Detective in the Red Chamber

Now that the North Korean mission is about to leave Beijing, the thief must make some moves.

but……

Hu Tai raised his head and glanced at Sun Shaozong, then pretended to drink tea with his head down, hesitant to speak.

He thought he was doing it covertly, but how could he escape Sun Shaozong's eyes?

With only a second thought, Sun Shaozong vaguely guessed something, so he tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and said seriously: "Hu Changshi, now that you and I depend on each other internally and externally, it is most taboo to hide something."

Hu Tai knew that he had missed the mark, so he avoided Sun Shaozong's scrutiny in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "The prince was really impatient yesterday, and he was afraid that the thing had been taken away by the thieves, so he ordered someone to search the outside overnight. kitchen."

"Now the night pearl hidden in the water has been replaced with an offering pearl of the same size."

Speaking of this, he hastily added: "The ancestral beads were selected by the prince himself, as long as it is not at night, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake!"

No wonder there seemed to be a bit of guilt and shortness of breath mixed in his aggressiveness just now, but it turned out that he was just putting on a show, so as to block his mouth in advance and pave the way for this incident.

Hey~

Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly, but it wasn't that he didn't understand King Zhongxin's actions. After all, it had been more than two days, and the thief still didn't take any action, so it was human nature to have other thoughts.

Besides, what if he doesn't understand?

Do you still have to go to the palace and ask King Zhongxin face to face?

"That being the case, there is no need to rush."

Sun Shaozong could only spread his hands and said, "I hope that thief is just trying to be safe, not really discovering anything."

Hu Tai felt that he had a responsibility to entrust him, and Sun Shaozong took the initiative to expose it just now, so he felt embarrassed, so he explained a few more words, and said that the palace was busy with business, so he left in a hurry.

After he left, Sun Shaozong did not leave in a hurry, but picked up the memorial again and read it line by line over and over again.

Naturally, this is not because there are some shocking truths written in the memorandum that people can't help chewing over and over again.

In fact, to Sun Shaozong, no matter how gorgeous the text on it is, it still smells bad to read-because this is the memorial to impeach Sun Yun, the imperial censor, for his corpse.

If not according to the rules, if Sun Shaozong had to write a letter to defend himself, the devil would be willing to look at this crap.

It took a long time for Sun Shaozong to pull his attention away from the flashy rhetoric, toss the impeachment memorial casually, and lowered his head to take a few sips of tea.

This Sun Yun was worthy of being the deputy chief examiner of Qiu Wei. Although most of his words were empty, he used ambiguous words at key points, which made it difficult to refute, and even brought out many unfinished meanings.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is a Beijing official, and the emperor can hear all about his usual actions.

If it was replaced by a foreign magistrate, after reading this memorial, he would have preconceived ideas to some extent.

It seems that this self-defense has to be carefully thought out - if it doesn't work, I can only find my niece and son-in-law Yu Qian to be the shooter.

Speaking of Yu Qian, the memorial of "Puting the Law to the Countryside" should be almost polished now, right?

At that time, I might as well submit it together with the self-defense note, and see who dares to talk about the vegetarian meal.

Having made up his mind, Sun Shaozong put the copy of the impeachment memorial back into his bag, and then took out another copy.

This is a copy of the credentials presented by the North Korean mission, with some information that Sun Shaozong entrusted to investigate in private.

Originally, Sun Shaozong brought him with him because he wanted to share it with Hu Tai, pointing out that this matter was of great importance, so as to prevent the whole palace from being too impatient.

But Hu Changshi came and went in a hurry, and the King Zhongxin had already killed him before playing, so Sun Shaozong simply skipped this matter and didn't mention it.

But when he said that he spread the manuscript on the table, Sun Shaozong directly turned it to the end, scraping his fingers line by line, and muttering to himself: "Deputy envoy, deputy envoy... I have never invited a doctor... the guards are strict..."

Following that murmur, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Because Li Enxian had been playing with Sun Shaozu's ideas when he was watching the theater that day, and then the Korean Pearl was stolen. Sun Shaozong naturally paid more attention to the North Korean mission than others.

As a result, this focus really paid attention to what happened.

After visiting the capital with Sun Shaozong that day, Li Enxian, the North Korean envoy, seemed to be suffering from an emergency.

It was nothing.

It is not uncommon to be unaccustomed to the environment, not to mention that this is a foreigner who came from afar.

But the problem is that the North Korean deputy envoy never mentioned the matter of Liaodong from the beginning to the end.

This is very different from Li Enxian's urgency at the beginning.

Wouldn't it be just because the envoy was sick that such important military and national affairs would just go away?

Even if the king of North Korea entrusted this matter to Li Eunxian alone, there should be nothing to keep it secret by now.

unless……

Lee Eun Hyun is already sick and unconscious!

But if this is the case, why don't all the famous doctors in the capital see them invite half of them?

On the contrary, the security in the post house is much stricter...

Tricky!

I'm afraid there is a big trick in it!

Knocking on the music book, Sun Shaozong picked up the teapot and refilled another cup, but he couldn't help looking out the window - it's already past the agreed time, so why is Eunuch Li still missing?

In addition to meeting Hu Tai today, he also made an appointment with Li Shuncheng, the chief procurement officer of the Ouchi, in order to pass on the abnormalities of the North Korean mission through the channel of the internal supervision, so as to avoid delays or leaks.

Secondly, it is to protect a big media!

Chapter 822

[[-] words, [-] short of the target...]

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shuncheng got out of the carriage and put on the shoulders carried by the two of them. He clasped his hands and shrugged his shoulders, but he was full of urging.

Seeing the gate of Toudao Palace, a fat eunuch suddenly appeared from the sidelines, with short short legs, he followed Jianyu tightly, and while sending a hand stove to Li Shuncheng's arms, he yelled at Jianyu in a tone of voice. The little eunuch:

"You two are stupid! In such a snowstorm, why don't you know how to put on the coir raincoat for your godfather first?!"

Although several senior eunuchs with official duties also obtained the special permission to ride on the shoulder car in the inner court, unlike the emperor and concubines, the shoulder car was not allowed to have umbrellas to cover their heads.

Usually it's fine, but when it's snowing and windy, if you sit on it without a coir raincoat to keep out the cold, it's almost like being tortured.

The two young ladies listened to him and scolded them, but they didn't dare to distinguish anything, but Li Shuncheng waved his hand: "It's none of their business, I have something urgent to report to Lord Long Live."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and asked softly, "Is Lord Long Live in Jingren Palace?"

It was unavoidable for the eunuchs to inquire about the emperor's behavior, but because of the rules, they did not dare to ask in a big way, so they could only act obscenely like this.

"here I am."

After following these few steps, the fat eunuch was a little out of breath, but he didn't dare to take half a step behind, so he had to change his fast step to a trot, and while he was trampling the snow, he forced himself to laugh and said, "Today! After the court was over, Lord Long Live went to the Imperial Study Room of Jingren Palace, and he should be summoning Lord Shangshu Wang of the Household Department right now."

Summon Wang Yan?

It is estimated that it is for entering the cabinet again.

It seems a little inappropriate to go in and disturb at this time.

But the news I heard from Sun Shaozong just now, it will not work if I don't report it in time.

Li Shuncheng hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "Look at your fat body! Forget it, you two walk slowly, let senior brother slow down."

The footsteps of the two young eunuchs suddenly slowed down.

The fat eunuch was so moved that he burst into tears, took a few steps, turned around and fell to his knees by the side of the road, shouting repeatedly: "Thank you godfather for caring about your son, thank you godfather for caring about your son!"

When Jianyu passed by, he hurriedly got up from the ground again, slanted his shoulders and obsequiously followed, waiting for Li Shuncheng's further instructions.

But how could Li Shuncheng care about him at this time?

Putting the hand stove into his arms, he pulled up his robe twice, and his thoughts flew back to the teahouse.

When he received Sun Shaozong's invitation back then, Li Shuncheng still acted as the young gentleman who had just been impeached, so he asked him to help him with something.

So he deliberately took Joe and arrived two quarters of an hour later than the agreed time.

But when they got to the teahouse, they found out that Sun Shaozong had important military and national affairs, and he was entrusted to play the role of the emperor.

If this matter is true, and Sun Shaozong may have to remember a great merit, then his previous contempt would seem a bit inappropriate.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong didn't mean to care about it, instead he handed over a ready-made olive branch.

Speaking of...

I guessed right at the beginning, the young lady of the Xia family really had something to do with Sun Shaozong.

If not, Sun Shaozong would not be in a hurry, and would have to protect the matchmaker for himself and the little lady of the Xia family.

If this kind of behavior of dumping the pot is to be placed on others, then [-]% of them don't even have to do it with friends.

But for Li Shuncheng, it is a symbol of the further relationship between the two parties - the left and right he does not have that function, the original packaging is still opened, there is not much difference.

Although he really liked Nun Miaoyu from the Rongguo Mansion, but in the current situation, if he thought about the people of the Rongguo Mansion, he would be impatient.

The next best thing is to marry a young lady from the Xia family and take advantage of Sun Shaozong's shortcomings, which is also a choice.

In fact, to put it aside in the past, Li Shuncheng may not be willing to be a taker.

But now, because of the dispute over the imperial lineage, the emperor and the empress are at odds, and the situation in the palace is really complicated and tense. Li Shuncheng, who has just ascended to the throne and has a weak foundation, will inevitably feel uneasy.

So naturally, he hoped that he could borrow external force and leave a way out for himself by the way.

It would be even better if you could buy one get one free.

In that case, if I really want to have a horse with high stirrups and short stirrups, for the sake of father and son's flesh and blood, Sun Shaozong can't stand idly by.

"Is Eunuch Li in front?"

Just thinking about how to remind Sun Shaozong tactfully, don't forget to buy one get one free, and come with a small one, when he suddenly heard someone calling in front of him.

Li Shuncheng raised his head subconsciously, only to realize that Jianyu had already entered the side door of Jingren Palace.

He was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly scolded: "Aren't you guys crazy? Don't let me down!"

The two young ladies had already slowed down when they heard the call, but now they listened to his scolding, they hurriedly put their shoulders on the ground, and fell to their knees.

The fat eunuch immediately approached with a smile, wanting to help Li Shuncheng.

But Li Shuncheng drove him away with a flick of his sleeve, and scolded angrily: "These two dogs are confused, why don't you remind them - in Jingren Palace, there are us eunuchs sitting on the shoulders." Son?"

The fat eunuch proclaimed the crime obsequiously, but couldn't help reminding him in a low voice: "Godfather, Concubine Rong..."

"Hey, who made Eunuch Li angry?"

Before the fat eunuch could finish speaking, a sweet and charming voice entered everyone's ears again.

Hearing that the voice had come behind him, Li Shuncheng twitched the corner of his mouth, but when he turned around, his face was full of smiles: "I have seen Concubine Rong."

Concubine Rong turned her body to one side, half avoiding his salute, her eyes fell on the snow on his shoulders and head, and she complained without a word: "I didn't say that, the people below really don't know how to serve, even a coir raincoat I don't know how to prepare."

As he spoke, he moved lightly with his lotus steps, and stretched out his white and delicate hands, just to brush off the snow on Li Shuncheng's shoulders.

However, Li Shuncheng also turned sideways, avoiding Concubine Rong's initiative to show favor, and said indifferently: "I don't dare to bother my lady."

At this time, the fat eunuch also hurried forward to help Li Shuncheng sweep the snow off his body.

Li Shuncheng took advantage of the situation and cupped his hands again: "I still have something important to do, so I am in a hurry to report it to His Majesty, so I won't disturb your Majesty's pleasure of enjoying the snow."

Saying that, he bowed and took two steps back, and went straight to the newly renovated Imperial Study Room last year.

Seeing that the expression on Concubine Rong's face was a bit stiff, the two little eunuchs who raised their shoulders, and the fat eunuch also hurriedly confessed, and then did a bird and beast scatter.

"damn it!"

Seeing that there were only herself and the two close-fitting maids left, Concubine Rong couldn't help but stomp her feet fiercely, and cursed tremblingly: "You ungrateful dog slave! If I hadn't praised you in front of the emperor, you would have Today's scenery?!"

In the Jingren Palace back then, Concubine Rong was a first-class good friend, and Li Shuncheng, as the emperor of Jingren Palace, was naturally one of her main targets.

Remember how obedient Li Shuncheng was in front of her back then?

But now...

"When I get pregnant with a dragon heir, let's see what kind of face you, a dog slave, will have!"

Concubine Rong cursed angrily, but her heart was full of depression.

A few days ago, relying on some sexy obscenities, she had won favor twice.

But that's just two times.

Since then, Emperor Guangde has not visited her small courtyard for more than ten days.
