The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Make her surrender?

Sun Shaozong couldn't tell if it was a joke or a genuine desire to give him a romantic gift.

Speaking of the absurd nature of Prince Zhongshun in his daily life, this wonderful performance of ”making her surrender” naturally would require him to call on friends and gather around!

Even if Sun Shaozong didn’t mind performing ”training” in front of people, Prince Zhongshun was still a standard double plug. If he would get turned on and wanted to train him…

Eww~

After all this imagination, Sun Shaozong felt a chill all over him.

It was just that…

What Prince Zhongshun was currently saying was ”please” help him to make the prostitute surrender.

If he refused directly, wouldn't he not give him face?

Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment and bowed in the envious gaze of Zhou Mo, saying, "The Lord has given orders. I shouldn't have refused, but this prostitute of yours is tall and strong. In a hurry, I am not sure if I can tame it. If Your Highness can allow me to bring it home and tame it, I will…”

“Hahaha.”

Before Sun Shaozong could finish speaking, Prince Zhongshun patted the woman's buttocks in his arms and burst into laughter, "You are cunning; I’m just giving you a try. Do you still want to deceive my prostitute back?”

After laughing for a long time, he regained his lazy tone. He casually asked, "I heard that in the Wangjiang Tower, Qiguan received my oral edict, but intended to disobey and disrespect. I wonder if this is the case?”

Sun Shaozong managed to muddle through and just breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his heart to his throat again.

To be honest, there was suspicion of betraying Jiang Yuhan.

But if he were to cover it up for Jiang Yuhan, Zhou Mo would be on the side, watching intently. Could he listen to his nonsense?

He didn’t dare to hesitate for too long in this dilemma.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Shaozong gritted his teeth, he bowed again and said, "Actually, I was just in time to find the culprit as soon as possible. That's why I advised Brother Jiang to slow down for a moment. As for disobeying your orders, he never dared.”

“Is that right?”

Prince Zhongshun playfully uttered, and after passing through the thick clouds, they became even more elusive.

Sun Shaozong was on tenterhooks for a long time before he heard him saying quietly, "The more favored you are, the more you should listen to your master's greetings. Even dogs know this truth, but how can anyone always be confused?”

The problem was that, after enjoying countless favors and scenery, Jiang Yuhan might not even be willing to treat himself like a dog!

Sun Shaozong roasted in his heart and listened to the lazy question of Prince Zhongshun asking, "Zhou Mo, have we identified almost all the people in our Mansion?"

Zhou Mo's heart moved and he immediately bowed and said, "Report to Your Highness that the servants from all levels in the mansion have been verified and identified, but the theatrical troupe has not been included in this verification due to its special circumstances.”

“Since the entire household has been investigated, it's not bad to add another theatrical troupe," said Prince Zhongshun calmly.

This was equivalent to handing over the power of life and death from the theatrical troupe to Zhou Mo!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo was naturally overjoyed and eagerly responded. He rubbed his hands and wanted to take the opportunity to give Jiang Yuhan some lessons.

“Erlang of the Sun family.”

Arranging the matter of knocking on Jiang Yuhan, Prince Zhongshun then turned his attention back to Sun Shaozong and said calmly, "In the blink of an eye, it was not easy to find the culprit. I will reward you.”

After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "I'll give you two ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells.”

The giver would never forget to advertise, and he was putting in a lot of effort to make money!

However, this was a godsend opportunity. Originally, Sun Shaozong didn't know how to take the lead and brought up the matter of ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells,” but now it was quite simple.

“Your Highness.”

He immediately said with a straight face, "In my opinion, this ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells” is absolutely untouchable. It is reasonable to ask the court to issue an order to ban it.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but sit up straight and frown, questioning, "What do you mean by this?”

Sun Shaozong immediately said, "Report to Your Highness; according to my investigation, this matter is a conspiracy planned by the ”Hu Merchants,” intending to deceive the savings of the people of our Zhou Dynasty with flashy and unreal things.”

“If they really succeed, I don't know how many good families there will be, and as a result, their families will perish.”

Upon hearing these words, Prince Zhongshun's two eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he stared at Sun Shaozong for a moment without a word.

On the other hand, Zhou Mo couldn't bear his temper and quickly jumped out and scolded, "How could Lord Sun repeat such nonsense? Just a mere plaything, how could you talk about the destruction of one's family? Besides, if they really lose their ambition by a plaything and even the destruction of their family, how can they be considered a family of good deeds?”

After a pause, he said again, "If according to your statement, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, even cultural and antique works, as well as opera and acrobatics, has no one ever been obsessed with them to the point of being ruined? Is it possible that according to your opinion, all of them must be explicitly prohibited by the court?”

Zhou Mo's words were both quick and urgent, with a murderous aura. They really meant to cut off people's financial paths, like killing their parents. It was estimated that he also secretly hoarded a lot of golden shells.

“Lord Zhou misunderstood.”

After several days of contemplation, Sun Shaozong had already sorted out the matter, so naturally, he wouldn't have messed up the situation due to his cunning arguments.

Therefore, he said calmly, "Although all the things you mentioned are beneficial and only harmful when it comes to harm, they are far less serious than the ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells.”

“Is that right?”

This time, Prince Zhongshun finally couldn't help but speak up, and with a somewhat angry sneer, he said, "Then I will listen to your high opinion.”

Seeing the appearance of Prince Zhongshun, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but beat his drum. Although Sun Shaozong had been targeting those ”unnecessary” Hu Merchants, according to the style of Prince Zhongshun, if he got angry, he might not care who he was targeting!

But now that the arrow was pointing to him on the line, it was already too late to retract.

Furthermore, Sun Shaozong's courage to speak up about this matter was also based on the statement of Prince Zhongshun, which was still in his ears. It was not easy for him to immediately turn back, was it?

Therefore, Sun Shaozong still put on a calm demeanor and jokingly said, "This is just a bit of my foolish opinion, and there is no high opinion. In fact, this ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells” was originally just an ordinary plaything, but the various methods used by the Hu Merchants to elevate its value recently have bestowed it with extraordinary disasters.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo immediately wanted to refute it.

Sun Shaozong refused to allow him to interrupt and then seized the opportunity to say, "Those ”Hu Merchants” sold a small number of golden shells to promote this item, and then created the illusion that this item rose day by day. It seems that as long as people buy ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells,” they can sit back and get rich.”

“To give this illusion and a justifiable reason, they even fabricated a complete theory.”

“And the people are the most fond of pursuing profits, and it is human nature to enjoy leisure and hate work. It's only enough to buy and sell this item twice at a time. If people often profit from buying and selling it and hear about its preciousness, is there a reason why they don't flock to it?”

“If the ”Hu Merchants” take this opportunity and sell the large amount of gold shells they have accumulated at a high price, they will definitely be able to plunder a lot of people's wealth.”

“However, the momentum of this day's rise is, after all, a false impression created by the Hu Merchants. After they achieve their goal and withdraw from the incident, the price of the '”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells” will lose its support, and it is highly likely to plummet.”

Sun Shaozong said this and secretly looked around, but saw that Prince Zhongshun and Zhou Mo didn’t have much reaction. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that Prince Zhongshun had already anticipated the consequences, but he just didn't care.

After a brief pause, Zhou Mo quickly interrupted with a roar and said, "Lord Sun, you are too worried about the sky, are you? The golden shell is a rare and festive object; how do you know it won't continue to rise?”

“This is exactly what I am most worried about.”

Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly, "If the Hu Merchants leave, the price of the golden shell will quickly plummet, and the losses to the people may not be too much.”

“But if the enthusiasm of the people for this item does not subside and instead continues to drive up the price of the golden shell, it will inevitably involve more people.”

“At that time, the influence of this ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells” may expand to a level that even the initiator may not dare to believe.”

“But after all, shells are just shells. When some people finally realize that these useless things cannot match the exaggerated skyrocketing price, this castle built by ”pottery, pearls, gold, and shells” will inevitably collapse.”

“Things that were originally priced lower than gold will quickly become worthless.”

“How many people will be ruined by this matter?”

“Two or three thousand? Four or five thousand? Or tens of thousands?”

“And let's not say it's ten thousand people; even with just three thousand, I'm afraid it's also a big disaster.”

Sun Shaozong let out these words in one breath, especially the thousands of numbers, which finally made Prince Zhongshun and Zhou Mo change their color.

Prince Zhongshun was still frowning and pondering, but Zhou Mo couldn't help but scream, "Sensational, you're clearly sensational! Just a mere plaything... How could a mere plaything... How could it…”

Although he tried his best to deny Sun Shaozong's words, halfway through, he clearly lacked confidence.

“Sun Shaozong.”

For the first time, Prince Zhongshun called Sun Shaozong's name directly and leaned forward slightly. He pushed the upper body of the woman next to him into the water, but the woman only dared to raise her head as hard as she could, let alone call for help. She didn’t even breathe in the air.

“What is the basis for your speculation just now?" Prince Zhongshun asked in a deep voice.

Sun Shaozong respectfully said, "This matter is purely due to my deliberation. If we discuss the basis, it is only a matter of speculating about the people's hearts. However, a Vassal must guard against the slightest danger. As long as there is a possibility of endangering the country, I should remind the court and His Majesty.”

After a pause, he added, "Your Highness has always been loyal to the country, and I believe you will also be able to appreciate my thoughts.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhongshun's face darkened a bit and he stared at Sun Shaozong intently for a while.

Until the woman next to him was about to drown, he suddenly lazily laid back and calmly ordered, "I will report this matter to His Majesty on your behalf. You should focus on managing the Criminal Department.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand like a fly.

Sun Shaozong let out a deep sigh of relief and quickly bowed down, saying, "I will obey your orders and go back to rectify the prison now.”

As he spoke, he arched his hand at Zhou Mo, then took seven or eight steps back before turning around and heading away.

“Your Highness…”

After watching Sun Shaozong leave, Zhou Mo couldn't help but exclaim angrily, "We have been planning for a long time, and we are about to close the net. Is it because of his nonsense that we have to give up this great opportunity?”

Prince Zhongshun didn’t even glance at him and then waved his hand in the wind.

Zhou Mo had no choice but to withdraw angrily.

When only a few naked women were left around, they heard Prince Zhongshun sigh, "The more favored you are, the more you should listen to your master's greetings…”

When he said this before, it was full of the authority of the superiors.

At this moment, there was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness.

After a while, Prince Zhongshun suddenly kicked the panting maid into the wine pool and cursed angrily, "I can't believe the fairy tale of the bird in the cage!”
