Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 40

While Cao Weng was practicing his martial arts, he noticed that Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng had arrived, so he closed his eyes and said that the window had been sealed, and he was willing to capture them without hesitation to avoid making it difficult for the governor. Su Wuming laughed and said that Mr. Cao was too modest. If he really wanted to escape, how could these guards stop him? He also pointed out that Cao Weng confessed to himself without knowing the truth, fearing that the real culprit would go unpunished.

Cao Xiao insisted that he did not kill anyone. Su Wuming stared at Cao Weng, feeling the remorse and helplessness in his heart, knowing that although the children made mistakes, they were all out of the desire to protect their father. Cao Weng smiled bitterly and said that he was not a confused person. He had already realized that Duobao was not his biological son, but because of his innocence and kindness, he was very much like his eldest son who died young, and he felt compassion for him. When Lu Lingfeng heard this, he was confused, and Cao Weng continued to tell the story: he and Situ Mei fell in love at first sight, made a promise, and welcomed their son the next year. However, due to a twist of fate, his wife and children passed away one after another, leaving him alone to this day.

Cao Weng revealed that he once dreamed of his eldest son and told him that Duobao was actually his reincarnation and had a simple personality, most similar to himself. Therefore, he could not bear to harm Duobao. Su Wuming added that although Cao Xiao had intended to kill Duobao, he failed to do so at the critical moment, revealing his inner struggle and contradiction.

When Cao Weng heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, anger and doubt intertwined. He was eager to know the real murderer of Duobao. Xue Huan secretly admired the master's plan. Although it did not directly reveal the real murderer, it was still extraordinary. Lao Fei had a headache. The originally carefully designed plan did not seem to work. Instead, the case became more complicated and complicated, as if he had returned to the starting point. He thought to himself that even Duke Dee's two disciples found it difficult, and this case was really difficult.

At this time, Lu Lingfeng suddenly recalled that Saisai had mentioned the majesty of Judge Dee and the extraordinaryness of his disciples. He looked at each other and smiled at Su Wuming. The two of them seemed to have thought of some key clue at the same time. When Lao Fei saw this, he was puzzled. He saw Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng looking solemn and seemed to be communicating silently.

On the other side, everyone speculated that the secret between Cao Yin and Li Chi was accidentally learned by the child, but they did not know that Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng had arrived quietly. Lu Lingfeng arranged for Pei Xijun to accompany Sai Sai in case of accidents. Afterwards, everyone looked for Li Chi, only to see him triumphant and confidently claiming that he had not broken the law and was about to be released. Lao Fei promptly revealed the news that Cao Yin was pregnant, causing an uproar.

Su Wuming went deep into Li Chi's case and accidentally discovered the poison used in the crime. The case seemed to have turned around. The governor immediately went to court to interrogate the case, and Li Chi looked frightened. Unexpectedly, Cao Yin admitted her husband's crime in court, adding new variables to the case. Su Wuming cleverly guided Cao Weng and let Cao Yin know the truth about Li Chi raising his wife and concubines outside. Cao Yin was shocked, but also felt heartbroken and disappointed. She originally thought that everything her husband did was for the sake of the children, but she never thought that he was greedy for the Cao family's property. She originally planned to hide the truth for the sake of her children, but she didn't expect that Li Chi would be so vicious.

He Keke's thoughtfulness allowed Su Wuming to accidentally reveal the truth about Li Chi's replacement of Duobao's food. Although Duobao passed away, the records he left behind became the key to solving the case, revealing Li Chi's miscarriage of justice and making the governor regretful. Duobao's words indicate that Datang is gradually abandoning bad habits and moving towards openness. Cao Weng even led everyone and had the courage to break the rules.

Saisai carries her uncle's dream and enthusiastically introduces the beauty of Dunhuang. Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming traveled westward, and what they saw and heard was touching. Su Wuming had a premonition that Lu Lingfeng would face a difficult choice, and everyone decided to go to the capital together. Lu Lingfeng vowed to fight for the Tang Dynasty, and the capital was turbulent. The princess was eager for her son to return and would do anything to protect him.
