Holding the stone support the size of a grinding plate aside, Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand to grab the bluestone slab at the edge, and was about to use his strength to jump out of the secret passage, but suddenly felt a coldness on the back of his hand turning into water.
Snowing
Sure enough, when I came out of the secret passage, I saw snowflakes fluttering in the sky, but the ground was still clean, and it was obviously just starting to snow.
Sun Shaozong moved the big rock back to its original position, looked up at the gray sky, and let a few snowflakes melt on his face. The icy cold touch instantly lifted his spirits.
There are still a lot of things to deal with today, so naturally you have to cheer up.
Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong didn't get confused. He carefully observed behind the rockery and made sure that no one came in blindly. Then he opened the courtyard door and walked out.
On the way to the front hall, he stopped a servant, and was about to instruct the other party to call Zhao Zhongji over to speak, when he suddenly remembered that he had been sent to deal with Zhang An's funeral in the past few days.
So he changed his tune temporarily and ordered: "Let the concierge king go into the front hall and wait, and say I have something to tell him."
The little servant was too busy to respond, and went flying along the veranda.
When Sun Shaozong arrived at the front hall, Wang Jin had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Sun Shaozong entered the hall on his own and took a seat on the main seat. Only then did he face Wang Jin, who followed respectfully, and said, "The beggar's guardian, Hong Jiu, do you remember?"
Although Wang Jin was a little puzzled, how could his second master suddenly bring up a beggar, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Every time that guy comes to the door, he is waiting in the hall, little one. People have spoken to him a few times."
In fact, Hong Jiu took the initiative to greet Wang Jin with a smile every time he came to the door, but Wang Jin ignored it.
"As it is."
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "Go to Shanxi Lane for a walk immediately, and ask Hong Jiu to wait near Dali Temple for the past two days. I may be able to use him somewhere."
Usually these errands were conveyed by Zhao Zhongji, but now that the second master personally came forward to entrust it, Wang Jin did not dare to neglect the slightest, so he first found someone to temporarily take over the errand of the concierge, then went to the stable to ask for a mount, and hurried out of the corner gate.
…
At the same time, Zhongshun Wangfu.
King Zhongshun, who had always liked to stay in bed, woke up early this morning for the first time in history, but he didn't care about getting dressed and washing up, pacing back and forth with his bare feet in the warm pavilion covered with Persian carpets.
Seeing him like this, Orchid, who went to bed last night, didn't dare to dress neatly, and was draped in very simple fabrics, and shivered twice.
Half of it was scary, and the other half was in pain.
Yesterday, King Zhongshun fully demonstrated what it means to not take the usual path. It is good to keep three mouths in the shape of 'pin' and not use them, and to use instruments to rectify people.
After this night, not to mention the thin skin and tender flesh on his body, even the soles of his feet were bruised a few pieces, stepping on the ground was like being tortured, and he had to stand on tiptoe from time to time to relieve the pain.
So King Zhongshun walked like the wind, and the two orchids rose and fell, each busy, and they did not interfere with each other for a while.
However, this strange harmony was soon broken.
"My lord."
A maid of about fourteen or fifteen years old crept into the hall and reported, "Zhou Changshi is back."
"This dog actually knows to come back?!"
King Zhongshun gritted his teeth and cursed, then pulled Bai Shengsheng's fleshy arm and ordered, "Get out of here for this king, and call Zhou Mo in again!"
The two orchids were amnesty, hurriedly took the clothes, shoes and socks from the bedside, put them on their bodies indiscriminately, and fled with the little maid in embarrassment.
One of them lost a boot and dared not look back to pick it up.
King Zhongshun didn't bother to pay attention to them, he sat back on the soft slump, gritted his teeth with luck.
Not long after, Zhou Mo came in from the outside, first turned over and knelt down with a thud, then walked forward on his knees, and said sadly, "The servant should be damned, that Daoist Yanren is not... gone!"
"what?!"
Hearing this, King Zhongshun abruptly stood up from the soft slump, and the layers of fat on his lower abdomen trembled violently because of this, and his eyes were hot like three waves of Yangguan.
Barefooted, he walked in front of Zhou Mo in a few steps, lifted Zhou Mo up from the ground, and pressed him word by word: "What happened to Daoyan, say it again!"
Zhou Mo saw the coldness on his face, and immediately a head of white sweat broke out in shock. He subconsciously turned his eyes away, and then said in a trembling voice, "Shen Daoyan, he... he ran... ah!"
Before Zhou Mo could finish his words, King Zhongshun kicked him in the face with a kick, only knocking Zhou Mo down on his back and bleeding from his nose.
But King Zhongshun didn't ask for anything. He forgot that he was not wearing shoes, and he kicked it with all his strength. Zhou Mo's front teeth knocked on the sole of his foot, and it felt like he was piercing his heart when he stepped on the ground.
However, the pain made him calm down a little bit. He stood on tiptoe and asked coldly, "Didn't I ask you to send more people to keep an eye on him? How could someone suddenly disappear?!"
"The villain did send someone to monitor him, but this morning when he went to find him, he was already in the empty building, and those who were following him didn't notice anything strange!"
Hearing these words, King Zhongshun's face became more and more gloomy, he limped on one foot, and slowly sat back on the soft slump.
Mistakes, really missteps!
As early as when Yang Han was arrested, he should have disposed of the Taoist priest—but he was greedy for the elixir of immortality, and left him obsessively.
But who would have guessed that Sun Shaozong would dare to report to the palace of the imperial brother, even though he was given the title of refining the secret recipe for begging for his son
But fortunately, apart from Daoyan himself, no one knows what kind of medicinal herbs he practiced this time—even Daoyan himself always thought he was refining medicines in the emperor...
Considering the relationship between the emperor's brother and himself, and the fact that only a few beggars died, it's probably only three drinks of fines, but not the next one.
Thinking of this, King Zhongshun calmed down a little.
The most important thing at the moment is that this matter must not be escalated, otherwise Emperor Guangde will be forced to cry and kill Ma Su!
Thinking of this, King Zhongshun immediately ordered: "You dog should get up first!"
Zhou Mo was used to his moody appearance, but he didn't dare to stand up like this. Instead, he knocked his head on the ground again, and said in a loud voice, "Small sins deserve ten thousand deaths..."
"okay!"
King Zhongshun said impatiently: "What's the use of talking about these things now? Why don't you bring all the people together, go and find out that Daoyan!"
Having said this, he solemnly warned: "Remember, you must see corpses in life, and people in death!"
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he understood that he was not saying the opposite, but that after he was silenced, the corpse was brought back - in short, there was no trace left.
Since he had to use himself to hunt down Daoyan, he thought that his life should be saved.
Next week, Zhou Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly swore and swore that he would not fail the prince's trust this time.
After reassuring, he bid farewell to King Zhongshun. He gathered more than 100 strong men in the mansion. In the name of the king, he sent a message to the commanders of the city defense camp, the governor of Shuntian prefecture Jia Yucun and other officials, and ordered them to assist in arresting the thieves. The 'thief Taoist' who walks the secret treasure of the prince.
Not to mention how Zhou Mo was busy outside.
However, after Wang Zhongshun waited for him to leave, he remained silent for a long time with a sullen face, and then he slowly spit out a sentence: "Since you yourself said that you deserve death, then this king has no choice but to fulfill you."
