The weather this winter is really weird.
It was a good night. Seeing that the sky was bright, it was suddenly covered with dark clouds. By the time Sun Shaozong came out of the house, there were scattered light snow.
However, he said that Sun Shaozong yawned all the way to the stable, and saw Liu Quanzheng talking to Zhang Cheng in the grass shed, and his words were rather pleasing.
"how?"
Sun Shaozong raised his voice directly: "Have you been restless for a few days?"
The two of them in the hut were startled, and then Liu Quan hurriedly trotted up to meet him, smiling all over his face: "As expected, I can't hide anything from the second master - Xiaosheng is a cheap man, and he is usually busy inside and out. I don't even know what to do, I feel exhausted after this free time."
It's fake that he's completely weak, and it's true that he is afraid that Wang Jin will take the position of second housekeeper.
After all, some time ago, Wang Jin jumped up and down, but he drew support from many people in the house. Although Liu Quan had his own merits, it was inevitable that he was still a little uneasy.
"It's a good thing to be idle."
At this time, Zhang Cheng also pulled out the carriage that had been prepared for a long time. Sun Shaozong said as he boarded the carriage, "Go to where Butler Zhao is, and see what he has to arrange."
After hearing this, Liu Quan was obviously a little hesitant to speak.
In his opinion, the relationship between the second housekeeper and the big housekeeper is basically a competitive relationship, not a subordinate. Now that the second master has put himself in Zhao Zhongji's place, does it mean that the second housekeeper's affairs are wrong?
However, Liu Quan didn't dare to ask Sun Shaozong in front of Sun Shaozong's full of doubts.
…
The carriage slowly drove out of the corner door, and while he was turning his head around, Zhang Cheng looked back and saw that Liu Quan was still stunned in a dejected manner. The old man, the affection is naturally no better than the other.
Therefore, holding the reins and hesitating for a long time, he finally dared to speak: "Second Master, Liu Quan, he..."
"It's a little off."
Before Zhang Cheng could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong's lazy voice came from the carriage.
Some float
Zhang Cheng thought about it for a long time before pondering the taste. This probably means that Liu Quan is a little bit of a conscientious person.
Think about it, that is indeed the case.
After Liu Quan came back from Nanbian'er, the first thing he said was "The man has handled it with hundreds of thousands of taels of money", and even in front of Butler Zhao, he was dissatisfied.
It seems that because of this, the call for Wang Jin to be promoted to the second housekeeper suddenly grew stronger.
But…
After all, Liu Quan has made a lot of credit, and because of a few big words, the credit will not be rewarded, and I am afraid that I will not feel wronged.
Zhang Cheng struggled all the way, and when he saw the front door of the east corner of Dali Temple, he reined in the reins, jumped off the cab nimbly, and held the snow-proof jacket in his hand, ready to help Sun Shaozong dress neatly.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Sun Shaozong was not seen to get off the bus.
"Second Master, Second Master?"
After shouting twice, but no response, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but lift the curtain and look around, but saw Sun Shaozong leaning on the cushion, as if he was sleeping sweetly.
The second master was afraid last night...
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but make up for it in his heart, but he was in trouble.
If it was a serious day, he would naturally wake up Sun Shaozong, but today the second master has made an appointment with King Beijing, and he is going to the palace for a banquet at noon.
When I came to the yamen this morning, I was just showing my face and answering some errands.
either...
Let the second master sleep in the car for a while
Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng quietly put down the car curtain again, picked up the hand stove that he had just dropped, and dropped his butt onto the cab of the car.
Never thought that before he could sit still, a small official was greeted in the yamen - this person seemed to be Wei Yi's confidant of the local party, and he came forward several times.
As soon as he saw this person, Zhang Cheng didn't dare to neglect him, so he turned around and called out, "Second Master, Second Master! It seems that something has happened in the yamen again!"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Shaozong's sleepy face poked out from the inside, squinted his eyes and surveyed the clerk who was approaching, and then silently retreated.
When he got out of the carriage again, he had regained his usual steadiness and majesty.
"Sun Shaoqing."
The little official gave a salute in front of the car, bowed and said, "Lord Tingwei, please come over to discuss matters."
What the hell is going on here
Didn't the Ministry of Accounts send the money yesterday
I was puzzled, but when I met each other, I always knew that Sun Shaozong didn't bother to ask the little official.
…
Or the flower hall where the morning meeting was held.
But this time, besides Wei Yi, there was a strange man in a fifth-grade official robe who was waiting inside.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, Wei Yi slightly restrained his diligent smile and got up to introduce to the two parties, "This is Hu Changshi from the Zhongxin Palace, and this is the famous Sun Shaoqing of my Dali Temple!"
The long history of the central palace
In Sun Shaozong's mind, Zhou Mo's remains flashed first, and then a fat man like Maitreya Buddha appeared.
King Zhongxin's consistent 'heart-wide-heartedness', he only likes to close his door to rule the king and dominate, especially after the Longgen case, he rarely deals with courtiers.
Why did you send Chang Shi to Dali Temple today
Could it be that some important person died in the house
While thinking about it, Hu Changshi also greeted him with a very low attitude. He bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan Hu Tai has seen Master Sun."
After Sun Shaozong returned the salute, he said bluntly: "The truth is true, I have come here on the order of the king, and I asked Master Sun to go to our house to investigate a robbery case."
"Theft?"
"That's right, this case happened last night..."
But it turned out that early this morning, the servant who was in charge of cleaning the study room of the palace, found that the bookshelf had been moved horizontally, revealing a black hole more than half a person's height.
And this black hole is the private treasury of King Zhongxin's hidden treasures in the palace.
After being checked by King Zhongxin himself, he found that nothing else was moved, and the only night pearl was missing.
At that time, several stewards of the palace suggested that they go to Shuntian Prefecture to report the case and get the thief.
However, Chang Shi Hu Tai rejected such proposals, and instead suggested that Wang Zhongxin should report to the emperor and ask the court to send someone to handle the case.
"Why is this?"
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Could it be that this night pearl has some special origin?"
Although the night pearl is precious, it is not enough to take it seriously and report it to the emperor—unless this night pearl is involved in something other than its own value.
Hu Tai's face flashed with admiration, and then said sternly: "Master Sun guessed right, that night pearl is not among the top three in the private library in terms of value, but it is from the king of Goryeo Kingdom. from the crown!"
This is interesting. Just after the North Korean embassy arrived in Beijing, the national treasure left by the previous dynasty was stolen overnight. If it was said that there was nothing to do with it, Sun Shaozong would definitely not believe it.
But this is blatant, it is said to be blamed, and the method is too rough.
Let's just say it's not to blame, North Korea is too busy to take care of itself, how can it be free to take care of the troubles of the previous dynasty
Thinking about it, Sun Shaozong asked again: "Since he wants to report to the court, why did Hu Changshi come to Dali Temple?"
Hu Tai's expression suddenly became a little weird, he stared at Sun Shaozong for a long time, and then slowly said: "Originally, the prince was ready to report to the court, but he was stopped by the princess - and the lower official came here precisely because The princess recommended Lord Sun to supervise the case."
That concubine of King Zhongxin seems to be... the younger sister of Niu Jizong, right? !
