When I left Chengfu, the night was really late, and only the footsteps of a few of them could be heard on the streets of Qiantang County.

The night breeze blew a little cool, and everyone didn't say a word, they didn't expect that the whole murder case would be like this.

I don't know how long it took, Nangong Yan suddenly asked, "Then Wu Jun and Zhou Tong have nothing to do with this murder?" ”

There were stars in the sky, Su Wuming glanced at the night sky, and then nodded: "The two of them really have nothing to do with this murder, then Wu Jun ran to the palace to ask, and Zhou Tong handed the wine to Cheng Feng to drink, and the official said that he had appeared near the broken temple on the day Fang Shi was killed, and he had a crush on Wang Yanran, these are all coincidences, it is these coincidences that make this originally simple murder case complicated, if there were no these coincidences, the murder would have been quite early, then Fang Shi and Sun Si would not have been killed." ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but sigh, there are many coincidences in the matter of time, which they are helpless.

After the murder of Cheng Feng was over, Wen Wan'er returned to her previous life, going to the store every day to see, and waiting for Su Wuming to pick her up in the evening, such a life was peaceful and peaceful, sometimes Wen Wan'er even thought, how good it would be if she could do this for the rest of her life?

But soon, Wen Wan'er abandoned this idea, because she knew very well that her father-in-law was a big husband, and he wanted to be a person who built up his career against the sky, how could she let him live a peaceful and peaceful life for the rest of his life?

Men are meant to make a difference, and if they become soldiers, they will fight on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud; If you are an official in the court, then you must care about the people of the world; If you are in Dali Temple, you must solve the world's suspicious cases, clear the wronged, and give Datang a clear mind.

When Wen Wan'er thought of this, she persuaded Su Wuming not to pick her up every day, she told Su Wuming, you are the head of Dali Temple, you have a lot of things to do every day, and you don't have to waste time for me.

After Su Wuming heard Wen Wan'er's words, he always smiled slightly, saying that he, the head of Dali Temple, is not very busy all the time, at least there is still time to pick up his wife home every evening, and finally, he will add that it is a happiness to be able to take his wife home.

For Su Wuming, a man's success is nothing more than two aspects, career and woman, career must test hard work, and women must be sincere, in terms of solving cases, Su Wuming has never slacked off, in terms of his own woman, he needs to be more attentive, and it is really a happy thing for him to take his wife home every day.

In the end, Wen Wan'er saw that Su Wuming could not be persuaded to do so, so she had no choice but to say more, but at this time, her heart was very warm.

The days passed peacefully, and the midsummer was over in a blink of an eye, but although it was the end of summer, the weather in Qiantang County was still sultry.

On this day, Su Wuming took Wen Wan'er home again, and the two walked halfway, when there was a sudden thunderstorm in the sky, and then it crackled and rained heavily, when the heavy rain came, mixed with strong winds, the two left the store without umbrellas, so they hurriedly ran to the nearby eaves.

The eaves are not very wide, when the two of them hid under the eaves, there was already a person standing there, the person was thin, dressed as a scholar, holding a package in his arms, it looked like a book, the scholar hid under the eaves and looked at the rain, his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't seem to notice the intrusion of Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er at all.

After Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er hid under the eaves, they only glanced at the scholar, after all, in this Qiantang County, there are more scholars like him, and Su Wuming is not very interested in such scholars.

The three of them stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain, I don't know how long it took, the rain still didn't stop, and it became bigger and bigger, Wen Wan'er stretched out her slender jade hand to catch the rain leaking from the eaves, she looked like a child, and when she retracted her hand, she sighed slightly: "I don't know when this rain will stop!" ”

Su Wuming didn't study the celestial phenomena, so he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and at this time, the scholar next to him suddenly spoke.

"The rain in Qiantang County at the end of summer is fierce, but it usually doesn't rain for long, and it is estimated that it will stop soon!"

The scholar's words were plain, calm, and seemed to know a lot about the climate change in Qiantang County, when he suddenly said such a sentence, Su Wuming suddenly became interested in him, so he turned his head to look at the scholar, the scholar's eyes were no longer blurred, but there was an indescribable feeling, but he was still looking at the rain on the street, and it was only at this time that Su Wuming found that this scholar was a little different, he did not give people a weak feeling like ordinary scholars, his expression was flat, slightly cold, as if he was full of worries, but this matter is incomprehensible.

After looking at it like this for a long time, I think this scholar is quite charming, and there is a trace of handsomeness.

Su Wuming smiled lightly and said, "In Xia Su Wuming, your Excellency is from Qiantang County?" ”

The scholar turned his head and glanced at Su Wuming, and then smiled slightly, his smile did not have a sense of flattery, so Su Wuming could be sure that he must have just come to Qiantang County and had not heard of his reputation, otherwise with his current reputation in Qiantang County, no matter who heard his name, he would be slightly surprised.

After the scholar laughed, he then turned his gaze to the front and said, "Xiaosheng Gu Nianbai, a native of Qiantang County, has just returned from Chang'an. ”

Hearing Gu Nianbai say that he had just come back from Chang'an, Su Wuming was slightly surprised, he was the one who solved the murder case of the palace maid in Chang'an, hadn't he heard of it? When Su Wuming thought like this, he suddenly laughed at himself, Chang'an is full of talents, and it is very prosperous, he just solved the murder of a palace maid, who would have heard of him, and the secret news in the palace is unlikely to spread to the people.

After thinking about it like this, Su Wuming smiled again and again and asked, "Is Brother Gu doing business in Chang'an?" ”

There were a lot of people who did business in the Tang Dynasty, but Su Wuming asked this not for this reason, but because he wanted to find something to say, from the first time he saw this scholar, he knew that this scholar was not in business. The scholar felt strange, so he wanted to find something to say so that he could get to know more about the scholar.

The corners of Gu Nianbai's mouth twitched slightly, smiled bitterly, and only spoke after a long time: "Where is a scholar like me who is the material for business, I just went to Chang'an to take the exam, I took the exam for three years in a row, and all of them landed, and I had no face to return to my hometown, but I couldn't survive in a different place, and I came back in the end." ”

Gu Nianbai's words were full of loneliness and loneliness, Su Wuming looked at him, and finally understood why this scholar had a misty look in his eyes, why he gave people a strange feeling, it turned out that he was the same as himself, he didn't even pass the exam three times, and he had a feeling that he didn't meet a talent in his heart.

Seeing Gu Nianbai's expression silent, Su Wuming wanted to step forward and say a few words of comfort, after all, in the world of life, it is not the way to take the imperial examination, if he likes it, there are many things he can do, but just when Su Wuming was about to step forward to speak, the scholar suddenly took a step forward, and then turned to Su Wuming and said, "The rain has stopped, goodbye!" ”

After Gu Nianbai finished speaking, he took a step and ran towards the street, and soon disappeared behind the hazy rain with a slight cloud of smoke.

Su Wuming looked at Gu Nianbai's disappearing back, shrugged his shoulders slightly melancholy, and then smiled lightly: "Is there a fate to see you again?" ”

Wen Wan'er also felt that Gu Nianbai was quite strange, but after Gu Nianbai left, she was not as melancholy as Su Wuming, and after pulling Su Wuming's sleeve, she said, "Xianggong, now that the rain has stopped, let's go back quickly, shall we?" ”

Su Wuming nodded, took Wen Wan'er's hand and left, and at this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the street.

Ever since he met Gu Nianbai that day, Su Wuming would always inadvertently think of the sorrow between his eyebrows, he felt that if Gu Nianbai couldn't figure out some things, he might fall into this kind of sorrow and couldn't extricate himself, but he didn't know where Gu Nianbai lived, and he didn't even know how to persuade him.

thought that the two of them might never cross paths again, but half a month later, in the evening, Su Wuming suddenly saw him again.

At that time, the summer was coming to an end, although the temperature was a little high, but the wind was blowing and it was cool, that day Su Wuming was eating with Wen Wan'er and a few of them at the inn, at that time, Gu Nianbai entered the inn with a friend, his friend was gorgeously dressed and wore a lot of jewelry, he knew that he was a rich man at a glance, and Gu Nianbai and that person stood aside, the contrast was very big.

When Gu Nianbai walked into the inn with the man, Gu Nianbai suddenly looked up and saw Su Wuming, and at this time, Su Wuming was looking up at him, the two looked at each other, they were surprised, and a little embarrassed, but soon, Su Wuming smiled at Gu Nianbai, and Gu Nianbai also smiled again and again, and then walked slowly and saluted, and said: "I didn't know the identity of Master Su before, I was offended, and I asked Haihan." ”

When Gu Nianbai said such a thing, thinking that he had already heard about his affairs in Qiantang County, Su Wuming smiled slightly and said, "How can Brother Gu make a living now?" ”

Gu Nianbai said that he didn't dare again and again, and then replied: "Xiaosheng has no skills, and he is not the material for doing business, so he opened a private school in Qiantang County, thinking of teaching a few students to eat together." ”

As soon as Gu Nianbai said these words, the friend who came with him had already come over with a smile, and after the man came, he hurriedly saluted Su Wuming, and then said: "Cao Geng, the grass people, have admired Master Su for a long time, and it is really a blessing to meet him today!" ”

For the flattery of others, Su Wuming has always disliked to think highly of himself, so he repeatedly expressed his modesty, and at this time, Gu Nianbai smiled and said: "Brother Cao and I have been friends since childhood, and after I returned to Qiantang County, he also helped me run a private school." ”

At this time, Gu Nianbai seemed to have gotten rid of the unpleasant shadow of Luodi, and he always smiled inadvertently when he spoke.
