After Wu Chengsi entered the Li Mansion, he was given a grand welcome by the Li family and had dinner with the Li family in the outer hall. In addition to Li Ji, Li Siwen and Li Zhiying, there was also Xue Yujin at the dinner.
At the dinner table, both Li Ji and Li Siwen were extremely enthusiastic about Wu Chengsi. While drinking, they chatted about various topics, ranging from national affairs to life hobbies.
After learning that Wu Chengsi loved to play chess, Li Siwen also gave him a Go set. The chess pieces were all made of white marble and black onyx.
In contrast, Li Zhiying and Xue Yujin were both very silent at the dinner table, not saying a word. Li Siwen winked at his niece several times, but she turned a blind eye.
Li Ji just thought his granddaughter was shy. After dinner, he left the table early and asked Wu Chengsi to accompany Li Zhiying for a walk in the back garden. Logically speaking, Xue Yujin should avoid it at this time, but she followed him anyway.
When the three of them left the hall and entered the back garden, Xue Yujin deliberately stood between the two of them, wanting to anger Wu Chengsi, but she didn't know that Wu Chengsi started talking to her instead.
"Miss Xue, I remember you said before that you met a group of Koreans and heard a few names from their mouths, right?"
Xue Yujin looked at him in astonishment and thought to herself: "If you don't think of a way to please Zhiying quickly, why do you mention this suddenly?" He nodded stiffly and said, "It's true."
Wu Chengsi asked again: "I wonder which names you heard?"
"Pei Xingjian, Black Teeth Changzhi, Lu Zhining, and Cui Baosheng!" Xue Yujin said impatiently.
Her casual words fell into Wu Chengsi's ears and almost turned him to stone instantly.
The two women walked a few steps, but when they saw that he did not follow, they both looked back at him. Xue Yujin hummed: "Don't you think it's a coincidence that the murderer and the deceased of the Hanlin Academy murder case are both there? I reminded you last time I went there , but you don’t know what’s good or bad, and insist on trying me like a prisoner!”
"It's not the murderer or the deceased. Hei Te Changzhi is not the murderer. He was framed." Wu Chengsi corrected him and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that Pei Shilang's imprisonment was related to this matter. It seems that Cui Baosheng was killed. It’s really not an accident!”
"You said Cui Baosheng is dead?" Xue Yujin exclaimed.
Wu Chengsi nodded.
"So, you have solved the murder case in the Hanlin Academy, right?" Li Zhiying's bejeweled voice sounded.
Wu Chengsi glanced at her, nodded and said: "I can only say that we have figured out the entire case, and the mastermind behind it has not been caught yet."
"Can you tell me?" Li Zhiying asked expectantly.
"Yes, yes, but after telling you, it must be kept secret!"
The two women nodded, and Wu Chengsi briefly described the entire Hanlin Academy case and the details of how the other party framed Hei Te Changzhi.
After hearing this, the two women were both shocked. Xue Yujin rubbed his head and said, "Oh my god, this case is too complicated. How did you solve it? Did Di Renjie discover the truth?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Prime Di Si left Beijing the day before yesterday. I solved this case!"
Xue Yujin looked at him up and down with a look of disbelief. Li Zhiying was afraid that Xue Yujin would anger Wu Chengsi, so she hurriedly asked: "Master Wu, how did Cui Baosheng die?"
Wu Chengsi's face darkened and he told how Cui Baosheng was killed by the tiger.
Xue Yujin was shocked: "This must be an accident, otherwise who can control a tiger to kill people? Unless someone can speak animal language!"
Li Zhiying rolled her eyes at her and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, there must be someone behind this, but we still don't understand how they did it."
Wu Chengsi's face straightened and he said: "Two ladies, Li Yuan's case is in charge of the Chang'an County Government. Although I had some suspicions at first, I didn't know that this case was actually related to the Hanlin Academy case. I was worried that the people behind the scenes would destroy the evidence.
So I have to go to the Chang'an County Government Office immediately and take my leave today." After saying that, he walked towards the gate.
Li Zhiying said hurriedly: "Wait a minute." She quickly rushed to him and said angrily: "It's getting late today and the county government office has closed. There's no point in going now."
Wu Chengsi said disapprovingly: "Then let them open the door again. The case is urgent and we can only disturb the Chang'an County Magistrate."
Li Zhiying smiled and said: "You are really impatient, but if you want to solve the case, instead of going to Wannian County, it is better to meet someone first."
"Who are you meeting?" Wu Chengsi asked curiously.
Li Zhiying glanced at Xue Yujin and said with a smile: "Do you think the person you heard those Koreans talking is really Yujin?"
Wu Chengsi suddenly remembered that Di Renjie had also said at that time that the person who heard the Korean conversation was probably the person Xue Yujin saved. He laughed and said, "So Miss Xue saved someone in your house!"
Li Zhiying thought to herself: "Why is this person's temperament so different from the last time we met?"
But after all, she had only met Wu Chengsi once before, so she didn't think much about it and said, "Of course, the rescue place is less than two miles away from my home, and Yu Jin is my friend, so it should be easy to think of it, right?"
Wu Chengsi saw her winking as she spoke, looking very playful, and his heart warmed, and he hurriedly said: "Then lead the way!"
Li Zhiying smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the guest room. Xue Yujin had been watching the two people talking and thought to herself: "Wu Chengsi has some tricks up his sleeve, and he managed to calm Zhiying down easily." He then stepped forward to follow the two of them.
.
Arriving outside the guest room door, Li Zhiying stepped aside, and Wu Chengsi stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened, and it was a burly young man who opened the door.
Along the way, Wu Chengsi had already heard about this person’s identity from Li Zhiying, and he immediately raised his hands and said, “Brother Su, I’m here to pay you a visit, Wu Chengsi.”
Su Dingjie stood still at the door. After a long while, he said stiffly: "What do you want from me?"
Wu Chengsi said: "This matter is of great importance, and it is related to General Su. Brother Su, can you please let me go in and speak?"
Li Zhiying glanced at him and thought to herself: "It seems that Mr. Wu thinks the same as me and thinks that these cases are all aimed at General Su."
Su Dingjie was silent for a moment, stepped aside and said, "Please come in."
After everyone entered the room, Su Dingjie lit the lamp, and the four of them gathered around the table. Wu Chengsi and the three of them sat down. Only Su Dingjie stood still, folded his arms and said, "You can talk if you have anything to say."
Xue Yujin suddenly felt angry and thought to himself: "This kid is still so ungrateful. We are obviously here to help him, but it seems like we are begging him." He snorted coldly and tilted his head to one side.
Wu Chengsi was thinking about the case and did not think too much about it. He said in a deep voice: "Brother Su, I heard from Miss Zhiying that you heard those Koreans mentioned four names, namely Pei Xingjian, Lu Zhining, Hei Te Changzhi and Cui Baosheng.
, is there such a thing?”
Su Dingjie's heart trembled, and he nodded and said, "Yes."
Wu Chengsi said: "Besides these four people, did you hear anything else?"
Su Dingfang sat down and frowned: "Those people kept speaking Korean, and I could only understand a few Tang names they mentioned. Later, I thought about it carefully and found that they mentioned five names in total, and only
It's a pity that I really can't remember the last name. I only know that the surname is Gao, which doesn't sound like a name from the Central Plains!"
Wu Chengsi's thoughts were racing and he asked in surprise: "Could it be Gao Funan?"
Su Dingfang slapped the table and shouted: "Yes, Gao Funan, that's the name!"
Wu Chengsi stood up and said anxiously: "I'm afraid this man is in danger, I'm going to find him now." After saying that, he ran out the door.
"I'll go with you!" Su Dingfang and Xue Yujin said in unison.
Wu Chengsi turned to look at the two of them and said, "Then Miss Xue, please accompany me. Brother Su, your status is inconvenient, so please wait here for now."
Su Dingfang didn't say much and just asked: "Brother Wu, is this related to my grandfather's case?"
Wu Chengsi nodded slightly: "It should be correct. Behind the Hanlin Academy case was the figure of Prince Baekje, and Baekje was destroyed by General Su."
Su Dingjie took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wu, I'll completely depend on you."
