Detective in the Red Chamber

Fortune?Calamity?

Not to mention, I didn't pay much attention to it before, but after hearing this, Sun Shaozong really felt that his recent luck was a bit weird.

It's nothing more than investigating cases on weekdays, after all, it's my job, but last time I went to the Hedao Yamen to fight floods, a group of officials died in a whirl; !

When I was in Qianxiang country, when I just crossed over, a cow ambassador also died...

And that same year party...

Could it be that he was really possessed by 'Conan'?

"Erro."

Sun Shaozong was pondering about 'metaphysics' when he heard Brother Cheap poking his head over and confessing in a low voice, "You can help her solve this case——I asked someone to inquire about it, and Jia Yingchun's side is this girl who speaks well, even that Even Jia Yingchun is afraid of her."

"As long as we can subdue this little hoof, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in our future actions."

Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed!

To be honest, Sun Shaozong was really not interested in investigating the case for such a 'purpose', but since Brother Cheap said it, he would not change his mind.

So he sighed secretly, and he could only say, "Okay, I'll take over this case. First, let's talk about the deceased—that is, Pan You'an. relation?"

Hearing the previous questions, Siqi opened his mouth to answer, but when he heard the last question, he hesitated again.

He hesitated and was about to speak, but Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "If you want the real murderer to go unpunished, then you can lie; but if you want to avenge Pan You'an, you'd better not lie to me!"

Siqi gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said bluntly, "My lord, the servant girl and You'an have already made a private decision for life. Yesterday evening, I originally asked him to have a private meeting in another courtyard, and then we went away together. of!"

To say that this woman is really a 'tiger', generally speaking, even if you want to tell the truth, you can use more euphemistic words, and by the way, say a few more words to show that you don't really want to elope with others.

But she...

Especially in front of the 'future hero'!

This is not over yet, I heard Siqi continue to say, "Our two front and rear feet arrived near the rockery in the northwest corner of the other courtyard. He was very active in his hands and feet, but when he heard that he was going to escape from the Rongguo Mansion overnight, he hesitated again. It is dodging again, always refusing to agree."

"In a fit of anger, I said that I would cut off contact with him and never see him again in this life! Then I went back to the Dongkua courtyard alone, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that I would never see him again!"

Ever get your hands dirty?

Sun Shaozong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then have you ever noticed that he..."

"How did he touch it?"

Before the question was finished, Sun Shaozu next to him had glistening eyes, cut off his words, and asked further, "Where are you touching?"

This cheap big brother is really...

Sun Shaozong glanced at him speechlessly, but he said straightforwardly, "Didn't you just ask him about his conduct? I just want to help you find out, how dare that kid is."

lust...

Do you know this thing has a use? !

Sun Shaozong was about to order Siqi to ignore Big Brother Cheap's bad taste, but Siqi replied in a serious manner, "I didn't touch anything, I just rubbed my chest through my clothes like usual."

as usual...

As expected of the master who dared to force his lover to elope, he really dared to say anything!

If I bumped into the cleanliness master and learned that the maid who is about to marry has done such a thing with her lover, I am afraid that I will be very angry and fly into a rage.

But Brother Cheap, although lustful, has always been more casual with women than with clothes, so instead of being annoyed, he nodded in agreement and said, "This kid also has some eyes, your pair of breasts..."

"Cough~!"

Seeing that Brother Cheap is getting more and more unreliable, Sun Shaozong coughed dryly and said seriously, "When you were with him yesterday, did you find that he carried silver taels with him, or something valuable?"

"This one……"

What I just said is so 'detailed', now I really asked about the serious details, but Siqi is a little hard to be sure. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't be sure, and said, "I didn't find any hard things. If you want to say The only thing that is valuable is the rhino horn that Second Master Lian rewarded."

Didn't find any 'hard objects'?

This little brother Pan's body seems to be in a bad shape.

bah bah bah~

I was almost taken into a ditch by my elder brother, now is not the time to think about these 'details'.

Sun Shaozong asked sternly again, "Is the rhino horn wrench very eye-catching?"

Siqi shook his head, "That's not true. Although the texture of the finger is very good to the touch, it looks dusty and looks like it's made of wood."

Sun Shaozong asked, "How is Pan Youan's daily life? Has he ever had any grudges with others?"

"He is timid, and he has always been very kind to others! I have never heard of anyone who has made enemies!"

"Did he ever..."

The words are divided into two parts.

But he said that Sun Shaozong was in the living room, and when he was questioning the chess player carefully, in the Forbidden City and the imperial study, Emperor Guangde and King Zhongshun were also discussing topics related to him.

The imperial case was a bit messy, obviously Emperor Guangde had just let out a thunderous rage, so even King Zhongshun, who had always had no taboos, couldn't help paying a little bit of caution at this time.

"Sixth."

Emperor Guangde's slightly thin body leaned back, leaning on the bright yellow cushion, with a big air, "Let's not mention these bastards for a while, tell me how to deal with Sun Shaozong?"

"Is this..."

King Zhongshun couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and said in a rather embarrassed way, "Even if it's only based on the merits on the surface, it will have to be greatly rewarded--but this kid is only in his early twenties now, and he really looks like a monkey." It is not a good thing for him or for the court to drill upward."

Speaking of this, he bowed again and said, "I got news two days ago that the nephew and son-in-law of the same clan of the Sun family went to Beijing for the exam recently, but they were favored by Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and wanted to take him in as a closed disciple."

"Wang Zhe wants to accept closed disciples?"

Emperor Guangde straightened up in surprise, "Is he the son-in-law of the Sun family?"

"Exactly."

Loyalty and obedience to the king: "Then Wang Zhe has always been known for his ability to know people, otherwise you would not have appointed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials - someone who can be chosen by him as a successor must have something extraordinary."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty on another talent!"

Said it was congratulations, but neither of them had much joy on their faces.

Ordinarily, the more talents who govern the country, the better, but if these talents are all related to each other, it will always make those in power feel a little uneasy.

Especially since these two are still so young...

Emperor Guangde got up and walked back and forth for a few steps, then suddenly asked, "Did Sun Shaozong's favorite concubine just give birth to a son a while ago?"

"I was born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and my brother even gave me a full moon gift."

After hearing this, Emperor Guangde raised his voice and said, "I will pass on my will, Sun Shaozong of Shuntianfu ruled Zhongsun for his loyalty to the country, and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. He specially named his eldest son 'Zheng Qipin Enqiwei' as a reward." .”

Chapter 263 Rebuking Fang Qiu in the Rules

After carefully interrogating Pan You'an's details, and sending Siqi back to wait for the news, Sun Shaozong did not rush to the scene of the murder.

After all, he left Beijing on an errand, even if the Governor's Mansion in Zhili is empty now, he should go back and hand over his official duties before he can deal with other matters.

Besides, he is a dignified fifth-rank official after all, and after being begged a few times by a little maid, he rushed to the scene in a hurry to compete with the county's police. Wouldn't he lose his status greatly?

Therefore, after Siqi left, he ordered people to rush to Wumiao Street, and told Jiang Laoqi to guard the scene, not to destroy the evidence with careless hands; at the same time, he asked Zhang Cheng to set up the carriage and go straight to the government office.

Speechless all the way.

When I went to the mansion, I found out that Han Anbang was not in the yamen right now, and it was said that he went to the household department to wrangle for this year's financial appropriation.

So Sun Shaozong went directly to Jia Yu Village.

Seeing that it was him who came, Jia Yucun was naturally as affectionate as ever, and welcomed him into the living room arm in arm.

After the guests and hosts were seated, they first exchanged a few words with Sun Shaozong, and then sighed, "Han Fu Yin originally wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but unexpectedly, I asked you to make a remarkable achievement—— With such a lucky posture, it may not be a few years before I see you and I will call myself a 'lower official'."

hehe~

This seems to be looking forward to that scene, but after experiencing the imperial decree incident, Sun Shaozong still doesn't know his fanaticism for fame, fortune and power?

If there is such a day, it is estimated that Jia Yucun is respectful on the surface, but he must be cursed by the villain behind his back!

After a few gossips, Jia Yucun laughed again and said, "My brother is injured, and it will be a day of great joy for you in a few days. In fact, you don't need to rush to the yamen to sit in the court. Your criminal name is as solid as gold, just delay it a little longer." There will be no mistakes in time."

"I do."

Sun Shaozong smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Last night, there was a boy in the Rongguo Mansion who was murdered, robbed and dumped on the street in Wumiao Street—his relatives entrusted someone to ask my sister-in-law, who has never been married, to come forward and let me We must investigate and find out."

As he said that, he spread his hands, "I don't need to give other people face, but I really can't refute this kind of favor."

In front of Jia Yucun, Sun Shaozu would naturally not admit that he was asked by a maid to investigate the case, so he casually fell on Jia Yingchun.

Although Jia Yingchun didn't necessarily know about Siqi's visit to ask for advice until now, but with her cowardly temperament according to the rumors, she probably wouldn't take the initiative to deny such claims.

When Jia Yucun heard that this was the case, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Since that's the case, I won't stay with my brother soon, so I should hurry to settle the case, so that brother Ling can happily marry his second sister."

The book does not go into details.

Sun Shaozong came out of the courtyard of Jiayu Village and went to his criminal department. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw forty or fifty officials lined up like a fan under the leadership of Lin Delu.

Seeing Sun Shaozong enter the door, he immediately bowed his body in a uniform manner and said, "Welcome Lord Zhizhong back home! Congratulations Lord Zhizhong for another outstanding achievement!"

Sun Shaozong just raised his sleeves slightly, and said reservedly, "Everyone has worked hard, so there is no need to be too polite in front of me."

"My lord, it's hard work~!"

All the officials flattered again, and then they adjusted from 150 degrees to about [-] degrees. As for those who completely straightened their spines, none of them had half.

How about wanting to be a leader?

Sun Shaozong took a rough look and found that almost all the officials of the famous criminal department are here, and the only ones missing are Wei Ruolan and Qiu Yunfei.

"grown ups."

Seeing him looking around, Lin Delu hurried forward to report, "Wei Tong judge just heard that you came to the government office, and suddenly felt unwell, so he complained of illness and left."

Well, "I just heard about it" and "Suddenly felt unwell", they almost said that Wei Ruolan couldn't afford to lose, so she avoided it on purpose.

However, since the "righteous master" was not present, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to beat the dog in the water. He only nodded slightly, and then ordered, "Governor Lin and Zhao Butou stay, and the others leave first—we can't do it for the sake of welcoming the official." One person will delay the official duties in the yamen."

Then everyone returned to the Dongkua courtyard one after another.

Lin Delu was about to report carefully on the big and small things these days, but he heard Sun Shaozong explain, "Last night, there was a young man in Rongguo Mansion who was killed near Wumiao Street. You should go to Wanping County and take this The case has been brought to the mansion, and I will take over and handle it myself."

Hearing that the Rongguo Mansion was involved, Lin Delu naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to the front to drive the carriage straight to the Wanping County Government.

After he left in a hurry, Sun Shaozong asked Zhao Wuwei, "How is Qiu Yunfei doing?"

"Back to the words of the master."

Zhao Wuwei hurriedly slanted his shoulders flatteringly to report, "Since the eighth day of the eighth lunar new year, Mr. Qiu was forced to convince Wei Tong in front of others, and he has been languid and lacking energy—but it seems to have improved a little in the past few days. A little bit."

It seems that this incident hit Qiu Yunfei more than being beaten up by Feng Ziying in the street last time.

After all, that time he only lost by force, but this time, even his arrogant family background was ruthlessly crushed by Wei Ruolan, and there was no hope of retaliation. It was normal for Qiu Yunfei to be depressed because of this. But that's all.

"Go and call him, and bring a few capable ones with me to investigate the scene with me."

Sun Shaozong ordered casually, but he went inside first, and took out the two mansion newspapers that he had accumulated in the past half a month. In the past half a month in Jinmen Mansion, he could not see the only newspaper in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It really felt like something was missing.

Folding the two mansion newspapers and putting them in his sleeves, Sun Shaozong walked out of the main hall, and saw Qiu Yunfei and a few policemen already waiting in the courtyard.

It's just that after this kid saw Sun Shaozong, he had a stern face and a look of bitterness and hatred.

Obviously, he also harbors resentment toward Sun Shaozong, the instigator of the fight.

But seeing how he bowed obediently no matter how upset he was, it was still a bit of progress.

"Let's go to Wumiao Street."

Sun Shaozong greeted and led the crowd out.

When he arrived in front of the government office, Qiu Yunfei was about to call for his servant's carriage, but Sun Shaozong stopped him with his hand, pointed at his carriage unquestionably, and said, "Come in the carriage with me, I have something to discuss with you on the way." Confession."

Qiu Yunfei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refuse, but after he stopped talking for a while, he climbed into the car with a straight face.

Sun Shaozong also got into the car, but he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he turned out the residence newspaper in his sleeve and looked at it with relish.

Qiu Yunfei originally had an aloof look on his face, but after waiting for a long time, Sun Shaozong still couldn't speak, so he fidgeted like a monkey, and finally couldn't help but sneered, "Now I'm old...now I've lost face, that Wei is also a bamboo basket If the water is empty, it can be regarded as taking advantage of your thoughts!"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong looked him up and down with contempt on his face, and he became more and more annoyed when he looked straight at him, and then he snorted and said, "How much is your face worth? This loss is clearly your father's face, is it true?" The face of your enemies!"

"you!"
