Detective in the Red Chamber

But at this moment, there was a shout from outside the door, and the startled princess even coughed a few times, but without wiping off the almond dew stained on her lips, she hurriedly stood up and looked out.

But I saw Sun Shaozong striding into the flower hall, the prince in his arms hangs his head awkwardly, his eyes are closed and his eyes are crooked, obviously in a state of unconsciousness!

"What's the matter?!"

The crown prince was shocked, she went up to look at the prince's condition, and said anxiously, "Isn't he still doing well just now? Why did the prince faint suddenly?!"

That's what's wrong with 'good' coming out!

Sun Shaozong muttered in his heart, but said in his mouth, "It's too late to explain now, please ask your mother to take care of the prince, my humble minister..."

In the middle of the speech, he couldn't help but stumbled. Gein, a graceful and dignified princess, had a drop of white liquid flowing down from her lips. The delicate collarbone was exposed, and finally disappeared in the snow-white gully covered by the palace skirt.

Although Sun Shaozong also knew that this drop of liquid was definitely not that kind of 'dirty' thing, but seeing this scene in his eyes, he still couldn't help thinking about it.

But after all, he still had some self-control, so he woke up immediately, and while secretly scolding himself for being obsessed with sex, he pretended to be nonchalant and continued, "I'm going to invite the imperial physician to come over and treat Your Highness!"

After speaking, Sun Shaozong wanted to find a place to put the prince down.

But there are only tables and chairs in this flower hall, but where is the bed?

And in front of the princess, it's not easy to throw the prince directly on the ground, right?

As soon as this face showed some embarrassment, the concubine immediately moved, swept all the things on the round table into the tea tray, and put the tea tray on the spring stool, signaling Sun Shaozong to put the prince on the table for the time being.

Sun Shaozong followed the good example, stepped forward to let the prince's buttocks touch the ground, then curled up his legs and put them on the edge, and was about to put down his upper body, but the princess rushed forward, supported the prince's head, and exhorted: " Master Sun, please be careful, don't hit His Highness again."

Sun Shaozong was already careful, but after hearing what she said, his movements were naturally a bit slower, and he worked with the Crown Princess to slowly help the Crown Prince to fall backwards.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw that cloudy drop again!

But it turned out that the round table was not very high, and the princess had to lower her body gradually in order to stabilize the back of her head, so the bright yellow palace skirt was somewhat unable to block the prying eyes from outside.

That's why Sun Shaozong saw it again, the silk-like pillar sticking between the skin and the skirt...

"Gu... what's wrong with Gu?"

While peeping, a weak voice suddenly came into Sun Shaozong's ears, which made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and almost shot the prince into the wall with a flick of his hand.

"Your Highness, are you awake?!"

The prince was overjoyed, and said excitedly, "Just now I really scared my concubine to death!"

"The humble minister was also quite shocked."

Sun Shaozong couldn't help agreeing, and then scolded in his heart that Te Niang was shocked twice in a row!

The prince straightened up, and the concubine hurriedly supported him to sit up, and saw that he looked around in a daze, and then rubbed the space between his brows for a while, then the confusion gradually faded away, and he smiled wryly, "I have listened to Sun Aiqing's lofty remarks, Unexpectedly, I passed out in a moment of joy and convulsion."

The Crown Princess listened beside him, and only then did she know the reason for his sudden coma. She couldn't laugh or cry, but she was also very curious. She wanted to ask what the theory was, but she was afraid of offending the Crown Prince.

At this time, the crown prince said again, "Trouble Aiqing, go and invite the envoy of the Qin Academy to treat the orphan..."

"No!"

The Crown Princess hastily stopped her and said, "In half an hour, it will be time for the imperial physicians to make daily consultations. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to alert the Qin Yuan envoys at this time. Why don't you wait until..."

"how?!"

Hearing that she not only didn't care about her own safety, but wanted to delay the time of diagnosis and treatment, the prince was immediately annoyed.

Throwing off the support of the Crown Princess, she sat cross-legged on the table sideways, folded her head with the red bead and purple gold crown at [-] degrees, and said angrily, "The envoy of Qin Yuan was originally sent by the father to take care of the orphan. Could it be that there is something wrong with the orphan?" Hey, can't you startle him?!"

The concubine was stunned by his ferocious face, took half a step back, she forgot how to defend herself, she just said repeatedly, "The concubine never meant that, the concubine never meant that!"

"What do you mean?!"

The prince supported the table with his hands, twisted his body, and stared at the princess fiercely.

Since the root was cut off, the crown princess had repeatedly taken the lead and showed her shrewdness and ability everywhere, which had already caused him to hold back a fire of evil. If there was no reasonable explanation today, he was ready to vent it all out of his mind.

"Your Highness."

Just when the husband and wife were about to turn against each other, Sun Shaozong suddenly interjected, "I speculate that the empress is afraid that if the news of your sudden convulsions spreads, it will attract random speculation from the outside world, and even affect the direction of public opinion in the ruling and opposition parties—Your Highness, At this critical moment, if you are not careful, you will lose everything!"

If the Crown Princess said so, the Crown Prince might not believe it, but after listening to Sun Shaozong's analysis, and thinking about the direction he had just pointed out for himself, most of the anger in his heart was cut off immediately, and he just asked indifferently, "What did Sun Aiqing say?" , but really?"

"What Master Sun said is exactly what the concubine is thinking about!"

The crown princess nodded again and again, and cast a grateful look at Sun Shaozong.

"Then why are you still standing there?"

Although the prince extinguished the thunder, he still showed no pretense towards the princess. He stretched out his arm and scolded, "Don't you want to be alone and sit on this table all the time?!"

The concubine hurried forward, helped her get off the table carefully, and sat on the spring stool.

Call ~

The prince exhaled a turbid breath, and then smiled at Sun Shaozong, "I just heard what Aiqing said just now, it is really like enlightenment, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been overly excited and convulsed."

Sun Shaozong smiled lightly, and flattered him with neither humility nor overbearing, "Those who have been convulsed by extreme joy since ancient times, must have true temperament."

"Hahaha, what a 'non-true temperament can't be'!"

The prince smiled smugly, seeing that Sun Shaozong was getting more and more pleasing to the eye, he wanted to reward him with something, but felt that those mere playthings were not worthy of the ambitions of the monarch and his ministers.

In the middle of a dilemma, I didn't know what to think, and suddenly I turned around and asked the crown princess, "Your natal family is also named Sun, and both of them are from Jinling, but I don't know if you have the same ancestry with Sun Aiqing's family?"

Although the concubine's emergency response was a little inferior, Lan Xinhui's qualitative evaluation could not be faked. When she heard the tone of the prince's words, she guessed what he was thinking, so she bowed slightly and said, "I don't care about this. It's too clear, if Ming'er asks his father and elder brother to look up the genealogy, maybe the two families are really relatives."

tsk~

This is clearly for me to marry the Crown Princess... Ah bah, it is for me to marry the Crown Princess!

To be honest, it would definitely be a great benefit if it was put on hold while the crown prince was still alive.

But right now...

Sun Shaozong really didn't want to be so tightly tied to the prince!

However, the prince has said all this, and he wants to use his banner to fight against King Zhongshun. How can he refuse if he wants to?

He could only swear in his heart, pretending to be happy, and worried about gains and losses, "This...how dare you to climb up?! The head of the country is a great scholar in the world, and my brothers are born in the army..."

"What is there to climb high or not?"

The prince said indifferently, "If they are really relatives, it will be easier to communicate in the future!"

After finalizing the matter, the crown prince dragged Sun Shaozong to talk about it and listened to a lot of constructive words. Seeing that it was almost time for daily consultation, the prince let him go.

Sun Shaozong was about to take his leave and leave, but he heard the prince order to Sun, "I'm a little tired, please send Sun Aiqing out for me."

Letting the concubine send him off in person, this kind of treatment is not something ordinary people can get - obviously after getting the four-character mantra, the prince's trust in Sun Shaozong has increased a lot.

But when the Crown Princess heard the words, she also had her own wish - she was worried that she would not find a chance to ask Sun Shaozong what good idea he had come up with.

But they said that they were polite in front of the door and could have two hundred words, and then they left the flower hall one after the other.

After arriving outside the gate of the small courtyard, Sun Shaozong was about to ask the Crown Princess to stay, when she couldn't wait to ask, "Master Sun, I don't know what exactly you said to His Highness? How could it cause His Highness to convulse?"

There is nothing that can't be said about this matter, and Sun Shaozong was also afraid that the prince would misrepresent the good scriptures, and wished that the princess could help him, so he briefly recounted his "high theory".

The concubine was dazzled by what she heard, and for a long time solemnly said blessings to Sun Shaozong, "It is a heaven-sent opportunity for Your Highness to meet Mr. Sun in the midst of danger!"

Godsend?

Isn't it the chance that Mrs. Li bit it out?

Less gossip.

But he said that Sun Shaozong left the Prince's Mansion, seeing that there was still some time before Xiangwu, he was hesitating whether to go home and have lunch, or go to Shuntian Mansion for a walk first, when suddenly he saw three horses galloping towards him. It was Yang Licai, one of the hundreds of households in the Inspectorate.

"Master Qianhu!"

With a dozen or so steps away, Yang Licai hastily reined in the reins, dismounted from his horse and came up to meet him, bowed and said, "Master Zhen Fu asked the humble officer to send you a message, that batch of goods has indeed been tampered with!"

This is also using slang.

The so-called goods naturally refer to the baby girls born on the sixth day of July, and the meaning of the whole sentence refers to those baby girls who have been pre-examined by the White Lotus Sect.

Obviously, there is no reincarnated saint they are looking for, otherwise it would not be just a check.

In addition...

Being able to find out all the baby girls born on the sixth day of July in front of the Dragon Guards has proved that the White Lotus Sect has internal support in Shuntian Mansion. All the baby girls are definitely a dream come true!

Perhaps it is possible to start from the household registration record, and follow the vines to find out the identity of this internal responder.

And then there is...

The reincarnated saint of the White Lotus Sect should have special but not special physical features.

I say special because of this characteristic, which should be able to distinguish her from others.

And it's not special, because if this feature is extremely rare—for example, if it is born with teeth, there may be a lot of people wearing it long ago, so why would the White Lotus Sect bother to investigate?

finally...

"What about the batch of goods outside the city, have they all been checked?"

"I don't know yet. The places outside the city are a little far away. I'm afraid I won't get any news until the afternoon."

tsk~

It seems that the scope of the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus will not be determined until the afternoon.

Sun Shaozong nodded, waved his hands again and said, "You go back and report first, and tell Lord Zhenfu, I will start to check from the account books, and we will communicate with each other when we find any clues."

Chapter 520 Preparations for 'Military Supplies'

"Go slowly, my lord."

Zhao Liben lifted the front of his official robe, stepped over the threshold of more than four inches, tilted his shoulders outward, and retreated respectfully to the bottom of the steps.

While speaking, his eyes fell on Sun Shaozong's scarlet robe, and a look of envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes-last year, he and Sun Shaozong were still on equal footing, and it took only half a year for anyone to realize their dreams. Do you know the 'Glorious Heavenly Moat'?

However, as soon as this jealousy emerged in his heart, Zhao Liben forcibly suppressed it.

Today is not the same as before, Sun Shaozong and Jia Yu are fighting together, and if he really wants to deal with him, an incompetent judge, it will only be a matter of one sentence!

Thinking of this, Zhao Liben's waist softened a bit, until he saw Sun Shaozong's back disappearing into the corridor on the west side of the household registration office, he took a breath, put on his face full of authority, turned around and scolded, "Wait!" What exactly went wrong that attracted Lord Zhizhong to investigate in person?!"

"My lord's lesson!"

The two minor officials who were in charge of filing the household registration hurriedly called out to Qu, "I've always been loyal to my duties, why have you ever..."

"Humph!"

Zhao Liben didn't bother to listen to this prevarication, he flicked his sleeves, and said with a sneer, "Master Zhizhong is very aware of the subtleties, no one in this house knows? If there is any mistake, there is no need for me to be angry-you two can do it yourself Bar!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and walked away with a steady pace, leaving only two confused and frightened little officials standing in front of the door, looking at each other speechlessly.

However, Sun Shaozong, who left first, walked to the end of the narrow road and looked back at the household registration office hidden by maple leaves. His originally stretched brows were also tightly frowned.

Although he didn't have high expectations at first, he was disappointed after walking around the leaky household registration office.

A small remote courtyard; a roof with a distance of less than one meter from the wall; a transom window that allows people to get in easily; a rusty door lock that can be opened with a single touch...

That's all, but I also met a petty official with a cleanliness!

Trying to find any clues from it is simply a dream.

There was no other way, and Sun Shaozong had no choice but to resort to the last trick——the whole process of being cold and mysterious, trying to cheat some loopholes.

However, judging from the reactions of the two minor officials of the household registration office, the possibility of self-intentional robbery is unlikely. Right now, we can only hope that after the news spreads, the spy will show his feet in a panic because he is afraid of his impressive achievements in the past.

Thinking in this way, he strode to the criminal department.

Originally, I wanted to tell Zhao Wuwei to find some trustworthy ones, and secretly keep an eye on the troubles in the mansion - since Zhao Wuwei is the spy of Beizhen Fusi, he must have gone through multiple investigations, and he should not have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of the main room, he saw Jia Yucun sitting steadily on the upper chair.

Seeing Sun Shaozong enter the door, he stood up with a smile and said, "Brother is back."

Hearing this, he should have been waiting for a while.

Eighty percent of the time, he got the general report as soon as he arrived at the Yamen.

Sun Shaozong's heart couldn't help but move. If there were no accidents, the old fox should have already guessed what secrets he was secretly investigating, otherwise he wouldn't have known that he had gone to Zhao Liben's place, and would have come to the Criminal Department to wait.

But he acted like this, obviously he didn't want to get involved.

So Sun Shaozong acted as if nothing happened, and asked with a smile, "Brother has been here for a long time, is he going to give me some trouble again? Let's talk about it first, I can go to the prince's place to hide and relax at any time." .”

Jia Yucun's expression turned bitter, and he said helplessly, "It's not that I'm burdening you on purpose, it's because of the situation—here, see for yourself!"
