Detective in the Red Chamber

While talking, Wei Ruolan came in from the outside and said softly in front of Miaoyu, "Ms. Miaoyu has already done enough for the nuns in Shuiyue Nunnery, why don't you just let them return to ashes and ashes?" , to be quiet and at ease?"

But Miaoyu stared at him blankly for a long while, and then she really let out a sigh of relief, pronouncing the name of Buddha and going out on her own.

Chapter 435 The Spirit of the Rule of Law

Looking at the back of Miaoyu gradually going away, Sun Shaozong felt itchy for a while.

Others didn't know what to do, but he knew that Miaoyu would never give up stopping the act of burning the house arrest just because of a few words of persuasion—judging from her relieved expression, Wei Ruolan had probably secretly set the house on fire. The child was sent out of house arrest!

Although it is still uncertain whether it was Miaoyu who begged Wei Ruolan for help, or Wei Ruolan found out what she was doing and therefore took the initiative to assist Miaoyu to save the child.

But right now...

This is really a good opportunity to solve Wei Ruolan!

As long as the 'emergency filing' is activated, he will be charged with deceiving the emperor in minutes!

At that time, even if the Wei family cannot lose power, at least it will not be a problem to push him out of the criminal justice department.

but……

After all, Sun Shaozong still failed to break through the bottom line, and just watched Miaoyu leave the gate of the house arrest - of course, being able to have such an idea is enough to prove that he is getting more and more bottom line.

Could it be that the relationship with Jia Yucun has improved recently, so he was infected by Ya again?

"grown ups!"

Just when he was about to turn his eyes away from the courtyard gate, he saw a lot of yamen servants pouring in like a swarm from the outside, and the leaders were Qiu Yunfei and Lin Delu.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qiu Yunfei yelled, "You really expected it. Sure enough, some lunatics wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, and I brought someone to take it on the spot..."

While speaking, he discovered that there were quite a few dragon guards standing in the courtyard. He was a little puzzled, and Sun Shaozong had already greeted him, and ordered loudly, "Governor Lin, immediately call all the people around you outside—remember to let them Bring the family bucket."

Qiu and Lin were stunned again. Didn't they say they wanted to stop the people from approaching?How could it take a blink of an eye to call people over again?

Just listen to Sun Shaozong explaining, "The evil mother and son have passed away now, but the eminent monk of Fayuan Temple said that this place is infected with evil spirits. How can Mu Shou leave hidden dangers here?"

"Therefore, I decided to follow Master Jie Nian's suggestion to burn this house arrest together with the monstrous and prostitutes, so as not to cause harm to the surrounding people!"

"The expenses required for the reconstruction of the house under house arrest after the incident were all allocated from the rewards and bonuses accumulated by the Criminal Department. Never waste a penny of state capital and public money, or a little bit of people's fat!"

"And the official asked you to invite the people in the vicinity. Firstly, I want to invite the folks and elders to be a witness; secondly, I want to avoid any accidents caused by carelessness."

This remark made Jing Nian and Chu Liang, who heard it straight away, very annoyed - they proposed to burn the yard to save Sun Shaozong's face.

But this place of house arrest is really where Sun Shaozong is in charge, so although the two of them were annoyed, they couldn't think of a suitable reason to question and refute these words.

Just as he was depressed, Lin Delu already knew what he was hearing, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Excellency is indeed a gentleman who loves the people like a son! I will definitely tell the people nearby."

As he said that, he took people out of the house arrest in a hurry, and went around to publicize Sun Shaozong's sentiment of loving the people like a son.

After Lin Delu and others left, Sun Shaozong asked Zhou Da to take the rest of his staff to escort Jie An and others back to the Yamen for trial.

When everyone was almost gone, he turned around and said with a smile, "I'm on official business, so it's really inconvenient to stay here for a long time. If you two have any orders, you might as well give them to Wei Tong for judgment."

After saying that, he went out of the house arrest on his own - although he didn't take the opportunity to bite Wei Ruolan back, but he was not interested in staying and helping Wei Ruolan clean up the mess together.

But he mentioned the place of house arrest. Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Shaozong was hesitating whether to call Sun Chengye to go back home, but a crisp voice came from the corner, "Sir, please stay."

Looking at the reputation, who else could it be if it wasn't Miaoyu?

I saw her standing gracefully in front of the carriage, although she was wearing a borrowed coarse cloth, it was hard to hide her proud demeanor.

Even though Sun Shaozong had no interest in this fake nun, at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little 'a beautiful woman, why is she a nun', and at the same time raised his voice and asked, "Master Miaoyu is waiting for Lord Wei?"

Who knows that Miaoyu saw that he didn't come forward, so she walked over quickly, bowed her knees and gave a deep salute, and said respectfully, "Miaoyu didn't know about the compassionate heart of adults before, and there were many conflicts, please forgive me, Lord Haihan. "

If she knew what she was planning just now, the ceremony would probably turn into spitting all over her face, right?

Sun Shaozong thought rather self-deprecatingly, but there was no false color on his face, and he said with a straight face, "Master Miaoyu is too absurd. Since I guard one side for the imperial court, I naturally have to think about the people under my rule. What's the pity of falling into a mere house arrest?"

These words and Miaoyu's thoughts are naturally not right.

However, although Miaoyu is an idiot, she is not a fool. After pondering for a while, she understood Sun Shaozong's caution, so she smiled apologetically and whispered, "Miaoyu is reckless. Please rest assured, my lord. I will strictly abide by the law and not pass it on. ear rules."

After a pause, she said seriously, "Even if Mr. Wei asks, I will never recognize you!"

Sun Shaozong really didn't care, what she said to Wei Ruolan, on the contrary, he was a little curious about what she was thinking when she ventured over the wall to get in.

Therefore, with a sullen face, he asked in a low voice, "When you came in over the wall and replaced the baby, you should have seen the dragon guard at the door, right? Do you know that you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor just a little bit ago?!"

Miaoyu smiled slightly, and said calmly, "As long as you can live up to your heart, what's the problem with the crime of bullying the emperor?"

This answer...

It's really tight.

However, Sun Shaozong looked down on others the most, and pretended to be coercive in front of himself, so he asked again, "Then how can you be sure that this child is definitely not a monster who was born at the right time? If it hurts the people nearby, what should you do in the future?" How do I deal with myself?"

Sun Shaozong knew clearly that the child's teething knowledge was due to the absorption of too much calcium, which led to premature development-but how could Miaoyu, a fake nun who grew up in the temple, have such knowledge?

So Sun Shaozong was very curious before, how could she be sure that this child was not the reincarnation of some evildoer?

Unexpectedly, Miaoyu was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and then she said calmly, "Even if that child is really the reincarnation of a demon, before committing crimes, he was just one of the mortal beings. Karma, how about punishing him without teaching him?”

it is good……

What a lawful statement!

As a former grassroots criminal policeman, it stands to reason that Sun Shaozong should agree with it with both hands.

However, if it is really confirmed that the child is the reincarnation of a monster, he will probably chop him to death without saying a word - even though it hasn't done any evil yet, who knows if he will be among the people killed by him in the future? relatives and friends?

Chapter 436 The Beginning of Chaos

Because of the delay in talking with Miaoyu, Sun Shaozong returned to the Criminal Department, and the sky was already dark.

He was about to call Sun Chengye to go back home, but he got the news that Han Anbang and Jia Yucun had been called into the palace to discuss matters as early as an hour ago.

No wonder there was such a commotion in the house arrest, but no one from the government office came to inquire - since the governor and the minister are not at home, who would dare to intervene in the affairs of the 'Third Lords'?

Since he was going to the palace to discuss matters, he must have a purpose to convey when he comes back, so now it's not easy to leave the government office casually.

I asked Sun Chengye, and seeing that he didn't intend to go home first, Sun Shaozong sent someone home to report the news, and at the same time ordered the kitchen to prepare a standard meal of eight dishes and two soups, and set it up on the outside table for the two uncles and nephews Small talk over wine.

The two first speculated about the image of the solar eclipse on the political situation of the imperial court, but because there was no precedent to follow in this dynasty, they guessed for a long time but couldn't get the point.

So the conversation changed, and he talked about the private affairs around him.

The first thing to discuss is naturally Sun Chengtao's matter of letting go. Since there is no suitable vacancy in the Zhejiang area, we have to settle for the next best thing. At the boundary of Raozhou Prefecture at the junction of Jiangxi and Zhejiang, I found him a seventh-rank county magistrate. errands.

Secondly, the house purchased by Sun Chengye and Yu Qian has almost been renovated now. According to Sun Chengye, he plans to move there at the beginning of next month, so as to save the two uncles from always having trouble.

"I'm afraid something is wrong at the beginning of next month."

But Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, what's the matter with you moving out suddenly? Let's talk about it after the lively Mid-Autumn Festival."

Sun Chengye thought it was the same reason, so he followed Sun Shaozong's wishes and planned to postpone moving out until the end of August.

"correct."

Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered something again, picked up the wine pot, helped Sun Chengye fill up the wine glass, and asked, "I have been busy with Qiu Jue's review for a while, and I forgot about Ting Yi's apprenticeship, but I don't know what he is doing now. What do you think, should you accept it or not?"

Sun Chengye raised his buttocks and bowed his body until Sun Shaozong put down the jug, and then he sat down again and said, "We have to accept it, but since we met that day, Rongguo Mansion has never done anything, and Ting Yi just Ordered the Imperial Academy to edit and revise the seventh grade, it is not easy to rush to accept Xiande Concubine's nephew as an apprentice."

tsk~

This is the fault of Rongguo Mansion. Although it is not necessary to visit the thatched cottage to find a teacher for the child, but if this time he does not take the initiative to come to the door to ask for permission, Yu Qian will accept Jia Lan as his apprentice, and in the eyes of others, he will become a sycophant. ?

However, the Rongguo Mansion has been in troubled times recently. First, Baoyu provoked King Zhongshun, and then Jia Zheng fought openly and secretly with Mrs. Wang because he wanted to take Aunt Zhao outside, so no one cared about the orphans and widows 'Trivia', no surprise.

"How about this, I'll find an opportunity to discuss with Duke Cun Zhou and Jia Zheng, and try to finalize this matter before he leaves Beijing."

In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng was probably the only one who really valued Li Wan's mother and son. If he was released from Beijing, the matter would probably be dragged down.

The two were eating and chatting, when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps from far to near outside. Not long after, a small official came in to report that it was Han Fu Yin and Jia Fu Cheng who came back from the palace and summoned Sun Shaozong and the three Pass the judgment and discuss the matter.

On this big night, it is naturally impossible to go to the pavilion in the backyard for a meeting, so the meeting is routinely held in the inner hall.

When Sun Shaozong arrived at the Yamen Hall, he saw that Han Anbang and Jia Yucun had already made their first seats. Not only Fu Shi, Zhao Liben, Chen Zhichuang and others had already arrived, but even Wang Qian, the magistrate of Daxing County, and Xu Huaizhi, the magistrate of Wanping County, were also present.

"I have seen Mr. Fu Yin."

Sun Shaozong stepped forward to give a slight salute, and briefly explained that Wei Ruolan was supporting the envoy sent by the Supreme Emperor and had no time to get away. Just as Han Anbang signaled him to sit down on the right side of the case, Han Anbang raised his voice and said, "Everyone! , if a vision appears today and the hearts of the people are in turmoil, in this eventful autumn, you and I must work hard and be loyal, and live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Hearing his mention of "Your Majesty's Great Hope", Sun Shaozong hurriedly raised his buttocks again, bowed and sang "here" with the crowd.

When everyone was seated again, it was Jia Yucun's turn to speak. He didn't talk about those vain things, but said straight to the point, "In order to prevent lunatics from taking the opportunity to make trouble, the government and county government will increase Send people to patrol the streets day and night, and there must always be a chief officer sitting in the yamen."

"In view of the lack of patrols in our prefecture and county, the cabinet has approved a proposal to order the five city soldiers and horses to transfer some officers and soldiers from the city defense battalion and patrol battalion to help our Shuntian Prefecture maintain law and order in the capital."

Day and night patrolling, mobilizing officers and soldiers to assist, etc., it’s fine, after all, there have been precedents before—but the words 'committing chaos' are not easy to use!

Could it be that someone wants to take the opportunity to usurp the throne? !

This is too exaggerated, right?

You must know that Emperor Guangde has been on the throne for 11 years, and the imperial power in his hands has long been stable. Even if there is a Supreme Emperor restraining him, it cannot be shaken by a mere celestial phenomenon.

Or……

What else is hidden in this?

Sun Shaozong was speculating wildly here, when he saw Jia Yucun turn his head, cupped his hands through the public case, and said, "Wucheng soldiers and horses, I'm afraid I will trouble Mr. Sun to communicate and coordinate, so we must mobilize some stable and capable soldiers." Come here, so as not to make any mistakes that should not be made."

Now the son of the deputy commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division is working under Sun Shaozong's hands, so he is naturally the one to do this task.

Immediately afterwards, other people also led different tribes. In addition to maintaining the law and order of the capital, controlling public opinion is also the top priority.

However, it is not Shuntian Mansion's turn to be the first to take the lead in this regard - if there is no accident, Emperor Guangde will issue an edict of guilt in the past two days, and then declare amnesty for the world.

During the whole meeting, except for the unnutritious nonsense at the beginning, it was almost Jia Yucun who was directing the decision, and Han Anbang sat behind the case, like a clay-made wood plastic, and had no intention of competing with him at all.

From the looks of it, he probably already knew that his position as governor of the governor would not last long, so he simply gave up 'resistance'.

And when Jia Yucun completed the prevention and control tasks in detail, Sun Shaozong said, "My lord, since His Majesty wants to amnesty the world, what should we do with the list of Autumn Judgments in our mansion?"

Han Anbang curled his lips, and said stiffly, "You just ask Jia Fu Cheng."

This city...

It is estimated that when they get to the place, they may not be able to get anything good!

"The Autumn Judgment List?"

Jia Yucun frowned, and asked in surprise, "Didn't Master Sun send the list of Qiu Jue to the Ministry of Punishment in the morning?"

Sun Shaozong spread his hands, and said with a wry smile, "It was returned again, saying that our Shuntian Mansion has now been transferred to Zhili Province, and this list of autumn decisions should be submitted to the procurator's yamen."

After Jia Yucun heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Sun might as well suppress the list first. It's not easy for you to leave Beijing in the next few days. When the solar eclipse is over, if the court doesn't It is not too late for you to send the list to Jinmen Mansion after Mingfa decree requests to re-clear the prison case."

chapter 437

After discussing many details with Jia Yucun and others, it was already midnight when Sun Shaozong returned to the mansion.

He was thinking about spending the night in the study and rushing to Wucheng Bingmasi to second his troops in the morning, when he saw Zhao Zhongji rushing out like a night owl, and said respectfully, "Second Master, the uncle specially explained Excuse me, I want you to talk to him in the flower hall at the back when you come back."

It's such a time of day, Big Brother Cheap is still waiting for him to come back, he specified that he has something to discuss with him, and it probably has something to do with today's solar eclipse.

This is really a coincidence, Sun Shaozong was full of wild thoughts, and he was just looking for someone to confide in.

So he asked Zhao Zhongji for a lantern, and rushed to the flower hall in the northwest corner of the backyard alone.

This is the place where Sun Shaozu placed those aunts. Along the way, he saw a bright red lantern hung high above the door of the wing rooms on both sides, only a few of the two wing rooms were pitch-black, with no light at all.

According to Sun Shaozu's rules, if he hasn't rested in the mansion, more than a dozen aunts will also stay up all night, except for menstruation and high exemption cards.

It is estimated that tonight, some of these dozen or so women will suffer again.

Less gossip.

But when he said that he stepped into the flower hall, Sun Shaozong couldn't help being stunned, because the hall was densely packed with large wooden boxes, a rough count, at least thirty or so.

At this time, Big Brother Cheap had a solemn face, sitting on a box in the middle, seeing Sun Shaozong coming in, he didn't speak, but just raised his hand and threw a copper key over.

The key seemed to be used to open these wooden boxes.

Sun Shaozong was also curious about what was inside, so after catching the key, he chose the outermost box, unscrewed the lock, and lifted the lid of the box, but only saw an ingot of silver ingots. Neatly arranged in the box.

Sun Shaozong picked up one and turned it upside down. It should be the standard 50 taels of official silver, and the box is divided into upper and lower layers, with about forty ingots placed, which should be 2000 taels of silver per box.

Then in this room, isn't there six to seventy thousand taels of white money?
