The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 434



Sun Shaozong made up his mind and immediately calmly separated himself from Miaoyu.

Almost at the same time, Chu Liang led his subordinates and rushed in like a swarm of bees, stunned by the ferocious and wild laughter of the lecherous nun.

“Go and take a look.”

Chu Liang raised his hand and immediately grabbed two subordinates from both sides, waiting to check on the situation of the mother and son.

Just before they could get closer, the mother and son collapsed on the bedside, her wild smile gradually solidified, and the baby in her hand also fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the two Dragon Guards quickly rushed up to test the mother and son's breathing and pulse and then turned around at the same time to shake their heads at Chu Liang.

Obviously, both mother and son have lost their lives.

Chu Liang furrowed his brows slightly, and his gaze fell on Miaoyu again. He opened his mouth in a deep voice and asked, "Who are you? How could this mother and son be like this?”

Miaoyu pinched the corner of her clothes and shook her head in a panic, saying, "I, Miaoyu, I... I don't know what happened. I originally wanted to see how the child was doing, but when I walked in, I saw the mother and son holding the child on the bed, like a clay body made of wood…“

“I was just about to ask her what happened when she suddenly chuckled and chewed her tongue and committed suicide

This was a bit different from the plot originally designed by Sun Shaozong. He didn't expect that this lecherous nun would even chew her tongue and commit suicide to cover up her ”Joyful Bodhisattva” in her heart!

However, Sun Shaozong followed his original plan and calmly approached, observing falsely before sighing. "Although this lecherous nun was already crazy, who could have imagined that she would accidentally cover her child and flesh to death.”

As he spoke, he turned around and spread his hands at Chu Liang, saying, "The mother and son's corpses are here. What to do with them is up to you to decide, Deputy Chu.”

Chu Liang did not doubt that Sun Shaozong would use the trick of changing a civet cat for a crown prince. Moreover, the main purpose of this trip was not to kill or eliminate demons.

So he casually asked a few questions about the lecherous nun's usual situation, and then looked at Monk Jienian and asked, "Master Jienian, do you think these two corpses should be burned together with the courtyard, or...”

“Amitabha Buddha.”

The Monk recited the Buddhist name and solemnly said, "As a demon that has emerged at this historic moment, how could it die so easily?”

Sun Shaozong's heart tightened, thinking that the monk had noticed some flaws. Unexpectedly, the monk pointed to the body of Jiexian and firmly said, "It must be that after being secretly harmed by this demon, Jiexian Junior Brother still held onto the idea of killing and eliminating demons. He chose to die with this demon at the cost of his soul.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up and let out a long sigh, "What a virtuous and magnificent person.”

“Once we return to report, we must request the Supreme Emperor to bestow special honors on the Junior Monk, in recognition of his achievements in eliminating demons and defending the way.”

Ha!

What a shameless bald donkey!

Threat and inducement failed, and he, unexpectedly came up with such a drastic idea!

If the Supreme Emperor would listen to his nonsense and truly bestowed any title on the virtuous, then this matter would be considered a conclusion. Whoever excavated the hidden secrets behind the Junior Monk was equivalent to having trouble with the Supreme Emperor!

Not to mention Sun Shaozong; even Chu Liang couldn't help but secretly curse the monk for being shameless.

However, after cursing, he continued to sneer along the lines of Jienian's words and said, "I heard that it was the Central Judicial Office who intended to shield the demon mother and son at that time, and they were in a stalemate. Unfortunately, Master Jiexian was assassinated. I dare to ask you, is this true?”

Sun Shaozong frowned and asked, "Is this also what the Supreme Emperor wants to ask?”

Chu Liang frowned at him, and his attitude became even more aggressive. "Although it was not asked by the Supreme Emperor, I will truthfully report the answers of yours, Inspector Sun.”

“Okay.”

Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly, "I didn't mean to cover up for this mother and son from all levels in the Central Judicial Office. It's just that Wei Ruolan, who passed the judgment for some reason, insisted on blocking all the Masters from eliminating demons and defending the way. However, I only took over this case according to the court's rules after the death of Master Jiexian.”

“If Deputy Chu doesn't believe it, you can call in Warden Zhou Da and the inmates of this arrest house for careful questioning.”

Chu Liang was immediately dumbfounded. He had originally heard that Xu-Shi had claimed that Sun Shaozong had taken down the monks and others, so he thought it was Sun Shaozong who was blocking the Monks ”demonic defense.”

Therefore, he couldn't wait and wanted to give Sun Shaozong a hat to cover up evil spirits, causing the death of the monk.

He didn't think that the person who stopped the monks was someone else!

If it were anyone else, it would still be fine, as they were subordinates of the Criminal Department.

But this person happened to be Wei Ruolan.

Everyone knew Wei Ruolan was the Brother-in-Law of Prince Beijing, who was also the favorite grandson of the Supreme Emperor.

Who didn’t know that the Wei family and the Sun family were on par?

If he wanted to report it truthfully, wouldn't it not only offend Prince Beijing but also allow this grandson to take advantage of it randomly?!

After being stunned for a long time, Chu Liang reluctantly smiled and said, "This... There may be some misunderstanding among them.”

“There is naturally a misunderstanding.”

Sun Shaozong chuckled and walked over to Monk Jiexian. He unbuttoned his robe and fiddled with the red gourd, asking, "I wonder if Master Jienian recognizes this thing?”

At the sight of the gourd, Jienian's expression, which was originally high, suddenly collapsed. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "How do I know about the objects that are close to Jienian Junior Brother?”

“That's really a coincidence.”

Sun Shaozong looked back and pointed at the mother and son on the bed, saying, "I didn't know what this was, but the lecherous nun recognized this object and its name was ”A haste woman moans.” It was said that even if a chaste martyr takes this object, her heart will inevitably shake and she can’t control herself.”

As he spoke, he sneered at Jienian and said, "I wonder why a noble monk who would even sacrifice his soul to kill the mother and son would carry this thing with him?”

Jienian was tongue-tied when asked, but how could he answer?

He could only secretly curse Jiexian for being licentious and immoral in his heart, and even when he came out to do serious errands, he didn't forget to bring such things with him, which ruined his clever plan in vain.

“Deputy Chu.”

At this moment, someone suddenly arrived at the door and bowed down to report, "We found a pile of dry firewood nearby, and now it has been piled outside the courtyard. I dare to ask when to light it?”

Without waiting for Chu Liang to respond, Jie Nian quickly flipped his sleeve in anger, shouting, "Hurry up and light the fire, burn this courtyard and that mother and son together to clean it up.”

“Burn the courtyard?”

Upon hearing this, Miaoyu, who had been hanging her head all along, suddenly raised her head, her two beautiful eyes staring around, and blurted out, "No, this courtyard can’t be burned!”

In just one sentence, everyone's gaze was attracted, with a hint of suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes.

It seemed that he still needed to use emergency filing!

Sun Shaozong let out a deep sigh in his heart and was about to step forward at any time to clear his connections. However, he suddenly heard someone in the courtyard raise their voice and said, "Lady Miaoyu, since the mother and son were from a Buddhist sect, they should be buried by fire. I don't think there's anything wrong with them.”

As she spoke, she saw Wei Ruolan coming in from outside and softly saying to Miaoyu, "For the sake of the nuns in Shuiyue Temple, you have done enough. Why don't you just let them return to dust and settle down peacefully?”

Miaoyu stared at him in a daze for a while and finally breathed a sigh, declaring her Buddhist name and heading outside.
