The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

The main part of the embassy was a big house with six entrances, and an independent garden was attached to the west side. The overall area was very wide. From Sun Shaozong's room to the front hall, the walking distance was around more than three miles.

Sun Shaozong couldn't tell what it was, such as exotic flowers and plants, pavilions, waterfalls, and picturesque ponds and rockeries. But the word "luxury" never escaped his mind. According to his memory, the embassy was specially built by the king of Qian Xiang with a large amount of money. It should be arranged according to the specifications of the palace.

Tch!

It seems that the state of Qian Xiang country was not very rich. At least it was far from that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, it has built such a luxurious embassy with the help of the people. No wonder people say that the state of Qian Xiang country was a loyal dog kept by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Due to the time wasted dressing up, when Sun Shaozong arrived in the living room with his saber, the yard was crowded with at least hundreds of people.

Most of the people standing in the front row were dignified but looked dejected. They should be the actual members of the Great Zhou Dynasty mission, which were also the unlucky people who were about to be implicated and punished. Those standing behind, who were silent but did not show any fear, were the factotum hired by the embassy.

Sun Shaozong first looked around with an expressionless face. It was only then that Feng Xin asked, "Has everyone arrived?"

"Almost all are already here."

Feng Xin smashed his mouth and added, "There is only one missing worker in the kitchen. It seems that his name is Ruan Wenhao."

A kitchen helper? As expected!

Sun Shaozong knew clearly, then raised his voice and asked loudly, "Do any of you know where Ruan Wenhao is?"

Before he finished, a fat man flashed out in the front row and said with an arched hand, "I'd like to inform you, Lieutenant, that Ruan Wenhao asked for leave this morning to go back and deal with some housework. He should still be at home right now."

Left this morning?

Sun Shaozong looked up at the sky. It was obvious that it was already noon. He was disappointed. He’s afraid that it was too late to pursue him after a long time has passed.

"Lieutenant."

At this time, Feng Xin came up and asked, "Lord Niu was assassinated in Ruan's residence. What's the use of looking for Ruan Wenhao?"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him sideways and showed the dirty blood on his right hand. He sneered and said, "Lord Niu was killed in the Ruan mansion, but he was poisoned in the embassy!"

This black and purple dirty blood flowed from Sun Shaozong's mouth and nose.

At first, he didn't examine it carefully because his mind was in a confusion, but later, when Feng Xin mentioned that he might hinder the assassination, he immediately linked this dirty blood with ”crossing” over. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

The real Sun Shaozong had been poisoned by Ruan Wenhao. Therefore, Sun Yi, the transmigrator, was the new owner of this body by reviving his soul with his corpse.

Therefore, he concluded that there must be an assassin's accomplice lurking in the embassy!

And the kitchen helper was undoubtedly a very suitable identity for poisoning. If Niu Yongxin hadn't been given favored treatment, he might not have had to take risks to assassinate him. Ruan Wenhao was more than enough to deal with him.

Feng Xin was not stupid at all. After staring at the dirty blood for a moment, the color of his face turned like a pig's liver, and he shouted, "Screw it. This dumb Wenhao is a spy sent by an assassin. If I happen to catch him, I will tear him up!"

"What are you waiting for?"

Sun Shaozong made a false cut at the gate and gave a categorical order, "Choose 20 smart and capable guards to change into civilian clothes and go with me to catch Ruan Wenhao!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

Seeing his boss' heroic spirit, Feng Xin couldn't help getting excited. With a quick promise, he was ready to go and gather the troops.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, suddenly he remembered that there were still a large number of guards outside the door, and his magnificent spirit immediately vanished. He stammered, "My Lord, there are hundreds of officers and soldiers outside... "

"In our present situation, what is there to be afraid of?"

Before he finished, Sun Shaozong cut off his conversation, pointed out the door with the tip of his saber, and pointed at his feet, "If we can get ahead of Qian Xiang and catch the remaining assassins, you may still have a way to live, but if you continue to stay here, you might have to die!"

As he said this, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "My brothers, would you like to go out with me to make a living, or stay here and die?"

"We're going to break out a way of living with you, My Lord!"

"Yes, let's forge a path out together!"

"Whoever dares to stop me, I will chop him up!"

“Who is willing to die if there is a way to live?!”

Therefore, Sun Shaozong's words echoed all the time. All the guards were inspired by him. They shouted at each other. Some pulled out their sabers and hacked the wind. They looked like they were going to fight with people.

Feng Xin was no exception. He braved the excitement in his heart and ordered 20 people. However, the guards who had not been named refused to stay. They all clamored to go out with him to investigate the case.

Feng Xin couldn't hold them back, so he had to look at Sun Shaozong.

This guy was not capable enough!

If only the squadron captains under his command could cross over with him.

Thinking about it in his head, Sun Shaozong stepped forward and said loudly, "Brothers, although it is important to hunt the assassins down, the embassy can't be left unattended - please keep this home for me!"

Although the guards were reluctant, they reluctantly agreed given Sun Shaozong's strong performance and his superior force.

They went back to their rooms and changed into civilian clothes. Feng Xin led several people to the stables. Soon, twenty-two horses were led to the front yard. Among them was a tall, four-hoofed, dark stallion horse, which was Sun Shaozong's usual mount.

Sun Shaozong was worried that he would not adapt to riding for the first time. Unexpectedly, he turned over and mounted the horse. He was as skilled as he had been practicing riding for more than ten years.

He was so determined that when his legs clamped around the horse's belly, the dark stallion horse raised his hooves and went straight to the corner gate. Twenty-one riders behind him were like shadows!

When he rushed out of the corner gate, he saw that at the corner, a hundred paces away, soldiers were surrounded tightly on the ground inside and outside of the embassy, probably because they heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and all of them were like great enemies, holding their swords and guns up at the same time.

Among them was a middle-aged general with a bright helmet. He shouted, "The general has been ordered by the king to protect the safety inside and outside the embassy. Please return inside as soon as possible, and don't put your whole life at stake!"

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Great Zhou Dynasty, soldiers were launched to occupy the whole territory of the state of Qian Xiang and were stationed there for more than ten years. During this period, the language, measurement, and even customs of the state of Qian Xiang were all forced to be sinicized.

Later, although the Great Zhou Dynasty withdrew its garrison, the traces of Sinicization were not weakened at all. Up until now, almost everyone in the Qinglin mansion could speak fluent Northern Mandarin. On the contrary, the native dialect of his country was almost extinct.

Therefore, the middle-aged general roared, and all the guards heard it. In addition, the dense forest of guns and sword arrays in front of them couldn’t be matched by flesh and blood. Therefore, all the guards were uneasy, and the horse's speed was reduced by nearly half.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong waved his saber in the wind and shouted angrily, "We are envoys of the great Zhou Dynasty. We have been ordered by His Majesty to protect the safety inside and outside the embassy. Now we are going to hunt the remaining confederates down. Whoever dares to stop us will be a sign of despise to our great Zhou Dynasty and our heavenly Majesty. By then, don’t blame this general, I leave no mercy under the sword!"

The face of the middle-aged general suddenly changed color in horror when several big hats were placed on him. Although he was ordered by the king, how could the king of the small Qian Xiang country be compared with His Majesty, the Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom?

If there were to be a conflict, the envoy of the great Zhou Dynasty would have something to do with it. The king won't forgive himself until the Emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty asks for his punishment!

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he became. Seeing Sun Shaozong galloping with his horse and sword, he didn't stop at all. Finally, the middle-aged general gritted his teeth, waved, and ordered, "Spread out and let them pass!"

After saying that, he seemed to feel that such behavior was too humiliating and hurriedly added, "Anyway, the city gate is closed, and they can't run out even if they want to!"
