Chapter 438: Remove the Roots Completely

An old fox was indeed cunning!Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.coming out of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sigh in secret. Just then, taking advantage of the opportunity to negotiate official duties, he repeatedly spoke and tried to figure out what was causing Commander Qiu’s hair to turn white overnight.

Regardless of how Sun Shaozong provoked him, either Commander Qiu remained silent or talked to others, but in the end, he didn't even reveal a word.

But...

His cautious attitude further proved that the things hidden behind him were not insignificant.

What exactly was it?

Holding the documents and official credentials issued by the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, Sun Shaozong walked down the steps with a restless spirit, preparing to take a carriage to rush to the government office and hand over the transfer of troops.

Unexpectedly, the coachman Zhang Cheng hurriedly welcomed him and said in a trembling voice, "Second Master, something big has happened! I heard that last night, the Crown Prince's ”dragon root” was bitten off by someone.”

Someone bit off the Crown Prince's ”dragon root?”

Sun Shaozong stirred up the spirit, quickly pulling Zhang Cheng aside to inquire about the truth.

It turned out that Zhang Cheng was thirsty just now, so he went to a nearby tea stall and asked for a large bowl of herbal tea.

Just as he was drinking, he heard someone talking about it next to him, vividly telling the story.

It was said that three years ago, when Prince Yizhong was imprisoned, his favorite Concubine, Li-Shi, claimed to have died unexpectedly. However, secretly, she was sent to the Crown Prince's Residence using the exchange strategy.

It turned out that the Crown Prince had heard of her beautiful name for a long time and wanted to take care of her by his side.

Who knew that although this woman came from a worldly background, she was a resolute person? She refused to obey any coercion or inducement and instead wanted to die several times.

In the end, the Crown Prince lost his patience and instead resorted to a domineering force, which lasted for more than two years. As Li-Shi refused to comply, he had to use some tools to assist during this period.

After the eclipse yesterday, the Crown Prince felt uneasy and couldn't help but go to find her for entertainment.

Who knew that when he was in high spirits, he used up the object in Li's mouth, which prevented her jaws from closing, but something went wrong. As a result, Li's two rows of silver teeth were ruthless, biting off the Crown Prince's dragon root!

(EN: OMG! XD That must have hurt alot.)

“Second Master.”

Seeing that there was no one else around, Sun Shaozong immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Did you call me over to discuss this matter for the assassination of the Crown Prince?”

If the news of the Crown Prince's downfall were only spread at the level of Prince Zhongshun and Commander Qiu, Sun Shaozong, a mere fifth-grade official, would naturally not be eligible to participate.

But now that this news has been widely circulated, was there a more suitable candidate than Sun Shaozong to quickly uncover the clues?

As expected, Yang Licai lowered his voice and said, "I'm not sure if it's for the Crown Prince's case, but the Pacifer indeed asked you to go back to discuss the matter after receiving the order.”

He said that he was not sure, but after hearing it, there was no doubt.

So Sun Shaozong instructed Yang Licai to wait outside the government office first until he had completed the handover of his official duties and reported it clearly to Minister Han before returning with him to the Northern Detective Department for deliberation.

Sun Shaozong and Yang Licai split up while he pondered how to investigate the ”Dragon Root Case” while walking toward Minister Han.

On the surface, the biggest suspect in this case was naturally the remaining party of Prince Yizhong. After all, the perpetrator was Prince Yizhong's favorite Concubine.

But Sun Shaozong always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Since the person imprisoned by the Crown Prince was Prince Yizhong's beloved Concubine, and it was known that Prince Yizhong's remaining followers had been lurking in the Capital waiting for opportunities to cause chaos, how could he not prevent it?

Was the ”political review” of the Crown Prince's Residence fraudulent?!

While pondering the intricacies of this, suddenly someone in front of him raised his voice and said, "Inspector of the Thousand Household, please stay.”

Sun Shaozong looked up, and it was two small officials of the Dragon Guard, guarding the gate of the office courtyard like two generals.

“You are?”

“I am a lowly person who accompanies the nobles in the Palace to deliver orders.”

One of the small officials said this, turned around and looked furtively, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid we need to change the owner of this courtyard.”

Tch!

Last night, the court ordered the Central Judicial Office to control public opinion, and in the blink of an eye, rumors began to spread, and it was indeed necessary for someone to come out and carry the blame.

It seemed that from today on, the era of Han Anbang has come to a complete end.
