Chapter 234: Fingertips for Marriage
Fang Buyi disappeared, and Su Wuming frowned slightly after hearing the news.
If Cao Ying chose to run away from marriage because she was in love with Fang Buyi, then after she escaped from marriage, she should choose to elope with Fang Buyi, girls are blind and crazy in love, these things, she completely did it.
But on the day she ran away from the marriage, she was killed in Huizhen Temple, and after she was killed, Fang Buyi suddenly disappeared, where did he go?
Did you run away because of fear? was still kidnapped or killed by the Cao family.
It is extremely possible to be killed by the people of the Cao family, if Cao Man learns that his daughter escaped from marriage because of Fang Buyi, with Cao Man's character, he will definitely not let go of Fang Buyi, and this matter will damage the reputation of his Cao family, so even if he wants to deal with Fang Buyi, he will definitely do it secretly.
And now if they want to know if this is the case, then they must find out whether the people of the Cao family know that it is not easy for this person to exist, and it is definitely not possible to ask directly, and they can only investigate secretly.
This matter was handed over to Lin Yun by Su Wuming, and his efficiency was quite good.
After asking like this, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong went directly to Dali Temple, the efficiency of Dali Temple is much higher than that of Jiang Ying and Lin Yun, since Jiang Ying and Lin Yun have both investigated something, then Dali Temple must have some clues at this time.
This is indeed the case, after Su Wuming entered Dali Temple, he was directly called to his office by Ling Hugu, and after the two sat down, Ling Hugu immediately said: "The identity of the beggar has been investigated. ”
Hua Lang was overjoyed, and then hurriedly asked, "What does that beggar have to do with Cao Fu?" ”
Although he didn't want Su Wuming to benefit from this case, this murder case was really related, and if it was not handled well, the entire Dali Temple would be punished, so Ling Hugu hesitated for a while, but still told the results of the investigation.
"The beggar is called Du An, a person from Kaifeng, a few years ago, the family was still very wealthy, but since the beginning of the previous year, their family has suffered one after another, the family died, escaped, and now he is the only one left, he came to Chang'an from Kaifeng this time, and it does have something to do with the Cao family, because before he and Cao Ying were born, the parents of both sides have been married."
When he heard the word finger for marriage, Su Wuming was very shocked, he had a hunch early on that the beggar had a relationship with Cao Mansion, but he didn't expect that they would have such a relationship, since he and Cao Ying were married, then he came to Cao Mansion to fulfill the promise made back then.
With the current power of Cao Fu, how could they marry their daughter to a beggar?
This sounds ridiculous.
After thinking for a while, Su Wuming hurriedly asked, "Do they know the identity of that beggar Cao Man?" ”
When Du An's went to Cao's Mansion, he didn't identify himself, only said that he was the old acquaintance of Lord Cao, but the people of Cao's Mansion thought that Lord Cao would have the old acquaintance of a beggar, so they drove him out. If Lord Cao knew Du An's identity, he was afraid that he would not die in Huizhen Temple, but suddenly disappeared. ”
Linghu Gu, as the secretary of Dali Temple, is no worse than Su Wuming's ability to analyze things, and when Su Wuming heard the sudden disappearance, he couldn't help but think of what Lin Yun said today, Fang Buyi's sudden disappearance, is it Cao Man's hands and feet behind his back?
"What Lord Linghu said is extremely true, I wonder if our people have investigated Na Duan's character, will he be resentful because he can't ask to see Cao Man, so he wants to take revenge on Cao Ying and die with him?"
This statement still makes sense, because only in this way can it be reasonable for two people to be poisoned at the same time.
Ling Hugu nodded: "Investigated, this Duan is a very peaceful person, his personality is a little cowardly, but he is also kind, he came to Chang'an to beg, and he has also helped a few beggars like him, if he has the idea of killing people just because he was rejected by the Cao Mansion, it should be unlikely." ”
In the world, nothing is impossible, so Du An came to Chang'an City to see Cao Man, the purpose is to change his current situation, but if he can't even see Cao Man, how can he change the status quo?
If you continue to live like a beggar, what hope is there for life? If there is no hope, everything will be done.
Although Su Wuming and Ling Hugu had different thoughts, they didn't say it, and at this time, Ling Hugu suddenly asked him: "That beggar is involved in Cao Man at this time, what are you going to do?" ”
Although this case was handed over to Su Wuming to handle, Su Wuming is a person from Dali Temple, if he offends Cao Man, he is afraid that Dali Temple will also be implicated, so there are some things that make Hu Gu kill to remind Su Wuming, don't just offend many people in order to solve the case.
Su Wuming naturally understood what Ling Hugu meant, but there were some things that he knew was not easy to do, but he still had to do it.
"Du An's matter is a bit complicated, his subordinates want to go to Cao Mansion to ask, after all, Cao Ying and Du An have already been married, but Cao Man married Cao Ying to Chai Yunzhong, there must be some twists and turns, I think Cao Man must have thought about Du An's existence, and even in order to prevent Du An from coming to Cao Mansion for trouble, he may find a way to get rid of Du An."
Su Wuming's words were very bold, and Hu Gu's expression was slightly different after hearing it, but soon, it returned to normal, and after nodding slightly, he let Su Wuming go down.
In fact, after hearing Su Wuming's thoughts for the first time, Ling Hugu was ready to oppose it, even if Cao Ying killed someone, it couldn't do anything to him, the court officials, who had not killed people for their own purposes, but the methods of killing people were very different, with Cao Man's status and status, killing a person was nothing at all, and he couldn't move his foundation, if Su Wuming didn't know how to go to Cao Man's trouble, it would only make him more troublesome, and then trouble Dali Temple.
But after thinking about it, if Su Wuming was really in trouble because of this matter, wouldn't it be a trouble for Ling Hugu to get rid of himself?
At that time, even if Cao Man sprinkled his resentment on Dali Temple, his position as the secretary of Dali Temple would not be shaken, at least in the entire Dali Temple now, no one has been able to take his place.
But said that after Su Wuming left Dali Temple, he took Tang Xiong directly to Cao Mansion, although Cao Mansion is not easy to enter as Chai Mansion, but when Su Wuming said his name and said that the purpose of this was related to the killing of the second lady of their family, the guards immediately went to the mansion to report, and after a short time, someone led them to the living room.
Cao's Mansion is even bigger than Zhichai's Mansion, after all, Cao Man is not only the identity of the Ministry of Etiquette, but also the national abbot.
Pavilions, water pavilions, small bridges and pavilions, there are a lot of the same, after walking a few times, they finally came to the living room, and waited in the living room for a while, then Cao Chong came, when he came, his face was cold and arrogant, and after glancing at Su Wuming, he snorted coldly and said: "My father has something important to do, and Master Su has something to say to me." ”
Su Wuming did not feel any unhappiness because of this, and after nodding slightly, he immediately said straight to the point: "That's the case, after our investigation, we have found out the identity of the beggar, and there are a few things I want to ...... to Cao" Before Su Wuming's words were finished, Cao Chong suddenly snorted coldly: "I only care about my sister's affairs, who is that beggar and what does it matter to us, Master Su must be clear, you only have four days!" ”
Su Wuming smiled bitterly and said, "This official knows, there is no need for Cao Gongzi to remind him, that beggar ...... It has something to do with your Cao Mansion, and it has a big relationship. ”
After Su Wuming said this, Cao Chong was angry and angry, but he couldn't help it, and asked, "Oh, what is the relationship between that beggar and my Cao Mansion?" ”
"That beggar's name is Du An, from Kaifeng, does Cao Gongzi have an impression?"
Cao Chong frowned slightly: "My Cao family is also from Kaifeng, but the people in my hometown have long stopped interacting, so Du An's surname is Du, I don't think it is our Cao family's family, what can he have to do with our Cao Mansion?" ”
"Cao Gongzi doesn't know, but Ling Zun definitely knows, according to our investigation, when the sister was still in her mother's womb, she and Naduan's parents had already married her, so she ......"
Su Wuming didn't say the following words, because he knew very well that some words didn't have to be said, and with Cao Chong's intelligence, he should think of it.
After Cao Chong listened to Su Wuming's words, he suddenly said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, how can my sister marry that beggar?" After saying this, Cao Chong didn't care that Su Wuming was here, so he got up and left directly.
Tang Xiong stood aside a little dumbfounded, he didn't understand etiquette before, and he probably didn't have any feelings about this matter, but since he followed Su Wuming, he knew a lot of things, and before the guests left, Cao Chong brushed his sleeves away like this, isn't it too much to say?
"Brother Su, this Cao Chong is really hateful, shall we leave?"
Su Wuming didn't mean to leave, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Wait, I think it's time for Cao Guozhang to come out." ”
Su Wuming's guess was not wrong, after about a cup of tea, Cao Man walked in from the outside, his momentum was majestic, and he sat directly in his place after coming in, and then looked at Su Wuming and asked, "The identity of the beggar has been investigated clearly?" ”
"Yes, his name is Du An, he is from Kaifeng, and according to the investigation, he has a marriage contract with Ling Yan."
Finger belly marriage also has a certain legal effect in ancient times, so it is not an exaggeration for Su Wuming to say that there is a marriage contract.
At this time, Cao Man looked disdainful and said: "At that time, I was in Kaifeng and I just talked casually to Naduan's father, but I didn't expect that after so many years, he still remembered, and let his son come to Chang'an, hum, I really don't know what I can do, can my daughter marry a beggar?" ”
