After solving the murders in Lin'an County and Zixi County, Su Wuming and the others were preparing to go back to Qiantang County, after all, winter was getting closer and closer, and it was time for them to go back and prepare for the winter.

But as soon as they entered Qiantang County, a government official hurriedly ushered in a report, saying that Li Xun, the king of Di, had sent a letter two days ago, inviting Su Wuming and others to go to the palace for the winter.

After receiving the news of the servant, Su Wuming was a little shocked, he had been in the land of Jianghuai for a long time, but he had never heard of this king of Di, and Su Wuming had no friendship with him at all, what did he ask himself to do in the palace?

Su Wuming frowned slightly, then looked at Jiang Ying and Lin Yun and said, "The two of you used to be guards in the palace, and you must know a lot about the dignitaries and nobles of our dynasty, who is this King Di?" ”

Jiang Ying glanced at Lin Yun, Lin Yun smiled, and said: "Master Su, this Di Wang is the emperor's uncle today, and he is the seventeenth son of Emperor Xianzong. So King Di can be regarded as being released. ”

As soon as Lin Yun said this, Su Wuming had already understood that the changes of the throne in the Tang Dynasty in the past ten years were indeed quite frequent, and the relationship between the previous emperor and the next emperor was even more complicated, some were father-son relationships, some were brothers, and some were between the emperor's uncle and nephew.

After understanding the identity of King Di, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said: "This official has never met this King Di, and his reputation is the first time I have heard of it, but I don't know why this King Di invited this official to his palace?" ”

In fact, Su Wuming didn't know what King Di called Su Wuming, and according to Su Wuming's identity, he didn't have to say it, but Jiang Ying and Lin Yun are both the guards of the current emperor, and they are the guards sent by the current emperor to monitor him, although their loyalty has gradually tended to Su Wuming during this period of time, but some things are not easy to say, so Su Wuming wants to be surprised and overwhelmed by the two of them, so that even if the two of them report to the current emperor in the future, He Su Wuming is not too passive, after all, when a prince sees an official sent by the imperial court, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

After Su Wuming said those words, Nangong Yan didn't care, and said: "What's there to think about, he wants to see us, let's just go on a trip, is it possible that he still dares to embarrass us?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Didn't you listen to what Lin Yun said just now, this King Di is very respectful of scholars, although your husband and I are the director of Dali Temple, but I was also a scholar before, and I have written a few poems, and I am embarrassed by King Di, I'm afraid it won't be." ”

"Since King Di won't embarrass us, then we should go even more, don't you know, I'm tired of Qiantang County, it's really boring." Nangong Yan said, running and shaking Su Wuming's arm, asking Su Wuming to agree to go.

Su Wuming smiled helplessly: "The prince has come to deliver the message, I am a small Dali Temple Sizhi, there is no reason to allow it, since this is the case, let's go for a trip." ”

King Di's Mansion is in Hangzhou City, originally, Su Wuming and others came back from Zixi County just now, they should go home to rest first, and then go to Hangzhou City, but because the news of King Di came two days ago, so Su Wuming and others were not good to delay any longer, so they had to go home and hurriedly rushed to Hangzhou City, with the speed of Su Wuming and others, they should be able to arrive tonight.

The cold wind on the road was terrible, and before they knew that most of the winter had passed, Su Wuming and others rushed to Hangzhou City in the cold wind, and in the evening, they finally arrived in Hangzhou City.

After they entered Hangzhou City, after several inquiries, this was from asking clearly where the Di Wangfu was located, which was a mansion in the west of Hangzhou, which was said to be quite large, Su Wuming and others came to the west of the city, and it was easy to find the Di Wangfu.

After reporting their names, the subordinates of the Di Wangfu immediately led them into the living room, and after a while, a man about thirty years old and with an elegant face walked over, and said with a smile as he walked: "Are you the Dali Temple Si Zhisu nameless?" ”

Su Wuming didn't expect this King Di to be so young, so he got up and saluted again and again, and said: "The next official is the Dali Temple Sizhi Su Wuming, Su Wuming has seen the prince." ”

King Di waved his hand to let Su Wuming get up, but Su Wuming insisted on saluting, and said: "Xiaguan has been investigating the murder case in Zixi County before, and when I went back today, I learned that the prince sent someone to Qiantang to report the letter, and the lower official came immediately after getting the letter, and came a little late, please forgive the prince." ”

King Di didn't mean to be angry, and waved his hand and smiled: "Master Su, there is nothing important for this king to come to you, but after hearing about some of your case-solving deeds, I just want to see you, and now I see it, if you really live up to your name, you really have the prestige of a detective, maybe you will be a Di Renjie of my Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”

Di Renjie is a detective in the Wu Zetian period, once served as a Dali Temple, which has interrupted a lot of strange cases, Su Wuming through their respective literary works and film and television works in his previous life, he knows no less than King Di, and now King Di will compare Su Wuming with him, you can imagine how much King Di admires Su Wuming, and after Su Wuming listened, his heart sank slightly, because he knew very well that when dealing with royal people, he must be cautious and careful, otherwise if he is not careful, he may fall into the battle of the royal family, and after falling in, If you are on the right camp, you may be prosperous, and if you are on the wrong camp, you may be ruined.

Su Wuming understands this very well, so for him, if he wants to be more stable, it is best not to join any camp and only do what he wants to do.

It's just that even so, Su Wuming can't say it, and now that King Di has praised him several times, he has to respond to him somewhat.

"King Di is really a winner, it's just a coincidence that a few murders have been broken, where can it be compared with the former Lord Di Renjiedi."

Seeing that Su Wuming was modest, Nangong Yan was a little disapproving, and said: "I think Xianggong's ability is even more powerful than that Di Renjie, why should you be modest, Su Lang." ”

Before Nangong Yan finished speaking, Wen Wan'er pulled her, Wen Wan'er is not as incomprehensible as Nangong Yan, and now in this palace, there are some things that can not be said casually.

And just when Wen Wan'er pulled Nangong Yan, King Di suddenly laughed and said: "I have heard that Master Su married two beautiful girls, and one is elegant and virtuous, and the other is innocent. ”

was stirred up by Nangong Yan like this, and King Di no longer talked to Su Wuming about detectives or Di Renjie, King Di changed his mind slightly, and said: "Lord Su has been in the Jianghuai area for almost a year, and this king has heard about all kinds of your deeds, and I wanted to see you, but this king also knows that you are entangled in official business, and there are often suspicious cases to be solved, so I don't dare to send someone to call you, but now that the New Year is approaching, I want to come to Lord Su to rest and rest, so this is from sending someone to invite you to spend the winter in my palace, I don't know what Lord Su wants?" ”

The needs of the Di Wangfu are much more complete than their Su Mansion, and people like the prince are naturally more interesting after the New Year, but if Su Wuming really spent the winter in this Di Wangfu, then what should the emperor think after he knows about it?

Any emperor, as long as he is not stupid or stupid, will have a little suspicion, the father of this king is Xianzong back then, after the death of Xianzong, his descendants failed to become emperors, there must be some resentment in his heart, today's emperor is only afraid of these people and have some precautions, right?

Staying here is undoubtedly a trouble that may break out at any time for Su Wuming, so after thinking about it, Su Wuming smiled again and again: "The prince has good intentions to go to the official's heart, but the lower official is under the emperor's order, if he spends the winter in the prince's mansion, I am afraid that if there is a suspicious case outside, the lower official may not know immediately and lose the opportunity, so I don't know ......" Su Wuming's words were not finished, and King Di suddenly smiled: "It's okay, since Lord Su cares about the people, then feel free, but anyway, since you are here, More or less you should stay in my prince's mansion for a few days, you say? ”

I heard that King Di was quite famous in Chang'an City back then, and a prince could get a good name among the people and hundreds of officials, so he was more or less outstanding, so after Su Wuming said those words, he immediately understood what Su Wuming was thinking, of course, he also immediately thought of what Su Wuming was worried about, and what Su Wuming was worried about was probably also what King Di was worried about.

Since both of them are worried about this matter, there is no need to continue.

Now that King Di has retreated, if Su Wuming postpones it again, it will inevitably make people feel that he is arrogant and self-appreciative, and he doesn't even give the prince face, and after being a little helpless, Su Wuming has no choice but to give up.

Seeing that Su Wuming agreed to live in the Di Wang's Mansion for a few days, the Di King was very excited, and repeatedly instructed the housekeeper to prepare a room for Su Wuming and others, and then said to Su Wuming: "Lord Su and others just came to my palace, and this king has decided to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you tonight. ”

Such a wanton gathering between officials and members of the royal family, if the emperor learns about it, it is inevitable that there will be some suspicions, Su Wuming doesn't believe that King Di doesn't understand this truth, but since he understands this truth, why do he still do it?

What is the purpose of this King Di, is he not afraid that the emperor will suspect his intentions because of these things?
