The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 124: The Night is Messy

August 30.

Sun Shaozong was in the Government office, but his heart had already flown to the Northern Dragon Guard. Whether Jin Yichuan was the last victim in the blood word case, would be decided tonight!

He finally survived his work time in the office. Sun Shaozong was going to visit the Northern Dragon Guard to inquire about the truth.

But he suddenly received a report from his family that Sun Shaozu had returned to the city to take a rest. He has now set up a banquet in the mansion, waiting for him to go back and drink till they drop.

After a moment's hesitation, Sun Shaozong sent Zhou Da to the Northern Dragon Guard and instructed him to inform him immediately if there was any news.

Back in the Mansion, his Elder Brother waited impatiently and was playing with a newly purchased servant girl at the wine table.

The servant girl was about thirteen or four years old. She was sprinkled with amber wine. The front of her white skirt was wide open, and her green innerwear, embroidered with a mandarin duck, was rolled up halfway. She let his Elder Brother's beard curl up like a steel brush.

Seeing Sun Shaozong come in, the servant girl immediately became flustered. She was determined to struggle, but she didn't dare. Her anxious eyes were red for a moment.

"Big Brother."

When Sun Shaozong saw this, he had no choice but to tease, "Why don't you take away the wine and replace it with two kilos of goat milk? It will save you from wasting your time."

"Haha..."

Sun Shaozu then raised his head and pinched the servant girl on the tip of her heart. He laughed, "You are a full-grown man, but you don't know that a hungry man will always be hungry. I can't play with women in the military camp. I've been vegetarian for more than ten days, and I'm almost suffocated!"

With these words, he still let go of the servant girl.

The servant girl was able to cover her chest and rushed out of the living room like a frightened rabbit.

Sun Shaozu immediately stared at her and scolded, "This unruly little bitch doesn't know how to greet the Second Master! Come on, catch up and beat her up..."

"Forget it, forget it."

Seeing that he was about to turn his back on him, Sun Shaozong hurriedly advised, "It's only been a few days since you bought her. It's inevitable to forget the rules."

"That's why I have to use the whip to keep their memory long!"

Sun Shaozu said, but he ignored the servant girl. He mentioned the wine jar and poured one for Sun Shaozong. He said mysteriously, "Erlang, do you know who fell on Mount Huang that day?"

Last time in the military camp, the two brothers guessed for a long time without getting to the point. But today, his Elder Brother seemed to have heard something.

Sun Shaozong grabbed the wine jar and filled it with one, then said curiously, "Who is it?"

He saw his Elder Brother looking around mysteriously, he then lowered his voice and said, "It's Prince Yizhong!"

The rebellious Lord?

No wonder the Imperial Court initiated the dispatch of contingents of armed men and the mobilization of the masses!

"Prince Yizhong loves to play with these strange and obscene skills. It's said that the cannon he forged in private was more powerful than those used by Shenji Camp!"

"The Western-style glass mirrors sold on the street were made by him at the beginning. They were made by foreigners just to raise the price."

"And our soap, I heard it is also......"

The more he listened to this, the more he felt that Prince Yizhong was a transmigrated person!

But since he was a transmigrated person who lived as a prince, why did he live like this?

"It's said that His Majesty desired to pass the throne to him at the beginning, but this Prince Yizhong is too good at causing trouble. All the Officials in the Court are worried that he will exhaust all resources that his ancestor has built on military power after he succeeds to the throne, which will damage the foundation of his ancestors. Thus, they support His Majesty, so..."

Exhaust all resources that one has built up on military power?

To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Prince Yizhong would overthrow the pattern of valuing literature over martial arts after he succeeded the throne!

Sun Shaozong was not surprised that Prince Yizhong would have such an idea. It was perfectly normal that ordinary people would look down upon these old bureaucrats when they suddenly ascended to high positions and never experienced the polishing of officialdom.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of the old bureaucrats.

The Emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, it's not just empty talk.

Fortunately, this guy failed. Otherwise, Sun Shaozong, who had offended him, would have gone into exile forever.

The wine and the feast were over.

Sun Shaozong stumbled back to the back house. He originally wanted to go to the main room and have a private talk with Ruan Rong. But when he asked, Ruan Rong couldn't beat her tiredness and had already gone to bed.

So he went to the west wing for Xiangling instead.

He collapsed inside the tent, which has a symbol of a mandarin duck, and threw off his boots. At once, two small hands were wrapped up, and his feet were put into a basin of warm water.

Sun Shaozong looked drowsily drunk and saw that it was not Xiangling who waited on him but a servant girl called Ying'er. He struggled to get up, grabbed Xiangling's little hand, and looked at it carefully.

At the same time, he asked vaguely, "How many times have you been poked today?"

Xiangling wants to break away, but how could she?

She smiled and said, "Not many times. I just want to finish embroidering the handkerchief."

"What about after embroidering? I guess your hand will be tied into a sieve before you finish embroidering the handkerchief."

As Sun Shaozong said, he simply took her into his arms and muttered, "Since you have heard from your family, you should be happy. Why are you so restless all day?"

"I... My mind is in a mess as soon as I am free."
