Detective in the Red Chamber

Every step he took, his body was rippling visible to the naked eye, and even the thick sable fur couldn't hide the ups and downs.

The movement was not big, but it was just right to provocate people's heart, and people couldn't help but secretly have the meaning of 'exploring'.

When he was young, he was actually in the same way as that Liudu man, but after he gave birth to a son, he deliberately suppressed the viciousness all over his body.

But it's hard to paint the skin of a tiger, and the appearance of these few steps has exposed the dignity she deliberately put on just now.

But Concubine Wu saw that she had reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said solemnly: "My lords, I have something to say here, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

She said that she didn't know whether to say it properly, but before the three of them responded, she raised her voice again: "If I waited for this matter, I should have done it three years ago when the North Korean envoy came. Why wait until now?"

Just now she was beating around the bush and always going around that Liu Du man, and Sun Shaozong knew that this man wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

He just made a few indirect remarks, seeing that she just blindly hinted that this case must be committed by people from Liu Du, but he couldn't explain why, so he didn't answer the question again.

She never thought about it, but she still didn't forget to slander the people of Liudu—the people of Liudu were welcomed into the mansion by King Zhongxin two and a half years ago, and naturally they had no chance to attack him three years ago.

Sun Shaozong glanced at Hu Tai from the corner of his eye, and saw that this playboy bowed slightly, looking at his nose and heart, just like an old monk in meditation, but there was a bit of bitterness between his brows.

It seems that this man is also helplessly nervous about the Gongdou drama in front of him.

Sun Shaozong felt hesitant, cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you for reminding me, the next official will definitely keep it in mind."

Seeing his sincerity, Concubine Wu nodded in satisfaction, then she tiptoed gracefully away.

When her figure completely disappeared outside the door, Sun Shaozong chuckled, first took half-warm tea for himself, and moistened his parched throat.

At this time, the skinny steward came in, and said with a bitter face: "Masters, do you want to continue asking questions now? Liu Du seems... a bit impatient."

Sure enough, there was still trouble.

Seeing her still not pretending to speak in front of Princess Niu before, Sun Shaozong knew that she was probably going to make a fuss.

But this is better, the more emotional she is, the easier it is to pull out some dry goods.

At that moment, Sun Shaozong was about to order the skinny steward to bring the people from Liudu over for questioning.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, there were footsteps coming from outside, but Huang Bin, who had left with the last hound, came back in a hurry.

"grown ups."

After he entered the door, he bowed his hand, but he didn't rush to report, obviously he was wary of Hu Tai and Shou Guanshi.

Seeing this, the thin steward hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Hu Tai also stayed away temporarily.

However, how can the big and small things that happened in Prince Zhongxin's mansion be hidden from his long history?

Anyway, sooner or later he would know, so Sun Shaozong simply sold out his personal affection: "Hu Changshi is loyal to the prince, and he can report what he wants, and there is no need to avoid anything."

Only now did Huang Bin open his mouth to report: "There were five hounds just now, two of which were lost along the way, and the remaining three stopped near the kitchen outside the palace."

After a pause, he continued: "Bizhi took the base of the night pearl and let the three hounds circle around the outer kitchen, but there seemed to be no other traces to be found."

"In addition, I also asked the steward of the kitchen. Since the stove was turned on before dawn, no outsiders have entered or left the kitchen, and all kinds of people in the kitchen have never stepped out of the palace."

Through the dial that was removed before, it has been locked that the thief stole the Ye Mingzhu at the second quarter of the ugly hour [1:[-] in the morning].

If the thieves can leave the palace with the dirt directly, they don't need to go to the kitchen outside.

So when he entered the outer kitchen, either he wanted to go out with his party and transfer the dirt; or he wanted to hide the Ye Mingzhu in the kitchen temporarily, and come to get it after dawn.

At that time the outside kitchen had been closed, even if there were accomplices staying there to help, it would be difficult to find a chance to take Ye Mingzhu out of the palace.

That is to say, there is a high probability that Ye Mingzhu will remain in the mansion before dawn, and there is even a certain possibility that she is still hiding in the outside kitchen.

"Hu Changshi."

After straightening out his thoughts, Sun Shaozong immediately said to Hu Taiyan: "Have you ever sorted out the list of people entering and leaving the palace since the time you were ugly?"

Just now when he discovered the time stopped on the dial, Sun Shaozong asked Hu Tai to send someone to count it.

Hearing Sun Shaozong's question at this time, Hu Tai immediately went outside the door and called the skinny steward to ask for the list.

But the list seemed to have not been drawn up yet, so it was delayed for another half a quarter of an hour before Hu Taicai walked in with an unhappy expression, and said with a wry smile: "I'm usually neglected in discipline, and raising these wine bags and rice bags makes Mr. Sun laugh."

After investigating this case, he will have nothing to do with the Zhongxin Prince's Mansion. Why would Sun Shaozong care about their efficiency?

He laughed it off immediately, and tapped the list in Hu Tai's hand with his chin.

Hu Tai immediately handed over the list, but saw that there were only three or five names written on it, followed by the time and reason for their entry and exit.

"I have asked people to find these four people, but two of them have not yet returned home, so it may take a while."

Hu Tai said, then hesitated: "Master Sun, do you think we should check the outside kitchen first, maybe..."

Sun Shaozong raised his hand, stopped his words, then stared at the names on it for a moment, pondered for a while, and said: "If the things are still hidden in the kitchen, then the thief is still in the dark and has not acted. I search the outside kitchen from time to time, I'm afraid it will scare the snake."

"That's according to the meaning of adults..."

"You might as well make a game and let him jump out by himself."

Sun Shaozong paused for a while when he said this, and then said: "But this bureau can only be set up by the palace-Sun must get out of the matter, otherwise the thief may not dare to move."

This is not bragging, the shadow of a famous tree, knowing that Sun Shaozong is in the mansion, there may be a few thieves who dare to commit crimes against the wind, but there will never be too many.

Hu Tai originally wanted to ask in detail how to set up a situation, but when he heard that Sun Shaozong was going to get out of the matter, he was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned and said: "This... Mr. Sun is recommended by the princess and appointed by the prince. Those who came to investigate the case have only been investigating for half an hour, and have not found any results. If your lord withdraws without reason, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the thief."

Sun Shaozong smiled and pointed to the outside: "It's impossible to withdraw without reason, but isn't there a ready-made reason?"

"My lord said..."

Hu Tai looked out suspiciously, but he saw a beautiful woman with a sullen face impatiently poking her head outside.

Chapter 813 The Color of the Crown

Although the line of sight couldn't penetrate the thick curtain at all, Concubine Wu couldn't help but look in the direction of the study again and again.

The pineapple-like buttocks seemed to have been bitten by something, rolling back and forth on the slump, printing eye-catching arcs one after another.

"elder sister."

After a while, she finally couldn't bear the loneliness, she turned her head and asked Niu Wangfei who was sitting quietly with her eyes closed: "You said this, did that little bitch do it?"

Niu Wangfei was as if she hadn't heard of it, and she didn't mean to respond at all.

Concubine Wu curled her lips secretly. If it had been a few years ago, she might have made some sarcasm.

But now that her favor is declining, and people from Liudu are pressing her every step of the way, even the position of the eldest son seems to be not very secure. The Niu Wangfei has become her natural ally instead. Princess Niu is the enemy.

Therefore, Concubine Wu had no choice but to endure her annoyance, and poured a cup of tea on her own.

She was lowering her head and sipping her lips, when suddenly a maid came in, and she didn't know whether she was surprised or happy and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The people from Liudu ran away in disheveled clothes just now, as if... as if they were just captured Who has been molested!"

puff~

Concubine Wu immediately sprayed her arms, and then jumped up suddenly: "Really?"

"The servant saw her with half of her shoulders exposed with her own eyes, and broke out crying!"

Concubine Wu heard the words, regardless of her wet breasts, she had already carefully glued the contours of Fenglong, rushed to the door in a few steps, and then went out to see what happened.

When she came to the door, she suddenly remembered that she was not the one who made the decision here, so she hurriedly turned her head and said to Princess Niu with a face full of hope: "Sister, did you say that little bitch was asked for something, so ..."

She was determined not to believe that she was molested and ran out crying. No matter how greedy and lustful she was, how dare she molested the prince's concubine in public?

Concubine Niu also knew that there must be something strange about it, but her mind was not on this case, so even if she had doubts, she was not as excited as Concubine Wu.

Therefore, he just opened his eyes and said calmly: "What exactly is up to the prince to decide."

…………

King Loyalty's 'judgment' was soon presented in front of everyone—as for fairness and injustice, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see wisdom.

It is said that when he learned that Sun Shaozong dared to tease his concubine in the mansion, he was furious at that time—here is doubtful, because the prince has never been seen jumping up and down in the palace since he weighed more than [-] catties—he also yelled He wanted to take down Sun Shaozong to vent his anger.

It is said that it was Chang Shi Hu Tai who persuaded him to change his mind just now, but drove the daring Sun Shaozong out of the palace together with the guards of Dali Temple.

Of course, this is just an official statement, private discussion, and there are many versions.

"Have you heard? The people in Liudu hated the concubine for losing face, and even pretended to be molested by Mrs. Sun, so that the prince can bear the grudge against the concubine!"

"But how did I hear that she took the initiative to undress and take off her belt because she saw how big Sun Dasheng was..."

"Bah, are you stupid? That Hu Changshi was outside the door at that time, how dare she dare to seduce a wild man?"

"I can't help but think that Mr. Sun is so cowardly. I have heard people say that Mr. Sun produced several illegitimate children when he suppressed the rebellion in Huguang!"

"Where, I heard that those barbarians are afraid of being killed by him, so all the barbarians who have been slept with by him claim to be pregnant with his flesh and blood..."

There were various rumors, but the fact that Sun Shaozong was kicked out of the palace by King Zhongxin because of that Liudu man was a certainty.

As for the theft of the Ye Mingzhu, it seemed that it was temporarily handed over to the guards of the palace.

And all they could do was to detain those who had gone out in the morning in the firewood room and torture them repeatedly.

…………

In an alley two streets away from Wangfu.

Sun Shaozong sat alone on the shaft of the chariot, with a look of helplessness between his brows.

His helplessness was naturally not because he was 'driven' out of the palace. In fact, this was something he had discussed with Hu Tai in order to lure the snake out of the hole.

It's just that Sun Shaozong didn't expect that the man from Liudu was so bold that he tore off half of his clothes in front of him, as if trying to tease him.

Look at that horny and vicious look, the color of the crown on Faithful King's head, I'm afraid he will have to change it sooner or later.

"grown ups."

At this time, Huang Bin sneaked into the alley quietly, bowed his head and reported: "According to your order, the villain has already deployed manpower around the palace."

"Ah."

Sun Shaozong nodded, and then instructed Tang Weishan: "Tang Sizheng, remember to send someone to Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to let them release the news, saying that the North Korean envoys are afraid of another storm at sea and are planning to leave early to return home."

Now that the stage is set, wouldn't it be a waste of work if the protagonist doesn't appear on the stage?

Besides, even if Sun Shaozong could wait, King Zhongxin might not be able to hold back his temper and continue spending time with that thief.

That's why the news was released to force the thief to act as soon as possible.

Tang Weishan respectfully responded, but his face was full of doubts: "My lord, even if that person really wanted to frame the North Korean mission, such a blatant approach would not have any effect, would it?"

This is also what Sun Shaozong couldn't figure out for the time being.

At the beginning, he handled the theft of new-style firearms, so he knew that the Goryeo Kingdom had arranged a lot of dead places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And the original case ended with Li Enxian, the North Korean envoy, who voluntarily handed over the firearm stolen from the dead.

The rest of Goryeo would hate Li Eunxian because of this, or even want to force North Korea to turn against Daeju by framing him, which is also understandable.

But based on the current situation, it's not easy to pin the case of Ye Mingzhu's theft on Li Enxian's head?

Or……

What hidden secrets are hidden in this?

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to keep these doubts in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Don't worry about these, just keep an eye on the palace right now, and when the thief is caught, the truth will naturally come to light."

As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch to check the time, and then ordered: "I still have to go to Beijing Palace for a banquet, so I will leave it to you first."

Tang Weishan and others agreed in unison, and then Sun Shaozong got into the carriage and ordered Zhang Cheng to drive straight to the Beijing Palace.

…………

at the same time.

In the flower hall in the inner courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion, snacks and tea were also prepared, and entertainments such as singing, dancing and juggling were also prepared, but as the host, Shui Rong, there was no joy on his face at this time.

This is not because he has discovered that his crown has changed color, but because of the absence of his uncle Wei Rusong.

But it turned out that Shui Rong held the banquet this time not only to build a good relationship with Sun Shaozong, but also to take the opportunity to resolve the old grudge between Sun and Wei.

Unexpectedly, Wei Rusong still didn't come to the banquet despite repeated urgings, and Wei Ruolan only gave Wei Ruolan an excuse of being unwell.

Thinking about the fact that since his influence has faded, the eldest brother has been listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and Shui Rong is even more unhappy.

Couldn't help complaining to Wei Ruolan: "Back then it was just a battle of wills, but now one is in the Shenji camp and the other is in the patrol camp, and there is no conflict of interest between the two. The Sun family will continue to fight?"

"Especially what I've seen, whether it's the crown prince ascending the throne or setting up a new crown prince, the Sun family will use it greatly..."

Wei Ruolan had already guessed that Niu's eldest son was shot and killed, and she was afraid that her eldest brother would be involved.
