, go and rest, I still have something to talk to Su Wuming." ”

Concubine Cao was a little reluctant, originally she finally found an excuse to approach Li Yan, and thought that she could be lucky tonight, but after the emperor talked to Su Wuming, where would she think again?

When there were only two people left in the imperial study, Li Yan smiled at Na Su Wuming and said: "Concubine Cao's sister was killed, she was a little sad, and she spoke too directly to Su Aiqing, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

These words are very different from what an emperor should say, an emperor should be extremely majestic, and he will never speak with a slight show of weakness, Su Wuming was slightly startled, and then hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Concubine Cao's mood, Weichen can understand." ”

Li Yan nodded, and then with a hint of mystery, he suddenly asked, "I heard that you are the one who is scattered in the lake and the sea?" ”

Although he had already guessed that Li Yan knew his identity, Su Wuming still showed surprise and horror, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, that is also the last resort of Weichen, it is not easy to live in Chang'an, in order to make the family live better, Weichen wrote those things." ”

Li Yan laughed: "I don't mean to blame you, get up." ”

After Su Wuming got up, Li Yan continued: "The stories you wrote are very good, I appreciate them very much, if there are any new works in the future, you must send them to me to read first." ”

Su Wuming responded again and again, so the two discussed some of the characters and stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and so it was not until around the time of the child that Su Wuming went back.

In the land of the capital, there are many curfews, and whenever it is late at night, there will be forbidden troops patrolling back and forth at night, but since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the curfew is not very strict.

Su Wuming walked out of the palace gate, the street was already dark, holding the lantern given by a little eunuch when he came out, walking slowly like this, the street was very empty, so that Su Wuming couldn't help but have a little fear, his pace was getting faster and faster, and he walked louder and louder, and after walking like this for a while, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps in front of him.

The night was dark, and he couldn't see the faces of the people who came, Su Wuming's heart sank, and when he didn't know what to do, he heard a voice suddenly in front of him: "But Brother Su?" ”

It was Tang Xiong's name, Su Wuming was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted: "It's me, Brother Tang." ”

The two couldn't help but speed up their pace to meet together, Tang Xiong turned the lantern in Su Wuming's hand, and said with a smile: "The two sisters-in-law were a little worried when they saw that you had not returned for a long time, so they asked my old Tang to pick you up, but I didn't expect to receive it." ”

Su Wuming smiled, and then walked home together.

On the way, Tang Xiong asked some about Su Wuming's entry into the palace, so after speaking, the two were silent, and because Tang Xiong was by his side, Su Wuming's heart slowly calmed down, after calming down like this, thinking about today's things, he felt that it was not a bad thing, he was close to the emperor, and if anyone wanted to harm him, he had to be afraid, and if he had any ideas in the future, it would be easier to reach the heavens.

When I got home, the light in the bedroom was still on, and after Su Wuming entered the house, he found that Nangong Yan had fallen asleep, and Wen Wan'er was also drowsy lying on the table, but after hearing the door, she immediately woke up, and when she saw that it was Su Wuming, she immediately showed a smile on her face, and rushed into his arms desperately: "Xianggong, you are finally back, but you are worried about me." ”

The feeling of having a lady waiting at home is really indescribable.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun successively told the results of their investigation, and Jiang Ying investigated Chai Yunzhong.

"Lord Su, this Chai Yunzhong can be regarded as first-class regardless of appearance or talent, that Chai Yunzhong loves his son even more, this Chai Yunzhong has not done anything bad except for being arrogant, only one point, which makes the humble position feel very strange, this Chai Yunzhong is not in love with fireworks places such as Qinglou, nor does he intersect with other notorious sons, but he likes to listen to dramas very much, every few days, he has to go to the largest Qinxin Garden in Chang'an City to listen to the play, and every time he goes, it is a day, and he doesn't return until very late."

The children of the ancient family, it is normal to have some hobbies, Chai Yunzhong's family is good, he doesn't have to worry about his daily life, and it is not indispensable to go to the play, just stay for a day, it is a little strange, he is in it, is it really as simple as just listening to the play?

Su Wuming nodded slightly, and then asked Jiang Ying to continue the investigation.

Lin Yun investigated Cao Ying, she was the deceased, and it was quite difficult to investigate, but Lin Yun still found out some.

"This Cao Ying is the daughter of Lord Cao, but she is very rude, and she has a big temper, I heard that it is very bad for her subordinates, and the subordinates of Cao's Mansion are afraid of her, I heard that once this Miss Cao suddenly wanted to learn archery, so she asked her second brother to teach her, but who would have thought that she would just learn to draw a bow, and she would have to experiment, Master Su, guess how she experimented?"

Su Wuming couldn't cry or laugh a little, since Lin Yun wanted him to guess, then Cao Ying's test method must not be as simple as shooting targets, and according to Su Wuming's experience of watching TV in later generations, those young ladies were rude, and they all directly used people as targets, so at this time, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Could it be that real people are used as targets?" Did she shoot an apple or a pear? ”

Lin Yun grinned: "Master Su guessed half right, then Miss Cao did use people as targets, but it was not too big enough to use something as small as an apple or pear, he used a watermelon, a watermelon bigger than a human head, she asked the subordinates to tie the watermelon on their heads, and then practiced like this, at that time, those subordinates were frightened, and several heard that they were peeing their pants, and then Lord Cao came forward to say that she was messing around, so she stopped." ”

After listening to what Lin Yun said, Su Wuming bowed slightly, if Cao Ying is such a person, then there will not be many people who are willing to marry her, so what Chai Yunzhong said is still true?

It's hard to imagine that a man would be so infatuated with a woman who is rude, bad-tempered, and harsh to her subordinates.

If Chai Yunzhong knew about Cao Ying's things, would he have killed her in order not to marry her? Because he knows very well that if he wants not to marry Cao Ying, the only way to kill her is to kill her, both parents have already agreed on the family affairs, and both families have prominent backgrounds, so it is naturally impossible to do such a ridiculous thing as regretting marriage, and if one party really regrets the marriage, it will only offend the other party.

Comparatively, killing is more thorough, more direct, and more convenient.

It is necessary for Jiang Ying to continue to investigate Chai Yunzhong.

After thinking about it like this and digesting the situations that Lin Yun said, he nodded slightly and motioned for Lin Yun to continue.

"The adult also asked me to investigate whether Cao Ying had contact with other men, I investigated, yes, this Cao Ying is active, she can't stay at home at all, she often disguises herself as a man to wander around the street, once I met a scholar, the two of them somehow, they suddenly looked at each other, this Miss Cao is in front of the scholar, but there is no flying personality at all, every time we meet, we are very ladylike, I suspect, Miss Cao escaped marriage, it must be related to that scholar."

"What's the scholar's name?" Su Wuming felt that Lin Yun's analysis was very right, and he didn't feel too strange about Miss Cao's change, in the face of love, any change between men and women is possible.

Lin Yun shrugged: "That scholar's name is Fang Buyi, but it's a pity that when we went to look for him, he had already disappeared, and judging from the situation at his house, he shouldn't have been back for a long time." ”
