Detective in the Red Chamber

Sun Shaozong patted him on the shoulder calmly and said, "Don't worry, it's all superstition."

At the same time, what he thought in his heart was that it would be best for that woman to kill her, and help get rid of a scourge in this world!

Xue Pan was even more anxious, "But...but besides Kefu, she also steals men!"

There's something wrong with this...

Sun Shaozong wondered, "This is the daughter of that family. With such a reputation, she has the face to propose marriage?"

Generally, a woman with such a reputation is either lonely for the rest of her life, or married far away, so how dare she take the initiative to propose marriage?

Xue Pan cried and said with a sad face, "Second brother also knows that she is the only daughter of the official minister Wang Shangshu!"

I'm going~

This... This is really like fish looking for fish and shrimp looking for shrimp, and turtle looking for big bastards!

Chapter 78

However, while Sun Shaozong was feeling emotional, he couldn't help but have some doubts. Normally, even if Xue Pan asked for foreign aid, he should have turned to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang for this kind of thing. How did he find him?

So he frowned and said, "If you don't want to marry that Wang's daughter, you can just discuss it with your family. What's the use of asking me?"

Xue Pan's anger eased a little, and he said hesitantly, "But my mother has already been tempted, even my younger sister is all about persuading me to marry that Wang's daughter..."

Xue Baochai also advised him to marry Wang's daughter?

This is a bit strange.

Although she has never met Xue Baochai in person, from Ruan Rong's occasional words, it is not difficult to deduce that she is a far-sighted woman who is also quite protective of her relatives. How could she persuade Xue Pan to marry such a notorious woman? sister-in-law?

Coupled with Xue Pan's hesitant appearance, there may be some hidden secrets hidden in it.

Sun Shaozong was thinking about it here, when he suddenly saw Xue Pan put his big head in front of him, and said flatteringly, "Brother, only you can save me now, you can't just watch me jump into the fire pit!"

"Wait first!"

Pressing his face and pushing the girl back to the original position, Sun Shaozong said speechlessly, "It's just 'only I can save you', I don't remember that I have this ability."

"How not?!"

Hearing his words, Xue Pan seemed to be loose, and said in a hurry, "As long as the second brother is straight-up, saying that I have restrained my wife in recent years, then Wang Shangshu still dares to marry my precious daughter to me?"

Sun Shaozong "..."

It turned out that Xue Pan had this idea!

Over the past six months, more and more strange cases have been solved, and more and more folk legends have linked Sun Shaozong with ghosts and gods, saying that he was born with a pair of wise eyes, who can distinguish between yin and yang, life and death, and judge people's good and bad fortune.

If Sun Shaozong announced to the outside world that Xue Pan had shown signs of restraining his wife in the past few years, even if Wang Shangshu refused to fully believe it, he would probably not take the risk of marrying a daughter.

only……

Sun Shaozong still can't refute the rumors now, so how could he come forward and make a real impact?

Dang even pointed at the door politely, and said, "Get out!"

"Don't, second brother!"

Xue Pan hurriedly said, "As long as you help me this time, second brother, I will appoint..."

"One more word, do you believe that I let you go out sideways?!"

Sun Shaozong raised two fists that were as big as vinegar bowls and squeezed them loudly. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xue Pan ran away in a hurry.

Watching the Dumb King disappear outside the door, Sun Shaozong accepted his posture speechlessly—it is now the middle of June, and the weather outside is like a steamer, but he said these few words to Xue Pan in the courtyard, and he Feeling wet on the back.

So he hurried back to the main room, slumped on the grand teacher's chair next to the ice basin, and immediately felt refreshed from the top of his head to the soles of his feet—although the Sun family also stored some ice cubes, it's okay to come to the basin occasionally to cool down or get some cold drinks However, it is impossible to imagine that Jia's mansion is so open.

It is precisely because of this that since last month, Sun Shaozong has become much more attentive to the matter of coming to Jia's mansion to teach martial arts, and almost every now and then he comes to Rongguo mansion to cool off the summer heat.

But he said that he was lying comfortably on the grand master's chair, so he poked his chin on the soft cushion in the middle, and asked lazily, "Who should it be? I'm back now, why haven't I started yet?"

Although he was lazy here, the boys below did not dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly separated two people and stood on the cushion. They were Jia Huan, the concubine of Jia Zheng, and Jia Yin, his cousin.

Because Sun Shaozong's reputation has become more and more famous in recent days, and seeing a bright future in the future, this martial arts school, which was originally not optimistic, has added a lot of students—thus, it also caused a lot of complaints from Jia Dairu, the division of ethnology. .

Less gossip.

But Jia Huan and Jia Yin stood still on the soft cushion, bowed their hands and bowed to each other, and then they all performed the military boxing that they had just learned and practiced, and practiced the fighting routines there.

At the beginning, the two uncles and nephews were fairly well-behaved, but how could they not bump into fists and feet in this exercise?

However, Jia Huan and Jia Yin, one relied on being Jia Zheng's concubine son, and the other felt that he was a decent descendant, both of them had the temperament of not wanting to suffer - so they got really angry every time they came and went, tearing up and punching to the flesh, But what kind of tricks, what kind of dignity is there?

Although Jia Huan was an uncle, he was two years younger than Jia Yin in terms of age, so he couldn't resist seeing him face to face, and was ridden by Jia Yin with old punches.

"stop!"

Only then did Sun Shaozong yell to stop.

Then Jia Yin hurriedly let go of her uncle, and stood obediently aside.

That Jia Huan also got up straight away, and stood beside him—but he couldn't help staring at Jia Yin with those eyes that were like gouging out flesh.

Anyway, there are adults in the family to control them afterwards, and Sun Shaozong didn't bother to explain anything for them, he just said, "Since we are practicing martial arts, there is nothing wrong with being brave and fierce, but today I let you practice routines, not let you Playing tricks! Since you broke the rules, you will be punished..."

He smacked his lips, and then continued, "I will punish you to go to the well at the root of the west wall to catch five watermelons, cut them up and bring them over to everyone—boys just need to stare at them, and they are not allowed to help!"

After Jia Huan and Jia Yin took orders to go, Sun Shaozong signaled for the next pair of children to come on stage, but this time they both came from the sidelines of Jia's mansion, they usually had a very good relationship, so naturally they had to be more measured.

It's just that this kind of flamboyant boxing and embroidered legs, in the eyes of others, is far less enjoyable than the Wang Baquan just now.

Sun Shaozong was also yawning while watching, and was about to drink a cup of herbal tea to refresh himself, but he saw Jia Lan approaching from the sidelines, and dug out a small clay bowl with a cover from the ice basin, and handed it to Sun Shaozong respectfully.

"This is the eight-treasure sour plum soup that my mother sent someone just now. Please ask Xi Xiaona for advice."

All the urchins in Jia's mansion are all delicate and fleshy, and they don't want to put their heart into learning literature, let alone learning martial arts.

The only one who can bear hardships and stand hard work is Jia Lan.

Coupled with the fact that Jia Lan is only seven years old now, this character is even more commendable, so Sun Shaozong regards him differently on weekdays.

After taking the 'Eight Treasure Plum Soup' from Jia Lan's hand, he opened the lid and smelled it, and felt the refreshing air rushing towards his face, and his appetite whetted immediately.

So Sun Shaozong picked up the soup spoon and drank half of the pot in a row. Then he remembered the business, and hurriedly ate while exhorting, "Since you have been practicing military boxing these days, you should stop the aerobics. You should practice once a day at most. That’s enough, so as not to overburden your body and damage your body.”

Jia Lan obediently agreed, but there was a bit of reluctance on his face.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong asked curiously, "Why? Could it be that you don't like to practice boxing, but like to practice aerobics instead?"

Many movements in the aerobics were a bit weird to the people of the time, so all the boys learned the military boxing and left it behind.

"It's not..."

Jia Lan said with some embarrassment, "I usually do aerobics with my mother, but she refuses to learn this military boxing with me."

"what?"

Sun Shaozong swallowed the pulp hard, and blurted out, "Your mother is doing aerobics with you?"

"Yes."

Jia Lan nodded her head, and complained rather complainingly, "It's just that every time I reach the seventh section of jumping, my mother always wants to be lazy, and she has to be supervised before she really wants to jump."

Li Wan?

jumping exercise?

Sun Shaozong immediately made up the picture of "ups and downs" and "waves like anger", and hurriedly raised his legs to cover the "expansion" that was about to come out.

Chapter 79

But he said that Sun Shaozong was at war between heaven and man, and he hesitated to ask Jia Lan for some details, so he heard Jia Huan and Jia Yin yelling outside the door, "Teacher, we have finished the watermelon, and it is placed on the stone table under the corridor." , or send it to the practice room?"

"Put it outside."

Sun Shaozong responded casually, and then waved his hands at the two young men on the stage who had been deprived of three and seven souls by the word 'watermelon', and said, "Pause for a moment, those who want to eat melons can get them outside."

All the teenagers and boys cheered when they heard the words, but none of them dared to rush out. Instead, they all cast their eyes on Jia Baoyu, until Baoyu was the first to go outside to fetch three pieces of watermelon and came back. go out.

Gein these dozen or so youths and boys were either Baoyu's cousin or his nephew, regardless of their status or age, they were all inferior, so he was the master in everything, and they didn't dare to rush for the lead indiscriminately.

Sun Shaozong speculated privately that this situation should be intentional by the Jia family, and the purpose was nothing more than to cultivate Jia Baoyu's ability to lead others.

But the actual effect...

Not to mention.

"Second Brother Sun."

Jia Baoyu handed the watermelon to Sun Shaozong and Jia Lan respectively, and then asked with a shy face, "Have any clues been found in the recent 'Jishuitan sinking corpse case'? I heard that this matter is so big that even the emperor They were all shocked!"

At the beginning, he was so frightened by Zhizhi'er's head that he became seriously ill, and it took him more than two months to recover. Mrs. Wang and Lin Daiyu didn't know how many golden beans they lost for this, and if they put it all together, it might be enough to take a bath.

However, Jia Baoyu became more courageous after this incident, and became more fascinated by the crime investigation. Not only did Sun Shaozong have to pester him every time he came to the mansion, but he even bought a lot of Baogong cases in private. , Di Gong's case and other legendary novels.

But Sun Shaozong left the watermelon on the coffee table, and while continuing to drink sour plum soup, said lazily, "The corpse has already turned into bones, and many bones were kicked away by the elephant in the panic, so far I haven't been able to fight back." How can it be so easy to solve the case?"

Speaking of the discovery process of this "sinking corpse case", it is really dramatic.

Due to the hot and sweltering weather recently, the eunuchs in the palace took the elephants who paid tribute from the six countries in southern Xinjiang to take a bath near the Jishuitan to enjoy the coolness according to the past practice.

A few evenings ago, probably because it was too comfortable to soak in the water, a male elephant refused to go ashore. The more bullying the mahout, the deeper it ran. A human bone skeleton was torn out!

uh~

To be precise, it should be more than half of the bones, because a considerable part of the bones were kicked by the elephant.

From Sun Shaozong's point of view, there is nothing to make a fuss about. The capital is densely populated and crowded with merchants. Why is the forest so big?Every year, there are more than two digits of people who sink into the bottom of the water in a muddleheaded way!

But I can't help it that the common people are very superstitious these days, and they love to weave all kinds of stories about gods, gods and ghosts.

So within three days, the story of "No one asked at the bottom of the grievance pool, the white elephant came east to resolve the grievances" spread all over the streets and alleys. Later, even the emperor was alarmed, and sent a "Dali Temple" to the male elephant for fun. Town guard's good job.

Now Dali Temple is working overtime to entertain this "big" guardian, building an elephant room - the majestic country's highest judicial institution, which is like a wild animal park, and it is really speechless.

Hearing that the 'Jishuitan sinking corpse case' had no clue yet, Jia Baoyu was not discouraged. He took out a small notebook from his sleeve and memorized it carefully, and then asked, "The case of the 'sacred bird disappearance' that happened in the outskirts of the city?" 'Well, is there any prospect in Daxing County?"

This 'divine bird disappearance case' refers naturally not to the loss of a bird, but because the reporter claimed that his wife was captured by a huge divine bird.

"That case."

Sun Shaozong said, "The former Tianwang county magistrate reported to the mansion, so I went to investigate the scene myself, and now I have a preliminary suspicion that the woman should have gone away with her adulterer. Face nonsense panic."

"how so?!"

This time, Jia Baoyu couldn't calm down anymore, and muttered in frustration, "I always thought the reporter killed his wife and hid the body!"

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes at him, and said speechlessly, "Where are there so many cases of hiding corpses in this world? Besides, can't you hope that others will be better?"

Unwilling, Jia Baoyu recorded the results in his notebook, and then asked, "The one in Nancheng..."

"I said, are you finished, boy?"

Sun Shaozong put the sour plum soup on the table, and said angrily, "I've been working on cases all day in Shuntian Mansion. It's hard to take a rest for a day. You can't make me clean and clean? Didn't you buy a lot to solve the case?" The story book, let’s finish reading those things before we talk about it!”

Seeing him frowning and staring, Jia Baoyu was not afraid, and just laughed and said, "Second brother is all real cases here, how can those nonsense stories be comparable? Besides..."

He looked at Jia Lan with a blushing face, and leaned into Sun Shaozong's ear and whispered, "Besides, the 'story book' is clearly a case, but it's actually a matter of men and women in the dark—I received a book of 'Strange Cases' the day before yesterday. As a result, the entire text is full of unsightly words, and even specially embroidered images!"

Regardless of Jia Baoyu's young age, he may have dated more beautiful girls than Sun Shaozong's two generations combined. The content of the little emperor's book that would make him blush when he mentions it must be quite...

Sun Shaozong's face sank immediately, and he scolded, "How can you look at this kind of thing at such a young age? Uncle Shi found out about it carefully, and exposed your skin!"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback by him, thinking that he was going to give a small report to Jia Zheng, and begged for a few words in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong changed the subject and continued, "Bring them all in a while, I will take them back and destroy them for you, so as not to cause any disaster!"

Baoyu was speechless for a while, but finally asked Mingyan to fetch the book and handed it to Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong flipped through it casually with the help of 'urine escape', and saw that it was full of pictures and texts, and there were even some cross-species exchanges, and he became more and more 'annoyed'.

So when he returned to the practice room, he announced that today's rehearsal was over ahead of schedule, and then he was about to leave home, carefully destroying these spiritual opium, so as not to poison the "12-year-old Kaihu" and "[-]-year-old raped women" in Jia's mansion. innocent boys.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the intersection between the two gates, two people jumped out diagonally, one on the left and the other on the right, and caught him in the middle!

Chapter 80

In the northwest of Rongguo Mansion, Yiran Xuan.

Since moving out of Lixiangyuan, the Xue family has lived here. Although it is not as quiet and independent as the original Lixiangyuan, it is far away from the residences of Jia Zheng and Jiahe, and there is a lot less restraint. Flat appetite.
