In the fourth year of Yonghui, Gao Yang was deposed as a commoner for the case of a rebellion in the court and demoted to Bazhou.

After eleven years of separation, I finally returned to Chang'an in the first year of Linde, the Tang Dynasty.

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

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

Even though he didn't want to cause trouble, he had already come to him.

There is no doubt.

Su Dawei was most suspicious of Gao Yang's death.

Su Dawei felt much pressure at this moment.

There seemed to be a big iron vertebra next to the ear, pounding the head one after another.

Si time is correct.

After Li Zhi finished the morning court, he summoned everyone in Zichen Hall.

Su Dawei stood in His Highness, calming down and looking solemn.

In addition to the officials of Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple standing beside them, there are also important officials such as Li Yi Mansion, Xu Jingzong, Shangguan Yi and the Secret Pavilion doctor Li Chunfeng.

The silence lasted for a long time.

Finally, Li Zhi's voice broke the ice.

"What do you mean by Gao Yang's affairs?"

Dali Temple Minister Pei Lian wiped the sweat beads from his head.

The spring was chilly and the cold had not yet passed, but he was sweating.

Since the emperor asked a question, two people present could not escape the fate of replying.

One is Zongzheng Temple. The matter behind Princess Gaoyang must be managed by Zongzheng Temple.

Another more important thing is Dali Temple. The important responsibility for solving the case will undoubtedly fall on the Dali Temple.

"His Majesty……"

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

"How long will it take?"

Li Zhi, who had always been calm, spoke up and interrupted Pei Lian's words.

Pei Lian was stunned for a moment and reacted: "Your Majesty is asking about the time to solve the case? This is because I have not seen the files and physical evidence of this case, so I cannot confirm it..."

"I'll give you half a month to find the murderer who killed Gao Yang. Are you sure?"

Pei Lian's eyes showed a sense of panic.

Although Li Zhi was talking about asking, the meaning of the words was to give the bottom line.

If the case cannot be solved for more than half a month, Pei Lian, the position of the Dali Temple Minister, will be afraid that it will end.

By then, I don’t know how many people will take off their official hats and even blood flows into a river.

Pei Lian's Adam's apple squirmed for a while and did not dare to answer for a while.

"What? Could it be that half a month is not enough?" Li Zhi's face darkened and his voice became colder.

"Your Majesty, Su Dawei is present in the palace for solving the case. I think Your Majesty should listen to his opinions."

Pei Lian was frightened and kicked the ball out in time.

If the case is solved, there is such a good target for the blame for the ready-made case.

I heard that Su Dawei visited Princess Gaoyang's house yesterday, and he was the only one who had ever seen the princess.

Since then, no one has ever seen anyone come in and out of the Jinwu Guard guarding the Princess's Mansion again.

If it is said to be suspicious, Su Dawei is the most suspicious.

If we talk about solving the case, in addition to Di Renjie who was surprised to see in Chang'an, there is also Pei Xingjian who was far away in the Western Regions.

Looking at Chang'an, Su Dawei's ability to solve cases is also outstanding.

He just took the blame.

Sure enough, with Pei Lian's quick wisdom, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Su Dawei.

It made him feel like he was on his back.

In my heart, I secretly "give" Pei Lian a greeting.

Su Dawei lowered his head, but he could feel that Li Zhi, who was sitting in the upper head in the hall, his eyes were penetrated by the faint smoke and staring at him.

"Su Dawei."

"I'm here."

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

Su Dawei looked up and said, "I have also investigated the case of Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai back then. When I saw the princess on Zhuque Street yesterday, I realized that Your Majesty’s emperor’s grace was so great that he had pardoned the princess’s crimes.

I never thought that the princess suffered such a bad luck as soon as she returned to Chang'an...

I beg Your Majesty to punish the murderers severely to comfort Princess Gaoyang and the spirit in heaven."

These words were said in a loud and powerful manner.

When we first mentioned the case eleven years ago, we were actually reminding Li Zhi in a vague way.

If Su Dawei had not intervened in the past and collected evidence for Gao Yang and the others, I was afraid that Changsun Wuji would have ordered him to commit suicide long ago.

There would be no future for Princess Gaoyang.

To a certain extent, Su Dawei is Gao Yang's "life-saving benefactor".

Then now I will not kill the princess for no reason.

As for the subsequent scenes, Su Dawei would never take the initiative to solve the case, nor would he take the initiative to recruit this matter to himself.

First, to avoid suspicion.

Second, this matter should be handled by Dali Temple.

Just now, Pei Lian was not so generous and liked to take the blame for others.

Li Zhi chewed Su Dawei's words carefully, and did not say good or bad.

His fingers tapped on the handrail gently, and said in a deep voice: "Gaoyang and I have grown up together and have a deep relationship. I forgive her for her sins this time. I originally wanted Gaoyang to spend the rest of my life in peace, but unexpectedly, this would happen.

I feel very sad, I am sorry to Emperor Taizong..."

"His Majesty!"

Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others who were standing on both sides hurriedly saluted Li Zhi and advised: "Your Majesty should take care of the dragon body. Princess Gaoyang is responsible for finding out for the matter of Baiyue. If he fails, he will be punished."

"His Majesty!"

Pei Lian was shocked when he heard this, and even the eighteen generations of ancestors such as Xu Jingzong were scolded.

It is clear that the princess’ case is a hot potato, and whoever takes it will be unlucky.

At that time, it may not only be a problem of losing official positions, but also a bad one, I am afraid that my head will not be able to be saved.

What is Princess Gaoyang?

Even if she dares to kill her, how can this case be simple?

The water behind it is deep!

"Your Majesty, as the Minister of Dali Temple, I have no choice but to investigate Princess Gaoyang's case. However, the case of Dali Temple is already busy, and I am good at employing people and personally investigating the case, but I am not the director of the matter..."

He licked his lips and said in a hurry without waiting for others to interrupt him: "Now everyone in Chang'an knows that Su Dawei is a bad commander and solves the case as a god. I ask Your Majesty to help Su Dawei investigate the case.

In addition, Su Dawei was the last person to meet the princess yesterday. I think it is necessary for him to personally investigate the murderer and prove his innocence."

"Dali Temple Minister."

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

"Su Shuai, I remember that the last time you assassinated was also investigated by Su Shuai yourself, and I didn't see Su Shuai avoiding suspicion."

"this……"

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment.

This sentence forced a person to a dead end.

You can't say that the case was asked by Your Majesty to investigate, right?

It is even more impossible to tell Li Zhi and the officials that I did not find the murderer in the case.

Isn’t this a slap in the face by yourself?

Moreover, Li Zhi was involved in the case that day. Even though Su Dawei had suspicions and evidence, he had to take the blame for Li Zhi at that time.

But who is you Pei Lian?

What a case you can't solve, just want to take the blame together?

It's outrageous!

Su Dawei looked at the Dali Temple Minister, his eyes showing a coldness.

Li Zhi's voice rang out in time.

"What do you think is what the ministers think if Su Dawei assists Dali Temple in investigating this case?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, I think this matter is feasible."

"Su Dawei solved many cases in the past, and heard that he had quite some means, so he asked him to assist Pei Lian in investigating the case. If the criminal cannot be caught, he will be punished together."

This is what Li Yifu said.

"I also think that Su Dawei should be helped. The princess was killed. This is a big deal. Since there is a person who can decide the case, how can he not use it?" Shangguan Yi continued.

Except for Li Chunfeng who was stroking his beard and pondering without expressing his opinion, the important officials 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 bitter smile in my heart.

It seems that the trouble this time is not to be eliminated.

Li Zhi's eyes fell on Su Dawei through the fragrance mist: "I have decided, Su Dawei, you are also suspicious of this case. I will now give you the opportunity to prove your innocence and help Pei Lian investigate the case.

I will give you half a month. If you cannot catch the murderer, I will punish you for multiple crimes."

Li Zhi's voice was very calm.

But the calmer he was, the more he showed his determination.

Su Dawei felt a stern, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to investigate this case, I am not sure, but I am now just a bad commander in Chang'an. The princess incident occurred in Wannian County, not in Chang'an County..."

Li Yifu smiled sinisterly from the side: "Su Shuai, it's not good to be too humble. Who else can you do this case? Who doesn't know about Chang'an? Su Shuai's case is like a god?"

Su Dawei was smiling on his face, his eyes swept over Li Yi's mansion, and his heart was filled with secret hatred.

"Your Majesty, if you are determined to solve this case, I would like to ask Your Majesty to vassal the official position of Dali Temple. If the name is not right, then the words will be unsatisfactory."

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

Including Pei Lian, they were silent, obviously acquiesced.

If you want to call the horse to run, you have to feed the horse.

According to Su Dawei's contribution to Baekje, he was actually enough to receive a real-time reward.

According to Li Zhichao's practice, even if he is a real senior official, there is no problem.

But Li Zhi insisted on suppressing Su Dawei and demoted him to Chang'an County to continue to be a bad commander.

The reward was also granted only a general Zhongwu with a virtual title.

Now that Su Dawei is asking the case of Princess Gaoyang, it is clearly a big trouble.

If you don't do it well, you will be beaten to the end, demoted to a commoner or even lost your head.

Under this premise, it is reasonable for Su Dawei to treat him at this time.

“Well.”

Li Zhi didn't understand for a moment that Su Dawei was angry or had other ideas.

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

"I will give you the title of Shaoqing of Dali Temple and order you to join Pei Lian to investigate the murder of Princess Gaoyang. I will see the result within half a month.

If the case cannot be solved when it expires, your skin should be taken off."

Li Zhi said a pun.

The threat in the words is obvious.

Su Dawei's eyes flashed slightly and he bowed to Li Zhi and said, "I will receive the order."

Shaoqing of Dali Temple?

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

The rank of the fourth rank is from the fourth rank.

According to this level, it is slightly lower than Su Dawei's current military generals and general Zhongwu under the fourth rank.

But the official position cannot be just on paper.

General Zhongwu only has a false title.

How can I compare to the actual position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
