Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 10

Dong Haogu thought he had truthfully stated everything he knew in the court, thinking that he would be free in this way. Unexpectedly, Su Wuming announced that he would be punished with thirty slabs of punishment. He was indignant and impulsive, so he blurted out and asked why.

Su Wuming calmly pointed out that Dong Haogu's behavior had violated many laws. He privately robbed the tomb, which not only destroyed the integrity of the ancient tomb, but also triggered the mechanism in the tomb. This was a serious damage to the national cultural relics and historical heritage. In addition, he secretly smuggled money from the tomb, which is an act of stealing national property and is also unforgivable.

Faced with Su Wuming's accusation, Dong Haogu was speechless. He realized that his crime was serious and he could not excuse himself. He could only silently endure the coming punishment. At this moment, his heart was full of regret and helplessness, but he also understood that this was the consequence he had to bear.

Uncle Duguya was puzzled by Su Wuming's sad face and asked why. Su Wuming pondered for a moment and slowly expressed his doubts. He believes that the case is full of doubts. There are obvious contradictions in the timeline of each person's confession, and it is difficult to justify each other's statements. Especially Chunshan's confession, although fragmentary, seems to hide more critical clues. Coupled with the mysterious disappearance of Lou Qingmai and others, the whole case is even more confusing and full of unpredictability.

After hearing this, Uncle Duguya, instead of being deterred by the complexity of the case, became more and more excited, saying that he was getting better at solving the case and was enjoying it. However, Su Wuming could not hide his worry. He told Uncle Duguya earnestly that his greatest wish was for peace in the world, no cases to be solved, and people to live and work in peace and contentment.

While the two were talking, a rush of footsteps broke the silence. A group of masked men suddenly appeared, targeting Su Wuming in an attempt to kill him. At the critical moment, Lu Lingfeng arrived in time like a magic weapon from heaven and started a fierce fight with the masked man. While he struggled to resist the enemy's attack, he asked the other party why he would do this to Su Wuming. His words revealed his deep friendship and firm protection for Su Wuming.

Cherry also arrived at the scene at this time, and her joining made the battle situation clearer. Seeing that the situation was not good, the masked man knew that it would be difficult to win, so he took advantage of the chaos and quietly retreated. A thrilling crisis has been temporarily resolved, but the truth of the case is still shrouded in mystery.

Su Wuming did not smile because of Cherry's timely help. Instead, he frowned, and his heart was full of helplessness for this dangerous journey. In order to protect him, Tao Tao did not hesitate to take risks, but she was injured. Su Wuming saw it and felt pain in his heart. The arrival of Lao Fei brought a turn of events to this sudden crisis, but it also made him discover that Uncle Duguya had also suffered a heavy blow. In his trance, Uncle Duguya seemed to see the figure of Harutiao. The familiarity and nostalgia filled his heart with mixed emotions, but the fleeting dream made him realize that he must stay awake.

Uncle Duguya ran towards Chun Tiao desperately, but Chun Tiao was keenly aware of something strange about him. Faced with her mother-in-law's constant pressure, Harujo could only try to change the subject on the grounds that an uninvited guest broke into her home. However, Uncle Duguya's mental state fell into chaos again. He actually claimed that he had died in Nanzhou and that it was all just a dream. Lao Fei's diagnosis made things even more confusing. He mentioned that Uncle Duguya might be sleepwalking, and Uncle Duguya himself gradually realized that there seemed to be some kind of drug conspiracy hidden behind all this.

Lu Lingfeng became very interested in the assassins' whereabouts. He suspected that these people were inextricably linked to the court. While preventing Uncle Duguya from acting impulsively, Lu Lingfeng also revealed his complicated feelings towards Su Wuming to Uncle Duguya. After some explanations, Lu Lingfeng finally realized the extraordinary nature of the case and decided to stay temporarily to uncover the truth with everyone.

Lao Fei expressed his willingness to stay in a relaxed and humorous way, and also joked a few words, adding a bit of relaxation to the tense atmosphere. When Chunshan saw Lu Lingfeng, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He longed to be released, but was afraid of facing torture again. Under Lu Lingfeng's clever questioning, Chunshan finally relented and told the story of how he witnessed Dugu Yang's murder, and the truth that he accidentally witnessed Dugu Yang murdering someone while trying to capture the murderer Lu Er.

Chunshan was horrified after witnessing Duguyang killing someone. He knew that Lu Er's identity was difficult to prove, so he tried to ask Dugu Yang for money. However, Duguyang was very angry that Chunshan was still thinking about money at this time. Although he had mixed feelings in his heart, he finally gave Chunshan ten taels of silver to settle the matter.

After Chunshan got the silver, he thought it was a large fortune at first, but then he learned that the seal was worth far more than he imagined, so he became greedy and returned to threaten Duguyang. On the other side, Lu Lingfeng decided to go to the Mingqi Store to investigate the clues of the corpse. While expressing admiration for Su Wuming's inference, he was not to be outdone. After Su Wuming woke up, he revealed to Lao Fei the clue that the body was hidden in the mud servant. Lao Fei immediately took Pei Xijun to the Mingqi Store, intending to create some "trouble" for Lu Lingfeng, because he knew that Lu Lingfeng was secretly competing with Su Wuming. Sure enough, Lu Lingfeng discovered an abnormality when inspecting the clay doll, and finally lifted Lou Qingmai's body out of the clay doll. Later, Lao Fei also came to confirm Su Wuming's speculation, while Lu Lingfeng ordered Cao Hui to conduct an autopsy, and Chun Tiao was responsible for recording.
