NovelEnglishChapter 3: Twists and Turns
A group of twenty-two cavalry riders, watched by hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Qian Xiang country, rushed across the street in high spirits and then continued to run more than half the street. Sun Shaozong was able to rein in the reins.
"Lieutenant!"
Feng Xin came up to Sun Shaozong in high spirits, provoked a big thumbs up, and said, "These subordinates listened to you well, I'm convinced now. I'm afraid your courage is no less than that of the old General Chen, the Duke of Qi“
Chen Yi, the Duke of Qi, was a famous general and the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was one of the four kings and eight princes. His most prominent achievement in his life was that he led the army to occupy the state of Qian Xiang.
It was said that at that time, he only used 30,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the 160,000 troops of the Qian Xiang country. Therefore, even today, mentioning the name of Chen Yi in the Qian Xiang country can still let the people feel its authority.

Sun Shaozong gave him an angry look and said, "If there were no Zhuyu, the Duke of Qi, do you think we could come out smoothly?"
To tell the truth, Sun Shaozong was also very worried. If the other party insisted on not making way, he would have to withdraw from the embassy.
Fortunately, he won the bet after all!
"My Lord, although the Duke of Qi is ahead of you, you are not bad either..."
"Shut up!"
After interrupting Feng Xin's flattery, Sun Shaozong gave an order in his deep voice, "Feng Xin, take half of your troop to Ruan Wenhao's house. I'll take the rest of my brothers to Ruan Liangshun's house first."
"Ah?!"
Feng Xin was stunned and doubted, "My Lord, that was the spy who poisoned you. Don't you want to avenge yourself?"
"Why do you have so much nonsense? Just do it!"
Sun Shaozong gave an impatient reprimand, and then, according to the impression in his memory, he took half his subordinates and went straight to Ruan Liangshun's residence.
Ruan Wenhao has been away from the embassy for more than half a day. As long as he was not an idiot, he will not stay at home. Sun Shaozong used to talk about Ruan Wenhao in the embassy just to boost his morale.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt present, the focus was actually on Ruan Liangshun.
Not to mention that this was the first crime scene, there may be many clues hidden here. Just because Ruan Liangshun was the Magistrate, it was worth it that Sun Shaozong was visiting personally.
Don't forget, the embassy guards were all from the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were not familiar with the situation of the Qian Xiang Kingdom and Qinglin mansion. The easiest way to find out this case as soon as possible was to cooperate with local forces.
Ruan Liangshun, the governor of Qinglin Prefecture, was undoubtedly the best choice at present.
First of all, the case happened at the wedding banquet of his sequel, which ruined a happy event. He was also involved. He was the biggest victim except for Niu Yongxin, so he should not be much suspected.
Secondly, as the prefect of the Qinglin mansion, he was a proper local leader. He has a large number of constable and Yamen servants under his command, which was convenient to help search for assassins.
That's why Sun Shaozong wanted to go to Ruan's residence first.
