The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 97



Chapter 94 There is only 1 person missing for the p

Of course, Sun Shaozong did not go to the’West Wing Wedding Room’ at night. Instead, he spent another night outside the hall. After Ruan Rong became pregnant, the two separated temporarily, mainly because he was afraid that Sun Shaozong would not sleep honestly at night and would be careless. Hurt the fetus in the belly.

No words for a night.

, however, said that the next day was not light, Sun Shaozong heard the maid over and reported that someone had spread the news in the middle of the night, so that he didn’t need to go to the government office to discuss matters today.

Sure enough, Zhou Da was right!

River Road Yamen is located in the outer city, quite a distance from the Sun’s Mansion. Therefore, Sun Shaozong hurriedly freshened up, and simply filled his stomach, went to the inside to inform him, and hurried out of the small courtyard.

Who knows, just after leaving the hospital, he ran into the cheap eldest brother Sun Shaozu head-on.

Seeing his face full of solemnity, Sun Shaozong thought he had heard that he was going to fight the flood and was ready to tell him what to do, so he hurriedly put on a respectful posture and waited.

Who knows that the cheapest brother came up, but only asked: “The one you brought back yesterday is a good one?”

Sun Shaozong: “……”

This cheap eldest brother is really crazy about “son”!

After a few speechless perfunctory words, Sun Shaozong was able to get away, shouting a set of carriages, and heading straight to the outer city in the rain.

When he arrived at the Governor’s Yamen of the River Channel, there was still a quarter of an hour before the end of the morning [7 am]. He thought that the rain was torrential, and he should have come earlier. Who knew that he was led to the back hall by the subordinates. There were almost full seats on the Grand Master’s chairs on both sides.

Sitting in the middle, naturally, he had a relationship with Sun Shaozong, Wang Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Governor of the River.

Seeing Jia Yucun sitting on the right, and not far behind, there are also Yantietong judge Zhao Rongheng and Xu Huaizhi in Wanping County who are also leading the river workers. After Sun Shaozong came up to see Wang Yan, he also sat quietly. Arrived in the empty seat between Zhao Rongheng and Xu Huaizhi.

After that, several groups of officials arrived one after another. Somehow there was a seat for those above the seventh rank, and the officials below the seventh rank could only wait in the corridor.

saw Wang Yan at the end of the morning at the end of the day, and Wang Yan, who had been silent for a long time, cleared his throat and asked in a loud voice, “Are all the people who should be here today?”

A small green-robed official holding a roster immediately flashed out from the lower side, and said, “Return to Lord Ministry, this time the meeting has convened the Ministry of Industry, Hedao, Shuntian Mansion, Patrol Defense Camp, and City Defense Camp. There are a total of 120 civil and military officials. Seven people, one hundred and twenty-four people have been present, and two others have fallen ill. Xu Mingtang, the ambassador of Yongding River’s embankment alone is missing!”

Wang Yan’s face suddenly sank. If someone else is late, it would be fine, but Xu Mingtang, as the ‘embankment ambassador of the Yongding River’, is the first and most important person to bear the brunt of this flood control!

Besides, he was originally an official stationed in the river yamen. Right now, all the people sent by the ‘brother unit’ to support have already arrived, but he, the master, has not arrived yet. How does this make sense? !

slap

Wang Yan took a heavy shot on the coffee table, and said, “Come on, give me that Xu Mingtang…”

“My lord is not good, the Governor is not good!”

Before Wang Yan finished speaking, he saw a few soap-robed officials rushing in in a panic, yelling: “Ms. Xu Mingtang, Master Xu, let… let people die!”

boom

The inside and outside of the hall suddenly fried!

Seeing that the natural disaster was approaching, the ‘embankment ambassador’ who was in charge of repairing the embankment was suddenly killed. If there is no trick, who believes it? !

Even Wang Yan was dumbfounded and speechless for a while.

“Sir Butang, shouldn’t you ask first?”

Jia Yucun reminded me cautiously, Wang Yan remembered, and slapped the table with a busy slap, and got up and shouted: “Quiet, please be quiet!”

After suppressing the chaotic discussion, he gritted his teeth and asked the subordinates: “Wait and make it clear, who on earth is Lord Xu victimized?!”

Look at me, I look at you. In the end, one of them was thin and elegant and took the initiative to say: “Return to Lord Minister, after returning home yesterday, Lord Xu hurried back soon. , Saying that there is an urgent official business that needs to be dealt with overnight, ordering us not to disturb at will.”

“Since Mr. Xu gave orders, the villain did not dare to be alarmed. But this morning, he was about to start discussing matters, but he still didn’t see Mr. Xu coming out. The villain felt a little weird, so he called two colleagues to enter. Check out-who knows that as soon as I entered the door, I saw Master Xu hanging on the beam, and he has been hanged for a long time!”

“Hanged?”

Wang Yan frowned and said, “Then how do you know that he was murdered?”

The official clerk said hurriedly: “The little man thought that the adult committed suicide, but later discovered that even if the stool that fell on the ground was straightened, it was still more than a foot away from the toes of Mr. Xu!”

When everyone heard this, there was another uproar.

Wang Yan’s face can’t help but become darker again. This deliberately disguised suicide technique must be to hide something – and Xu Mingtang happens to be the ambassador of the river embankment of Yongding River…

” At this time, Mr. Butang , the Yantietong judge Zhao Rongheng suddenly stood up and recommended: “Since there has been a murder case, why don’t you let Sun Tongjuan from the lower house go and explore? ”

Wang Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly arched his hands toward the Shuntian Mansion, and said, “Sun Tongjuan, I’m afraid I will have to trouble you!”

When I heard this case, I knew that the water was deep. Sun Shaozong didn’t want to get involved, but Wang Yan used the word ‘you’re labor’ as the honorable person of the Ministry of Industry, but how did he refuse it?

had no choice but to glance at Zhao Rongheng, and said, “Since the adult is dead, the next official will go to see what happened.”

said, let the subordinates lead the way and rush to the scene of the crime.

All the officials in the hall, seeing that it was the “God Judgment and Judgment” who came out to solve the case in person, they all wish they could take a look at it with their own eyes, but Wang Yan had an old face in the dark, but who would dare to touch him? ?

Not to mention how unbearable everyone is.

But he said that Sun Shaozong followed the subordinates all the way through the courtyard, and then reached a cross courtyard in the northwest corner.

Seeing that this pattern is a bit more open and brighter than the criminal name division, Sun Shaozong couldn’t help but inquired curiously: “Dare to ask what rank this adult is?”

The thin literary official took the initiative to clarify: “Generally,’hedi ambassadors’ are from the fifth rank or the fifth rank, but because Yongding River is close to the capital, it is not comparable, so our Master Xu is from the fourth rank. The position is only under the superintendent and commander of the river.”

No wonder they are all willing to be Beijing officials. This is a small tributary of Yongding River, but if it touches the edge of the capital, it is more expensive than the big rivers.

When    was speaking, he had already reached the door of the hall, and the thin clerk opened the door, only to see a noose hanging high on the beam in the middle…
