Niu Jizong's sister recommended herself to solve the case?

No matter how you think about this, it's a little weird.

So much so that Sun Shaozong was a little suspicious that she was actually a prisoner and a thief, and then used this to set a trap to trick herself into entering the palace in order to avenge her brother.

But......

Since he was going to investigate the case, Sun Shaozong would naturally bring all the people - especially since this case is very likely to involve internal ghosts, and the faithful king wants Sun Shaozong to supervise the case, so there is no reason to refuse the official to enter the palace.

Could it be that Princess Niu can still hide hundreds of soldiers, and give an order to shoot and kill so many officials?

Therefore, although Sun Shaozong had doubts in his heart, he did not refuse to go to the palace to investigate the case - besides, he had no reason to refuse.

Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple was originally responsible for investigating major cases on a full-time basis, and the case of the loss of Goryeo national treasures in the palace was within his scope of authority no matter how you look at it.

Now that the faithful king has specially named him again, how can Sun Shaozong not go?

At the moment, he cleaned up and stopped, and summoned the temple Zheng Tang Weishan, the temple deputy Chen Jingde, the head catcher Huang Bin, and more than 20 officials, and rushed to the Zhongxin Palace.

The Loyal Palace, located on the left side of the East Fourth Archway, covers a wide area, but its location is slightly off-limits - of course, this is only relative to the other palaces, in fact, it is only a lane away from the downtown area.

Seeing that the carriage leading the way stopped in front of the west gate of the palace, Sun Shaozong followed and got out of the car.

I saw a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked palace steward come out of the inside, and leaned in front of Hu Tai to whisper a few words, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but sweep Sun Shaozong's side.

The fat prince of the two uses a butler like a hemp rod, isn't this just what is lacking?

didn't let Sun Shaozong wait longer, the two exchanged a few words, and Hu Tai came over apologetically, bowed down and said: "I'm sorry, my prince is too sad because of this case, and it is really inconvenient to meet Lord Sun at the moment - but you can rest assured, once the power and responsibility of the prince are all down, and the investigation will never be delayed." ”

This is also in line with Sun Shaozong's impression - the loyal king has rarely met with foreign ministers in recent years, and this time it can be regarded as consistent.

As for faux pas or something......

As a prince, as long as there are no messy thoughts, don't say that Sun Shaozong is a fourth-grade Shaoqing, and he is the elder of the pavilion and Shangshu in person, so what can he do?

Therefore, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to care, and went straight to the point at the moment: "In this case, can Hu Changshi take me to the treasury to have a look." ”

"Please come with me, sir."

Hu Tai led the way with a move, Sun Shaozong led Tang Weishan and Chen Jingde to follow, as for Huang Bin and other officials, they were able to enter the palace only when they were accompanied by the palace guards.

Although it is a study, because it is a private library, its location is not secluded, but it is built in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, which is the most heavily defended place.

The surrounding walls are about one zhang five [about five meters] high, and there are only some flowers and plants near the left, and there are no half trees.

At this time, outside the wall, there were almost three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were several ladders nearby.

"Hu Changshi."

Before entering the courtyard gate, Sun Shaozong paused, stopped Hu Tai, pointed to the surrounding walls and said: "Since you want to investigate the case, the official will not care about the etiquette, this wall is close to the left, it is more appropriate to hand it over to the guards of my Dali Temple first-of course, the palace guards can also be supervised." ”

"Naturally, I will follow my lord's orders."

Hu Tai clenched his fists, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that the prince's private treasury is not as good as the side after all, and I also ask Lord Sun not to bring too many people in, so as not to make mistakes." ”

This posture of waiting, even if there are many people who go in, most of them dare not take the sheep by the hand, what they are afraid of is that there are many people, in case they break some treasures, it is not a joke.

Anyway, it's not good to let yourself go in alone.

Sun Shaozong nodded in response, first called Chen Jingde, and ordered him to take someone outside to inspect the wall to see if there were any traces of invasion over the wall.

Then he took Tang Weishan, Huang Bin, and four old and dignified officials into the palace study together.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bookshelf pasted on the south wall, which was stuck diagonally in the corner, revealing a large hole more than half a person high.

Sun Shaozong was looking at the bookshelf and the entrance of the private library, but at the same time, he was always paying attention to Hu Tai's every move with the corner of his eye.

I saw Hu Tai walking quickly to the entrance of the private library, pointing to the bookshelf on the side and saying: "There is a mechanism on this bookshelf that needs to be opened with a key, and there is no trace of damage on it, I think it was opened by a clever method." ”

Sun Shaozong also slowly paced to the front, and under Hu Tai's guidance, carefully examined the keyhole on the bookshelf.

This is a mechanism disguised as a table clock, which originally had a keyhole for winding, and the keyhole for opening the secret door was hidden under the dial, and it was revealed that the buckles around the dial had to be removed one by one.

According to Hu Tai, the order in which the four buckles were removed must not be wrong, otherwise the bell would ring loudly and alarm the patrolling guards.

Seeing that there was no trace of damage on the clock, Sun Shaozong asked Hu Tai for the key, first stretched in and turned left half, then went deep into it, turned right twice, only to hear the rattling of the bookcase, slowly moved back to its original position, and blocked the entrance to the private library.

After doing it again, the bookcase slowly moved to the corner.

Then I tried the wrong way again, and sure enough, the bell rang loudly, and the ears of the person who shook it were ringing.

Apparently this organ is in normal operation.

Sun Shaozong put the key in his palm and looked back and forth, and asked, "Who is there in the house who knows how to open this private vault?" ”

Hu Tai smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, there are about a dozen people in the house who know where this private treasury is located - but only the princess, Concubine Wu, and the newly favored Liu Duren know how to open it." ”

In other words, the only one who knows the complete opening method on the surface is the wife of the faithful king.

This looks more and more like a trick to invite you into the urn.

However......

Sun Shaozong glanced at Hu Tai, this rather polite and polite prince Shi didn't look like a dead soldier - if there was a deadly organ in the private treasury, Hu Tai would probably not be spared.

However, just in case, Sun Shaozong still decided to be careful, so he raised his voice and ordered: "Tang Sizheng and Huang Zhutou, you two will enter the private vault with Hu Changshi first, and I will close this entrance outside, you can see if the thief hides in the private vault in advance, there is a way to open it from the inside." ”

Tang Weishan and Huang Bin did not doubt him, so they immediately agreed.

Hu Tai seemed to think of something, but he only smiled slightly bitterly and did not raise any objections.

In this way, the three of them got into the private treasury one after another.

Saying......

The person who designed the entrance to the private treasury is afraid that he has a grudge against the faithful king, right?

With his fat body, it may be very difficult to get in and out of the private vault.

After a while, I heard Tang Weishan shouting inside: "My lord, you can close the library door." ”

It seems that there is no mechanism that will trigger once you enter it.

Next, as long as you want to leave Hu Tai outside, let Huang Bin keep an eye on him, and don't allow him to touch anything, and then go in to investigate.

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong closed the door with the key, waited for a long time, and unsurprisingly got a response that "it cannot be opened from the inside".

Only then did Sun Shaozong reopen the entrance to the private vault.

Hu Tai, Tang Weishan, and Huang Bin came out again.

Except for Hu Tai, the other two looked a little dazed, obviously surprised by the treasures inside.

Hu Tai bowed his hand to Sun Shaozong: "Lord Sun, do you want to go in and check it out now?" ”

Sun Shaozong was about to nod his head in response, and then left him in the study with the reason he had already thought of, but he shrugged his nose coldly, and then took a few deep breaths.

Then he couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any spice in it?" ”

Hu Tai was stunned for a moment, nodded inexplicably, and further explained: "Several of the ever-bright lamps in it are all made of special lamp oil, and the aroma emitted when lit is richer than ordinary spices. ”

Sun Shaozong immediately asked again: "That night pearl, is it usually placed in a box or outside?" ”

"It's placed on a palm-sized soft table, and it's not usually covered."

This time, it was Huang Bin who answered, and it was obvious that although he was in a state of shock, he still completed the most basic investigation.

"In that case, then the official will not go in."

Sun Shaozong smiled, met Hu Tai's surprised gaze and said, "Hu Changshi, I'm tired of asking people to find a few hunting dogs." ”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Tai's eyes lit up, and he answered loudly at the moment, and rushed out of the door to find the thin manager.

In about a quarter of an hour, several hunting dogs were led in front of Sun Shaozong. (https:)
