Chapter 915 So Many Tricks (Part 1)
Sun Shaozong was disappointed.
He gained nothing in the camp that night.
Not only that, subsequent attempts to confirm the case also ended in failure.
He first reviewed in detail several cases awaiting trial in the Dali Temple - even including the case of the Jurchen Alinqitu - but found nothing unusual.
Later, through Qiu Yunfei's relationship, he reviewed the files of Shuntian Prefecture and even the two counties under its jurisdiction, Daxing and Wanping, but also did not find anything suspicious.
Now Sun Shaozong had no direction for his investigation.
Busy times always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Because he had to go to Prince Beijing's mansion for a banquet at noon that day, Sun Shaozong checked in at the yamen early in the morning, and before 10:00 a.m., he went out of the east corner gate of the Dali Temple.
No conversation along the way.
When we arrived at Prince Beijing's Mansion, we saw that there was a lot of traffic inside and outside the wide-open gate.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that there are not many noble officials with real background and rank.
The number of people who can openly suppress Sun Shaozong is probably less than five.
The most honorable among them was Zhao Rongheng, the Right Censor-in-Chief, who was suspected to be the biological father of Prince Beijing.
When Sun Shaozong, the suspected father arrived, he was surrounded by several officials of the fifth or sixth rank. There were countless officials around him who were observing his words and expressions and trying to squeeze into the circle.
At first glance, Zhao Rongheng seemed to be the focus of the entire banquet. Even Prince Beijing Shui Rong himself was slightly inferior to him.
This was not surprising. After all, just a few days ago, the Left Censor-in-Chief Lin Qisheng had just retired and returned to his hometown. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhao Rongheng, the second-in-command, would soon reach the top of the Censorate.
but……
Considering that Xu Fu-ren, who was highly anticipated, was very likely to not be able to enter the cabinet, according to Sun Shaozong, it would not be easy for Zhao Rongheng to successfully take over as the Left Censor-in-Chief.
Of course, the matter of Lord Xu is still internal information at the moment, and these middle and low-level officials who have no connections naturally have no way of knowing it.
However, Zhao Rongheng himself has probably already realized it.
So when Sun Shaozong pretended to wish him a smooth transition to the post of Left Censor-in-Chief, he just responded with a wry smile and said: It's the time and the fate, it can't be forced.
"Lord Sun."
Just as he was exchanging witticisms with Zhao Rongheng, he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Wei Ruolan, who had regained 70% of her original appearance.
However, he obviously did not come to greet Sun Shaozong specifically. He looked around with a confused look on his face.
Sun Shaozong asked curiously, "Brother Wei, what are you looking for?"
"Looking for my eldest brother."
Wei Ruolan frowned and said, "He clearly came here first. I looked everywhere but couldn't find any trace of him."
Wei Rushong is missing?
Could it be that he has been killed by someone?
Sun Shaozong, who was in a sensitive period, was moved. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard hearty laughter coming from the door of the hall. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw that the person interacting with several generals was Wei Rushong. Who else could it be but Wei Rushong?
Tsk~
It seems that I was overthinking it.
Just now I thought that Wei Ruolan couldn't help but take action against her half-brother because of the frame-up she suffered in the past.
But there is nothing we can do about it. The sudden appearance of the black note is like a sword hanging over one's head. It would be fine if it really fell down, but the fact that it is always in suspense makes people feel uneasy.
Around noon, the banquet officially began, but regrettably, Princess Beijing did not show up until the end of the banquet.
But it's okay this way.
If we really bump into each other in front of so many people, who can guarantee that no clues will be discovered?
If it really were to become known to the whole government and the public like what happened to Zhao Rongheng back then, it would be no joke.
…
Because he was a little drunk, Sun Shaozong left Prince Beijing's Mansion and did not return to the yamen to continue his official duties, but went straight home.
I originally wanted to take a nap in my own yard and then decide what to do next.
But when I got home, I couldn't sleep well.
I tossed and turned in bed, my mind full of speculations about the black post.
He didn't know how long it had been, but he suddenly felt a delicate body wrapping around him like a snake, and a small red tongue licking his earlobe: "Second Master, if you can't sleep, why don't you accompany me to have some fun?"
go?
Sun Shaozong hooked his hand around You Erjie's waist and scratched her through her clothes a few times, pretending to be suspicious and said, "You little bitch, are you trying to play some tricks again?"
"Hehehe... Come with me and you'll know."
You Erjie's brother laughed sweetly, broke free from the restraints with a weak body, turned over and got out of bed, and put two riding boots on Sun Shaozong's feet with his own hands.
Sun Shaozong had no idea what she was up to, and was too lazy to guess. He got up from the bed, and under the influence of alcohol, followed You Erjie and her servant out of the west wing like a puppet.
The three of them headed west and arrived near the treasury. Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking and people shouting could be heard.
Caixia seemed to have received instructions in advance, and she took the initiative to step forward and say a few words to the guards, who then left with their dogs.
Sun Shaozong had already understood something and was about to tease You Erjie, but she bowed first and said, "Please wait here for a while, Master. I will go in and get ready first."
As he said that, he took out the key borrowed from Ruan Rong and went into the warehouse with Caixia.
Since Sun Shaozong had already roughly guessed what tricks she was up to, he naturally let her take charge.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour , Caixia came out with a blushing face and said that her aunt was ready and asked Sun Shaozong to come in and talk.
It was said that he had expected it, but when he entered the door and looked up, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be stunned.
All I saw was a silver glittering area in the middle of the treasury, and standing there was a fortress built with countless silver ingots!
Crash~
As I was watching in amazement, suddenly, the front wall of the fortress collapsed, and countless silver ingots collided and bounced, like mercury pouring on the ground, sweeping across half of the warehouse!
When everything returned to peace, Sun Shaozong noticed that in the center of the remaining three silver walls, there were countless precious furs.
And the top layer is a huge bear skin.
Just as Sun Shaozong looked over, the bear skin slowly "peeled off", revealing You Erjie's curvy figure.
But she was naked except for a bright red fox skin around her waist. Her furry tail was swinging behind her hips, and against her delicate body as soft as snow, she looked indescribably charming and playful.
This woman, how come she has so many tricks!
…
Although the heavy door had blocked out all sounds, it could not block Caixia's fantastic thoughts. Her soul was wandering in the sky for a moment and she didn't even know what day it was.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
It was not until a familiar voice reached Caixia's ears that she suddenly woke up and blurted out, "Second Madam? Why...why are you here?!"
