Chang'an Chaos.

Early in the morning, Li Deyu took the secret order of the emperor Li Yan to meet the officials of the forbidden army, and in his words, there was a deep taste of bribery, of course, the emperor and he are not easy to fool, since it is a bribe, it has to be a real bribe, if these people don't understand this, then don't blame the emperor and him Li Deyu turned his face ruthlessly.

The capital already has a passion, Su Wuming was a little at a loss after receiving the news of the servant, he wanted to ask Linghu Gu immediately, but he felt that this was too casual, it was easy to startle the snake, after some last thought, he decided to enter the palace, he wanted to investigate one thing clearly, and this matter was very important for the entire murder that happened in the palace.

Su Wuming didn't understand one thing, Concubine Cao lived in the palace, and Ling Hugu was the minister of the court, but even so, the two had no chance to be together, if the person who had an affair with Concubine Cao was really Ling Hugu, how did the two of them meet and attract?

I have to admit that Ling Hugu is a beautiful man and very attractive to women, but Concubine Cao, as the emperor's concubine, should know the danger of doing this kind of thing, right?

Even if Concubine Cao is physically and mentally lonely, and she does not hesitate to sacrifice a qiē in order to get the pleasure of men and women, but Ling Hu Gu, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, should have the reason he deserves, right?

Su Wuming wanted to enter the palace, and he wanted to know if there were any clues between the two.

When Su Wuming entered the palace, the palace was still a little chaotic, maybe because of King Xin's rebellion, or because the emperor was going to take over the forbidden army, so everyone was preparing.

Su Wuming went straight to Concubine Cao's bedroom, and then found Concubine Cao's maid Qing'er, and asked Concubine Cao if she had any connection with Linghu Gu, Qing'er was a little hesitant at first, and even hesitated, but under Su Wuming's coercion and temptation, she finally told what she knew.

"I only know one thing, that is, once the mother was playing in the garden with a few of us palace maids, and Lord Linghu happened to pass by, and Lord Linghu glanced at us, but only once, and then left."

Many love stories that have been handed down in the world are because of one more look, which can make the two of them express their love in their hearts, and can make the two of them do earth-shattering things.

Perhaps, Concubine Cao and Ling Hugu were the ones who happened later because of that glance.

If this is the case, the rest of the matter can't be guessed, Concubine Cao and Ling Hugu fell in love with each other, and then Concubine Cao took the opportunity to hook up with Linghu Gu, and Ling Hugu gave Concubine Cao a box of rouge at that time, and after Concubine Cao used the box of rouge, she was poisoned to death.

It's just that if this is the case, there is a problem that Su Wuming must solve, if Linghu Gu and Concubine Cao are really connected, then he gave Concubine Cao rouge, did he want to poison Concubine Cao a long time ago, or was the poison in the rouge box put by others later?

Linghu Gu is the Dali Temple, dealing with criminals almost every day, if he wants to kill people, there should be many ways, using rouge mixed with sweat into the mouth is also a very sophisticated way to kill, at least kill people without getting close to the person to kill.

It's just that in this way, it is very easy to be suspected, and the box of rouge that Ling Hu Gu gave to Concubine Cao is so special, if Ling Hu Gu really has the intention to kill Concubine Cao to kill people, then he should send a very ordinary box of rouge, in this way, even if Su Wuming finds out that Concubine Cao is rouge poisoning, but if that box of rouge is ordinary, it is to search the entire Chang'an City, and it will not be suspicious of Ling Hu Gu.

But this is not the case now, does that mean that Linghu Gu sent rouge to Concubine Cao, and did not want to poison Concubine Cao, the poison in the rouge box may have been put by someone else.

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is the most likely, because Concubine Cao is very aware of the relationship between him and Ling Hugu, and the two of them will never be together, so Concubine Cao will never say that she wants to threaten Ling Hugu to be with her.

When Su Wuming thought of the word threat, he suddenly frowned slightly, he felt that if Concubine Cao had a relationship with Ling Hugu, it wasn't to get the pleasure between men and women?

Cao Man had the intention to rebel, because he found that the emperor's heart was not with Concubine Cao, so would their parents collude because of this, and wanted to slowly control some people in the court, and then overthrow Li Yan's rule?

Linghu Gu is the secretary of Dali Temple, although he is only responsible for the investigation of some homicides, it is undeniable that Ling Hugu is still very powerful, and if he gets Linghu Gu's support, it may be of great help to Cao Man.

When he came out of Concubine Cao's bedroom, Su Wuming passed by a garden, that garden was very quiet at this time, there was no one, and this garden was the garden where he saw someone arguing in that day, but I don't know how the two palace maids are doing now, are they still like enemies?

The palace flowers are desolate, so why should they be too anxious?

Su Wuming sighed, and then prepared to leave, but at this time, a cat meow suddenly came from the garden, Su Wuming took a look, and found that it was a black cat, the cat was very ugly, and it was constantly shaving.

The wild cat quickly cut off a flower, but when it did, it did nothing, only meowed, and fled.

Su Wuming was a little helpless, and then prepared to leave, but as soon as he turned around, a eunuch hurriedly ran over: "Master Su, it turns out that you are here, go with the slave and maid to see the emperor, the emperor will announce you!" ”

At this time, Su Wuming finally understood that it was not that the wild cat did nothing, but that he was scared away by this eunuch.

Su Wuming followed the eunuch to the imperial study, and after Li Yan saw Su Wuming, he hurriedly sat down, and in the imperial study, in addition to the emperor Li Yan, there was also Li Deyu.

At this time, Li Deyu was a little wolfy, and his expression was a little sluggish.

Li Yan was faintly angry, Su Wuming didn't know what was going on, so he had to wait on the sidelines.

After Su Wuming sat down, Li Yan glanced at Li Deyu and said, "Li Aiqing, tell Su Aiqing what happened." ”

Li Deyu glanced at Su Wuming, a little hesitant, but after a long time, he still nodded, and told what happened earlier today, it turned out that this morning Li Deyu took the emperor's order to find those officials of the forbidden army, asking them to submit to the emperor, and lure them to benefit, but what Li Deyu didn't expect was that those people were willing to submit to the emperor, but they refused to hand over the real power of the forbidden army, Li Deyu was also angry at that time, and when he saw that he didn't agree, he scolded him, most of those forbidden army officials were eunuchs, The temper is not very good, and several of them are even perverted, seeing that Li Deyu dares to do this to them, they are also furious, and they want to take action against Li Deyu, if Li Deyu does not see the opportunity to run fast, I am afraid that he will not see the emperor.

After Li Deyu finished saying the matter, he was very aggrieved, and Li Yan was furious: "These minions are becoming more and more disagreeable, even my ministers dare to fight, I am afraid that one day, they will still hit me, no, I must give them a good look." ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, his mood slowly calmed down a little, glanced at Su Wuming, and said: "Now that the enemy is getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, I still need these forbidden troops very much, if you punish those few forbidden army commanders, I am afraid that I will provoke a mutiny, Su Aiqing, what good way do you have?" ”

Although Li Yan was angry, he didn't lose his mind in the end, after Su Wuming listened, he thought about it in his heart, and he already had a countermeasure, so he asked: "Master Li, I don't know who you have found?" ”

"Who can it be, it is naturally those officials of the forbidden army, such as the Central Protector, the judge, and the like." Li Deyu suffered a big loss from the forbidden army, and now he was questioned by Su Wuming, and he was very unhappy in his heart, his old face couldn't wait to yell at Su Wuming.

At this time, Su Wuming's expression was very calm, and after listening to Li Deyu's words, he smiled lightly: "Master Li is just afraid that he has found the wrong person!" ”

Li Deyu frowned slightly, and said: "What do you mean by this, the emperor asked his ministers to buy off those officials of the forbidden army, I don't look for them, who are you looking for?" ”

Li Yan was also a little puzzled, these people were indeed asked by him to find Li Deyu, and now Su Wuming said that Li Deyu had found the wrong person, which means that he had found the wrong person, so he was very concerned about Su Wuming's words.

Seeing this, Su Wuming explained: "Among the forbidden army, in addition to the general Qiu Shiliang, the most powerful is the lieutenant of the forbidden army, Ma Yuanzhen, but as long as Qiu Shiliang is still in the forbidden army, Ma Yuanzhen will always be only the second-in-command of the forbidden army, what men in the world pursue is only women, power and money, Ma Yuanzhen is a eunuch, and he should not have a good impression of women, so he should be the most enthusiastic about power and money. ”

After Su Wuming finished speaking, Li Yan and Li Deyu immediately understood, although those Zhonghu soldiers and judges had a lot of official positions in the forbidden army, but if they wanted to master the forbidden army, they were afraid that they would have to surpass Ma Yuanzhen and Qiu Shiliang, so even if they really returned to the emperor, it would be difficult for them to take power, but Ma Yuanzhen was different, as long as the emperor promised to give up the position of General Qiu Shiliang to Ma Yuanzhen, I was afraid that Ma Yuanzhen would immediately betray Qiu Shiliang.

In the palace, the struggle for power is very shameless, as long as you can be promoted, there are people who recognize their fathers, mothers, and ancestors, let alone stab them in the back and betray others.

Li Yan and Li Deyu are both experts in fighting in the palace, Su Wuming only mentioned it slightly, and the two of them had a countermeasure, Li Yanxi smiled and said to Li Deyu: "Li Aiqing, this matter, I'm afraid I still have to bother you!" ”

Li Deyu wiped his old face and said, "Please rest assured, the emperor will live up to his mission this time." ”
