The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

The night deepened.

As soon as Sun Shaozong entered the hall, he untied the collar of his official uniform.

Ruan Rong, who was leaning on the couch, saw it and said, "Fu Rong, Shi Liu, hurry and help the Master change his clothes!"

Two servant girls immediately came forward to serve.

Sun Shaozong did not say a word but raised his hand to compare himself with his throat. Xiangling, who came in a hurry, quickly offered another cup of cool herbal tea.

Sun Shaozong did everything at once. He then took a long breath and scolded, "Damn it, the soldiers and horses in the five cities are losing their standard. They quarreled for a whole half day and refused to get me another cup of tea."

Xiangling covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will make a big pot of herbal tea for you so that you can take it and have enough."

"Two pots!"

Sun Shaozong casually doubled it, walked over, and laid on the same couch as Ruan Rong.

Ruan Rong, looking at his wilting appearance, was not as vigorous as usual. She could not help feeling distressed and said, "Isn't it just a defense plan? Why have you been quarreling for about six to seven days without any result? I see you are ten times more tired than working in the Yamen every day!"

"Not really."

Sun Shaozong reached out and pinched Ruan Rong's calf. Seeing that it was a little more swollen than yesterday, he kneaded it for her. He said, "I thought I was going to argue with a group of soldiers. However, the top officials on the other side were all old officials, and they picked words with me!"

At this point, he laughed and said, "It's a bit troublesome, but it's better to make it clear to the drum in front of the gong than to play some dirty tricks behind his back. You know, I once offended the son of Captain Qiu."

Before going to the Five Cities Army and Horses Department, Sun Shaozong was worried that Captain Qiu would take revenge himself.

Who knew that after he went there, he didn't even see Qiu Ying. Only a group of Old Officials were there and started challenging him.

"That's true."

Ruan Rong nodded, took advantage of the situation, gave the other leg to Xiangling, and then said with concern, "When will the argument be over?"

"It should be fast."

Sun Shaozong said, "The general direction has been settled. Now it's all about the details. Besides, we have to leave some mercy at last, so that Governor Han and Mashal Qiu can come forward and make a final decision."

"How unfair!"

Xiangling carefully placed Ruan Rong's swollen calf on her knee to massage it, and said angrily, "They didn't have much power, but they wanted to take Master's credit in the end!"

"Who doesn’t want to accelerate? That's the rule in officialdom."

Sun Shaozong responded lazily, meaning to close his eyes and squint for a while.

Xiangling hurriedly added, "By the way, Master, Steward Zhao sent a message at noon that it was the two dragon guards who had been here a few days ago, and they came to the door with a lot of gifts to thank you."

Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian came to thank him?

It seemed that the transfer to the patrol camp was progressing very smoothly.

This was also expected by Sun Shaozong because it was always the elite who were selected from the patrol camp and the city defense camp to join the Dragon Guard and Huben Battalion. When was there a time when the talent in the Dragon Guard would actively join the patrol camp?

Without saying anything else, General Feng Tang of Shenwu would do his best to promote this matter just because of the advantage of increasing his face and making him look better.

After simply thinking about it, Sun Shaozong asked, "Are there any other people who find me beside them? For example, the people of Rongguo Mansion?"

After getting Xiangling's negative response, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but mutter.

It was said that Jia Baoyu has been checking for more than ten days. How could he get no news yet?

Was this guy too stupid to see the flaw, or was there something unexpected in the process of investigation?

"Master."

Seeing Sun Shaozong frowning and pondering, Ruan Rong asked, "Why don't I send Daiyu a letter to ask about the investigation of Second Master Bao? Recently, the Elder Master has sent many supplements, it's a waste if I can't eat all. I'm thinking of sending some to my sister. "

"No need, just send it."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "After all, what she guessed was just speculation. We don't need to tell the truth. I just want to ”watch the fire from the shore”, and I didn't want to get involved in the muddy water of Rongguo Mansion."

Hearing this, Ruan Rong had to give up and let the servant girl go to the kitchen to deliver a message. Prepare some high-quality soup for Sun Shaozong to mend his body tomorrow morning.

Sun Shaozong closed his eyes and squinted for a moment. When he had enough energy, he found Ruan Rong asleep, and there were no maids in the room. Only Xiangling leaned on the foot of the couch, holding a collection of poems in her hand, and was staring at it intently.

Sun Shaozong grabbed the book and threw it on the bed, "What book do you want to read at night? Be careful not to damage your eyes. Go and tidy the inside so that your Sister Ruan can have a rest."

Xiangling answered quietly. She went inside and arranged the bedding. She then came out and made a gesture to Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong then picked up Ruan Rong on his back and carefully sent her to the inner bed.

After waiting for a moment at the bedside, and seeing that she had no sign of waking up, he crept out of the room.

Arriving in the outer hall, Xiangling had climbed onto the couch, bowed her hips like two full moons, and was reaching for the anthology that had fallen between the cracks.

Sun Shaozong scolded her and said, "What are you doing here? Let the servant girls help to take it out in the morning."

Xiangling cried out, protecting her hips and biting her lower lip, and knotted, "I just saw half of that poem. If I don't finish reading it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep soundly all night."

Looking at her tangled and charming appearance, Sun Shaozong immediately put his hand into her arms and said with a smile, "Can’t sleep soundly. It seems that you have been neglected these days..."

As he spoke, he rubbed her curves with both hands.

Not long after, Xiangling was so soft that she was carried to the west chamber by Sun Shaozong. Poetry anthology, does that still matter in this situation?

In the light shadow of the brocade tent, a jade arm was busy shaking, the golden foot was held high, moaning sounds came one after another, and a swallow was mumbling.

The vows of alliance and sea, by her ears, the chatter was in love with the bees, and couldn’t stop…

The next morning, Sun Shaozong drank the soup and asked Zhang Cheng to carry two large pots of herbal tea. He rushed to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department in a manly manner.

Because he was an ”old guest” who often came and went, the soldiers at the gate did not stop him or ask him anymore, so he was allowed to enter this important military area.

Sun Shaozong was too lazy to look for someone to lead him. He knew his way and found the western living room.

When he tried to enter the door, he suddenly felt something was wrong!

According to the usual practice in the past, the subordinates like Lin Delu and Cheng Rixing would come ahead of time to work out the details to be discussed today with the soldiers and officials of the Five Cities Army and Horse Department.

However, at present, it was surprisingly quiet. It seemed that someone was discussing it!
