Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 唐朝诡事录 Episode 29

Su Wuming tested Lu Lingfeng, and sure enough, he learned from his mouth that His Royal Highness the Prince was still staying in the Eastern Capital. Su Wuming thought that Lu Lingfeng, as a trusted confidant of the prince, would definitely not want to find out the case by himself. After all, if the princess got the antidote, it would definitely become an obstacle for the prince on his way to the throne. Su Wuming said that he would definitely investigate the case, not only for the innocent victims, but also to live up to the teachings of his teacher. Su Wuming has seen the princess at Chongnian Temple and has admired her with admiration. He hopes that Lu Lingfeng can also go to see the princess once, and maybe he will have a different impression of her.

Lu Lingfeng came to Chongnian Temple and saw that the princess became the largest temple in Luoyang City because of the princess, and also saw the school built by the princess in the temple. The princess adopted many orphans at Chongnian Temple, but she still has regrets in her heart, which no one knows about. When Lu Lingfeng returned from Chongnian Temple, he saw that Su Wuming was going to go to the Gansui Inn to investigate the case.

The Gansui Inn was surrounded by ghosts due to private fraud, so no one cared about it. Hu Shi4niang blamed Lu Lingfeng and others for this, and heard that Lu Lingfeng was willing to catch ghosts for the inn, and invited them to stay in the inn. Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming stayed in the backyard of the inn, and stayed in the room where the Tuluo woman used to stay. The two searched for clues in the room, and talked about the case by the way. Su Wuming wondered why Yao Yao assassinated Lu Lingfeng, and Lu Lingfeng also felt that now he has no name and no official position, maybe the bronze specter killed the wrong person.

Hu Shishiniang came to deliver food, and Su Wuming took the opportunity to ask her the identity of the former Sui people. Hu Shiiniang said that Emperor Yang was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. He was handsome and his skin could be broken. Back then, he asked the Persians to pay tribute to the face flower just to keep his appearance for himself. After Hu Shishiniang left, Su Wuming guessed that Bronze Specter would come to assassinate Lu Lingfeng tonight, and he didn't believe that Hu Shireniang was over 100 years old, but he had probably guessed Hu Shireniang's identity.

Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng were invited to accompany Hu Fourteen to drink, and Hu Fourteen performed the pipa during the banquet. But the sound of the pipa was strange, which gave Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming a headache, and then the bronze ghost appeared to assassinate Lu Lingfeng. Later, Cherry appeared to deal with Hu Shishiniang. With the help of Su Wuming, Hu Shiquaniang was successfully captured. Xue Huan brought Lu Lingfeng's necessary weapons. Fei Jiji shot the bronze ghost with a kerosene arrow, which proved Su Wuming's conjecture. Bronze Specter is a brawny man and a dwarf in the inn disguised as two people.

Su Wuming interrogated Hu Shishiniang, revealed that she was not a figure from the former Sui Dynasty, and indeed learned that she was the daughter of Aunt Caihan. Twenty years ago, there were frequent conspiracies in Luoyang, and the culprit was Aunt Caihan. When she was arrested later, an accomplice escaped. This person was Hu Shireniang. At that time, it was because Di Gong thought that Hu Shishiniang was a little girl, so he deliberately let her go. After Sui Yangdi Jiangdu was killed, there was indeed a palace maid who escaped from the palace. In order to avenge Sui Yangdi, the palace maid turned to hate the Tang Dynasty, but she never had the opportunity to assassinate the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Later, he passed on martial arts and the rules of the Sui Dynasty to his daughter, and let her pretend to be herself and continue to take revenge. By the generation of Hu Shiiniang, it should be the fifth generation.

Hu Shiiniang opened this Gansui Inn and trained strong men and dwarfs, just to kill for money. And she also accepted the money before agreeing to kill the master and servant. She believed that the two were Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming, so she would use her husband's incense for Lu Lingfeng that night, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him. Su Wuming asked where Hu Shishiniang came from, the banned object of making her husband's incense, the leopard yellow, and learned about Shangshanfang, the place of the Medicine Holy Church.

When the prince drove Lu Lingfeng out of Chang'an, it was also because he learned that the princess was going to list more crimes for Lu Lingfeng, so he had to use this method to protect him. And Lu Lingfeng also felt the difficulty of ordinary people by going south, and the prince promised that he would definitely create a real prosperous world for the people when he ascended the throne in the future. That day, the prince stayed at the Gansui Inn to investigate the Renmianhua case, but he chose to evacuate after finding it unsafe. Lu Lingfeng knew that it must be Hu Shishiniang who mistook him for the prince, so he ordered the bronze ghost to assassinate him.

The prince grew up with his aunt and insisted on staying in Luoyang to solve the case. Although the crown prince hoped to ascend the throne smoothly, he did not want to disregard his family, so he asked Lu Lingfeng to help Su Wuming solve the case with all his strength. When Su Wuming learned what the prince did, he felt that the prince was lucky to have such a heart.
