Detective in the Red Chamber

Then Wu Dayou hurriedly said, "That shoe was made for him by my sister-in-law, and there is a special embroidered mark on it! The adults just saw that thing, how can you still say it is a forged thing by a villain?!"

"Humph!"

Sun Shaozong snorted, leaned forward slightly and said, "It's a pity that you and he are siblings, but you don't even know that he has sweaty feet?"

"Sweat...sweaty feet?"

"That's right!"

Sun Shaozong continued to sneer and said, "The weather is hot and humid today. If you wear sweaty feet like Wu Laoer's for a while, the inside of the shoes will be wet and tainted with a lot of strange smells!"

"But why are the shoes you presented as evidence so dry and clean?"

"grown ups!"

Wu Dayou was obviously flustered, but he still insisted, "Maybe he just changed his shoes..."

Pa~!

When the gavel sounded, Sun Shaozong scolded, "What a sharp-tongued fellow! Master Sun, show him the confession!"

Sun Chengye immediately got up from the clerk's seat, put the confession in front of Wu Dayou, pointed to two paragraphs in it and said, "Look at it carefully! My lord asked me twice before, but you always insisted that Mr. Wu Second, wandering outside for half a day, and rushing home to have an affair with my concubine!"

Sun Shaozong sneered again in the hall, "Since he hasn't been back to his own house, did he change his new shoes there?!"

"It's clear that you stole his shoes and took the opportunity to frame him!"

"This... this this this..."

Seeing the conclusive evidence of the crime, Wu Dayou's mood suddenly collapsed, and he said "this" several times, and suddenly said with his head, "My lord, please forgive me, the villain is also temporarily obsessed with ghosts, so..."

slap~

"Listen to the announcement!"

But why did Sun Shaozong listen to him crying patiently?

He threw the gavel on the table again, and said in a loud voice, "As the elder brother, Wu Dayou didn't want to protect his brother. Instead, taking advantage of his father's new funeral, he accused his younger brother Wu Lao Er of disobedience, intending to monopolize the family property!"

"About his crime, he should be sentenced to exile for thousands of miles and not returned if he is pardoned."

"However, in order to accuse his younger brother Wu Lao Er, he ignored his late father's reputation, so the crime was aggravated and he was sentenced to hang!"

"My lord, my lord, please spare my life! I dare not, my lord...I..."

Sun Shaozong turned a deaf ear to picked up two tokens, threw one first, and ordered, "Come here, take Wu Dayou into custody for the time being, and wait for the autumn judgment!"

Then he threw down another one, and continued, "Wu's second brother was wrongly imprisoned, and Daxing County is ordered to release him immediately. There must be no mistake!"

"Retire!"

"Wei~wu~!"

Stepping on the lingering sound of the hall's prestige, Sun Shaozong walked back to the back hall, but immediately tore off his official uniform, flung it on the screen, and then grabbed the white jade bone folding fan from the coffee table, and opened the front of his clothes Shaking desperately.

He shouted loudly in his mouth, "Hurry up, hurry up, bring me the watermelon that is frozen in the well-this thief, is it going to be hot to death?!"

When I went to host the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago, it was already hot enough.

Who would have thought that within a few days, the temperature had soared a lot, and it was estimated to be 36 or [-] degrees at least—wearing a long-sleeved official robe in this weather is like being tortured!

Sun Chengye came in with the file in his hand. Seeing Uncle Thirteen's unseemly appearance, he was speechless for a moment—in the courtroom, few people could compare with him in terms of official majesty; but in private, this uncle However, it is informal.

He shook his head helplessly, organized the files on his own, and dug out two more complaints, asking, "Uncle, the remaining two cases..."

"Delay, delay!"

Sun Shaozong said without hesitation, "The left and right are just neighbors' disputes. If you push back, maybe they will reconcile themselves!"

At this time, the iced watermelon was finally brought over, and Sun Shaozong didn't bother to use a knife when he took it in his hand, he chopped it lightly with his fingers, and the watermelon split into several pieces.

He randomly selected two pieces and handed them to Sun Chengye, and while sucking on the flesh, he said inarticulately, "Furthermore, in the evening, Old Uncle Wei's son washes his hands, so I naturally have to go there earlier—— Ting Yi and Cheng Tao There, you can help me inquire first, to see if this sage has anything to do with it."

In the afternoon of the eighth day of the eighth day, the old butler Wei Licai finally had a son, and was overjoyed—of course, seeing Brother Cheap, he inevitably urged Sun Shaozong to work overtime for two nights.

Sun Chengye nodded, and said with some emotion, "I thought Ting Yi would be able to make a big splash this time, but I never thought... well, I hope this time he will go smoothly in the exam."

This is pure nonsense.

Emperor Guangde demoted Yu Qian to the last place in the top three in order to save the face of the Supreme Emperor. After that, he had to make some compensation, not to mention Wang Shangshu's favor. ten.

On the other hand, Sun Chengtao, although this kid was very lucky to be in the tail of a second-class crane, he still lacks talent after all, and I am afraid that he may not be able to pass the exam.

However, looking at his words and deeds in daily life, Sun Shaozong seems to be more willing to be a "Bailihou" in the local area than to be a low-level Beijing official-so it may not be a bad thing for him to fail to pass the exam .

"correct!"

Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly ordered, "Don't forget to send an official document to Daxing County later, ordering them to do things sincerely, and don't be careless anymore - Xu Huaizhi didn't know how to do it, only the nearest one In a month, they have misjudged several cases!"

Sun Chengye hurriedly agreed, and asked carefully about the tone and scale of the official document, and without touching the watermelon, hurriedly went to the criminal name department to write the official document.

This nephew is becoming more and more proficient in handling official duties.

But he said that after eating half of the watermelon and drinking some herbal tea, Sun Shaozong finally got rid of the dryness in his heart, reluctantly put on his official robe again, and walked back to the criminal justice department.

Originally planning to change into regular clothes in the main room, he brought the gifts and went directly to Old Uncle Wei's house.

Unexpectedly, before taking off the official robe, someone came in and reported that they were relatives of the Ningguo Mansion, and they came to see him on important matters.

The relatives of the Ningguo Mansion came to see him?

After Sun Shaozong heard this, he was a little puzzled, his relationship with Ningguo Mansion was only superficial, how could there be relatives from Ningguo Mansion coming to his door?

Chapter 364

Although I don't know why the relatives of the Ningguo Mansion came to the mansion to ask to see me.

But since the person has come, I still want to see the boss.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong ordered his disciples to lead him to the Criminal Division.

Not long after, I saw a young man dressed as a scholar come in after the door, cupped his hands at Sun Shaozong and said, "Xiaosheng has met Mr. Sun."

However, when Sun Shaozong saw this person, he couldn't help frowning, raised his hand and waved the door away, then asked suspiciously, "Miss You, did you just wander here today?"

But it turns out that the young man dressed as a scholar is none other than Third Sister You who happened to meet on the street one day!

The last time it could be said to be a coincidence, but this time she came to the door with a female companion in men's clothing, but why?

Could it be that this chick fell in love with her and wanted to make love to her...

puff~

As soon as I thought of this, I saw Third Sister You knelt on her knees and said with tears in her eyes, "My lord! The little girl is really desperate at the moment, so I have to have the audacity to come to my lord for help!"

What did you say?

Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Since you are a relative of the Ningguo Mansion, you should go to their mansion for help when you encounter difficulties. Why did you ask your relatives instead of asking for help, but you asked for me?"

"Master Sun!"

Third Sister You raised her head with tears in her eyes, and said in a mournful voice, "Why did Jia Zhen and his son treat me and my sister as serious relatives? Now they are pressing against each other day and night, wishing they could play me and my sister in the applause!"

As she said that, she bowed her head and wept again, "To be honest, the little girl came to the door today to ask the lord to come forward and protect the innocence of me and my sister from the mouth of this father and son!"

Innocent body?

Sun Shaozong grinned silently, but then said seriously, "Then how do you know that this officer can definitely handle this matter?"

"My lord is known as the blue sky, and he is famous for his uprightness!"

Third Sister You spoke frankly, "Besides, ever since your lord broke the 'shame' situation, Jia Zhen and his son have been very afraid of your lord in private. If you are willing to stand up and defend us, Jia Zhen and his son will definitely stay away!"

That said, it really makes sense.

but……

Her words can only be fooled by people who don't understand, and Sun Shaozong not only held Youshi's feet in the "one night fish and dragon dance" in the Ningguo Mansion that night, but also listened to it from her. There are many stories about the second sister You and the third sister You.

That's all for the second sister You, she is just a meek temperament who drifts with the crowd, facing the prying eyes of Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son, although she dare not resist because of her timidity, she is not willing to be humiliated.

But Third Sister You quite enjoyed it, often in front of Jia Zhenjia Rong, deliberately displaying some tricks of obscenity and flattery, teasing the father and son to make ugly appearances.

Such a prodigal woman suddenly ran to him, begging him to preserve his innocence, wouldn't this be a big joke in the world?

So after listening to her singing and reciting well, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sneer, "But as far as I know, Ms. You may not be as innocent as you said, right?"

Third Sister You secretly thought that it was very dangerous when she heard the words, Mr. Sun was just as the eldest sister expected, she had already heard some gossip, if she didn't know it, she would just go in and directly ask someone to marry Mr. Liu, a good marriage is inevitable, It will be in the hands of Mr. Sun!

At this point, she really felt a little grateful to You Shi - but how did she know that these words originally came from You Shi?

But she said that Third Sister You came prepared after all, although she was seen through the truth, she was not too flustered, she just tensed her face, and said solemnly, "Since the adults have said this, the little girl dare not say anything." Concealing it, I did make mistakes in the past, and it can only be regarded as a good fortune."

"But since the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the little girl happened to bump into someone, and she decided to change her past and never get involved with Jia Zhen and his son again!"

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I happened to run into someone?

Isn't that just me?

Although he knew that this woman was probably lying nonsense, but listening to a peerless and enchanting man keep saying 'I fell in love with you at first sight', Sun Shaozong still felt a little complacent.

Unexpectedly, Third Sister You immediately said, "This person is Sir's best friend—Master Liu Xianglian!"

Huh? !

Sun Shaozong's eyes widened, "Who are you talking about?!"

"Master Liu Xianglian Liu!"

Seeing Third Sister You's beautiful eyes blurred, she murmured, "From the moment I saw Liu Lang, I vowed not to marry him!"

rely on ~

Fortunately, he didn't say what was in his heart just now, otherwise this person would have lost a lot.

But then again, if this matter of being fell in love with a woman at first sight is put on Liu Xianglian, it really doesn't seem abrupt—at least Sun Shaozong knows that there are several brothel women who are fascinated by Liu Xianglian. Don't go whoring, and willingly pay a lot of personal money.

It's just that this third sister You, who looks charming and charming, is also fascinated by Liu Xianglian!

I didn't know what it was like in my heart, but I heard Third Sister You said again, "No matter whether the posture of this slave is like a pussy willow, whether you can get into Liu Lang's eyes or not, this innocent slave must be guarded by Liu Lang—— I heard My lord and Liu Lang are family friends, so I have the audacity to ask my lord."

"Lord Wanwang, for the sake of the little girl's infatuation with Mr. Liu, please save my sister once!"

Before the horoscope is even written, you have to keep the festival for Liu Xianglian?

It really is……

Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, Fang shook his head and said, "I can't tell the truth from the fake, let alone tell the truth from the fake - I will tell Liu Xiandi about the cause and effect some other day, and let's see how he makes a decision."

"If he is willing to help you, I will naturally not stand by."

Third Sister You was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly knocked her head on the ground again, then tore off a brocade handkerchief from her waist, and raised her hands above her head.

Sun Shaozong saw that the brocade handkerchief was densely covered with petty characters, and he thought it was a love letter written by Miss You to Liu Xianglian, so he took it and said casually, "Don't worry, I will hand over these things to Liu Xiandi together. .”

Unexpectedly, Third Sister You shook her head and said, "My lord has misunderstood, this item is not a gift from my slave family to Liu Lang, but actually entrusted by my second sister..."

"how?!"

Sun Shaozong blurted out in surprise, "Your second sister also has a crush on Liu Xianglian?!"

be nice~

Being so handsome is just taking advantage, and there are sisters rushing to imitate E Huang Nv Ying!

Although Second Sister Nayou is three points inferior to this younger sister in coquettishness, she is still an extremely rare beauty, especially her submissive temperament, which is convenient for enjoying the blessing of being equal to others!

"No no no!"

Third Sister You saw that there was an oolong, and hurriedly explained, "Yesterday, my sister heard that the little girl was going to ask the adults for help, so she said how could there be no pleadings for her grievances? So she wrote down the grievances she wanted to sue on the brocade handkerchief, and asked the little girl to ask for help. Bring it here and show it to adults."

After a pause, she said with a pun, "My lord, please look carefully, and don't disappoint my second sister's wishes!"

Chapter 365 An Unexpected Sympathizer

When they came out from Old Uncle Wei's house in the evening, they were only a few steps away from the Sun's mansion, so the two brothers didn't bother to ride horses, so they handed over their respective mounts to the servants, and they walked and chatted as they walked.

The subject matter, of course, is the 'timber business' which will be launched officially in the near future.

With Jia Yingchun acting as the intermediary, the two sides bargained back and forth several times, and the general regulations were finally concluded.

The Sun family was responsible for raising the capital of 10 taels of silver, and the two earned a [-]-[-] share of the profits. However, all expenses during this period were deducted from the Sun family's due profits.

There is no other way, such as the "official downfall" business, the background relationship is the most valuable, that is, Wang Xifeng is a daughter, it is not convenient to show her face, and in addition, money is a little tight recently, otherwise this business may not be able to come true In the hands of the Sun family.
