Detective in the Red Chamber

Wei Yi was about to reach out his hand, but Sun Shaozong had already accepted Wang Erhu's suicide note, he shook it off without hesitation, and scanned it word by word.

After reading for a long time, he suddenly raised his head again, stared at Chen Jingde and asked word by word: "Deputy Chen Si, do the details of Wang Erhu's confession in the suicide note match the case?"

"Match."

Chen Jingde bowed and replied: "The toxicity detected by the author is basically consistent with the remaining poison in Wang Erhu's home."

"Before the incident, how he prepared to poison, and after the incident, how he exchanged the poisoned utensils and meals with the leftovers, cups, plates and chopsticks left by other guests are also very true. "

Sun Shaozong smiled slightly when he heard the words, but he was noncommittal to these words.

The scene was awkward for a while, so Wei Yi hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Since the confession in the suicide note is consistent with the facts of the case, there shouldn't be any difference, Sun."

Speaking of this, he subconsciously cast his eyes on Sun Shaozong, then hurriedly turned to Li Shan, and solemnly confessed: "Li Shaoqing, I trouble you to go to the household department with Deputy Chen Si and tell the truth about the case. In order to prevent the household department from being suspicious all day long, and even neglecting serious official duties."

Now that he is devastated by the financial crisis, he is naturally eager to take the opportunity to sell it to the household department so that the funds he applied for can be allocated as soon as possible.

Li Shan didn't think too much, got up and said: "My lord, don't worry, Li will do it now"

"Wait a minute."

Sun Shaozong suddenly interrupted them, shook the suicide note in his hand, and said with a smile: "Since there are so many details listed in this suicide note, it can be seen that Wang Erhu was concerned about every move of Lu Gejian on the day when he was poisoned."

"Then I'm confused. Since he recorded it so thoroughly in the suicide note, why did he mention it vaguely twice to another diner?"

"Taking a step back, as long as he truthfully tells the government about the guest's appearance, wouldn't it be easy for him to get rid of his suspicions?"

"In this case, why bother to commit suicide?!"

"Sun Shaoqing really deserves the name of 'Divine Judgment'."

But after listening to Sun Shaozong's analysis, Wei Yi immediately changed his expression - but it was not because he was slapped in the face into anger, but because he was convinced and admiring.

When Sun Shaozong saw this, his heart skipped a beat, but he wanted to go back and make up a few words, but it was too late.

Then Wei Yi said decisively: "If Sun Shaoqing's words hadn't awakened the dreamer, I would have made a big mistake. From this point of view, I am afraid that Sun Shaoqing would not have personally supervised the handling of this case, so the truth will come to light one day!"

Then, he got up and left the table and bowed to the end: "This case is not only related to the Ministry of Household Affairs and even the national treasury, but also to the salary of my Dali Temple. I hope Master Sun will see it for the sake of hundreds of colleagues, and don't make excuses anymore. words."

tsk~

Sure enough, he was fooled!

It turned out that his performance just now was all to push the boat forward and pass the case on to himself!

It's also my fault that my mentality was not stable, and I underestimated him for a while—no matter how he was a vegetarian, Wei Yi had been a court officer for seven years, and his mental skills were unmatched.

It was already too late to refuse at this time, while Sun Shaozong was secretly introspecting, he had no choice but to stand up and return the courtesy: "Your Excellency, it is serious, since it is for the sake of colleagues from all over the family, Sun is obliged to do so."

"Good, good, good!"

Wei Yi swept away the haze of the past few days, pointed at Sun Shaozong with a smile on his face and said, "Deputy Chen Si, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and report all the details of this case to Mr. Sun carefully!"

After making this sharp turn, Chen Jingde had been dumbfounded for a long time, and it wasn't until Wei Yi called his name that he came to his senses.

Even if it dawned on him that he was being used as an abandoned son by Wei Yi, would it be too late if he wanted to regret it?

With a sad face, he could only stumble and describe the details of the case to Sun Shaozong.

But he didn't know that his performance made Sun Shaozong shake his head.

If Chen Jingde and Wei Yi were accomplices, Sun Shaozong would probably look at him with high regard, but it was obviously being used as toilet paper, which shows that he not only failed to solve the case, but also was muddle-headed when he was an official.

Speaking of this calculation, apart from Sicheng Yang Zhiming, who is a good hand in internal affairs and logistics, the rest are mostly useless idiots!

It seems that we must think about the rules as soon as possible, and find a few trustworthy subordinates who are smart enough.

The book is back to normal.

But it was said that Sun Shaozong was listening to the report of the case attentively, when a small official rushed in outside and whispered something in Wei Yi's ear.

Wei Yi was originally smiling while twisting his beard, when he heard it for a while, his hands trembled and he pulled off a few beards, then he asked involuntarily, "Sun Shaoqing, Yang Shilang's younger brother, why did he die in our prison in Dali Temple?!"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him casually, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to ask about this matter."

"What does Sun Shaoqing mean by this?"

Seeing Sun Shaozong's response in this way, Wei Yi's face immediately darkened.

Reporting the case to the emperor by leapfrogging just broke the unspoken rules, and did not touch the core interests; but this blatant denial of his overall leadership of Dali Temple was absolutely intolerable to Wei Yi.

"Master Ting Wei, don't worry."

Sun Shaozong spread his hands, and didn't care about Wei Yi's anger at all: "It's just because Yang Hancai still has a court order hidden in him, so the people from the Fusi of Beizhen came quietly, intending to force him to confess, but who knew that he was inadvertently tortured?" It was too heavy, and he died on the spot."

"I have negotiated with Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi before, and this matter will be reported by Beizhen Fusi according to the facts."

After hearing these words, Wei Yi's expression softened a little, but he still frowned and said, "But he died here after all, and you, Sun Shaoqing, captured him personally..."

This time, Sun Shaozong just smiled and ignored his words.

Seeing this, Wei Yi was a little annoyed, and wanted to reprimand him a few more words, but on second thought, he was still pointing at Sun Shaozong to solve the case, and it was really not good to continue to offend him at this time, so he had to swallow his anger first.

…………

Evening is near.

After most of the day's trivial and chaotic, almost futile busyness, until he drove out of the east corner gate of Dali Temple, Sun Shaozong finally had the opportunity to review today's omissions.

Starting from the sudden appearance of the Fusi from Beizhen, his response seemed to be decent on the surface, but in fact it was at a loss.

The root cause is nothing more than being too disappointed with the morals of the world, the court, and the emperor, which leads to an unstable mentality.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Sun Shaozong has seen through this world long ago-compared with later generations, he has tried his best to cover it up. These days, the eating appearance of the superiors is more than a hundred times naked.

Therefore, when it is easy to hear that there are officials and gentry who bully others and hurt their lives, Sun Shaozong just takes it as normal and may not be able to squeeze out much sympathy.

But this time it was different. There were 24 boys and girls, the oldest was only 12 years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

Just because of the selfishness of the superior, he was literally gouged out...

Sun Shaozong also had sons and daughters, so he couldn't be hard-hearted after all.

I'm afraid only a nobleman like King Zhongshun, who regards human life as worthless from the bottom of his heart, can eat this elixir cultivated by his heart and soul, right?

Speechless all the way.

The carriage entered the mansion through the corner gate, and just as Sun Shaozong got off the carriage, Wang Jin, the concierge, came looking for him again.

Ever since Zhao Zhongji was sent to Zhang An's house to help with the funeral, Wang Jin was very active and took on many official responsibilities. The root cause was that he was concerned about the job of the second housekeeper.

Originally, although Old Uncle Wei had retired honorably and lived a life with his wife and children, he never resigned from his position as the chief housekeeper.

So although Zhao Zhongji is in charge of the ups and downs, he is a second housekeeper in name.

It was not until Sun Shaozong returned to Beijing recently that he officially resigned from the official position.

Zhao Zhongji was the one who was promoted to the chief manager without hesitation, and the job of the second housekeeper was taken into consideration by the dignitaries in the house.

But they were thinking in vain, Sun Shaozong had already made a decision, and when the original concierge Liu An came back from Jiangnan, he would be the second housekeeper's errand.

Speaking of Liu An, the matter of Cheng Rixing seemed to be on the agenda as well—Sun Shaozong had promised him at the beginning that as long as he worked diligently to take care of the timber business, he would help find an errand for the county magistrate.

Seeing that he was about to return to Beijing, he naturally had to prepare in advance for running an official job.

But he said that Sun Shaozong was unconsciously distracted, so he heard Wang Jin report: "Second Master, Uncle Bao from Rongguo Mansion is here - he said he was escorting his wife and aunt back to the mansion, but he didn't leave when he came. I've been sitting in the living room for half a day."

Speaking of this, Wang Jin slightly lowered his voice: "The villain looks at Uncle Bao as if he has lost his soul, and I'm afraid he has encountered something embarrassing."

Embarrassment?

The concubine De in the palace had just had a happy event, and Baoyu, the "uncle of the country", was just at the time when the tide was rising, but why did he encounter embarrassing things?

It can't be another emotional entanglement or something like that, moaning without illness, right?

Usually it's fine, but now that he pretends to be a tragic case of injustice, how can Sun Shaozong still care to listen to such romantic things?

Even if you want to listen, you should find a woman!

But since Baoyu came and sat in the front hall for half a day, he should go and have a look at it out of reason.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong rushed to the front hall patiently, preparing to send this guy away first with a few words.

wrong!

At this time, no matter what, let him eat before leaving.

Hey~

It's really troublesome.

"Wang Jin."

Sun Shaozong turned his head and ordered: "Go and prepare two jars of strong wine, and the shochu from the Jinmen Mansion will be enough."

This was a determined decision to get Jia Baoyu drunk, and then leave the guest room to calm down—when he wakes up in the morning, Sun Shaozong should also go to work in the Yamen.

Unexpectedly, after entering the living room, before he could sit down and exchange greetings, Baoyu asked in a daze: "Second brother, if you accidentally accidentally hurt someone's life, what would you do?" disposal?"

Chapter 717 It's Just Hypocrisy

first change

this question

Sun Shaozong was taken aback for a moment, then sat down calmly at the top, knocked on the coffee table with his fingers, and asked without answering: "Why, do you want to kill relatives righteously?"

"No!"

Jia Baoyu hurriedly shook his hand, and then hesitated with a tangled face: "I'm just just just"

After a few moments, he really couldn't find the right words to describe the entanglement in his heart at the moment.

At this moment, a servant came in with a cup of tea, Jia Baoyu hurriedly closed his mouth, thinking deeply.

But until the young man replaced the tea and left the door silently, he was still in distress.

"Tell me, something rare happened in your family again." Seeing this, Sun Shaozong leaned back lazily, putting on an attitude of listening attentively.

Jia Baoyu had always had great trust in Second Brother Sun, and besides, it was only after Sun Shaozong reminded him that he realized that his family's attitude towards servants might not be very clean.

Therefore, when Sun Shaozong asked him what was going on, he hesitated for a moment, and then said embarrassingly: "Speaking of which, the second brother also recognizes this person."

Back then, the story of Ping'er and Xiaohong spending the night with Sun Shaozong had already spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion, so Jia Baoyu naturally knew about it.

So when he came to this point, he couldn't help taking a peek at Sun Shaozong, and then continued: "It was Xiaohong, who had served in our courtyard, who was accidentally beaten to death by Sister Feng this morning."

"what?"

Hearing that Lin Hongyu was accidentally beaten to death by Wang Xifeng, Sun Shaozong couldn't help being startled, he leaned forward, and wanted to ask why.

Suddenly, he remembered what Jia Lian had mentioned, and suddenly realized something.

He still revealed that matter to Ping'er himself, and at the same time, he revealed it to Wang Xifeng indirectly. With Wang Xifeng's temper, when he learned that Jia Lian intended to borrow his son to carry on the business, he naturally refused to let it go.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he killed Lin Hongyu himself!

However, when he revealed the news at the time, he only hoped that Wang Xifeng would come forward and stir up this trouble, but he never thought that she would be so ruthless and directly took Lin Hongyu's life.

Ugh

Sure enough, people are not as good as God.

Although he had deduced most of it in his heart, Sun Shaozong didn't show the slightest bit on his face, he was still puzzled, and asked: "What's going on here?"

"I don't know exactly what happened."

Jia Baoyu said helplessly: "But judging from the scratch marks on the back of Sister Feng's right hand, it seems that when Sister Feng punished Xiaohong for something, Xiaohong tried to resist after being punished, and in the chaos, she was mistaken by Sister Feng accidentally Killed by hand."

Just looking at the two adjectives careless and wrong hands, one can tell that he still favors Wang Xifeng in his heart.

But that being the case, what is there to worry about?

Could it be because Xiaohong once served in his courtyard, so the two of them have some remaining affection

"No no no!"

Jia Baoyu listened to Sun Shaozong's tactful words, but it was obvious that he was going down the third road.Busy tried her best to clarify: "I have nothing to do with her, there is absolutely nothing to quarrel with her!"
