Detective in the Red Chamber

Wang Ren laughed loudly, and moved his hand behind his back, "Let's go, I've already prepared a banquet at home, and I'm just waiting to get drunk with Erlang!"
Seeing such courteous treatment in the Wang Yamen, everyone around was envious and wished they could replace it with their own bodies.
Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong did not obey his orders, but shook his head and said, "Brother, please wait for a while."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands again and bowed, and asked loudly, "I don't know Taoyuan Town, but did you send someone here?"
This Taoyuan Town is where the Sun family's Nanzong is located.
However, someone in the crowd immediately responded, "Sun Shaoxu from Taoyuan Town is here!"
Sun Shaozong followed the prestige, and a passage was opened in the crowd, letting out a thin middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was about to go up to meet Sun Shaozong, but Sun Shaozong stepped forward to meet him, bent one knee and pressed a brocade robe on the ground, and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that the third brother came in person, and the little brother was so neglectful just now." , please forgive me, third brother!"
The middle-aged man obviously never thought that he would be so solemn to salute, he panicked for a moment, kept saying "it shouldn't be like this", but forgot to step forward to help.
"Why not?"
However, Sun Shaozong lowered his head and said in a respectful voice, "At the beginning, my brother and I were in poverty in Beijing. If it weren't for several brothers who often sent people to the north to help, how could we be where we are today?"
In fact, as a time traveler, he only absorbed the memory of the original owner sporadically, and it was really difficult to realize how much he helped Nanzong back then.
But this does not prevent him from expressing this emotion.
And this hard-working performance really had immediate results, Sun Shaoxu's eyes were red with emotion, and the surroundings were full of admiration.
"Thirteenth brother, get up, get up!"
While Sun Shaoxu was moved, he finally remembered to help Sun Shaozong up, stepped forward and grabbed his cast iron arm, and pulled it up hard.
However, Sun Shaozong took advantage of the situation and moved forward, but that Sun Shaoxu suddenly changed his color, stepped back a few steps, and exclaimed in surprise, "Thirteenth brother, you...your eyes?!"
At the same time, there was an uproar all around.
But it turned out that in the middle of Sun Shaozong's forehead, he didn't know when he had an extra blood eye!
Chapter 603 Nan Lin Walks North and the Gold Hairpins Gather [Part [-]]
As soon as the blood eyes are opened, kill Yingye!
Since they all came to welcome Sun Shaozong, how could they not have heard these rumors?
As a result, everyone changed color at the moment, and those who were timid couldn't help but backed away again and again.
"Hahaha……"
At this time, Sun Shaozong smiled heartily, pointed to his forehead and said, "Everyone, look carefully. This is just a scar left by the barbarians. It is usually not very conspicuous. It will only appear when you are emotionally excited. It looks more rosy."
After hearing this explanation, everyone was more or less relieved when they saw that the blood eyes were indeed only outlines, not real eyes.
However, when Sun Shaoxu stepped forward to talk again, he still lost three points of intimacy and increased seven points of awe—obviously, he still couldn't fully let go of the bloody eyes.
Sun Shaozong didn't bother to explain much, so he exchanged a few words with him, then turned his head and bowed his hands to Wang Ren apologetically, "Since my third brother came in person, brother Wang's banquet..."
"Go together, go together!"
Just as Wang Ren was left alone, he held back his boss's dissatisfaction, but this Sun Shaozong is not what he used to be, and he was ordered by his father to come here specially to win over Sun Shaozong, so he tried his best to suppress his temper.
At this time, I heard that Sun Shaozong wanted to shirk his invitation again, but how can he still bear his temper?
Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he said decisively, "Since he is Erlang's elder brother of the same clan, he is not considered an outsider, just go together, go together!"
As he said that, without waiting for Sun Shaozong to agree, he asked Sun Shaoxu again, "Do you want to take a car or a horse? Can you ask Wang to help arrange one or two?"
Although the title of "respect" was used, how could Sun Shaoxu refuse in words?
And Sun Shaoxu has lived in Jinling for a long time, how dare he offend the family of the 'Jiangnan King' who is in full swing?
He hurriedly apologized and smiled, "Don't dare to bother the Yamen, Shao Xu's carriage is nearby, and he can leave at any time."
Seeing that he turned around and called his servant, ordering him to go back to Taoyuan Town to pass the letter first, how could Sun Shaozong have any reason to shirk?
I had no choice but to put on a posture of willingly obeying orders, and followed Wang Ren to the layman.
After walking two steps, I saw a young man in a fine attire leading a fine horse, holding the rein, cupping his hands and laughing, "Little brother Xue Biao, I met the second elder brother of the Sun family."
Xue scorpion?
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, then suddenly said, "It turns out that he is Xue Datou's younger brother, but he didn't want to be born in such a low class, it is quite different from your brother."
Because the cousin was involved in the words, Xue Biao didn't argue, just smiled slightly, patted the black horse beside him and said, "Seeing the good horse specially prepared by the brother of the Wang family, I really can't afford the small gifts, I have no choice but to do it." I had to have the cheek to bring it over and borrow flowers to present to Buddha."
It's rare for him to be so proficient in flattering at such a young age.
It's a pity that Wang Ren didn't appreciate it very much, he got on the dark cloud and stepped on the snow on his own, and pointed at the city with his whip, "Erlang, it's getting late, I think we should leave as soon as possible."
This domineering posture made Sun Shaozong even shake his head secretly.
When Wang Ziteng was working in Beijing, this Wang Ren always followed the rules and was not as arrogant and domineering as other dudes.
Unexpectedly, he only left Beijing to work as a helper for a few years, and he developed an arrogance that can't be ignored.
only……
Today, he found the wrong person to give orders.
Sun Shaozong gave him a sassy smile, but he was not in a hurry to get on the horse. Instead, he sent Sun Shaoxu into the carriage respectfully, and then turned his head to Xue Biao and said, "The left and right are not outsiders, how about little brother Xue get together."
These words were a bit presumptuous, after all, he was not very familiar with Wang Ren, so he invited people to come with him without asking any questions in front of the host's house.
Of course, it was because Wang Renqiang invited Sun Shaoxu first, so what he did was not too outrageous.
The smile on Wang Ren's face froze, but facing Xue Biao's inquiring gaze, he still squeezed out a smile and said, "I also have the same intention, and I never thought that Erlang would take the lead."
"Since this is the case, the younger brother will be disrespectful."
Xue Biao cupped his hands to push the boat along the current, and when he turned back and walked towards his own carriage, his brows were tightly frowned.
Sun Shaozong is far away in Huguang, so he knows little about what Wang Ren has done in recent years, but Xue Biao is near Jiangling, how can he not know about Wang Ren's domineering?
Relying on Wang Ziteng's monstrous power, waiting for officials of the third and fourth ranks, he also said that he would slap his face when he said it.
I am afraid that only the governors from all over the country can make Wang Yanei restrain himself a little.
And Sun Shaozong, the fourth-rank recruitment envoy, is obviously not qualified enough to make him afraid - even if he can be promoted to another level after returning to Beijing, it is only from the third rank.
But what is the reason that Wang Ren had to curb his temper in front of Sun Shaozong?
Xue Biao's mind turned sharply, but his feet didn't stop for a moment. He quickly walked to the front of his own motorcade and was about to pass the first carriage, but he heard the coachman hesitantly exchanged "Master..."
Xue Biao paused, and said casually, "You take the young lady home first, and tell your mother that I'm going to be a guest at Wang's house."
As he said that, Xue Biao passed the first carriage and reached the second carriage. He stretched out his hand, and someone immediately grabbed it.
He was about to use his strength to climb onto the car, but he suddenly felt something was wrong. The hand in his palm was extremely small, as delicate as jade, as weak as boneless, how could a coachman have it?
Xue Biao suddenly raised his head, but he met the playful eyebrows of his little sister.
At some point, this girl of feelings changed into a green dress and a hat, and secretly replaced the driver of the second carriage!
"You girl..."
Xue scorpion changed color immediately, intending to reprimand him a few times, but he was afraid of making his family ugly, so he lowered his tone and ordered, "Go back to your car quickly."
Xue Baoqin grinned, jumped out of the carriage from the opposite side, and whispered through the shaft of the carriage, "Brother, I just asked someone to find out that General Sun may take up the post of Governor of Beizhen when he returns to Beijing this time. "
No wonder!
No wonder there are so many officials and gentry rushing to curry favor with Sun Shaozong; no wonder that Wang Ren, who has no children left behind, is secretly jealous of Sun Shaozong.
It turns out that Sun Shaozong is going to act as the eyes and ears of the emperor!
When Xue Biao was in a daze, another person suddenly came out of the carriage, and he took a closer look, but it was the driver of this carriage? .
It turned out that the girl dressed up as a coachman just wanted to inform herself.
Xue Biao's heart warmed, and he happened to hear the wheels rolling. The carriage turned around and headed towards the city, so he subconsciously cast a gratified look.
however……
He glanced over, but met Xue Baoqin's triumphant little face.
"Drive~!"
Without waiting for Xue Biao to say anything else, Xue Baoqin flicked the reins and drove the carriage away at a gallop.
Damn girl!
Xue Biao stomped his feet in annoyance, but Wang Ren couldn't wait anymore and sent someone to urge him, so he had no choice but to get on the carriage and drive to Wang's old house in Jinling.
Chapter 604 Nanlin Walks North and Nobiles Gather [Part [-]]
Xiaoyi Street, Xue's pawn shop.
knock knock knock
Hearing someone knock on the door, the shopkeeper Yue Baili hurriedly locked the account books on the table together with the two letters into the drawer, and then he raised his voice and said, "Come in."
Squeak~
The wooden door was gently pushed open, and the store clerk He San bowed his body outside and reported, "Shopkeeper, the eldest lady is here, and she said she is looking for some rare items to give away, and now she is picking them out in the warehouse in the backyard."
It's getting dark, what is Miss Xue's family doing here at this time?
Yue Baili frowned, got up and went out of the inner hall with his hands behind his back, he mused all the way to the warehouse door, listened for a while, and found that there was only a faint murmur of a young girl, and he couldn't hear it clearly. With a smile on his face, he walked in.
After entering the door, seeing Xue Baoqin wearing a green dress and a small cap, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little girl must have sneaked out again, not because of her family's instigation.
Therefore, the smile on Yue Baili's face became a bit more real, and he reminded half-truthfully, "Miss should not act willfully at this moment."
"This time?"
Xue Baoqin glanced back at Yue Baili in surprise, and wondered, "Did something happen recently?"
It turned out that this little girl didn't know that the family business was in trouble.
Yue Baili was even more relaxed in his heart, and he changed the topic and said, "It's not a big deal, I wonder what rare thing Missy is looking for today?"
"Um……"
Xue Baoqin poked her chin lightly with her fingers, even though she was dressed in men's clothes, with her playful and serious appearance, the hearts of the two shop assistants were beating wildly.
She murmured hesitantly, "It's better for a warrior to like... No, he doesn't seem to be a pure warrior."
Warriors like it?
Not a pure warrior?
Yuan Baili's heart moved, and he thought to himself, could it be that Xue Biao encountered a setback in the morning and still refused to give up, so he wanted to win Wang Ren's favor with a rare gift?
But even if you want to give a gift, it shouldn't be the young lady who chooses it, right?
He couldn't help but probed, "But I don't know who is this gift for Miss?"
This sentence immediately provoked Xue Baoqin's words, and she turned her nose up to Lao Gao, cadenced like a storyteller, "Speaking of this one, he is a famous strange person in the world. It is said that he was born with a bloody eye and a wise eye. , good at solving strange cases of yin and yang; also has a bravery that is unmatched in the world, and a single person can defeat thousands of troops with a single sword!"
Hearing this, one of the guys couldn't help but blurted out, "Could it be that General Sun who hit Huguang with his sword?"
"Of course!"
Xue Baoqin nodded her little head, and then proudly said, "Because the brother of my uncle's family has a close relationship with General Sun, my brother specially went to meet him at the pier today, but who knows that he hit it off with General Sun and planned to take him into our stock market?" Where is the shop at home!"
Three parts of these words were true and seven parts were false, but when she said them in a ostentatious tone, people couldn't help but believe them [-]% of the time.
Yue Baili thought to himself that Xue Biao's behavior was probably to bring in strong support - but although Sun Shaozong was famous all over the world at a young age, if he really wanted to compare it with which one, he was afraid that he still owed a lot of heat .
Just thinking like this, Xue Baoqin said with some doubts, "I also heard from my brother that General Sun is going to be promoted to the town governor, but I don't know what kind of official position it is? How come even the king's office has to take the initiative to go The pier welcomes him?"
An envoy?
Could it be the Zhen Fu envoy who is in charge of Bei Zhen Fu Si? !
Yue Baili's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that if this was the case, he would never dare to underestimate this matter - but whoever is an official is not afraid of Beizhen Fusi's three-pointer?
It seems that we must send a message to Suzhou, lest...
Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Xue Baoqin suddenly blinked his big eyes again, with a longing expression on his face, "If General Sun really buys shares in our shop, it will not be so easy if he wants to do bad things without telling my brother in the future—just ask General Sun has a good eye for debate, and there is no way to hide whether it is loyalty or treachery!"
Yue Baili's heart was agitated again, just now he only cared about Beizhen Fusi's name, but he forgot that Mr. Sun's ability to solve cases with fascination.
If Xue Biao noticed something wrong and invited him to help with a thorough investigation, wouldn't he be...
No, it seems that the plan has to be pushed back, at least wait for Suzhou to solve this big trouble first!
