Detective in the Red Chamber

In fact, as soon as he heard that the soldiers himself had started a fight, Sun Shaozong reckoned that he had something to do with the Shenji Battalion—in the past month or so, the conflicts between the Shenji Battalion and the other three major battalions have happened every now and then. For one thing, Han Fu Yin was already in a state of distress.

The root cause is naturally inseparable from the series of reforms promoted by Emperor Guangde.

Following the change of military ranks and titles last fall, Emperor Guangde suddenly decided to elevate the status of Shenji Battalion among the Fourth Battalion and One Guard of the capital. The head of the forbidden army.

As soon as the news came out, the Huben Battalion, Patrol Battalion, and City Defense Battalion were all blown up.

We must know that firearms are inconvenient to use these days, and their range and accuracy are inferior to bows and crossbows. The existence at the bottom of Yiwei.

Who would be convinced that this guy who gathered chicken feathers to make a duster should surpass the heads of real fighters with real swords and guns?

The big bosses at the top wrote letters to oppose it one after another, and the arrogant soldiers at the bottom even regarded Shenjiying as a thorn in their side, and they would make things difficult when they saw the opportunity.

And the Shenji Camp saw that they were about to stand up, how could they be willing to weaken their momentum at this time?

As a result, the conflicts, large and small, will continue to be troubled one after another.

But he said that he knew that the fight had not yet started, and Sun Shaozong was relieved. If it was really a fight that had already been fought, it would be difficult for him to show up.

As for now...

"Report my name, let them get out of the way and make trouble, don't delay the people coming in and out!"

"Here!"

The healthy servant agreed, and immediately urged his horse to the gate of the city, and saw dozens of Qiuba in the gate, all of different heights, short, fat, and thin, all with their chests stretched out and their necks stuck, saying something like, "Try to move me", 'So what if you move', 'You try to move' and other nonsense.

slap~

The healthy servant shook his horsewhip against the wind, and roared loudly, "Master Sun, the governor of Shuntian Mansion, ordered you to get out of the way immediately, so as not to delay the people's entry and exit!"

There was a sudden silence in the doorway.

Immediately, the city gate officer said arrogantly, "Did you hear that, Mr. Sun told you to go away!"

The leader of the Shenji Battalion was not to be outdone, and shouted, "What are you so proud of, Mr. Sun clearly asked us to get out of the way!"

Although they were still bickering with each other, no one dared to disobey Sun Shaozong's intentions. After all, unlike ordinary fifth-rank civil servants, Sun Shaozong was not only well-connected in the upper echelon of the military, but also famous for his bravery in the capital.

Especially last time in the Jinmen mansion, Sun Shaozong was famous in the army with one enemy and one hundred, and three ranks. Naturally, no one who is not open-eyed would dare to provoke him at will.

Of course, this is the conflict between the Shenji Battalion and the City Defense Battalion. If it were a conflict with the Patrol Battalion, the people in the Shenji Battalion might not be convinced because of the cheap brother.

Not to mention how the two army leaders asked to meet Sun Shaozong to make amends, and how the servant refused without hesitation.

But he said that after the city gate was restored, Sun Shaozong returned to the mansion unimpeded all the way, first settled Xiangling and Ruan Rong, and then went to find a cheap brother to chat.

After briefly mentioning the commotion at the gate of the city, Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "Brother, how long will this incident last? It's really going to kill a few people, it's not a joke!"

Right now, only a few people were injured, but if there was a real incident of death, the Criminal Department might also be involved—no way, who let the Shuntian Mansion be lenient?

This is no different from ordinary criminal proceedings, which are sandwiched between the two ends.

"I reckon it's almost settled."

I heard Sun Shaozu say, "When I went to the palace a few days ago, King Zhongshun slipped some words, saying that the Shenji Battalion will be brought to Jinmen Mansion for reorganization, and some new firearms will be installed in batches."

Speaking of this, he cautiously glanced outside the door a few times to make sure that there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said, "I also heard that this new type of firearm was obtained from Prince Yizhong, and it took a lot of effort It took more than a hundred imitations."

tsk~

This is probably also the Yangluo that Emperor Guangde picked up during the hot air balloon incident.

Engage in business, advance technology, develop firearms...

What this Prince Yizhong did was like what the protagonist of the ordinary time traveler did.

It's a pity that he learned the protagonist's routine, but he didn't have the luck of Long Ao's weather. In the end, it was nothing to say that he fetched water from a bamboo basket, and he also gave Emperor Guangde a super gift bag.

I don't know what level of technology the new musket is at—but no matter what level it is, it will take at least two or three years before it can be officially used on the battlefield.

At that time, they will be able to catch up with Wang Ziteng's Southeast War...

"correct."

Just as he was thinking about it, the cheap brother suddenly changed the subject and said, "I heard from Siqi that the little girl from the Shi family is also very good-looking. Instead of taking advantage of the Wei family's little bastard, why don't we act first?" ?”

As he spoke, he winked at Sun Shaozong, which was self-evident.

Sun Shaozong's face suddenly collapsed. Naturally, Shi Xiangyun's appearance and background are not to be chosen. I heard that she is also lively and cheerful, but the problem is that she is younger than Lin Daiyu, and she is not even 13 years old now!

Such a little girl is really...

what?

Marry first and go home, raise her for two years and then eat her alive?

Just kidding?

It's already on the tip of his tongue, how could Sun Shaozong hold back?

He is not the kind of strong-willed master who can be strict with himself without the shackles of the law!

So it's best not to ask for trouble.

However, just as Sun Shaozong was about to shirk, he heard footsteps outside, and then Zhao Zhongji reported outside, saying that the three nephews and young masters had something to see.

Chapter 308 Warm water boiled frog

In the early morning of the second day, the Xing Ming Si was in the main hall.

"Usually two courtyards are fine. The kind that can be moved in as soon as possible. The location should not be too remote. If it is near the northwest of the inner city, it would be best..."

Lin Delu transcribed Sun Shaozong's repeated requests on paper one by one, and then carefully confirmed them. Then he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we can find a suitable house for those people in the Criminal Division."

Last night, Sun Chengye, Yu Qian, and Sun Chengtian came to the door, but what they were talking about was buying a house.

Needless to say, Sun Chengye, since he has already decided to stay in the capital to wait for the exam, and he is planning to bring his family to Beijing, it is naturally not good for him to live in his cousin's house all the time.

As for Yu Qian, although he was a bit vague, the meaning should be that Wang Shangshu made it clear that he would secretly help him stay in Beijing for a post, so Yu Qian also planned to take his family over and settle down in the capital.

As for Sun Chengtao...

He has no intention of buying a house in the capital, but it is very likely that he will move to Sun Chengye's house.

This is also the meaning of the question, Brother Cheap and Sun Shaozong kept a few symbolic words, and then asked them about their requirements for buying a house.

And Brother Cheap is mostly on duty outside the city, and most of his subordinates are Qiu Ba. It is naturally more convenient for Sun Shaozong to scan the situation in the city.

So when he arrived at the yamen early this morning, Sun Shaozong called Lin Delu and briefly repeated the request so that the scribes below could help him to pay attention.

But when Lin Delu hurried to Dongkuayuan to convey Sun Shaozong's latest 'instruction', Cheng Rixing waited for the opportunity to sneak into the back room.

"Dong Weng."

I heard him say, "I don't know if you have heard of the scalding of Second Master Bao?"

Jia Baoyu was burned?

Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked, "When did it happen? Is it serious?"

"I heard it was scalded on the first night of the first day of junior high school. It's not that serious. Even if I got burnt by lamp oil, I don't know if it will leave a scar."

As Cheng Rixing said, he couldn't help showing some regret and unbearable expression on his face.

Sun Shaozong didn't feel that he couldn't bear it. On the contrary, he even felt that if Jia Baoyu was really out of shape, it might be great news for Lin Daiyu—at least you don't have to worry about it in the future, this kid is like a teddy The men and women flirted.

Of course, this can only be thought in the heart, but it is not easy to say it.

What's more, it's fine if he doesn't know about it, now that he knows about it, he might come to visit him.

So Sun Shaozong ordered the servants on duty to go to the Sun Mansion to get some nourishing medicinal materials, and planned to leave the office early in the afternoon and go to the Rongguo Mansion for a walk.

After Zhang Luo finished these trivial matters, it was the turn of Sun Shaozong's long-planned highlight.

"Master Cheng, go and invite Fu Tongpan over here, and tell me that I have something to ask."

Or it's money that touches people's hearts, especially the money of 'unowned'!

According to Sun Shaozong's secret surveillance for several days, Fu Shi was really interested in the ownerless property of the Ma family. Taking advantage of his position, he swallowed up a lot of the Ma family's property before Ma Yingjue and his son finished their first seven days.

Since he can't control his greed, he can't blame Sun Shaozong for being behind.

It's just that Cheng Rixing's trip took a lot more effort than expected, and when he led Fu Shi back, it was already half an hour later.

Especially the obvious alienation on Fu Shi's face, not at all like the affectionate face when he asked for something.

After entering the door, he cupped his hands even more, and asked stiffly, "Master Zhizhong summoned the officials to come, but what official duties do you want to entrust?"

Opening his mouth to lead to official matters first, it was originally Sun Shaozong's rotten trick, so he naturally knew that he couldn't follow his rhythm, so he looked at Fu Shi in pretended surprise, and wondered, "Could it be that Fu Tong judge has something to worry about? How can you be so serious, so different from the face you had in Ma's house that day?"

Hearing Sun Shaozong mentioning the Ma family, Fu Shi rolled up his sleeves a little uncomfortable, then sneered and said, "Your Excellency is wrong, the next official is not only not troublesome, but on the contrary, I feel at ease—I just talked to Mr. Fu Cheng The business tax has been adjusted, and it has increased by [-]% compared to last spring!"

He stretched out two fingers, shook them, and pinched seven in an exaggerated manner, the satisfaction was beyond words.

However, a year-on-year increase of 20.00%[-] is indeed an achievement to be proud of—especially this achievement was made quietly without damaging the prosperity of the market.

Of course, this is mainly due to Jia Yucun's contribution, and Fu Shi was just following in the beating - and it was precisely because he hoped to share some of the credit from Jia Yucun that he deliberately alienated Sun Shaozong today.

"This is really a great achievement."

Sun Shaozong praised, "Especially the imperial court's finances have been tight in recent years, and they have paid more and more attention to the harvest of this business tax. I think that after the money is handed over to the Ministry of Households, the imperial court will definitely reward it greatly."

Seeing that Fu Shi's face became more smug, Sun Shaozong suddenly changed the subject, "But the most rare thing is that Fu Tongpan supported the industrial and commercial enterprises in the city, and at the same time did not forget to buy land outside the city. Delay is really a role model for my generation."

Fu Shi's smug smile suddenly froze!

Immediately, he stared round the two triangular eyes, opened his mouth and asked, "How dare you send someone to investigate..."

"Master Fu!"

However, Sun Shaozong immediately raised his voice, interrupted his questioning, and then calmly pointed to the grand teacher's chair beside him, and said, "How about we sit down and talk?"

Fu Shi, with a swollen face like a pig's liver, panted heavily and looked at Sun Shaozong for a while, then gritted his teeth and slammed his butt on the chair, saying angrily, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let the fart go quickly!" !"

Now that the situation has the upper hand, Sun Shaozong naturally doesn't care about his words.

First he sat down on the main seat in a leisurely manner, and then pretended to take a few sips of tea, until Fu Shiji's eyes were about to burst into flames, then he put down the teacup and said with a slight smile, "I invited Fu Tongpan here, but it's not for Nothing else, but something to ask for."

Fu Shi glared angrily, and squeezed out a word between his teeth after a while, "Speak!"

I heard Sun Shaozong say, "Actually, those distant nephews of mine have gained fame and wanted to settle down in the capital."

"Fu Tongpan has a lot of friends on weekdays, so I would like to ask you to pay attention to see if there is a suitable secondary courtyard that can be moved in as soon as possible. The location should not be too far away. If it is in the northwest of the inner city..."

He was talking about house purchase indicators here, but Fu Shi became more and more confused the more he listened to it--wasted so much effort to grab his handle, so that he could help him to pay attention to the house?

This is too absurd, isn't it?

If he directly asked himself to have two houses, Fu Shi thought it would be more reliable!

So Fu Shi couldn't help questioning, "You...what do you mean?"

"how?"

Sun Shaozong asked suspiciously, "Am I not clear enough? Or is Fu Tongpan not even willing to help with this little favor?"

"I……"

Fu Shi stared at Sun Shaozong, as if he could see what intentions he was playing, but how could he see through Sun Shaozong's calm and composed face?

Besides, paying attention to the house is really not a big deal, especially if it is just paying attention, and I didn't say that I must help find the house-at most, I should answer in person, and just work behind the scenes.

Thinking this way, Fu Shi nodded and said, "If it's just such a trivial matter, I will naturally not refuse!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but asked again, "Apart from this, is there anything else?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Fu Shi hurried away with relief.

And Sun Shaozong didn't show a sneer until he saw him out of the gate of the Criminal Division.

Although Fu Shi's embezzlement of Ma's property can be regarded as a clue, if you want to use it as a basis to coerce him to completely abandon Jia Yucun and become Sun Shaozong's lackey, it may be a lot of weight.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong planned to follow the method of boiling a frog in warm water, first arrange some irrelevant things for him, and then proceed step by step...

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~!

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of drumming in front of him, and the smile on Sun Shaozong's mouth suddenly collapsed.

Since he was promoted to Zhizhong, the drums of grievances in this government have been sounded frequently - if it is a major case, let it go, but most of them are civil disputes, which is really tiresome.

But since someone is beating drums to complain about grievances, how can they ignore it?

Hey~

He sighed, and raised his voice to order, "Master Cheng, go and gather all the people, and prepare to be promoted to the court for questioning!"
