Before dawn, a messy sound of horses' hooves shattered the tranquility of Xinglong Street.
However, the residents nearby have long been used to it. After all, the streets have been in chaos since midnight, and there was no peace at the moment.
Seeing white flags in front of him and many people surrounded by shadows, Sun Shaozong knew that he had reached the place, so he slowed down his horse speed slightly, and said in a loud voice, "I’m Sun Shaozong, the Assistant Prefectural Magistrate of the Central Judicial Office. Who is in charge in front?"
"Magistrate Sun, you are finally here!"

He leaned over and flattered, grabbed the reins, and said, "Just now, the subordinate officer of the supreme guard urged me several times. If you still don’t appear, I really don't know how to reply!"
Since he was regarded as a scapegoat at the Reception Banquet, Zhou Da simply turned to Sun Shaozong in anger. Anyway, he was selected from the minor official who draws up indictments, and he was not a serious scholar himself.
Although Sun Shaozong has not stated his position, it has not stopped him from posing as a lackey under the team.
"The subordinate officer of the supreme guard?"
Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard the speech. When the case was big, it should be handled by Han Anbang, the Governor of a Prefecture. When it was small, it should also be the Minister of the Department, Liu Chongshan who was especially responsible for criminal cases, but how could it fall on Jia Yucun?
Seeing that he frowned and did not speak, Zhou Da vaguely guessed the reason, and hurriedly lowered his voice to explain, "Prefectural Magistrate Jia just moved to this Xinglong Street yesterday, next to Vice Minister Ge’s Mansion."
How unlucky was he! But if he moves here one day late, he’s afraid the case won't fall on him!
Sun Shaozong was a little speechless for a moment, thinking that Jia Yucun was possessed by a declining Go. But he didn't know that the source of this thing was actually in his own body.
Had it not been for his help, Jia Yucun's arrival in the Capital would have been postponed for three or four days, and moving to Xinglong Street would have to wait until the middle of February, he would happen to be staggered from this strange case, which caused a stir for a while and ended in confusion.
Now…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Sun Shaozong followed Zhou Da and hurried to Vice Minister Ge’s Mansion study room, he saw Jia Yucun standing in front of the knocked-open door with his hands on his back. His face was as black as ink, and his eyebrows, nose, and eyes all exuded terrible low pressure. No strangers were allowed to enter his surroundings!
Seeing Sun Shaozong appear, his face showed a bit of joy. Regardless of the presence of Zhou Da, Zhao Wuwei, and the others, he came forward and pulled Sun Shaozong's sleeve, saying excitedly, "My good brother, this time you have to help me no matter what!"
Sun Shaozong could understand his mood. He encounters such a big case by just taking over the post not long as a new official. If he could solve the case, it would naturally be a great scene. But if he didn’t manage to solve the case... He can accept the punishment from the upper management, but the most important part is mainly because he will lose his face and his prestige will be swept away. What capital will he have to compete with Han Anbang in the future?
However, Sun Shaozong has not understood the basic information of this case. How does he dare to boast?
He could only make a solemn promise, "Don't worry, Prefectural Magistrate, I will do my best to find out the truth of this case!"
"That's good, that's good, that's good!"
