Detective in the Red Chamber

"okay."

Sun Shaozong raised his hand and stopped his hesitation: "What do you think I can't do without you? I have already found a suitable candidate in the past few days. This person is proficient in criminal names and laws, and has been in the officialdom for many years. Helping with all my heart, one is worth you and the three are useless."

"That's good, that's good!

Liu Xianglian does things based on her temperament, and she often thinks that what happens is what happens, but she seldom regrets it afterwards.

However, this time, I first asked Sun Shaozong to become a master, and within half a month he resigned from his job, but he felt a little sorry in his heart. He had long wanted to make a serious apology, but he didn't know how to make it up.

At this time, I heard that Sun Shaozong had found a better replacement, and immediately felt a big stone in my heart, and his mouth also became sharp, gesticulating and talking about many rare things in recent days.

Most of them are inseparable from Jiang Yuhan's new team.

How did Jiang Yuhan dig into the wall and quickly established a backbone team; why did Jia Lian show an extraordinary talent after only a few days of learning opera...

"According to Qiguan, if it wasn't for Lian's second brother not being in this business, he would be afraid that the disciples of the church would starve to death of the master."

I never thought Jia Lian had this talent.

It seems that even if the Rongguo Mansion is defeated in the future, he can still live by singing.

While the two were talking, they had reached the back door of Jia She's house.

Originally, there was no need to go in, but since Jia Amnesty claimed to be sick, Sun Shaozong, as a junior in-law, always wanted to visit.

And because Liu Xianglian hated Jia Amnesty very much, she insisted on staying outside and let Sun Shaozong go alone.

After Sun Shaozong left him, under the leadership of his servants, he went to a certain side hall to wait. After waiting for a long time, Jia She did not come out, but he could hear the singing of warblers and swallows in the corridor.

He looked out suspiciously, and saw Jia Yingchun leading the way, followed by Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Jia Tanchun, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, all dressed in plain clothes, all bright and charming.

Seeing Zuo Jin, Jia Yingchun led Second Sister You away from the other sisters, and saluted at the entrance of the hall: "Erlang, don't blame me, my father's illness can't stand the wind, so he just sent a word, let me thank Erlang on his behalf." .”

This sick person is much more dedicated than Jia Baoyu.

Sun Shaozong casually said "concern" about his condition, and the uncle and sister-in-law left the flower hall together.

Because they are in-laws of the Tong family, they will go to Dongfu to mourn together later, so those Yingying and Yanyan didn't shy away, and they all came forward to pay respects.

Sun Shaozong was dazzled, and someone in the corridor suddenly raised his voice: "Is everything ready? If it's ready, let's go!"

This rough and foul voice didn't seem like he was going to mourn a funeral, but rather he was going to smash the scene.

Sun Shaozong followed the prestige, and saw Mrs. Xing was standing with Mrs. You with a gloomy face, and found that when he looked over, he only forced a smile, and then returned to his original dead face.

What's the matter?

Because she has always been generous, every time Sun Shaozong comes, Mrs. Xing always smiles, but what's going on with her face today?

"Father."

At this time, Second Sister You came up in a timely manner, and whispered: "Just now, Mrs. Xing forced the eldest lady to ask the eldest wife whether she and the second grandmother of the family did the timber business in the south, and asked how much money she had earned—— Our eldest wife refused to reveal a word."

It turned out to be the case.

The couple really fell into the eyes of money!

Chapter 834

A quarter of an hour later, the flower hall in the backyard of Ningguo Mansion.

"Don't dare to delay any longer, the old and the young are sick a lot, it may be some kind of epidemic! After my aunt returns home, remember to ask the imperial doctor to take a look!"

Hearing You Shi's seemingly 'deep and sincere' words outside, but in reality, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Sure enough, clay figurines also have three parts of soil nature.

She, the master who was pinched and flattened by others, finally lost her temper after hitting a wall several times today.

Of course, this is also because of having a son under her knees, she has more confidence than before.

but……

Mrs. Xing was really weird.

Originally, after hearing Second Sister You's words, Sun Shaozong only thought that she was angry with Jia Yingchun's attitude, and then turned his anger on himself.

But along the way, it seems that this is not the case.

Rather than saying that she was fighting with someone, it would be better to say that she was out of her mind. If the maid beside her reminded her several times, she would have almost bumped into the railing at the corner.

Facing Youshi's cynicism at this time, he was also powerless, and had no intention of fighting back at all.

What is going on with her?

Sun Shaozong thought about it before and after, but he didn't think of why he came here. Then he suddenly came to his senses, why did he pay so much attention to an old woman?

After a burst of dumbfounded laughter, he didn't bother to think about anything anymore, and just chatted with Liu Xianglian.

But after talking for a while, I saw You Shi walked out with the support of two younger sisters.

I saw her tightly tied her hair in a bun with a piece of white cloth, and tied two long and three short hairpins behind her left ear, three plain white hairpins, simple and unadorned, but against the blue hair like a cloud like a waterfall.

Slightly disheveled bangs, that palm-sized face turned up to the sky, unobtrusively charming.

And the loose and thin sackcloth and plain clothes showed off her petite figure even more.

Sure enough, I want to be pretty and filial!

Sun Shaozong secretly praised, but his eyes fell behind the three of them - a little boy with a thick head and a thick head, who was being led by the nanny, followed step by step.

With just one glance, Sun Shaozong was sure: This must be his seed!

As for the group of waste wood in Ningguo Mansion who have been hollowed out by wine and sex, how could they give birth to such a real child?

"Brother Shao [shao], come and meet the two uncles!"

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at his son, Youshi shook off Third Sister You's support and pulled his son closer to them.

The little guy was not stage-frightened at all, he called out to his uncle in a childish voice, then raised his head to look at Sun Shaozong, it was probably the first time he saw such a burly man.

Sun Shaozong was also looking down at him, but Third Sister You found an excuse and quietly pulled Liu Xianglian into a corner.

At this moment, Youshi lowered his body and said softly to his son: "Brother Shao, it's cold outside, why don't you go inside with nanny first, and talk with grandma and aunts?"

The little guy was still a little reluctant, but after being coaxed by the nanny a few words, he was carried away obediently.

So in this courtyard, only Sun Shaozong, You Shi, and You Erjie are left.

Although there were people standing inside the house and in the corners of the yard, there was a lot of noise at this time, so as long as you spoke with your voice down, you were not afraid of being overheard.

Looking at each other, Youshi couldn't hide his joy and resentment, but he didn't dare to get too close to Sun Shaozong, so he lowered his eyes and said quietly: "I never wanted to meet Mr. Sun again, but I would It's on occasions like this."

After finishing speaking, I was speechless for a while with mixed feelings.

Seeing this, Second Sister You hurriedly shoved her, and urged her repeatedly: "Sister, there is no delay right now, let's clarify the business first!"

It was only then that Youshi came to a sudden, and suddenly bowed and said: "The father and son are not at home now, and I am a woman, and I really can't handle such a big scene. Please look at the situation between the second sister and brother Shao, Mrs. Sun." On the score, come forward and help me host one or two."

It turned out that Xiangyang presided over the funeral by himself.

Sun Shaozong has never done this job.

But she moved her son out, how could Sun Shaozong refuse?

Immediately, he quickly called Liu Xianglian over, and the two brothers-in-law assigned each other errands, and called the housekeepers one by one to identify them.

If it were someone else, even with the title of brother-in-law, it would be difficult to convince the public to suddenly preside over the funeral in Ningguo Mansion.

But what is Sun Shaozong's reputation now?

Not to mention being a real fourth-rank official!

The journey is smooth and smooth, even if you want to find a stabbing head to scare the chickens and monkeys, there is nowhere to start.

That being the case, Sun Shaozong was naturally even more lazy to be polite, and at the moment he made a big noise and arranged errands for them one by one.

As for the most difficult issue of order in front of the gate, he brought the chief steward of the house and more than [-] servants to rectify it in person.

The chaos outside the gate of the Ningguo mansion, the chaos and the chaos, the truth is complicated, how can it compare to the banquet of thousands of old people back then?

With Sun Shaozong's 'talent', the situation changed drastically after a combing.

However, while sorting out the order in front of the gate, Sun Shaozong also found that among the guests who came, nobles accounted for only a very small part, and even military generals were rare, but many civil servants came.

This is weird.

Although among the civil servants, there are always people who are sycophants, even if there are a few who follow the wind, they take the opportunity to pat the ass of the Rongning Second Mansion, which is not a rare thing.

But most literati still need face.

It's not impossible to do the kneeling and licking thing, but at least it won't be so obvious.

Could it be that……

There is something else going on here?

Just as she was wondering, Liu Xianglian suddenly came over by herself, with an indescribably serious expression on her face.

When Sun Shao saw Zongzong's heart tightened, he immediately pressed his voice and asked, "What, is there something wrong inside?"

Liu Xianglian also said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother, I'm afraid these people are not here to mourn the funeral, but to point fingers at Sang Huai!"

"What do you mean?"

"In the elegiac couplets and sacrificing speeches, there are many things aimed at Taoist priests and alchemists, some of which are fierce, and they simply denounce the alchemists for harming the country and harming the people!"

Harm the country and the people?

Sun Shaozong's face darkened immediately, and he ordered the chief steward to be on duty outside, and took Liu Xianglian to the middle of the mourning hall in strides.

At this time, Youshi was leading his daughter-in-law Hushi, kneeling on the straw mats on both sides of the mourning hall, listening to a middle-aged scribe, reciting the sacrificial oration in rhythmic rhythms, with tears in his eyes.

Sun Shaozong listened outside the door for a while, and found that the scribe first praised Jia very highly, and then said that if he hadn't been delayed by the illusory immortality, he should be the mainstay in the court right now.

Then following this topic, he began to cite scriptures and scold alchemists for harming the country and the people.

Sure enough, he was referring to Sang scolding Huai!

And it's not someone else who scolded, it's His Majesty today!

Sun Shaozong felt his scalp tingling for a moment, no wonder in recent days, the northern and southern Taoist sects have been fighting in the capital city, and the disciples of Confucius and Mencius in the court all died down without any reaction.

Emotional people are holding back their big moves!

It's also unlucky, the big move they held back was caught up by myself!

This wave of criticism from the Central Committee is afraid that sooner or later it will reach Emperor Guangde. At that time, if I come forward to maintain order, if I say that I have nothing to do with them, who will believe it?

But up to now, he did not dare to stop the actions of civil servants, otherwise, in the court hall in the future, he might be the enemy of right and wrong.

Moreover, if you offend these scholastic leaders who control public opinion, you may not even be able to keep the reputation you have managed so easily.

That's all~

Right now, I can only pretend to be confused, and try to get myself out as much as possible.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked around to the backyard, not caring that Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and others were there, and whispered to Second Sister You.

Second Sister You got the order, so naturally she didn't dare to be negligent, she hurriedly dragged her own mother and hurried to the front yard.

Sun Shaozong wanted to wait outside, but was stopped by Jia Tanchun.

"Second brother of the Sun family, what happened earlier? Shall we go back and inform our ancestors?"

After being asked by her, Sun Shaozong realized that Yingying and Yanyan were all in the room, and they were all looking at him curiously.

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said: "We can't control this matter, and we can't - if you sisters have nothing to do, it's best to go home separately, and don't get involved in this big trouble."

After saying that, regardless of whether everyone was satisfied or not, they walked away.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Because of her relationship with her god-sister Ruan Rong, Lin Daiyu was the first to worry: "What kind of character is the second elder brother of the Sun family? He even said that he can't control it, he dare not control it!"

Shi Xiangyun was the most curious, so he blinked his big eyes and urged: "Why don't we send someone outside to inquire about it? Maybe we can help you!"

"No!"

"do not!"

But Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun blocked it with one voice, they both said that a few girls could intervene in what Sun Shaozong found difficult?

Seeing Shi Xiangyun's eyeballs moving, he was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly sent a maid to ask Mrs. Xing next door to see if he could take all the sisters back to Rongguo Mansion.
