Detective in the Red Chamber

And if something like this happened, the Wei family and the Niu family would definitely be divorced. If the Niu family insisted on severely punishing Wei Ruolan, maybe even the King of Beijing would fall out with the Niu family.

But these are the aftermath.

For Sun Shaozong right now, the most important thing is...

"Master Fucheng."

Sun Shaozong clasped his fists upright and said, "There seems to be something strange about this case. Mr. Wei is the deputy second of our Criminal Division. How can I ignore it? I hope to postpone the trip to Jinmen for the time being and start investigating the case first." ,so that……"

"absurd!"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Yucun's old face sank, and he scolded unceremoniously, "Since Mr. Wei is your deputy, you should avoid suspicion in every sense and reason! Not only you, but everyone in Shuntian Mansion should avoid suspicion." That's right!"

"But……"

"No need to say more."

Sun Shaozong wanted to say something more, but Jia Yucun flicked his sleeves and ordered unquestionably, "The court has its own opinion on this case, why should you meddle indiscriminately? Now that the clerks are ready, why don't you hurry to Jinmen The government submits the list, so as not to miss the approval of the autumn decision!"

Seeing him talking, he had already issued an order to evict guests, so Sun Shaozong reluctantly left the living room.

I just saw that the little official sighed in his heart and said that Mr. Sun and Mr. Wei were not on good terms, but at the critical moment, Mr. Sun was still willing to defend him like this.

But he didn't know that while walking out, Sun Shaozong praised Jia Yucun secretly in his heart, he really is a showman with clear eyebrows and eyes.

How could Sun Shaozong not know the principle of avoiding suspicion?

The performance just now was just to use Jia Yucun's mouth to break through this key point, and then stay out of the matter logically.

And Jia Yucun's reaction was not only just right, but by the way, even Shuntian Mansion was completely wiped out.

After leaving the Fu Cheng's courtyard, Lin Delu had already handed over the official documents. Originally, he was going to Jinmen Mansion with him, but now that Wei Ruolan had made a mistake, and there was no one in the Criminal Division, Lin Delu naturally had to stay behind. the capital.

However, Sun Shaozong took the official with the seal and escorted two large boxes of catalogs and albums to the pier, and was about to board the ship to go south, when he saw a man approaching, fell on his knees with a plop, and cried, "Second master, little... The young one can be regarded as seeing you grow old again!"

"It's you?!"

After seeing this person's face clearly, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be surprised, because this person was one of the servants he sent to Qianxiang Kingdom a few months ago to deliver a letter to the cheap father-in-law Ruan Liangshun.

Sun Shaozong looked up and saw that there were no other people around, so he couldn't help asking anxiously, "Why is it only you? Where are the others? Was there an accident on the road, or the Ruan family..."

"Report to Second Lord!"

I heard the servant crying and said, "The road is fine, but when I went to Qinglin Mansion to inquire, I found out that the Ruan family was in trouble—Master Ruan somehow offended Ruan Fuzhong, the prime minister of Qianxiang Kingdom. He was sent to prison at the beginning of the month."

"The few of us got the news, so we were going to come back to report the news. Unexpectedly, as soon as we left the city, a group of officers and soldiers from the Qianxiang Kingdom chased after us. They couldn't help but fight with swords and swords. They wanted to kill me and wait to silence them!"

"Luckily, the young man has some martial arts skills and is used to walking on mountain roads, so he escaped by luck!"

Sun Shaozong couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. The cheap old man is one of Ruan Fuzhong's henchmen, and even has some relatives with Ruan Fuzhong, but now he is sent to prison. Could it be...

"Besides the Ruan family, are there any other high-ranking officials from Qianxiang Kingdom who were recently convicted and questioned?"

"Yes, yes!"

The servant mentioned several names in succession, and according to Sun Shaozong's knowledge, at least half of them belonged to the leading party that "measuring Qian Nan's financial resources and making great Zhou happy".

Obviously, this is a purge against the "pro-Zhou faction" within Qian Nan Kingdom - it seems that the day when Qian Nan Kingdom declares war on Great Zhou is imminent.

These southern barbarians really know how to find opportunities, but they chose a time when the Great Zhou Dynasty was unstable and people were panicking!

In any case, this news must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible.

So Sun Shaozong stopped his thoughts of boarding the boat and going south, and told the accompanying officials to wait on the pier temporarily, and then led the servants who summoned him to rush to Beizhen Fusi.

Although Shuntian Mansion also has channels to play, but firstly, it is not confidential enough, and secondly, in terms of efficiency and convenience, it is far inferior to the emperor's pro-army.

However, after entering the gate of Beizhen Fusi, Sun Shaozong felt that the atmosphere was quite dignified, so he casually pulled up a general flag and asked, only to know that the Zhenfu envoy Lu Hui had ordered all the sentries and tiqi back to the Yamen in the morning According to reports, it is said that an internal self-examination is to be launched.

As for what it is for, there is no word yet.

tsk~

This is indeed an eventful autumn!

Hearing that Lu Hui was in the inner hall of the back hall, Sun Shaozong led the servant to look for it, and asked the hundred households guarding the gate to go in and report.

"This……"

Unexpectedly, the hundred households hesitated for a moment, but shook their heads and said, "Please calm down, Sun Qianhu, and don't be impatient. I don't think it will be long before Mr. Lu will gather everyone to lecture in the front hall. At that time, if you have anything to say, you can report it in person. Not too late."

Sun Shaozong's face sank when he heard the words. Since he became the inspector of thousands of households, although he has not often walked around in the Fusi of Beizhen, his status is only under the Fusi of Lu Hui and others, and he can even work with the Fuqin of Nanbei Town. All courts stand against each other.

Right now, there are only a hundred households in this area, how dare they shut themselves out without asking Lu Hui...

And when he mentioned Lu Hui just now, he didn't seem to see much awe.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong immediately raised his voice and asked, "What is your surname, what position do you occupy, why have I never been by Mr. Lu's side, have you seen..."

"Sun Qianhu!"

Just as Sun Shaozong questioned loudly, Lu Hui's voice suddenly came from inside, "Come in and talk."

Hearing Lu Hui's invitation, the hundred households guarding the gate still hesitated for a moment before stepping aside to make way for a passage.

This action can explain the problem better, but Sun Shaozong didn't bother to entangle with a guard, so he ordered his servants to wait outside, and strode into the inner hall.

The inner hall is not so much a living room as it looks like a martial arts arena. There are four rows of weapon racks, with at least thirty kinds of weapons, and armor and crossbows hanging on the wall.

Right now, Lu Hui was standing in front of a simple riding bow, whispering something with a middle-aged man in a blue shirt. It wasn't until Sun Shaozong stopped in the middle of the living room that he turned around and pointed at the man in the cloth. Said, "Sun Qianhu, I met you before..."

"The next official, Sun Shaozong."

Unexpectedly, before he finished his introduction, Sun Shaozong cupped his hands indifferently and said, "I have seen the two Zhenfu adults."

"Ha ha……"

The man chuckled a few times, and said curiously, "Could it be that Sun Qianhu has met Shi some time ago?"

"The lower officials have never met Shi Zhenfu."

Sun Shaozong shook his head, met the man's surprised gaze, and explained, "Since Mr. Lu took office, he has always enforced orders and prohibitions, but the hundred households outside the door not only made their own decisions to reject the lower officials, but heard that Mr. Lu He even hesitated for a moment after the order, which shows that it is not under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Fusi."

"Although you came here as a commoner, you can stand side by side with Mr. Lu, and stand against each other without losing the wind. If it weren't for Mr. Shi from Fusi of Nanzhen in front of you, who would you be?"

It turns out that the clothed man in front of him is actually Shi Mingchong, the governor of Nanzhen Fusi!

In fact, Sun Shaozong was able to recognize Shi Mingchong's identity mainly because of Lu Hui's expression of concealing anger, but trying his best to endure.

There are only two people in Nanzhen Fusi who can make Lu Hui so afraid. One is the commander Xia Shouzhong; .

"Hahaha……"

Shi Mingchong changed his chuckle into a big laugh, then looked at Lu Hui again, and said, "Sun Qianhu was born with two eyes, as rumored, I think the Fusi of Beizhen is responsible for leading the investigation this time, I'm afraid it's not him None."

Investigate?

Sun Shaozong's heart couldn't help but move, could it be that Shi Ming rushed to Beizhen Fusi because of the murder of Niu's eldest son, Niu Chongda?

"inappropriate."

Lu Hui shook his head resolutely and said, "Master Sun has some grievances with the two families, and he is Wei Ruolan's immediate boss, so he should avoid suspicion of this case."

It really is for this matter!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Hui looked at Sun Shaozong again, "That's why I didn't send someone to notify Sun Qianhu to come, but I don't know..."

"Your Honor."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly said, "The lower official actually has other important matters to report, and the matter involves court secrets, so I dare not delay for a moment!"

Is it a court secret?

Hearing these words, Lu Hui immediately turned his attention to Shi Mingchong again, and Shi Mingchong was quite sensible, and after saying a few words on the scene, he left the living room.

"grown ups."

However, after Shi Ming rushed out, Sun Shaozong did not rush to report the information of Qianxiang Kingdom, but frowned and said, "Nanzhen Fusi is too arrogant this time, right? Even if they are in charge of this case, there is no reason to keep us in secret." All sentry sentries are summoned to investigate, right?"

Nanzhen Fusi did this, clearly suspecting that the case of "Niu's father's son was shot to death by an arrow" was caused by Beizhen Fusi.

Isn't this obviously about tearing the skin off? !

Could it be that the Supreme Emperor's favoritism towards the Niu family has reached such a level?

"Do not."

Lu Hui shook his head and said, "It wasn't Nanzhen Fusi who called the spies back for self-investigation, but Commander Dai's orders."

Do you mean Dai Quan?

Could it be to clear the relationship and avoid others from suspecting Beizhen Fusi?

But wouldn't that mean 'there is no silver 300 taels here'?

With Dai Quan's shrewdness and ability, he probably wouldn't do such superfluous actions.

Could it be...

Niu Chongda's death was not arranged by Emperor Guangde, that's why Dai Quan suspected that someone made an unauthorized claim?

Or simply suspected that someone intended to provoke a more intense conflict in order to profit from it, so he hurriedly ordered Beizhen Fusi to conduct a self-examination?

But if it wasn't what Emperor Guangde meant, who would have done it?

Provoking the conflict between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Guangde, the biggest beneficiary seems to be the Niu family - but the Niu family will not use the eldest son they have painstakingly cultivated as a sacrifice, right?

Could it be that King Zhongxin and King Yishun played tricks?

But where do those two idle princes have the ability to play games?

I have to say, this case is really confusing.

Then I heard Lu Hui say again, "Let's not talk about this for now. Didn't you say that there is something involving court secrets, and you want to report it to me?"

Only then did Sun Shaozong calm down his suspicions, and bowed down to report, "It's like this, a concubine of the lower official is Qianxiangguo..."

The words are divided into two parts.

At the same time when Sun Shaozong reported the latest developments of Qianxiang Kingdom, two people were whispering in a certain luxuriously decorated study room.

The elder was the first to say, "With this nomination certificate, it is enough for us to break with the Niu family and fall to His Majesty!"

The handsome young man was a little apprehensive, hesitantly said, "It's just that Erlang ruined his future and marriage because of this, it's really a pity..."

The elder interrupted his words, and said decisively, "It is said that one can be a master only by enduring hardships, not to mention the current situation, I don't care much about it!"

"Besides, that partner committed suicide after returning to the city. Apart from you and me, even Erlang doesn't know what's going on! As long as he was framed to death, protected by the prince, and witnessed by the children of various families, then Can the Niu family kill him to vent their anger?"

"Ah~"

The handsome young man sighed, "Everything is caused by greed! If it wasn't for the Niu family's madness, how could this king bear to put that Niu Chongda to death?"

As he said that, he was silent for a while, and waved his sleeves in a dispirited manner, "Forget it, it's too late to say anything now, I need brother to make arrangements, this king wants to go to Dali Temple to meet Erlang."

When the elder led the order out of the living room, the young man who claimed to be the king sat down in front of the glass mirror in a daze.

Looking at the haggard face in the mirror, he murmured to himself, "Don't say it's Niu's family. I'm afraid even my brother-in-law wouldn't have guessed it. It was his old man's secret instruction to kill Niu Jizong's son to vent his anger."

Chapter 469 Mid-Autumn Festival Approaching [Part [-]]

August thirteenth.

It was just after five o'clock, and the sun was setting.

Holding a two-foot-square gift box, Ping'er hurried into the main room, and listened for a while at the door of the bedroom. She could smell the panting sound inside, so she didn't go in to bother her.

Just put the gift box on the coffee table first, take out the feather duster from the porcelain bottle, and start the routine cleaning twice a day, morning and evening.

In this way, about another quarter of an hour passed, and suddenly Wang Xifeng called from inside, "Ping'er? Ping'er! Come in and help me!"

Ping'er quickly put down the work in his hands, pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.

But there was a blanket spread out in front of the window, and Wang Xifeng was sitting on it with her naked clothes on, her snow-satin white back reflected the setting sun, and her two round jade pillar-like legs were stretched out like a splayed figure; The delicate and mature body tried to lean forward, a pair of pink arms desperately stretched to the edge of the blanket, but because of two strong obstacles, it was still difficult to do so.

Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wang Xifeng's hands, and carefully led her to lower her body. Seeing that she was in pain and tired and sweating all over her body, she couldn't help persuading her, "That prescription also said Now, you have to do what you can and step by step, grandma is so anxious, what if she hurts her body?"

Married to Jia Lian for nearly ten years, but they only have one daughter, how can Wang Xifeng feel anxious?

Especially recently, for some reason, Jia Lian cut off contact with those Yingying and Yanyan, and even the two servants who had always been favored by him were sent outside by his branch.

Although Jia Lian seems to have no interest in handing over public grain, and the quantity and quality have repeatedly hit new lows——but the performance of "the prodigal son turning back" still makes Wang Xifeng overjoyed, and he rekindles his old relationship with him half-heartedly.

Just in time for Jia Baoyu to obtain the "Secret Recipe for Begging a Child" from Sun Shaozong, Wang Xifeng took advantage of the opportunity to copy a copy, and practiced hard every morning and evening, hoping to get a boy with one.

Facing Pinger's persuasion at this time, Wang Xifeng just held her breath and silently maintained her body balance. It was not until 2 minutes later that she panted and straightened her slender waist, shaking her head and saying, "What do you know, Second Master?" It was so hard to restrain my mind, maybe that day I will revert to my old ways, if I follow the steps, how can I catch up?"
