Chapter Forty-Nine: Meeting Sun Sheng Again... (Ask for follow-up)
Early the next morning...
Xu Boqing changed into a navy blue shirt, said hello to the Queen Mother, and then left the imperial city again.
It was strange to see wanted portraits of 'myself' posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the patrol officers on the streets were also working hard to patrol.
'That's the fun of changing vests?' ’
He shook his head, didn't take the carriage, just walked around and wandered all the way to the south of the city.
happened to hear the suona gong and drum playing the harmony of greeting relatives, followed the sound and passed, and sure enough, I saw my cousin Xu Da.
At this time, Xu Da was not as embarrassed as in the previous prison, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist covered with the groom's official wedding dress, riding a high-headed horse tied with red flowers under his crotch, and the stubble on his face was shaved clean, showing the unique pride of young people.
He gestured to the front and his neighbors...
Behind him, eight porters carried a big red sedan chair, flanked not only by musicians playing suona and gongs and drums, but also by children singing along the road and begging for candied sweets to be filled with joy.
Looking at this appearance, the bride should have been received.
Xu had just had an accident yesterday, and because of the stricter security in the city, most of the process of parading the streets in a sedan chair was omitted, and the team to pick up relatives went to the groom's house.
When encountering happy events, whether it is begging along the street or setting up stalls to do business, as long as there is no grudge or resentment, they will basically give way.
I never thought that when the team picking up relatives met the soldiers of the inspection department on the street, the other party did not let them, but shouted for a routine inspection.
And the leader of the inspection department...
It's that Sun Sheng!!
Although Xu He was reinstated and out of prison, he did not choose to go back, but resigned from the position of the inspection department and transferred to a dart bureau in the capital as a dart master.
Because of the chaos of the world, rich people would rather spend more money than take risks, and there are not a few people who walk darts, so life is not bad.
And Sun Sheng also knew the rules of the prison, and he knew better how much money he needed to 'redeem himself', so as early as when Xu He's family walked out of the prison, he paid attention to such a family.
Now that he saw that he was patrolling the streets, and the son of his former subordinate was getting married on a high-headed horse, he couldn't help but feel a bad anger in his already angry heart, and there was inevitably a little more gloom on his fat face.
The pick-up procession was stopped.
Xu Da saw that the team of the Inspection Division was headed by his father's former boss, and thought that this person was one of the culprits who caused his cousin to enter the palace, and now he stopped his own kissing team, and his face was also not very good-looking.
He also knew the truth that the people did not fight with the officials, so he took a deep breath and jumped off the horse, smiled and greeted him, and said, "The villain has seen Master Sun." ”
Sun Sheng snorted coldly and asked, "Do you know this official?" ”
"The villain's surname is Xu Mingda, and his father, Xu He, once served as the chief of the Inspection Division, and he is your soldier."
Xu Da endured the nausea in his heart, and explained with a shy face: "When my father used to serve in the Inspection Department, he often mentioned Lord Sun, and the villain has been fascinated for a long time. ”
"Hmph, you can talk."
Sun Sheng didn't care about him, and snorted coldly and said: "Yesterday, there were assassins in the capital, and the second son of the Zhang Xiang family was assassinated, you are quite bold and dare to get married at this time." ”
"This ......"
Xu Da also knows that there is such a thing, but he has already finished the pretending yesterday, how can there be any reason not to get married today?
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Lord Sun, the villain's family was already holding a banquet yesterday, if you don't get married today, won't it be a joke?"
"Married? Okay. ”
Sun Sheng sneered, pointed to the sedan chair that received his relatives, and said: "From here, everyone who passed by must be inspected, and the capital will be searched, and the thief has not been able to find out, and the official has reason to suspect that the thief is hiding in the sedan chair." ”
"You ......"
Xu Da's face changed, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and said: "Lord Sun, the villain picked up his relatives from his father-in-law's house, and hundreds of people saw the sedan chair on the bride, how could the sedan chair hide in the thief?" ”
"That's not for sure."
Sun Sheng glanced left and right, and the two patrol officers beside him entered the team to receive relatives, and walked straight to the sedan chair where the bride was.
"Master Sun!"
Xu Da gritted his teeth and said: "I also hope that Lord Sun will raise his noble hand in the face of his father, and the villain is grateful." ”
"It's just a routine inspection by this officer."
Sun Sheng waved his hand, and the two patrol officers directly lifted the sedan chair, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that sitting in the sedan chair was a bride wearing a red wedding dress and a red satin hijab on her head.
But he still shook his head dissatisfied, and said jokingly: "Lift the hijab and let the official see it." ”
"Master Sun!"
When Xu Da heard that he was going to lift the bride's red hijab, his eyes were red, and he couldn't care about the identity gap, so he shouted angrily: "You don't have to deceive people too much!" ”
"Too much deception?"
Sun Sheng seemed to have heard something interesting, and said with a playful face: "You don't dare to talk to me like this in front of me, you?" Want to disobey? ”
When he finally said 'I want to disobey', his face instantly turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to show some color to the kid in front of him.
As a result, before his hand could be stretched out, he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, and a flying stone directly knocked his wrist off.
This unexpected change made everyone present freeze in place, Xu Da looked dazed, while Sun Sheng was full of horror and covered his wrist that had begun to swell, and his mouth was still howling: "Who!!" Who is it!? ”
"Tut-tut. Lord Sun is so powerful~"
Xu Boqing walked out of the crowd with a stumbling smile, and said with a meaningful smile: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Lord Sun is okay?" ”
Xu Da was dumbfounded and muttered: "Brother Qing? ”
"You ......"
When Sun Sheng saw that the person who hurt himself came out, he subconsciously wanted to ask his subordinates to take people, but after hearing the other party's words, he looked at the people carefully in surprise.
Only then did I find that the other party was a little familiar.
Then his eyes widened, and he thought of the 'strange arts' he had seen in the dungeon more than half a year ago, and the shadow in his heart that had arisen when he had sex, and the young man overlapped with the person in front of him.
"It's you!!"
"Master Sun's memory is not bad."
Xu Boqing walked over, and when he saw that the people from the Inspection Department surrounded him, he smiled disapprovingly, and said in a teasing tone: "What does Master Sun mean by this?" ”
Sun Sheng couldn't figure out his path for a while, and scolded sharply: "What are you doing here?" ”
After all, more than half a year ago, he was still pinching Xu Boqing like a chicken, and now the other party not only hurt himself secretly, but also appeared in front of him calmly, which is incredible.
"What am I doing here?"
Xu Boqing muttered, and said like a fool: "Xu Da is my cousin, today is the day of his wedding, as a cousin, why can't I come here?" ”
His voice paused, and then he asked in a cold voice: "It's you, Lord Sun, as the inspector Si Cheng, who did not investigate the murderer and thief who killed the second son of the Zhang Xiang family, but embarrassed a newlywed couple here. ”
"You...... Look for death!! ”
Sun Sheng saw that he not only didn't explain the reason why he was here, but also came to ask himself, and he was so angry that he wanted to wave his hand and signal his subordinates to arrest someone!
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he found that the other party was holding a gold medal from the chief of internal affairs of Cining Palace in the palace...
This thing was given by Emperor Yonghe not long after he ascended the throne, when Manager Huang resigned, although the official position of 'Chief of Internal Affairs' has no real power, but the target in the palace is a real product!!
This is also the confidence of Mr. Huang to say to Xu Boqing, 'I want to recognize you as a righteous son, and eighty percent of the eunuchs in this palace have to call you godfather'!!
Sun Sheng saw the word 'Imperial Gift' on the gold medal, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he swallowed dryly, and a layer of cold sweat overflowed on his forehead.
Seeing this, Xu Boqing snorted coldly, and unceremoniously slapped his fat face with his backhand.
