Chapter 927 It's so hard to break
The rooster crows at five o'clock in the morning.
Another night has passed.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiu Ju tiptoed to the inner room, walked around the screen, and was about to go to the bed when she suddenly stepped on something, which made a crisp "click" sound.
"who?!"
Tense questioning voices immediately came out from the Hongluan tent.
"Second Madam, it's me—Xiu Ju."
Xiu Ju hurriedly stated her identity while lowering her head to carefully examine it. She saw that what she was standing on was a pair of silver-plated scissors.
Yes, this should be the sword that Second Mistress used to launch a sneak attack when Second Master came in yesterday.
I was shocked at the time, but the two of them were pulling and pushing each other, and somehow they ended up on the bed again...
Swish~
Just as I was thinking about what happened last night, the red luan curtain was half lifted up, and it turned out that Sun Shaozong turned over and sat up, with his two strong thighs resting on the edge of the bed.
Xiu Ju quickly collected her thoughts, walked forward quickly to take the pants, knelt on the footstool and served carefully.
At this moment, Wang Xifeng's faint sigh was heard from the bed again: "You evil villain, you have ruined my innocence... well..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly turned into a muffled groan.
Xiu Ju looked up in surprise, only to find that it was Sun Shaozong who leaned sideways and kissed her red lips fiercely.
This kiss seemed to last forever. When Sun Shaozong pulled away, Wang Xifeng's mind was blank and the only thing left was the instinct to gasp for breath.
When Wang Xifeng finally recovered and stood up with difficulty, there was no sign of Sun Shaozong in the room.
…
But after Sun Shaozong passed through the tunnel and returned to his study, he couldn't help laughing when he thought about his battle of will and strength with Wang Xifeng last night.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he heard Jia Yingchun screaming for warning, and then Wang Xifeng rushed over with a pair of scissors in her hand, talking about a life-and-death struggle.
For a moment, Sun Shaozong really thought that she was going to fight to the death to prove her innocence.
However, after snatching the scissors and looking at Jia Yingchun again, his mind suddenly became clear as a mirror - if he really wanted to assassinate him, how could he not restrict Jia Yingchun's actions at all and allow her to give him an early warning?
If she were an ignorant and stupid woman, there might be some omissions.
But Wang Xifeng...
This woman may not be good at making plans, but she always arranges everything in detail when it comes to things that are happening around her.
Obviously, she did this just to express a certain attitude or to increase her bargaining chips.
As expected.
Sun Shaozong only needed to probe her a little before she revealed her intention to set up three rules.
In fact, considering the night they had made love, if she made some moderate requests, Sun Shaozong would certainly not be able to refuse.
However……
This woman was obviously spoiled by the One-Eared Jia She, and she even tried to take advantage of the opportunity to bring Sun Shaozong into her control.
But how could Sun Shaozong be easily fooled by a mere woman?
He immediately took advantage of the situation and reaped the benefits, but all of Wang Xifeng's plans were stuck in his throat.
Uh~
That last kiss seemed ...
Thinking that the products were probably exported and then sold domestically, Sun Shaozong felt very upset. He quickly took out tooth powder and toothbrush and fiddled with it for about a quarter of an hour.
When he had washed up and came out of the inner study, he saw Zhao Zhongji standing outside, looking in eagerly, obviously having something to report.
Sun Shaozong did not stop, but just raised his chin towards Zhao Zhongji, indicating that he should come up and talk.
Zhao Zhongji immediately tilted his shoulders and moved sideways like a crab, always staying beside Sun Shaozong, and said respectfully: "In reply to your question, the Dali Temple sent someone before dawn, asking you to come back to the government office in the morning."
Asking me to go to the government office?
Sun Shaozong paused, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Was Zhao Nan on duty at the government office yesterday? Send a car to pick him up immediately!"
Zhao Zhongji nodded in response, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took out a note from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, saying, "Second Master, the birthday gifts for Sun Jijiu have been prepared. Here is the gift list. Would you like to take a look first?"
He has been busy investigating the case these past two days, and if he hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about wishing Sun Tao a happy birthday.
It looks like the prince will be here the day after tomorrow, so we can't take it lightly.
Sun Shaozong took the gift list and signaled Zhao Zhongji to arrange a carriage to take Zhao Nan back home as soon as possible.
After Zhao Zhongji took the order and left, Sun Shaozong went straight to the living room in the front yard, ordered people to serve the dishes, and checked whether the gift list was appropriate.
Who would have thought that before the food was served, two people suddenly rushed in from outside. One of them was Zhao Nan, whom Sun Shaozong had sent to pick up, and the other was his legal advisor Qin Kejian.
"how?"
Seeing Qin Kejian, Sun Shaozong immediately stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong in the government office?"
Originally, I should have brought Qin Kejian with me when I went to the Lin Mansion to investigate the case. After all, he was an old hand at criminal law and he might be able to fill in the gaps for me.
But because of the black note, Sun Shaozong always felt uneasy, and at the moment he couldn't be sure whether the Lin family's case was related to the black note.
Therefore, after careful consideration, it was decided to let Qin Kejian stay behind to prevent any strange case from being missed by those people who were content with eating corpses.
Therefore, when he saw Qin Kejian coming to his door, Sun Shaozong thought that something had gone wrong in the government office.
"That 's not too bad."
Qin Kejian cupped his hands and said solemnly, "I hurried over here to remind you that it's best not to return to the government office for the time being, so as not to damage your reputation in vain."
Damaged reputation?
Sun Shaozong was stunned and hurriedly asked what was going on. Only then did he realize that while he was concentrating on solving the case, a big commotion had arisen in the court.
It is said that it was the Prime Minister He Tiren who insisted on temporarily adopting a conciliatory policy towards the Later Jin Kingdom.
Since the goal was to appease the enemy, the two Jin envoys who were detained in the Dali Temple for fighting and attacking officials would naturally have to be treated lightly.
No wonder someone summoned me and asked me to go to the government office in the morning!
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always adopted a high-pressure policy towards the surrounding ethnic minorities. This is the first time in history that it has been gentle, and it is bound to cause controversy.
Prime Minister He must have become the target of public criticism now.
If I give the two Jurchen prisoners a light sentence, my reputation will most likely be ruined...
Lin Qisheng died at the right time!
Otherwise, it is your responsibility, and even if you delegate the review to someone else, you will most likely have to bear joint liability.
But now...
"Jo Joong-ki!"
Sun Shaozong rushed to the door in a few steps and ordered loudly: "Send someone to the government office to report that I have always admired the character of General Lin. Now that General Lin has met with an unexpected event, no matter whether it is public or private, I must investigate it thoroughly!"
"As for the trivial matters in the government office, I would like to ask Lord Wei to take care of them first!"
