Detective in the Red Chamber

But right now after Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he saw Han Anbang staring at him with gloomy eyes and a downcast face.

Sun Shaozong, who just looked at him, felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't take the initiative to ask the reason - otherwise, if Han Anbang went down the donkey along the slope and explained some embarrassing errands, wouldn't it mean that he was caught blind?

After such an awkward silence for a while, Han Anbang finally said quietly, "When did Liu Zhizhong get involved with the Rongguo Mansion?"

what!

How did Liu Chongshan, a [-]-year-old boy, be exposed?

Could it be because of this that Han Fu Yin was beaten into such a state?

Then his mental capacity is too fragile, right?

He complained in his heart, but Sun Shaozong's face was full of doubts, "What does your lord mean, why can't I understand?"

"Ha ha……"

Han Anbang smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Since Mr. Sun doesn't want to tell the truth, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands again, "Let me congratulate Mr. Sun on his promotion to Zhizhong in advance."

Today, Mr. Fu Yin's speech is really nonsense,

"The adults are joking."

Not sure what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to casually say, "I have been in the position of general judge, and it has only been more than half a year. Even if Mr. Liu is promoted, I am afraid that it will not be my turn to succeed."

Han Anbang shook his head again and said, "This is because you think wrongly. Although you are now emphasizing civility over martial arts, but your transfer from the sixth-rank captain to the sixth-rank general judge is still considered an average transfer in terms of the imperial court system. The length of service should be from Guangde eight Counting from the spring of the year."

And this good thing?

If this is the case, I count myself as having been in the job for two and a half years. Although it is still a little short of the three-year term, but with a lot of credit, it is not too eye-catching to even be promoted to two levels... …

Thinking in this way, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel a little eager in his heart. After living in Xiaokua courtyard for more than half a year, he was already thinking about Liu Chongshan's five main rooms!

What's more, only when you become a hall official, you will be eligible to fight against Jia Yucun in the future!

So he couldn't help but asked, "Listening to your lord, is Liu Zhizhong going to be promoted?"

Han Anbang stared at him for a long time, and then sighed, "It seems that you really don't know about this—forget it, you go down first."

rely on ~

This special woman just whetted the appetite of others, but suddenly issued an order to evict the guest!

Sun Shaozong slandered in his heart, but his movements were not slow at all, he got up and cupped his hands and said, "That humble job will resign."

Saying that, he walked out without hesitation.

As the old saying goes, rushing forward is not a business!

If Han Anbang really got into trouble with a few words, would he have to lead him by the nose in the future?

Besides, Han Anbang's changes were so obvious, it's impossible that no one in the government office noticed it, and it's not hard to find out what happened during these days if he went back and inquired carefully.

"Master Sun!"

As soon as he left Han Anbang's yard, he heard someone greet him crisply.

Sun Shaozong turned his head to look, but it was Chen Zhichuang, who was in charge of the documents in the mansion.

When he first took office, the man surnamed Chen felt sorry for him.

But right now Chen Zhichuang is smiling like a chrysanthemum, leaning forward like a pug, slanting his shoulders flatteringly and saying, "When did your lord come out of the Gongyuan? I heard from scholars yesterday that this year's autumn is more orderly than in previous years." A lot, my lord, your tour envoy is full of compliments!"

"Chen has experienced reputation."

Sun Shaozong said indifferently, "This is due to the good leadership of Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. I just follow orders, so what should I praise?"

"You deserve it, you deserve it, my lord!"

In the past, if Sun Shaozong put on a face, he would probably retreat in embarrassment, but this time his enthusiasm has not diminished in the slightest, and he is flattering without a word.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong could see that he probably got some inside information, knowing that he was about to be promoted to Zhizhong, that's why he became so enthusiastic.

Of course, serving as the tour envoy of Qiuwei is also a big plus point - with this layer of origin, Sun Shaozong, an outlier in the civil service system, is not as eye-catching as it was at first.

In front of Han Anbang's gate, it's not easy to ask in detail.

So Sun Shaozong said a few perfunctory words indiscriminately, and after turning his face back to the Criminal Division, he immediately sent Zhou Da out to find Chen Zhichuang for news.

Then Chen Zhichuang really knew the inside story!

But it turned out that during the days when Sun Shaozong was patrolling the Qiuwei, the whole Shuntian Mansion was too busy to touch the ground for the victims outside the city.

Later, the emperor allocated a large sum of money for disaster relief, and the disaster situation was eased. Han Anbang and others were relieved.

This slack will inevitably lead to crooked thoughts.

It happened that Jia Yucun and Sun Shaozong were not there, and there was only one newcomer in the Jia family, Fu Shi, so Han Anbang thought about trying to make an example of the monkey, first pinching the weakness of Fu Shi, so as to take the opportunity to win back the city.

And such a major event, but how can we not call our ally 'Liu Zhizhong' to participate in the details?

However, how did Han Anbang know that Liu Chongshan had actually taken refuge in Jia Yucun secretly!

On the surface, he helped to make suggestions, but when Han Anbang arranged his hands and feet, he immediately published a secret book, impeaching Han Anbang for framing his colleagues.

Then Han Anbang was caught by the censor and got his personal stolen goods!

Although the imperial court’s disposition has not yet come down, Han Anbang’s chances of securing his position as the prefect of the government are unlikely—of course, Jia Yucun has not been in office for a long time, and he is not like Sun Shaozong who has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Succession may not be so easy.

As for Liu Zhizhong, because of his meritorious service in the prosecution and the fact that he gained a lot of advantage from Sun Shaozong, he has already been included in the release list, and he will go to other provinces to be the fourth rank of Xuan Fu envoy at the end of the year at the latest.

As for the position he left behind, except for Sun Shaozong, the famous "Shen Duan", I am afraid that no one will be able to secure it.

Chapter 122

In Liu'er Hutong in Xicheng, two brothers fought each other for four taels of silver, and accidentally killed Quanhe's old father-the elder brother was sentenced to hang and the younger brother was exiled to Guangxi.

On Guozijian Street, there were unreasonable people who let their dogs hurt people, and they refused to repent afterwards. They refused to kill the vicious dogs. At the request of Guozijian scholars, they were detained in the kennel for three months.

In Rouge Hutong, a shrew set fire to a brothel, causing more than a dozen men and women to run naked in the street, and causing three people to be seriously injured—the woman was sentenced to serve as a Jiaofang secretary, and her husband was sentenced to compensate for all losses.

Lema Xiejie...

tsk~

Liu Zhizhong's latest verdict is free enough.

When a dog bites someone, the owner is locked in a dog cage and let him eat and sleep with the dog for three months; when a woman from a good family burns a brothel, she is sent to be a prostitute...

It seems that the person hasn't left yet, but his heart has flown to other places first!

The cinnabar pen that Sun Shaozong mentioned silently wrote a big word "refutation" on the verdict of the case of "shrew burning the brothel".

Then it was stated on the top that the woman is as fierce as fire, and such a sentence may cause her to commit suicide; in order to avoid arousing objections, please change the sentence as appropriate.

The victim may feel relieved when he hears this kind of judgment, and others will pass it on as an interesting story when they know it.

But since that woman dared to set fire to the building, she must be a hot-tempered master who wanted to save face, and if she was sentenced to serve as the secretary of the Jiaofang, wouldn't she be forced to seek death?

If she really finds a rope to kill herself, the public opinion will probably be one-sided, blaming Shuntian Mansion for forcing the chaste martyr to death.

It's all right to be scolded a few times, if it affects Liu Zhizhong's errands, how can Sun Shaozong succeed to the position of Zhizhong?

After all, Liu Zhizhong still lacked some composure in doing things for others.

Sun Shaozong slandered "regardless of age", put the dismissed case aside alone, and was about to continue reviewing other files, when Cheng Rixing knocked on the door outside and said, "Dong Weng, it's time to order lunch." .”

"come in."

Sun Shaozong threw away the case in his hand, and saw that the door was divided to the left and right, and a small official was holding a tray, approaching him with a smile on his face, and said in his mouth, "My lord, today's main dish is too oily, if you don't like it For the small ones, let people do a few more by themselves.”

There are more than a dozen bamboo slices in the tray, with the names of the dishes written in block letters on them for people to choose.

Of course, not everyone has the right to order food, and there are only three hall officials and three judges in Shuntian Mansion who are qualified.

"Do not bother."

Sun Shaozong rummaged through the tray, seeing that they were all common dishes and nothing new, so he randomly chose six dishes and one soup according to his and Cheng Rixing's tastes.

Then rolled the seven pieces of bamboo with red silk, and said, "That's all - if you have any seasonal fruits, you might as well send me a plate after dinner."

The little official went obediently.

Sun Shaozong didn't bother to deal with any official duties anymore, he played a few random sets of fists and kicks in the yard, stretched his muscles and bones, and then got a flood of flattery as usual.

For this, Sun Shaozong had already realized the strangeness, and went back to the main room without looking sideways, took the towel from Cheng Rixing, wiped it casually, and prepared to go to the inner room to wait.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a fat figure squeezed in from the door, and said with a happy smile, "My lord, the errand you ordered has been completed!"

The person who came was none other than the governor Lin Delu.

Remembering that he had asked him to help find Xiangling's family members, Sun Shaozong threw away the towel and blurted out, "Why, have you found my concubine's family members?"

"I found it, I found it!"

Lin Delu took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, and said, "My aunt's surname is Zhen, and her double character is Yinglian. Her ancestral home is from Suzhou. In a short time, I was taken away by gangsters..."

Sun Shaozong only heard him say the beginning, then lowered his head to read the information transcribed on the letter, and saw that the above conditions were extremely detailed, so he knew there would be no mistakes.

So he put the letter in his pocket, and said with satisfaction, "You did a good job with this job, I..."

Just as he was talking, he saw two Zatou soldiers bringing food over, so Sun Shaozong pointed at him and said, "I will reward you with this soup."

Lin Delu didn't feel shivering, bowed and said, "Thank you for the soup, my lord!"

As she said that, she stepped forward to hold it in her hand, but was grinned by Tang, and hurriedly changed her sleeves to cover it, and then happily carried the soup out of the room.

After going out, he was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went back and forth between the East Wing and the West Wing, telling everyone that the Lord Tongjuan gave him hot soup, and praised him for his recent self-denial.

This is to let others know that he has changed from a 'cold kang' to a 'hot stove'.

Not to mention how Lin Delu flaunted it around with a pot of hot soup in his hand.

However, after this episode, Sun Shaozong thought of a personal matter again, so he took advantage of lunch and asked Cheng Rixing to listen to him, "Mr. Cheng, among the batch of 'literature dealers' we caught at the beginning, there is a man named Drunk King Kong." Ni Er's?"

When Cheng Rixing heard him ask about Ni Er, he immediately said, "Is that guy really a relative of your lord?"

But it turned out that after Ni Er was arrested, he kept yelling about the flood of the Dragon King Temple, and said that he was a relative of Sun Shaozong.

Seeing the rascal's appearance of this guy, Zhao Wuwei only half-believed in his heart, but he still didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he hurriedly went to Cheng Rixing to ask for instructions.

After Cheng Rixing heard what had happened, he asked him to take care of Ni Er first.

In this way, if Sun Shaozong brought it up in the future, there would be no fault; if Sun Shaozong never mentioned it, he would punish this rogue who pretended to be a relative.

"Now he is still in prison, but fortunately he has not suffered any crime."

Cheng Rixing suggested, "If it's really a relative of your lord, it's better to let Zhao Wuwei let him go quietly—anyway, this case is regarded as an errand for the patrol envoy, and the file list and so on have not been handed over to the mansion."

"It's not considered a serious relative, and besides, it's too cheap to let him out like this?" Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said, "Give him a title of meritorious service in the prosecution, so that he can be exempted from being sent to the army. That's all for me. Hit it with your heart, so that he can have a long memory!"

Cheng Rixing agreed, but he planned in his heart to make Zhao Wuwei pay close attention to it, and never offend your lord's relatives.

The two were eating and chatting, but suddenly they heard a commotion outside, exclamations and noises one after another.

What's wrong with this?

Anyway, it is also the place where the criminal name of a government is in charge, but it looks like a vegetable market!

Sun Shaozong led Cheng Rixing out to have a look, but he saw everyone pointing and looking up to the sky.

He also looked up curiously, only to see a round ball floating in the air, and a big rattan basket hanging from the bottom...

There are already hot air balloons these days? !

Chapter 123 Auspicious Rising and Falling on Wuhuang Mountain, Former Idiot Scholar in Refugee Camp

"Back back, back up for me!"

"I'm talking about you, I'm talking about you! If you want to kneel, Mother Yete, kneel farther away!"

Wuhuang Mountain in the south of the city.

Although the name of this mountain is famous, it is actually just a steep and barren slope, and because of the lack of water and few forests nearby, few people pay attention to it.

But today is an exception. Not only are the people in Sijiu City empty, but even many refugees from outside the city come to join in the fun. This small barren mountain is really surrounded and impenetrable.

What caused such a strange scene was naturally the birth of the first hot air balloon of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and...the sudden crash!

Of course, this is just what Sun Shaozong thought in his heart.

The official unified caliber on this matter is auspiciousness from heaven, congratulations to my emperor for ten years of enthronement—otherwise, why didn’t this auspiciousness go there, but why did it land on Wuhuang Mountain?
