Niu Jizong’s sister recommended herself to solve the case?

No matter how you think about it, there is something weird.

So much so that Sun Shaozong was a little suspicious that she was actually guarding and stealing herself, and then set a trap to trick herself into entering the palace in order to avenge her brother.

but……

Since Sun Shaozong was going to investigate the case, Sun Shaozong would naturally bring all his staff - especially this case was very likely to involve ghosts. King Zhongxin wanted Sun Shaozong to supervise the case, so there was no reason to refuse the yakuza to enter the palace.

Could it be said that Princess Niu can hide hundreds of sergeants privately, and give orders to fire all the arrows and shoot these many officials and servants to death?

Therefore, although Sun Shaozong had doubts in his heart, he did not refuse to go to the palace to investigate the case-besides, he had no reason to refuse.

Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple was originally in charge of investigating major cases full-time, and the loss of the Korean National Treasure by the Royal Palace was within his scope of authority no matter how he looked at it.

Now the King of Faithfulness has deliberately nodded his name. How can Sun Shaozong have any reason not to go?

At the moment, they packed up, summoned Sizheng Tang Weishan, Temple deputy Chen Jingde, head hunter Huang Bin, and more than 20 government officials, and rushed to the Zhongxin Palace in a mighty manner.

The Zhongxin Palace is located near the Dongsi Archway. It occupies a large area, but the location is slightly off. Of course, this is only relative to the other palaces. In fact, it is only separated from the busy city by an alley.

Seeing the carriage leading the way, it stopped in front of the west gate of the palace, and Sun Shaozong got out of the carriage immediately.

Seeing the palace steward with a sharp-mouthed monkey gill greeted from inside, he leaned in front of Hu Tai and whispered a few words. The light from the corner of his eyes couldn't help but swept Sun Shaozong's side.

If the prince of two people is fat, he has used a butler like a stick. Isn't this just what is missing?

Sun Shaozong didn’t let Sun Shaozong wait any more. The two whispered to each other, Hu Tai looked for it with an apologetic expression, and bowed and said, “I’m sorry, my prince is so upset because of this case, it’s really inconvenient to see Mr. Sun right now. ——But you can rest assured that all powers and responsibilities will be released, and the investigation will not be delayed."

This is also in line with Sun Shaozong's impression that King Zhongxin has rarely met with foreign ministers in recent years, and this time it has been consistent.

As for being rude...

As a prince, as long as you don't have those messy thoughts, don't you say that Sun Shaozong, a Fourth-Rank Shaoqing, is the old man and Shang Shu face to face. How can he help him?

Therefore, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to care about it, and went straight to the subject: "Since this is the case, can Hu Changshi take me to the treasury for a look."

"My lord, please follow me."

Hu Tai led the way with his hand, and Sun Shaozong led Tang Weishan and Chen Jingde to follow closely. As for Huang Bin and other officials and arrests, they were only allowed to enter the palace with the accompaniment of the palace guards.

Although it is a study room, but because it is a private library, its location is not only not secluded, but built in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, where the defense is the most tight.

The surrounding walls are about one zhang five [about five meters] high, and there are only some flowers and plants in the vicinity, and there are no half trees.

At this time, outside the wall, there were almost three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry. There were still a few ladders nearby. Obviously, before Sun Shaozong arrived, the Prince's Mansion was also conducting self-examination.

"Hu Changshi."

Before entering the courtyard gate, Sun Shaozong paused, stopped Hu Tai, pointed to the surrounding walls and said: "Since we are investigating the case, the official can't care about etiquette. The wall is near, and I should first hand it over to my Dali Temple. An **** guard is more appropriate-of course, the royal guard can also be on the side to supervise it."

"Naturally listen to your orders."

Hu Tai clasped his fists, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that the prince's private library is no better than the other side after all. I also ask Mrs. Sun not to bring too many people in to avoid errors."

In this rigorous posture, no matter how many people go in, most of them don’t dare to go hand in hand, because they are afraid that there are too many people, and if something happens to be broken, it is not a joke.

Anyway, it's not like letting yourself in alone.

Sun Shaozong nodded and agreed. He called Chen Jingde first and ordered him to take someone outside to check the wall to see if there were any signs of intrusion over the wall.

Then he took Tang Weishan, Huang Bin, and four old and respectful bureaucrats into the study of the palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bookshelf stuck on the south wall, obliquely stuck in the corner, revealing a big hole as high as half a person.

While Sun Shaozong looked at the bookshelf and the entrance of the private library, he used the corner of his eye to keep an eye on Hu Tai's every move.

I saw Hu Tai walking quickly to the entrance of the private library, pointing to the bookshelf on the side and saying: "There is a mechanism on this bookshelf that needs a key to open, and there is no trace of damage on it. I guess it was opened by a clever method."

Sun Shaozong also walked closer, and under Hu Tai's guidance, he carefully examined the keyhole on the bookshelf.

This is a mechanism disguised as a table clock. Originally, there was a keyhole for winding the clockwork. The keyhole for opening the secret door is hidden under the dial. You need to remove the buckles around the dial one by one. Exposed.

According to Hu Tai, the sequence of removing the four buckles cannot be wrong, otherwise it will make the bell ring loudly and alarm the guards on patrol.

Seeing that there was no sign of damage on the clock, Sun Shaozong asked Hu Tai for the key, first reached in halfway and turned left, then put the key in, and turned right twice, only to hear the bookcase rattle. Slowly moved back to the original position, closing the entrance of the private library tightly.

After doing it again, the bookcase slowly moved to the corner.

Then he tried the wrong way again, and the bells rang loudly, and the trembling ears hummed.

Obviously this mechanism is in normal operation.

Sun Shaozong put the key in his palm and looked at it back and forth, and asked, "Who is in the house who knows how to open this private library?"

Hu Tai smiled bitterly: "It's true that I know that this private library is located, and there are about a dozen people in the house-but the only ones who know how to open it are the princess, the concubine Wu, and the recently favored Liudu people."

In other words, only the wife of King Faithful and the big and small who knows the complete opening method on the bright side.

This seems to be more and more like a trick to invite the king into the urn.

however……

Sun Shaozong squinted at Hu Tai. This rather gentle and gentleman's long history doesn't look like a dead man. If there is a deadly institution in the private library, Hu Tai will probably not be spared.

However, just in case, Sun Shaozong decided to proceed carefully, so he raised his voice and said: "Tang Temple Zheng and Huang catch the head, you two will enter the private vault with Hu Changshi first. I will close this entrance outside. You see If the culprit hides in the private vault in advance, there is a way to unlock it from the inside."

Tang Weishan and Huang Bin didn't doubt that they had him, and they immediately promised.

Hu Tai seemed to have thought of something, but he only smiled wryly and did not raise any objections.

In this way, the three of them went into the private vault one after another.

In other words...

This person who designed the entrance to the private library is afraid that he has an enmity with the King of Faithfulness?

With his fat body, it might be very difficult to get in and out of the private library.

Not long after, I listened to Tang Weishan yelling inside: "My lord, you can close the Kumen."

It seems that there is no mechanism that will be triggered after entering ~www.readwn.com~.

Next, as long as you try to keep Hu Tai outside, let Huang Bin stare at him, forbid him to touch anything, and then go in and investigate.

Thinking about it this way, Sun Shaozong closed the Kumen with the key, waited a long while, and unexpectedly received a response of ‘cannot be opened from the inside’.

Only then did Sun Shaozong reopen the private library entrance.

Hu Tai, Tang Weishan, and Huang Bin filed out again.

Except for Hu Tai, the other two looked in a trance, apparently surprised by the treasures inside.

Hu Tai bowed his hand to Sun Shaozong: "Master Sun, do you want to go in and check it now?"

Sun Shaozong was just waiting to nod his head, and then used the reason he had thought up a long time ago to leave him in the study, but his nose was abrupt, and then he took a few deep breaths.

Then he couldn't wait to ask: "Is there some spices in it?"

Hu Tai was taken aback, nodded without knowing why, and further explained: "The few permanent lamps inside are made of special lamp oil, and the aroma when lit is stronger than ordinary spices."

Sun Shaozong immediately asked again: "Is that night pearl usually placed in a box or outside?"

"It's on a soft, palm-sized table, usually uncovered."

It was Huang Bin who answered this time. It was obvious that he had just completed the most basic investigation even though he was in a state of shock.

"In that case, the officer will not go in."

Sun Shaozong smiled and greeted Hu Tai's surprised gaze and said, "Hu Changshi, please let me find a few hunting dogs."

As soon as the voice fell, Hu Tai also brightened his eyes, and immediately responded loudly, rushing out to find the slender manager.

About a quarter of an hour, a few hounds were led to Sun Shaozong.
