Detective in the Red Chamber

There was a loud bang, and the [-]-jin epee slammed on the wall of the courtyard, causing bricks and tiles to fly and smoke and dust everywhere, and when the dust dissipated, the wall of the courtyard had collapsed by more than a foot!

In front of the ruined wall, Sun Shaozong looked at the sword with disdain, and said with a sneer: "You have no imperial edict, and you have not seen the eunuch who supervises the army, and now you are pushing this officer three times and four times, and even facing each other with swords and swords. Is this an official or a thief?!"

"If you are an official, just accept the supervision of this official from the sidelines obediently, and don't disturb the people; if you are a thief, then don't blame the official for not leaving a whole body under the sword!"

He tried with his sword horizontally, and after a while he saw his opponent trembling and whispering to each other, but none of them dared to stand up again, so he made another move forward with Frostmourne.

This time the team moved forward slowly, and the Dragon Guards looked at each other, but they couldn't muster the courage just now.

In fact, quite a few of them had vaguely guessed that this time most of them were doing a "business" of ransacking their homes and destroying their homes, but the above didn't make it clear after all, so it was inevitable that they were lucky in their hearts, so they lost their determination to kill them.

If Sun Shaozong made it clear that the chariots and horses were here to suppress the rebellion, maybe it would arouse their blood, but Sun Shaozong kept saying that they were all supervised from the sidelines.

Coupled with the prestige of 'Sun Shiwan', everyone felt that if there was a fight, they had no chance of winning, so naturally no one dared to be the first bird.

Seeing that the two sides joined together, the civil servant on the opposite side couldn't help shouting a few more times, but unfortunately it was useless.

Even when he wanted to retreat, some dragon guards blocked his way intentionally or unintentionally, forcing him to face Sun Shaozong directly.

"Ha ha!"

Surrounded by Shen Lian and others, Sun Shaozong came to the civil official, and when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that this person was actually Shi Litong, the head of Prince Zhongshun!

Normally speaking, the team sent by the palace would never be his turn to make decisions, but this kind of thing just happened.

This is almost done!

"you you"

Li Tong looked at Sun Shaozong dejectedly, and wanted to say a few tough words, but when he saw the door-like giant sword in Sun Shaozong's hand, his tongue immediately softened.

He lowered his head in a low voice, not knowing what to do next, when he suddenly heard someone clamoring twice:

"Behind and behind their ranks are the common people!"

"What kind of people, they are clearly a group of beggars!"

"There are only a few dozen who can fight!"

Li Tong raised his head in astonishment. There were about three hundred people around him, and there were nearly two hundred scattered around. If there were only a few dozen people around Sun Shaozong, it might not be impossible to resist.

In fact, if he knew that the six or seven soldiers in front were the only ones who could fight and were willing to fight, he would regret it even more.

"how?"

Sun Shaozong mentioned Frostmourne, scorned Li Tong and several generals around Li Tong, and said with a smile: "Do you want to regret it now?"

The gazes of those people all fell on Frostmourne, and then the weight of one hundred and ten catties seemed to be pressed to their shoulders along the line of sight, making them coincidentally half shorter.

Chapter 983 Falling Gradually [Part [-]]

Southeast of the outer city, Zuoanmen.

It was almost noon, and Sun Shaozong was sitting in the pergola not far from the gate, and the only people at the table with him were the city gate officials here.

The city gate official is a deputy among the gatekeepers, who is under the city gate leader and belongs to the seventh-rank military position.

At this time, not to mention the hundred households of the sixth rank, there were even three thousand households of the fifth rank standing around. Although no one would look directly at him, the city gate officials were still sitting on pins and needles.

Several times I wanted to stand up and stand up, but seeing Sun Shaoqing on the opposite side who seemed to be leisurely, but was holding on to Frostmourne tightly, his legs couldn't use any strength.

At the moment when he tried to stand up for the sixth time, a person strode out from the city gate and shouted from a long distance: "My lord, all the doors in this city are closed, but the closed rooms outside the city are still very busy." , some people have bought some wine and food outside the city, you can use some first."

He saw a huge tray with nine fingers, on which were placed three plates and two bowls, and a pot of steaming hot wine.

He scalded the chopsticks with tea and served them respectfully with both hands. After Sun Shaozong took them, he reported again: "There is no sign of hot air balloons outside the city yet, but I heard that several blood books have fallen from the sky. It’s just that it was picked up by someone, and the little one has specially arranged for people to look for it.”

Blood book?

Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard this. This is not good news. A hot air balloon must have flown out of the city. Secondly, since the message was conveyed by dropping a blood book, most of the people on the hot air balloon would not be in a hurry to land.

If he floated a hundred miles in one breath, where else would he go?

As for those so-called blood books, even if they can be found, they may not be of much use—after all, this thing is not a tiger talisman, so how can there be a perfect way to make people believe that it is not forged?

He was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He picked up three donkeys with chopsticks slowly, chewed and swallowed them, and then ordered: "Keep some old and weak women and children in the city, and throw the rest out."

The only thing you can rely on right now is .

Fortunately, there are already less than 2000 beggars who came from all over the city one after another, leaving out the most unusable old, weak, sick and disabled, there are still 500 beggars.

Coupled with the dragon guards mixed in among the beggars, it happened to be able to make up two thousand.

Hong Jiugong took the order, and originally wanted to discuss the details with Shen Lian, but he couldn't find Shen Lian after turning around. He secretly thought that the other party might have been assigned another errand, so he gritted his teeth and took it on. Search heavy duty.

Palace West Garden.

King Zhongshun rushed into the palace in a hurry, but saw the Supreme Emperor was holding a golden enamel birdcage, teasing a parrot that was only learning tongues, he couldn't help feeling anxious and angry, wishing he could step forward and grab it with his hands, and shoot it from the window with one kick go out.

But this can only be thought about in my heart.

He quickly walked closer, bowed and smiled and said, "Father, there was a little accident outside."

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor didn't react at all, he could only continue to forcefully laugh and said, "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Sun Shaozong, was so insane that he coerced the guards who were in charge of guarding him, swallowed the troops we sent out, and mobilized many beggars in the city to run around. Random search!"

Look at the Taishanghuang, still licking his tongue and teasing birds there.

King Zhongshun was really anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Father, how should we deal with this, you have to make up your mind!"

The Supreme Emperor gave him a sideways glance, and asked back: "Then how should you deal with it in your opinion?"

"Tune the Huben camp into the city to suppress the rebellion! The Sun brothers are well-connected in the Dragon Guard, Shenji Camp, and Patrol Battalion. The Huben Camp has been stationed outside the city, and since Qiu Ying was transferred, he has never had anything to do with the Sun family!"

This remark blurted out, obviously it had been considered long ago.

Hearing the words, the Supreme Emperor turned his attention back to the birdcage again, and said indifferently: "The jade seal is in your hands, since you have made a decision, just let it go, don't you want to write it for your father?" No?"

King Zhongshun was speechless, but immediately became excited again: "So you agree, father? If so, please send a seasoned and prudent eunuch to the Huben camp to deliver the decree!"

In the past, in order to prevent the Supreme Emperor from corrupting power, he specially asked Li Tong to lead a team to search outside the palace; but now when he encounters setbacks, he is counting on the Supreme Emperor's people to be the first.

Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor didn't care about anything, so he immediately selected a servant in the palace and ordered him to be sent by King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to forge an imperial decree, and the eunuch led him to the Huben camp outside the city.

The book does not go into details.

However, the eunuch rushed all the way to the Huben camp, and after reading the imperial edict to the admiral of the Huben camp, the admiral did not refuse to question him, but said that he was in a hurry, and he wanted to capture a powerful general like Sun Shiwan, no matter what Do some preparations to go out.

After finishing speaking, he said that he was going to select elite soldiers and strong generals, and asked the Xuanzhi eunuch to wait for a while in the big tent.

But the Xuanzhi eunuch waited and waited, but he didn't see Admiral Huben coming back, so he couldn't help but walk out of the big tent and ask the soldiers in front of the door what happened.

But the two soldiers didn't know what to ask, they would only advise him to stay calm and wait for the admiral to come back.

The eunuch who passed the decree became more and more anxious, and wanted to break into the camp to find someone, but the scale of the Huben camp was quite large, so I don't know how to find him here?

When he was incompetent and furious, he suddenly found that a few officers and soldiers were escorting a civil servant not far in front of him. He had walked back and forth in front of the big tent for several times, and he didn't know what he was doing.

After looking at it for a while, the eunuch Xuanzhi couldn't help asking the soldiers in the big tent beside him.

"You said that person."

But the soldier said: "It was sent by the patrol battalion, and it was said that it was Shi Litong, the chief of Zhongshun Wangfu - at that time, the officer of the patrol battalion was still talking nonsense, saying, someone is going to rebel or something, where is our commander-in-chief?" Believe it? Immediately drive them out of the tent!"

As he said, he raised his hand and pointed at those people: "Look, you are still refusing to leave!"

Chuanzhitai's complexion changed drastically when he heard this. Although he is not smart, he can still see that this is a play just for himself.

With Li Tong as the 'witness', although Admiral Huben is not yet completely swayed by Sun Shaozong, he will probably have doubts about the edict passed down from the palace.

But the admiral Huben didn't say a word just now, but agreed, and then disappeared.

Obviously, the opponent is preparing to use the dragging formula, and it will not be too late to choose to stand in line after seeing how the future will develop!

After thinking through this verse, he also understood that it was useless for him to stay here any longer, and maybe his life would be in danger if he procrastinated, so he hastily left a few words of urging, and claimed that he still had something important to do, So he whipped his horse and fled back to the city.

Chapter 984 Falling Gradually [Part [-]]

It is still in the pergola near the city gate.

Holding a silk handkerchief in his hand, Sun Shaozong looked at the bloody words that King Zhongshun intended to rebel and His Majesty was imprisoned in the Qing Palace, feeling quite helpless.

Such a simple and straightforward thing has enough impact, but how can it be convincing?

If I really brought this thing in front of the admiral of the Three Battalions and One Guard, I'm afraid that I haven't said a single word of injustice. Li Tong, who refused to admit it to death, is convincing. At least the identity of that guy Zhongshun Wangfu Chief Shi is already a proof.

However, Sun Shaozong didn't expect much at first. He had already predicted this result when he heard that there were several blood letters.

After all, blood books are unlikely to be long-winded, let alone several letters?

In the final analysis, if you want to get the initiative to rescue King Qin, you must find the person who escaped in a hot air balloon.

just

Looking up at the snow that was falling more and more, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Now not only the visibility is further reduced, but even the roads are starting to be sluggish. Under such circumstances, there are many cavalry in the dragon guard who want to catch up with the hot air balloon flying in the air with two legs, but how can Sun Shaozong trust them? It's just an idiot's dream.

at the same time.

The eunuch who went to the Huben camp to pass the decree also fled back to the palace in embarrassment, and reported to King Zhongshun what happened in the Huben camp with embarrassment.

"This plague-stricken Sun Er is actually my king's enemy!"

King Zhongshun was furious at the moment, wishing he could swallow Sun Shaozong alive, and deeply regretting that he had underestimated him. If he had known this, he should have planted the death of the prince on his head years ago, so that he would never recover!

No matter how annoyed, regretted and hated King Zhongshun was, there was nothing he could do at the moment.

After much deliberation, he could only bite the bullet and rush to Xiyuan again.

This time the Supreme Emperor didn't carry the bird cage, but was pacing back and forth on the gravel path with the support of two eunuchs.

This method was invented by Prince Yizhong back then, and he said that it can massage the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, making people light, healthy and youthful.

However, King Zhongshun sneered at this, how can some broken stones be worth the green hands of the beautiful maidservant of the palace?

If he saw how ridiculous the scene was in the past, how annoyed he would be when he saw this scene now, and agreed to conspire to usurp the throne, how could it be that he shaves his head and picks his head?

No wonder everyone says the emperor is not in a hurry, eunuch

Pooh!

After spitting secretly, King Zhongshun stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Father is very elegant, but I don't know that the monkey grandson is going to come and make trouble in the heavenly palace!"

As he said that, he recounted the situation of the Huben camp with embellishments. Just from his words, it seemed that the King Qin's army led by Sun Shaozong had already killed outside the Meridian Gate.

After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor stopped, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and handed another handkerchief to King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun left in a hurry just now, and his temples were a little sweaty, so he thanked him, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and prepared to continue exaggerating, urging the Supreme Emperor to come forward to reverse the situation.

But when he raised his hand halfway, he suddenly felt that the handkerchief was strange, and looked carefully, but there was no handkerchief in his hand, it was clearly a rag torn from his clothes.

And there is a line of blood written on it: King Zhongshun intends to rebel, His Majesty is imprisoned in the Qing Palace!

King Zhongshun shook his hands and almost threw the blood book away, and then he hurriedly held it in his palm and asked in a panic: "Father, what is this?"

"It was just brought in from outside the palace."

The Supreme Emperor looked at King Zhongshun, and added: "Then Sun Shaozong also has it."

"This this"

King Zhongshun became more and more panicked, shaking off the bloody book and stomping his feet repeatedly: "What can I do! Father, if you really want Sun Er to find those two lowly maidservants, we will be finished! You must"

"Woo woo woo lord, lord! woo woo lord!"

Just as he was asking for help, he didn't want to cry loudly outside, and then he saw an old eunuch with white beard staggering towards him, knelt down and wailed, "The Supreme Emperor! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he has mastered Bintian!"

"what?!"

King Zhongshun was dumbfounded when he heard the words.

He wanted to wait for Emperor Guangde to become the throne after his death, but he never thought that Emperor Guangde would die so suddenly, especially at this juncture!

The emperor died in the palace as soon as he found out the blood letter of his rebellion outside the palace. Don't say if he can explain it clearly. Even if he can explain it clearly, when he chooses the emperor's successor in the future, he may have to avoid suspicion and withdraw. Walk!

Thinking of this, King Zhongshun pulled up the old eunuch angrily, and asked, "How did he die? How did he die?! The imperial doctor obviously said that he was just in a hurry, and if he takes good care of him, he will have at least a few months to live!" "

"woooooo"

The old eunuch cried: "Your Majesty is already seriously ill, and your lord has isolated the inside and outside. There is a lack of medical care and medicine, and the cost of food and clothing is short. How can we still be able to do so?"
