Happy reading, Detectives!
“Thank you very much, Master! Thank you very much.”
Seeing Siqi kowtow like pounding garlic, Sun Shaozong felt quite speechless in his heart.
Sun Shaozu's thoughts couldn't be concealed from him. He just wanted to give kindness to Jia Yingchun's close servant first and then start the tactic of ”borrowing body for birth” in the future, so that it would be easier.
It was really exhausting to have a son…
However, it was impossible to say how well it was done, so Sun Shaozong could only stand up with a bitter smile and ask, "Brother, why did you come back so early?”
“Don't mention it.”
Sun Shaozu walked over to him and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea, cursing, "Today when I arrived at the camp, the story of you killing the third-grade official with one to a hundred enemies in the Jinmen Mansion has been widely rumored, and everyone else is praising it. Only that b*stard, surnamed Wei, jumped out and sprayed feces.”
“He still said no matter what job you do, you will definitely cause trouble. Whether you are a lucky star or a disaster, it’s hard to say.”
“I had a verbal fight against that dog at that time, and then I didn't want to stay in the camp for a long time, so I just came home.”
A lucky star? Disaster?
Not to mention, he hasn't paid much attention before. Now, hearing this, Sun Shaozong really felt that his recent luck was a bit strange.
If it was about investigating cases normally, it was his job. However, the last time he went to the river government to fight the floods, a group of officials died suddenly. This time, he went to Jinmen Prefecture to celebrate the completion of the Governor General's Office, but as a result, there was another great auspicious event of annihilation!
When he was in the country of Qian Xiang, when he first crossed over, Ambassador Niu also died.
And the same year's gathering…
Was it true that he was possessed by ”Conan”?
“Erlang.”
Sun Shaozong was pondering ”metaphysics” when he heard his Big Brother probing over and whispered, “Help her to solve this case. I asked someone to inquire, and Jia Yingchun listened to her effectively. Even Jia Yingchun is a bit afraid of her.”
“As long as we can tame this little servant, the act in the future could ensure that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
It was exactly what he guessed!
To be honest, Sun Shaozong couldn't bring himself to investigate the case for such a ”purpose,” but since his Big Brother had spoken, he wouldn’t change his mind again.
So he sighed in secret and could only say, "Alright, I'll take on this case. First, let's talk about the deceased. Pan You'an, how is he doing in his daily life? Has he ever had any grudges against anyone? What is his relationship with you?”
Upon hearing the previous questions, Siqi opened her mouth and was about to answer, but upon hearing the last question, she hesitated again.
Just as she was about to speak, Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "If you want the real culprit to get away with justice, just lie. But if you want to avenge Pan You'an, it's best not to deceive me.”
Upon hearing this, Siqi gritted her teeth and said bluntly, "Reply to Your Excellency, I have already made a lifelong engagement with You’an. Yesterday evening, I had originally arranged for us to have a private meeting in another courtyard, and then we will run away together.”
To say that this woman was really a ”tiger,” generally speaking, even if she wanted to tell the truth, she could still use more tactful wording, and by the way, she could also say a few words to express that she was not sincere in eloping with someone.
But she…
Especially in front of the ”future male protagonist!”
These were not the end yet, Siqi continued. "When we arrived near the rockery in the northwest of the other courtyard, he was very affectionate. But when he heard that we were going to escape from Rongguo Mansion overnight, he hesitated and refused to agree."
“In a fit of anger, I said I wanted to cut off contact with him and never see him again in this life! Then I went back to the East Cross courtyard alone, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect to see him as a corpse again…”
He met with her before?”
Sun Shaozong's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Have you ever noticed that he…”
“How did he touch it?”
Before the question was finished, Sun Shaozu's eyes were shining brightly next to him.
After cutting off his conversation, he further pursued, "Where have you been touched?”
Oh gosh, this Big Brother was indeed…
Sun Shaozong was speechless and glared at him, and he said confidently, "Didn't you just ask what his personality and relationship with others were? I just want to help you figure out how that kid's temperament was.”
Temperament?
What was his purpose in knowing this?!
Sun Shaozong was about to instruct Siqi to ignore the bad taste of his Big Brother. However, Siqi replied solemnly, "He hasn't touched anything, he just rubbed my chest through my clothes like usual.”
Like usual?
She was truly the person who dared to force her lover to elope. She even dared to speak of such private matters to the public!
If she bumped into the owner, who was obsessed with cleanliness and reputation, and learned that the maid who was about to be married together had done such a thing with her lover, he was afraid he would have been furious.
But although his Big Brother was lascivious, he has always been more casual towards women than his clothes. Therefore, instead of being angry, he nodded with some approval and said, "This guy has some vision, your big breasts…”
Cough!
Seeing his Big Brother's words becoming increasingly unreliable, Sun Shaozong quickly coughed and said sternly, "Did you ever find him carrying silver or something of value with him yesterday?”
“Hmm…”
Just now, when asking for such matters, she could recall so easily. However, when it came to asking for serious details, Siqi needed help determining it. After carefully reviewing for a long time, she hesitated and said, "I haven't found any hard objects. If you really want me to identify anything valuable, I'm afraid it's only the rhinoceros horn trigger that the Second Master Lian rewarded.”
“Didn't you find any ”hard objects?””
This Little Brother Pan's body and bones were not very impressive.
Cough, cough, cough, cough!
He was almost taken to the ditch by his Big Brother, and now was not the time to contemplate these ”minor details.”
Sun Shaozong asked sternly again, "Does the rhinoceros horn trigger look very eye-catching?”
Siqi shook her head and said, "No, it was not. Although the texture of the trigger feels good, it looks like it is made of a piece of wood, but it looks gray.”
Sun Shaozong asked, "What is Pan You'an's daily life like? Has he ever had any grudges against others?”
“He was timid and has always been extremely kind to people! Not to mention who he has formed a grudge against.”
While Sun Shaozong was in the living room, he kept questioning Siqi about the case.
On the other side…
In the Forbidden City and the Imperial Library, the two brothers, Emperor Guangde and Prince Zhongshun, were also discussing topics related to him.
There was quite a mess in the Imperial case, and it was obvious that Emperor Guangde had become furious. Therefore, even Prince Zhongshun, who had always had no taboos, couldn't help but be a bit cautious at this time.
“Sixth Brother.”
Emperor Guangde's slightly emaciated body leaned back and leaned against the bright yellow cushion with a big airway, saying, "Forget about these b*stards. Tell me what should be done with Sun Shaozong?”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but furrow his brows and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Even if we only rely on the merit on the surface, he should receive a great reward. But this man is only in his early twenties now. If he really accelerates like a monkey, it won't be a good thing for him or the Court.”
Speaking of this, he bowed again and said, "I received some news a few days ago. It was said that several Sun family members who were rushing to take the exam from the south had arrived, and one of their nieces and sons-in-law had been favored by the Minister of Personnel, Minister Wang, and wanted to accept him as an internal disciple.”
Wang Zhe wanted to accept him as an internal disciple?
Emperor Guangde straightened up in surprise and said, "Is it still the niece and son-in-law of the Sun family?”
“Yes.”
Prince Zhongshun said, "That Wang Zhe is famous for his ability to recognize talents, otherwise, you wouldn't have appointed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Those who can be favored by him as successors must have outstanding qualities.”
As he spoke, he arched his hand and said, "I, congratulate Your Majesty on obtaining another talent.”
It was said to be congratulations, but neither of them had much joy on their faces.
Normally, the more talents who governed the country, the better. However, if these talents were all tied up with relatives, it always made it difficult for those in power to rest assured.
Especially since these two people were still so young…
Emperor Guangde stood up and paced back and forth a few steps before suddenly asking, "Did Sun Shaozong's beloved concubine just give birth to a son a while ago?”
“He was born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I even had someone give a monthsary gift.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangde raised his voice and said, "Prepare the edict to the Central Judicial Office, Sun Shaozong, who is loyal to the country and has repeatedly made remarkable achievements. He specially bestowed the title of ”'Seventh-grade Cavalry Captain” on his Eldest Son as a reward.”
