Chapter 124 The Night is Messy
August 30th.
Sun Shaozong was in the government office, but his heart had already flown to the Northern Pacification Office - whether Jin Yichuan was the last victim in the bloody case would be revealed tonight!
After finally waiting for the court to be dismissed, Sun Shaozong was preparing to go to the Northern Pacification Office to find out the truth.
But suddenly he received a report from his family that Sun Shaozu had returned to the city for a rest, and a banquet had been set up in the mansion, waiting for him to go back and get drunk.
After a slight hesitation, Sun Shaozong sent Zhou Da to the Northern Pacification Office, waiting for any to inform him immediately.
When he returned to the house, his cheap eldest brother was already impatiently waiting and was playing with a newly bought maid by the wine table.
The maid was about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her arms were full of amber wine. The front of her moon-white skirt was wide open, and her mandarin duck green bellyband was half rolled up. She let her cheap brother's hairy face beard rub against her like a steel brush.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in, the maidservant suddenly became panicked. She wanted to struggle but didn't dare to. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
"Brother."
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "Why don't we take away the wine and replace it with two kilograms of goat milk? That will save you from wasting your efforts."
"Ha ha……"
Sun Shaozu then raised his head, pinched the maid's chest, and laughed: "You are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. It's not convenient for me to play with women in the military camp. I have been a vegetarian for more than ten days. I am almost dying of suffocation!"
Having said this, he still let go of the maid.
The maid was able to cover her chest and rushed out of the living room like a frightened rabbit.
Sun Shaozu immediately glared at her and cursed: "This unruly little bitch, she didn't even say hello to me when she saw me! Come on, catch up with her and beat her up..."
"Forget it, forget it."
Seeing that he was about to turn ruthless, Sun Shaozong hurriedly advised: "It has only been a few days since I bought it. It is inevitable that I forgot the rules for a while."
"That's why we have to use the whip to teach them a lesson!"
Sun Shaozu said, but ignored the maid, picked up the wine jar and poured a glass for Sun Shaozong, and said mysteriously: "Erlang, do you know who fell on Wuhuang Mountain that day?"
Last time in the military camp, the two brothers guessed for a long time but couldn't figure it out. But judging from the look of things today, it seems that the eldest brother has heard some news.
Sun Shaozong grabbed the wine jar and filled it for him, but he asked curiously, "Who is it?"
The cheap elder brother looked around mysteriously for a few times, then lowered his voice and said, "It's Prince Yi Zhong!"
The rebellious prince?
No wonder the imperial court mobilized such a large army!
"Prince Yi Zhong loves to tinker with these ingenious techniques. I heard that the cannon he forged privately was even more powerful than the one used by the Shen Jiying!"
"The Western-style glass mirrors sold on the street were made by him. He pretended that they were made by foreigners just to raise the price."
"And the soap we use at home, I heard it's also..."
The more I listen to this, the more I feel that Prince Yizhong is a time traveler!
But since he was a time traveler and started out as a prince, why did he end up like this?
"I heard that His Majesty originally favored him, but this Prince Yi Zhong was too troublesome. The officials in the court were worried that he would engage in excessive military expansion after he ascended to the throne and ruin the foundation of his ancestors. Therefore, they overwhelmingly supported His Majesty, so..."
Warmongering?
To put it bluntly, they are just afraid that after Prince Yi Zhong ascends to the throne, he will overturn the situation that emphasizes civil officials over military officials !
Sun Shaozong was not surprised that Prince Yi Zhong had such an idea - it was normal for an ordinary person who had suddenly ascended to a high position and had not experienced the trials of officialdom to look down on these old bureaucrats.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated the power of the old bureaucrats.
It is not just talk that the emperor and the scholar-officials rule the world together.
Fortunately, this guy failed, otherwise Sun Shaozong, who offended him, would have to be exiled overseas forever.
The wine and the feast were over.
Sun Shaozong staggered back to the backyard. He originally wanted to go to the main room to talk to Ruan Rong in private, but when he asked, he found out that Ruan Rong could not hold on any longer and had already fallen asleep.
So he went straight to Xiangling's west wing.
He collapsed into the mandarin duck tent and threw off his boots. Immediately, two small hands as warm as jade wrapped around him and led his feet into a basin of warm water.
Sun Shaozong took a drunken look and saw that the person serving him was not Xiangling but a maid named Ying'er. He struggled to get up, grabbed Xiangling's hand without saying a word, and looked at her carefully.
At the same time, he asked vaguely, "How many times did you get the injection today?"
Xiangling wanted to break free, but how could she move?
I could only smile and say, "Not many times. I just wanted to finish embroidering the handkerchief."
"Finished embroidery? I guess your hands will be pierced like a sieve before you finish embroidering the handkerchief."
Sun Shaozong said, and simply pulled her into his arms, whispering to her, "Since you have news about your family, you should be happy. Why are you so restless and distracted all day long?"
"I...my mind is in a mess whenever I have some free time."
Although Xiangling did not say it explicitly, Sun Shaozong knew that she was "homesick".
There had been no news for more than ten years, and I had been thinking about all the good things about my family. But once I got the news, I became worried and afraid that the tragedy would happen that my children would want to take care of their parents but they were no longer around.
Sun Shaozong had said so many words of comfort in the past two days, but now he was too lazy to say anything more.
He lowered his head and pecked the silver ingot-like earlobe, then said with a smile, "How about I work overtime tonight to keep you busy for a while?"
Hearing him say such words in front of the maid, Xiangling's face immediately turned red with shame. Her plump yet tight body twisted around in Sun Shaozong's arms unwillingly, which instead aroused his evil fire.
Under the influence of alcohol, he didn't care that there were other people in the room and started to fight without restraint.
When he was in high spirits, even his feet would not rest, splashing water around Ying'er's chest.
When Ying'er finally washed and dried the feet, her front was wet. Seeing that the two feet were still not letting her go, she had no choice but to squat in front of the bed, not knowing whether to retreat or move forward.
"You...go down first."
Fortunately, although Sun Shaozong was drunk, Xiangling was sober. When she had some free time, she hurriedly gave the order.
Ying'er then hurriedly walked outside with the foot basin in her arms. With one foot in the door and the other out, she heard the sounds of spring coming from inside.
She closed the door tremblingly, leaned against the wall, held her heart, and eavesdropped for an unknown period of time before she went outside to pour out the foot washing water as if she was walking on cotton.
Snap~
Just as she had emptied the water in the basin, a stone suddenly fell not far in front of her. Ying'er was so frightened that she let out a low cry and looked around hurriedly, but there was no movement at all.
As I was wondering, I suddenly found a piece of paper wrapped around the stone!
