A group of twenty-two horsemen, under the eyes of hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Qianxiang Kingdom, rushed across the street with high spirits, and continued to run forward for most of the street.

"Lord Captain!"

Feng Xin came to Sun Shaozong's side in high spirits, provoked the big brother to be the boss, and praised him: "Your subordinates are convinced today, and your courage is not worse than the original old general Chen of Qi Guogong!" “

Chen Yi, the Duke of Qi, was the commander who attacked the Qianxiang Kingdom at the beginning, and it is said that he only used 30,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the 160,000 troops of the Qianxiang Kingdom and collapsed - until today, mentioning the name of Chen Yi in the Qianxiang Kingdom can still make children stop crying.

"Don't slap Lao Tzu around!"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him angrily and said, "If there is no Qi Guogong Zhuyu in front, do you think we can still come out smoothly?" ”

To tell the truth, Sun Shaozong was actually very worried in his heart, if the other party insisted on refusing to give way, he could only retreat back to the embassy.

Fortunately, he still let him win the bet after all!

"My lord, although the prince of Qi is in front of the jade, you are not bad......"

"Shut up!"

Interrupting Feng Xin's flattery, Sun Shaozong ordered in a deep voice: "Feng Xin, you take half of the people to Ruan Wenhao's house to have a look, and I will take the rest of my brothers to Ruan Liangshun's mansion first." ”

"Huh?!"

Feng Xin was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "My lord, that is a spy who poisoned you, don't you want to take revenge with your own hands?" ”

"Where did you come from so much nonsense, just do it!"

Sun Shaozong scolded impatiently, and then, according to the impression in his memory, he went straight to Ruan Liangshun's mansion with half of his hands.

It has been more than half a day since Ruan Van Hao left the embassy, and as long as he is not an idiot, he will definitely not stay at home obediently - Sun Shaozong talked about Ruan Van Hao in the embassy before, just to boost morale.

The focus at the moment is actually on Ruan Liangshun's side.

Not to mention that as the first scene, there are probably many clues hidden here, and just by virtue of Ruan Liangshun's identity as the prefect, it is worth Sun Shaozong's personal visit.

Don't forget, the embassy guards are all from the Great Zhou, and they are not familiar with the situation in Qianxiang Kingdom and Qinglin Mansion, and the easiest way to find out about this case as soon as possible is to find cooperation with local forces.

And Ruan Liangshun, the governor of Qinglin Mansion, is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.

First of all, this case happened at his wedding banquet, not to mention ruining a happy event, he himself was also implicated, which can be said to be the biggest victim except Niu Yongxin, so there should not be much suspicion.

Secondly, as the prefect of Qinglin Prefecture, he was a proper local snake, and he had a large number of quick arresters available under his command, which was convenient for him to assist in the search for assassins.

That's why Sun Shaozong wanted to go to Ruan's Mansion first.

-- Dividing line --

However, there is a saying called 'the plan can't catch up with the change', although Sun Shaozong's analysis is the Tao, but when he really arrived at Ruan's mansion, he encountered an unexpected accident - Ruan Liangshun has been taken to Dali Temple to await trial!

Anyway, I'm also the mayor of the capital, do you want to catch it so hastily?!

"Steward Ruan!"

Sun Shaozong asked unrelentingly, "I don't know where the bodies of our Lord Niu and those assassins are?" ”

"It's gone, it's all gone."

The old butler seemed to have a piece of bitter melon in his mouth, and sighed vaguely: "The corpses of Ambassador Niu and the guards were transported to the Ministry of Rites for collection; The bodies of the assassins were sent to the Ministry of Punishment. ”

Depend on~

Does this count as 'dismemberment'?

Sun Shaozong scolded secretly in his heart, and asked unrelentingly: "Then can we go to the scene to have a look?" If you can, be prepared to ask someone who was there at the time to ask a few words. ”

"Taken away, taken away."

The bitter gourd in the old housekeeper's mouth seemed to be a lot bigger, and it was vague for fear that he would accidentally bite his tongue: "Except for the lady and lady in the backyard, there are not a few people left in this house, and even my two sons who are in charge have been taken to the lobby of the criminal department." ”

As he spoke, there were signs of old tears.

The old housekeeper had originally retired to care for the elderly at home, but now there is really no one in charge of the house, so he has to go out again.

Sun Shaozong was so depressed in his heart, in the end he could only ask the old housekeeper to lead the way and went to the scene of Niu Yongxin's assassination to investigate - but the scene was first trampled on by the guests, and then was watched by the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Rites.

In addition, everything related to the case has been brought back to the Criminal Department, so Sun Shaozong carefully investigated for a long time, but he didn't have any eyebrows at all.

When he left Ruan's Mansion full of disappointment, Feng Xin had already hurried over, and he was also unexpectedly pounced.

So Sun Shaozong stood in front of the gate of the Ruan Mansion and looked around blankly, but he didn't know where to go for a while.

"Your Excellency."

Although Feng Xin pounced, the little bit of arrogance in his heart hadn't been used up yet, so he came up and gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Why don't we try to break into the lobby of the criminal department again?" I don't believe it, the soldiers don't dare to stop us, and a few officials can still have such guts! ”

"You're right."

Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly: "What's the use of breaking in, after you go in, where do you know where to go to check the clues?" Do you know where the body is? Do you know where the witnesses are? At that time, as long as people pass the buck a few words, it will be enough for us to return in vain. ”

Feng Xin was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and more than 20 people stared at each other on the street, and they didn't say a word.

Puff~

At this moment, they heard a muffled sound not far away, and everyone followed the reputation, but it was a 'servant' in a green coat and a small hat, coming out of the wall of Ruan's mansion - the reason why I want to put a quotation mark on the word 'servant' is because as long as you have eyes, you can see that this person is actually a delicate girl!

The girl climbed over the wall, and immediately rushed to the front of everyone, her big watery eyes swept away, and she locked on Sun Shaozong, and opened her mouth to ask, "You are the Sun Duwei of the Great Zhou Embassy, right?" ”

It's for itself!

Sun Shaozong raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "That's right, under Sun Shaozong, I don't know if Your Excellency has any advice?" ”

"I can't talk about advice."

The girl didn't seem to know that she had exposed her feet, and said in a rough voice: "In Xia Ruan Valley, my father is Ruan Liangshun, the prefect of Qinglin, and he is now being detained in Dali Temple. You take revenge, and I will help my father wash away his grievances! ”

Before Sun Shaozong could speak, Feng Xin on the side had already sneered, glanced back and forth on Soft Gu a few times, and said, "Come on!" We men still have no clue, and you little girl dare to speak out here. ”

"What's wrong with the girl? How do you know I can't help you?! ”

Ruan Gu shouted angrily, and his voice, which was no longer pretentious, immediately became crisp and pleasant.

Feng Xin was about to taunt a few more words, but was casually pushed aside by Sun Shaozong.

"Girl, don't bother with this."

Sun Shaozong bowed to Ruan Gu again, and asked solemnly: "Dare to ask the girl, I don't know how you are going to help us find out the truth?" ”

"This ...... Well...... this."

Being treated so solemnly by Sun Shaozong, Ruan Gu became a little flustered, and after a few words, he finally said what he wanted to say: "The head arrester of the Criminal Department, Li Jiu, was picked up by my father back then, and he is also one of the people handling this case, I can take you to him for help!" ”

As soon as they heard that Ruan Gu could help introduce the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, the guards, including Feng Xin, were all overjoyed, and they had long forgotten Fang Cai's contempt for others.

But Sun Shaozong frowned and questioned: "Since the person investigating the case has a great relationship with your father, why do you want to cooperate with us?" Just wait for the Criminal Department to find out the truth. ”

Ruan Gu pursed his mouth and said indignantly: "Although Uncle Li is a good person, Huang Shilang of the Criminal Department is my father's sworn enemy!" If we don't find out the truth as soon as possible, what if that guy gets in the way?! ”

The reason for this......

It's reasonable.

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
