Chapter 38: Drowning (2)
In the distance, the sound of Chang'an City was heard.
The more leaks in the hall also made a clear sound in time.
Li Zhi's raised hand slowly fell.
"If I don't allow it, you can't guarantee that the case will be solved within half a month?"
"Yes."
"On the other hand, if I agree, can you ensure that the murderer is handed over within half a month?"
"The minister is willing to make a military order."
"That being the case, I'm right."
Li Zhi waved his sleeves and said a little tiredly: "You go, you can choose the manpower by yourself, I will send someone to accompany you, remember your words, and do it yourself." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Dawei got up and saluted and slowly took two steps back.
When she looked up, the corner of her eye touched Wu Meiniang's eyes slightly.
I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart.
With his understanding of Wu Meiniang, she was angry this time.
It seems to be guessing his intentions.
Su Dawei pursed his lips, retreated, and slowly withdrew from the hall.
Facing the sunlight outside the hall, I suddenly felt a cold back, which was soaked in cold sweat.
The situation just now is not without danger.
But it was also deliberately created by him.
The political journey is no less dangerous than the battlefield.
He has to plan well to be invincible.
Sun Tzu said: Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they can be defeated by the enemy.
I will not be victorious, but I will be victorious against the enemy.
The great man said that who is our enemy and who is our friend is the first question of the revolution.
What Su Dawei is facing now is the relationship between "friend and foe".
The murder is the appearance, and the factions and positions involved behind it are the deadly steel knives.
This is the last case, the assassination case in Chang'an, which was given to Su Dawei by the church.
With a heavy heart, Su Dawei walked out of the hall and waited for a while, and later got the holy decree of Li Zhi passed to him by the eunuch, with this decree, he could let go of his hands and feet.
……
Night falls.
Chang'an County Bad People's Public.
Qian Bazhi, Nan Jiulang, the old ghost Gui Jianchao, Zhang Hailin and Lu Caozhi and others sat around Su Dawei.
Since Su Dawei first entered Chang'an County, more than ten years have passed.
Over the years, Chang'an County has been beaten with iron, and soldiers have been flowing water.
Except for the few old bad people in front of me, the bad people below have already changed several times.
Su Dawei is the only person he can really trust, not much.
These people in front of you can be counted.
Of course, there are also Zhou Liang and Shen Yuan, but Zhou Liang is still on his way back to Chang'an from the Liaodong Peninsula.
And Shen Yuan has another task.
Besides, Shen Yuan's mind is not very bright, and there is no need to call him for this kind of temple meeting.
"Uncle Ghost, this time, I have to trouble you again."
"Ami, do you need me to do this? You can find Caozhi or Hailin, they all have a bit of my true biography, besides, Princess Gaoyang...... It's better to find a maid to do it. ”
"Uncle Ghost is right, but the first candidate must be trustworthy, and the second must be competent, both of which are indispensable."
"Then I'll recommend someone to you."
Gui Jianchao's fingers moved.
Su Dawei was quite surprised, and Nan Jiulang, who was beside him, said curiously: "Gui Ye usually lives in a simple place, at most, he is mixed with us bad people, and he actually knows a female servant?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gui Jianchao could speak, he was slapped on the head by Qian Bazhi from behind.
Qian Bazhi scolded with a smile: "There are many doorways for the old ghost, how can you know it as a small character." ”
Nan Jiulang covered his head and smiled bitterly: "You old man is light." ”
"It's you who fight, your kid went to Baekje with Ami, and now his tail is up to the sky, and Ami comes back and knows to bring us some ginseng mink, you come back empty-handed, and you don't understand the etiquette at all."
"Go back and make up, go back and make up for it."
Nan Jiulang hurriedly begged for mercy.
Su Dawei had the opportunity to interject to Gui Jianchao: "Uncle Ghost, if you think someone is suitable, call her to help with this, I understand the etiquette." ”
"The person I found, don't worry."
Gui Jianchao said to Lu Cao beside him: "You go and go to find Aunt Ci." ”
"Yes."
Lu Caozhi got up and hugged his fists at Su Dawei and the others: "I'll go back when I go." ”
"Aunt Ci is?"
"You've been with me for a while, and that was a long time ago."
Gui Jianchao's face flashed with memories: "She is now a female doctor, but the ability to punish the name and autopsy must not have been left behind, you can rest assured that you are looking for her." ”
Su Dawei nodded: "Okay." ”
Several people got together and talked a few more about the case.
Qian Ba pointed and said, "What is that green plant found in the princess's nose?" ”
"If only I knew."
Su Dawei smiled bitterly, reached into his sleeve, took out the square cloth, and carefully spread it out: "Eight fingers, and Uncle Ghost, you are well-informed, help me recognize, what this thing is and where it comes from." ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the few tiny green leaves wrapped in Bupa.
The whale oil lamp in the public hall is as bright as day.
Through the orange light, everyone looked at it repeatedly.
Nan Jiulang was the first to give up, shook his head and said, "This kind of thing, I don't remember where I've seen it, I don't have any impression." ”
Qian Bazhi pondered for a moment and said, "I have a little impression, but I can't remember it for a while." ”
Su Dawei looked at him: "Then the eighth master, you think about it carefully, if you can think about it, it would be the best." ”
"Hmm."
Qian Bazhi nodded, and stroked his unkempt chin with his right hand, which was missing a finger, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Gui Jianchao, who was sitting opposite, had the wrinkles on his face stacked slightly, and said slowly: "I've seen this thing." ”
Su Dawei was quite surprised: "Where has Uncle Ghost seen it?" ”
Originally, I was waiting for the female servant to make a living, and casually mentioned the case, but I didn't have much hope, I never thought that Gui Jianchao actually knew this plant.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Gui Jianchao.
But seeing that he was not in a hurry, he took out a knife from his arms, took out a piece of wood, and said while cutting the wood with a knife: "In the Jing River, there is a section out of Chang'an, I have seen this kind of thing, which is a kind of grass floating on the river. ”
Su Dawei originally suspected that the appearance of this green plant was like some kind of duckweed.
Now listening to Gui Jianchao say this, it is even more certain.
"Princess Gaoyang was killed, and the Dali Temple and Wannian County investigated the trauma of a broken neck, resulting in death, but I went to the scene and found this thing from the princess's nose...... Interesting. ”
The more abnormal it is, the more it shows that there is an inside story in this case.
Chewy.
It's worth going over and over again.
Nan Jiulang scratched his head on the side: "Su Shuai, now your eyebrows are burning, such a big case, you still say it's interesting?" ”
Zhang Hailin said with a smile: "People who have been solving big cases actually have a special hobby for solving cases, and the more bizarre the case, the more he likes it." ”
"Love a fart."
Su Dawei couldn't cry or laugh: "This is a deadline to solve the case, I made a military order in front of His Majesty, if it can't be broken when it expires, I really want to put myself in." ”
Gui Jianchao, who was holding the wood and cutting it one by one, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, and threw a sentence out of his mouth: "Who told you to stinky and show energy, this kind of thing, others are afraid to avoid it, and you actually take the initiative to go up." ”
"Uncle Ghost, you don't understand."
Su Dawei smiled bitterly, and his expression was a little melancholy: "As the saying goes, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." ”
Before the words fell, Gui Jianchao had already raised the wood in his hand and knocked on Su Dawei's head.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound.
Su Dawei hugged his head in embarrassment, and looked at Gui Jianchao helplessly: "Uncle Ghost, there are so many people, so you can save some face for me." ”
This made Nan Jiulang and Qian Bazhi very happy to watch from the sidelines.
Now in Chang'an County, I'm afraid only the old ghost dares to do this to Su Dawei.
Outside the house, there was the sound of dripping rain.
Gui Jianchao's carved hand paused slightly.
He turned his face sideways, and his ears moved slightly: "It's raining." ”
"People are coming, too."
Su Dawei said.
……
Rain cats and dogs.
This is not good news for Su Dawei.
When the rain washes away, any traces on the ground will be washed away.
If I want to find out the "third party" except Princess Gaoyang and Su Dawei from the ground traces, I hope to become more and more confused.
The only hope now is that the female servant recommended by Gui Jianchao can find new clues.
Su Dawei stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at the eaves overhead.
Rain falls from the sky like beads of broken thread.
Beside Su Dawei, there were still a few people, in addition to Nan Jiulang, there were more tall tigers, and Wang Fusheng, the eunuch in the palace.
Nan Jiulang and Gao Dahu represent the manpower of the Metropolitan Temple.
The female maid is a loving aunt, representing the bad of Chang'an County.
As for Wang Fusheng, he replaced Li Zhi and watched on the spot.
There is also the meaning of supervision.
It's just that with the sound of rain, the coolness rises, and everyone is not interested in talking.
"That aunt has been in for a while."
A slightly green voice rang out.
Su Dawei's gaze was pulled back from the rain curtain in the sky and fell on him.
This is a young man in his twenties with handsome eyebrows.
He has a meridian crown on his head, his face is like a crown of jade, his body is long and jade, and he is dressed in a plain robe.
It turned out to be a little Taoist.
Of course, his real identity is Li Xianzong, the grandson of Li Chunfeng, the master of the Secret Pavilion of the Dynasty.
"The autopsy must be meticulous, it's still early, so let's wait."
Su Dawei recalled the scene when he walked into the courtyard with an umbrella.
At that time, Li Xianzong, who was waiting in the courtyard with Wang Fusheng, greeted him.
didn't look at Su Dawei first, but stared at the aunt with a slightly strange gaze.
At that time, Su Dawei was still a little strange and asked him if he knew him.
Li Xianzong smiled mysteriously: "I don't know each other, but the wind follows the tiger, the cloud follows the dragon, as soon as this aunt comes, she will bring heavy rain, at least it can be regarded as a Jiao." ”
If Li Chunfeng said this, Su Dawei would continue to ask.
However, I am not very familiar with Li Xianzong, so I don't want to ask too much.
I smiled and said I had uncovered it.
Seeing that he asked about Aunt Ci at this time, Su Dawei recalled Aunt Ci's appearance.
It seems, it's pretty good.
The reason why the word seems is used is because the lady covered her face with a black veil.
However, the eyebrows and eyes that are exposed are very elegant.
The walking posture is also curling, quite charming.
The person recommended by the old ghost Gui Jianchao, Su Dawei originally thought that he had to be the age of the old ghost, who would have thought that it was actually a young woman.
This Li Xianzong is Mu Shaoai's age, and he repeatedly mentions Aunt Ci, I don't know if it's ......
At that moment, the door behind it creaked open.
The Secret Pavilion actress who was guarding the room before accompanied the aunt out together.
The rain was mixed with the wind, and for a moment it was disordered, rolling up a whirlpool of mist.
When the mist was about to pounce on Ci Gu, it seemed to have eyes, and it automatically separated the two sides.
Su Dawei's heart moved slightly, but he asked, "The results of the autopsy?" ”
"Fluid in the lungs of the deceased."
Aunt Ci said in a cold voice: "It's drowning." ”
