Chapter 1347 Bloody Massacre of Thousand Crossings
Su Wuming returned to Chang'an safely and naturally began to investigate the case as quickly as possible. He also found that this case was really strange in every way.

As Di Renjie's direct disciple, Su Wuming was naturally a mature person. He immediately understood that it was another political struggle between those bigwigs.

To be fair, Su Wuming really hates the power struggle in the court and feels that such political struggle is the dirtiest thing in the world.

However, now his good friend Lu Lingfeng is missing, so he can't help but put aside all distractions and face the challenge.

Then Su Wuming carefully read the detective notes left by Lu Lingfeng. This detective notebook recorded Lu Lingfeng's case analysis in detail, and he deeply felt that Lu Lingfeng had grown into an outstanding detective.

Suddenly I felt something strange beside me, and when I turned around, I saw Cherry standing next to me, her face full of curiosity and dissatisfaction.

Su Wuming naturally felt a little strange at this time, so he asked, "Cherry, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yingtao asked, "Su Wuming, why did you break your vow of seclusion and instead take on this ridiculous position as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple?"

Su Wuming smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "I have no choice! I beg you to help me investigate this matter using underworld methods."

"Oh! Well! It seems that I have boarded your pirate ship in this life."

"..." At this time, Su Wuming naturally heard the double entendre of Cherry, but he did not take it to heart because he was concerned about the safety of his good friend Lu Lingfeng.

……

On the other side, Lao Jia and others wanted to capture the person who impersonated Su Wuming, but were shocked to find that the person was actually Su Wuming himself, and a misunderstanding was resolved.

Things in the world are changing, Su Wuming and Yingtao join hands again to embark on a new journey together.

Su Wuming accidentally met three brothers who called themselves "followers of the detective" in the market. They enthusiastically praised Su Wuming as a real detective and also became loyal fans of "Detective Di Renjie", which surprised Su Wuming himself.

The three brothers Chang Fang, Chen Shi and Zhang Qian are full of expectations, hoping to fight side by side with Su Wuming again to jointly uncover the mystery of the case.

In order to fulfill their wishes, Su Wuming decided to lead this group of like-minded brothers to the legendary ghost market, where countless secrets and clues are hidden.

After searching for a while, they locked onto a suspicious old man and learned clues about the dead body on the ground through questioning.

Su Wuming quickly took out Lu Lingfeng's portrait for comparison. After confirming that the deceased was not Lu Lingfeng, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

Afterwards, Su Wuming immediately returned to the witness's home with the portrait. With some clever guidance, the elderly witness began to doubt the authenticity of the portrait.

Su Wuming took this opportunity to reveal that the court painter might have created the portrait based on the image in the Jingjiang temple murals, which led to the misunderstanding and indirectly affected Lu Lingfeng's current disappearance.

After carefully examining the four mythical beasts on the temple mural, Su Wuming exclaimed with deep emotion, "It's truly incredible! This mural is truly a work of art beyond compare. These mythical beasts depicted here are more suited to existing in legends."

At the same time, he also praised Qin Xiaobai's painting skills, especially the creativity and technique of incorporating Chinese elements into Buddhist murals, which was truly breathtaking. Then he gave a long speech quoting from classics.

However, the reason why he did this unexpectedly was to successfully attract the favor of the key figure Qin Xiaobai, because only in this way could he obtain useful clues as soon as possible.

Sure enough, before Su Wuming finished his slightly corny and flattering words, Qin Xiaobai, who was handsome yet a little stubborn, walked into the scene.

Qin Xiaobai naturally heard Su Wuming's flattery, but he suppressed his inner joy and pride and pretended to be calm, and walked straight forward to continue painting.

Unfortunately, he still had no inspiration for the "eye-pointing" technique this time, and deliberately scolded his fellow apprentice beside him, causing chaos in the main hall of Chengfo Temple.

Sun Wang's father, who was in the crowd in the main hall of Chengfo Temple, mistakenly thought that Qin Xiaobai was the murderer of his son. He was so excited that he wanted to use violence to avenge his son.

At the critical moment, Su Wuming stepped forward and said, "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you commit a crime in public?"

As expected, the old man, unable to kill Qin Xiaobai, burst into tears. He then sobbed and explained in a broken voice, "Wuwuwu... Sir, I am Sun Wang's father. It was this mural artist and this demonic transformation that harmed my son. I will kill him and destroy the mural to avenge my son."

"Old man, I understand your grief, but it is nonsense to say that the devil broke out of the wall and killed people. It is obvious that someone is deliberately confusing us." Although Su Wuming felt very sorry for the old man's grief of losing his son, he still persuaded the old man very rationally.

"That's right! The person who is confusing everyone is Qin Xiaobai."

"No! Old man, there is no evidence to prove that it was Qin Xiaobai who did it."

"Then... who is the murderer?" The old man with tears and snot looked at Su Wuming in front of him blankly and asked.

"Old man, I firmly believe that there are no ghosts or gods in this world. I swear to find the real culprit and comfort your son who was killed by this evil person."

"Sir, I'll leave you in the hands of me." Then the old man bowed deeply to Su Wuming.

"Old man, you are too kind! I am Su Wuming, the acting Shaoqing of the Dali Temple of the Tang Dynasty. Investigating cases is my own responsibility."

"..."

The situation was finally settled with Su Wuming's eloquence, but Qin Xiaobai was not grateful for Su Wuming's help. In his heart, he believed that art should not be bound by any emotions, but unfortunately he did not realize that he himself was a moody and manic person.

Seeing Qin Xiaobai's unusually cold attitude, Su Wuming secretly planned to get close to this talented painter, because he always felt that this mural painter was involved in this case.

Of course, Qin Xiaobai was no ordinary person. He naturally understood Su Wuming's intention. After politely thanking him, he resolutely left, leaving Su Wuming alone to ponder, and of course, the disappointed onlookers in the main hall of Chengfo Temple were also there.

Next, Su Wuming secretly deployed personnel to monitor Qin Xiaobai's whereabouts to ensure his safety and the smooth progress of the investigation. He also specifically warned the followers to act with caution, because Qin Xiaobai has an arrogant personality and may have an extreme reaction if he finds out he is being monitored.

However, this incident angered the hot-tempered Princess Taiping. She was deeply angry at those who hindered the painter's creation and ignored Su Wuming's authority. At the same time, she was even more worried about the safety of her own beloved son Lu Lingfeng.

……

On the other hand, Lu Lingfeng survived with the help of Lao Fei, but he felt complicated after learning the news of Guo Zhuang's "resurrection".

Through investigation, Su Wuming discovered that Sun Wang's death was related to Mrs. Ma, so he approached Mrs. Ma under the name of Lu Lingfeng and tried to get clues.

Mrs. Ma saw through his intention, but cleverly led Su Wuming to the BMW, intending to change the subject.

At the same time, Chang Fang, Chen Shi and Zhang Qian became increasingly wary of Su Wuming. After all, they were just acting on impulse and were not prepared to lose their lives in order to solve the case, so they tried to hide.

Su Wuming went to the ghost market alone to find the whereabouts of Lu Lingfeng.

After some effort, he finally learned the news about Lao Fei from the little beggar and forced him to lead the way.

Facing Guo Zhuang's "corpse", Lu Lingfeng was filled with self-blame and regret. He hated his own incompetence and decided to take Guo Zhuang away alone. When Lao Fei discovered that Lu Lingfeng was missing, he immediately reported it.

Finally, Jinwu Guard General Lu Tong found the unconscious Lu Lingfeng. However, before he lost consciousness, Lu Lingfeng blamed himself and said, "General, I am really sorry for Guo Zhuang. It was my willfulness and incompetence that ruined him."

"Alas... a general dies in a hundred battles, a warrior returns after ten years, this is the fate of us soldiers." Jinwu Guard General Lu Tong said something full of sadness.

"..."

However, Lu Lingfeng, who had fallen into a coma at this time, did not hear it. It was really because of the heavy blow this time that he was physically and mentally exhausted. This was the first time in his life that he faced such a severe setback.

……

At this time, Su Ning and Pei Xijun continued on their journey under the protection of their personal troops, without any worries about the affairs of the Mo family store.

On the way, the stunning scenery of the Western Regions naturally attracted the attention of Suning and Pei Xijun, who felt that this was a true paradise on earth.

Pei Xijun, sitting in the carriage, was fascinated by the beautiful scenery along the way. "Suning, the Western Regions are truly beautiful."

"Haha, I have a feeling we might be staying in the Western Regions for a long time. There will be plenty of time for you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Western Regions."

"Oh? So you're planning to take root in the Western Regions?"

"That's right! Since my weakness is that I don't have a powerful family to help and support me, then I will personally create a Su family in this world."

"Uh……"

Pei Xijun naturally could not understand Suning's thinking, but he also realized the reason why Suning was so lustful. It turned out that his main purpose was to reproduce offspring.

Then Pei Xijun sighed helplessly, and then followed silently without saying a word. Perhaps this is what is called the husband sings and the wife follows.

After several days of trekking, Suning, Pei Xijun and others finally arrived at Qianchongdu.

Everyone wanted to cross the river immediately, but the boatman in front of them told them that there was no boat available.

Moreover, the boatman's strange look revealed a heart-pounding chill, making everyone present feel uneasy.

This situation adds to the difficulty and uncertainty of the journey.

Pei Xijun was wary of everything he had encountered along the way, so he naturally noticed something unusual about Qianchong Ferry. "Suning, why do I feel like something is so strange here?"

"That's right! Next I will completely wipe out this place." However, at this time Suning said with a sneer on his face.

"what?"

"..." Then Su Ning did not explain too much to Pei Xijun, Dou Cong and others, but continued to move forward with the guards.

Suning was not a drunkard like Master Fei Ji in the original drama, so he was naturally indifferent to the tavern next to him. Instead, he went straight to the ferry of Qianchongdu.

At this time, there was an old ferry soldier lying leisurely on a recliner at the ferry, giving people a very arrogant feeling.

However, Suning winked at the guard beside him, and the guard who received Suning's order stepped forward and kicked the leisurely old Jin soldier to the ground...

With a "plop", Lao Jinzu fell heavily into the Yellow River. The cold water of the Yellow River naturally made him much more sober, and he realized that Suning and his group were definitely here to cause trouble.

The old soldier, soaking wet, climbed ashore again and asked angrily, "Ah...you...who are you? Why are you so rude?"

The guards on the side, however, turned around and scolded the old Jin soldier, "You bold lunatic! This is the newly appointed Grand Commander of Hanzhou. How dare you, an old Jin soldier, be so arrogant and domineering? Do you really think the sword in my hand is useless?"

"..." As expected, the old guard revealed a fleeting look of fear and bloodthirstiness. Then, struggling to suppress his inner anger, he pretended to be apprehensive and explained, "Ah? Please don't blame me, Grand Commander! This is all a misunderstanding! I am indeed an old guard at Qianchong Ferry. There are no official ships plying the Yellow River at this time, so I ask the Grand Commander to patiently wait until tomorrow morning. There is an inn at Qianchong Ferry for you to rest."

However, at this moment, Su Ning sneered at the old soldier in front of him and said, "Old man, I had already arranged spies before I came to Hanzhou in the Western Regions to take office. They know everything about what you, your son, and your men have done, so don't waste your acting skills in front of me anymore."

"Ah... Commander-in-Chief, I don't understand what you are saying. I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here?" The old soldier from Jin tried to suppress his inner panic and explained with a smile.

"Hmph! Although you were fortunate enough to be rescued by the Duke of Yan, he was tragically murdered by the imperial court. That's why you harbor resentment towards the Tang court and vow to avenge him. However, you absolutely should not have committed such murder and robbery in Qianchongdu. Today, I will strangle all of you desperadoes."

"Haha, since you, Grand Commander, already know everything, I won't continue acting. Acting is so fucking tiring! But today, even if I die, I will break a few of your teeth."

"Humph! It's too much."

At this time, the old soldier shouted towards the tavern, "Stop hiding, you son of a bitch! Work together with your father to kill these people."

"Yes! Father." Immediately afterwards, Ozuzu brought a large group of people to surround Suning and others.

However, Suning didn't need to take any action to deal with this mob; his guards easily killed them all.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the old Jin soldier became frantic, "Damn it! We are all members of the Taiyin Society. The gods will avenge us next."

"Noisy!"

At this time, Suning was naturally disgusted by the madness of the old Jin soldier in front of him. He snatched the Tang horizontal sword from the hand of the guard beside him, and with a light wave, he chopped off the old Jin soldier's head.

Suning naturally knew long ago that there might be a huge organization, the Taiyin Society, hidden behind this, but he didn't care at all.

Pei Xijun once again transformed into a curious baby and looked at the king beside him and asked, "Suning, what the hell is this Taiyin Society?"

"Tsk! They are just a bunch of bandits hiding in the Yin Mountains, and they are the remnants of the former Western Region bandit Duan Gui." However, Su Ning's tone was full of disdain. The people of Taiyin Society were the stupidest rebels.

"Ah? Doesn't that belong to Hanzhou territory?"

"That's right! So this time coming to Hanzhou to take up this post is really interesting."

"..."
