Chapter 298: War is peace
The sun is waning, and it is time to go to the banquet.
In the courtyard of the criminal name Si Dong, Wei Ruolan was pacing back and forth in the living room of the hall, feeling irritable.
Although he has been in a dormant period recently, he is still doubly attentive to Sun Shaozong's every move, so he knew about the invitation sent by the Xue family earlier than Sun Shaozong.
So when the servants of the Xue family went and returned, and sent posts to him and Qiu Yunfei, how could Wei Ruolan not know that this was from Sun Shaozong?
So he had a hard time in his heart.
Go ahead, look at Xue Pan's initial attitude, you know that Sun Shaozong must be respected at the table, and that group of people are surrounded by stars and moons, and they let themselves be a foil, and they feel uncomfortable when they think about it.
Don't go, compared with Sun Shaozong's attitude, it will seem that he is too narrow-minded, and he will lose his impression in the circle of 'Jia Wang Shixue'.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, Wei Ruolan stomped her foot violently and beckoned, "Master Qi, you come in with me first!" ”
This Master Qi is related to King Beijing, and his status is naturally very different from other masters.
Therefore, after entering the door, he didn't wait for Wei Ruolan to ask, so he gave up his hand and advised: "In the opinion of the students, Dong Weng should not only go to the banquet, but also try to ease the conflict with Sun Zhizhong at the banquet." ”
"What do you mean by that?!"
What is 'easing the conflict', to put it bluntly, isn't it just to let Wei Ruolan take the initiative to bow to Sun Shaozong at the banquet and submit to Sun Shaozong? !
How can Wei Ruolan accept this kind of suggestion?
When he was a little annoyed, he flicked his sleeves and waited to scold Master Qi for a few words.
Who knew that Master Qi hurriedly reminded him: "Don't forget, Dong Weng, the princess is deliberately promoting the marriage between you and the Baoling Hou family recently, and at this juncture, it is really not appropriate to fight with that Sun Shaozong." ”
Hearing this, Wei Ruolan scolded her mouth, and immediately choked back.
This marriage can be said to be another 'strategic marriage' of the Wei family after marrying his daughter to King Beijing.
The purpose is naturally to obtain the political legacy left by the previous generation of Baoling Hou, so as to further consolidate the status of the wealthy family that the Wei family has just obtained.
You must know that although there is only a young orphan girl left in the Shi family's room, and the two uncles are also well-known hollow bosses, not only are they poor and unpresentable, but they don't have much real power in their hands.
However, the generals under the command of the previous generation of Baoling Marquis now have many people who have risen to the top of the world, such as Qiu Yunfei's father Qiu Ying, Feng Ziying's father Feng Tang, and even Wang Ziteng, nicknamed the 'King of the Southeast', who had fought under Shi Hou at the beginning.
If Wei Ruolan marries Shi Hou's orphans, although these people may not be able to help, it is not a problem to provide some convenience without harming themselves.
And this is also the most urgently needed political capital of the Wei family, which has risen rapidly in recent years!
Therefore, the Wei family is now operating in full force, hoping to facilitate this marriage.
If you fight with Sun Shaozong at this time, you will lose and delay this major event of revitalizing the family, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
But if you bow your head to the surnamed Sun, you will be honest......
Without further ado.
said that just when Wei Ruolan was in a deeper entanglement, Sun Shaozong stood in front of Chen Bo's bed, but he was also frowning.
After a careful search, no problems were found in the other locations of Chen Bo's room, but under this mattress, there were some strange indentations that Sun Shaozong cared about very much.
There were six shallow marks, spread around the perimeter of the mattress and in the center.
The surrounding marks are blurry due to the lack of pressure, and it is difficult to distinguish them - but the mark in the center is slightly clearer, vaguely showing the shape of a man the size of a palm.
"Your Excellency."
Zhao Wuxing looked majestic in the face of a few strong men holding sticks, and when he saw the vague humanoid indentation, he was quite frightened, and quietly took half a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This can't really be a curse, right?! ”
This opening reminded the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, only to see him jump three feet high, and excitedly pointed to the trace and shouted: "I'll just say it, I'll say it!" It must have been the demon woman who had cursed and wanted to kill the old man and the young master so that her wild seed could inherit the family business! ”
As he spoke, he knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head, asking Sun Shaozong to release Chen Bo and severely punish the demon woman.
Sun Shaozong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and used clothes and towels and other things to briefly test it, and determined that the things under the bed should be quite thin, about thick paper or cloth - otherwise the marks left should be clearer.
Other than that......
Sun Shaozong was still cautious, leaned up and sniffed with his nose, and now there was a faint sweet fragrance on the trace, but the smell was extremely light, if it wasn't deliberately distinguished, I am afraid it would not be noticeable at all.
Putting down the mattress, Sun Shaozong turned around and asked, "After Lord Chen died, who came to this room?" ”
"That witch, that witch must have been here!"
Steward Liu blurted out and shouted, but under Sun Shaozong's cold gaze, he had to sneer again: "The villain patronized and protected the eldest young master at that time, and he didn't send anyone to guard here, I really don't know who has come in." ”
In other words, everyone in this house has the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to take away what is pressed under the quilt.
And now more than three hours have passed, as long as the murderer is not mentally retarded, or if he has other plans, I am afraid that the body has already been destroyed.
Tut~
It seems that he can only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.
"Zhao Zhutou."
"The villain is here!"
Zhao Wuxing hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, and then couldn't help but explore: "My lord, should we go and arrest that demon woman now?" ”
"Grab a ...... Ahem, nonsense, now there is not the slightest evidence, how can you arrest people indiscriminately?! Sun Shaozong scolded angrily: "You stay, take someone to search the Chen Mansion carefully, and focus on finding the kind of object that is big in the palm, has a sweet fragrance, and takes on a human shape." ”
When Zhao Wudaunt obediently responded, Sun Shaozong pulled up the futon and the mat below, stuffed it into his arms, and ordered: "Also, take this thing to the pharmacy and see if you can distinguish something from the smell of these traces." ”
"This ......"
Zhao Wuxing had a bitter face, and said, "I'm afraid it's ......."
"Let you give it a try, and I didn't say I had to find out anything!"
Sun Shaozong glared, and after Zhao Wudaunt retreated, he beckoned Qiu Yunfei and escorted Chen Bo back to the mansion together, then took off his official robe and changed into civilian clothes, and hurried to Dingxiang Mansion for a banquet.
When I arrived at the Dingxiang Building, I saw that although the banquet had not yet opened, all the people who should have come had already arrived, such as Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, Jiang Yuhan, plus a few famous prostitutes in the capital, and they were full of a large table.
Wei Ruolan is also among them!
However, Sun Shaozong was surprised that it was not him, but Jia Rong, the son of Ning Guofu, who also came to join in the fun. ()
