Detective in the Red Chamber

The height is less than 1.8 meters, the depth is less than 1.5 meters, and the width is less than 1.2 meters. They are all built with thin wood boards. They are not populated on weekdays, and they are almost covered by weeds.

Sun Shaozong looked at the dove-cage-like room and said speechlessly, "Is this the place where scholars and people get their fame?"

When I used to watch costume dramas, the examination rooms inside were shabby enough, but I didn't expect the reality to be much worse.

"If it's not here, where else can it be?"

Cheng Rixing smiled bitterly and said, "I am dissatisfied with you, my lord. After taking the exam for more than ten years, my calf tends to twist when I see a number room. I suffer from nine days and seven nights. I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, and I still have stomach trouble after drinking two sips of cold water..."

Sun Shaozong resisted the musty smell, looked in with his head, frowned and said, "How are you going to sleep tonight?"

This time it was Zhou Da who rushed to explain, "My lord, usually after the [-]th of August, our Shuntian Mansion will send people over to clean up and repair it, and then two more wooden boards will be placed in each numbered room—you Look, aren't there two horizontal beams nailed to the wall?"

He got into a numbered room, and gestured on the wall, "When the time comes, put one on top as a desk and one on the bottom as a chair, and if you're tired, put both boards down and lean against the wall for a while. "

As he spoke, Zhou Da leaned leaning against the wooden wall. The wooden wall shook slightly, but he heard a 'buzz' from the next door, and then hundreds of wasps rushed out!

I'm going~

Suddenly, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"Run!"

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong's reaction was fairly quick, he yelled suddenly, turned his head and ran wildly.

Later, Cheng Rixing, Zhao Wuwei, Zhou Da and others suddenly realized, and quickly ran away with their heads in their arms.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Sun Shaozong "escaped in embarrassment" since he traveled through time—and this time, he escaped for more than three miles, and finally avoided the pursuit of the hornets.

Others were okay, at most they were stung once or twice, and Sun Shaozong was unscathed.

Because Zhou Da was posing in the number room, his reaction was half a beat slower than others, and he was stung more than a dozen times at least. After a while, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and his tongue was even bigger. A lap!

Sun Shaozong was afraid that he was allergic to bee venom, so he confessed his life in a muddle-headed manner, so he hurriedly sent him to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Only in this way, the trip to the Gongyuan had to be declared over in an anticlimactic manner.

--split line--

In the evening, when Sun Shaozong returned home, he saw Xiangling coming to greet him, and then he remembered that he was so busy that he forgot his business—Xiangling had been waiting all this time, and he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to check the files.

only……

Sun Shaozong originally wanted to entrust this task to Zhou Dalai, but now that he has been stung into such a ghostly appearance, how can he still have the face to go to the Ministry of Punishment to flaunt it?

It seems that we can only find another suitable candidate.

Chapter 104

But it is said that when Sun Shaozong was anticlimactic, the Zigong Academy "returned with feathers".

In the boudoir in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, there is also a pair of master and servant who are 'missing' him.

"How did grandma agree to that Lai Da just now?"

Ping'er was sitting at the end of the bed, holding an embroidery frame in his hand, but he didn't see the needle for a long time, but his red lips fluttered up and down. , it is not comparable to renting usury and champering lawsuits, in case something bad happens, what should we do?"

But it turned out that Lai and his wife came to the door just now and mentioned Lai Shangrong's participation in Jinke Qiuwei.

Unexpectedly, with a little bit of talk, Wang Xifeng took it all in, promising to make peace in the middle and open the joints for Lai Shangrong.

Mrs. Lai only thought that she really had a plan in mind, so they went there with a thousand gratitude.

But Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng's method of "studying and grinding" had only made a head start now, and he was probably still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from being successful.

Wang Xifeng was reclining on the head of the bed with her eyes closed, and after hearing Ping'er's words, she took off her embroidered shoes, kicked Ping'er's back with her foot, and said with feigned anger, "What's good or bad, you little boy!" Can't Hoof hope for me?"

Now that she had stretched it out, she didn't bother to retract it, so she raised her five toes like Tilian's and fiddled with Ping'er's waist.

At the same time, he said, "Relying on the old lady's favor, the Lai family usually took a lot of benefits from our family, and finally took the opportunity to get it back. How can I let it go?!"

"Furthermore, although Sun Jia Erlang is an inexperienced thing, he is the most shrewd and meticulous in his actions - it may not be so easy for others to find out his faults!"

Ping'er felt uncomfortable being teased by her, quickly pinned down that fair little foot, and said angrily, "Grandma can only use this trick on Second Master, but how can she use it to bully me?"

As he spoke, he scratched the sole of his foot a few times.

Wang Xifeng's pair of bare feet is the most sensitive, and she almost fell off the bed with itching, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the railing at the head of the bed, and scolded with a smile, "You little hoof, don't slander others, if you want to take advantage of that second son's shortcomings, I can't do it without you, I'm afraid I won't be able to curry favor with you now, how dare I bully you?"

Hearing this, Ping'er immediately remembered the love poem, his face flushed before he knew it, and he hurriedly turned his back and pretended to be ashamed and said, "Grandma should find someone else, so I don't have to worry about it. Afterwards, grandma said I got upset!"

"Yo~ You little hoof still remembers revenge!"

Wang Xifeng let out an exaggerated cry, and was about to pounce on him, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound of bumping from outside, but someone stumbled in.

Immediately afterwards, there was another vague scolding sound from outside, "Where is the person, where is the person? Where did Rente's mother go?!"

Just by hearing this tone, one knows that it is undoubtedly Jia Lian.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, and cursed in a low voice, "This unprogressive thing is obviously sent to another hospital to supervise the work, who would want to drink a full stomach of horse urine and come back crazy!"

Ping'er didn't dare to be negligent, she hurriedly got up and went out to meet Jia Lian. Seeing Jia Lian staggering in the flower hall and throwing drunken fists, she stepped forward to help her.

Who knew that before she could get started, Jia Lian pounced on her first, pressed her on the table, kissed and fumbled her, and laughed teasingly, "Why did it take me so long to come out? Could it be that she was stealing people inside? Come on, let her come out." Master, let me test it!"

Although Ping'er has the title of housemaid, she is regarded as Jia Lian's housemate, but because of Wang Xifeng's jealous temperament, she can't be a woman several times a year.

Just now she was teased by Wang Xifeng, but now she is held down by Jia Lian again, she has become sexually attracted to her, even though she is still pushing and shoving her hands, her heart is already sore.

"Yo~!"

At this moment, Wang Xifeng sneered sourly and said, "I said that I came out in such a hurry just now, the relationship is an appointment! Do you want me to go out for a while and give up this room to you?"

Having said that, she made another move, stepped forward and pulled Jia Lian fiercely, and then scolded Ping'er, "Who will show that seductive appearance? Why don't you go and have a while?" Here comes a bowl of hangover soup!"

Ping'er felt aggrieved, but she also knew that there was absolutely no way to refute at this time, so she went to the small kitchen sullenly.

Unexpectedly, when she came back with a bowl of hangover soup, she saw that the room was locked, and there were some shameless movements.

Ping'er held the hangover soup and listened to it for a while, but felt more and more that this day was boring...

--split line--

night,

Lai House.

Lai Da and his wife Lai Zhang sat side by side on the head of the bed, put their feet into a large copper basin, and let a pretty maid rub them carefully.

"Sure enough, the master expected it."

Just listen to Lai Zhang saying, "The one surnamed Sun was really caught by Lian's second grandma."

"Humph."

Lai Da just squinted his eyes and snorted without answering.

"How come?"

Lai Zhang wondered, "Could it be that I said something wrong?"

"It's wrong, it's true, I just feel sorry for our family's money!"

Lai Da said sullenly, seeing the servant girl holding up his foot and preparing to dry it with a towel, he tried his best to break away from the servant girl's soft foot, and took advantage of the opportunity to put his foot on her chest, rubbing it wantonly.

The servant girl's face was flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to lower her head to scrub her other foot.

Only then did Lai Da lift up his spirits, and said angrily, "That phoenix pepper is used to talking like a lion, and it's hard to catch this opportunity. I'm afraid it's going to hit us hard! Our business is all based on my Withholding my ability little by little, and now I have to spit it out again, I really can't bear it in my heart!"

"It turns out that you are upset about this matter."

Lai Zhang poked his finger on his forehead with a smile, and said, "You are really smart and confused for a while, if Second Mistress Lian can pinpoint his shortcomings, we can't?"

"You mean..."

"From tomorrow onwards, let's keep an eye on Lian's second grandma and see how she behaves." Lai Zhang said, "It's fine if there's nothing wrong with her, but if she shows some tricks, we'll have Mrs. Sun's handle. Why don't you follow suit and go outside to get some lawsuits, are you afraid that you won't be able to get back your money?"

That Lai Dayue's eyes became brighter when he heard that, he couldn't help but hugged his wife's old face and kissed him hard, and said with a laugh, "You are indeed my good wife - if we can really seize this wealth, it will not only be back It's that simple!"

As he said that, he kicked the pretty maid to the ground and scolded, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the secret recipe from southern Xinjiang!"

As soon as Mrs. Lai Zhang heard this, he knew that he wanted to be a veteran and have a "dragon and tiger spirit" with him.

Joyful in his heart, this brain also showed extraordinary power, so he hurriedly added, "I'm afraid that Zhou Rui and his wife will have to be watched closely. Recently, they have gotten very close to Second Mistress Lian."

Chapter 105 Public is worse than private, private is worse than secret

The rooster sings the whole world.

Seeing that it was already dim outside, and he was about to go to the yamen to answer Mao soon, Sun Shaozong carefully pulled his arm out from under Ruan Rong's neck.

I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and Ruan Rong naturally has a lot to say, but Sun Shaozong got drunk the first day, and had a consummation with Xiangling on the second day—although Ruan Rong personally discussed this matter, But she still couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

So it wasn't until last night that the two had a chance to talk to each other.

Before and after the chat, Ruan Rong fell asleep with her pillow on Sun Shaozong's arm. Naturally, Sun Shaozong didn't want to move around, so he could only sleep in his clothes with fear, for fear that he might accidentally crush the child.

Needless to say, the quality of sleep that night.

But he said that he crept up from the bed and was about to go outside to wash up, when Ruan Rong murmured behind him, "When did I fall asleep, why didn't the master wake me up?"

Unexpectedly, it still woke her up.

Only then did Sun Shaozong straighten his back, stretch his muscles and bones and said, "It's about an hour or so. I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't wake you up - but I slept with one eye open last night. I'm afraid I accidentally bumped into my son."

In fact, at the very beginning, Sun Shaozong insisted on calling her "daughter" in order to avoid the pressure in her heart, until later Ruan Rong half-truthfully asked "Am I not worthy of having children?"

It was only then that Sun Shaozong realized that the pressure on Ruan Rong's heart was not just the words 'preferring boys to girls', so he hurriedly changed his name and called his son.

However, while Sun Shaozong was complaining, he turned to look at Ruan Rong, only to see that she was leaning on her side, stroking her slightly protruding belly, and her lazy melon seed face showed a bit of burnout, attachment, and infancy. The love of motherhood.

For some reason, Sun Shaozong suddenly became excited.

"Who made you so strong, I'm afraid the child won't be able to bear it if you add a random arm and leg." Ruan Rong said, but said flatly, "Forget it, you'd better go to the West Wing to spend the night in the future, so as not to Can't sleep well at night."

"Don't tell me, I have to talk to my son more, otherwise what will happen if he doesn't get close to me after he is born?"

Sun Shaozong laughed and stretched out his hand as if to caress Ruan Rong's stomach, but when he landed, he moved upwards by about a foot...

slap~

Ruan Rong patted his Lushan claw vigilantly, and said angrily, "What kind of monster are you doing this early in the morning?"

Sun Shaozong refused to give up, and put his hand on her lap again, and said with a smile, "Actually, after the first three months, it doesn't matter so much, as long as you pay attention to your posture..."

"Xiangling, Xiangling!"

Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, Ruan Rong raised his voice and shouted.

Not long after, Xiangling hurried in from the outside when the door curtain was raised, and asked, "Sister Rong called me, do you have any orders?"

Seeing that the wet marks on her face have not faded, it is obvious that she has just washed up in the West Wing.

Ruan Rong pointed to Sun Shaozong and said, "Master is tired again, take him back to the West Chamber to relieve his fatigue."

"elder sister!"

Xiangling blushed immediately, stomped her feet, and ran out again.

This back and forth made Sun Shaozong's interest greatly diminished, and seeing that Ruan Rong was protecting his stomach, there was no room for compromise, so he had to go outside to wash up in resentment.

--split line--

Not surprisingly, after arriving at the Yamen, I heard that Zhou Da had asked for sick leave.

So Sun Shaozong went to his small courtyard, and asked someone to call Lin Delu, the governor of the criminal department.

This Lin Delu came quite quickly, but the body like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered showed a coy look that wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close, it was really shocking to see.

Sun Shaozong didn't bother to talk to him, and asked straight to the point, "Lin Delu, I heard that you have been complaining recently, complaining that the official favors one over another, is there such a thing?"

Lin Delu shuddered all over his body, almost knelt on the ground, and hurriedly explained, "I am wronged, my lord! I am humble... I just want to serve my lord and relieve my worries, so I dare not have any complaints!"

To be honest, when Sun Shaozong first took office, Lin Delu really didn't pay attention to this Shangguan. He thought that this kind of "transfer official" would either be excluded or marginalized. world.

Who would have imagined that Jia Yucun first came forward to support him, and then Sun Shaozong repeatedly solved strange cases and won the favor of the emperor, and now he has skipped Liu Zhizhong and directly become a "patrol envoy", which seems to be a sign of dominating the criminal justice!

What was even more exasperating was that Zhou Da, who was originally his direct subordinate, also started shaking!

Right now, Lin Delu is jealous and hateful, almost turning his stomach to regret.

"So, you have a heart."

As Sun Shaozong said, he pushed forward the note he had prepared a long time ago, and said, "Since that's the case, I have something here that I want you to deal with—here, it's the woman on this note, you go to the Ministry of Punishment." Check carefully and see if you can find her family."
