The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Clang, clang, clang...

The melodious bells rang three rounds in succession. The two brothers looked at each other in the study. It took a long while before Sun Shaozu said suspiciously, "It seems to be twenty-seven?"

It was indeed twenty-seven sounds.

In the Great Zhou system, the Jingyang bell has seven tones in one round, announcing the official start of the early dynasty; in the sixteen tones, it is an emergency that calls hundreds of civil and military officials into the palace for discussion.

As for the twenty-seven tones and thirty-six tones, the national funeral that heralds the death of the empress, if there are no special circumstances, officials of the fifth grade and above in the middle of the capital must go to the palace to show their filial piety.

Both the emperor and the Taishang emperor died with thirty-six sounds. Now that there are twenty-seven sounds, it has nothing to do with Emperor Guangde and his son.

It should be the queen mother, queen, and prince [adult], some people suddenly passed away.

Uh~

If the emperor's biological mother died, she should also be among the twenty-seven national funerals.

"It shouldn't be the Empress Empress and His Royal Highness."

Sun Shaozong pondered: "I don't know whether it is the queen mother or the concubine..."

Having said that, he and Sun Shaozu looked at each other, and both were a little uneasy.

One of these two is a married wife who has accompanied the Taishang Emperor for 60 years, and the other is the biological mother of the current emperor.

But now suddenly and unclearly died...

Maybe I am afraid that there will be another huge wave inside and outside the court!

"Let's go."

Sun Shaozu promptly said: "You go and change your clothes first. I will ask Zhao Zhongji to go to the street to inquire about it, and see if I can be sure which noble person is going."

As the saying goes, whether it is a blessing or a curse, or a curse that cannot be avoided, now we can only take a step and see.

Sun Shaozong returned home anxiously. Ruan Rong had already asked Xiangling to understand the meaning of the bell, so he had already prepared plain clothes.

After hurriedly changing, Sun Shaozong returned to the front yard, only to see that under the two porches, the eldest brother was talking to Zhao Zhongji.

"how is it?"

He hurriedly hurried a few steps before stepping forward and asking: "Have you ever inquired clearly, who is the nobleman in the palace?"

The cheap eldest brother raised his chin at Zhao Zhongji with a weird look, and Zhao Zhongji hurriedly responded: "If you return to the second master, it is not the nobleman in the palace..."

"what?!"

Sun Shaozong was shocked: "Could it be that the Crown Prince had an accident?!"

This shouldn't be. The prince was fine two days ago, but he is under heavy protection now. It stands to reason that there should be some accidents...

"Not the prince either."

Zhao Zhongji shook his head and said, "I heard that Prince Yizhong died."

Righteousness...

Prince Yizhong is dead? !

Sun Shaozong seemed to be sap suddenly, and he was in a trance in the clouds, and he did not react for a long time.

Since crossing this world, Prince Yizhong has shown his sense of existence all the time, first forcing the original owner to leave his hometown, and then gradually exposing the identity of the traverser's predecessor.

Coupled with his hidden crony parties, Sun Shaozong has always treated him as a BOSS!

Especially after going to the palace two days ago, Prince Yizhong's kind of weird performance made Sun Shaozong secretly surprised, as if he raised his level of danger to the level of the ultimate boss.

But who would have thought that after just a few days of effort, this ultimate BOSS would receive his lunch directly!

After a long trance, he remembered what was wrong, frowning suspiciously: "Even if Prince Yizhong is really dead, it is not a national funeral, right?"

"I heard that it was the meaning of the prince, so please follow the rules of the prince to treat the funeral."

This is even stranger!

Such handling of the affairs of Prince Yizhong will not give some people the illusion that the person who really wants to pass the throne is actually Prince Yizhong.

How could Emperor Guangde agree to these things related to orthodox names? !

After inexplicably pondering for a long time, but still unable to understand, Sun Shaozong had to continue to ask: "Then have you ever inquired about how Prince Yizhong died?"

"I heard that he was taking Taoist Pills and was unavailable, and he died from the poison."

According to the performance of Prince Yizhong that day, he really looked like a silly looking for immortals.

But since the hot air balloon incident, the palace began to impose restrictions on imports and exports. Drugs such as lead and mercury are even more taboos among the taboos. Even if Prince Yizhong wants to take the pill to kill himself, he has no chance at all.

In short, this matter is strange inside and out!

"Jiro, it's useless to think about it now. Let's go to the palace to see the situation first."

At this time, the cheapest brother greeted him and headed to the stable first.

Upon seeing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly followed.

No words all the way.

By the time of Wumen, many officials were already standing on the square, talking in twos and threes. Sun Shaozong listened for a long while with his ears in his ears, only to find that everyone was not discussing official affairs or talking about trivial matters at home. No one dared to discuss the current state funeral.

Too.

How can someone who can be a fifth-grade official fail to understand the principle of promoting good fortune and avoiding evil?

I am afraid that only those noble second generation ancestors will be confused.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but craned his neck and scanned the front row, trying to find out who the four kings and eight princes are, and he went over to listen to see if there was any inside information.

Unexpectedly, before he could see clearly, a person suddenly leaned forward and asked, "Sun Qianhu, have you ever seen our lord of the town hall?"

But it turned out to be Chen Xingzhi, a thousand households in charge, Zhao Jiayi, deputy thousand households, and others searched for it.

When Sun Shaozong saw this, he had to give up his original plan and greeted him in a low voice: "I also just arrived, maybe Master Zhenfu hasn't rushed over yet."

Chen Xingzhi and the others stared at each other, but their faces showed some solemn expressions.

What's wrong again?

Sun Shaozong was inexplicable, he heard Zhao Jiayi whisper: "Master Zhenfu went into the palace by order because it was dark yesterday. I'll wait until I heard that you were in the palace yesterday. You still think you are in the same place. ."

Lu Hui entered the palace before dawn yesterday?

This is the first time Sun Shaozong heard about it.

He wondered to himself whether Lu Hui entering the palace on an order would be directly or indirectly related to the death of Prince Yizhong~www.readwn.com~, but he said: "I left the palace yesterday morning. , I didn't bump into Lord Zhenfu."

After hearing these words, Zhao Jiayi appeared to be hesitant to say something, presumably he was also suspicious, Lu Hui was involved in this sudden national funeral.

Everyone was staring here, and suddenly heard someone screaming: "Are the people from Beizhen Fusi here? How come I don't know how to urge you adults to line up in front of the Wumen Gate?!"

The person who shouted was Dai Quan.

And what he said was obviously to scold his subordinates, but in fact it was spoken to hundreds of civil and military officials, so everyone was busy in orderly lined up in front of the Wumen according to the size of the official position.

As for Sun Shaozong and others, because Dai Quan's words were in front, they naturally had to pretend to be around to maintain order.

Because of the official rank of Cong, Sun Shaozong is naturally in the front row.

Just after we greeted Xue Pan’s father-in-law Wang Shangshu, a little **** quietly approached him and preached in his throat: "Master Sun, Grandpa Dai will let you go over and speak."
