Detective in the Red Chamber
Page 89
Jia She gave a cold snort, but he didn't intend to continue to press the question.
The 2000 taels of silver are naturally nothing compared to the face of Mr. Jia, but who made him tight money recently?
1000 taels of silver are given to the pretty widow to buy a house, and the remaining 1000 taels of silver can be redeemed for a few more beloved playthings!
Should I redeem the fan from the Northern Song Dynasty first, or the fan from the Tang Dynasty...
But just when Mr. Jia fell into sweet troubles, Sun Shaozu also came to the backyard angrily.
To him, 2000 taels of silver are actually nothing, but when he thinks about being bullied by Jia She all the time for more than ten years, he feels very uncomfortable!
So he entered the main courtyard hall, and he threw the teapot to the ground first, scaring the two concubines on duty to scream in unison, and hurriedly covered their mouths.
But their screams gave Sun Shaozu an idea.
So without thinking about it, he rushed out and pointed out, "Go to the second master's courtyard and find your aunt to listen and listen. Is there anything wrong with the second girl in Rongguo Mansion, whether she is deaf, dumb, blind, or lame?" !"
When he thought about it, if it wasn't for what was wrong with Jia Yingchun, Jia Amnesty would never have sold her daughter in such a shameless manner!
Although inquiring about these things can't change anything, but listening to Jia She's worries is better than doing nothing here!
As for Jia Amnesty...
Since he said he wanted to put together a good pool, naturally he couldn't take the money so quickly!
Not to mention how bored Sun Shaozu was in the room.
However, the two aunts did not dare to go back to the house to wear more coats after receiving the order, so they hugged their shoulders and trembled, and went straight to Sun Shaozong's yard all the way.
It's not too late now, it was the time when Sun Shaozong and Ruan Rong were chatting on a regular basis, when they saw two concubines in thin shirts coming in, they felt a little baffled.
After asking them why they came, Ruan Rong became even more puzzled - why did she ask Jia Yingchun when she was so confused?
But since the uncle asked the question, she naturally had to answer it properly.
"Then Yingchun girl..."
Ruan Rong recalled it for a while, and said, "Naturally, his appearance is very outstanding, but he is a bit dull, and he doesn't like to talk very much at ordinary times. Even if he is teased by his sisters, he just smiles and never argues with others—I heard that The servants secretly call her Ermu."
Dumb, reticent, do not like to argue? !
Sun Shaozong's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, isn't this the standard set by Big Brother Cheap?
Could it be that……
Big brother cheap actually sent his idea to the Rongguo mansion? !
This is really audacious!
Sun Shaozong was terrified, but how did he know that this was really Jia Amnesty's door-to-door sales, and he even wanted to buy and sell by force!
But Ruan Rong pondered for a while before continuing, "This second girl doesn't seem to be favored at home, and she is a little more timid than the other concubine sisters on weekdays."
Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "I really can't see anything else, after all, this second girl is like a gourd, and she hasn't spoken a few words to me at all-you might as well ask Xiangling again, she and Na Jia Yingchun is kind of friendly."
The two concubines thanked her a thousand times, and went to the West Chamber again, and heard a lot from Xiangling about Jia Yingchun's dullness, being bullied by his superiors and others, and being rejected by his father and aunt.
The two of them carefully kept it in their hearts, and borrowed two old clothes from Xiangling, then hurriedly returned to the main courtyard, and told Sun Shaozu the matter in detail.
Sun Shaozu didn't care much at first, but the more he listened to it, the more energetic he became. Finally, he couldn't help opening the cash box, but he pulled out a thick dozen without hesitation, which was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver...
Chapter 180 Chongwenmen Murder and Robbery Incident [Part [-]]
Early the next morning, Sun Shaozong originally planned to ask his eldest brother for clarification, but when he went to the main courtyard to inquire, he found out that Sun Shaozu had gone to the patrol camp before dawn.
He knew in his heart that Big Brother Cheap didn't want to give him a chance to object, so Sun Shaozong could only helplessly keep this matter in his heart, and resentfully went to the Yamen to be on duty.
Speechless all the way.
When he arrived outside the government office, Sun Shaozong was waiting to greet the gatekeepers and lead his new horse to the stables, when he saw a group of people rushing out of it in a hurry, and the leader was Jia Yucun!
Seeing Sun Shaozong outside the door, Jia Yucun was immediately overjoyed, and without a word, he stepped forward and grabbed Sun Shaozong and said, "Your brother came just in time, hurry up and come with me on business!"
I just had a conflict with him yesterday, and it was so confusing, how could Sun Shaozong agree to have any business with him?
At the moment, it was as if roots had taken root under his feet, no matter how Jia Yucun pulled him, he would remain motionless.
How smart is Jia Yucun?
After a few tugs, he could see the scruples in his heart, and hurriedly stepped up to Sun Shaozong's ear, and said in a low voice, "It's really a serious business, a murder case just happened at Chongwenmen!"
Chongwenmen?
Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "There aren't any big figures living nearby, right? There are quite a few merchants."
Ordinary people are dead or alive, how can Master Jia be so flustered?
On the other hand, what can make Jia Yucun panic like this must involve some important person!
Jia Yucun hurriedly added, "The one who died was not an important person, it was just a little widow—but the only suspect right now is Jia She, the elder of the Rongguo Mansion!"
Jia She? !
Now Shaozong Sun was really taken aback. Master Jia went to his house as a guest last night, how could he become a murderer in a blink of an eye? !
"Who reported the case?"
Immediately, he hurriedly asked, "Are there any witnesses? Has the news spread?! Who is dealing with it right now?!"
He asked this because he actually wanted to know Jia Yucun's purpose for pulling his past.
If no one knew about it, Jia Yucun would most likely have to cover it up and make a scapegoat.
If you go by yourself, if you join them, you will feel uncomfortable; if you don't want to join them, you should expose this matter. With the current power of Rongguo Mansion, there will be a "three cups of fine wine" in the end.
At that time, it will only offend the Rongguo Mansion in vain.
I heard Jia Yucun say, "Zhou Da has already taken someone there, but no one saw that the elder killed him, and he himself didn't admit it—it's just that the neighbors, many people saw that he was covered in blood. It's blood, lying on the same bed with that little widow!"
Lying on a bed covered in blood?
"How long has the little widow been dead?"
"I heard that he died last night. As for how long it took, I don't know yet—please don't delay, brother, and go quickly with me to find out the truth!"
Sun Shaozong didn't find it surprising that Jia Amnesty could kill people. It's not unusual for a notorious old dude like him to accidentally kill a lot of people.
But if Jia Amnesty had the guts to sleep on the same bed with the corpse until the next morning, Sun Shaozong did not believe it.
of course……
If you are drunk, it is not impossible.
But there are still doubts.
This was already within Sun Shaozong's purview, and the news had already spread, and since Jia Yucun had issued the order as a superior, it was naturally difficult for him to continue to refuse.
So he got on his horse and hurried to the scene of the crime with Jia Yucun and others.
The location of the incident was not far from Chongwenmen, in an alley that was said to be remote but not remote, lively or not.
When Sun Shaozong and Jia Yucun brought people to arrive, the alley entrance was already crowded with people on the third and third floors.
Just put your ears up and listen, and you can hear key words such as 'Rongguo Mansion', 'Grand Master', 'Murder' - it seems that it is really impossible to block the news.
Taking the opportunity to get off his horse, Sun Shaozong cast a sidelong glance at Jia Yucun, and seeing that his face was already gloomy, he shouted to make him feel a little more awkward.
"Master Jia of Shuntian Mansion is here!"
Jia Yucun gave Sun Shaozong a helpless look, but didn't say anything, but let the officials and government servants watch the people separately, and entered the alley together with Sun Shaozong.
The deceased's home was located in the third one from the entrance of the alley, and it looked quite wealthy.
"I've seen Mr. Fucheng and Mr. Tongju!"
As soon as they entered the door, Zhou Da and Zhao Wuwei greeted them, cupped their hands and said, "General Jia was frightened, and he is currently resting in the east chamber. His body is on the bed in the bedroom. Except for General Jia, no one else has touched it. .”
These two people have been on business with Sun Shaozong for more than half a year, and they have become more and more capable through experience, but unfortunately, the flattery and flattery with slanted shoulders has not changed at all.
When Jia Yucun heard the words, he got into the East Chamber without saying a word - after all, if Jia Amnesty hadn't been here, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come forward at all.
Sun Shaozong naturally followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Jia covered in blood, lying on his back on a leisure chair, staring at the roof with blank eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Uncle? Uncle!"
Jia Yucun stepped forward and called out twice cautiously.
That Jia She glanced at him in confusion, immediately jumped up from the Xiaoyao chair, grabbed Jia Yucun and shouted, "Yucun, you are here! Hurry up and take all those troublesome people back and torture them, who are they?" How dare you spread rumors again!"
This guy must not have dared to go out of the alley, otherwise he would have known that there were hundreds of spectators at the entrance of the alley, and if they were all arrested, even Emperor Guangde would be alarmed.
"Uncle, don't worry!"
Jia Yucun quickly relieved, "As long as the truth is found out, this rumor will be self-defeating!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Sun Shaozong, "With Brother Shao Zong here, I will definitely be able to restore my uncle's innocence!"
When Jia Amnesty saw Sun Shaozong, his eyes lit up again and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, check, check, you must check clearly!"
After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to say, "Yucun, you escort me back to the mansion first, I don't want to stay here any longer!"
This idiot really can't figure out the situation.
In the current situation, Jia Yucun's refusal to avoid suspicion is considered a case of malpractice for personal gain. Now, if the only suspect is sent back to Rongguo Mansion under the watchful eyes of the public...
Unless he doesn't want to do it anymore!
"Uncle Shi, be safe and don't be impatient."
Jia Yucun smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that Uncle Shi will stay and help with this case..."
But Jia Amnesty is someone who listens to persuasion?
Jumping three feet high, he shouted, "I didn't kill people! Why did I stay?! Jia Yucun, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?!"
"No, no, how dare my nephew!"
Jia Yucun, the prime minister, relied on Rongguo Mansion much more than the Sun family. Facing Jia Amnesty's rude behavior, he could only persuade him servilely, and tried to get Sun Shaozong to join him.
"Uncle Shi!"
But how could Sun Shaozong go through this muddy water with him?
He cupped his hands first and said, "I'm going to investigate the scene now, so that Uncle Shi can be innocent as soon as possible!"
To be honest, he was actually quite curious about what kind of deal the big brother Cheap and this Jia Amnesty had reached yesterday—it's a pity that it's really not the time to ask about this right now.
Coming out of the east chamber, Sun Shaozong took Zhou Da and Zhao Wuwei to the inner room.
After entering the door, I saw a half-naked female corpse lying sideways on the bed, with eyes that were dying, facing the direction of the door.
"what?!"
Seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Sun Shaozong exclaimed unconsciously.
But it turned out that this woman, although her expression was slightly grim because of the pain and fear before her death, her facial features and temperament were exactly the replica of Wang Xifeng!
Chapter 181 The Chongwenmen Murder and Robbery Incident [Part [-]]
Looking at the female corpse that resembles Wang Xifeng, he was stunned for a long time, and then Sun Shaozong subconsciously asked, "What's the name of this woman? What is her usual temperament? Have you ever asked about this?"
"Of course I checked."
Zhao Wuwei hurriedly approached and said, "This woman is called Lu Huiniang. I heard that she has a very hot temper. When her husband was still alive, she was often called around by her."
Zhou Da added next to it, "Her husband accidentally contracted the epidemic and passed away when he was preparing for the exam in summer."
tsk~
This can even be matched with personality. Could it be that Jia She has other dirty thoughts about his daughter-in-law? !
Sun Shaozong's deduction is almost inseparable.
At the beginning, Jia Zhen from the East Mansion was ambiguous with her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, and others would definitely cast aside it when they mentioned it, but Jia She was secretly provoked to a dirty mind, and she was quite interested in this "gathering event". There is a sense of envy.
However, although his son Jia Lian is also a prodigal son, he is not as big-hearted as Jia Zhen's son Jia Rong.
In addition, Wang Xifeng's temperament is not as easy to manipulate as Qin Keqing's, and with the support of her father, Wang Ziteng, Jia She has no courage to force her, so she can only temporarily suppress this thought in her heart.
But as the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than stealing, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal!
This evil fire has been suffocated for two years, and it has become Mr. Jia's heart disease. He has to churn out every now and then, and he has no energy in his body.
