Chapter 432: Accidental Emergence
After all, he was still too careless!
After scaring away the troublemakers, Sun Shaozong immediately gathered the people from the arrest house center and others to have a head count. As expected, there was no kitchen helper named Liu among them.
And before his disappearance, Liu had even brought tea to the Junior Monk.
In addition, Sun Shaozong was also keenly aware that the string of red sandalwood rosary beads that the Junior Monk had originally worn on his wrist had also disappeared.
He didn’t need to ask; it must have been the First Master who took the opportunity to bewitch Liu, so he quietly slipped out of the arrest house and spread the news. It was also because Sun Shaozong couldn't make up his mind before and didn't think carefully enough, which gave the First Master a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Presumably, soon after, the monks of Fayuan Temple would arrive upon hearing the news. These monks were different from ordinary people; they were organized, with backgrounds and ideological armed forces, and fighting them would definitely be much more troublesome.
But...
If handled properly, these monks would also be the best audience, able to make perfect witnesses for their plans to change pillars.
Of course, it all depended on the progress of Miaoyu, and if things didn’t go according to his wishes, the child's fate would have to be blamed.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong's face was filled with awe. He gazed at the First Master for a long time before sneering and saying, "Do you know how serious it is to incite the people to besiege the prison?”
The First Master had just seen Sun Shaozong's unparalleled divine power, and at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, upon hearing Sun Shaozong's questioning, he still stood on his neck and said, "I am thinking of all the living beings in the world and taking the action of eliminating demons and defending the way. What is the crime?”
Tch!
This monk was quite righteous.
Sun Shaozong's face was even more ferocious, and he stared straight at the First Master until his feet were soft. He then spoke out and ordered, "Lock these monks in one place, Zhou Da. You can personally watch outside the door, and no one is allowed to approach at will.”
“In addition, gather all the female prisoners in the institute and let them supervise each other. If there is another one who dares to go out without permission, I will severely punish them together.”
Since it was discovered that someone in the arrest house center had leaked the news, Zhou Da's heart was filled with anxiety, fearing that it might affect him. Now, at the command of Sun Shaozong, he had to personally guard several monks to perform meritorious deeds, and he quickly responded with joy.
First, he led several monks to the rest rooms and instructed the prisoners to find any cell they wanted; even if it was for urination, they would take care of it inside the cell.
At this moment, Sun Shaozong called out to Lin Delu again, first demanding the confession of the interrogation and then instructing him to go to the street to retrieve Qiu Yunfei and Zhao Wuwei. He ordered them to lead the government officials to block the street intersections on both sides so that no more people would come and provoke him.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
After everything was arranged properly, Sun Shaozong looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had already revealed half of its face, indicating that the eclipse had also come to an end.
However, the subsequent impact of this solar eclipse might not be easy to pass, especially at the moment when ”there are two rulers,” Emperor Guangde and Emperor Taizong, stand side by side, and it was unknown what kind of trouble would arise in the court as a result.
After a while of sighing, Sun Shaozong moved out the tables and chairs on his own, and in the middle of the courtyard, he read through the confession just now. No matter what the outcome of the child was, a major case of human life was still to be solved.
According to the First Master, this task was not originally his responsibility, but the master of ceremonies was not in the temple, so he took over this task temporarily.
And the four monks accompanying him were all temporarily assigned to him by the master of ceremonies rather than being designated by himself.
So this was how it was.
The suspicion of the First Master has been greatly reduced; after all, it was originally a temporary replacement mission, and the accompanying personnel were not designated by him. The solar eclipse couldn’t be predicted in advance. Thus, carrying a dagger with him and coincidentally having the possibility of killing the Junior Monk was not completely non-existent.
But logically speaking, with so many coincidences stacked together, it was always somewhat farfetched.
And the next focus was, naturally, the actions of everyone in the darkness.
The problem was that, although they couldn’t prove their innocence on their own, he didn’t have any evidence to prove that one of them was the murderer.
Tch!
It seemed that it was still necessary to delve deeper to see if there were any interests and motives for killing among several monks before continuing to make a judgment.
Just as he was thinking of this, he heard the people outside the yard sizzling and shouting.
At first, Sun Shaozong felt a sigh of relief in his heart, but then he furrowed his brows. Originally, he thought it was Qiu Yunfei and Zhao Wuwei had arrived, but upon closer inspection, the sound of horse hooves actually increased.
Only Qiu Yunfei and Zhao Wuwei were qualified to ride horses to patrol the streets among the constable officials, but the hooves of these horses rumble at least more than twenty in size!
Were the monks from Fayuan Temple here?
These guys were ostentatious, with dozens of people galloping into the inner mansion together. Compared to those monks who drove luxury cars to show off their wealth in later generations, they might even surpass them.
Sun Shaozong's heart was full of slander, and he was too lazy to disturb others. He got up and went out alone to welcome them.
Although these monks were aggressive and had organized backgrounds and great support, they held the sign of ”laws” in their hands, and it was not a problem for them to compete with them morally.
As for using force...
With Sun Shaozong's current strength level, as long as the opponent didn’t use remote weapons, a hundred or ten people might not be enough for him to move his muscles and bones!
The only thing to worry about was the prolonged standoff with those monks, which might startle the court. If any big shots from the court came and supported these monks in their demonic defense, Sun Shaozong would have no serious reason to stop them.
But...
Where was Miaoyu? She shouldn’t be delayed for so long.
With thoughts in his heart, Sun Shaozong walked out of the arrest house with his chest high and prepared for a verbal battle!
However, as soon as he left, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the person who jumped down from the horse was not the monks from Fayuan Temple. They were a group of Dragon Guards!
What were the people of Dragon Guard doing here?
Was it that the Town Governor Liu Hui, wanted to use this opportunity of the eclipse to make some big moves?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw one of the Dragon Guards, holding a whip and casually arched his hand. He stared at Sun Shaozong with a sharp stab and asked, "May I ask, are you Inspector Sun?”
This attitude...
It was not respectful.
Sun Shaozong's gaze turned to his shoulder, and he saw that he was just a Deputy of a Hundred Households with three gold lines and one silver line, three levels behind his own Captain of Five Bars.
Reasonably speaking, as an Inspector of a Thousand Households, even a colleague at the same level should be afraid of him for more than three points. However, this person was just a Deputy of a Hundred Households, but his attitude was somewhat rebellious and domineering.
“May I check...”
“Are you from the Southern Detective Department?”
