Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 9

Uncle Duguya asked Cao Hui about his daughter-in-law's failure to return. Cao Hui revealed that her daughter-in-law was dissatisfied because her husband was a traitor and often went out. Su Wuming expressed his understanding of this and lamented that although Wu Zuo had a low position but great responsibility, he was often misunderstood by the world. This statement surprised Cao Hui, who realized that Su Wuming was not an ordinary person, or that he might have something to do with Wu Zuo. She then asked Su Wuming for help, revealing that Chun Tiao was related to Dugu Yang's death, and mentioned that Chun Tiao's brother Chun Shan had told Chun Tiao that he had a lover outside. Cao Hui calmly asked Chunshan about his purpose, revealing his alertness to the complexity of the matter.

After thinking deeply, Cao Hui thought that Chunshan's visit that day might not have been an accident. He might have wanted to use Dong Haogu's hand to blackmail him, but when he failed, he became angry and leaked Chun Tiao's secret. Whether this was true or false, it is difficult to tell. At this moment, a strange noise outside the house alarmed everyone. Cao Hui suspected that there was a thief. Su Wuming wanted to go out to investigate, but was dissuaded by Uncle Duguya. He went on his own and found Chunshan trying to steal. With the help of Cao Hui, Chunshan was subdued and knocked unconscious.

After waking up, Chunshan faced the majesty in the court. He initially denied the crime, but when he heard that he would be released, he looked happy. However, Su Wuming suddenly revealed his true colors, and Chunshan's expression changed suddenly. He denied it at first, but when he heard that severe punishment would be used, he immediately broke down and confessed. It turned out that that day when he lost everything in the gambling house and was feeling depressed, Boss Dong came to his door and promised him 30,000 yuan to complete a task. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Chunshan, who was heavily in debt. .

Boss Dong claimed to own the treasure, but knew that the treasure would not be stored at home, so he devised a plan. He took advantage of the county magistrate's invitation to Dugu Yang for a drink and sent Chunshan to sneak into Dugu's house to find the treasure. However, Chunshan encountered a terrifying scene in Duguyang's room and ran away in horror. Su Wuming was skeptical about Chunshan's confession and ordered him to be detained.

Uncle Duguya was furious when he learned that Chun Tiao had an affair with Boss Dong and immediately ordered the arrest of the two. At this time, Niu Guards sneaked in to kill Harujo, but Cao Hui was unfortunately knocked unconscious and killed while protecting Harujo. Su Wuming arrived in time and started a fierce battle with the Niu Guards. Fortunately, Tao Tao came to help, but Su Wuming deliberately angered Tao Tao and made her leave angrily.

Although Dugu Yang was a good person, his wife was coveted by gangsters because of her beauty, and she was eventually killed. Boss Dong came to the Yamen, secretly alert in his heart. Although Cao Hui was frightened, the doctor diagnosed that there was nothing serious, which made Harujo feel relieved. However, Harutiao's suspicion of Boss Dong deepens day by day. She finds out that Boss Dong approaches her in order to get Duguyang's private seal. Harujo feels guilty and realizes that she has betrayed her husband's trust.

The cow guard reveals his feelings to Harujou and proposes to marry her, but Harujou angrily accuses him of being shameless and slaps him in the face. Chun Tiao confessed to Su Wuming that he had never seen the multi-faceted seal in Dugu Yang's hand. She recalled that Dugu Yang tried to save her and revealed that she was unable to have children for some reasons. Dugu Yang was extremely emotional after hearing this.

At the same time, Boss Dong felt an unusual atmosphere in the yamen, and he began to realize that things may not be as simple as they appear.

Harutiao's heart was full of regret. Her impulsive words were originally just angry words, hoping to attract her husband's attention. In fact, she still maintains her innocence for her husband, and she longs in her heart to give birth to a child for Dugu Yang. Facing Boss Dong's defense, she listened quietly outside the court hall with mixed feelings in her heart.

Boss Dong insisted in the court that he did not kill anyone. He recalled that night when he went to Dugu's house because he was drunk, and the purpose was indeed to get the legendary seal. He admitted that he and Duguyang had agreed on a transaction time, which was at 3:00 pm. However, when he arrived for the appointment on time, he encountered Duguyang drawing a sword at him, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Boss Dong explained that he proposed to complete the transaction that day to calm Dugu Yang's anger, but when he stepped into the house, he was horrified to find that Dugu Yang was dead. In panic, he chose to flee the scene without reporting it to the police, for fear that he would be unnecessarily involved in the murder. When Harujo heard this, he became even more convinced that her husband's death was inextricably linked to this complicated transaction. She secretly made up her mind to find out the truth and seek justice for Duguyang, and at the same time to prove her innocence and loyalty.
