Detective in the Red Chamber

Chapter 400 Chaos

Silent all night.

The next day, when he arrived at the Criminal Department, it took about two hours for Sun Shaozong to deal with the case files, pleadings, and various internal documents of the Criminal Department that had been submitted in the past two days.

Just when he was about to exercise, Wei Ruolan's subordinates brought over the briefings of the inspection operations in recent days, as well as a dozen arrest warrants.

Naturally, the arrest warrants did not say that they were all human traffickers found out this time, so Sun Shaozong approved them one by one without even looking at them, and then sent them to the Ministry of Punishment for the nationwide arrest.

but……

Based on the victim's memory and description alone, the arrest warrant drawn up may not be quite accurate, so it can only be said that he is doing his best and obeying the destiny.

As for the inspection briefing, Sun Shaozong had to carefully screen it word by word—because the combination of Wei Ruolan and Qiu Yunfei was really a double-edged sword.

If they are used well, it is called vigorous and resolute action, and they can get twice the result with half the effort; if they can't control it, with their unscrupulous behavior style, they may cause some troubles to the Criminal Department.

In particular, the inspection of slavery this time has already touched the interests of all parties, and there is no room for carelessness.

Just wanting to take a closer look is not an easy task.

Because the weather is really too hot!

It was better in the morning, but just after the time of day, the temperature began to soar, and when it was close to noon, the room was like a steamer, wet and sticky, making people restless from the inside out.

So before Sun Shaozong turned a few pages, beads of sweat dripped down, which couldn't be wiped off with a handkerchief.

Even if he opened the button of his official robe, took a folding fan and shook it up and down, and poured two bowls of mung bean soup in a row, he still couldn't suppress the sticky dryness.

Just after the flood last year, is there going to be a drought again?

It was unbearably hot, so Sun Shaozong had no choice but to put down the briefing first, and called someone to bring a bucket of well water, preparing to wipe his body and relieve the unbearable heat a little, so as to continue to deal with official duties.

Unexpectedly, he had just locked the door and was taking off his clothes when he heard someone outside slamming the door loudly.

"My lord, my lord! I have something important to report to my humble official!"

Originally thought that it was either Qiu Yunfei or Wei Ruolan who acted recklessly, but when the person outside the door spoke, it was actually Lin Delu's voice.

If this guy didn't have something urgent to do, he wouldn't have dared to knock on the door.

So Sun Shaozong hurriedly dressed the official mansion again, opened the door and let him in, then Shi Shiran sat back in the case and asked calmly, "Governor Lin, what happened to you in such a panic? "

Lin Delu was not in a hurry to speak, he locked the door first, and then approached like a thief, anxiously said, "My lord, the person who used 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' as the behind-the-scenes mastermind has finally been found out! "

It turned out to be for this matter.

Sun Shaozong suddenly understood that although he got the promise from King Zhongshun, he was worried that King Zhongshun would say one thing and do another, so just in case, he didn't ask Lin Delu to stop the investigation.

Looking at Lin Delu's terrified look now, he should have found out about Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

but……

Doesn't this prove that King Zhongshun really has no plan to stop hyping 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei'?

In this way, things will be really troublesome!

Now that King Zhongshun has already spoken, wouldn't Sun Shaozong be rushing to confront him head-on if he went to 'leapfrog petition'?

But if we don't report this matter to the imperial court, if someone leaks the news that Sun Shaozong has investigated this matter afterwards, wouldn't he be charged with not reporting what he knew and having ulterior motives?

He was in a dilemma, but Lin Delu said furtively, "No wonder Wei Tong refused to agree to investigate this matter, but it turned out that this matter was actually caused by the Beijing Palace!"

What? !

Sun Shaozong was a little confused at the time, how could this trick of King Zhongshun be put on the King of Beijing by him?

He couldn't help frowning, "Did you make a mistake?"

Lin Delu said with a bitter face, "I just found out about this, and I'm afraid I made a mistake in my humble position, so I investigated carefully for a few days, and found that those who bribed market thugs to spread rumors, and those who came to sing double reeds to drive up prices, were in the poetry society. Those who promoted this thing at the meeting were indeed people from the Beijing Palace!"

Speaking of this, he thought of something again, and hurriedly added, "I heard that there was a big customer at first, and it was also a normal thought, but in the past few days, it suddenly disappeared, and only the Beijing Palace was left shouting hard!"

tsk~

Could it be that their nephew and uncle did this trick together?

Now King Zhongshun wants to back down, but King Beijing refuses to give up?

But this is not right either!

King Zhongshun has never had anything to do with King Beijing, and he even thought about his long-legged concubine maliciously in his conversation, so how could he join hands with King Beijing to set up a situation?

And with the power of King Zhongshun, there is no need to join hands with others at all...

Or, after King Zhongshun knew how powerful it was, he simply dumped the blame on King Beijing Jing, wanting to see his jokes?

It doesn't seem right, I have already made clear the stakes of this matter to King Zhongshun, even if he really wants to cheat King Beijing, King Zhongshun should inform himself first, so that this matter won't leak out, right?

Otherwise, he would just sit back and watch the King of Beijing make things worse, and if his side leaked the news, wouldn't he also be charged with not reporting what he knew and having ulterior motives?

Or maybe it's the same as King Zhongshun who also fell in love with this 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei' and wanted to take the opportunity to make money?

"grown ups."

Sun Shaozong had a headache thinking about it, but Lin Delu was anxious to wait, so he couldn't help but cautiously asked, "Look at this matter, we don't care about it?"

"This is..."

Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, and then said, "You should check first, and don't make it public."

Lin Delu nodded first, but then hesitantly said, "Where is Weitong Judgment..."

Also!

Wei Ruolan also knew that she wanted to investigate the matter of 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei' - but the problem was, whether he had disclosed this matter to Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong, she had no way of knowing.

If Shui Rong knew that he was trying to cut off his money, how he would react would be unpredictable...

This is a mess!

Originally, I was planning to piss off a few profiteers, but who would have thought that there were actually two great white sharks under the water? !

But now it's too late to back down.

Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, and then ordered, "Go back now, and record all the information you have found in a concise and concise manner, and then go to another place with me after the office is gone."

Now that it's hard to get off a tiger, I'm afraid there is only one way to go to the dark!

If the inference just now was correct, King Zhongshun didn't know about King Beijing's actions, and he was ready to give up on this plan, then he shouldn't just sit back and watch Shui Rong continue with this crazy plan.

Chapter 401 Five Tigers Battle Said Yue

It's a bit late, but I still want to wish you all the best of luck

He saw that he was in front of Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

Sun Shaozong slammed off his horse, took the reins to the base of the west wall, and tied a loose buckle on the stone ring that tied the horse. When he looked back, he saw the Lin family's carriage quietly parked by the roadside, but Lin Delu had no intention of getting out of the carriage at all.

"Lin Delu? Governor Lin?!"

He stepped forward to call twice, but seeing that there was no response from inside, he opened the car curtain impatiently, but he saw Lin Delu kneeling in the car, shaking his buttocks as if he was sifting chaff.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"

Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to ask, Lin Delu cried out, "I just found out some clues, and I don't intend to report it! Please, for the sake of the humble job, please spare the dog's life of the humble job!"

Sun Shaozong was a little inexplicable at the beginning, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized again.

King Zhongshun and King Beijing are nephews and uncles. Ordinary people don't know that they have hidden suspicions, so they naturally think that King Zhongshun will protect his nephew—so when he saw that he was outside the gate of King Zhongshun's mansion, Lin Delu panicked.

Sun Shaozong was a little speechless in his heart, and it was hard to explain carefully in front of the coachman. Besides, looking at his soft-hearted appearance, he was probably a pig teammate who was dragging his legs when he entered.

So he simply stretched out his hand and ordered, "Things are not what you think—forget it, hand over the sorted out evidence to the officer, and you can just wait outside."

Lin Delu seemed to be pardoned, he quickly took out a booklet from his sleeve, and was about to present it with both hands, but suddenly thought of something, his hand retracted again, and he refused to hand it over.

Sun Shaozong immediately saw through his thoughts, and scolded angrily, "Idiot, these are not originals! Even if they are destroyed, what's the use of them?!"

Lin Delu thought about it for the same reason. Even if Sun Shaozong wanted to destroy the physical evidence, he should first destroy the files in the yamen.

So he hurriedly handed the pamphlet to Sun Shaozong with both hands, and smiled apologetically, "That's not the meaning of a lowly job, how dare a lowly job..."

Sun Shaozong was really too lazy to listen to his cover-up, grabbed the booklet with his hands, and walked to the gate of the palace with his head held high.

After all, he had been here a few times, and he was barely acquainted, so before Sun Shaozong could give his name and surname, someone came out to greet him and ask him why he came.

When he heard that Sun Shaozong had something important to report to the lord, the servant invited him to a side hall to wait, and then informed him layer by layer.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the stewards of the palace came in and led Sun Shaozong to the backyard—this time it was not the wine pool and meat forest, but a more spacious courtyard.

From far away, Sun Shaozong heard the clang of gongs and drums, and when he got closer, he heard someone yelling, "What a Yue Fei, let me take a spear from Zhang Yide!"

"Liu Bei, if you talk about fighting on the battlefield, how can you be my opponent with the iron gun Yang Zaixing!"

"Yue Yunxiu go!"

"Zhao Zilong..."

What the hell is this?

Liu Bei led the five tiger generals of the Shu Kingdom to fight against the Pingshu version of Yue's army?

It seems that there is no such thing as 'Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong' these days, right?

Sun Shaozong just listened to his head in a daze, followed the steward and walked a few steps forward, he could vaguely see the scenery on the stage.

Out of curiosity, he craned his neck to look around for a few times, but he was stunned when he saw this.

But it turned out that on the stage, there were a dozen or so actors all wearing heavy makeup, wearing hairpin tassels, carrying weapons in their hands, and riding boots on their feet, but they were naked and naked!

Looking from a distance, it looks like there are more than a dozen painted-faced meat worms, chattering and messing around in one place!

This scenery...

Compared with the wine pool and meat forest that day, it is really a world of difference!

From a distance, I was sick with nausea, and when I got closer, I saw King Zhongshun lying naked on the couch, with a man wrapped in a blanket like a blanket.

Sun Shaozong didn't dare to take a closer look, he hurriedly bowed five or six steps away and said, "Your Majesty Sun Shaozong, I have seen the prince."

"Ah."

King Zhongshun's eyes were locked on the stage, and he didn't even look at Sun Shaozong. He responded vaguely, and suddenly raised his hand to "papapapa" on the buttocks of the man in his arms, and yelled, "Okay~ sing!" Good!"

What a unique way to applaud...

Since he was watching a play, Sun Shaozong didn't want to start a conversation arbitrarily, so he had to bow his body and watch his nose, nose and heart, preparing to wait for the "big play" on the stage to come to an end, or King Zhongshun lost his interest before reporting.

Speaking of the dozen or so meat worms on the stage, I don't know what the hell they are performing. They all squealed and screamed, and the tune couldn't be tuned, and the tune couldn't be tuned. Fortunately, King Zhongshun could still watch it with great interest.

Just thinking about it like this, Sun Shaozong suddenly felt a chill on his forehead, as if something sticky had fallen on it.

Could it be bird droppings? !

Seeing that King Zhongshun didn't pay attention to him, Sun Shaozong quietly took the handkerchief and quickly wiped it on his forehead. Just as he was about to put the handkerchief back into his sleeve pocket, he suddenly felt something was wrong Son.

So he carefully spread it out in his palm and looked at it, only to see a dazzling red sticking to the center of the veil!

is blood? !

Startled, Sun Shaozong raised his head and looked up the stage again. This time, he really saw something.

I saw twelve naked actors on the stage, fighting each other in groups of two. Although the movements still had the nature of performance, the strength in their hands was not restrained in the slightest!

Even if the weapons are all made of wood, it's not a joke to shoot them with a round knife, or get stabbed carefully!

I don't know how long they have been 'singing' like this. From a distance, it looks like twelve fleshy worms, but when you look closely, their bodies are already covered with scars, and there are almost no good pieces of meat!

tsk~

This is not so much singing, as it is playing life!

clap clap~

Sun Shaozong was looking sideways at him, when he suddenly heard King Zhongshun slap his butt a few more times, but this time he didn't say yes, but said in displeasure, "After fighting on the battlefield for so long, it's time to see the outcome." Bar?"

When the twelve actors on the stage heard the words, they all shuddered, and then moved their hands again, but it was a bit more tragic than before!

Kacha~

I saw that 'Guan Yu' took a gap and slashed on the head of 'Gao Pang' with a knife. fall!

It's just that 'Guan Yu' lost his weapon, but 'Yang Zaixing' saw his flaws, stepped forward and swayed a shot, and when he was dodging in a panic, he kicked 'Guan Yu' to the ground again .
