The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Watching Miaoyu's receding figure, Sun Shaozong's heart itched and was unbearable for a while.

Others were unaware, but he knew that Miaoyu would never give up on stopping the fire to burn the arrest house just for a few words of persuasion. Based on her relieved expression, he inferred that Wei Ruolan had probably secretly sent the child out of the arrest house!

Although it was uncertain whether Miaoyu pleaded with Wei Ruolan for help, Wei Ruolan discovered her actions and took the initiative to assist Miaoyu in saving the child.

But right now...

What a great opportunity to settle with Wei Ruolan!

As long as the ”emergency filing” was activated, he could be charged with deceiving in minutes!

At that time, even if he can’t let the Wei family lose power, at least excluding him from the Criminal Department wouldn’t be a problem.

But…

Sun Shaozong still couldn't break through the bottom line, just watching Miaoyu leave the door of the arrest house. Of course, being able to come up with this idea was enough to prove that he was increasingly lacking the bottom line.

Was it possible that the relationship with Jia Yucun has improved recently, so he has been infected again by him?

“Your Excellency.”

Just as he was about to take his gaze back from the courtyard door, he saw a swarm of Yamen servants rushing in from outside, led by Qiu Yunfei and Lin Delu.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qiu Yunfei exclaimed, "You really caught me off guard. There are indeed some maniacs who want to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and I took them out on the spot.”

During his speech, he realized that many Dragon Guards were standing in the courtyard, which was somewhat inexplicable. Sun Shaozong had already welcomed them and loudly ordered, "Lord Lin, please immediately gather the people around you outside and remember to ask them to bring their water buckets.”

Qiu and Lin were stunned again. Didn't he say to block the people from approaching? How can they summon people again in the blink of an eye?

They then heard Sun Shaozong's explanation, "That demon mother and son have already passed away, but the First Master of Fayuan Temple said that this place has been infected with evil spirits. Although gathering the power of the Monks of Fayuan Temple can suppress this evil spirit, how can we leave a hidden danger here since we are guarding one side for the court?”

“Therefore, I have decided to follow the advice of Master Jienian and set fire to this house arrest along with the evil and lecherous nuns to avoid causing harm to the people around the public.”

“The expenses required for the reconstruction of the arrest house after the incident are all allocated from the reward bonus accumulated by the Criminal Department, and no waste of state-owned funds or even a little public wealth will be allowed.”

“And by asking you to invite nearby people to come over. Firstly, I want to invite fellow villagers as witnesses, and secondly, I want to avoid any further fire caused by carelessness.”

This remark angered the two of them, Jienian and Chu Liang, who had heard it directly. They proposed to burn the courtyard, originally to hit Sun Shaozong's face, but unexpectedly, he turned around and took the opportunity to gain fame!

Unfortunately, this arrest house center was indeed the place where Sun Shaozong was in charge. Therefore, although they were angry, they couldn't come up with a suitable reason to question and refute this statement.

Just as they were suffocating, Lin Delu had already heard the meaning of the words and immediately bowed down and said, "Your Excellency is indeed noble and virtuous, loving the people like a son! I will not forget to inform the people nearby.”

As he spoke, he hurriedly led someone out of the arrest house and went everywhere to promote Sun Shaozong's noble and upright sentiments of loving the people like a son.

After Lin Delu and others left, Sun Shaozong asked Zhou Da to take the remaining personnel and bring Jiechen and others back to the Yamen for trial.

After everyone had almost left, he turned around and smiled. "I am on official duty, so it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time. If you have any instructions, you may as well entrust them to Assistant Magistrate Wei.”

As he spoke, he left the arrest house without taking the opportunity to bite Wei Ruolan back, but he was not interested in staying to help Wei Ruolan clean up the mess together either.

Speaking of the arrest house center, Sun Shaozong looked at the sky and hesitated whether to call Sun Chengye directly to return to his residence. However, a crisp voice came from the corner, "Master Sun, please stay.”

Looking through the sound, who else could it be if it weren't Miaoyu?

He saw her standing gracefully in front of the carriage, dressed in borrowed coarse cloth clothes, but it was hard to conceal her proud demeanor.

Even if Sun Shaozong was not very interested in this fake nun, he couldn't help but feel a sense of beauty. How can she be a nun? At the same time, he raised his voice and asked, “Are you waiting for Lord Wei?”

Unexpectedly, when Miaoyu saw that he didn't come forward, she quickly walked over and bowed deeply, saying in a respectful voice, "I didn't know your compassionate heart before. There were many conflicts, so please forgive me.”

If she didn’t know what he was calculating, 80% of this greeting would turn into spitting on her face, right?

Sun Shaozong thought with a hint of self-deprecation, but his face was not false at all. With a straight face, he raised his voice and said, "Thanks for your praise, Nun Miaoyu. Since I am guarding the court's territory for the sake of the people under my rule, what's the pity of burning down a small arrest house center?”

This statement was not the same as what Miaoyu thought in her heart.

Although Miaoyu was an idiot, she was not stupid. After a moment of contemplation, she understood Sun Shaozong's caution, so she smiled apologetically and whispered, "It was me who was reckless. Please rest assured that I will strictly abide by the rule of not spreading it out.”

After a pause, she said seriously, "Even if Lord Wei asks, I will never mention your name.”

Sun Shaozong really didn't care what she said to Wei Ruolan. But he was curious about what she thought when she ventured over the wall before. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

So with a calm face, he whispered, "When you climbed over the wall and replaced the baby, you should have seen the Dragon Guard at the door, right? Do you know that you almost committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor just now?”

Miaoyu smiled slightly and said calmly, "As long as I can live up to my true intention, why bother with the crime of deceiving?”

This answer…

It was really stylish.

However, Sun Shaozong looked down on others the most, so he pursued, "So how can you be sure that the child is definitely not a demon that has emerged? If it harms the people nearby, how should you deal with it in the future?”

Sun Shaozong knew clearly that the child's knowledge of tooth growth was due to excessive absorption of calcium, leading to early development. However, how could Miaoyu, a fake nun who had been growing up in a temple since childhood, have such knowledge?

So Sun Shaozong was curious before; how could she be certain that this child was not reincarnated as a demon?

Who knew that Miaoyu remained silent for a moment after hearing the words and then calmly said, "Even if that child is truly a reincarnation of a demon and is one of these beings before committing a crime, how can he be executed without teaching him because of the karma he has not yet committed.”

Great.

What a statement in the spirit of the rule of law!

As a former Criminal Police Officer, it was reasonable to say that Sun Shaozong agreed with both hands.

However, if it could really be confirmed that the child was reincarnated as a demon, he would probably cut it to death without saying a word. Although he has not yet committed any evil, who would know if there would be any relatives or friends among the people he would kill in the future?
