Chapter 1351 Spoiler

Chapter 1351 Spoiler

You should know that this so-called "Tuluo Knife" is similar to the Russian roulette in later generations, and the object of the bet is the most precious life, so the "Tuluo Knife" is strictly prohibited throughout the Tang Dynasty.

So when the lady of the Mo family first proposed to play the "Tuluo Knife", everyone present showed expressions of fear, and in the end only the seemingly reckless Mr. Lan agreed.

It was only because Mr. Lan had a secret desire for the lady of the Mo family. He wanted to taste the delicious pancakes and was extremely eager for the company of the beauty in front of him. Little did he know that they all fell into the trap of the proprietress.

I saw Lan Juzi fiddling with the object in his hand proudly, asking the owner of the Mo family store in front of him to choose between the two, with a face full of confidence that he would win.

Lan Juzi's accomplice Jia Budao watched coldly from the side, and the atmosphere in the Mo family store became subtle for a moment.

However, an accident happened and the proprietress of Mo's store was actually killed. Mr. Jiang who was standing by quickly ran over to support her, his expression also full of complexity.

"Boss lady? Boss lady?"

"..."

At this moment, everyone present had entered the boss lady's game, and they didn't know how to deal with the matter at first. No one realized that this was the boss lady's real purpose, which was to scare away these troublemakers who suddenly appeared and had unknown origins.

Cherry noticed that three more mysterious men appeared quietly at this time, and it was obvious that each of them had extraordinary skills, which made everyone present panic for a moment.

At this time, three mysterious men appeared in front of everyone outside the window, dressed and speaking like officials.

Sure enough, the expressions of everyone present at the Mo family store suddenly changed. The atmosphere was tense and panicked. They all wanted to distance themselves from the murder case and were eager to deny the accusation of murder.

Fortunately, Su Wuming, who was standing by, had an idea and quickly stepped forward. He told the three officers that there were still guest rooms available in the hotel, which directly interrupted everyone who was under pressure to tell everything. He intended to delay time so that everyone in the house could deal with the body.

You have to know that "Tuluo Daozi" is a game that was originally prohibited by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Now a murder has occurred because of the game. It is difficult for everyone present to get rid of suspicion, so the people who were strangers to each other just now have joined forces without any prior agreement.

Then Su Wuming gritted his teeth and led Long Tai into the store. Seeing that the body had been properly hidden, he felt relieved and immediately arranged for Lao Fei to pretend to be a waiter to receive these uninvited guests.

At the same time, Jia Budao and Lan Juzi were still whispering about how to divide the tempting gold cake.

Su Wuming and Lao Fei hurriedly presented the ingredients to the three officers, and they used the mutton-stuffed pancakes that they learned to make in Dugu Town, hoping to calm their doubts. However, these officers who were very observant seemed quite dissatisfied.

Master Fei Ji was worried that the body would be discovered by the police. "This is bad news! This is really bad news! Why did the police show up at this time?"

However, Yingtao, who was standing by, appeared relatively calm. "Old Fei, since it's already happened, there's no need to be overly afraid. Besides, where Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming are, things are bound to happen."

"That's quite right! But I've always felt that there was something odd about this Mo's shop. Don't forget it was the proprietress who insisted on playing the 'Tuluo Knife' game, and it was the proprietress who offered a piece of gold as a bet. And then it was the proprietress who unfortunately got tricked and died while playing with the knife, and then three inexplicable officials showed up. Don't you think all this is a bit too subtle?"

"Old Fei, are you saying that these three officers and the boss lady are in cahoots? Are they deliberately setting a trap for us?"

"It's hard to say! You know, anything is possible in this world. We'd better be careful next time."

"Old Fei, you're right! If these so-called police officers are really in cahoots with the boss lady, I'll definitely kill them all later."

"..."

Mr. Jiang, who then returned to the guest room, revealed to Lu Lingfeng that if the road had not been blocked by heavy snow, he would not have come here, and he did not want to have any contact with the officials because of the murder case.

After Su Wuming temporarily calmed down the group of officials, he noticed the red silk tied on the door of Mo's store. He became suspicious, but remained calm on the surface and only told Lao Fei to close the door as soon as possible.

Although Lao Fei was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow Su Wuming's arrangements and continue to play the role of a waiter.

Su Wuming walked into the kitchen of the store and started to get busy. He glanced around sharply and was quite puzzled by the arrangement of ingredients and dishes in the store. The layout seemed to contain a mystery, and the strange structure of the house made him even more suspicious.

At this moment, a leading officer noticed something unusual in the wine tasting room and quickly signaled his men to remain silent and go out to investigate.

After searching for a while, they only found smoke curling from the chimney, but nothing else unusual, so they returned to continue drinking.

However, just as they were about to leave, one of their men accidentally touched a hidden mechanism while searching for a wine jug, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert, knowing that if the officials discovered the clues, the consequences would be disastrous, so they all prepared to fight to the death.

At this critical moment, Lao Fei thought quickly and appeared with a mutton-filled pancake in his hand, cleverly diverting the attention of the officials and allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, the Sogdian merchant Mi Tuo finished the sacrifice in the shrine and called for the female store manager. Su Wuming took the opportunity to make up a lie to deal with it.

The Sogdian merchant Mi Tuo seemed to have noticed something strange in the store, and immediately thought of the great treasure he had seen. He hurriedly returned to the shrine with the wine and mutton pies without saying a word.

As a veteran in officialdom, Long Tai had noticed something unusual in the store and decided to leave some of his men to stay while he prepared to leave.

However, Jia Budao suddenly appeared, his hands covered in blood, and he looked panicked. "Oh no! Something terrible has happened! Miller was killed in the shrine."

"What?" Su Wuming and the others were naturally overwhelmed with worry and realized that the situation would not be settled tonight.

“…” Then Long Tai claimed to be the county lieutenant and decided to stay to further investigate the situation.

Faced with this murder case closely related to the inn staff, Long Tai asked everyone to explain their whereabouts that night in detail.

Everyone spoke with the same opinion and there seemed to be no flaws, but Long Tai still had doubts about Su Wuming.

Su Wuming had no way to defend himself and had to accept the investigation at Long Tai's pace to prove his innocence.

Su Wuming, Lu Lingfeng and others carefully revealed their identities and sat next to the water tank where the corpse was hidden as requested by Long Tai. Seeing this, Lu Lingfeng couldn't help laughing, especially when Su Wuming actually called himself "Su Lingfeng". Then Lu Lingfeng also announced to Long Tai that his name was "Lu Wuming".

After hearing Su Wuming's heartfelt words about tax evasion, Long Tai actually developed a liking for him. At the same time, it also exposed the true identity of this fake county lieutenant, but the truth of this case is still confusing.

When Long Tai saw that Lao Fei was dressed in rags, he couldn't help but feel pity for him and told Su Wuming to treat him well. Lao Fei took the opportunity to put pressure on Su Wuming.

Long Tai thought of drawing footprints for everyone to identify, and the blue scholar seemed extremely nervous.

Su Wuming took the opportunity to compliment Long Tai on his unique vision. Then, under threat, Lan Juzi hurriedly handed over the treasure, and the case gradually revealed clues.

Seeing that the case was clear, Long Tai naturally wanted to take the suspect away. "Since Mr. Lan is suspected of being the murderer, I want to take him away." Mr. Lan was panicked. "Ah? I, Mr. Lan, am a scholar. How could I possibly kill someone?"

"Hmph! There are no instruments of torture here, or I would have severely whipped you."

"Ah..." Although Mr. Lan tried his best to defend himself, he was still restrained by Long Tai's subordinates.

Long Tai swore to arrest him, bring him back to the county government and punish him according to the law to uphold the law.

At this moment, Mr. Jiang Wei stepped forward and expressed his sincere gratitude to the County Lieutenant Long in front of him. Lu Lingfeng also stood up and echoed him.

Upon hearing this, Long Tai was secretly delighted. Seeing Su Wuming praising him again and again, he couldn't help but feel a little elated and announced proudly that he would manage this place in an orderly manner.

However, at this moment, a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded the Mo family store, which immediately made the atmosphere in the Mo family store become subtle again. Even Long Tai and the other two showed a sudden change of expression.

Then a burly general led a group of soldiers into the Mo family store, and the fierce aura emanating from these soldiers was overwhelming.

The leading general stared expressionlessly at everyone present and asked, "I'm here to work at the Hanzhou Grand Commandery! Who are you all?"

"..." At this time, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng looked at each other in surprise, but neither of them took a step forward.

As expected, the fake county lieutenant Long Tai could only step forward and say, "General, I am the new county lieutenant Long Tai, who is going to Chang'an to take up his post."

"Do you have an official fish talisman?"

"Ah...this..."

"How dare you! How dare you impersonate an official? Come on! Capture him!"

"Yes! General." Sure enough, several strong border soldiers rushed over and controlled Long Tai and the other two.

"..."At this time, Long Tai and the other two did not resist the swords and guns of the Tang army. Instead, they were tied up by the Tang army with pale faces.

The leading general then stared at everyone present and warned, "I don't care who you are or what your purpose is in coming to the Western Regions. You must confess your identities to the Grand Commandery, or else you will be punished by the unforgiving laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes! General."

"Sima Zheng, please take a look at the statistics of these people."

"Yes! Captain Su."

In fact, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng had already quietly discovered the truth that Long Tai was pretending to be a county lieutenant, so they let Long Tai rush in front of everyone just now. However, they did not expect that Su Duwei and others in front of them were so unkind. Then the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and confessed their identities to the border troops.

Soon after, Yingtao, Fei Jishi and others also confessed their identities. Jiang Wei was not willing to be left behind and revealed his true identity as the county lieutenant and the real purpose of his coming to Mo's store.

However, Mr. Lan and Jia Budao still did not confess. After all, they came here to assassinate Lu Lingfeng, and they were lucky enough to think that they had hidden it well.

However, Lan Juzi and Jia Budao did not know that Hanzhou's Grand Commander Suning had already known their identities and had sent troops just to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Then the burly Su Wuming asked Long Tai, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating the Chang'an County Magistrate?"

"Captain Su, my name is indeed Long Tai. My family used to make wine, but due to a treacherous plot, our family was destroyed, and my wife even committed suicide out of hatred.

Although I possess special skills, I have never had the intention to kill anyone. I simply robbed the high-ranking official of his property and then wandered the world with my brothers.

“…” This narration gave everyone present a deeper understanding of Long Tai’s experience.

"Then why did you pretend to be a county lieutenant?"

"I once stole into the household of a genuine county lieutenant. His selfless, simple life and noble character moved me, and I was particularly impressed by his willingness to sacrifice all his wealth to save the victims of a disaster. So, on a whim, I decided to impersonate the county lieutenant and defraud people."

"Humph! You are a rare oddity! I will bring you to the Grand Commander's Mansion next. As for how the Grand Commander will deal with you, we never know."

"Thank you, Captain Su."

Now, the real culprit behind the death of Sogdian merchant Mi Tuo is still at large, and everyone is eager to bring him to justice.

At this moment, Lu Lingfeng solemnly promised that once he officially took office, he would prevent such tragedies from happening again. His firm determination won the deep admiration of Jiang Wei and others.

As night fell, the border troops led by Captain Su and other great commanders did not investigate the case. Instead, they ordered the soldiers to search the entire Mo family store. Sure enough, they soon found all the secret passages of the Mo family store.

At this moment, Su Wuming also realized that they had been tricked by others, "Captain Su, what on earth is going on?"

"Hmph! You're all detectives with countless track records, yet you can't even spot something this simple. This Mo's shop is a scam. Right now, a gang of thieves is stealing treasure from the ruins of the Diamond Temple beneath the Mo's shop."

"Ah?" Everyone at this moment was naturally shocked and stunned. Su Wuming, who was standing aside, suddenly thought of the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.

Then Captain Su ordered the soldiers to open the tank for inspection, and an even more bizarre scene appeared in front of everyone: the rope in the tank was intact, but the body of the Mo family's wife was missing. This scene was really creepy.

After careful observation, Cherry discovered a dark hole at the bottom of the tank, which added a new mystery to the case and made her realize that this Mo's shop was indeed a black shop.

Soon the secret passage hidden in the temple was discovered by the soldiers. At the same time, under the desire and greed on Master Fei Ji's face, Captain Su took away the precious sobering bead that killed Mi Tuo.

Master Fei Ji looked at Captain Su with a flattering smile and asked, "Captain Su, I think this pearl is very beautiful. Can you leave it to me?"

"Master Fei Ji, you don't think that the Grand Marshal's Office doesn't know about such precious sobering beads, right?" However, Captain Su looked at Master Fei Ji with a sneer on his face and asked back.

"what……"

Then Su Wuming suggested entering the secret passage to investigate. However, Captain Su discovered that the ground was soaked in oil, and it was obvious that someone was planning to attack it with fire, so he stopped the reckless behavior of Su Wuming, Lu Lingfeng and others.
