Detective in the Red Chamber

So preoccupied, he picked out two treasures from the dead objects, escorted Xue Baoqin into the carriage, and Yue Baili hurried back to the inner hall, took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to wave.

But when Xue Baoqin arrived in the car, just as she lowered the curtain, her little face suddenly collapsed, and she buried her delicate body in the cushion, and murmured like a sick moan, "I don't know if this method can stabilize the Zhen family. "

But it turned out that it was the Jiangnan Zhen family who had business entanglements with the Xue family.

This Zhen family is also a family friend with the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family, even stronger than Xue Biao's mother and son in terms of closeness, and more than ten times more powerful in terms of influence.

Comparing the hatchback, it's no wonder that Wang Ren deliberately neglected Xue Biao.

"what!"

At this moment, a woman outside the carriage suddenly exclaimed, followed by the coachman yelling, "You woman has no eyes? Why do you want to hit the horse's hoof so hard!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't see clearly just now!"

The woman who was being scolded kept pleading guilty, but a pleasant voice sounded from the side, "Although my mother was at fault, but the weather is like this, I'm afraid your honor should slow down."

"You little girl..."

"Blessing!"

Hearing that his coachman was still entangled, Xue Baochai lifted the curtain of the car, and stopped, "What I said is also reasonable. With the weather like this, you should slow down in the city."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to the other side, "Where did Madam get hurt? The medical center is not far ahead, I'll take you off..."

"No need, no need!"

When the woman was asked this question, she hurriedly shook her hand a few times, and then hurried across the street with a small package.

On the contrary, her daughter returned the gift gracefully, and then followed up unhurriedly.

"This sister is really a good color."

Xue Baoqin watched the other party go away, praised her in her mouth, but added in her heart that she was only slightly inferior to this girl.

Not to mention how Xue Baoqin returned by car.

But when the mother and daughter reached the other side of the street, when they turned around and saw that the carriage had gone far away, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, but then she couldn't help complaining, "If your father didn't want to save face, how could there be such a thing?" Once? Thanks to my fairly flexible legs, otherwise I would have almost..."

"mother!"

The girl stopped the unlucky man, and persuaded softly, "Father is also worried that he will be looked down upon by the Wang family, and it will cause a lot of inconvenience on the way to Beijing, so he won't let us pawn nearby - if he knows in advance that there is such a danger, he will never I can't let my mother bring things over."

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, with a refreshing warmth, and she solved her mother's annoyance with just a few words.

It's just that the woman's anger had just calmed down, but she was worried, and said with a wry smile, "So what if you go to Beijing? Your aunt has been married to the elder of the Rongguo Mansion for 20 years, why has she ever cared about our family?"

But it turned out that the mother and daughter were none other than Mrs. Xing's sister-in-law and her niece Xing Xiuyan.

The two of them, mother and daughter, originally followed Mrs. Xing's brother Xing Zhong to run some small businesses in Suzhou City.

Unexpectedly, the family situation has been deteriorating in the past few years, and now they can't even afford to rent a house, so they have no choice but to go north to visit relatives.

It was a coincidence that Wang Ren happened to pass by Suzhou, and the officials from all over the house went to see him off, so Xing Zhong also took advantage of the opportunity to climb up with his relatives and wanted to take a ride to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the tolls for Sichuan funds are left over, but the expenses for filling the scene have increased by an unknown amount.

Just a few days after the trip, most of the Xing family's money was spent, and Xing Zhong refused to show his timidity in front of the Wang family, so he had to secretly ask his wife and daughter to pick up a few things and find a pawn shop far away to sell them.

Less gossip.

But it is said that Xing Xiuyan and her daughter entered the Wang family's old house through the back door under the cover of night, but they searched inside and out, but Xing Zhong was nowhere to be seen.

After inquiring about it, the servant woman who was on duty at night found out that General Sun had come. Since she also had some relatives with the Xing family, she invited Uncle Xing to accompany her.

"General Sun?"

Xing Zhong's wife didn't realize what happened after hearing this, but Xing Xiuyan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking, "But Sun Shaozong and General Sun who just put down the chaos in Huguang?!"

After getting the servant's affirmative answer, Xing Xiuyan was a little restless, and looked at the front hall from time to time, eyes full of longing.

Seeing that she had lost her usual poise, Mother Xing immediately had some misunderstandings, and hurriedly persuaded her daughter, "Whatever General Sun and General Li are, since they are distinguished guests in the Wang Yamen, they are definitely not something our family can cling to—you have always been a Sensible ones, but don’t get blinded by thinking about it!”

"Mom, where are you thinking!"

Xing Xiuyan stamped her feet shyly, seeing that her mother was still a little suspicious, she could only confide in the truth, "Actually, this General Sun is the Master Sun of Shuntian Prefecture that Sister Miaoyu often mentioned in her letters."

"You know that I have always felt that sister Miaoyu should not entrust her life to the Buddha indiscriminately - and sister Miaoyu has always been very firm, but in recent years she has repeatedly mentioned this Lord Sun, presumably it must be fate! "

"Because of this relationship, my daughter wants to see for herself what Master Sun looks like, and whether he is a good match for sister Miao Yue."

But it turned out that the courtyard that Xing Zhong had rented for many years in Suzhou was the property of Miaoyu's family, and happened to be near the nunnery where Miaoyu practiced.

So Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu have been neighbors for ten years, and all the characters they recognize are taught by Miaoyu, which is really a friendship between a teacher and a friend.

After hearing what her daughter said was reasonable and well-founded, Mother Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded with a smile, "If the two of them are really destined, you will be able to see them in the future. Why bother? Besides, the big family is the most particular What's the difference between inside and outside..."

I just said this, but I heard shouts outside the yard like a frying pan

"It's amazing, then General Sun is going to be promoted to interrogate in our house!"

"Is it General Sun who has blood eyes and insight? Is he interrogating people or ghosts this time?"

"Of course it's a trial of people, but you have to dare to watch ghosts to succeed!"

"Let's go, let's go and see something rare!"

When Xing Xiuyan heard this, she couldn't hold back any longer, she hurriedly said to her mother that she would go to the front to see if her father was drunk, so she mixed in with the servants.

Chapter 605 Jinling Mysterious Case [Part [-]]

The third update, uh, it seems that Wan Geng has a [-]% discount.

It stands to reason that since it was a private banquet set up by Wang Ren, and Sun Shaozong was a military general passing by, he had no right to interrogate local cases at all.

Then how could this well-behaved person rise to the court for questioning?

But it turned out that when the banquet was in full swing, a servant from the palace suddenly reported that there was an old couple kneeling in front of the gate and crying for grievances.

When Wang Ren heard this, he felt very disappointed.

Just as he was about to order his servants to disperse the couple, Sun Shaozong, out of concern for his reputation, hurriedly began to speak in an official tone, saying that he was a passing official and could not intervene in local cases.

And if the couple really had any serious grievances, they might as well go to the Jiangning County Government or the Jinling Government Government to file a complaint.

Unexpectedly, the villain who reported the report said with a bitter face after hearing this, "The villain also told them this before, but they said that the case had to be done by the adults himself, so they couldn't get to the bottom of it, and they also said... ..."

"What else?"

"Also said that the person who died suddenly was actually Master Sun's niece!"

After Sun Shaozong heard this, he felt that the couple was both absurd and annoying—last year, Jia Yingchun added a 'nephew' to him, but why did he have a niece?

At this moment, Sun Shaoxu's complexion suddenly changed, so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

Sun Shaozong's heart moved, and he thought to himself, could it be a certain niece from Nanzong's side, what happened?

Sure enough, just a little probing with words, Sun Shaoxu told the cause and effect like beans in a bamboo tube.

This thing has to start from half a year ago.

But it is said that the eldest daughter of Nanzong's second wife married the eldest son of the Liu family, a gentry in Jinling City, a few years ago. Since both parties are from scholarly and official families, they can be regarded as well-matched and beautiful.

Who would have thought that the daughter of the Sun family has been married for five years and still has not had a son and a half.

But at this time, a maid who had been slept with by Mr. Liu several times, suddenly became pregnant.

Everyone in the Liu family was ecstatic, but Sun insisted that the child in the maid's belly was an evil seed obtained by stealing people, and finally forced the maid to commit suicide by jumping into the well, and ended up with two dead bodies.

The whole Liu family was naturally indignant about this, and the husband and wife also became estranged because of this, and they would have a fight every now and then.

Compared with the Liu family, the Sun family has more people and power, but the Sun family does not take advantage of this matter, so they are not ashamed to stand up for their daughter.

Originally, she had hoped that as time went by, the gap between the two would be smoothed over. If she still couldn't have a child by then, it would be a big deal for Mrs. Sun to come forward and help Mr. Liu take care of the two concubines.

Unexpectedly, just two months ago, Mrs. Sun died suddenly!

At the beginning, Mr. Liu was trying to cover up the truth, but the Sun family's Qilang and eight tigers came to the door, only to reveal that the Sun family was wiped out first and then killed.

Later, the county government made an investigation and confirmed that Mr. Liu was the only one who was in the main room in the backyard before and after the incident, and he was very drunk. Therefore, he judged that Mr. Liu had a dispute with his wife after drinking, and angrily annihilated and killed his grandson. Shi.

Mr. Liu tried his best to deny it at first, but after being tortured, he admitted that he was very drunk and didn't remember what he had done.

So the case was concluded, and Mr. Liu was sentenced to be executed in autumn.

But Mr. Liu's parents refused to let it go, and they kept shouting for grievances, insisting that their son was a scapegoat for the real murderer.

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help asking, "What evidence do they have for their son's grievance?"

"This……"

Sun Shaoxu hesitated for a while, but still said the truth, "According to what Liu Changfeng said, the second sister and his wife had already eased up a lot, and his servants also said so—but the little bastard was drunk at the time and said Maybe he remembered the annoyance he had at the beginning, so he accidentally killed the second sister."

In other words, the Liu family did not actually have conclusive evidence to clear Young Master Liu of his crimes.

Right now there is no way to test dna, and Mrs. Sun has been dead for two months. According to the current weather, the body may have already rotted...

In short, if we want to investigate this case clearly, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work.

And when I passed by Jinling this time, although I had already decided to stay in Nanzong Panheng for two or three days, it was impossible to delay for too long.

Just when he was hesitating, Wang Ren, who had just clamored to drive Liu Changfeng and his wife away, said that since the case involved the younger generation of the Sun family, it was natural to find out the truth.

Just by the look on this guy's face, one can tell that he actually just wants to watch the excitement.

So Sun Shaozong ignored him at all, but asked Sun Shaoxu solemnly, "But I don't know what the third brother thinks?"

If Nanzong had already determined that Mr. Liu was the murderer, and Sun Shaozong made a fuss about going to investigate, he would really be a different person inside and out.

Sun Shaoxu was in a dilemma for a long time, and finally he still gritted his teeth and said, "It would be great if the thirteenth brother can thoroughly investigate this case himself. If it is found out that the little bastard did it, it will also convince the Liu family; if it is true The crimes committed by others can also make the second sister get justice!"

tsk~

Now that Sun Shaoxu said so, I'm afraid he can only try his best to find out the truth.

Sun Shaozong made up his mind, originally he wanted to take Liu Changfeng and his wife to the county government to ask Li Zhixian to retry the case, and then he would attend the hearing as a family member of the deceased.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ren stopped him and ordered people to invite Li Zhixian, together with his assistants and servants to his home, so that Sun Shaozong could ask him what happened on the spot.

To put it bluntly, this guy is too lazy to move around.

Since Wang Ren took the initiative to take the job, Sun Shaozong didn't deliberately refuse, so there was a saying that he was going to be raised in the hall to ask questions.

To say that the Wang family is in Jinling City, it is really like the wind and the rain!

In less than half an hour, all the people involved in this case, physical evidence, witnesses, files, and the criminal Liu Yiqing himself were basically assembled in the front hall of the palace.

The leader was naturally Li Mou, the magistrate of Jiangning County.

After the county magistrate entered the door, he saw Sun Shaozong and others sitting around the dining table, and he didn't even dare to come forward to greet him, so he silently stood beside the butler with his head bowed.

Wang Ren didn't even bother to look at him any more, and asked Sun Shaozong how many people hadn't arrived, so he called out to Sun Shaozong for drinks and food.

Although Sun Shaozong was not as trustworthy as Wang Ren, but with his current status, facing a small seventh-rank county magistrate, he would not make any compromises.

So he just turned his body slightly, facing Li Zhixian, and asked in an official tone, "Your county knows that Wang Yameni and this official invited you here, why?"

"Know, know!"

Then Li Zhixian hurried forward a few steps, bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "The lowly position is not strict in adjudicating cases, there are many omissions, please give me your advice."

As he said that, he took the file from the master, and held it in front of Sun Shaozong with both hands, "This is the file of the case of Miss Sun's murder. Please have a look at it."

Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to take it in his hand, and said with a low voice, "Originally, I shouldn't be involved in the case of your Jiangning County, but the victim is a junior in my family, and the case seems to be unclear..."

"Humble job understands, humble job understands!"

Then Li Zhixian hurriedly said, "Actually, I also feel that this case seems to be inappropriate. I heard that the Shangguan happened to be passing through the border, so I wanted to ask you to make a clear decision. I also ask the Shangguan not to refuse."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll take the liberty once."

Sun Shaozong sighed, and then took the dossier in his hands—although it is common sense for him to intervene in this case as a victim, it is always good to have more insurance.

After scanning the file, I found that Li Mowen's case was fairly detailed, at least the things that happened before and after the case were recorded in great detail.

The incident occurred on the seventh day of June, a rainy evening.

The two maidservants of the Liu Mansion—Shu Xuan and Mu Qin, had something to report to Mrs. Sun, so they went to the main room in the backyard together.

In the end, there was no trace of Mrs. Sun, and the two were waiting to look elsewhere. Liu Yiqing, who was out for a banquet, returned home drunk.

After the two maids helped Liu Yiqing into the bedroom to rest, they thought of Xia Yi who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well not long ago, and hurriedly left the main room.

After that, the two searched for about a quarter of an hour in the backyard, but they still couldn't bump into Mrs. Sun.

Worried that there would be no one to take care of Liu Yiqing, and something would happen again, so the two hurried back to the main room.
