Detective in the Red Chamber

It's a pity that the mysterious person at the beginning has already fallen behind.

Of course, there was no need for Sun Shaozong to explain clearly to him, he nodded noncommittal immediately, and began to ask about the inside story of the White Lotus Sect.

However, Su Xingfang only had one-line contact with Aunt Li at the beginning, and he heard some inside stories from her, and Aunt Li's subordinates had already confessed to these inside stories.

After asking several questions repeatedly and confirming that he was not lying, Sun Shaozong completely lost his mind.

And next, it's time to consider how to deal with Su Xingfang!

With his hands behind his back, Sun Shaozong paced back and forth in the autopsy room, glancing at Su Xingfang from time to time.

To be honest, this Su Xingfang is a rare talent, and even more a conscientious and good official!

And the masters and apprentices of Daoyan, Cao Juji and others who died in his hands can be regarded as more than dead. When Cao Juji was in Shaanxi and Gansu, the lawsuits against the lives of his subordinates were controversial.

just

Sun Shaozong stopped in front of Su Xingfang, stared into his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you have only one death, and you must plead guilty and be executed!"

No matter how rare a talent is, Sun Shaozong didn't dare to keep such a time bomb in his hands. After all, Zhao Jiayi had already heard about it, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not investigate secretly.

"As for your wife and children, I can only promise to try my best to keep them. If things go wrong, I can only blame them for their bad luck."

It is estimated that few people would agree to such an ambiguous promise.

But Su Xingfang is undoubtedly a smart person, he knows that he has no room to bargain at all, and he is very lucky to get Sun Shaozong's promise to help him!

So after hearing this, he kowtowed without hesitation: "Thank you for taking care of me, my lord! Su Xingfang has nothing to repay in this life, but in the next life"

"Don't rush to talk about the afterlife, first talk about the present!"

Sun Shaozong interrupted him, and asked word by word: "How should you deal with your mother?"

Sun Shaozong originally thought that he would definitely ask again, after all, he was a well-known filial son in the capital.

Unexpectedly, Su Xingfang was silent for a moment, but he solemnly asked: "Master Sun, please allow Su to go home and bid farewell to mother."

This is not the answer to the question, is it

Sun Shaozong sized him up for a while, and finally nodded in response.

Half an hour later, the small ancestral hall of the Su family.

吱呦

The sound of the wooden door opening was not loud, but it caught a dozen pairs of eyes in an instant.

Under the eyes of everyone, Su Xingfang stepped out of the ancestral hall like a walking corpse, stood in front of everyone in a daze for a long time, then opened his mouth and showed a smile uglier than crying.

"My mother committed suicide when she heard that I had made such a big mistake."

An extremely short sentence, but every word gives people the feeling of weeping blood.

As soon as Sun Shaozong waved his hand, Huang Bin immediately led someone in, and after a while came back with a strange expression, saying that the old lady had hanged herself.

When it came to the word suicide, he obviously hesitated, and he obviously found something strange.

However, Sun Shaozong's willingness to let Su Xingfang come back to see his mother was a little weird, so he didn't dare to speak rashly. Anyway, as long as Sun Shaozong went in, he would be able to see the clue.

But why does Sun Shaozong need to go in and investigate?

As early as seeing Su Xingfang's appearance when he came out, he knew what was going on.

Killing his uncle first and then his mother, this dutiful son is really thorough!

But if he doesn't do this, damn it, none of them will be able to escape, even the whole family, young and old, will go to the underworld together.

And Su's mother will definitely suffer all kinds of torture before she dies.

He killed his uncle, he killed his mother, but he knew that he was a uh, he shouldn't have such a thick skin.

Ugh

Sun Shaozong sighed, raised his hand and said, "Come here, take the criminal Sun Xingfang back to Dali Temple for interrogation."

After two rounds, Qi Qi responded, but suddenly there was a voice from outside the courtyard wall:

"Master Sun wait a minute!"

Chapter 732 Flexibility and Stretch

"Master Sun wait a minute!"

Before the lingering sound fell, a few dragon guards came in with their sabers. The leader was none other than Zhao Jiayi, who repayed his favor one by one.

After entering the yard, he sized up Su Xingfang first, with a triumphant and ferocious curve of his mouth, then smiled and cupped his hands at Sun Shaozong: "Sun"

Sun Shaozong was the first to praise: "Zhao Qianhu is indeed Gao Yi!"

The expression on Zhao Jiayi's face faltered, but immediately came alive again. Zhu'er, who hangs out in the officialdom, doesn't matter anywhere else. This thick-skinned will never lose to ordinary people.

He bowed earnestly and said, "Master Sun, please don't misunderstand, this Su Zhi County, our North Town Fusi has been watching for more than two years, just pointing out how many big fish we can catch."

"Just then I heard a report from the people below that someone suddenly wanted to question him. The officials were afraid that there would be some misunderstanding, so I brought the person here but never thought that it would be Mr. Sun in person."

Talking nonsense with eyes open is a cheeky advanced skill. It seems that there was a reason why Lu Hui valued Zhao Jiayi at the beginning.

But when he heard his random reasons, Sun Shaozong was not annoyed, and smiled indifferently: "If you can wait for two full years, Zhao Qianhu is indeed the most tolerant person from Beizhen Fusi. Take Su Xingfang's wife and children back for interrogation!"

Zhao Jiayi didn't think much of the previous sarcasm, but when he said the latter, he immediately changed his expression, and shouted with crossed arms: "Wait a minute! Master Sun, this matter of Suzhi County is involved."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Shaozong rushed to say again: "Su Xingfang involved two lives, and he deliberately wrote down the official's name and surname on the summoning banner. If this official does not personally punish him for such a provocative act, he will be punished in the future." How to convince the public?!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Take it away, I'll see who dares to stop it!"

A few yamen servants behind him were still hesitating, but Huang Bin rushed into the west chamber like a wolf, and dragged out the lady of the Su family who was hiding behind the door with her child in her arms and crying.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiayi's complexion gradually turned serious.

If possible, he would naturally not want to offend Sun Shaozong.

However, he has always been on his shoulders to track down the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and because there has been no progress in the past two years, I don't know how much he has been scolded by his superiors for this.

Seeing that a big fish was finally dug out, but it fell into Sun Shaozong's hands. If the news spread, wouldn't it further highlight his incompetence?

That's why he didn't care about the life-saving grace of the society, and intended to cut off halfway, so as to make up for it and save one or two.

But seeing Sun Shaozong's attitude of not giving an inch, he still didn't dare to force it, cupped his hands again, and said with a forced smile: "Master Sun, the case is naturally for you to judge, as for this person, it is our Beizhen Fusi Gang." It's safe to send them over there under escort."

Fearing that Sun Shaozong would interrupt him again, he quickly added: "It's not worth mentioning that it's cheap, and I will have an explanation when I go back, otherwise"

Having said that, he pressed the saber on his waist with a sullen face: "It's about the imperial court and society. I'm afraid I can only offend you if I'm forced to do so."

Originally, after hearing the previous two sentences, Sun Shaozong's heart was still a little moved. After all, he didn't intend to save Su Xingfang's life. For this reason, fighting with Beizhen Fusi was really not worth the candle.

But after hearing the latter sentence, he suddenly changed his mind.

"offend?"

Sun Shaozong snorted, put his hands behind his hands, and strolled towards Zhao Jiayi in a leisurely manner.

What Zhao Jiayi said just now was decisive, but seeing Sun Shaozong's tall and burly body pressing down like a mountain, he couldn't help panicking.

If Sun Shaozong shot directly, or spoke rudely, it would be easy to deal with it, but now that he walked over with his hands behind his back, it would be difficult for him to draw his sword directly, right?

So he had no choice but to back away in embarrassment, and pulled the tiger's skin again in his mouth: "Master Sun, you must not make mistakes! This is an imperial case, and our North Town Fusi has always been fully responsible. Escorted to Dali Temple for trial first, it is already in view."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly staggered. If he hadn't supported the door frame in time, he would have almost fallen on his back.

But even so, he sat down on the threshold.

But it turned out that he was talking in his mouth, and his feet kept retreating, and he was forced to the gate of the courtyard by Sun Shaozong.

This fall was not heavy, but it immediately made Zhao Jiayi blush. He came here this time just to save face, but now he lost face in public.

If he continued to retreat, how could he gain a foothold in Fusi, Beizhen, where the weak preyed on the strong?

Thinking of this, a bad breath suddenly rose in his chest, he jumped up suddenly and was about to pull out the knife from his waist!

But before he exerted his strength, the other hand came after him, and the back of his hand was like a heavy burden.

"Where did Zhao Qianhu fall?"

Sun Shaozong took advantage of the opportunity to pull him up from the ground, and even helped him brush off the dust on his clothes, and then said kindly: "You are also a little impatient, not to mention that I once served in Beizhen Fusi, even without this I have already agreed that I will hand over the person to Beizhen Fusi for disposal."

As he said that, he turned around and said, "Huang Bin, go to Beizhen Fusi as soon as possible, and invite Chen Xingzhi, who is in charge of Qianhu, to Dali Temple. After the trial of this life case is over, the suspect will be handed over to Chen Qianhu for disposal."

Hearing that Sun Shaozong called his name again, Huang Bin knew that a few things before and after had caught Master Shaoqing's attention, and he seemed to be overjoyed at the moment, bowed and cupped his fists in response, and rushed out excitedly.

Zhao Jiayi's complexion changed, and when Huang Bin passed by, he even raised his hand to stop him, but he didn't dare to utter the words after all.

Chen Xingzhi is Zhao Jiayi's immediate boss.

When Lu Hui placed Zhao Jiayi under Chen Xingzhi's command, he probably planned to let him replace him.

It's a pity that Lu Hui didn't sit in the town governor's seat for long, and accompanied Dai Quan to guard the imperial mausoleum. Zhao Jiayi also changed from a key cultivation target to a former court official who didn't love his grandma and uncle.

With this kind of origin, Chen Xingzhi naturally has a grudge against him. In recent years, he has been picking his nose and eyes, and he doesn't know how many small shoes he has worn.

And Zhao Jiayi's eagerness to perform meritorious service is precisely to get rid of this embarrassing situation.

But who would have thought that it would be cheaper for that surnamed Chen in the end!

but

Didn't Chen Xingzhi and Sun Shaozong have a quarrel for a long time?

"All right."

At this time, Sun Shaozong waved his hand again, and ordered without hesitation: "The yamen servants of Dali Temple are in charge of escorting the transport, and the people from the Fusi of Beizhen will support them to ensure that everything is safe on the way!"

After a pause, seeing that everyone was looking at each other in dismay, but no one took orders, Sun Shaozong's face sank again, and he scolded: "Aren't they all deaf? Why don't you hurry up and move!"

Everyone in Dali Temple seemed annoyed when they saw him, so they hurriedly escorted Su Xingfang's family and walked out cautiously.

However, the Long Guards on both sides coincided with each other and focused their attention on Zhao Jiayi.

Seeing that Zhao Jiayi was silent for a while with a gloomy face, he suddenly stomped his feet and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? You still haven't followed Master Sun's orders!"

Then he bowed his hands to Sun Shaozong: "This is a big matter, and I should report it to Mr. Chen personally. It is safer to let Mr. Sun take full power to deal with it here. I will go ahead!"

With that said, he turned around and flew away.

This guy

It can bend and stretch.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, he simply came to push the boat along the way, and used this excuse to show his favor to Chen Xingzhi.

Chapter 733 The Gift of King Zhongshun

Night is approaching.

The wheels made a creaking sound when they were crushed in the foot-deep snow.

Sun Shaozong was lying on his back in the carriage with a hand stove in his arms, smacking at the conversation he had just had with Chen Xingzhi, he really didn't know what it was like.

It was unexpectedly easy to save Su Xingfang's wife and children.

But the process in between made Sun Shaozong quite speechless.

At that time, Sun Shaozong beat around the bush, and when he mentioned Su Xingfang's wife and children, he originally wanted to find out what Chen Xingzhi said first, and then decide how to explain it.

Unexpectedly, the probing words hadn't been finished yet, Chen Xingzhi said wretchedly: that young lady of the Su family is indeed a good-looking person.

Motherfucker!

Who is he taking himself for?

At that moment, Sun Shaozong was annoyed, he gritted his teeth and stared, and then came to a direct acquiescence - no matter what, there is nothing wrong with saving people first.

Afterwards, Su Xingfang's wife and children were left in Dali Temple, and they could be formally brought into the Sun's residence in the name of officials selling slaves only after the clerk walked through Jiaofangsi.

The results alone are actually acceptable.

But this process...

Forget it, the process is actually not important, the important thing is that you have completed the agreement.

As for whether to 'your wife, I will support her', it depends on how the lady of the Su family decides.

"Wow~!"
