Detective in the Red Chamber

Chapter 709 Unbelievable

Sun Shaozong's words obviously had a certain impact on Liu Xianglian, which is about the same as the collapse of idols in later generations, and the mental journey of fans turning black.

Of course, the degree of intensity is definitely not as good as at least at least he will not commit suicide because of this, let alone pick up a knife and fight desperately with Second Brother Sun.

"All right."

Sun Shaozong reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Don't just stand here, just go to Shuntian Mansion and ask Lin Delu to collect all the written words related to black posts, and bring them back to Dali Temple. Not very complete."

Liu Xianglian nodded in a trance, turned around and walked out for a dozen steps, then stopped suddenly, turned back at a trot, and said solemnly: "Second brother, you must bring that thief to justice this time. !"

His mental journey is going fast.

Sun Shaozong nodded in agreement, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Just talking about the design modus operandi, the owner of the black post may not be so clever.

But what is incredible is that he can always discover the dark side of the dead and find the right avenger.

The previous item, in this era of occlusion of information, although it can be called a miracle, can barely be explained.

As for the latter one, Sun Shaozong wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure out how he did it.

You must know that even parents, wives and children may not all dare to avenge their blood relatives with their own hands, not to mention that he often finds some outsiders.

And this is not a sales pitch. If this is not the case, find another one. If this is the case, news will inevitably leak before and after the crime, so what is the point of his carefully designed modus operandi?

But time and time again, he found the right avenger accurately, as if he had never failed at all.

I'm afraid it can no longer be described as well-informed, right?

How exactly did he do it?

Is it

Can the owner of the black post be pinched?

If it was before, Sun Shaozong would definitely not believe such nonsense, but thinking about what Prince Yizhong said back then, he inevitably hesitated.

Could it be that in the world of Red Mansions, there really are

crunch

Just as he was dreaming, the iron door of the interrogation room suddenly opened from the inside. Xu wiped his wet hands with a handkerchief, stepped out of the door gracefully, and said to Sun Shaozong with a smile: "My lord, if you have any questions, just go in." gone."

That coquettish figure is simply more reckless than the sisters in the kiln. Next time there is a similar errand, it's better to hire someone else who is smart, so as not to ruin his reputation for nothing.

Thinking about the idea of ​​killing the donkey, Sun Shaozong entered the interrogation room first, and the guards who were carrying the corpse also entered in a file.

When he came in again this time, the interrogation room was much quieter. Yang Hancai had clearly entered the sage's time at this time, both his head and head drooped limply, and he was no longer as excited as before.

Sun Shaozong leaned closer, carefully observed the copper tongue, and found that a hair he had deliberately left before was still firmly pressed under the side of the copper pipe.

It seems that the couple are quite obedient.

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips silently, not knowing what it was like.

In fact, Yang Han confessed yesterday that he was ordered by the emperor to use the hearts and livers of boys and girls to refine elixir, so Sun Shaozong should isolate him and not allow anyone to have contact with him.

Only by doing so can we ensure that the news will not be leaked further.

But Sun Shaozong did not do this, but continued to order the husband and wife to torture him, and even deliberately ordered the husband and wife to only torture and not interrogate.

I am afraid that even Sun Shaozong himself can hardly say what kind of thoughts are in it.

But looking at the situation in front of him, no matter what thoughts he had, it was obvious that they had all been in vain.

Thinking about it, if the husband and wife who were born in the White Lotus Sect couldn't resist this temptation, they would have already rotted in the ground.

At this moment, the two corpses were neatly arranged on the ground.

Sun Shaozong made a gesture, and several guards bowed and retreated, taking advantage of the opportunity to close the iron gate.

Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to ask questions, he turned around and inspected the opposite wall, and made sure that the copper pipes used for sound transmission had been stuffed tightly with silk and other things, so he stretched out his hand and pulled out Yang Hancai's mouth. The copper tongue inside.

"Pooh"

As if a switch had been flipped, Yang Hancai spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, panting heavily, and mumbled: "Sun, you are so cruel! You let these two lunatics torture me for two days. night!"

The episode just now that was not suitable for children shouldn't be regarded as torture, right?

"Aren't you afraid that I will go all out and tell the truth to that brat?!"

In fact, Sun Shaozong secretly hoped that he would do this. Whether it was Wu Shuigen and his wife who spread the news, or reported it to the emperor through the channel of Beizhen Fusi, at least he would no longer have to be in a dilemma.

In the final analysis, he still lacks the confidence to face giants like Shang Zhongshun Wang.

Especially when the other party is still in the name of the emperor.

I'm the one who drags my family with my mouth, risking my life for a few little beggars

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong felt very ashamed. He hadn't paid the party dues in the past few years, and his thinking was really depraved. What about upholding justice?

If it continues to develop like this, it is afraid that it will not be much better than the owner of the black post.

Criticizing himself in his heart, Sun Shaozong pointed at the two corpses, and asked without answering: "If you take a closer look, maybe you can recognize these two?"

In fact, Yang Hancai had seen the two corpses a long time ago, and he was wondering what Sun Shaozong's intention was in bringing the two dead monks over.

At this time, I heard that I was asked to identify them carefully, so I tried my best to round my cloudy eyes and looked at the two corpses one by one.

The first thing he looked at was the old monk in cassock, but after staring at it for a long time, he only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Then he turned to look at the younger one.

This time, after staring for 2 minutes, Yang Han suddenly cried out, "It's him?! You actually killed him?!"

As he spoke, he glared at Sun Shaozong.

this attitude

It seems that he is the man behind the little monk.

Of course, not necessarily the only one.

At this time, Yang Han came back to his senses again, looking at the monk robes on the two of them, confused, frightened and annoyed.

Putting together the many expressions, it is enough to do a set of facial exercises.

But it all turned into relief in the end.

Only then did Yang Han sigh slightly, and asked hoarsely, "This must be the work of King Zhongshun, right?"

Sun Shaozong didn't say a word, he stuffed the copper tongue depressor into the chewing head casually.

He came here just to confirm the true identities of the two monks, now that the result has been reached, why would he waste more time talking with Yang Han?

Then again, even though Yang Hancai guessed the murderer wrongly, the happiest one now is probably none other than King Zhongshun.

Without the two actual handlers, Master Daoyan and his disciples, it is simply a dream to convict a big boss like King Zhongshun with Yang Hancai alone.

Of course, there is also Shi Zhoumo, the head of the palace, here.

But compared to asking two Taoist priests who have no official position, it is not so easy to win Zhou Mo.

What's more, according to King Zhongshun's behavior style, he may not give himself this opportunity.

"grown ups."

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Biao came up to report: "The chief minister of the Zhongshun Palace wants to see you, and he is waiting in the Zuosi government office now."

This guy actually took the initiative to come to the door? !

Chapter 710

Although just now he had seriously considered how to get Zhou Mo, a key witness.

But now when he heard that Zhou Mo had come to him on his own initiative, Sun Shaozong had the first thought, but instead he shied away—after all, the uncontrollable variable between 'active' and 'passive' has not increased by a single bit.

Right now it is not clear why Zhou Mo is looking for him, let alone what his current situation is.

Once done wrong, this so-called key witness will become a hot potato.

At that time, it's fine if it hurts yourself, but if it hurts his wife and children at home, how can Sun Shaozong bear it?

Now Shaozong Sun understands why in those time travels, it is always mentioned that "those who have property have perseverance", so the army composed of good families will be more effective.

Bah~

To put it bluntly, it's just a drag on the family and the mouth, and there is no way to go all out for disobedience, so that the ruler can be enslaved!

But the problem is...

There were not many available people in Dali Temple, even if they wanted to send someone to inquire about Zhou Mo's intentions, they couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

When he was struggling, a small official hurried over from outside. He wanted to report something to Wang Biao. When he saw Sun Shaozong standing aside, he hurriedly changed his direction, bowed and said, "My lord, there is another official sent outside. It is rumored that Princess Beijing came to visit, and she also wanted to see you, my lord, by name!"

The princess with long legs is here?

This was actually a two-way discussion. After all, with Wei Ying's usual temper, since the Niu family had already approached her, how could she be surprised?

Therefore, Sun Shaozong was on the boat that day, and specifically asked her to come to Dali Temple to make a fuss in two days—mainly due to physical injuries, so she couldn’t go to work and act right away—so as not to be seen by others.

But what a coincidence she came!

Sun Shaozong's eyes turned to his heart, and he pretended to be flustered and ordered: "Dianli Wang, you go quietly to my official office and get my casual clothes - remember, don't disturb Princess Beijing!"

Seeing his anxious appearance, Wang Biao and others all understood that Princess Beijing has always been a fiery temper, not to mention she is a girl, even if she wins in a fight with her, it may not be honorable.

Therefore, even King Zhongshun had to back away, let alone a subject like Lord Sun?

Therefore, Wang Biao didn't doubt Sun Shaozong's intentions at all, and immediately agreed, and hurried out of the prison.

And Sun Shaozong was not idle, taking advantage of this time, he ordered Zuo Sizheng Tang Weishan to be found, and ordered him to join Daxing and Wanping counties to summon the beggar security chiefs in the city to conduct an internal investigation.

In particular, the area left behind by Chief Wang Bao of Daxing County must be investigated especially.

The case planned by the master of the black post has always been based on revenge. According to the information obtained now, this time should be no exception.

The little beggars have no father or mother. If someone really loves them, they should take them home and adopt them, so they won't continue to wander the streets.

Therefore, those who sympathize with them, and even have the idea of ​​revenge, should most likely be beggars.

Of course, with the usual style of the owner of the black post, it may not be so easy to find out the clues easily.

As Tang Weishan made it clear, Wang Biao had also 'stealed' Sun Shaozong's casual clothes.

So Sun Shaozong changed his clothes in the interrogation room, and ordered Wu Shuigen and his wife to guard inside and outside the iron gate, not allowing anyone to approach without permission, and then quietly left Dali Temple through the main gate.

But he went out from the front door, turned his face and went around the corner door again.

Just thinking about how to avoid leaving traces, he called the coachman Zhang Cheng over to help pass the message, suddenly a man appeared beside him, and said in a respectful voice, "My lord, the villain is here."

Turning his head to look, it turned out to be Hong Jiu, the chief beggar.

Only then did Sun Shaozong remember that he had ordered Wang Jin, the concierge, to ask Hong Jiu to come and stand by in the morning.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the court's decree to spread some public opinion news through the mouth of the beggars under his command, so as to test the reaction of the Zhongshun Palace.

But before the court's decree was formalized, the corpses of Daoyan's master and apprentice floated over along the water first, and Sun Shaozong forgot about it when he got busy.

And with Dao Yan's master and apprentice dead, there was no need for Hong Jiu to spread any rumors.

Right now, it's just a matter of time for him to send a message to Zhang Cheng.

Sun Shaozong gave Hong Jiu a wink, signaling him to wait here, and then went to the "letter writing" stand on the corner of the street to temporarily borrow a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and an envelope.

Not long after, Hong Jiu took the wax-sealed letter and found Wei Liben—this Wei Liben was the black guy who was acting in Dali Temple that day and almost tricked Sun Shaozong into a trap.

That day in the Wupeng boat, I once heard Wei Ying, Princess of Beijing, say that this Wei Li was originally her dowry servant, and he was regarded as her confidant, otherwise she would not have dared to entrust him with the errand of the fairy dance.

Just now, from a long distance away, Sun Shaozong discovered that he was mixed with a group of women's soldiers, so he asked Hong Jiu to hand over the letter to him.

After reading the contents of the letter, Wei Liben hurriedly handed it over to a servant woman, and ordered her to send it to Dali Temple, and asked the princess to read it in person.

…………

Seeing this scene from afar, Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief.

He wrote that letter with his left hand, and inside he only identified himself as the 'owner of the black awning boat'.

In his letter, he stated that Prince Zhongshun sent Chang Shiqian to Dali Temple, perhaps because of Wei Ruolan's case, and asked Wei Ying to find out his reason for coming.

Apart from this, no additional information was disclosed.

But Wei Ying read it, and should be able to see the source of the letter, and when she inquired about Zhou Mo's purpose, she would naturally try to inform herself.
