The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the drizzle was all over.

Sun Shaozong stepped up, absently crossing the threshold of the Prince's Mansion.

Although the ‘Prince Case’ has reached a deadlock and there is no clue that can pinpoint the real culprit at all, the establishment of the task force has not been revoked. Therefore, after returning to Beijing, Sun Shaozong should come over and point out.

Not to mention, the situation in the front yard of the Prince's Palace in this special daylight scene has somewhat improved the deciduous grasses that had originally accumulated. They were all cleaned up, and the bluestone slabs were covered by the rain just after it rained. The scouring is bright, and it looks extremely neat.

"Dare to ask, but Master Sun is in person?"

Sun Shaozong was standing in the doorway, looking at the situation in the yard, and suddenly a short fat man came out from the door, trotting to the front, slanting and flattering himself to report to the door: "The head of the humble Zhanshi Palace book Wang Dexiu, the first few days Ri has just been transferred to take care of His Royal Highness and all the adults."

Palace Chief Zhanshi is only a seventh-rank official post, but it may not necessarily be the one who can be stuffed into the Prince's Palace at the cusp of this storm.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong didn't dare to be too negligent, and Wei Wei gave a gift and said with a smile: "The king's book is at the door early in the morning. Isn't it a special trip waiting for the officer?"

This is just a casual joke. Who knows that Wang Dexiu nodded his head and said sternly: "His Royal Highness heard that the lord has returned to the capital, and the special humble post is here to greet you, saying that when you arrive in the mansion, you will be summoned. ."

Gee~

After hiding for more than half a month, I didn't expect the prince to be so enthusiastic.

This is not in line with Sun Shaozong's desire to avoid suspicion.

Fortunately, when I went to the government office two days ago, the negotiation was settled. After the festival, Jia Yucun would write to the court to formally recall Sun Shaozong back to the government office on the grounds of insufficient manpower in the Shuntian government.

This is not all an excuse, but the embarrassment of Shuntian Mansion.

Now the position of Fu Yin has been vacant, Sun Shaozong seconded the task force, and Wei Ruolan was detained in Dali Temple [Even if he can be released in the future, it is estimated that he is unlikely to continue to serve as a criminal sentence]. The overall situation of the Shuntian Mansion is supported by the general judgment, which is really a little stretched.

Anyway, this task force is also in a stagnant state, and it will probably take a few days, and it should be able to withdraw as a matter of course. Right now, let's try to perfuse the prince for a few more days.

Thinking about this, Sun Shaozong raised his chin slightly, and was about to ask Wang Dexiu to lead the way, but he hurriedly ran to a small servant from the side, stepping on the spray all the way to the front, breathlessly saying: "The main book Your lord, Princess Beijing came to see His Royal Highness, and she is now waiting at the west gate. Look..."

"Princess Beijing?!"

When Wang Dexiu heard this, he stomped anxiously: "Are you stupid?! How can you let the princess and empress wait outside the door? This..."

"cough."

Sun Shaozong interrupted him with a dry cough, and said in a serious tone: "Now it is not unusual. This mansion cannot tolerate outsiders to enter and leave privately. Even if Princess Beijing is here, you should first inform your Highness to know, and then wait for your Highness to make a decision."

Wang Dexiu was bluffed by the name of Princess Beijing at the beginning. Hearing what Sun Shaozong said, he suddenly woke up. He slapped his face twice with great effort, and said with a sneer: "Look at the memory of a humble job. , In a moment of desperation, I forgot the rules of the mansion and went to report to your highness!"

As he said, he took a few steps forward in a hurry, and suddenly remembered something, then turned around and laughed, "I would also like to ask the adults to go with the humble position."

This panicked look, he shouldn't have deliberately disguised it.

It seems that just now the judge has made a difference, this servant was stuffed into the Prince's Mansion, I am afraid it may not have any background and ability, but to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Now that he came to such a conclusion, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't bother to spend much time with a little master book, so he raised his head and signaled Wang Dexiu to lead the way, and then followed him to the house in silence.

As he walked, he naturally didn't idle in his heart, pondering the long-legged concubine to himself, and suddenly came to the door to see what the prince intended.

What is basically certain is that this visit must be related to Wei Ruolan's case, but this case does not seem to have much to do with the prince, right?

Besides, even if it is really involved, the prince would like Niu's and Shui Rong to come and bite the dog, and it is too late to watch the excitement next to him. How could he come forward to mediate, or simply favor one side?

Or……

So what bargaining chips did Wei bring, and are confident that he can tell the prince to protect Wei Ruolan?

Since it was guessing out of thin air, it was naturally difficult to figure out what the result would be, so Sun Shaozong couldn't figure out why when he arrived at the prince's residence.

When he arrived at the door, Wang Dexian waited to ask someone to tell him, but the few servants regarded him as nothing, and surrounded Sun Shaozong with a flattering voice, saying no words of joy:

"Congratulations to Master Sun for being promoted to the fourth-tier councilor."

"The villain has seen Senator Sun!"

"The important Zhu Zi minister in the court, you are afraid that you are the youngest and most promising!"

The leader even let it in without stopping, saying that His Royal Highness had been depressed for more than half a month, and he hoped that Sun Shaozong would come over and could say a few words about himself.

What this said...

Where did you put the prince?

Seeing Wang Dexiu on the side, awkwardly at a loss, Sun Shaozong only had time to wink and said that he would help him report the matter of Princess Beijing, and he was surrounded by several servants and the stars.

When he arrived at the bedroom door, Sun Shaozong bowed slightly at the closed door, and was about to declare his own door, but he heard the prince roar inside: "But Sun Aiqing is here?! Hurry up, come in and talk! "

Listening to this joyful tone, it really seemed to be holding back something, as if to vomit to myself.

Sun Shaozong pushed the door in and saw the prince sitting on the head of the bed with his legs folded, his complexion obviously better than before.

In fact, the new **** in the palace can go to work in less than two months.

In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the prince is far more than a hundred times stronger than the eunuchs, and there are eunuchs who are waiting for him all day long. It stands to reason that the speed of recovery from the injury should be much faster than that of the eunuchs.

It's just that the prince is spoiled after all, but whenever there is a little pain, he would rather lie down on the bed, so until now, he is only able to sit on the bed.

"Sun Aiqing doesn't need to be polite!"

Just after Sun Shaozong stepped forward to see the ceremony, he heard the prince eagerly asking: "You now have two or three daylight scenes when you return to Beijing, but I don't know if there is any decent scrutiny regarding the shooting of the Niu's father? Na Wei Was Ruolan framed by someone, or did she accidentally hurt her life?"

It turned out that he wanted to see himself because of this case.

It’s also right. Although the case seems to have nothing to do with the prince at first glance, the prince’s heart has long believed that the Niu family must have killed him. Now that the Niu family’s son is suddenly killed, he can be regarded as a minor incident. A mouthful of disgust.

but……

Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, and carefully tentatively said without answering the question: "This matter has been nearly ten days in the past. His Royal Highness has been sitting in the center of Beijing. You should have a conclusion in your heart?"

The prince really didn’t take Sun Shaozong as an outsider. He spread his hands and said depressed: “Originally, I was a little speculative. I thought it might be because my father wanted to avenge the lone. That’s why... But I let the prince concubine enter the palace several times. It’s not like the father did it."

At this point, his eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth several times but he stopped talking.

Isn't it the handwriting of Emperor Guangde? !

And seeing the prince like this, it seems that there is something else hidden in it.

The prince was already outspoken to himself when he doubted the emperor's words, Sun Shaozong naturally had no scruples, so he lowered his voice a little, and asked, "His Majesty, what else has he discovered?"

"This……"

The prince was still hesitating, and it took a long time before he said seriously: "The lonely did not find anything else, but was a little worried about his father's body. I heard that the father sent someone to collect a lot of tiger and wolf prescriptions. , Does not care about the body in the slightest... alas!

Having said this, he sighed heavily: "Guzhen is afraid of his father's dragon body, so he can't stand this kind of torment."

Hehe~

It was said that he was worried about Emperor Guangde's body, but looking at the uneasy appearance of the prince, I am afraid that what he was really worried about was that Emperor Guangde's health was too good, and he really made another son!

It is self-evident how Emperor Guangde will choose between the false grandson and the true prince.

But since it's about the emperor, how dare Sun Shaozong mix into the fake emperor's grandson indiscriminately? It was a helpless response, not Sun Shaozong deliberately.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong just pretended not to understand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Hongfu Qitian, and you have the emperor's doctors around him, it should be no problem if you want to come to the dragon body."

As he said, he was afraid that the prince would continue to entangle this topic, so he hurriedly said: "As for the murder of Niu's family son, you don't need to be busy with deliberation at the moment. Please your Royal Highness will discuss the matter with the minister after meeting a person first. It's not too late."

"See someone?"

The prince was very puzzled: "Is there anyone in this world who is better at investigating crimes than Sun Aiqing?"

"It's not the investigator, but actually..."

Sun Shaozong took the initiative to come to see Princess Beijing, who was waiting outside the west gate, and simply informed the prince.

But the prince was confused and frowned: "This shrew is not at home to force Shui Rong to come forward to find people, but what is she doing here in the lonely place?"

Immediately, he raised his head again and said: "No matter, since she took the initiative to come to see Sun Aiqing, who is still going to see, please go for a while, keep all the people she brought out of the door, and then order people to take care of them. She did a good search."

It's okay to keep Princess Beijing's entourage out of the door, but this order to search her for a while, it seems a bit too much.

Sun Shaozong was about to persuade him, but he heard the prince sneer again: "Uncle Wang has always been close to loneliness. Since this shrew has fallen on his face, loneliness will naturally seek justice for him!"

It turned out that he wanted to fight the injustice for King Zhongshun.

Looking at the appearance of the prince, you know that persuasion is useless. The little lady of the Wei family has been hostile to the Sun family for a long time, and no matter how she offends it, it will be the same.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong didn't insist too much. He bowed and exited the room, and simply conveyed the meaning of the prince. He called on two eunuchs and four court ladies, and walked towards the west gate in a hug.

No words all the way.

When I arrived at the west gate, I saw a luxurious carriage parked outside, with eight women's army in leather armor standing by, and even the coachman who drove the carriage was a woman with a big waist.

This pomp...

Isn't King Bei Jing already tired of debts?

"His Royal Highness spoke to you."

When Sun Shaozong arrived in front of the car, he said in a loud voice, "Except for the princess, no one is allowed to enter the mansion!"

Halfway through, the women's army clamored, so Sun Shaozong had to increase the volume and continued: "Because the assassination case has not been investigated, no one who enters the palace is allowed to carry an inch of iron, so if the princess wants to visit His Royal Highness, I am afraid It is to be a little wronged."

Before he finished his words, the carriage curtain suddenly opened, revealing a pretty face with a stern face, and said coldly: "This watchdog of the Prince's Mansion, when did you change one!"

She really is a shrew!

Sun Shaozong and her have seen two sides in total. The first time she shot an arrow with a bow, she was belittled as a watchdog this time.

Sun Shaozong's gaze condensed, just waiting for Pi Li Yangqiu's sneer, someone behind him suddenly said: "These two servants have just been transferred from the palace. My sister has never seen it before and is normally tight."

Looking back, it was the princess in a graceful dress, curled up in the company of several Gong Es.

When approaching, the prince concubine Sun Shaozong solemnly said a blessing, and said softly: "Sister Wei Jia is an old acquaintance of this palace, and I also ask the adults to be accommodating one or two, so as to avoid her body search."

Her posture proved that Sun Shaozong did not preach the imperial decree, but had a definite target; secondly, she showed her respect for Sun Shaozong. As for the watchdog, naturally she could only fall on the heads of two eunuchs.

"Don't dare."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly bowed and said, "Weichen will follow the instructions of the empress."

This one bowed his head ~www.readwn.com~ a half-squat, originally it was condescending, especially Sun Shaozong's altitude is extraordinary, and he immediately saw a piece of seductive white greasy from the neckline, as well as the sapphire blue contour of apron.

I don’t know if this bellyband was placed in the closet that day...

Thinking about this, naturally the gaze was taken back for a while, and she was embarrassingly caught by the crown prince. She immediately made the crown prince blush, and gave Sun Shaozong a shameful glance, and then managed to suppress it. Stopping the annoyance in my heart, he turned his head and greeted Wei.

The two of them didn't know what they were whispering, so they took each other's arms and entered the prince's mansion.

It is said that the crown princess and Wei are leaving hand in hand, it is true that Chunlan Qiuju has their own victories, one is heroic, the other is graceful and dignified; the other is tall and graceful, the other is rich and graceful; the other...

Uh, this is not the time for yy.

Sun Shaozong shook his head, put all the out-of-date thoughts behind him, and then adorned him from a distance, preparing to wait for Princess Beijing to meet the prince, and then ask the prince what her intentions and bargaining chips are.
