The night in late spring is calm, calm as if there is no ripple on the surface of the lake.

After Su Wuming left the palace, he immediately rushed back to the palace, and now the emperor handed over the matter of investigating the grain and grass deduction in the border pass to him, then he must investigate this matter clearly, not only because of the emperor's order, but also for the Tang Dynasty and himself.

The lights were still on at home, Su Wuming knew that it was Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan waiting for him, Su Wuming suddenly felt a burst of guilt, he has been very busy these days, he has rarely been warm with his wife, and tonight, I'm afraid it won't work.

The door creaked open, Wen Wan'er walked out, and when she saw Su Wuming walking towards the study, her heart couldn't help but feel sour, but she still held back her tears and shouted, "Xianggong, aren't you resting?" ”

Su Wuming turned around and said, "I have something important, you go to sleep first!" ”

Wen Wan'er hesitated a little and said, "Xianggong...... Do you want to have a late-night snack? ”

Su Wuming was stunned for some reason, and then nodded: "I'll take it to the study later!" ”

Entering the study, Su Wuming cleaned up the table, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote on it, and after writing, he sealed it all, and then, Su Wuming began to think about what to do next.

Emperor Li Yan handed over this matter to him, this matter can indeed be made with great fanfare, and with the emperor's order, he has a lot of power in his hands, and the household and military departments can intervene, but if this is the case, will it make those people have defense?

Su Wuming smiled faintly, it is not difficult to see from the fact that those people sent assassins to assassinate Gao Chen and Ma Dai that they had already taken precautions, and the relationship between Gao Chen and Ma Dai and themselves, they must have investigated it clearly, so that no matter whether they were high-profile or low-key, those people would guard against themselves.

If that's the case, it's nothing to be high-profile, Su Wuming held his chin and thought about it, and finally shook his head, he felt that this matter would definitely not be simple, since someone wanted to rebel, there must be a prince behind him, if he made a rash move, there would be more people to offend, of course, offending people Su Wuming is not afraid, but the key is whether the emperor has the ability to protect him Su Wuming is thoughtful?

Moreover, the prince doesn't know who it is, if he makes a rash move, then the prince may do something, if he reveals his wolf ambitions, it's fine, but if he doesn't show it, he finds that the signs are not good, and hides it back, then it's not easy to do, for the entire Tang Dynasty, it's tantamount to raising tigers.

After thinking about it like this, he felt that it was better to investigate secretly, and if he investigated secretly, Hu Fei's help would be indispensable, of course, he could make a request to the emperor, hoping to borrow the secret agent of Ouchi.

From the moment Su Wuming entered the officialdom, he had already learned that there were Ouchi agents in the palace, and the Ouchi agents in the palace were the royal family's own secret agents, the number was not large, only thirty-six people, these thirty-six people were responsible for helping the emperor find out the news and protect the emperor, although there were only thirty-six Ouchi secret agents, but their martial arts and skills were definitely beyond everyone's imagination, and it was precisely because of these thirty-six people that those who wanted to plot against the emperor to assassinate him would be stagnant.

It's just that Su Wuming is very worried that he won't be able to borrow it, because as far as Su Wuming knows, those thirty-six people only obey the emperor's orders, and the emperor's safety depends on the thirty-six of them, so the emperor may not be willing to borrow.

Therefore, a qiē can only rely on luck.

Su Wuming thought about it like this, and thought of the fact that Li Yan left Gao Chen and Ma Dai behind when he left the palace, in fact, this matter had already been thought of after he left the palace, so he wrote a letter after returning to the study, but the current situation is how he should deliver this letter to Gao Chen and Ma Dai.

The night outside the window gradually softened, Su Wuming left the study with the letter, he knocked on the door of Lin Yun and Jiang Ying, how to hand over the letter to the two of them, and said: "You hurry out of the city, hand over this letter to Gao Chen and Ma Dai, after handing over the letter to them, you don't have to rush back, follow them all the way to the border pass, and then come back after ensuring their safety." ”

When Jiang Ying and Lin Yun heard this, they immediately understood, since the gang would assassinate Gao Chen and Ma Dai tonight, then they would definitely not give up, but what they didn't know was that Su Wuming knew that they were out of the city?

Su Wuming didn't know that they were out of the city, but Su Wuming speculated that the emperor left them because he wanted them to go back and talk to the generals at the border pass, let them know that the emperor valued them, and let them be loyal to the emperor.

After Jiang Ying and Lin Yun packed up their things, they chased them out overnight, and it was not until this time that Su Wuming felt relaxed, and as soon as he entered the study, he saw Wen Wan'er sitting inside, and on the table in the study, there was a plate of pastries, under the light, Wen Wan'er's face looked a little hazy, but this haze made Wen Wan'er so beautiful that Su Wuming at this time ignored the storage of pastries, and now he just wanted to eat Wen Wan'er.

The night passed unpeacefully.

The next day, the last game of the talent contest began, but the place of this competition was not Le Fang, but the government of Chang'an City, on the same day, several judges took Su Wuming and Chen Fan into the government of Chang'an City, this place Su Wuming has been here a few times, so there is no feeling, after everyone came to the government office, one of the judges gave Pei Xiu an order, Pei Xiu nodded, and then went down, and after Pei Xiu left, Chen Xin said: "This competition may be the last competition between the two of you, this time, I will ask Master Pei to select two pending cases for the two of them to solve, who breaks well and breaks wonderfully, who is the winner, and who is the first genius of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After Chen Xin finished speaking, Pei Xiu walked in with a few people, and after Pei Xiu saluted the judges, he immediately introduced: "Here are two murders reported yesterday, one of them is like this, the city gate guard Ah Jia and the city gate guard Erlong drank together yesterday, but when drinking, Ah Jia suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, and soon died. Another murder case, is like this, Hu Wei was fine during the day yesterday, but after returning home at night, he suddenly died violently, and the only person at home at that time was his wife Hu Wangshi, so the official arrested Hu Wangshi, we also asked a lot of confessions here, and also investigated a lot of clues, you can come to ask later. ”

After Pei Xiu finished talking about the two murders, Chen Xin looked at Su Wuming and Chen Fan and said: "These two murders, the two of you can choose one, it may be difficult and easy to do, but as long as you can solve the case, we will naturally have a way to distinguish the winner from the loser." ”

After Chen Xin finished speaking, Su Wuming bowed his hand to Chen Fanwei and said: "Born in Xia Dali Temple, solving the case is a strong point, so please choose it first!" ”

Among the two murders, the murder of Ah Jia should seem easier, after all, Ah Jia was convulsed, and after the official brought the body just now, both of them also took a look, and there were obvious symptoms of poisoning.

Chen Fan saw that Su Wuming asked him to choose first, so he bowed his hand slightly and said: "Since Master Su has the heart to give in, then you are not welcome to go down, let's investigate this Ajia murder case in the next place!" ”

Su Wuming made a gesture of please, and then walked to Hu Wei's corpse, he carefully examined Hu Wei's corpse, and found no signs of poisoning in order to find any external injuries, but he found that the deceased had a faint smell of alcohol, and the deceased's eyes were prominent, and his face was hideous, which was very terrifying.

After reading it like this, Su Wuming asked the official for the file, and then read it carefully, after reading it, he found that the situation was like this, Hu Wang's family was frivolous, according to the investigation of the officer, she laughed with the men around her, and in addition, the official also found a secret door in the backyard of her house, the secret door led directly to their neighbor Wu San's house, and the official also arrested Wu San, thinking that the two of them had fornication, and murdered Hu Wei for this.

However, Wu San and Hu Wang both said that they didn't know about the secret door in the backyard, and Wu San even beat him up, saying that Hu Wei must have wanted to steal his things, so he made a secret door.

The officials ordered the corpses to be examined, but no signs of murder were found, and no particularly useful clues were given to Wu San and Hu Wangshi to prove that they were murderers.

In addition, according to Hu Wang's confession, the husband and wife have a good relationship.

After Su Wuming read this, he asked to see Hu Wang's family, and the official led Hu Wang's family up after receiving the order, Hu Wang's family looked handsome, and it really gave people a sense of frivolity, but Su Wuming is not a person who judges people by their appearance, so after seeing Hu Wang's family, Su Wuming asked: "At that time, there were only you and your husband in the whole house, and now that your husband is dead, your suspicion is very great." ”

Hu Wang's has been crying since he entered the lobby, and he was so moved to cry, after hearing Su Wuming's words, he couldn't help crying even more sadly, and said: "My lord is clear, the woman really doesn't know how her husband died, the two of us were eating at the time, and there was still half a bottle of wine left at home, and I also took it out for him, but who knew that after the husband drank the wine, he died suddenly, as the saying goes, the king of Hades wants people to die in the third watch, and he doesn't dare to keep people until the fifth watch, and the husband's dead woman is very sad, but ...... But you can't blame the women for his death. ”

After Hu Wang's words were finished, Su Wuming frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked the officer: "Have you ever brought the wine bottle that Hu Wei drank at that time?" ”
