In the fourth year of Yonghui, Gao Yang was deposed as a concubine because of the rebellion case of Fang's bereaved love and was demoted to Bazhou.

After eleven years of separation, he finally returned to Chang'an in the first year of Datang Linde.

But on the second day after returning to Chang'an, he was found dead.

And Su Dawei was the only guest who visited Princess Gaoyang during this period.

Even though he didn't want to get into trouble, Fei had already taken the initiative to find him.

No doubt.

Gao Yang's death, Su Dawei is the biggest suspect.

Su Dawei felt pressure at this moment.

There seemed to be a big iron vertebrae next to his ear, tapping his head again and again.

The time is right.

Li ruled the early dynasty and summoned everyone to the Zichen Palace.

Su Dawei stood under His Royal Highness, holding his breath and calm, with a solemn expression.

In addition to the officials of Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple standing on the side, there are also important ministers such as Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Shangguanyi and Li Chunfeng in the secret pavilion.

The silence lasted for a long time.

Finally, Li Zhi's voice broke the ice.

"What do you have to say about Gaoyang?"

Pei Lian, the secretary of Dali Temple, wiped the beads of sweat on his head.

The spring cold is steep, and the cold has not gone away, but he is sweating.

Since the emperor asked, there were two people present who could not escape the fate of replying.

One is Zongzheng Temple, about the aftermath of Princess Gaoyang, which has to be handled by Zongzheng Temple.

Another more important is Dali Temple, and the heavy responsibility for solving the case will undoubtedly fall on the head of Dali Temple.

"Your Majesty......"

Pei Lian wiped his sweat and considered the words: "The princess's case should be handled by my Dali Temple, and I ask Your Majesty to ......."

"How long?"

Li Zhi, who has always been calm, opened his mouth to interrupt Pei Lian's unfinished words.

Pei Lian was stunned for a moment and reacted: "Your Majesty is asking when to solve the case?" The minister has not seen the file and physical evidence of this case, so he cannot confirm it......"

"I give you half a month to find the murderer of Gao Yang, are you sure?"

Pei Lian's eyes revealed a kind of trepidation.

Although what Li Zhi said was an inquiry, the meaning of his words was to give the bottom line.

If the case can't be solved for more than half a month, Pei Lian, the position of Dali Siqing, is afraid that it will come to an end.

At that time, I don't know how many people will take off their official hats, and even blood will flow like a river.

Pei Lian's Adam's apple squirmed, and he didn't dare to answer for a while.

"What? Isn't half a month enough? Li Zhi's face sank, and his voice became cold.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to solving the case, Su Dawei is in the palace, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should listen to his opinion."

Pei Lian panicked and kicked the ball out in time.

If you talk about solving the case, there is such a good backing object ready-made.

I heard that Su Dawei went to Princess Gaoyang's house yesterday, and he was the only one who went to see the princess.

Since then, Jin Wuwei, who guards the princess's mansion, has never seen anyone enter or leave again.

If you talk about suspicion, Su Dawei is the most suspicious.

If you talk about solving the case, in addition to Di Renjie, who had a glimpse in Chang'an, there is also Pei Xingjian, who is far away in the Western Regions.

Looking at Chang'an, Su Dawei's ability to solve cases also stands out from the crowd.

This pot, just give him the right back.

Sure enough, with Pei Lian's urgency, the eyes of everyone in the palace suddenly focused on Su Dawei's body.

It made him feel like a man on his back.

secretly "greeted" Pei Lian in his heart.

Su Dawei lowered his head, but he could feel that Li Zhi, who was sitting at the top of the hall, was staring at himself through the faint smoke.

"Su Dawei."

"The minister is here."

"What do you have to say about Gao Yang?"

Su Dawei raised his head and said: "The case of Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yuai's love back then, the minister also had a part in the investigation, and I saw the princess on Suzaku Street yesterday, and I knew that His Majesty had a great grace and had pardoned the princess's sins.

never thought that the princess would suffer such bad luck when she returned to Chang'an......

The minister implored His Majesty to severely punish the murderers in order to comfort Princess Gaoyang, the spirit of heaven. ”

These words were said sonorously and powerfully.

began to mention the case eleven years ago, in fact, it was also a subtle reminder to Li Zhi.

If Su Dawei hadn't intervened and collected evidence for Gao Yang and them, I was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would have ordered him to commit suicide.

There will be no future of Princess Gaoyang.

To some extent, Su Dawei can be regarded as Gao Yang's "life-saving benefactor".

Then now I won't kill the princess for no reason.

As for the later scenes, Su Dawei will never take the initiative to mention the matter of solving the case, and he will not take the initiative to recruit this matter to himself.

One is to avoid suspicion.

Second, this matter should be handled by Dali Temple.

Just now Pei Lian threw the pot at him, he was not so generous, and he liked to take the pot for others.

Li Zhi chewed Su Dawei's words carefully, but he didn't say good, nor did he say bad.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and he said in a deep voice: "Gao Yang and I have grown up together since childhood, and they have a deep relationship, I forgave her sins this time, I thought that Gao Yang could spend the rest of her life in peace, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

My heart hurts, I'm sorry for Emperor Taizong......"

"Your Majesty!"

Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others, who were standing on both sides, hurriedly saluted Li Zhi and persuaded him: "Your Majesty should take care of the dragon body, and the matter of Princess Gaoyang will be instructed to Pei Lian Banyue to find out, and if he can't do it, he will be convicted again." ”

"Your Majesty!"

When Pei Lian heard this, he was startled, and even scolded Xu Jingzong and the eighteenth generation ancestors of Xu Jingzong and others in his heart.

It is clear that the princess's case is a hot potato, and whoever picks it up is unlucky.

At that time, I am afraid that it will not only be a matter of losing my official position, but I am afraid that I will not be able to save my head.

What is the identity of Princess Goyang?

Even she dared to kill, how could this case be simple.

The water behind it is deep!

"Your Majesty, as the secretary of Dali Temple, it is the duty of the minister to investigate the case of Princess Gaoyang, but the case of Dali Temple is already busy, and the minister is good at employing people, and he goes to the case to investigate the case in person, not the minister's director......"

Licking his lips, without waiting for others to interrupt, he hurriedly said: "Now everyone in Chang'an knows that Su Dawei is a bad handsome man and solves the case like a god, and the minister asks His Majesty to allow Su Dawei to assist in the investigation of the case."

In addition, Su Dawei was the last person to see the princess yesterday, and the minister thought that it was necessary for him to find out the murderer in person and prove his innocence. ”

"Dali Temple."

Su Dawei said in a deep voice: "Since I am a suspect, I should avoid suspicion, I am just a little bad handsome, this case involves a princess, so it is not my turn to investigate." ”

"Su Shuai, this Siqing remembers that the last time the assassination of you was also investigated by Su Shuai, and I didn't see Su Shuai avoid suspicion."

"This ......"

Su Dawei was dumbfounded for a while.

These words have driven people into a corner.

You can't say that the case was asked by His Majesty to be investigated, right?

You can't even say in front of Li Zhi and the ministers that Lao Tzu didn't find out the murderer in that case.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Moreover, Li Zhi was always implicated in the case that day, and even if Su Dawei had doubts and evidence, he had to carry the pot for Li Zhi at that time.

But who are you Pei Lian?

Why don't you solve a case that you can't solve, so you want to drag me into the water and take the blame together?

Outrageous!

Su Dawei looked at this Dali Siqing, and his eyes showed coldness.

Li Zhi's voice sounded at the right time.

"Ordered Su Dawei to assist Dali Temple and investigate this case, what do the ministers think?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is feasible."

"Su Dawei has solved a lot of cases in the past, and when he heard that he had a lot of means, he asked him to assist Pei Lian in investigating the case, and if the prisoner could not be caught by then, he would be punished again."

This is what Li Yifu said.

"The minister also thinks that Su Dawei should be assisted, the princess was killed, this matter is not trivial, since the case can be judged here, how can you not use it?" Shangguan Yi continued.

Except for Li Chunfeng who stroked his beard and groaned on the side and did not express his position, the important ministers of Li Zhichao who were present unanimously agreed to let Su Dawei investigate the case and prove his innocence.

Su Dawei's Adam's apple squirmed slightly.

There is only a wry smile in my heart.

It seems that this trouble cannot be shaken off.

Li Zhi's gaze, through the incense mist, fell on Su Dawei: "I have made up my mind, Su Dawei, you are also suspicious in this case, I now give you the opportunity to prove your innocence and assist Pei Lian in investigating this case."

Give you half a month, and if you can't catch the murderer by then, I will punish you for several crimes. ”

Li Zhi's voice was calm.

But the calmer he was, the more he was determined.

Su Dawei's heart sank, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty ordered the minister to investigate this case, and the minister has nothing to do, but the minister is only a bad handsome man in Chang'an now, and the princess incident happened in Wannian County, not the jurisdiction of Chang'an County......"

Li Yifu smiled gloomily on the side: "Su Shuai, it's not good to be too modest, who are you to do in this case?" Who doesn't know in Chang'an, Su Shuai is like a god in judging the case? ”

Su Dawei was smiling on his face, his eyes swept over Li Yifu, and his heart was full of hatred.

"Your Majesty, if you want the minister to solve this case, the minister will ask Your Majesty to serve as an official in Dali Temple, and if the name is not right, it will not be good."

Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Shangguan Yi and others had nothing to say.

Including Pei Lian, they were all silent, obviously acquiescing.

If you want to make the horses run, you have to give them grass.

According to Su Dawei's merits in Baekje, it is actually enough to be rewarded for his actual work.

Li Zhichao's practice, even if he is a genuine high-ranking official, there is no problem.

But Li Zhi wanted to press it and demote Su Dawei to Chang'an County to continue to be a bad handsome.

The reward was only awarded to a loyal general with a false title.

Now he has ordered Su Dawei to investigate the case of Princess Gaoyang, which is clearly a big trouble.

If you don't get it right, you will be swept to the end, and it is possible to be demoted to a commoner or even lose your head.

Under this premise, it is reasonable for Su Dawei to ask for treatment at this time.

"That's fine."

Li Zhi didn't understand Su Dawei's angry words for a while, or if he had other ideas.

He pondered for a moment, after all, he wanted to find out the murderer for Gao Yang, and suppressed the power calculation.

"I will make you the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and I will order you and Pei Lian to investigate the murder of Princess Gaoyang, and I will see the results within half a month.

If you can't solve the case by the expiration date, you should take off your skin. ”

Li Zhi made a pun.

The threat in the words was obvious.

Su Dawei's eyes flashed slightly, and he saluted Li Zhi and said, "Minister, lead the order." ”

Shaoqing of Dali Temple?

It seems that Di Renjie later did an official position in Dali Temple.

The rank is from the fourth grade.

According to this grade, it is slightly lower than Su Dawei's current military generals and loyal generals under the fourth grade.

But official positions cannot be seen only on paper.

General Chungmu is just a fictitious title.

How can it be compared to the actual position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

The powers of the two are not the same.
