The horse that pulled the cart squeaked, kicked and stepped forward a few steps, and then stopped firmly outside the Huichun Tower.
Sun Shaozong got out of the car, his footing was unsteady, and the old bustard, who was smeared with an unknown amount of fat on his face, hurried out to greet him, opened his mouth wide, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Hey, this grandfather is really good. Majestic and mighty!"
As she spoke, she covered half of her face with a fan, and pretended to smile mysteriously: "If you are dissatisfied, say that we are back in Chunlou today, and we love a majestic big man like you the most..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Sun Shaozong suddenly threw a golden object.
The old bustard held the thing in his hand and glanced happily, but the eyeballs almost jumped out of the orbit, and the mouth grew bigger and bigger, and when he saw a scream, he wanted to spit out his throat.
"You better not shout."
Sun Shaozong said indifferently: "I'm here to find a man, but if that man is run away by you, I don't mind bringing back all the women here."
"Big... big big..."
The old bustard trembled and returned the thing with both hands, and finally he finally spit out a whole sentence: "Don't worry, Lord Qianhu, the slave family will definitely not shout, definitely not shout!"
When not wearing official robes, it is indeed more convenient to wear the waist card of Qianhu, the Dragon Imperial Guard.
Sun Shaozong casually kicked the waist card into his arms, and instructed with a blank face: "Qin Rushuang, what I'm looking for is the guests in her room, lead the way."
The old man hurriedly agreed, and carefully led Sun Shaozong into the living room.
After entering the door, I felt a heat wave mixed with fat powder, because it was only in the afternoon, and it was not yet the peak period of the brothel's business. There were only a few tables of guests in the hall, with women of ordinary appearance in their arms. There is a joke.
Although Qin Rushuang was not the top card of Huichunlou, he was not comparable to these vulgar fans, so naturally he would not pick up customers downstairs.
Therefore, the old bustard led Sun Shaozong to the second floor again, and vaguely heard someone in a room on the west end recite a poem loudly: "King Chen used to have a happy banquet, and a thousand wine fights and jokes! What does the master say..."
It seems to be Li Bai's "Jiangjinjiu".
Sun Shaozong pointed to the room and said, "But this one."
The old lady nodded vigorously.
Sun Shaozong strode to the front, waited for a while, and then pushed the door and broke in after the man finished reciting the last sentence, "Sell the sorrow with you."
I saw a man and a woman surrounded by a round table in the center of the room. The man looked like a man in his early thirties, dressed as a scholar, and his eyebrows were arrogant but slightly vicissitudes.
woman…
Uh, anyway, Sun Shaozong didn't come to find her, it's the same.
Seeing that the man was holding a brush in his hand, and there was a sheet of rice paper dripping with ink in front of him, it was obvious that he was not reciting poetry just now, but practicing calligraphy.
Probably got a very satisfied work, the man was full of complacent, but when he saw Sun Shaozong barging in, that complacent turned into endless shock and panic.
"Looks like he recognized me."
The corners of Sun Shaozong's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked to the round table with his hands behind his back.
Let's not talk about it, the wild spirit of whoever leaves me, really seems to come out through a piece of paper.
Even if Sun Shaozong is not an expert, he can see that the word has definitely entered the house.
tsk~
He smacked his lips, and said with some regret: "You said that you have this skill, go and write a plaque or something, can you make a lot of money?"
The scholar's expression changed, and he finally smiled bitterly: "To tell you the truth, the student has been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years, but he has been ineffective until he scribbled a few words on the door yesterday, and suddenly he suddenly opened up. "
As he spoke, he threw away the brush in his hand, pointed to the "Wine into the Wine" and said, "This character is the masterpiece of a student's life, and I'm afraid it will be the last character in this life. It is really unwilling - how about giving it to your Excellency?"
As the saying goes, don't scold the bald man in front of the monk, then Qin Rushuang is also known as a famous prostitute in Huichunlou.
"go out."
However, Sun Shaozong glanced at her, spit out two words lightly, and blocked Qin Rushuang's anger to his mouth again.
Deterred by this look, she didn't even have the slightest intention to resist, so she hurried out and closed the door obediently.
After driving away Qin Rushuang, Sun Shaozong sat down on the Xiudun with a golden sword and said, "I accept the word, how did you kidnap Ma Yingjue, and how did you kill him and his accomplices, right? Should you explain it too?"
"Ah~"
The man let out a long sigh, and sat heavily on the pier, and said faintly: "Once you slip up, you will be hated forever, and looking back, you will be a hundred years old! Li was a scholar when he was young, and he used to be reckless and frivolous for a few years. , Who would have thought that after five consecutive autumns, they all came back in vain, and even the family property handed down by the ancestors was defeated by me early in the morning."
"That day, I had a drink with two friends, and the two of them suddenly revealed a secret, but it turned out that they had both served as Ma Yingjue's personal servant, and even had a relationship with Ma Yingjue. What a shameful thing!"
"That was three years ago, when Ma Yingjue was in spring..."
"The case three years ago, this officer has already found out." Sun Shaozong interrupted and said, "You just talk about this case."
"The lord is indeed worthy of being a god."
Li Xiucai gave a wry smile, and then continued: "After learning about this, I originally wanted to go to the government to report the case, but the two thieves quickly came to their senses, and they even thought of killing people."
"In desperation, I had to pretend to be a snake and persuaded them to deceive Ma Yingjue out of the city, tying him to blackmail him for a big vote, and comforting them by saying: Anyway, Ma Yingjue has a ghost in his heart, and he will never dare to report to the office afterwards."
"The two thieves really moved their minds, so according to my plan, they pretended to help Ma Yingjue harm another good woman for fun, and tricked him out of the city to tie him up."
"It's just that what they didn't expect was that I actually had a murderous intention at that time, and I wanted to send these three shameless thieves back to the West!"
"So I suggested again last night to celebrate before letting Ma Yingjue go, and then secretly poisoned the wine glass, poisoned the two thieves, and strangled Ma Yingjue alive!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing again, and said helplessly: "Although I also thought that the adults might find out the truth, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
After Sun Shaozong heard what he said, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and applauded slowly, and said with a tut tut, "A good story, a really good story, there are three points of falsehood mixed with seventy percent truth. It really captures the essence of storytelling!"
story
Then Li Xiucai finally showed some panic, and smiled stiffly: "Why did your lord say this? The students are dead ends, why do you lie to the lord?"
"Two words."
Sun Shaozong sneered and said: "Shield! You want to shield your comrades, or you want to shield the mastermind of this case!"
"What you just said seems very reasonable, but there are two fatal loopholes in it!"
"First of all, I asked people to investigate, you usually live in a secluded place, rarely interact with people, especially look down on the vulgar rogues hanging around on the street!"
"Since that's the case, how could you possibly hang out with those two people and just happen to hear their biggest secret?"
"As for the other loophole, I initially suspected that there are other culprits behind the scenes, and that is the poison you used to kill the two servants!"
"Colorless and tasteless, it can quickly melt in wine, and it can kill people in a very short period of time!"
"This is by no means comparable to arsenic and other commodities!"
"If you are a rich and powerful master, you can find this kind of poison, but you are just an ordinary poor scholar, and you have only received the ransom for seven or eight hours..."
Having said that, Sun Shaozong leaned forward slightly, stared sharply at Li Xiucai and said, "Tell me, who is the person who is behind the scenes for you!"
