In the middle of the night, it rained again in Chang'an.

The wind and rain wet the curtains at night, and the sound of crackling sounded monotonously and continuously in the night, Su Wuming was woken up by the sound of wind and rain, he sat up from the bed, his wife was already asleep, and they were sleeping beautifully.

Su Wuming quietly got out of bed and came to the window, the spring rain outside was not very big, but the wind was not small, after a night of wind and rain, I don't know how many flowers would fall.

The leaves in the courtyard are rustling, the soil next to the bluestone slabs has been loosened, and it will soon turn into mud, and the grass in the mud will float in the wind, and they will survive more tenaciously.

Su Wuming sighed, closed the window, and then went back to sleep.

I slept soundly this night, and the sound of wind and rain was like music, and it was hypnotic music.

The next day, when the sun was shining and the sun was warm, it gave people an indescribable feeling of brightness, and everything in the courtyard was completely new, even the leaves were much greener.

Su Wuming washed up, hurriedly ate some breakfast, and then left home, although Dali Temple does not have things to deal with every day, but as a Dali Temple director, it is still necessary to go to Dali Temple every day.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and some vendors started setting up stalls early, and their faces were full of smiles, which made Su Wuming also deeply infected, and he felt that life was really beautiful.

The newly bought mansion is very close to Dali Temple, so the time to walk half a pillar of incense has arrived, and when Su Wuming entered Dali Temple, he suddenly found that the situation in Dali Temple was a little different today, and everyone's faces showed anxious looks.

And Dali Temple Qing Linghu Gu and Dali Temple Shaoqing Shen Tong and Han Pei were not there, Dali Temple Zheng Di Bu and another Dali Temple Zheng Zhao Zun discussed things, both of them had anxious looks on their faces.

Su Wuming knew that this Zhao Zun belonged to the ** faction of his relatives, although his relatives were deliberately snubbed by the current emperor, his strength should not be underestimated, so this Zhao Zun also has some status in Dali Temple, and there are many people who are attached to him.

He and Dibu often quarreled over some things, but looking at the two of them today, it seemed that they were not arguing, but discussing things, a very serious matter.

After Su Wuming came in, the situation in Dali Temple did not change at all, everyone was still anxious and worried, only Di Bu saw him and waved his hand slightly to let him pass, Su Wuming came to Di Bu and Zhao Zun, and after saluting, he asked: "Two adults, but what happened to Dali Temple?" ”

Zhao Zun glanced at Su Wuming angrily, and said coldly: "What a simple thing, if nothing happens, our colleagues will be so busy?" ”

These people in Dali Temple are not very busy, they are just very worried.

Su Wuming smiled awkwardly, and at this time, Di Bu hurriedly said: "Lord Su, this is what it looks like, this morning the Chang'an City Mansion came with news, saying that there was a murder in an abandoned Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, and Lord Yin Liu Minzhi has invited Lord Linghu of Dali Temple and two Shaoqing of Dali Temple to discuss countermeasures, and I am also anxious to wait here!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a government in the land of Gyeonggi, and the governor was the governor of the mansion, who was generally in charge of the affairs of the entire capital, although this kind of homicide case was also closed by them, but it was generally recorded and handed over to the Dali Temple for investigation, and then returned to the Ministry of Officials for approval after the results, and the Dali Temple Qing and the Dali Temple Shaoqing were called, but it has never happened.

There must be something hidden in this matter, Su Wuming glanced at Di Bu and said, "Master Di, but the deceased has a special identity?" ”

Di Bu nodded: "That temple is very small, called Huizhen Temple, it has been abandoned, only one or two monks live there, after the two of them got up this morning, they found that there were two more corpses in the temple hall, one male and one female. ”

Su Wuming was taken aback and said, "Martyrdom? ”

Di Bu shook his head: "If it is easy to be martyred, the key is that the man is in rags and is clearly a beggar, while the woman is ...... It is Cao Ying, the daughter of Lord Cao Mancao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Cao is in a high position, if this matter is spread out, I am afraid that it will not be good, and Lord Liu Minzhi of the Mansion has some scruples, so he called Lord Linghu and the two Shaoqing adults of Dali Temple. ”

Su Wuming has been in Chang'an for a while, and he also knows a lot about Cao Man, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he also belongs to his relatives, in addition to being the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is also the national abbot, and the eldest daughter Cao Yun is the concubine of the current emperor Li Yan, although she is not very favored, but her status is not low, and she is very influential in the court.

Now Cao Ying, the daughter of the Guozhang and the Ministry of Rites, died in Huizhen Temple with a beggar, if it is really passed out, it is really not a trivial matter, Liu Minzhi and Liu Fuyin are a little cautious because of this, and it is reasonable.

After listening to Di Bu's introduction on the side, Zhao Zun said coldly: "It must be that beggar who kidnapped Miss Cao, this matter must not be tolerated." "Zhao Zun is Cao Man's protégé, and now he wants to speak for his teacher, but what he said makes everyone hear, but they feel ridiculous. Moreover, if the beggar kidnapped Cao Ying, then how could the beggar also die?

Although everyone was funny, because of the backing relationship behind Zhao Zun, they didn't comment much, so they had to wait for Linghu Gu and them to come back and listen to their arrangements.

But everyone knows that even if this case is not allowed to be publicized, the murderer must be caught, Lord Cao's daughter was killed, if the murderer is not found, they Dali Temple is waiting to be impeached.

About an hour later, Dali Temple Qing Ling Hu Gu led two young people plus a middle-aged man in his forties walked in, after these people entered Dali Temple, Su Wuming and others immediately luggage, Ling Hu Gu bowed slightly, and then called Dali Temple and Dali Temple Si Zhi and others to their office.

After Ling Hugu sat down, he looked at everyone: "You have already heard about the murder that happened in Huizhen Temple in Chang'an City, right?" ”

Everyone replied one after another, making Hu Gu bow slightly, and then continued: "This official has already discussed with Lord Liu Minzhi, this case must be solved, but it must not be publicized, so this official has decided to select one person from our Dali Temple to handle this case together with this Pei Xiu Pei Shaoyin selected by Lord Liu Minzhi from the government office, what do you have to say?" ”

Although Ling Hugu is the secretary of Dali Temple, he likes to ask for the opinions of his colleagues, although he knows very well that after what he said just now, these can only be nodded in agreement.

And that's exactly what happened.

Seeing that no one spoke, the corners of Ling Hugu's mouth rose slightly, and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's nominate someone to take on this important task!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts were a little heavy, this is indeed a heavy responsibility, the deceased is the daughter of Cao Guozhang, if the investigation can't come out, I'm afraid that the career in this life will not go well.

Of course, if anyone has the ability to investigate the murderer, it is also indispensable.

Everyone is very hesitant, and sometimes the benefits are accompanied by dangers, and it depends on whether people can grasp them.

At this time, Han Pei, the young master of Dali Temple, glanced at Zhao Zun and said, "Lord Zhao is a student of Lord Cao, and now that Lord Cao's daughter has been killed, should you behave well?" ”

The meaning of this sentence couldn't be clearer, this is to ask Zhao Zun to handle this murder case, and at this time, the reason why Han Pei stood up and pointed to Zhao Zun to handle the case is actually for a reason, this Han Pei is a person who belongs to the Niu Party, after Li Deyu took power, he demoted many people from the Niu Party, because the influence of Dali Temple in the court is very small, so Han Pei was able to protect his official position.

The Niu Party has always represented the poor people of the world, so they look down on those scholars and relatives, and now that Li Deyu is in power, he doesn't dare to do anything to the people of the Li Party, so in the end he has to take the people of the country.

As soon as Han Pei's words came out, Zhao Zun's face immediately changed and said, "This ...... This...... I'm afraid it's not suitable, I'll ......" Zhao Zunzhi is very talented, although he really wants to take this opportunity to make a great contribution, but he is a little worried, and he was suddenly mentioned by Han Pei, and he was a little speechless for a while.

And at this time, Shen Tong suddenly snorted coldly, and then scolded: "Useless things." After scolding, Shen Tong bowed his hand to Linghu Guwei and said: "Lord Linghu, I think this Dali Temple Si Zhisu is nameless and can be a heavy responsibility, he has handled a lot of cases in the Jianghuai area, and every case is remarkable. ”

Su Wuming offended Li Deyu Almost all the people in the Li Party already knew, and now they seized an opportunity to give Su Wuming a small shoe, how could Shen Tong let it go, if Su Wuming suffered because of this murder, he would have more capital to be promoted in front of Li Deyu.

After listening to Shen Tong's words, Ling Hu Gu bowed slightly, then looked at Su Wuming and asked, "Lord Su, are you willing to take on this important task?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly and said, "I am willing, the next official will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Shen Tong didn't expect Su Wuming to agree so happily, as if he had been fooled, or there was a feeling of making wedding clothes for others.

In fact, after Hua Lang learned the name of the young Yin who followed Ling Hugu, Su Wuming had already decided to take over the murder case, because others didn't know about this person's future achievements, but he knew it very well, Pei Xiu, he was a generation of famous ministers in the Xuanzong period, and it must be a thing that people can remember for a lifetime to solve the case with the famous ministers in the future.

After Su Wuming happily agreed, there was a smile on Ling Hugu's face, otherwise if no one in the entire Dali Temple dared to fight, wouldn't it be too shameless?

Although Dali Temple and the government often cooperate, but also secretly compete, the government sent a young Yin to come, if no one in their Dali Temple is willing to go, they are afraid that it will reach Liu Minzhi's ears, it will be laughed at and generous.

Fortunately, Su Wuming took on it.
