Detective in the Red Chamber

Sun Shaozong stopped immediately, stared at the maid who was leading the way sideways, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

If this servant girl is someone next to the Crown Princess, and she is leading the way, it stands to reason that no one should stop her, but the two servant girls on the opposite side not only want to step forward to stop her, but also have a lot of intention to be wary of her.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was not moving forward, the plump and healthy servant girl also stopped her steps, but she didn't explain anything, she just straightened her body and stood with her hands down.

Sure enough, there are tricks!

When Sun Shaozong saw this, he raised his voice and asked again, to show that he and this court lady were not on the same side, and if something went wrong, he could get rid of the relationship in time.

"I asked her to find you."

At this moment, the Xiang curtain of the main room was lifted, and a tall slender woman stepped out from inside. She was dignified and glamorous, and her glamor was wrapped in a group of unyielding heroism, but it was the capital city. The famous 'shrew', Princess Wei of Beijing!

After Wei Shi stepped out of the living room, he came to Sun Shaozong without any hesitation, and said seriously, "I tried to find you several times but I couldn't get a chance. Now I just happened to bump into you at the Prince's Mansion. I really don't want to miss you, so I sent someone halfway to invite you." come here."

After saying that, he turned his head and said to the concubine who was chasing after him, "The concubine makes her own opinions. If she causes any trouble to the empress, the empress will punish the concubine, and the concubine will never complain."

Sun Shaozong and this Wei family only met three times in total, and the first two times they broke up unhappy, and they were far from familiar enough to be commensurate with "you, me, and me".

But Wei Shi said it casually, but it was full of arrogance, giving people the illusion of taking it for granted.

The Crown Princess nodded slightly to Sun Shaozong to express her apology and reassurance, and then she smiled and said, "What did my sister say? What kind of punishment are you and my sister talking about? It's just that Mr. Sun is here, His Highness..."

"I have but a few words to say to him, and it shall not be long!"

Before the concubine could finish speaking, Wei resolutely pushed her down, leaving her speechless.

"Princess, please forgive me."

At this time, Sun Shaozong cupped his hands neither humble nor overbearing, "The lower official was summoned by His Royal Highness, how dare you let the king be on the throne for a long time?"

"I said, there won't be a long delay!"

Wei Shi said, and suddenly said to the crown princess in an arrogant manner, "I also ask you to stay away for a while, and let me have a few words with him alone!"

This is even more impolite.

But the more she made it clear that she was unreasonable, the harder it was for the Crown Princess to refuse, she frowned for a long while in embarrassment, but finally stepped aside and walked out of the way to the living room.

Nawei turned his head and gave Sun Shaozong a glance, then went straight to the hall.

Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, Sun Shaozong said behind him, "If the princess can guarantee that she will never mention the matter of Wei Tong's judgment, the officials will be reluctant to do so—if you can't avoid this matter, forgive me for not dared to enter."

Originally, the presence of the crown prince should have been enough to save Wei Ruolan's life, but the death of the old Fengjun of Zhen Guo Mansion suddenly made the case a hot potato.

Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is holding back an evil fire in her heart. Who would dare to bend the law for the sake of the person who killed the son of the Niu family at this time?

At this time, when Wei went to Sun Shaozong, he was probably desperate, and wanted to use his "divine judgment" ability to find out the so-called behind-the-scenes truth.

However, on the cusp of this storm, how could it be possible for Sun Shaozong to engage in the trick of taking chestnuts from the fire for the sake of a former opponent?

Therefore, at the very beginning, Wei Shi's hopes were directly extinguished.

"you!"

Wei Shi suddenly turned his head and glared at Sun Shaozong, his pretty eyes were full of hostility, the breasts of the princess, who were originally a little smaller, also began to swell violently, pushing the palace skirt up and down one after another.

Facing the murderous gaze, Sun Shaozong still bowed neither humble nor overbearing, "Since the princess does not want to avoid this matter, then I can only be disrespectful."

Saying that, he saluted the princess again, took a few steps back, turned around and walked away.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he heard Wei shouting angrily inside, "Your surname is Sun, if something happens to Lan Geer in the future, I will never forgive you!"

hehe~

Sun Shaozong sneered twice in his heart, and walked towards the flower hall indifferently.

In the past, when Wang Shuirong of Beijing was in full power, Sun Shaozong might still be afraid.

However, since the blow to the Niu family's defection, King Beijing's influence in the court has been greatly reduced.

In this turmoil, Sun Shaozong won the attention of Emperor Guangde and the prince. Although he is not enough to fight against King Beijing at the moment, there is no problem in protecting himself.

But he said that Wei Shi's threat was forgotten, Sun Shaozong arrived at the door of the flower hall, and was waiting to announce his name, but the prince snatched it out early, and sneered several times with a sullen face.

Sun Shaozong only thought that he was angry because he applied to go to Huguang without permission.

Just thinking about how to explain it, the prince said in a vicious voice under his throat, "This lowly servant girl really doesn't know how to live or die, and dare to speak wild words to threaten Ai Qing in the Gufu—after Gu ascends the throne, she will definitely be used as a pawn." Join the Jiaofang Division and be a whore with thousands of people riding thousands of people!"

Sun Shaozong was speechless immediately, he was worried about his feelings for nothing, he didn't know what he said in the palace at all, otherwise he wouldn't have the leisurely mind to target Wei Shi right now.

"how?"

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was silent after listening to his words, the crown prince rolled his eyes, suddenly laughed and said, "Aiqing is a sympathetic, that's all, I will give you this lowly maidservant to be a concubine at that time."

Sun Shaozong "..."

This guy really can make up his mind, and he obviously didn't think about it-well, it's quite exciting to think about it!

Chapter 544 Jade in the Furnace

Zhou's backyard.

Facing the fire scene, there was a grand master's chair lifted from nowhere, Qiu Yunfei sat on it with a sullen face, and the four families behind him lined up with their hands on their waists, knives and wild goose wings, in an indescribably serious manner.

Forced by this domineering momentum, all the yamen servants at the survey site were terrified, not to mention shouting and shouting as usual, they didn't even dare to breathe, and they even handled them with care when searching for clues.

This weird investigation work continued from morning to noon, and the place where there might be clues in the fire scene has basically been turned over—even a few burnt piano scores were called to the luthier to read carefully , to make sure there is nothing hidden in it.

But it was so meticulous, and continued to investigate for more than two hours, but still found nothing.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, even with the four great king vajras in charge, the patience of the guards had already worn off completely—the one who was doing foreign work, the one who was whispering, and the two squad leaders simply went to Zhao Wuwei to talk about it.

Zhao Wuwei couldn't get rid of his sympathy, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get out of the fire scene, bowing his knees in front of Qiu Yunfei and saying, "Ya Nei, you see that everything that should be investigated..."

"Continue to check."

Before Zhao Wuwei finished speaking, Qiu Yunfei pushed back, but considering Zhao Wuwei's back and forth in recent days, it's hard not to give him any sympathy.

Therefore, Qiu Yunfei added, "You can also see the location of this study room. It is in the most remote corner of the yard. No matter whether it is from the front door or the back door, it is not as close as the main room. If there is no special reason, why did the thief choose to come here?" If you want to let go of the near and seek the far, do you have to choose to set fire here?"

"Perhaps those two maids are cleaning and tidying up in the study..."

"impossible."

Qiu Yunfei shook his head and said, "Yesterday, I checked with Mr. Sun, and there were traces of half-cleaning in the living room of the main room—and according to Mr. Sun's judgment, two people were cleaning with different tools at that time."

"So there must be something in this study that the murderer wants to destroy!"

Even so, [-]% of that thing has already been burned!

It's a pity that Zhao Wuwei only dared to say these words in his heart, and didn't dare to argue hard in front of Qiu Yunfei.

He was waiting to return to the scene of the fire, and asked his brothers to cheer up again, at least to deal with the unknown fire in the small yamen today, and then talk about it.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn around, he heard Qiu Yunfei order, "Qiu Yi, go to a nearby restaurant to buy some food and drink, and let the big guy fill his stomach first."

As he said that, Qiu Yunfei turned up the volume, and promised everyone, "As long as you guys are willing to work hard today, no matter whether you can find any clues in the end, I will be my host tonight, and please go to Baihualou to have a good time!"

This promise is much more effective than Zhao Wuwei's empty words.

Before the words fell, everyone agreed in unison.

It's just that amidst the cheers, there was a disharmonious voice—that Qiu Yi cupped his hands, and said expressionlessly, "The Taiwei has an order, let me wait for a while without leaving the Yamen."

The reason why Qiu Yunfei is depressed today is that he had a disagreement with his own father, and now he is annoyed when he hears that Qiu Yi is using his own father's order to oppress others.

Standing up straight for a while, there were some ferocious wrinkles on the chubby face, and he asked word by word, "Did my father ever tell you to let you embarrass me in public?!"

Without further ado, Qiu Yi immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Qiu Yunfei, only to hear a clatter of armor leaves, but it turned out that the four famous generals were all lined with soft armor under the large outer robes.

"Qiu Yi has nothing to say, and he is willing to be punished by the yamen - but the duty lies, even if the villain dies, he will not dare to take half a step."

These words that Qiu Yi said were completely speechless, and the three generals who came with him didn't even show an expression.

If it was in the past, facing these dead faces, Qiu Yunfei would have kicked them earlier. However, after half a year of experience, he has improved a bit after all. He glared at Qiu Yi with gritted teeth, but resisted not doing anything. .

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to forgive Qiu Yi.

Fortunately, there was Zhao Wuwei at the side. Seeing Qiu Yunfei froze there, he didn't know how to end the situation, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Don't be annoyed at the yamen, why do you need to work on some trivial matters, this general? I'll send someone to buy some food." Just come back."

As he spoke, he turned around and greeted, "Big Li, Zhang Ernuo!"

The guards in the fire scene were also paying attention to the movement here. At this time, Zhao Butou nodded, and hurriedly left their work at hand and trotted over.

It's just that Zhang Ernuo ran two steps forward, but stopped suspiciously, looked back at the incense burner he had just thrown in the corner, and turned around and turned back.

"Zhang Ernao!"

Zhao Wuwei yelled again, seeing that Zhang Ernuo ignored him, he just held the incense burner and looked at it carefully, his heart couldn't help but move.

Waiting to go over to see what happened, Qiu Yunfei strode up to him and asked, "Why, what mechanism does this incense burner have?"

"If you go back to the yamen."

Seeing that it was Qiu Yunfei who came in person, Zhang Ernuo hurriedly bowed and said, "I just threw it away, but I heard a crisp sound coming from inside, as if something was hidden."

Hearing this, Qiu Yunfei was even more excited. He took a few glances at the copper censer from the bottom, and saw that the incense ash inside had been emptied, and there was nothing in it.

But if you look closely, the bottom of the incense burner is abnormally thick.

Qiu Yunfei raised it to his ear, shook it vigorously a few times, and found that there was indeed something hidden inside.

I just don't know if it's poured inside, or if there's some mechanism that can open it.

As he was looking back and forth, Qiu Yi took the initiative to step forward and said, "The yamen might as well hand over this thing to the villain."

"Do you know how to open it?"

Suspiciously, Qiu Yunfei handed the incense burner to Qiu Yi, but he saw that Qiu Yi turned his head and walked out of the fire scene, without stopping for a moment, and continued to walk outside the courtyard.

"What do you want to do?!"

Although Qiu Yunfei didn't think there would be any problems with the home sent by his father, he still couldn't help but want to catch up.

However, the rest of the generals blocked Qiu Yunfei with all their brains, and the leader persuaded, "I don't know if there are any organs that hurt people in this incense burner. Please stay safe in the yamen and just leave it to Qiu Yi to deal with it." .”

Only then did Qiu Yunfei feel relieved. He watched Qiu Yi disappear outside the courtyard wall, and looked around for a long while before seeing him holding out the incense burner that was divided into two parts.

"what is inside?!"

Qiu Yunfei hurriedly went up to take a closer look, but he saw that there were many fine powders in the interlayer of the incense burner, which looked like incense ash, but the color was thicker and darker.

Qiu Yunfei subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to pick up some powder, so as to verify what it was, but unexpectedly, his fingertips touched a piece of something.

"what?"

Qiu Yunfei squeezed the thing out of the incense burner, and shook off the black powder on it, only to find that it was actually a piece of jade the size of a sparrow egg, and there seemed to be some words engraved on it, but most of it was covered with black ash. I can't see clearly for a while.

"Go fetch some water!"

As soon as Qiu Yunfei gave an order, a yamen servant brought a bucket of well water over.

He scrubbed and cleaned the jade himself, held it in his hands and said word by word, "Firstly, heal evil spirits, secondly, heal injustice, thirdly, know misfortunes and blessings... It's strange, why does he seem to have seen this thing somewhere?"

After reading these twelve words, Qiu Yunfei frowned unconsciously, just pondered for a while, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before, and remembered that there were some words engraved on the back of the jade, so he hurriedly turned it over. Look.

But I saw that the back was engraved with psychic gems, never lose and never forget, immortal life and constant prosperity.

A psychic gem?

Seeing these four words, Qiu Yunfei's thoughts flashed, and a baby face popped out of his mind!

This week is always out of shape, next week I will start working hard↖↗

Chapter 545 Three None

call~

Reining in the reins in front of the Prince's Mansion, Qiu Yunfei just rolled over and dismounted, when Qiu Yi next to him carefully delivered the package with three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Why, you guys won't go in with me?"

Qiu Yunfei gave him a sideways look, and instead of unpacking the package, he sneered and said, "Didn't you just say what your responsibility is before, and dare not take half a step back even if you die?"

Qiu Yi held up the package containing the incense burner, and said dumbly, "The prince's mansion is heavily guarded, and Mr. Sun is inside, so I think it will be able to protect the government well."

Pooh!

After all, it's not because he's afraid of provoking the prince!

Of course, they didn't mean to spare their lives, they were just afraid of causing trouble to their father.

Although Qiu Yunfei knew this well, he still cast two contemptuous glances, then snatched the incense burner away, and strode to the corner gate.
