Detective in the Red Chamber

Although these remarks are seven points true and three points false, they sound reasonable and well-founded.

Luo Zhun pondered over and over in his heart, although he still felt that it was not safe enough, he really couldn't think of a better idea.

Especially after learning of Sun Shaozong's identity, his private interaction with the barbarians was even more afraid to put it on the table.

So in the end, he had no choice but to bow to the end again, and said with a wry smile, "Since Mr. Sun has already made a plan, Luo has no choice but to risk his life to accompany the gentleman—it's just that Mr. Wanwang has the people of this city in mind, and he can act as safely as possible."

Luo Zhun is considered a good official who can always think about the people.

The two untied their knots, and then divided the guests and hosts into seats.

Seeing that the table was being served like water, Sun Shaozong was waiting to eat it, but someone suddenly reported loudly, "My lord, Li Yuanwai from the west of the city sent two barbarians over. They are said to be the sons of the barbarian chief Yahamo!"

got~

Now it's a father-son team.

I just don't know who can last longer between father and son when they are cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

Chapter 593 The Daily Life of Wuxi City

This is really strange!

There were not many books on the shelves, but in the study filled with various tea pots, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but marvel at the lovesickness in his hands full of paper.

This was the first 'letter from home' he received after he went south, but the sender was not from Ruan Rong, Xiang Ling, or Second Sister You, let alone from Big Brother Cheap.

This letter was actually sent by the servants of the Rongguo Mansion entrusted by 'Ping'er' all the way!

The reason why the name 'Ping'er' was put in quotation marks was because Sun Shaozong couldn't believe that this letter was really written by Ping'er.

Not to mention whether Ping'er has the ability to send people from thousands of miles to Huguang to deliver letters, but the lingering beauty in the letter is quite different from Ping'er's usual shyness.

But why is this person pretending to be Ping'er and writing to himself?

One must know that the relationship between Ping'er and himself has been completely made public now, and even if someone wants to make a fuss about it, there is probably nowhere to start.

After reading it back and forth several times, Sun Shaozong still couldn't figure out what the connotation was hidden in this letter.

In desperation, he could only choose not to be surprised, refolded it, stuffed it back into the envelope, and pressed it under the paperweight.

He got up and stretched himself out, seeing willow shoots on the moon outside, Sun Shaozong called Wang Zhen to confirm that the military camp, city defense, and horse hunting places had all been reported safe, and he was ready to go to bed to recharge his batteries.

This was the third night after he led the troops into the city. With the active cooperation of Luo Zhun, the Pioneer Battalion had completely taken over the defense of Wuxi City. Entered the vanguard battalion.

Things went well, which was beyond Sun Shaozong's expectation.

It seems that fame, no matter what era it is in, is a hard currency that can be discounted—if it hadn’t been for the repeated appearances in the mansion newspaper before, and the impression of wisdom and courage, and a bright future, the latter is obviously more important. Obtaining such help is definitely a dream.

Because of this, when Luo Zhun prepared the mansion and invited Sun Shaozong to live in him, he naturally couldn't shirk too much, so he had to "reluctantly" give up his obsession with sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, and moved into this mansion located in the west of the city. .

Anyway, in two days, I will lead troops into the mountain to sweep again, and I am not afraid of others saying that I only care about pleasure.

Besides, this large courtyard is empty, there is not even a decent servant, and it is really not a pleasure to have Wang Zhen and a few rude soldiers around.

Hey~

Bury the iron tower-like body in the brand-new bedding, and while the whole body is comfortable, it will inevitably give birth to some emptiness and loneliness.

Holding the quilt in his arms, he rolled on the bed several times, making the bed board creak, but Sun Shaozong still didn't feel sleepy at all.

He was thinking about how to re-deduce the layout of the city defense during the day to see if there were any omissions in it, but suddenly there was a faint sound of the zither coming into his ears.

He pricked up his ears and listened for a moment. Although he didn't know anything about the rhythm, he could faintly discern some sadness and sadness.

After roughly matching the direction from which the sound of the zither came from with the surrounding terrain, Sun Shaozong immediately came to a conclusion—the sound of the zither sounded in the middle of the night was probably just to attract his attention.

Could it be that his reputation as a god in judging cases has already spread to the ears of the people in Wuxi City?

He was a little complacent in his heart, but Sun Shaozong didn't mean to ask the truth - Luo Zhun had already handed over the general affairs, and if he meddled in the local government affairs indiscriminately, he would be a little ignorant.

What's more, through these few days of contact, although Luo Zhun may not be a capable official, he can be called impartial and upright. If there is any serious injustice, he should not turn a deaf ear to it.

hmm~

Think of it as a lullaby.

Thinking in this way, Sun Shaozong closed his eyes, and listened to the resentful piano sound from the perspective of pure appreciation.

But as the saying goes, 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop'.

Sun Shaozong managed to calm down, and gradually became sleepy, but suddenly he heard someone knock on the door lightly, followed by Wang Zhen's wretched voice, "My lord, the one who plays the piano outside is actually a rare beauty." .”

Sun Shaozong "..."

It seems that even if he is not regarded as a eunuch, this guy is still a standard treacherous man!

"roll!"

He yelled and cursed angrily, and the outside suddenly became quiet again.

It's just that when Sun Shaozong listened to the sound of the piano, he always felt that instead of being hypnotized, it made his heart feel more dry.

grandma's!

He scolded Wang Zhen bloodily in his heart, and Sun Shaozong covered his head with a quilt, and started to deduce the loopholes in the city defense again.

Silent all night.

However, he said that in the early morning of the second day, Sun Shaozong got up with lingering anger, and was about to get rid of Wang Zhenfa, so as to get rid of the anger in his heart.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the front hall, after Wang Zhen was summoned, they saw this rabbit-like son, with two red eyes, as if he hadn't slept well all night.

"You are..."

"Go back to the words of the adults."

Wang Zhen stepped forward and said with a smile, "The humble official was afraid that the little lady might have something wrong, so I went to investigate last night, but found that she was actually the concubine of the owner of this house."

The concubine of the owner of this house?

Originally, Sun Shaozong didn't care much about the woman's origin, but after hearing this, he suddenly felt a little wary.

Couldn't it be that Luo Zhun acted face-to-face and back-faced, seemingly loving the people like a son, but actually robbing the people's property in his own name?

So he immediately ordered, "What's going on, tell me quickly!"

Seeing that Sun Shaozong's idea was aroused, Wang Zhen described in detail what he had found out as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

But it turned out that this mansion was the mansion of the tea merchant Li Changshun.

Three days ago, Li Changshun heard that the Walen Village was severely damaged by the officers and soldiers, and even Tong Ximan's leader, Yahamo, was captured alive by the officers and soldiers. How could he give up his concubine?

Dang Li was in a hurry and took people to chase after Zhao Haogu and San Yiniang.

Unexpectedly, he made a mistake in his busy schedule, and his servants recognized Nuha's identity as a barbarian, which alarmed the neighbors.

In the excitement of the crowd, Li Changshun couldn't get off the tiger, so he had no choice but to make the mistake and ordered Nuha to be captured and sent to the government.

As a result, Nuha and his father, Yahamo, were sentenced to death by Ling Chi, but Li Changshun also failed to escape, and was pulled out by Nuha in court, and he was charged with adultery and treason.

However, in view of the fact that he took the initiative to turn Nuha to the newspaper officer, Luo Zhun specially gave him a lenient sentence. He was only sentenced to confiscation of family property, and he did not offend his family.

After hearing the cause and effect, Sun Shaozong felt at ease, as long as the house was not forcibly robbed, it would be fine.

"grown ups."

At this time, Wang Zhen said mischievously, "I even found out that the woman who played the piano last night was Li Changshun's third aunt. I guess she was used to being rich and powerful, and couldn't bear the sudden poverty, so she came here to flirt and recommend herself to the adults... ..."

"roll!"

Sun Shaozong glared, and blocked the guy's nasty words back, just now he heard what he said, and secretly praised this guy for being a good guy, but who knows that he pimped him again after a few words.

Taking advantage of the situation, he kicked Wang Zhen staggeringly, and ordered angrily, "Get ready for the horse, let's go to the camp to have a big pot meal today."

As he said that, he took the gilt mountain armor and put it on his body.

Wang Zhen was kicked unexpectedly, how dare he talk about the romance?

He rushed out of the living room in a hurry, and prepared all the horse armor and other items neatly.

He opened the corner door, and was about to invite Sun Shaozong to leave, but suddenly saw a person kneeling upright outside the door, but it was the third aunt of the Li family who was playing the piano last night, Tai Qingniang.

This little girl is quite persistent!

Wang Zhen looked at the facial features, eyes and facial features that I felt pitiful for, and then at the graceful figure that was both ripe and soft. Although he had just eaten the first batch, he still felt that it was necessary for an adult to inspect the goods himself.

So he ordered his left and right not to pay attention to the little lady, let alone drive her away, and hurried back to the living room.

But he didn't tell the truth, he just reported in a businesslike manner, "My lord, the horses are ready, look at us..."

"Go."

Sun Shaozong didn't think much about it, he strode out of the living room and arrived near the corner gate, and saw three horses in front of the door in the shape of a Chinese character, and the two horses behind each carried Frostmourne and the Golden Hammer on their backs.

He chose the only one who was free, and prepared to get on his horse and rush to the barracks.

Unexpectedly, when he got to the horse, he suddenly saw a woman kneeling outside the door.

Sun Shaozong frowned unconsciously, and wanted to let the left and right guards drive them away, but looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, he was a little soft-hearted after all.

"Wang Zhen."

So he raised his hand and pointed, and ordered, "Go and ask, and see what she wants to do!"

Wang Zhen was waiting for Sun Shaozong's order, and he responded crisply, happily rushed up to the general, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Hey, you little lady is so rude, how dare you block my general's way?!"

After all, he used to hang out in the Dragon Guards before, and the way he frowned and pressed the knife was quite majestic.

But Qing Niang never panicked at all, she raised her head a little, and said in a mournful voice, "The women of the people did not dare to offend General Hu Wei, but because of the situation, they had to be bold and presumptuous."

As he said that, he kowtowed and said, "I would also like to ask the little general to be merciful, and to report to the woman, so that the woman can share a few words in front of the general."

This little lady is really courageous.

But think about it, if she is really a delicate woman, how dare she play the piano in the back alley last night?

He secretly praised in his heart, but Wang Zhen still asked in a tone of voice, "If you have anything to say, it's the same as telling me first! Otherwise, how would I know, are you trying to harm my general?!"

When Qingniang heard this, she had to smile bitterly and said, "Although my master was forced by the barbarians, he violated the king's law, and the women don't have anything to say--I just ask the general to see that my Li family has also redeemed my meritorious deeds. The official family broke the inheritance of the Waleng Village, so that my Li family can continue the blood..."

"What's the mess?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhen couldn't help but asked inexplicably, "Didn't Master Luo forgive your family and only blame Li Changshun alone? It is said that the house was stolen, but based on the calculations of the Li family's family business, the total amount of money from a private house of a hundred taels Can you still keep it?"

Seeing that Qingniang didn't retort, he spread his hands together again, "Since you're fine and you still have some money left, who said you're going to cut off your family's bloodline?"

"The little general doesn't know something."

Qingniang's misery was mixed with helplessness, "After the news of my master's adultery with barbarians spread, the people in the city came to see him one after another, and my family's daily expenses such as food and clothing were ten times higher than ordinary people."

"That's all right, my young master has been frightened one after another, and now he is seriously ill, and there is no doctor in the city who is willing to come to treat him."

"The women followed the women around, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand. In desperation, they had no choice but to offend General Huwei..."

In fact, Li Changshun's family may not be the only big family in Wuxi City who has connections with the barbarians.

But now that the people's hearts are going, who dares to show the sad state of rabbit death and fox?

As a result, the whole city had nothing to do, just waiting for the Li family father and son to go to the imperial power together.

Seeing that no one dared to take care of this matter, the Li family turned their ideas on Sun Shaozong's head. Now, in the cusp of the storm, I am afraid that only Sun Shaozong, who is regarded by the people in the city as the god of war and the nemesis of barbarians, does not need to care about any public opinion.

After Wang Zhen asked clearly that the eldest young master was born to his wife, not this Qingniang's flesh and blood, he felt more and more that this little woman was extraordinary.

So I went back and recounted the ins and outs in detail.

Hearing that this woman wanted him to come forward to find a doctor for the Li family's son-in-law, Sun Shaozong felt that this woman was loyal, and thought that since he lived in the Li family, it was somewhat of a fate, so he agreed casually.

Wang Zhen was appointed to accompany her on the journey, and Sun Shaozong didn't talk to the woman, so he led the rest of his guards straight to the school grounds.

Exams, preparations, strikers...

After working hard all day, it was not until the night fell that he was able to return to Li's residence.

As usual, he was about to go to the study to take off his armor when he suddenly heard a familiar sound of a piano coming from the backyard.

tsk~

Sun Shaozong turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhen, only to see this guy with a dog-legged smile and said, "The woman is grateful for your kindness, and insists on playing another song for you in person."

These words can only coax fools!

However, Sun Shaozong knew that this guy was trying to be a pimp, but he still left the matter to him, and he might not have some 'expectations' in his heart.

Hey~
