Detective in the Red Chamber

"What?! Smarter... Smarter was killed by someone?!"

Jia Baoyu jumped up suddenly, stared blankly for a while, then sat back down, with all kinds of emotions and desires on his face, a look of distraught.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was afraid that he would cause some dementia, so she hurriedly said something like "the dead cannot be resurrected", and comforted Baoyu, saying that the murderer who killed Zhizhi'er had been arrested and brought to justice, which can be regarded as comforting Zhizhi's spirit in heaven .

Only then did Jia Baoyu regain his composure, but he was still a little dazed.

"sister in law."

At this time, Lin Daiyu suggested, "Now that Shuiyue Temple won't care about her affairs, we are friends with her, so how can we bear to see her being abused after death? Why don't the sisters gather together?" How about collecting her own money and burying her!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the girls responded enthusiastically, and even maids of some status like Xi Ren and Qing Wen also expressed their willingness to donate generously.

The sisters were sitting next to each other, but Wang Xifeng suddenly knocked on the kang table with Yu Ruyi.

After focusing everyone's attention on herself, she said with a wry smile, "Everyone, don't be in a hurry to collect money, this matter can't be done with money alone - that smart boy's body is still in the Daxing County Government Office." It's inside, you and I are both girls, but how can we show our faces?"

Jia Tanchun spoke quickly, and immediately continued, "It's hard to say, let's entrust the money to others."

"Third sister said it lightly." Jia Xichun retorted, "It's such a bad thing, others can't avoid it, who wants to intervene?"

Ping'er also said, "Isn't that right, the way she looks now, we'll panic just by hearing it, let alone help her restrain herself!"

As soon as you said this, as I said it, all the girls retreated again.

Lin Daiyu saw that her proposal was about to abort, and hurriedly said, "Others may avoid it, but Brother Sun must not be afraid! Or wait until the money is collected, I will write to Sister Rong to talk about it, and ask Brother Sun to help Zhizhi's funeral how?!"

In fact, Wang Xifeng and Heping'er's master and servant also thought of Sun Shaozong early in the morning, but because it was difficult to reveal their identity, they deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and sang together, in order to lure Lin Daiyu to the bait.

Seeing that Daiyu mentioned Sun Shaozong as expected, Wang Xifeng immediately slapped her hands and said with a happy smile, "This is a good idea. With Sun Erlang on the way, it must be..."

"I object!"

Just as he was talking, Jia Baoyu jumped up and said angrily, "Why do we entrust our own affairs to outsiders?! Besides, it's not like there are no men in Rongguo Mansion!"

As he said that, he patted his chest and said proudly, "Leave this matter to me! There is no need for the big guys to chip in any money, I will definitely take care of it!"

All the girls look at me and I look at you, but they don't know what he said about "people are going crazy".

Only Lin Daiyu was proud that she had come up with a good solution, but she was annoyed immediately when she heard him talking about "self" and "outsiders"!

So he recklessly sneered and said, "Okay, Second Lord Bao will go out in person, so we outsiders naturally don't need to worry about anything! Just don't want to talk beautifully, but in the end it hurts others!"

Jia Baoyu was so excited by her that he stiffened his neck like a fighting cock, and shouted, "I didn't say that Sister Lin is an outsider, I said that the surname is Sun! Isn't it just a funeral for Zhizhi? Just wait and see!"

Saying that, he rushed out angrily.

Chapter 67

Today's update is a bit late, so I just made a 3000-word chapter, so I'm a little apologetic.

But after Jia Lian took Sun Shaozong to the front hall, he set up a table with four meat, four vegetables and one soup in a short time.

The meat and vegetable dishes are fine, but the soup is really delicious. It is simmered with a plate of silver frost charcoal underneath, giving off a rich but not greasy aroma.

Sun Shaozong didn't feel his index finger moving, and was about to scoop a bowl with a soup spoon to taste what it was like, when Jia Lian said with a smile, "Erlang is a man of good taste, and today's 'five sons enrolling in an imperial examination' is extraordinary. Originally, I was planning to mend it at night, but now I let you try it."

Five sons enrolling?

Sun Shaozong looked at the light golden clear soup, but he really couldn't see where the 'five sons' were.

At this time, I saw Xing'er took a large wooden box from the side, opened the lid, and there were more than a dozen silver molds in it, which looked like cows, sheep, deer, and dogs, and there were four golden ones in the middle. However, it is engraved with four colorful tigers.

Not knowing what these things were for, Xing'er uncovered the silver molds one by one, revealing the minced meat of different colors inside, then took the silver spoon and carefully put it into the soup.

Seeing the "cattle, sheep, deer and dogs" ups and downs in the soup, Sun Shaozong felt a little speechless, the extravagant feelings made it, in fact, it was just a ball of soup!

Not long after, a layer of fine oil floated in the soup, and the aroma was faintly mixed with some fishy smell, which was not as attractive as before.

"Come, come, pick two things to try first, and try the main course later!"

Jia Lian said hello, first picked up a deer and a cow, then scooped up half a bowl of clear soup, lowered his head to bite off the deer's head, and quickly took a sip of the soup, then showed his face full of spring, and chewed carefully.

Seeing Jia Lian's intoxicated appearance, Sun Shaozong became a little interested again, and hurriedly picked up a deer and a sheep. Jia Lian followed suit and bit off the deer's head in one bite. Unexpectedly, before he could chew it, he felt a strong fishy smell. Straight down the throat!

Seeing his frown, Xing'er hurriedly reminded him, "Second Master Sun, hurry up and drink some soup, this thing has to be mixed with soup to swallow!"

Only then did Sun Shaozong endure the discomfort, and took a gulp of the soup.

Strange to say, when the soup reached his mouth, his mouth was full of fragrance, not to mention the fishy smell brought by the minced meat, it also turned into an incomparably delicious and stimulating, chewing carefully, the whole tongue seemed to be soaked in a hot spring It's average, and it's indescribably enjoyable!

Now Sun Shaozong finally understood why Jia Lian put on a slutty face.

At the moment, the two of them didn't care about the heat, and only took a moment to kill most of the minced meat. Seeing the warmth in their stomachs, Sun Shaozong thought of asking what material the "five sons ascended the imperial examination" was made of.

"Dengke refers to 'Little Dengke'. As for the five sons..." Jia Lian laughed and said, "Of course it is the fifth son, Sun Gen!"

rely on ~

No wonder you said just now that you need to mend it!

and many more!

Pointing to the four golden molds, Sun Shaozong blurted out, "So, isn't there a tiger penis inside?!"

"Haha, of course it's the tiger penis, and it's a fresh tiger penis that was hunted from the mountains yesterday!" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Otherwise, how could I say you have good food - usually the main course of 'Five Sons Enrollment', but It's just a deer penis, where can I find fresh tiger penis?"

As he said that, he winked again and said, "With the help of this tiger whip, my brother and I will be fierce at night, but the mother-in-law can still see any flaws?"

Speechless~

In order to steal a love, this guy really spent a lot of money!

Sun Shaozong poked the soup pot with his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Although the tiger penis is rare, this soup should not be simple, right? Without it, this 'five sons ascending the imperial examination' would be difficult to swallow, and how could it be so delicious?" ?”

"Second Master Sun is indeed an expert."

Xing'er gave a thumbs up to the side, showing off, "This soup list uses seventy or eighty kinds of ingredients, and the main ingredient is mountain..."

"Second Master, Second Master!"

At this moment, I saw a healthy servant from Jia's mansion rushing in in a panic, and he didn't bother to salute, so he yelled first, "Second Master, we Young Master Bao don't know why, but we insisted on taking Zhizhi'er's body." Concentrate on the burial, I am afraid that he has already left the mansion at this moment!"

"what?!"

Jia Lian jumped up immediately, and said angrily, "Why don't you dogs stop him?!"

"The little one stopped it naturally, but I really can't stop it!"

The healthy servant put on a bitter face, but he was muttering in his heart that we are not a beautiful girl's family, how can we stop Bao Erye?

Jia Lian was still about to get angry, Sun Shaozong got up and laughed, "It's kind and righteous to make my younger brother do this. It's fine if the second brother is not proud of it, but why are you still annoyed?"

Seeing that Sun Shaozong opened his mouth to smooth things over, Jia Lian could only shake his head and smiled wryly, "Erlang doesn't know something, that Baoyu can't even take care of himself, how can he do such a thing? Especially when the dead body of Zhizhi'er is already... In case he I was scared out of my wits, but how did my ancestors explain it?"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "Looks like Lao Erlang and I can only go to the Daxing county government office once—if he made such a mess, if the dead body of Zhizhi'er is not safely contained, will it spread to our Rongguo mansion?" Isn't it a joke?"

Jia Lian's words are quite responsible.

only……

Sun Shaozong's eyes fell on the four golden molds, full of entanglements.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly said, "The remaining half of the tiger penis, I'll have someone send it to you at night!"

Sun Shaozong immediately changed his appearance, and said righteously, "What did the second brother say? Based on our friendship, wouldn't it be possible for me to shirk without this half tiger whip?!"

After a pause, he added, "Don't forget to bring the recipe of this soup with you when the time comes."

Jia Lian "..."

--split line--

But it is said that Sun Shaozong and Jia Lian left the Rongguo Mansion and rushed all the way to the Daxing County Yamen. Who knew that when they inquired about the gatekeeper, they didn't see Baoyu at all!

Jia Lian was really annoyed now, and said angrily, "Brother Bao usually talks nonsense, how dare he treat such things as a joke?! He gave up halfway here, but what is the reputation of Rongguo Mansion?!"

Sun Shaozong saw his 'power of four whips' all rushing to his head, the veins on his forehead twitched, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Second brother, please be safe, brother Bao may have been delayed on the way."

"Delayed?"

Jia Lian snorted, "If we were delayed on the way, we should have seen him a long time ago. How could we chase him here and still..."

Just as he was talking, he heard the sound of mourning and music at the corner of the street, seven or eight filial sons and grandsons carrying coffins came out, and there was a red-robed young man sitting on a horse in the middle, but who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Baoyu?

Seeing Jia Lian from a distance, Jia Baoyu urged him to come forward immediately and said, "Second brother, why are you here?"

He clearly saw Sun Shaozong at the side, but he ignored him.

Looking at the funeral procession from far to near, Jia Lian asked in surprise, "Where did you find these people?"

"The coffin shop!"

Jia Baoyu puffed out his chest, and said triumphantly, "I went to buy a coffin for Zhizhi'er, only to find out that there are still people there who are willing to pretend to be relatives and mourn for funerals, so I hired a team, and followed the boss's instructions." For advice, let Li Gui invite monks and priests, Baoming went to the Fengshui master to search for the dragon and explore the caves, and only waited for a night in Yizhuang to do the water and land dojo, and then buried her for a good life."

As he said that, he looked at Sun Shaozong with his nostrils, and said proudly, "I usually just don't want to take care of these mundane affairs, but if I really do it, I'm no worse than others!"

For a 13-year-old boy, being able to do this is indeed worthy of the word "rare"-it's a pity that his red robe is too eye-catching.

Although this boy was obviously hostile to him, but Sun Shaozong would not argue with a yellow-mouthed kid.

So he laughed, and said to Jia Lian, "Second brother Lian wait here, I'll go inside and explain, although the truth of this case has been revealed, but not everyone can carry away the dead body of that smart boy."

Saying that, he bowed his hands to Baoyu kindly, and went straight into the county government office.

Seeing that he was provoking her, Baoyu didn't take it seriously at all, but she became more and more ashamed and annoyed.

These days, his ears have been filled with the words 'Sun Shaozong'.

For example, Jia Zheng, since he broke a case with Sun Shaozong, he has to compare Sun Shaozong with him every day, and then he sighs for a while, as if Jia Baoyu is not worthy to carry shoes for others.

That's all for nothing, anyway, Baoyu's scolding of his father has always been taken as a deaf ear.

But I can't help but the sisters all praise the flowers that Sun Shaozong praised, especially Lin Daiyu, who is his childhood sweetheart, looks proud every time he mentions Sun Shaozong, which really makes Jia Baoyu deaf.

To put it bluntly, this is the same as the "student scumbag" of later generations hating the "student bully" of the neighbor's house-not to mention that Jia Baoyu never admits that he is a "student scumbag" at all!

Not to mention how depressed Jia Baoyu was outside.

But when Sun Shaozong entered the county government office and told about the fact that the son of Rongguo Mansion came to collect the corpse, Shen Tan wished he could carry the corpse out in person so that he could show his face in front of Jia Baoyu, but what else would stop him?

Therefore, it only took a moment to complete the formalities.

After a few yamen servants carried the corpse to the door, seeing Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu waiting at the bottom of the steps, Sun Shaozong quickly reminded, "The corpse has been carried out, please second brother and brother Bao take shelter."

If he hadn't reminded him, Jia Baoyu would have run away a long time ago when he smelled the stench of the corpse, but after hearing what Sun Shaozong said, that brat's rebellious thoughts filled his mind.

So without even thinking about it, he strode forward to greet her, and said bravely, "Zhizhi'er and I have known each other since I was a child. I haven't seen her before? No matter what..."

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu's welcome was not a big deal, the yamen servant who carried the corpse was already nervous, seeing a nobleman coming up to meet him, he didn't know what to do, the door shook a few times in the panic, and with a sound of a wheel, a bloody man rolled out Come on!

Chapter 68

I couldn't think of a suitable name for this chapter for a long time, so I had to choose a random one.

Seeing a round object falling out, Jia Baoyu paused, subconsciously looking at it.

But I saw a half-burned human head 'lying on its back' on the ground, and a milky white trachea protruded from the severed neck full of blood and carrion, swaying gently with the cold wind in early spring, It seems to be waving to him in general!

"Ho... ho ho..."

Jia Baoyu's eyes straightened immediately, and he murmured 'ho ho' a few times, before falling backwards like a wooden stake - behind him was the stone steps, if he really wanted to fall hard, he couldn't even say it. The brains can be knocked out!

Fortunately, when Sun Shaozong saw the head fell to the ground, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Jia Baoyu, so that he didn't end up in such a horrible situation.

As soon as he straightened Jia Baoyu, he heard the muffled sound of "ho ho" in his mouth, which had turned into a "kaka" biting. Sun Shaozong immediately tore off the sachet from his waist, and squeezed his mouth open again, abruptly Put the sachet inside.

This is done to prevent Jia Baoyu from biting his tongue, and secondly, the sachet is filled with refreshing Chinese medicine, which is suitable for his symptoms at this time.

After confirming that Jia Baoyu would not be in any other danger for the time being, Sun Shaozong turned around and scolded, "Why are you just standing there?! Hurry up and put the corpse in the coffin!"

As if being pardoned, several government servants hurriedly picked up the head and stuffed it back into the quilt, then carefully lifted the wooden board and hurried down the steps.

At this time, Jia Lian finally had the courage to come closer. Seeing Baoyu's limbs twitching and eyes turning white, he stamped his feet anxiously and shouted, "Baoyu? Baoyu! If you don't want to be brave, you have to... Baoyu! You open your eyes." Eye, answer brother!"

After shouting for a long time, he realized that Sun Shaozong had been rubbing Baoyu's chest and people, and he couldn't help wondering, "Erlang, don't you know medicine?"

Of course, his medical skills are not good, but Sun Shaozong has worked as a criminal police officer for more than ten years, and he still knows some first aid methods.

Not long after, I saw Jia Baoyu waking up slowly under his rubbing, looking around blankly, but couldn't find the slightest focus in his eyes.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly pulled the sachet out of his mouth, raised three fingers and asked, "Tell me what it is!"

Baoyu stared at his fingers in a daze for a while, then his eyes gradually brightened, and he said weakly, "This is three...three fingers."
