Detective in the Red Chamber

As Sun Shaozong said, he jumped out of the carriage conveniently and walked towards the east corner gate of Dali Temple not far away.

"Master Sun, Master Sun stay behind!"

Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, there suddenly appeared a charming maidservant from the slant, and she rushed to the front with her skirt in her hand. She first said a blessing, and then covered her heaving chest and said: "My maidservant has seen Mrs. Shaoqing." , my girl has something to discuss with you, and I would like to ask you to condescend and go to a quiet place with your slaves to talk."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Shaozong immediately recognized that the person who came was Xia Jingui's personal servant girl, Baochan.

But now his mind is full of deduction of the case, how could he bother to pay attention to Xia Jingui?

Right now, I was waiting to open my mouth to refuse, but after thinking about it, Princess Beijing Jing helped me to perform a farce in the yamen yesterday—although I was robbed of the limelight before the performance was over—but I couldn’t see myself from the beginning to the end .

Thinking about it, she was also worried, so she sent Xia Jingui to find out what happened.

It doesn't matter if I evade it, if they think it's nothing but nothing, then something will happen...

That's it.

Let's meet again.

The matter of Xia Jingui's control has also been resolved, tell her the benefits, and then she will hold the long-legged princess.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong turned around to ask for the coir raincoat, put it on neatly to cover his head and face, and then followed Baochan to the street.

Originally thought that the meeting place would be in the private rooms of teahouses or restaurants, but who would have thought that following Baochan out of the small half street, it was a flower shop that greeted his eyes.

It's the middle of winter, what can a flower shop sell?

There are hundreds of burning red flowers and only five bundles of plain flowers, but they are nothing more than plum blossoms of various colors in detail.

But the bunches of plum blossoms hanging high in the bamboo baskets under the eaves, facing the heavy snow all over the sky, flaunt their beauty and freshness, but they are enough to rival the blooming flowers in spring, and even surpass them in terms of artistic conception alone. .

Even a rough man like Sun Shaozong couldn't help but stop and take a closer look.

"Master is here."

At this moment, Xia Jingui's charming and alluring voice reached Sun Shaozong's ears.

Looking at the reputation, I saw her stepping out of the flower shop like a willow in the wind. There was no hairpin on her head, she only used a wintersweet to hold her hair full of black hair, and a few strands of broken hair were tucked between her eyebrows and eyes. Her steps swayed uncontrollably, and her beautiful eyes became more and more hazy, charming and affectionate.

A goose-yellow skirt jacket, loose where it should be tight, and where it should be tight, is obviously wrapped in several layers of clothes, but it outlines a mountainous and steep appearance.

The pair of charcoal-red boots under his feet, standing in the white snow, are as dazzling as two hot peppers.

Although he should have seen it through, seeing Xia Jingui's more delicate appearance than Hua, Sun Shaozong couldn't help feeling amazed.

Xia Jingui was obviously very satisfied with his reaction, raised his orchid fingers to cover his red lips, and said with a shy smile, "Two scholars came just now, and they also looked at my family like this, and they were finally kicked out by my family—— If the master doesn't come again, this flower girl, I really can't pretend anymore."

Since Sun Shaozong's time travels, he's the first one who took the initiative to set up a flirt with those women who have lost their way in the brothel for laughing - Sister You's initiative is basically only under the bed.

If it was another time, Sun Shaozong would go in and lock the door behind him if he couldn't say it.

It's a pity that now he is still busy investigating the case, but he really has no time to hang out with Xia Jingui.

So facing those watery eyes, he could only force himself to restrain his distracting thoughts, approached and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the lady is only a temporary guest, otherwise, wouldn't all the flower shops in the capital lose their money?"

After a pause, he said again: "Eunuch Li has already let go, saying that if he is here for a day, the benefits of your Xia family will be indispensable."

Hearing the latter sentence, Xia Jingui was overjoyed immediately, and he didn't care about being in front of the door, he was tired of bumping into Sun Shaozong's arms at the touch of his toes.

"Wait a minute, lady."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped her, turned around and looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said: "I am currently investigating a big case, it is really inconvenient to stay here for a long time, if the lady has something to say, please tell me quickly." Come."

Xia Jingui was full of passion, and was about to have a good time, but he never thought that he would be poured cold water over his head, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and was about to say something sarcastic.

But when the words came to her lips, she hurriedly pressed them back, and put on a resentful expression: "The master is doing great things, so naturally I dare not delay—Baochan, you are watching outside."

With that said, he led Sun Shaozong into the flower shop, and sat down on the Arhat bed that had been prepared earlier.

Sure enough, Xia Jingui wanted to ask about Wei Ruolan on behalf of her cousin Wei Ying, but there were some repetitions.

But other than that, the two women were also very curious, how could the police from Beizhen Fusi arrest the long history of King Zhongshun.

"Could it be that King Zhongshun fell out of favor?"

Xia Jingui flashed her big eyes with a look of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong became stunned instead, his eyes fixed on her face, but he didn't see the facial features in his eyes at all.

"Master, you are..."

"Yes!"

Sun Shaozong jumped up, and blurted out: "It's the child, it's that child! No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. It turns out that the problem lies in this!"

Chapter 727

No wonder I always feel that something is wrong!

Hearing Xia Jingui mention Beizhen Fusi, Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered an old incident: When the White Lotus Sect rebel bandits were wiped out, many of the White Lotus Sect spies were arrested in the capital, but Aunt Li's most valued trump card spy 'Bing San' was never caught. surfaced.

At that time, the only information Beizhen Fusi had was that Bing San was an official of the imperial court and had some real power in the capital—and his wife was pregnant at the time.

Today, when Sun Shaozong came out of Su's house, he happened to bump into Su Xingfang's wife and child. Although he didn't look carefully at that time, the child should be between one and two years old.

A Beijing official with real power in his hands.

The wife became pregnant two years ago.

An old lady who is full of resentment towards court officials, and is a "dog official" in front of her son.

Putting these three conditions together, it would be an exaggeration to say that there is solid evidence—but if you look closely, it is enough to make people suspicious!

Moreover, if the identity and background of the White Lotus Sect were embedded in the current case, Sun Shaozong's motives for committing the crime, which had been puzzling to him, seemed to be possible to explain.

First of all, the reason why Su Xingfang took the initiative to kill people was probably not out of righteous indignation, but because the owner of the 'black post' threatened to reveal his identity, so he had no choice but to do so.

Only such a crime of copying and beheading all over the family will force a promising official to take risks and try his own methods.

As for the follow-up plan to kill her own uncle...

Combined with the behavior of the old lady's resentment towards the court, Su Xingfang's uncle is most likely also a spy of the White Lotus Sect.

And if Su Xingfang wanted to get rid of Daoyan's master and apprentice, it was only natural that he should rely on his courage.

However, after killing Daoyan's master and apprentice, the nephew and uncle had a dispute.

As for the reason for this dispute?

It is probably that Cao catcher wanted to take advantage of the sins committed by Daoyan's master and apprentice, and make something out of it-the emperor used the hearts and livers of boys and girls to refine the elixir for promoting fertility. information!

If this news can be spread, it will more or less affect the prestige of the imperial court, and it will also be of considerable benefit to the White Lotus Sect's great cause of rebellion.

But Su Xingfang may not be willing to take risks.

Now, Aunt Li, who had been in contact with him through a single line, had died in prison. As long as he didn't take the initiative to contact the White Lotus Sect, he could sit back and relax as an official of the court.

How could the 29-year-old Liupin Wanping Zhixian, who was a two-ranked Jinshi, be comparable to the status of a spy of the White Lotus Sect?

What's more, he didn't have a son until he was 28 years old. Now that his wife and children are hot on the bed, how can he risk the whole family's head for some unknown news?

With these prerequisites, the subsequent plots are easy to deduce.

The left and right are just Catcher Cao, who also imitated the method of the master of the black post, using the identity of a 'spies' to blackmail Su Xingfang.

Su Xingfang couldn't be forced, so he simply set up a dead end and killed his uncle.

And he was probably also worried that his identity would implicate his wife and children sooner or later, so he was more or less thinking of dying.

It was also because of this that Sun Shaozong was unable to see the flaw in time.

After this deduction, it has basically been able to justify itself.

Sun Shaozong's morale was greatly boosted by this, he perfunctory Xia Jingui's few words, and after striding out of the flower shop, he drove straight to Beizhen Fusi.

After Beizhen Fusi got the news, he screened out dozens of Beijing officials whose wives were pregnant. According to the usual practice, they must continue to follow up and observe for a period of time.

Although it may not be able to record too many useful things, at least it will allow Sun Shaozong to better understand the Su family, and then find a suitable breakthrough!

…………

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

But Xia Jingui looked at her husband like a stone, watching Sun Shaozong's back, disappearing into the heavy snow, but when he turned around, he changed his color immediately.

Going back to the flower shop angrily, he tore off the flower branch on his head, broke it into two pieces, threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times, then turned around and asked with a gloomy face, "Baochan, what do you think?" Is it important for me, the girl, or some damn case?!"

It's not a case, it's evil spirits.

Baochan complained in his heart, but he also tensed up his little face, and followed her words: "Of course it's the girl who is important! It's Mr. Sun who doesn't understand the style, so he changed it..."

slap~

Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, Xia Jingui had a big mouth, and Ning Mei scolded: "Baby maid, Mrs. Sun is a dignified fourth-rank, and you can judge him?!"

Baochan just followed her words, how could he have thought that he would be angered instead?

Feeling wronged, but in front of Xia Jingui, he didn't dare to show it, he quickly knelt down and said in a mournful voice: "Miss, please spare this servant, I will never dare to do it next time."

"And next time?"

Xia Jingui refused to let her go, and kicked her on her back again, and then sat back on Luohan's bed.

According to common sense, Sun Shaozong was obviously on official business, and he was investigating a case involving human life. Even if he came and went in a hurry, it was not worth being so angry.

Pian Xia Jingui has always been in love with herself, she only thinks that men in the world should surround her to flatter her, only because she is tired of them, how can she allow them to leave voluntarily?

In addition, she deliberately dressed up today, in order to continue her relationship, and 'by the way' to inquire about her proud cousin's romantic affairs on the boat.

Unable to think of a few words, Sun Shaozong hurried away again, and he hardly missed it.

She sulked for a while on the Arhat bed, but finally realized that people like Sun Shaozong were by no means someone who could be rounded and flattened by herself.

Even if she has some clues, she herself is deeply involved in it, and once she takes it out, it will be destroyed.

That's all~

Left and right are just looking for him to be a reliance, and they can't become a husband and wife. At worst, they will find another man like a pug in the future, and just keep him in captivity.

After comforting herself, Xia Jingui suddenly stood up and said, "Baochan, go to the backyard and call for the carriage, let's go back... let's go to Beijing Palace!"

She originally wanted to go home directly and redress, but then she thought that she was assigned by Wei Ying today, which caused her sullen stomach.

You can't be the only one who suffers, right?

Speechless all the way.

When she arrived at the backyard of Prince Beijing's mansion, she dismissed the slaves and servants in a presumptuous manner, but stepped forward, grabbed Princess Beijing's wrist, and said straightly: "Sister, disaster has happened!"

Wei Ying thought it was Sun Shaozong who was repeating himself, and at the moment she was ashamed and hated, and said through gritted teeth: "The one whose surname is Sun really can't be trusted! I... I'm going to try my best not to name it, but..."

"Where did my sister go!"

But Xia Jingui rushed to say again: "He doesn't necessarily want to regret it, it's just that he knew what it was like on the boat that day, and he insisted on going with his sister to accompany him again, so he would not give up."

"He... how dare he be so shameless!"

Recalling the scene of that day, Princess Beijing's face turned red and blue, she gritted her silver teeth, and pierced her palm with a few fingers.

After a while, she said resolutely: "Tell him, if he dares to persecute again, I will fight him..."

"Sister, don't worry."

Xia Jingui heard that the words were not in the right place, so she hurriedly interrupted her again, pretending not to understand, and urged in a series of voices: "Today, let's deal with the prince first, so as not to accidentally become pregnant, and we can't hide it later. "

pregnant?

Hearing these two words, Princess Beijing's anger dissipated immediately, and she subconsciously fondled her lower abdomen, all she felt was fear and regret.

Xia Jingui said again, "My sister has put so much effort into it, and she will see results—don't worry, I'll go with you to find him this time, and I'll make him come up with a serious charter no matter what."

Princess Beijing wanted to refute after hearing the words, but she really hoped that Sun Shaozong would come up with a specific plan to save her younger brother, so she pursed her lips tightly, and finally said nothing more.

Worth mentioning~

After Lang Geer escapes, he will make a complete break with that surnamed Sun...
