Chapter 741: Cheap as Grass
This time, we have made quite a bit of progress.
However, it is still unclear whether there will be more discoveries in the future. We can only wait for the people below to do the hard work.
Considering that there might not be any breakthrough in a short period of time, Sun Shaozong wondered whether he should solve Wei Ruolan's case first on his way back to the Dali Temple.
Otherwise, if the long-legged princess can't wait any longer and mistakenly thinks that she has taken advantage of the situation and refuses to admit it, then both sides will be destroyed. Wouldn't that be a case of excessive joy leading to tragedy?
Tsk~
I really shouldn't have been so obsessed with this.
But if he could really hold back, why would Sun Shaozong have so many women in his house?
It is said that it is difficult to be an honest official.
There are too many temptations in this world, and there is only one person who can be as upright as Hai Rui - at least Sun Shaozong himself could never be so impartial.
Even since crossing over, this willpower has become weaker and weaker. I can't control my mouth, and I can't control my legs. I really feel ashamed of the education our party has given me over the years...
"Second Master."
Just as he was letting his mind wander as usual, Zhang Cheng, who was driving the car in front of him, suddenly reported in a low voice: "The man in front seems to be the thief from Tongde Hall!"
The thief from Tongdetang?
What is that?
etc!
Could it be...
Sun Shaozong was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly realized - when Xia Jingui set up the honey trap, didn't she lie that she was 'Li Jinzhi, the eldest daughter of Tongdetang'?
And this so-called thief from Tongdetang was most likely the soldier who came with Princess Beijing as her dowry.
This guy appeared near the Dali Temple. Could it be that what he said was true, that the long-legged princess couldn't wait any longer?
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked: "Where is the person? On the left or on the right?"
Hearing Zhang Cheng say "left", Sun Shaozong hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked back - he was in front just now, but while he was talking, the carriage had rushed dozens of steps away, and naturally the man had been left behind.
As expected!
When he looked over, he saw the Chinese character that he had tricked out in the first place, with a loyal look on his face, stretching his neck to look over here.
And the place where he was was exactly the flower shop where Xia Jingui was yesterday.
Before he could take a closer look, the carriage had already reached the crossroads. Zhang Cheng slowed down and asked in a low voice, "Second Master, do you want to turn back?"
"No need, let's go back to the government office and take care of the business first."
Zhang Cheng then turned the carriage and slowly stopped outside the east corner gate of the Dali Temple.
" Master !"
As soon as Sun Shaozong got off the carriage, he saw a judge from the temple coming out to greet him. He bowed and said, "I have been waiting here for a long time."
When Sun Shaozong heard the word "by order", he immediately thought of Wei Yi - he didn't want to have anything to do with the case of Daoyan and his disciples; but he was very concerned about the case of the Ministry of Revenue!
I'm afraid you've been obsessed with money for a long time, right?
Sun Shaozong secretly complained in his heart, but since Wei Yi wanted to hear about the progress of the case, he had to go over to meet him - especially since he did find some clues this time, so he was not without something to say.
So he followed the judge and came to the flower hall where the morning meetings were usually held.
Wei Yi had been waiting eagerly inside for a long time. When he heard that Sun Shaozong had finally arrived, he did not care about the usual conflicts between the two and went out to greet him.
"Sun Shaoqing!"
He asked with a burning gaze, "Have you found any clues about Lu Jijian's case?"
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
Sun Shaozong bowed slightly and said, "Although we haven't identified the real culprit, we have made some progress."
After hearing this, Wei Yi became more eager to hear the details, but Sun Shaozong stopped talking.
Wei Yi opened his mouth to urge him, but suddenly came to his senses, quickly moved his hand inside, and invited Sun Shaozong into the flower hall.
The two of them sat down as host and guest, and Wei Yi diligently filled the cup of tea. Sun Shaozong then told him all the clues he had found today.
When Wei Yi heard this, he already knew the appearance of the two thieves and knew that one of them had a scar on his arm, so he couldn't help but become excited.
Then he said resolutely: "Sun Shaoqing, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. In my opinion, we should issue a warrant for arrest and post notices all over the capital to arrest these two thieves !"
This guy obviously thought the same as Chen Jingde, thinking that the young son of a commoner family could not be as important as a major case in the Ministry of Revenue.
But in front of him, Sun Shaozong didn't feel comfortable talking about the hostages. After all, although people often say that human life is of paramount importance these days, in many cases the lives of ordinary people are as worthless as grass.
He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If it were a normal day, it would be fine - but now the Criminal Law Division of Shuntian Prefecture is in a state, your Excellency should know, right?"
"And Daxing County is missing the clerk in charge of investigating the case, and Wanping County is missing the backbone of the county magistrate. If we want to rely on the local government to find the whereabouts of the two thieves, I'm afraid..."
At this point, Sun Shaozong paused for a moment, and when Wei Yi frowned unconsciously, he continued, "Instead of alerting the enemy, it is better to conduct a secret investigation first. I have ordered people to guard the city gates tightly. If we can't find out the truth in the end, it won't be too late to post a notice to arrest him."
After listening to Sun Shaozong's eloquent words, Wei Yi knew that he was far inferior to him in this respect, so he gave up the idea of posting a notice to arrest the criminals. He just kept urging Sun Shaozong to solve the case as soon as possible to prevent those lawless and unscrupulous businessmen from causing trouble on the eve of the Wanshou Festival.
Hehe~
Among the suppliers of the Dali Temple, how many were not signed after Wei Yi took office?
He took a lot of benefits in the beginning, but now he is full of profiteers...
After bidding farewell to Wei Yi with disdain in his heart and coming out of the flower hall, Sun Shaozong originally wanted to send someone immediately to investigate Wang Erhu's interpersonal relationships before his death to see if the two bad guys could be screened out.
But after thinking about it, I'm afraid it won't be safe enough no matter who I entrust it to.
Just like Huang Bin's tracking and surveillance, this matter can only be carried out quietly. Otherwise, once the two murderers are alarmed, it would be a small matter of alerting the enemy, but the most troublesome thing would be threatening the safety of the hostages.
Could it be...
Are we going to ask for foreign help again?
But this always involves connections with external personnel and is likely to attract criticism, and is not conducive to Sun Shaozong's taking root in the Dali Temple.
Therefore, if internal screening is possible, it is better to select from within the Dali Temple first.
After thinking for a long time, Sun Shaozong finally remembered someone - Wang Biao, a ninth-rank prison warden.
After several encounters with this guy, I think he's quite smart and knows how to handle things properly, but I don't know if he has any experience in criminal investigation.
perhaps……
Can we give him a pre-job assessment first?
However, this assessment must be postponed. At least until Xia Jingui and the long-legged princess are dealt with, then we can concentrate on testing Wang Biao.
After making up his mind, Sun Shaozong first went back to the Zuosi government office to get some things that had been prepared long ago, and then hurried out of the yamen.
