After Sun Shaozong came back from Jinxiang Courtyard, he first looked for his Elder Brother to inquire about the identity background of Qiu Yunfei. Strategically, he can despise each other, but tactically, he still needs to know himself and the enemy.

Speaking of the background of this white fatty, first of all, he would like to introduce the establishment of the Garrison in the Capital. The more than 100,000 imperial guards defending The Capital are roughly divided into four battalions and one guard. The four battalions refer to the Huben Camp, the Shenji Camp, the Chengfang Camp, and the Patrol Camp respectively. The one guard refers to the Dragon Imperial Guard directly under The Emperor.

Putting aside the Dragon Imperial Guard, among the four camps of the imperial guards, Huben Camp is the most important, followed by Shenji Camp and Chengfang Camp and the Patrol Camp is the last place side by side. Qiu Yunfei's father was originally the Commander of the Chengfang Camp, which is similar to the identity of the Great Conjuring General Feng Tang.

Last winter, due to the vacancy of the Commander of the Huben Camp, the two families fought against each other. In the end, Commander Qiu was the winner. He was promoted to the Commander of the Huben Camp. He also served as the Deputy Commander of the five cities' army and horses department and became a veritable supreme government official in charge of military affairs.

It was for this reason that Feng Ziying was dissatisfied two days ago, he provoked a quarrel and violently hammered the Qiu Yunfei, which was called ‘revenge for his father’.

Knowing the cause and effect, and comparing with his disposal at that time, Sun Shaozong became calmer and calmer in his heart.

So after returning to his small courtyard, he had to tell Ruan Rong the happenings in Jinxiang Courtyard as an interesting story.

However, when Ruan Rong heard that Xue Pan was drunk and talked nonsense and wanted to give his beautiful concubine a handshake, she blurted out, "How can The Master refuse his sayings? This can help Sister Xiangling to avoid being ruined by him!"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong was speechless, reached out, and poked a finger on her forehead. He is at a loss whether to cry or to laugh and said, "Big Head Xue is just drunk and speaking nonsense. It’s fine just listening to it, how can you take it seriously? Besides, how can you take the initiative to accept women around your husband?"

Ruan Rong also knew that she had made a slip of tongue and spit out her tongue playfully, but she still couldn't help saying, "If it was for other women, even if the master insisted on taking her home, I'm afraid she'll have to pass my level first. But Sister Xiangling is really pitiful. She’s honest and does not go beyond her duty. If she can be rescued from the suffering, what’s the big deal to let you have it once?"

With that, she brought together the gossip she heard from Daiyu.

It turned out that this Xiangling was originally a daughter of the wealthy. Unfortunately, she was abducted by human traffickers when she was five years old and was sold to the Xue family as a slave when she was twelve or thirteen years old. Her life experience was so tragic, but she didn't complain at all. She was warm-hearted all day and always had good intentions toward others.

When Ruan Rong speaks here, she couldn't help sighing, "To put it in a good way, she is Xue Pan's step-mother of the concubines. In fact, she is just a servant girl. The Overlord is also a person who doesn’t care. He always makes trouble every few days, and I don’t know how much pain Xiangling has suffered normally."

As she was saying this, she felt a big hand on her lower abdomen and rubbed it like dough.

Ruan Rong blushed and hurriedly hit Sun Shaozong's claws away and spits, "Hey~! Don't try to provoke me during this broad daylight!"

"What did you think of?"

Sun Shaozong was “innocent on the face” and said, "I just thought that you might be pregnant. Otherwise, how can you see a child who is motherless and starting overflowing with your maternal love."

Although the word ‘overflow with maternal love’ sounds fresh, the inner meaning is simple and easy to understand.

Therefore, Ruan Rong immediately jumped on his body and made a mess of Sun Shaozong. When the two people had ‘fought’ to have hormone reactions, how will they still care about whether the sky is black or white, day or night? They rolled into two meat worms on the bed as early as possible, squeaking and tossing, until the moon was in the sky!

Because they missed dinner time, they didn't bother to get dressed and get up again. They ate some snacks casually, called the nannies to bring the bath bucket, simply washed up, and then went back to bed to hug each other and sleep.

When they slept until midnight four o'clock, they heard the sound of the mountain smashed at the gate of the courtyard, and there were bursts of cries, "Second Master, Second Master! Get up quickly, something serious has happened!"

Sun Shaozong sat up straight from the bed and listened to it for a moment. He vaguely recognized that the voice was from the old housekeeper, Uncle Wei, so he hurriedly got up and pulled on his outerwear, and shouted outside, "Did you guys sleep to death? Don't you open the door to the old housekeeper quickly!"

At this time, Ruan Rong had also woken up from her dream and was sleepy, so she planned to get up and serve Sun Shaozong to dress and groom.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her soft body and pushed her back to the bed, "Take a rest first. I’ll ask what it is about, it's not too late for you to get up again."

With that, he put on his boots carelessly and hurried to the Outer Flower Parlor.

When he arrived at the Flower Parlar, he saw that the old housekeeper was still scared and panicked and Sun Shaozong immediately felt nervous. He wondered whether it was his big brother who had committed some crime with royal law and was found out by the court?!

Thinking of Sun Shaozu's extravagant spending in ordinary times, it's possible!

In his heart, Sun Shaozong was uneasy, but on the surface, he was still calm and asked with a smile, "Uncle Wei, what's the matter to bother you to come and call for me so late in the night?"

"Second Master!"

The old housekeeper said anxiously, "Someone from the Yamen said that Ge Qingfeng, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Public Affair, suddenly died at home. They ask for the Second Master to hurry there to investigate immediately!"

"Oh, I thought what a big deal it is?"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong immediately put his whole heart back in his stomach and said with a smile, "That Vice Minister Ge Shilang is neither related to us nor an old friend. Does it worth being so nervous about his death, Uncle Wei?"

"Second Master!"

Wei Licai saw that he was not regarding it seriously and hurriedly said, "That's a formal Six Department Hall Official. Now he suddenly died, and there must be a statement! In case the case can't be solved, I'm afraid..."

Although the old housekeeper didn't make it clear, Sun Shaozong also understood that he was probably afraid that he would be a scapegoat by accident, so he smiled and comforted, "Uncle Wei, don’t mention other things. But for solving cases, I still have some experience with it."

"Sigh, if it's a general case, Second Master will naturally capture an enemy easily, but in this case..." the old housekeeper hesitated for a while, and then said, "This case is caused by the Haunt of the Heavenly Hound. Where can you find the real murderer?!"

“Haunt of the Heavenly Hound?”

No wonder the old housekeeper was just in a state of shock. The case involved ghosts and gods!

According to the old housekeeper, when Vice Minister Ge was enjoying the cool breeze in the back garden during the summer 2 years ago, his toes were foolishly bitten off by a Shih-Tzu. After that, Vice Minister Ge flew into a rage, ordered all dogs in the family to be executed, and strictly ordered the whole family not to keep dogs again.

This was nothing strange at first, but since then, Vice Minister Ge has caught up with inexplicable quirks, and every once in a while, he will drive the people around him to other places and spend the night alone in his study room.

And whenever at this time, there will be a barking sound from the study room, sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad, people who listen to it only found it creepy!

Afterward, someone gathered up their courage and asked about it, but Vice Minister Ge always spoke harshly, insisting that he didn't hear even a little sound of a dog barking.

Later, this matter was widely spread in the streets. It was said that Vice Minister Ge was possessed by the Heavenly Hound, and they were afraid that he would get punished sooner or later. They didn’t think that the retribution really came tonight!
