The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

After the shout from outside, the living room suddenly became as silent as death!

Jia Shanyao's spine softened, and he almost threw himself onto the ground again. Then he jumped up like a monkey and said urgently, “My Lord, I don't think it's suitable to stay here for a long time..."

"Shut up!"

Sun Shaozong stopped him and waited for the shouting Xiang family servant to come in. He carefully inquired and made sure that there were only about twenty soldiers gathered at the gate of the Yamen and that they had not carried firearms or crossbows. His heart was relieved.

No one would think that, given his reputation, just a few twenty officers and soldiers could subdue him unless he bragged about himself.

Moreover, when Jia Shanyao and his four subordinates rushed over, they should have passed by the Governor's Mansion. If Zhou Ruqing really intended to deal with Sun Shaozong, he wouldn't have been unaware that there were five more Dragon Guards here!

But since they were not here to arrest them, what would be the purpose of these soldiers?

Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is the house of the other embassy of the Korean delegation also in this direction?"

"That's right. That's where the other houses are..."

In the middle of Jia Shanyao's reply, his heart was already in a flash, and he said happily, "Yes, most of these soldiers and horses were going to arrest the North Korean envoy! If it weren't for the presence of the North Korean envoy, Lord Zhou wouldn't have been forced into a desperate situation. Now that they are going to raise the flag and rebel, naturally, the barbarian son surnamed Li will sacrifice first!"

Revolt with flags?

This Jia Shanyao was really capable of pondering.

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes secretly and said, "It's not a troubled time right now, and this place is not the border beyond the Great Wall, far away from the Emperor. Relying on two hundred soldiers and horses to rebel, it's better to hang your neck on the flagpole and die happily!"

The reason why Zhou Ruqing sent someone to another museum was not to kill Li Enxian but to take him hostage so that he could take possession of the three Korean warships.

With the help of firearms, bows, crossbows, and these three large warships, Zhou Ruqing would be able to cross the sea!

He might be able to still go to the southeast coast and share a cup of soup with the Japanese invaders!

Moreover, once he kidnapped Li Enxian, and even if there were any accidents, he could step back and act as a shield.

But this wasn’t the most serious matter!

If Zhou Ruqing really wanted to succeed, the Court would be shamed, and needless to say, it would be difficult to predict how the Koreans would react.

If one were to think about it further, the neighboring foreign countries were already ready to move. If there was a chain reaction due to this matter…

No!

He couldn’t let this Zhou be allowed to act recklessly!

Sun Shaozong quickly asked again, "Will they pass this inn when you go to the other houses?"

"That's not necessary."

Jia Shanyao extended his arm outward and gestured, "There is a T-junction not far from here. Where do you turn north..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Sun Shaozong came forward and tore off the saber from his waist, and then, like the wind, rushed out of the door.

The crowd was puzzled, and they heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside!

Not to mention how the people in the inn reacted, Sun Shaozong rode on Jia Shanyao's mount, hid the single sword in his cloak, and rode straight to the Governor's Mansion with a whip.

As soon as he saw the T-junction, he saw that nearly half of the twenty soldiers had turned the corner.

Without saying anything, Sun Shaozong urged the horse to catch up. Several soldiers behind him heard the sound of the horse's hooves and looked back in disbelief. They saw him show his teeth with a faint smile. With his right hand, he clattered out a single sword, sweeping past like a horse training!

Now that he has decided to use force to solve the problem, he wouldn’t tolerate it!

He used horsepower, and Jia Shanyao's saber was not mortal. With just one sweep, it was like cutting melons and vegetables and cutting off three Chiefs!

The blood in that cavity was still raging, and the confused head was still flying in the air, but Sun Shaozong had already urged the horse to crash into the crowd, flipping up and down with a single knife in his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he had reaped five or six more lives!

This team has only about 20 people in total. How could it withstand such slaughter?!

The remaining soldiers either stood transfixed on the spot or cried out for their father and mother as they scurried around. Only the person who was the leader had some courage and pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "He's only one person, as long as we stick together..."

Before the roar was over, half of his left shoulder, together with his head, fell to the ground!

"Kneel to avoid death!"

Sun Shaozong gave a sharp growl before urging his horse to rush toward the scattered officers and soldiers.

But no matter how fierce he was, after all, he lacked skill in his own body. After killing six people and capturing two, there were still four or five who escaped.

Sun Shaozong saw that he couldn’t catch up with them, so he simply drove the two prisoners away and returned to the inn in the same way.

This was a clear day, and the heads of the people who were cut off in the street were rolling, which couldn’t be hidden from the eyes and ears of ordinary people. Therefore, the pedestrians on the road escaped completely. Only behind the doors and windows, and above the courtyard wall, a pair of curious and frightened eyes appeared.

Since no one dared to approach, Sun Shaozong naturally wouldn't waste his time on the way, so he interrogated the two prisoners as he walked.

Those two people had already been scared out of their wits, otherwise, they wouldn't have listened to Sun Shaozong's roar and just knelt to beg for mercy.

At this point, hearing him ask, they naturally didn’t dare to deceive him at all.

So when they arrived outside the inn, Sun Shaozong knew everything he wanted to know.

The result could only be said to be ”extremely pessimistic.” Originally, Sun Shaozong was also thinking that if the soldiers in the Governor's Office were kept in the dark and didn’t know Zhou Ruqing's plans, it might be possible to use this to disrupt the military morale of the other party.

However, after questioning, Zhou Ruqing had already made a statement to his soldiers at noon today.

This team of soldiers was already fed with silver by him, and they often participated in various violations of the law and discipline, and they all knew the principle of both prosperity and loss.

Therefore, except for a few people, the vast majority of them responded to Zhou Ruqing's myth of "Escaping overseas and confiscating territories."

Zhou Ruqing didn’t embarrass those who refused to comply but ordered them to be temporarily imprisoned in the backyard, saying that they would be allowed to leave freely after they set off to sea at night.

When soldiers saw Zhou Ruqing being so loyal, they even felt that he was treating them with kindness and was a worthy ”Lord” to follow. They had originally been ambivalent, but only because they were afraid, they agreed to set off to the sea, adding a bit of willingness.

Since then, Zhou Ruqing has been urging people to take strict precautions, while he has also obtained many young women from the Chief Provincial Judge Yamen, announcing that the predecessor could be played by his brothers in turn before night…

"They had already started?!"

"This is not yet the case, because several of us have been ordered to trick the North Korean envoy into entering the urn. Captain Ge Yan personally promised that he would divide them... Divide the women again when we come back."

Sun Shaozong was relieved. If more than a hundred innocent women were humiliated because he couldn't help them, it would be really…

However, this was not quite the same as his previous speculation. Should it be that Zhou Ruqing was not prepared to provide those sailors with a layer of insurance before setting sail?

"Those boat runners? Captain Ge Yan said that when the brothers finished tasting the soup, they would give them some leftovers. Later on, everyone will also be ”brothers in the same boots,” so they can take care of each other when they reach the sea."

Damn!

These petitions were also divided into three, six, and nine levels, and the relationships were close to each other!
