Detective in the Red Chamber

But at the beginning of Zhou Chang's speech, a few "sons and daughters are sick in bed" and "the old father is weak and can't be disturbed" suddenly appeared later.

The rest of the people also waved their flags and shouted, and for a while there was another clamor in front of the inner yamen hall.

However, just when Zhou Chang was proud, Yu Qian suddenly turned his head and whispered: "Zhou Chang's temperament has changed drastically, there must be something strange in it."

Sun Shaozong was waiting for his words!

Immediately he raised his voice and shouted: "You all have family members. Could it be that Lu Gejian who was poisoned to death and Wang Erhu who silenced him jumped out of the cracks in the rock?!"

"To be honest, the reason why I was in a hurry to ask the case today is to save Wang Erhu's six-year-old child!"

Having said that, he glanced around with raised eyebrows, and then said proudly: "I am indeed a guilty person, but as long as I can save this innocent child, I am willing to bear all the consequences, and I don't care who I will offend because of it! "

"Come on, seal the door!"

Following Sun Shaozong's order, several yamen servants immediately stepped forward, holding water and fire sticks, and blocked the gate of the courtyard tightly.

All the officials in the household department were in an uproar, but facing Sun Shaozong's murderous and domineering appearance, none of them dared to challenge him directly.

After all, everyone knows, let alone a dozen or so people in this courtyard, even if all the officials from the top and bottom of the household department are gathered together, it may not be enough for Sun Shaozong to bite his teeth.

The only exception is Zhou Chang who is higher than Sun Shaozong by virtue of his official position.

He pointed at Sun Shaozong and shouted angrily: "Sun Shaozong! What are you going to do? Is there any law left?! You are not afraid..."

"Of course I'm afraid!"

Sun Shaozong also responded ferociously: "But what Sun is afraid of is disappointing the expectations of the common people, and what he is afraid of being blamed by thousands of people! But he is not some people who take power like a child's life!"

"you……"

Zhou Chang's hands shook in anger, but Sun Shaozong didn't bother to argue with him any more, and without turning his head, he said, "Please wait a moment, my lords, I will go up to the court to ask questions when I am ready!"

With that said, he was about to return to the lobby.

But at this moment, a scribe with a happy face suddenly rushed over, opened his mouth and shouted: "My lord, I have identified it, already..."

"Shh!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly made a silent gesture, and could not help but drag the man into the lobby.

Yu Qian cupped his hands at the crowd, and then followed in.

And all the officials of the household department stared at each other, with a look of inquiry and suspicion in their eyes - the scribe just now looked like he had already found out the real evidence.

Could it be that the murderer is really among himself and others?

Not to mention, the whispers of the servants of the Dali Temple nearby provided more support for everyone's speculation.

"Hey, hey! Are you saying that this time the confession is the master, or the Qingke?"

"I think it's Qingke. The master is much closer, so he probably wouldn't let his master out so quickly."

Cleaner?

Master?

Some of the household officials were stunned, some were confused, but one of them was completely panicked. He moved to Zhou Chang's side and said in a panic, "My lord, this..."

Zhou Chang hurriedly signaled him to shut up with his eyes, then looked around for no one's attention, and then nodded cautiously: "Is your mother in good health?"

Then, he took something out of his sleeve and stuffed it quietly into the official's hand.

The official clenched the thing tremblingly, staring at Zhou Chang with both eyes, almost protruding from their sockets.

However, Zhou Chang was already turned around, and chatted with a certain Yuanwailang as if nothing happened.

Chapter 771

【First Update】

Not to mention how officials of the household department suspect each other outside.

However, after Sun Shaozong entered the inner yamen lobby, he walked around to the public case non-stop, and when he settled down on the high-back chair, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The ecstasy on Zhao Nan's face suddenly collapsed, and he looked behind him a few times to make sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, but he still felt that it was not safe enough.

So he took a few more steps forward, and then reported with a bitter face: "Returning to the master, the whore thought she recognized it, but she recognized two of them at once! Huang Catcher is still asking questions, but Seeing her confused appearance, I'm afraid I can't tell which one it is."

This was not beyond Sun Shaozong's expectation.

After Huang Bin showed the woman's confession and the portrait drawn based on her confession to Sun Shaozong, Sun Shaozong keenly discovered that there were only three things that were really clear and prominent on the confession and portrait: the Sifang Pingding Scarf, the Chinese character face, small eyes.

The first two are above the neck and have the largest 'volume'.

And when the lanterns are lit in the evening, the eyes will reflect the light, so it is easier to see clearly than other places.

In other words, the prostitute named Qiuyu didn't really see the other person's facial features clearly, but only vaguely remembered the most recognizable places.

And let’s not talk about hats, the latter two features are relatively common.

In view of this, Sun Shaozong was overjoyed that she could lock the suspects within two.

Could it be that these masters are all "skeletal surprises"?

"Which one of those two belong to?"

"Shen Chengzhuo, the head of the Shaanxi Qing Officials Department, Yang Kui was promoted by the Department of Affairs."

tsk~

A sixth-rank principal, a seventh-rank promotion, both positions are in the 'suspect' place.

Because the Shaanxi-Gansu area faced the threat of the iron cavalry outside the Great Wall, it had always been the most important expenditure of the Ministry of Households. If it was deducted casually, it would be enough for many people to earn a lot of money.

As for the promotion of the Secretary's Department, the authority is equivalent to that of the office director of later generations. Although the official position is two levels lower than that of the head of a province, the opportunities for making up and down are only a lot more than the former.

"You go and take Master Liu with you, and find out the situation of these two people—by the way, tell him that I will be promoted to the court for questioning in a quarter of an hour!"

However, Zhao Nan was a little puzzled after hearing this.

Ge Yin has been following Liu Xianglian to sort out the files and data these days, and he has long since discovered that although Mr. Liu has some talents, he has not experienced much experience and has deficiencies in all aspects.

As for the trial and judgment of cases, it is not the director Liu Xianglian.

Sending him over to inquire about the situation, but within a quarter of an hour, this... Isn't this difficult for a strong man?

But doubts are doubts, he knows that his status is not better than others, how dare he question Sun Shaozong's decision face to face?

Immediately, he respectfully responded, and under Sun Shaozong's signal, he went out the back door to look for Liu Xianglian.

As soon as I went out through the back door, I heard Liu Xianglian's scolding voice from the front: "Fake voice, do you understand with a fake voice? In short, the words must be clear, but the accent must be vague-try again, hurry up!"

Zhao Nan hurriedly followed the sound to find it, and saw Liu Xianglian leaning on the east railing with her arms around her shoulders, as if she was talking to someone.

But Zhao Nan never saw half a figure on the open space in front of him.

This is……

Are you entertaining yourself again?

If this matter were changed by other people, Zhao Nan might be suspicious, but when it comes to this Mr. Liu, he feels that it is very normal.

Because this Liu Xianglian is a senior fancier, as long as she has free time, she will often babble.

So Zhao Nan didn't care at all, and trotted towards Liu Xianglian.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran to the front, he heard a groaning voice under his feet:

"Ouch, my hand!"

Zhao Nan was startled by the bluff, and looked down, only to see a disheveled, blood-faced thing, also looking up and glaring at him!

This……

What is this?

At that time, Zhao Nan felt that his calf was twisted, and his head was full of legends about ghosts and ghosts.

And at this time, the person lying on the ground finally saw clearly who was coming, and his anger was reduced by half, and he begged embarrassingly: "Master Zhao, you... can you do it first?"

Listening to this, it doesn't look like a monster would say it.

Zhao Nan took half a step back in a daze, and before she could figure out what was going on, Liu Xianglian came up to her and asked, "What's the matter? But what's the order from Second Brother?"

Zhao Nan replied subconsciously: "The master ordered that Xianggong Liu go to the next door with the younger one to inquire about the news - it is said that he will be promoted to the hall for questioning in a quarter of an hour."

"What are you waiting for!"

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she kicked the man on the ground, urging: "Hurry up and get up, and go with the master... No, you don't look good like this, wait for me to get a hooded cloak , you cover it up before you speak!"

Saying that, Fei Ye went straight to the Zuosi official office, leaving only Zhao Nan and the bloody man, staring at the spot.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, in front of the lobby of the Inner Yamen.

As the initial shock gradually, the officials of the household department resumed the noise like a vegetable market again.

But this time there is no common hatred, instead they are somewhat alienated from each other—if it really involves the case of Lu Mingsi being poisoned, it must be the end of ten deaths, who would want to get involved at this juncture?

Even Zhou Chang, although his complexion was cloudy, did not take the initiative to provoke trouble again.

Seeing that the words of the people have lost their nutrition, and only awkward chats are left, a yamen servant finally walked out of the lobby, holding a knife on his waist and shouting loudly: "My lord has an order. It is said that Shen Chengzhuo, the head of the Shaanxi Qing Officials Department, will come to the hall for interrogation." !"

At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Shen Chengzhuo.

And Shen Chengzhuo was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and scolded, "It's really unreasonable. I have never had anything to do with Lu Gejian, so why would he poison him to death?!"

The yelling yamen servant was Huang Bin. Seeing Shen Chengzhuo's furious appearance, he immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Shen, please be calm and don't be impatient. According to the wishes of my Lord Shaoqing, everyone here has to ask again. The grown-ups are just at the front."

When Shen Chengzhuo heard this, although the shame and anger on his face subsided a little, he still showed dissatisfaction.

It's just that Sun Shaozong is not an unknown person, and just now he even made it clear that he would not even give Zhou Chang face, so what if he is a small sixth-rank master?

At the moment, he could only swallow his anger and entered the lobby.

When the rest of the people heard that they were about to go to court, they couldn't help complaining. Only the official holding the pill could not help but show joy.

Since they have to go to court one by one, doesn't it prove that Dali Temple has not yet grasped the real evidence?

Thinking in this way, he turned his attention to Zhou Chang again, wanting to wait for the opportunity to ask the other party's opinion.

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Chang noticed his gaze, he immediately closed his eyes and put on a posture that no one should enter.

Niang Xipi's!

He cursed a few times in his heart, and swore to himself that he would never be Zhou Chang's lackey again. Suddenly, the yamen servant came out again, and yelled: "Your Excellency has an order, and it is reported that the Siwu Office will promote Mr. Yang Kuiyang to come here." Tang asked!"

Yang Kui, who was holding the pill fiercely, trembled, and once again turned his gaze to Zhou Chang who was not far away.

But Zhou Chang was also looking at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Chapter 772 Questions

[There was a mistake in the previous chapter 770, and Zhao Nan’s role has been deleted again, and the part involving the master and Qingke has been deleted——Yang Kui didn’t know his master, and was taken to Dali Temple for interrogation— — If you want to see the deleted and modified content, just select the directory and download the chapter again. 】

Yang Kui couldn't remember at all how he walked into the lobby, and he didn't regain consciousness until facing Sun Shaozong's fierce gaze.

It's no wonder that he is timid, he is really the shadow of a famous tree, the title of 'Three-eyed God', which may be a bit of a joke in ordinary times, but at this time it is as heavy as a mountain In Yang Kui's heart.

And most importantly...

Regardless of ranking by official rank or age, No.2 should not be his turn, right?

Surely something must have been found?

Something must have been found, right?

A series of thoughts popped up, Yang Kui was so terrified that he could hardly stand still, and wanted to kneel down.

Fortunately, he finally managed to save some sense, knowing that if he kneeled at this time, it would be tantamount to calling himself out.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth, pretended to be calm, and walked to the center of the hall, bowing his hands in salute: "Your official Yang Kui, I have met Lord Shaoqing."

"Ah."

Sun Shaozong nodded arrogantly, and then waved his hand: "Let the criminals be identified in court!"

Before Yang Kui could react, the curtain of the back hall was lifted, and two yamen servants dragged out a tall man in ragged clothes, and threw him fiercely in front of Yang Kui.
