The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 98: On the Yongding River, the king is more important than the people

Views:

Wang Yan temporarily set up a 'flood control center', which is located in Xuanzhen Temple, a dozen miles northwest of Lugou Bridge.

As for whether he wanted to bless the people on both sides of the river, or whether it was his official position, Sun Shaozong had no idea.

However, he said that he was galloping all the way. Seeing the Xuanzhen Guan, Sun Shaozong kicked off his horse and dismounted. He was too lazy to wait for the announcement. He held the 'flame lacquer bamboo stick' and rushed in, shouting: "The upstream 'Sheep News' is in a hurry! "

It stands to reason that the guards in this Taoist temple are all transferred from the Hedao Yamen, and they should know the rules that the 'Sheep News' cannot stop them.

Sun Shaozong frowned and scolded: "It's all crazy, you dare to stop the 'Sheep News'?!"

"Sir, calm down!"

The patrolling headed by that hurriedly explained: "How dare the villain intercept the 'Sheep News' privately? It's just that there are angels inside, and now they are reading the emperor's decree. If you are allowed to enter like this, it is really..."

Holy decree

Sun Shaozong looked in through the doorway, and saw that there were several dragon guards wearing the 'ink dragon swallowing cloud robe' standing outside the gate of the main hall.

Therefore, he had to stop his footsteps, and cupped his hands to the patrolling: "Then please go and report to all of you - since your majesty sent an angel here, you must also want to know the latest water conditions!"

The few inspectors thought that this was indeed justified, and that intercepting the 'sheep's report' without authorization was a capital offense, so they discussed a few words in a low voice, and then assigned a patrolman to go in and report.

Not long after, I saw three dragon guards coming out with the patrolman. Two of them were still acquaintances. It was Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan who were chasing after the He family's daughter-in-law. A tall and burly middle-aged man.

I saw the man brought Shen and Jin to the front, bowed and said: "Lu Jianxing, the general flag of the Detective Division, I have seen the captain of the capital!"

Saying that, he gave in again: "Master Commander, please come in and speak."

Sir Commander

Sun Shaozong knew who it was when he heard the words, and hurriedly followed Lu Jianxing into the Xuanzhen Temple. When he saw the door of the main hall, he suddenly swept across an acquaintance - the subordinate Ye Xingmao who forced Xu Mingtang to death!

At this time, Ye Xingmao had long since lost his ability in the Hedao Yamen. He knelt on the ground with a unkempt face, and his two palms were tremblingly hanging on his chest. When he looked closely, his skin and fingernails had been stripped away, leaving only two groups of purple and black with blue veins. muscle.

tsk~

It looked like it was obviously peeled off and then scalded in boiling water!

Although in modern times, Sun Shaozong also responded to the call of his superiors to put an end to the abuse of lynching - but seeing Ye Xingmao's tragic situation at this time, his mood can only be described by the word 'happy'.

The footsteps slowed down, and Sun Shaozong asked subconsciously, "Has this fellow confessed?"

"What do you say?"

Jin Yichuan said proudly: "After tasting the craftsmanship of our Detective Division, a few are not good..."

"The third one!"

Lu Jianxing gave a low drink and said with a smile, "You will know when you go in and ask, but this kind of thing shouldn't come from the mouths of the humble."

This is a cautious one.

"The craftsmanship is really good."

Sun Shaozong gave a casual compliment, and then stepped into the main hall. He saw two people sitting in the hall. The main seat was naturally Wang Yan, and the guest seat was Dai Quan, the great eunuch beside Emperor Guangde.

He is the only eunuch who likes to call himself the commander of the Dragon Guard.

"Xiaguan has met Lord Ministry and Lord Commander."

Sun Shaozong rushed forward to meet Wang Yan, and gave Dai Quan a military salute.

"Get up, get up!"

Wang Yan was silent, but Dai Quan smiled and stretched out his hand to help, and when Sun Shaozong got up, he praised again: "Yesterday's 'white elephant sinking corpse case' has been found, and it is exactly as you deduced. , is a juggler who walks the streets!"

Sun Shaozong smiled reluctantly, and, as if unintentionally, switched the lacquered bamboo stick and held it in his hand.

Dai Quan saw it, and immediately slapped his forehead and laughed at himself: "Oh, look at what I'm doing, I almost forgot about my business! Hurry up, hurry up, what is the emergency water situation, and let the family listen to it, too. It's better to go back and report to the emperor."

Sun Shaozong bowed his hands and said loudly: "It was the patrolling who discovered a dammed lake caused by a landslide upstream. According to the brave soldier who passed on the 'Sheep News', the dammed lake may collapse again at any time. The adults and the court should prepare early!"

"Ah~!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a heart-piercing howl coming from the corner. He looked sideways, but saw the 'second-in-command' of the Hedao Yamen, the commander-in-chief of Bei He, pounding his chest and crying loudly: "Twenty Seven years, a full twenty-seven years! Why did Zhao Rongheng catch up with me? God is not fair, God is not fair!"

"God is not fair?!"

Hearing this cry, Wang Yan immediately 'exploded', grabbed the inkstone and smashed it, cursing: "In front of this old man, why are you so embarrassed to complain?! In front of the tens of thousands of people on the South Bank, you What's your face to complain about?!"

The inkstone slammed on Zhao Rongheng's shoulder, causing him to stagger, but as if he had never heard of it, he was still crying there, repeatedly shouting 'Twenty-seven years' and 'God's injustice'. '.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong still didn't know that Zhao Rongheng was the one behind the death of Xu Mingtang

As for the 'twenty-seven years', it refers to the fact that the Yongding River has not experienced a real flood for twenty-seven years - if not, they would not dare to be so greedy for money in the Mohe River at the foot of the capital.

"Do your own sins, yet dare to injustice God?"

Just wondering, I heard Dai Quan sneer: "Zhao Rongheng, it seems that you can't escape from this peeling and adding grass!"

After speaking, he got up and cupped his hands to Wang Yan: "Wang Shangshu, after the Sa family returns to his life, he will send someone to bring the prisoner."

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Yan to respond, he walked away.

Seeing this, the black gauze hat on Wang Yan's head might not be worn for a few days - no wonder he was so angry just now.

Sun Shaozong kept sending Dai Quan out of the mountain gate, and then watched him drive away, and then returned to the main hall again.

Just before he could cross the threshold, he heard Wang Yan's instructions from inside: "Go and notify the Hebei police officer, let him allocate manpower, and escort Zhao Rongheng and other prisoners to the south bank for punishment. It's right on the spot!"

Sun Shaozong waited outside the door for a while, and when the little official who sent the order hurriedly left, he stepped into the main hall. Seeing that there was no one around, even Zhao Rongheng was taken down, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: " Your Excellency really wants to destroy the Nandi..."

"Ha ha."

Before Sun Shaozong could finish his question, Wang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You think only Jia Fucheng knows that the North Causeway is more important than the South Causeway? To tell you the truth, even if I don't do anything here, the South Causeway won't last long!"

Sun Shaozong was silent for a while when he heard the words, and finally folded his hands again and said, "Please ask for orders, and go to the South Bank for prison!"
