The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 255: Deliberate Deception

Phew~

Holding his nose and pouring half a bowl of medicinal soup into his stomach, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but exhale a long, warm breath.

Upon returning from the street, he felt sore all over, with a dry throat and a lack of breath. Now, even his head was in a daze. Apparently, he caught a cold.

He didnt know if the prescription prescribed by the famous doctor of Jinmen Mansion would work

"Brother Sun."

While smacking the strange smell in his mouth and thinking wildly, Xiang Yi picked up the curtain, frowned, and said, "It has been a while now, but there's still no movement at the Chief Political Officer's place. Do you think we should go and urge..."

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop his words and rubbed his temples helplessly, saying, "Brother Xiang, we haven't had much contact with that Zhou Ruqing. It is not difficult for the two of us to take him down. However, if we want to save those women completely, we must rely on Vice Governor Lin to come forward."

Whether it was his knowledge of Zhou Ruqing or his bargaining power, Lin Tao, as a Political envoy, was clearly the best person to negotiate with. Moreover, to keep his official hat on his head, Lin Tao would definitely go all out.

In fact, Sun Shaozong has already talked to Xiang Yi about this truth before.

"That's right, but..."

However, Xiang Yi still hesitated for a moment, and he still approached Sun Shaozong and whispered, In case Vice Governor Lin has colluded with Zhou Ruqing...'"

Before Xiang Yi finished speaking, there suddenly came a murmur of footsteps outside, followed by Jia Shanyao's reprimand, "Who are you? How dare... You... You... You..."

In the first half of the sentence, Jia Shanyao still had a somewhat condescending arrogance, but in the second half of the sentence, his voice became sharp and trembling, like a young widow who had been sexually abused.

The two people in the room exchanged puzzled glances, and Xiang Yi strode out to see what was happening outside.

However, just as he reached for the curtain, someone outside grabbed the curtain and rushed in.

"You... You You..."

When he bumped into this person, Xiang Yi immediately contracted the same problem as Jia Shanyao. After a long time of sharp and trembling you, he suddenly blurted out, So Lin Tao and you are indeed birds of the same feather!"

The person who entered the door was dressed in a large red official robe with a gray beard and elegant features. He was the Governor of Zhili, Zhou Ruqing!

Outside the door, more than 20 officers and soldiers have already squeezed Jia Shanyao and others into a corner!

They were finished!

It was all over!

Brother Sun fought for his life to stabilize the situation. However, he didn't expect to end up with a bad move in chess and mistakenly trusted the thief, surnamed Lin!

Xiang Yi thought like this, but on second thought, he felt that the longer he was caught in this situation, the more he couldn't lose the integrity and character of a scholar!

So he straightened his chest and put on a face that said, I'm not afraid of being crushed to pieces, I want to remain innocent to the world. He spat hard and cursed, Shameless old thief, don't you want to..."

"Brother Xiang."

Who knew that before he could finish his sentences, Sun Shaozong said softly behind him, Since the Governor has let those women go, why don't you let him in and let him say his last words?"

Released those women alone?

His last words?

Xiang Yis mind couldn't process for a moment, let alone understand why he could never complete his lines, but out of trust in Sun Shaozong, he obediently let go.

He saw that Zhou Ruqing walked slowly to Sun Shaozong and sat down. He sighed slightly and said, How do you know that I'm here to say my last words, Lord Sun? Aren't you afraid that Lin Tao will collude with me and kill you?"

Sun Shaozong chuckled, pointed to his nose, and said, "I killed at least sixty or seventy people today, it shouldn't be too much to say that I have a fierce reputation, right? Those who are enemies of me now and dare to appear within ten steps of me, except those who are not afraid of death, are doomed to die."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and said, "Either way, since you have entered this room, you are naturally here to say your last words!"

Zhou Ruqing looked at him for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "The second biggest mistake I have made in my life is to underestimate you. Otherwise, I would have been sailing on the East Sea by now."

His speech was obviously recognizing the words his last words!

Xiang Yi listened and couldn't help but question, "Since Lord Lin hasn't been in the same boat with you, why did he let you go about freely? And... still allowing you to dress up so neatly!"

Not only was he neatly dressed, but Zhou Ruqing looked like he had just taken a bath, with his bright red official robe flowing all over his body, and he was feeling refreshed from his first-class silk.

"Allowing me to go?"

Zhou Ruqing seemed to have heard some jokes and laughed a few times, then straightened himself out and said solemnly, I am the Governor of Zhili, the head of the World Governor's Government. Why do I need him to let me go?"

Xiang Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he only felt that his words were extremely absurd, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute them.

At this moment, Zhou Ruqing pulled out a memorial from his sleeve and casually handed it forward, saying, "This is a memorial that I drafted together with Vice Governor Lin and Magistrate Wang. Please also have a look and see if there is anything wrong with it, Lord Sun."

Sun Shaozong hadn't moved yet, but Xiang Yi grabbed it with a split hand and turned his eyes to scan the ten elements. However, the more he looked at it, the angrier he became. Finally, his whole body trembled with anger and blood filled his pupils!

"These are just a bunch of nonsense!"

He angrily rebuked, lifted the memorial above his head, and was about to throw it hard on the ground. However, Sun Shaozong extended his hand and said, Brother Xiang, may I?"

Xiang Yi had to stop the momentum and resentfully handed the memorial to Sun Shaozong. But he was still not relieved and reminded him, "The absurd remarks above are really shameless. Brother Sun should only make jokes about it. Don't get angry and hurt yourself when reading."

Sun Shaozong took a close look at his hand and found that the various statements inside were indeed shameless and absurd!

First of all, in this memorial, the mastermind who was about to defect to the sea today became the dead Chief Provincial Judge Hu, while Zhou Ruqing was intimidated by him and had to pretend to be on his side.

As for the intention to hijack the North Korean envoy, it was not mentioned in the entire article.

Not only that, but the previous battle on the street with one hundred enemies has also become a secret message from Zhou Ruqing. Sun Shaozong, who was among them, only took credit for fighting bravely and taking the lead!

The following conversation turned into a monologue by Zhou Ruqing, expressing that although he was temporarily obsessed with wealth, he would never dare to abandon the Imperial Court and become an outsider, a lonely soul, and a wild ghost.

In the end, he asked the Court to punish him severely to warn the World Governor of their determination.

What a good way to turn black and white upside down and what a good method to make a deliberate deception!
