The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

When Liu Luanwei led Sun Shaozong to the front living room, he saw that it was cold and quiet, without a hint of fireworks. There were only two high-ranking officials in red robes sitting at the banquet without saying a word.

The one who turned red to purple was naturally Cabinet Scholar Xu Furen and the other was not a stranger either. It was Xu Liang, the Left Attendant of the Ministry of Justice, who had presided over the ”Immortal Powder Special Rectification Meeting.”

This time, Xu Furen was responsible for taking the overall picture and truly leading the investigation team, which was Sun Shaozong and Xu Liang.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Liu Luanwei hesitated a bit, but Sun Shaozong didn’t show any hesitation. He stepped over the threshold and arched his hand, saying, "Greetings to Cabinet Xu and the Left Attendant.”

Liu Luanwei had no choice but to follow in and salute.

After the two of them had seen each other, Cabinet Xu waved his hand and calmly signaled that they didn't need to be polite.

On the other hand, Xu Liang was full of hope and asked, "Governor Sun, I wonder if you have ever found any clues?”

“For this…”

Sun Shaozong was pondering how to use his words and phrases, only to hear a faint sound of footsteps coming closer. Then he saw a young eunuch guarding the secret room appear outside the hall door.

“Report to Cabinet Xu, the offending woman, Li-Shi, has vomited several times since the afternoon. Just then, when the maidservants tried to feed her, she vomited a mess again.”

The sharp voice only made Cabinet Xu's face tense, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Has that criminal woman ever had diarrhea besides vomiting?”

As expected, he was the master of aging and becoming refined, and he immediately caught the key difference between food poisoning and vomiting during pregnancy.

Although Xu Liang slowed down for a while, upon hearing Cabibet Xu's question, he suddenly realized it and locked his gaze tightly on the eunuch.

“This has never happened.”

The eunuch shook his head and said, "She just vomited and didn't have any symptoms of diarrhea.”

Attendant Xu's face turned pale and he lowered his head to ponder.

Cabinet Xu frowned but seemingly casually glanced at Sun Shaozong before raising his voice and asking, "Besides, what else happened when you were guarding the secret room?”

This time, it was the young eunuch's turn to sneak a glance at Sun Shaozong. However, seeing the presence of Sun Shaozong being as stable as a chair, he hesitated for a moment and remembered speculation about ”the order from above.” So he didn’t dare to mention that Sun Shaozong had gone in twice, and both times he had experienced Li's vomiting. He only shook his head and said, “Apart from this, there has been no other abnormality.”

Cabinet Xu was also silent, like a pair of clay and wood sculptures with Attendant Xu, with only two pairs of eyes shining brightly.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong turned his gaze to Liu Luanwei, as if expecting something or silently urging him.

Liu Luanwei only felt a heart thumping wildly, and now he finally understood the meaning of Sun Shaozong's “give it a try”* encouragement!

This damn monkey has created such a heinous scam, but he refused to take responsibility and instead wanted to deceive himself into going through fire and water. it was really vicious!

Indeed, if this massive lie could block the mouths of the public, as the person who ”spies through” this matter, it would naturally be a top priority.

But what if this absurd and bizarre scam was punctured?

Wasn’t he going to be punished even more?

Besides, if this skill was so easy, wouldn't all three people in the hall have already spoken it out?!

No matter how much it seemed, this business was not worth it, so Liu Luanwei secretly cursed Sun Shaozong for being malicious while shrinking his head like a turtle and avoiding Sun Shaozong's gaze.

However…

“Magistrate Liu.”

After Sun Shaozong fixed his gaze and there was no effect, he spoke calmly and said, "I wonder if your family is in the mansion? If they are in this mansion, you might as well go back and reunite with your family first, so as not to suddenly have a decree passed down and not have time to say goodbye to your family.”

What a vicious guy!

Liu Luanwei's already pounding heart almost popped out of his throat!

At first glance, this might not sound like a big deal, but it was clear that he was using his life as a threat!

He was in a state of anxiety here, and Cabinet Xu calmly said, "At least it's also a showdown between the superior and his subordinate. Remember to go and see the Crown Prince first.”

If Sun Shaozong's threat were to be mentioned, there was still a possibility of false threats. Cabinet Xu's mouth almost nailed Liu Luanwei to the gallows!

At that moment, he was in a fierce battle and almost collapsed to the ground.

And that was not the end of it yet.

Attendant Xu's usual slow pace was half a beat off, but he was much more ruthless than the first two. He sneered with a slanted eye and said, "You don't necessarily have to meet your family. The case has not yet been fully resolved. If Magistrate Liu is found to be involved in it, you will inevitably have a scene of family reunion.”

This was actually about to plagiarize his entire family!

Putong~

After receiving a ’critical, combo, and fatal strikes,” Liu Luanwei finally collapsed to the ground with his knees flaccid.

“Why?!”

Who on earth did he provoke?!

Liu Luanwei wanted to jump up and loudly scold, exposing the devilish tactics and malicious thoughts of the three people in front of him!

Not to mention, he was just a guilty person right now. Even during normal times, it was not difficult for Cabinet Xu, Attendant Xu, and Sun Shaozong to work together to kill all the people in his family!

No matter how hard he tried to argue, he was afraid it would only be a futile outcome.

The only thing that could change the situation was...

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

Liu Luanwei almost cried in a mournful voice and said, "As I said... Perhaps... Maybe... Maybe... She’s... She’s pregnant.”

After finally spitting out the words ”pregnant,” his forehead was already covered in fine sweat.

Hiss~

The three people in the hall took a cold breath together, all with a look of ”shock” on their faces.

Sun Shaozong was even more incredulous and questioned, "Magistrate Liu, please be cautious. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? That criminal woman bit off the dragon root of the Crown Prince, but now she is pregnant with the dragon bloodline of the Crown Prince. Even in street dramas, I dare not make up such a strange story.”

Be careful, you bastards!

You clearly caused all this!

Liu Luanwei's heart was filled with frenzied slander, hoping to pounce and bite Sun Shaozong to death. However, since he had already boarded this pirate ship, he could only grit his teeth and walk into the dark.

So he trembled and said, "Dear Lords, although I am not sure if Li-Shi is pregnant, in the months before the incident, the Crown Prince did indeed favor Li-Shi multiple times and didn’t allow her to drink contraceptive pills.”

As he spoke, Liu Luanwei knocked heavily on the ground and said, "This matter is closely related to the unification of the Zhou Dynasty. Even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, you adults should be cautious in dealing with it.”

“Your words are very reasonable, Magistrate Liu.”

Upon seeing Liu Luanwei preaching, Sun Shaozong immediately bowed with a dignified voice and said, "Please make a decisive decision and quickly verify the truth. We must not lose the bloodline of the state or destroy the foundation of the Zhou dynasty due to a moment of carelessness.”
