Detective in the Red Chamber

This guy is really flexible.

Since Sun Shaozong had the upper hand, he didn't chase after him fiercely. Instead, he picked up a teacup to hold his works of tea, but instead observed the people below with stealthy eyes.

After seeing these few words, the hundreds of households have basically arrived, but only the other two thousand households are missing.

Is it really...

While Sun Shaozong was pondering, he heard someone outside yelling in a protracted voice, "Master Zhenfu is here~~~!"

Everyone stood up solemnly, and when a figure wearing a bright yellow unicorn robe flashed outside, they all knelt in the military salute and said in unison, "I have seen Lord Zhenfu!"

Seeing the figure in the unicorn robe, he entered the meeting hall unhurriedly, and walked all the way in front of Sun Shaozong and Chen Xingzhi, but stopped for a while, and then two people flashed out from behind him, half-kneeling Under Sun Shaozong and Chen Xing.

got~

Sure enough, it was regarded as Liwei's background board!

Needless to say, these two people are the other two Qianhus.

And the two thousand households followed Lu Hui, the eunuch, but only Chen Xingzhi, the most important Qianhu who was in charge of punishment, was waiting here alone, and he was deliberately placed under Sun Shaozong. This meant to suppress and exclude It's beyond words!

Chen Xingzhi was not a fool either, his face turned ashen immediately, his two fat fists hugged together, trembling in circles, he didn't know if he was more angry or fearful.

This scene was obviously the most important part of the whole meeting, other than that, it was nothing more than commonplace talk.

Seeing that everything that should be said has been explained, Sun Shaozong was waiting for the show to leave, but he heard the eunuch suddenly raised his voice, "Okay, except for Sun Qianhu, everyone else should leave first." .”

Huh?

Could it be that he has prepared a sequel for himself in today's play?

Chapter 211

After a moment.

In the spacious meeting hall, only Sun Shaozong and the governor Lu Hui were left staring at each other.

Seeing that Mr. Lu's complexion was sunny and cloudy, bright and dark, Sun Shaozong's heart also lifted up, and he secretly thought that his face with all kinds of emotions and six desires, maybe he wanted to arrange himself , to perform some narrow-death missions?

If he dared to bring it up, should he refuse it, or should he firmly refuse it?

"Ugh."

At the moment when Sun Shaozong was worried, Master Lu finally let out a long sigh, "I am old, I am really old. Seeing that Master Sun is so young and promising, I can't help but recall all kinds of things from yesterday."

As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously again, as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

If you say that Mr. Lu is indeed getting old, not to mention his gray beard and hair, the corners of his eyes and brows are full of fine lines.

However, his body is still very majestic and mighty, especially there is a deep scar above his left eye, which makes him exude a terrifying evil spirit when he moves his eyebrows and eyes a little.

Hearing his sigh, Sun Shaozong still didn't dare to be careless, so he complimented cautiously, "My lord's words are wrong. Since you have been entrusted with an important task by His Majesty, you are naturally a treasured sword!"

"Ha ha……"

Lu Hui laughed, raised his hand and pointed at Sun Shaozong and said, "Don't flatter me—the old man is too lazy to hang around with you, let's just say it, I actually keep you because I want you to be the new housekeeper." As a supervisor, clean up the ethos of our Fusi in Beizhen."

"You have nothing to do with the ups and downs in this yamen, and this position is the most suitable."

Internal surveillance?

If it is shortened from now on, wouldn't it be called 'inner prison'?

Although this is not a narrow escape, it is also the most likely to offend people.

So Sun Shaozong hurriedly got up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the discipline of our North Town Fusi has always been supervised by the Nanzhen Fusi. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to set up an internal affairs supervision function for no reason?"

"Nanzhen Fusi?"

Lu Hui snorted and said, "Nanzhen Fusi has always been under the jurisdiction of Xia Shouzhong's father-in-law Xia. Although Commander Dai and him are not in the same situation, we will definitely not let him interfere in the affairs of Beizhen Fusi."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Sun Shaozong was still full of resistance, he said again, "Just put your heart in your belly, with Eunuch Dai watching over you, even if this old man cheats you, no one dares to cheat you—let's talk about the internal affairs." Supervision only needs you as a name, and the specific things can be handled by the people below."

It seems that there is also a relationship between the Fusi of the North and the South Towns.

Seeing that he was talking about this point, Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, then bowed and said, "Since this is the case, I would rather obey orders than be respectful."

That's all for the rest, Eunuch Dai took care of that one, but it was real.

"now it's right."

Lu Hui suddenly smiled and said, "Those who look forward and backward, how can they be worthy of the word 'young and frivolous'."

Who is willing to match the four characters of "young and frivolous"?

Besides, Sun Shaozong's psychological age is also earlier than the age of "young and frivolous".

Seeing that the words were almost finished, Sun Shaozong took his leave and left.

Lu Hui didn't stop him, but when Sun Shaozong turned around, he said meaningfully, "Sun Qianhu, pay more attention to our Beizhen Fusi when you have time. After all, you are a warrior. The position of Fu Yin may not be so easy to remember."

Sun Shaozong would not think too much about his words alone.

But Dai Quan seemed to have revealed a similar tone at the beginning. Could it be that Eunuch Dai really intends to promote himself to the position of governor?

--split line--

But he mentioned Beizhen Fusi. Seeing that it was not too late, the Lantern Festival still had its tail.

Sun Shaozong thought about taking a stroll around, buying some windmills and wind chimes for his son, and tied them to the bedside.

Unexpectedly, just after walking out, someone shouted loudly, "Second Brother, Second Brother Sun!"

Sun Shaozong turned his head to look, and saw the curtains of a carriage in front of him were opened, revealing a baby face carved in pink and jade, but who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Baoyu?

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking over, Jia Baoyu quickly waved his hand through the window, then tilted his head and gave instructions, and the carriage came up unhurriedly.

When he got close, Baoyu quickly jumped out of the car, circled around Sun Shaozong several times, and said in his mouth, "Second brother is more powerful today than usual. When I saw it from a distance just now, I was almost scared." Didn't recognize it."

When he jumped out of the car, the curtain was raised, and it seemed that there was still a woman sitting inside.

Could it be that Lin Daiyu was kidnapped?

Sun Shaozong thought about this, and asked with a smile, "Ms. Ping'er told your elder sister Rong that there is a big show in your house today, why do you have time to hang out?"

Jia Baoyu curled her lips in disdain, and said, "The few plays Brother Zhen ordered were so noisy, I really couldn't get used to them, and thinking that Xiren was just going home to visit relatives, so I went to sit at her house— Didn't you run into your second brother just as you were about to go back home?"

As he spoke, he smiled happily again, and took out an emerald Maitreya Buddha from his sleeve, stuffed it into Sun Shaozong's hand, and said, "I prepared this for my little nephew. I came out early in the morning, so I don't know Ping'er Elder sister went to your house, or let her take it with her."

The statue of Maitreya Buddha is charmingly naive, and the jade color is emerald green, it is very pleasing to look at.

"Then I'll keep it."

Sun Shaozong put the Jade Buddha away, and casually invited, "Would you like to come to my house and meet your little nephew?"

"It's still free."

Baoyu shook her head hurriedly, "My little nephew has only been born a few days ago, so I'm afraid he won't see a layman like me."

Then he said, "However, I heard that there is a new restaurant opened near Chongwenmen, and the cook there has a lot of good venison. Since I happened to meet you today, why don't you call my cousin, Brother Feng, and Brother Liu?" , How about going to try something new together?"

The above-mentioned people each gave generous gifts, and according to the rules, Sun Shaozong should indeed invite them to a gathering alone.

Just now when Baoyu mentioned it, Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let me be the host tonight. Let's celebrate the birth of your little nephew. By the way, I would like to thank my brothers for their kindness."

Jia Baoyu originally wanted to fight for a host, but when he heard this, he knew what he meant, so he said happily, "Then I will go and inform my brothers now, and you should go home and change quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid that the cook will be scared by you, and even forget the ancestral craftsmanship."

Sun Shaozong laughed, asked where the restaurant was, and then got on his horse again, leaving Jia Baoyu temporarily.

Chapter 212

Because it was inevitable to drink at night, after Sun Shaozong changed his clothes, he called Zhang Cheng to get into the carriage instead.

After going back and forth, when they got near Chongwenmen, the sky was already getting dark.

"Master Sun."

As soon as Sun Shaozong got out of the car here, a young man came up to him nodding and bowing, rubbing his hands and saying, "Our second master Bao was afraid that the good position would be snatched away, so he asked the villain to come over and book a private room first."

It seems that this Jia Baoyu really has made progress, if he had changed before, he would never have been so thoughtful in doing things.

Sun Shaozong only nodded, and followed the boy into this restaurant named 'Lumingxuan'.

At this time, it was time for dinner, and the scattered seats were almost full, and there were many scholars wearing square scarves among them. I thought it was because of the cute name of this shop.

However, the guests in the scattered seats on the first floor can't afford any venison, so the signboard is shining brightly, and the targets are all kinds of donkey meat.

Is this considered selling donkey meat by hanging a deer's head, or referring to a donkey as a deer?

Thinking about what was there and what was missing, Sun Shaozong followed the boy up the stairs to the private room on the second floor facing the street.

As soon as you enter this private room, you will first see a huge screen, on which several sika deer step on the wormwood all over the place, or raise their heads and neigh, or lower their heads to eat wormwood, which obviously depicts the scene in the Book of Songs.

After bypassing the screen, a huge round table was placed in the middle, and the cups, plates and wine cups were all set, but Baoyu and the others were not seen, obviously they had eaten more than Sun Shaozong.

Seeing that there were several folding fans on the table, Sun Shaozong curiously picked up one, twisted it open and looked it over carefully, but saw many dishes names written in lower letters on the front, and a picture of "Night Banquet in Peach and Li Garden" on the back, It seems quite fitting.

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at the menu, the young man asked again with a smile on his face, "Master Sun, do you want to order?"

Sun Shaozong closed the fan, threw it back on the table, and said, "Ask this restaurant's signature dishes, which ones need to be cooked? Choose five or six dishes and prepare them first, and the rest will be prepared by others." It's never too late."

The boy agreed, and went downstairs hastily.

Because these days, the guests in the private room all bring their own servants, so as long as they don't take the initiative to greet them, the waiter in the shop will not rashly come in to disturb them.

So Sun Shaozong, bored all by himself, simply opened the window and looked at the night scene near Chongwenmen.

Although there are no big houses nearby, there are many shops, and the lanterns of the houses are densely packed, and they have made many tricks to attract customers. Looking down from a high place, it is quite interesting.

Clang~clang~clang...

Just as he was looking around aimlessly, he heard the sound of a gong coming from the gate of the city. Immediately afterwards, he saw a team holding an evasive wooden sign pouring out of the door opening, and planed to go beyond the leading sedan chair and carriage. However, the most eye-catching thing is a few huge cages.

Escorting ordinary criminals would definitely not require such a big battle. This is probably where the corrupt officials were taken down by the censor who was ordered to patrol.

Just at this time, there was another burst of laughter outside the door, but it was Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying and others who had arrived.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly turned around to meet him, just as he walked around the screen, he saw several people rushing in, all clasped their hands together and said, "Congratulations to Second Brother!"

Sun Shaozong laughed, and was about to say something when he heard another commotion outside the window, the sound of the gong mixed with boiling human voices, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Feng Ziying frowned and said, "It's the middle of the night, where is the bird officer so disturbing the people?"

He was asking casually, but who knows that there are actually people who know the truth.

I heard Jia Baoyu say, "I just took a look from afar, and it seems that Mr. Zhao, the censor of Youdu who went to Hebei for inspection, has returned. He seems to have arrested a lot of corrupt officials."

"Yo~!"

Feng Ziying's eyes widened as though acting strangely, and she teased, "When did Brother Bao pay so much attention to the important affairs of the court? You can see things that even the second brother doesn't know about!"

Unexpectedly, when he asked this question, Jia Baoyu faltered a little, scanned Sun Shaozong's face for a long time, and said hesitantly, "This time Zhao Yushi is out on business, and the second brother of the Wei family just happened to be assigned to accompany him as a guard. I went there that day. I sent it off for a ride, so I recognized Mr. Zhao's frame."

The second brother of the Wei family is naturally referring to Wei Ruolan.

Except for Liu Xianglian, everyone present didn't know that Sun Shaozong had a conflict with him?

So after Baoyu finished speaking, he suddenly became cold.

"What expressions do you all have?"

Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, I'm not tolerated at all? As long as you don't bring that kid surnamed Wei in front of me to be an eyesore, I don't care about your friendship in private?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand inward and said, "Come on, everyone, sit down and talk."

If possible, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't want his friend to have anything to do with the Wei family - but the Wei family is also a generation of meritorious nobles, and they have been friends with the Rongguo Mansion for several lifetimes, how can they easily let go?

Besides, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Wei Ruolan is now the brother-in-law of the King of Beijing, and the Rongguo Mansion, as a member of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, is even less likely to turn against him.

But seeing Sun Shaozong's indifferent behavior, everyone was relieved, so they talked and laughed and sat around the table for half a circle, only Xue Pan sat alone in the room, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Now Shaozong Sun was a little puzzled, usually this guy is the most noisy one, why is he uncharacteristically quiet now?

"Second brother, leave him alone."

Feng Ziying gloated and said, "Xue has a big head, which is a good thing, and he is so beautiful that he can't speak human words."

No wonder he was so depressed, it turned out that the wedding date with that Wang's daughter was approaching.

"Go away, you don't know how to speak human language!"

Xue Pan glared at him, and then said weakly to Sun Shaozong, "Second brother, that date is set to be the ninth day of March, if you are free, come and have a look, and if you are not free, forget it, anyway, I will not be picky .”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
