Detective in the Red Chamber

"It's not his fault."

Qiu Yunfei spread his fat hands left and right, and said helplessly, "The elder brother of Yang Hancai is Yang Anbang, the servant of the Ministry of punishment. It would be really weird if he didn't come out to stop him."

"Yang Shilang's younger brother?"

Sun Shaozong frowned involuntarily. He had some friendship with Xu Liang, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was no stranger to Yang Anbang, the right servant.

This person has successively served as the fifth grade of the Zhejiang Procurator, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi, the deputy envoy of Shandong, and the envoy of Shandong.

About three years ago, Ji Gong was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of punishment.

This Yang Shilang is upright and upright, since the day he took office, the number of cases that have been dismissed for retrial at the local level has increased by more than [-]%.

And it hits the nail on the head every time, leaving people speechless.

Therefore, the prestige in the Ministry of Punishment now not only overwhelmed Xu Liang, the left servant, but even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment paled in comparison.

Speaking of it, it seems that it is somewhat similar to Sun Shaozong's situation in Shuntian Mansion.

However, Yang Shilang didn't have the slightest thought of being a hero. During the autumn inspection of Guangde in 11, he picked the list of hook-ups reported by Shuntian Mansion. prestige.

As a result, it took more than a month of work, and nothing wrong was found. On the contrary, Sun Shaozong received the holy order and left the capital to seek thieves.

However, the two also forged a beam.

Who would have thought that after two years, the first case that Sun Shaozong went back to Beijing to investigate would be Yang Anbang's younger brother!

"Second brother!"

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was silent, Qiu Yunfei immediately patted his chest and said, "At that time, I didn't have many people around me, so I couldn't take down Yang Hancai. Today I will bring more troops..."

"No!"

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop his words, "Until you find conclusive evidence, don't act rashly for now!"

If Sun Shaozong personally came forward in this case, he might as well investigate it more aggressively.

Anyway, there was no subordinate relationship between the three law divisions, and Xu Liang, the left servant, also had some friendship with him. Even if Yang Anbang fought back angrily, it would be difficult for Sun Shaozong to be dealt with for a while.

However, Qiu Yunfei's Department of Criminal Justice is under the dual leadership of the government office and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs - originally there was a layer of Hebei Criminal Division, but last year because of the disagreement between the upper and lower government orders, Shuntian Mansion was again under the vertical leadership of the imperial court, but it was under the jurisdiction of Hebei in name .

Qiu Yunfei was in the government office, and he had always had a quarrel with Zhizhong Ge, and this offended Yang Shilang, who is very popular in the Ministry of Criminal Justice...

Even with himself and his father Qiu Taiwei as backers, I'm afraid they will be constrained everywhere.

After some consideration, Sun Shaozong ordered again, "You go back to the government office today, try to see if you can report this case to Dali Temple."

Reporting the case to Dali Temple is the right of Fu Yin and Zhizhong.

That old fox in Jia Yucun would definitely not interfere with such matters, so he could only operate through Zhizhong Ge Changcun.

Fortunately, that fellow is breaking pots and wrecking recently, as long as Qiu Yunfei puts in some effort, it may not be impossible to achieve his goal.

"in addition."

After Qiu Yunfei agreed, he added, "Maybe you might as well check again, is there any monk, Taoist alchemist in Beijing who likes to raise poisonous insects."

Chapter 660 Nosy, business, family affairs

After discussing the progress of the case, Sun Shaozong went to Dali Temple to be on duty.

First he clicked on the corner gate on the east side, and then went to the Zuosi government office in the West Kuayuan, summoned Sizheng Tang Weishan, and ordered him to work together with Liu Xianglian to briefly summarize and classify the cases of mob fights that occurred in recent years.

After explaining the errand, Sun Shaozong looked through the submitted official documents and found that they were mostly trivial matters, so he simply ignored them and went to the inner hall of Juzhong to meet Wei Yi and Li Wenshan.

Today's morning meeting finally stopped talking about animals, but it didn't mention any official business. The main discussion was the Huguang Maojian that Sun Shaozong gave away yesterday, and the Henan Xinyang Maojian.

Wei Yi and Li Wenshan disagreed on their own opinions, from the evaluation of historical origins to the color and fragrance, they were red-faced, and finally agreed that it was the famous prostitute Churui of Yanhuanlou who brewed the most mellow and authentic Kung Fu tea.

Sun Shaozong "..."

Just when Sun Shaozong was speechless, someone outside suddenly reported that the cabinet had approved a proposal to order Zuo Shaoqing and Sun Shaozong to choose a day to re-examine the case of Wei Ruolan shooting and killing the eldest son of Niu.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly went outside to get the official document, and then presented it to Shangguan Wei Yi for review.

Wei Yi took a few glances, then handed it back to Sun Shaozong, and said solemnly, "Since the imperial court intends to let Sun Shaoqing judge this case alone, I can't say anything more - I only hope that Sun Shaoqing will be upright and upright, don't bother." Live up to the name of 'Divine Judgment'."

As for you who are 'untouchable', even if you are not an independent judge, I am afraid you have nothing to explain, right?

Sun Shaozong slandered inwardly, but took advantage of the momentum and bowed and said, "Since I have a superior order, I'll go back and read through the files carefully, so as to set a date for my promotion—sit down for a moment, my lords, and Sun will leave first. "

The two hurriedly returned the gift together.

Sun Shaozong took two steps back, turned around and left the inner hall, but couldn't help but let out a foul breath first.

Although the morning meetings of later generations may not all have something to say, they are all vernacular at any rate, and it sounds effortless—unlike these two cloud-covered people who discuss the advantages and disadvantages of tea, they can pull out the ancient sages one by one. 'Whip corpse'.

However, when talking about the prostitute at the end, the words were relatively down-to-earth.

Speaking of...

As soon as this Goulan brothel was mentioned, You Shaoqing and Li Wenshan complained a lot about the Shuntian Mansion, complaining a lot about being arrogant, tyrannical, and unsympathetic to the people.

To put it bluntly, he just hated Shuntian Mansion's persistent raid on private prostitutes in the past few years, which caused the prices of brothels in the city to skyrocket, which made him, a dignified young man, have to refrain from his flirtatiousness.

Book return to main story

He didn't mention the dirty matter of driving up prices, but he said that Sun Shaozong went back to the Zuosi official office, and while ordering someone to fetch Wei Ruolan's case file, he was quite puzzled.

When he first heard that the imperial court intended to allow him to interrogate the case of Wei Ruolan shooting and killing Niu's patriarch's son alone, Sun Shaozong felt that something was wrong—since it had been delayed for two years, why was he suddenly in a hurry to retrial?

So secretly sent someone to find out.

Only then did he learn that Niu Jizong, the brave man, was seriously ill, and because he knew that time was running out, he wrote a letter in blood to ask the court to give his son justice.

After checking here, there is a reason for the retrial.

However, no matter how dull a person is, after these two years of wasting time, he should see the situation clearly - the court, especially the emperor, is simply impossible to uphold justice for the Niu family.

At this time, Niu Jizong also submitted a blood letter to urge a retrial...

Could it be that you are sick and confused?

Or does this old thing actually have other thoughts?

When the subordinate officials brought the case file, Sun Shaozong flipped through it while making wild suspicions, and it took until Xiangwu.

After transcribing several ambiguous testimonies on paper one by one, Sun Shaozong stretched his muscles and waited quietly for Zuo Temple's helper to come over to eat something to fill his stomach.

Unexpectedly, before the cooks arrived, the people from the Prince's Mansion arrived first, saying that His Highness the Prince had set up a family banquet to congratulate Mr. Sun on being promoted to the imperial court.

A few days ago, the crown prince had already sent a congratulatory gift, and now he hastily set up a congratulatory banquet...

Could it be because of Wei Ruolan's case?

Even so, you shouldn't be in a hurry to send someone to invite you at noon, and talk about it after the office is over. Wouldn't it attract people's attention?

It has to be said that this prince is unreliable in his work!

But since he had already sent someone to invite him, it was difficult for Sun Shaozong to go, so he ordered his subordinates to take half a day off and went straight to the Prince's Mansion for the banquet.

Speechless all the way.

When he arrived at the gate of the prince's mansion, before he could give his name and surname, Dexiu, the prime minister of the mansion, had already come out to welcome him and lead Sun Shaozong to the flower hall in the backyard.

"Second brother!"

When passing by the hall in the front yard, he suddenly saw another person coming from the diagonal, but it was Sun Zhaolin, the younger brother of the Crown Princess whom he had met the day before yesterday.

Seeing that Sun Zhaolin stepped forward and saluted, he wondered, "Why did the second brother come here at this time?"

It's a bit strange to ask this question, after the crown prince's persevering publicity, who doesn't know that Sun Shaozong is his "minister of the shoulders and arms"?

There is some communication between the monarch and his ministers, what's so strange about it?

At this time, Wang Dexiu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile, "I don't know about it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was overworked and ill because he was worried about the government. Now that Mr. Sun is invited here, it is precisely to prescribe the right medicine and clear up the stagnation."

The word 'dredging' seems to have been used by Sun Shaozong a few days ago, but now it sounds awkward.

But these are small details, what is really worth paying attention to is that the prince really had a quarrel over the marriage of the Sun family's daughter - otherwise, he would not have rejected the brother-in-law on the grounds of being ill.

Although Sun Zhaolin is young, he is not easy to be fooled. After a little thought, he figured out the crux of the matter. His face turned red and he clenched his fists tightly, loosen them, and swallowed them with difficulty. This sulking.

He bowed solemnly to Wang Dexiu, "I also ask Wangfucheng to pass the message for me. I just want to see my sister, and I don't dare to bother His Highness the Crown Prince."

"This……"

Wang Dexiu grinned his teeth, his brows were knotted in worry, and with great difficulty he managed to say, "My Lady... My Lady takes care of you day and night, and now she's too tired and has fallen ill. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see guests."

Sun Zhaolin was finally annoyed, and said angrily, "Am I also a foreigner..."

"My dear brother, don't worry."

Sun Shaozong raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'll go in and ask for you. If it's not the epidemic that is easy to get sick, it's okay to come and see him."

Only then did Sun Zhaolin restrain his sullen anger, and after solemnly thanking Sun Shaozong, he stepped out of the way.

The two started on the road again, and when they reached the flower hall shaded by the maple trees, Wang Dexiu stood guard and motioned Sun Shaozong to go in and meet the prince himself.

Sun Shaozong didn't doubt that there was him, so he went to the front of the hall on his own, and was about to climb up the stairs, when he suddenly saw a woman in a palace dress kneeling inside the door with her upper body upright.

tsk~

After the prince lost his capital, he seemed to like to rape women even more.

But looking at it this time, it doesn't look like those few dancers are miserable, so Sun Shaozong didn't take a closer look, so he entered the room without squinting.

Just as he was about to carry his luggage to the prince who was sitting at the table, the kneeling woman suddenly jumped up from the ground!

Subconsciously looked sideways, but saw the exquisite facial features with a face of shame and indignation, but who else could it be if it wasn't the princess?

Sun Shaozong was very embarrassed at the moment, and thought that if he had known that the princess was kneeling here, he would not have rushed in rashly.

Just thinking about how to resolve this embarrassing situation, he suddenly saw the prince slapping the table and sternly yelling, "Bitch, who made you get up?!"

Chapter 661

Originally, being caught by Sun Shaozong bowing his knees to plead guilty was enough for the Crown Princess to feel ashamed and annoyed.

Hearing this low maid's sound now, it was more like a bloody gash had been ripped open in the chest.

It would be fine if only the husband and wife were present, but now it is clear that there are outsiders in front of them, but the prince is still humiliating himself like this-how can the relationship between husband and wife be so cold? !

At that moment, the blush on her face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pitiful paleness.

She heard her holding back the grief and anger in her heart, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness thinks he is drunk, how can there be any servants in this room? If you need someone to serve you, I will call some of you here."

Saying that, without waiting for the crown prince to respond, he gave Sun Shaozong a slight nod, turned his head and staggered out of the flower hall.

But the prince didn't know what was wrong, he got up and pointed at him and scolded "You bastard..."

"Your Highness!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, pretending to be ignorant, and asked, "I just heard that your brother-in-law came to announce the good news, but was rejected by Wangfu Cheng, but I don't know why?"

"Announcement?!"

When the prince heard this, he immediately forgot to chase and scold the princess, sat back in his seat angrily, patted the table and said angrily, "Do you know what kind of happiness he reported?!"

Sun Shaozong still turned a blind eye to his fury, and said with a calm smile, "I am here to congratulate Your Highness on his rising prestige, even princes and relatives are willing to be dogs."

"you……"

At the beginning, the prince thought that Sun Shaozong didn't know about the fact that King Xinyang married Sun's concubine, but now hearing his words, he clearly knew it already.

So the scolding that was originally prepared was difficult to vomit quickly.

He raised his head and stared at Sun Shaozong for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief, and said depressedly, "I also know that I shouldn't abolish the public for my own sake——in the current situation, it is the best policy to take advantage of Wu Chengxun!"

"But the Sun family knew that Gu and him had a long history of suspicion, but they still insisted on marrying him! Just now that lowly maid..."

Speaking of this, the crown prince finally felt something was wrong. After all, the crown princess is also his wife, and in the future she will be the mother of the world, so how can she be called a lowly maidservant in front of the courtiers?

So he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Just now, Mrs. Sun kept urging the solitary to be patient. This is clearly accurate. I can't do anything to the two of them for a while, so I have nothing to fear!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth in annoyance.

To be honest, the Crown Princess' natal family did not act properly.

Although it is mainly because Erfang insists on going his own way, the father of the crown princess can cut off contact with Erfang on the day of marriage, and even go to the Prince's mansion to explain in person.

But in order not to hurt his brotherhood, he insisted on sending Sun Zhaolin to see off his relatives.

To the crown prince, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.
