Detective in the Red Chamber

Finally, after investigation one by one, two suspects gradually surfaced, namely Liu Jinbao who lived at the bottom of the alley, and Xu Gensheng who lived next door to Zhang Dalong's house.

One of these two people claimed that he was squatting in the toilet when the crime happened; the other said that he was tidying up the fence of the vegetable field in the yard when the crime happened-but their family members could not provide circumstantial evidence for it.

However, it was difficult to tell who was the real culprit.

Therefore, according to Sun Shaozong's instructions, the yamen servants took them to Zhang Erhu's yard.

Seeing that everyone else has been let go, and only their own pair of troubled brothers are left, Liu Jinbao and Xu Gensheng panicked immediately, and they didn't care about the "God's Judgment Sun Tongjuan" right in front of them. "Bite" in one word.

"Liu Jinbao, you must have killed him, right?! I only saw you and Zhang Erhu quarreling two days ago!"

"Fuck your mother's shit! Who in this alley doesn't know that Zhang Erhu and I have been arguing since we were young, and if we really wanted to kill him, I'd have done it a long time ago!"

"Look, look, you admit that you want to kill Zhang Erhu, right?!"

"You mother..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Laoqi, the head of the yamen service team in Wanping County, yelled loudly, suppressed the verbal dispute between the two, and then leaned in front of Sun Shaozong, laughing and saying, "Master, how are we going to interrogate?"

"This……"

Just as Sun Shaozong was about to speak, his complexion suddenly changed. He suddenly pointed behind the two suspects, and said in a panic, "Zhang Erhu, you...how did you come back to life?!"

When Liu Jinbao and Xu Gensheng heard this, they hurriedly looked back, but they saw a person standing upright behind him, his eyes were round, his face was pale, and there was a bloody hole three fingers wide in his chest. who is it? !

"Give me back my life, give me my life back!"

But at this time there was another howl of ghosts and wolves, and Liu Jinbao was so frightened that he rolled and crawled, and went straight to Sun Shaozong's crotch, while Xu Gensheng fell limp on the ground, and cried out in his mouth, "Second brother, spare your life, second brother, spare your life!" Ah! I didn't mean to kill you, it's really... I really can't see Miss Li being tortured by you, so I..."

puff~

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Erhu threw himself on the ground, revealing the yamen servant who was supporting the body with a wooden stick behind his back.

Chapter 43

In fact, feudal society also has the advantages of feudal society. For example, if the trick of "pretending to be a ghost" was changed to Sun Shaozong when he was the captain of the criminal police, he might be scolded by the media as a virtue!

But right now, such a simple, crude and non-technical method has won unanimous praise from the yamen servants and the onlookers—especially Jiang Laoqi, who has "smart calculations" and "judgments like a god" one by one. The ass is swollen.

Then, of course, it was time for the truth to be revealed.

Just as Sun Shaozong inferred, when Xu Gensheng came to the door, Zhang Erhu was sharpening his knife under a tree, and the two of them quarreled in a few words, Zhang Erhu pushed Xu Gensheng staggered, and happened to fall down beside the whetstone.

Seeing that Zhang Erhu wanted to fight after catching up with him, Xu Gensheng was so angry that he picked up the kitchen knife and stabbed him desperately.

Zhang Erhu screamed and fell to the ground, and then he was silent.

Seeing this, Xu Gensheng panicked and ran all the way back to his yard. Later, he pretended to be a spectator and joined the pig cage soaking team—these are nothing new, but the reason for his conflict with Zhang Erhu , but it is really embarrassing.

But it turns out that Xu Gensheng has always been secretly in love with Li Shi, and every time he heard that she was being beaten by Zhang Erhu, his heart was cut like a knife, and he wished he could replace her with his body.

During the day, he vaguely heard Li Shi being beaten and scolded by Zhang Erhu again, Xu Gensheng finally couldn't bear it and came to fight against the injustice, and patted his chest to assure Zhang Erhu that those rumors about Li Shi were just rumors from three aunts and six wives, and had absolutely no basis in fact.

Unexpectedly, Xu Gensheng's impulsiveness at this moment made Zhang Erhu suspicious, suspecting that he was the one who had an affair with his mother-in-law, so he fought against him, which led to the subsequent tragedy.

After explaining the ins and outs, Xu Gensheng knew that he couldn't escape the guilt, so he spoke a lot more openly, and shouted at Zhang Dalong and his wife, "Now I'm not afraid to tell the truth, I've been staring at Xiujuan Li all day The name of her name, if she is even a little bit loose, it will not be the turn of others! But she is really a first-class chaste and strong woman, and she has absolutely nothing to do. Her good name!"

Zhang Dalong and his wife were speechless, but Li Shi listened to it, but she was also confused for a long time - she probably never expected that the word "innocent" that she cared most about would end up committing suicide, husband and enemy Mouth!

For a moment, the yard was full of sighs.

It's just that Sun Shaozong is still fine. It's not that he has a hard heart. The main reason is that he has seen too many tragedies in the world, and his psychological endurance is naturally far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

However, he still kept quiet for a moment knowingly, and after everyone cleared up their emotions, he stood up, calmly brushed off the dust on his body, and said in a sassy voice, "Boss Jiang, I'm taking a bath now. Let the case be handed over to you in Wanping County."

With that said, she pulled Ruan Rong up and walked out on her own.

In less than half a month since he took office, he has already solved a naked corpse case. Now even if he accumulates another piece of credit, it is just icing on the cake, and it is impossible to be promoted in a short period of time. Instead of sharing the credit with Liu Zhizhong, it is better to be a favor Give it to Wanping County——Anyway, so many ordinary people have seen it, and no one can miss him with this reputation.

Jiang Laoqi and the others were a little dumbfounded when they heard the words. They are used to taking credit for their bosses these days, but I have never seen such a boss who doesn't take the credit seriously, and even gives it away!

No matter how you think about it, it is such extraordinary strength of character that can live up to the name of "Shen Jue Sun Tong Jue"!

--split line--

However, Sun Shaozong got into the carriage surrounded by government servants and common people, and ran out for more than half a street. Looking back, he could still see the hundreds of people looking forward to see him off. Rong was in a daze, as if she was still immersed in the case just now.

So Sun Shaozong hurriedly took her into his arms, and then raised his little head with picturesque eyebrows, his eyes met each other and asked softly, "What's the matter, are you still thinking about Xu Gensheng?"

Ruan Rong nodded silently, hesitated for a while, and said, "I always feel that Xu Gensheng is a pity. If he and Li Shi get together, they will definitely be able to be a loving couple. It's a pity that God's will tricks people, and finally ended up like this." end like that."

Loving couple?

This is hard to say. As the saying goes, a wife is inferior to a concubine, a concubine is inferior to a concubine, and a concubine is inferior to a concubine, and a concubine is inferior to stealing, and stealing is inferior to not being able to steal. Gensheng was not allowed to marry Mrs. Li, so he began to think about Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang.

But it's better not to say such unwelcome words in front of a woman.

So Sun Shaozong also followed Ruan Rong's tone and sighed quietly, "What a pity? After all, he hurt people's lives and violated the king's law-this king's law is not humane."

Seeing Ruan Rong's complexion dimmed a bit, he suddenly laughed and said, "But, if you become someone else's wife, I will definitely come to kill her husband and take his wife, let alone some kind of emperor's order." If the time comes, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu wants to stop him, I will kill him and not bury him!"

Hearing Chi Guoguo's love words, Ruan Rong was both delighted and moved, and she had already thrown away the melancholy in her heart.

After returning to the mansion, he even had to use all his energy to practice the pouring candles and other moves in conjunction with Sun Shaozong several times, and it was only in the middle of the night that he fell asleep like a conjoined twin.

The next morning, his family members mentioned that Cheng Rixing, who had been here last night, came to him again in the morning, and Sun Shaozong remembered that there was still a 'master'.

So people hurriedly called Cheng Rixing to the side hall, and carefully inspected it for half a day, only Cheng Rixing was sweating profusely, and he barely passed the test.

When the master was admitted, seeing that the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival was in full swing, Sun Shaozong immediately took Ruan Rong out of the mansion again, and had a good time at the Lantern Festival for two days.

What about revolving horse lanterns and lotus lanterns? I bought half a car and came back—especially on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, I bought two palace lanterns. Once again a little proud.

It's a pity that the person in the portrait is too ugly, with the leopard's head and black eyes around it, it seems that Zhang Fei has been resurrected and surpassed Li Kui's rebirth, so Ruan Rong made fun of him again.

Sun Shaozong was "turned into anger from embarrassment", so he had to toss around for most of the night. He didn't rest for an hour until around the fourth o'clock, and then hurried to the official office - the seventeenth day of the first lunar month was the day when Jia Yucun took office. Important party members, of course, have to rush over in advance to support the personal field.

But it's just for personal support. With Jia Yucun's status, naturally no one would dare to plunder his beard.

So after Jia Yucun successfully took office, Sun Shaozong worked in the yamen for a few more days. During this period, he even made a business trip and solved a murder case pretending to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well.

Because the real culprit was captured within half a day, his name of "Shenduan" became more and more resounding, and his position in Shuntian Mansion became more and more stable. Except for the governor, Lin Delu, who was still honest, no one dared to It's easy to provoke him.

It was so calm until the 29th day of the month, when suddenly someone came to deliver an invitation card, but it was the yamen of the Shenwu General Feng Tang's family who was the host, inviting Sun Shaozong to Baihualou for a banquet at noon tomorrow.

Chapter 44

Feng Ziying, the small yamen of General Shenwu's family, is a well-known playboy in the capital. If he is talking about flying and domineering, he is afraid that he is far more than the group of young masters in Jia's mansion.

If possible, Sun Shaozong really didn't want this guy to get too close.

Helpless in life, one cannot escape the words 'relationship and favor'. In order not to make things difficult for the cheap brother in front of General Shenwu, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to go to the appointment reluctantly on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

When we arrived in front of the Baihua Building, we saw dozens of blue gauzes hanging from the railing on the second floor, fluttering with the northwest wind, covering most of the street with a provocative scent of makeup.

Seeing this posture, Sun Shaozong knew that it was not a serious restaurant, and he felt a little bit more displeased - although he is also a lecher, he never likes to provoke women, even if he goes out with his colleagues to play on occasion, it is just a taste .

"Ouch~!"

At this time, I saw a man in a green coat and a small cap greet him, nodded and bowed, and asked cautiously, "May I ask if your surname is Sun? Are you going to the wine bureau of Feng Ya Nei?"

Sun Shaozong nodded slightly, and the tortoise hurriedly led him to a small path on the left, "Please come this way, Feng Ya Nei has reserved Miss Yun'er's other courtyard today, so I have to trouble you to take two extra steps. "

tsk~

The emperor's concubine visits her relatives and wants to live in the other courtyard of Lao Shizi. I didn't expect that the kiln sister in this brothel has the same hobby.

Following the tortoise along the path, and walking about a hundred steps, he saw a mansion in front of him. The decoration in front of the door was the same as that of ordinary wealthy families, only the three characters 'Jinxiangyuan' were inscribed on the plaque in the middle.

Sun Shaozong is still waiting for a closer look, someone from the Jinxiang Courtyard has already walked out to welcome him, and he is burly and strong, with a simple and savage look, but it is Xue Pan, the overlord!

Last time, Sun Shaozong gave this guy a big embarrassment. Seeing that this guy came out to welcome him, he had to raise his vigilance.

Who knows that Xue Pan is very familiar with him, regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones, he stepped forward and took the reins of Sun Shaozong's crotch mount, and said affectionately, "Second brother Sun really made me wait! Let's go, little brother I'll take you to tie the horse up first, and then we'll go find Brother Feng for fun!"

This belonged to 'Second Brother Sun' and 'Little Brother', which really confused Sun Shaozong, allowing him to lead the rein to the horse-hitting post, and was about to get off the horse before asking the exact reason.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan bowed his legs and half-kneeled in front of the horse, seeing that he was going to act as a 'stepping stone'.

Now, Sun Shaozong couldn't hold back his energy anymore. He frowned for a while, but couldn't see what kind of medicine was sold in Xue Pan's gourd, so he simply asked straight to the point, "Mr. Xue, do you have any advice, why don't you tell me , why are you so hypocritical?"

"Second brother was joking, how dare I teach you?"

Xue Pan shook his head and gave an exaggerated thumbs up, "In these forty-nine cities, who doesn't know that second brother, you can kill thieves when you get on a horse, and solve crimes when you get off a horse. You are a first-class hero! I wanted to know that Qian Miss Xiang is the second elder brother's slave, so she absolutely dare not spout shit and talk nonsense!"

After all, seeing that Sun Shaozong still looked suspicious, he hastily put his words a little more bluntly, "In my life, I despise a soft-bodied coward the most, and I admire a capable hero the most—if he is coddled by that coward He bullied him, and then killed his whole family, which made me unhappy! But if it was in the hands of a hero, I would be very convinced!"

Only then did Sun Shaozong realize that he had met a 'stupid person'. This kind of person's mind cannot be deduced with common sense at all, so he didn't bother to think about it, turned over and dismounted from the other side, and said casually, "Since it was a misunderstanding , then how about we don't know each other?"

Although Sun Shaozong was very upset about that incident at the beginning, this guy first suffered a loss in his own hands, and now he put on a posture of pleading guilty, so it is not easy for him to continue to pursue anything.

"According to the second brother!"

Xue Pan jumped up from the ground, with a smile like a chrysanthemum, and said triumphantly, "I asked before I came here, that Miss Yun'er from Jinxiangyuan just hung up the sign and hasn't been combed yet. Today, I helped my second elder brother pull out her lead, and it can be considered as an apology for bumping into my sister-in-law that day."

This guy is really generous and tight, if he wants to win Chu Ye, the oiran of the capital, he will not be able to do so for a thousand taels.

It's a pity that Sun Shaozong really didn't like this, so he evaded and declined, "I accept Brother Xue's kindness, but I really don't have any interest in prostitutes. I'd better leave this beauty to you, brother."

"Go!"

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan immediately slapped his thigh when he heard the words, leaned closer and said with a lewd smile, "I will tell you the truth, second brother, in fact, I also love that little lady from a good family. Last time I was in Xizhimen, I fell in love with a beautiful little lady." Because her husband-in-law is nearby, she just pushed, shoved, bit and kicked, but she didn't dare to yell, and in the end she let me get it, the feeling is really refreshing!"

Nima!

I only said that I don't like prostitutes, so how come you have become a favorite of good family wives?

Sun Shaozong couldn't help cursing in his heart, and after hearing Xue Pan's description, he was definitely raped, right? !

For a moment, he had the heart to turn his back on him directly, and sent the girl to Shuntian Mansion to be punished!

"Xue has a big head!"

At this moment, a laughing scold came from Jinxiangyuan, "You were asked to welcome the distinguished guest, why did you stop the guest from the door?!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a heroic young master stepping over the threshold, walked a few steps, and gave a deep salute, "This should be the second elder brother of the Sun family, right? I've heard his name like thunder before, so I take the liberty to invite you today. I also hope that the second brother Sun will be more generous!"

Originally, Sun Shaozong didn't have a good impression of Feng Ziying, but now that he saw him, he was really a man of pride and coquettishness, no wonder everyone said he was the leader of the dudes.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly returned the salute, and after this delay, most of his desire to arrest Xue Pan and bring him to court has faded.

As a criminal judge, he will copy a file for him for all cases in Shuntian Mansion, but he has never seen anyone sue Xue Pan since he took office.

Obviously, either the woman was coaxed by Xue Pan later, or because of the word chastity, she was ashamed to tell the matter, let alone dared to alert the government—since the woman was unwilling to stand out, why did he bother to take the risk? Is the world so bad?

In the final analysis, Sun Shaozong is not the kind of master who can do everything in order to bring justice to strangers.

So the three of them chatted and smiled politely, and then they were about to enter the Jinxiang Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, only the sound of rumbling horseshoes on the path, forty or fifty riders came rushing like wind and clouds. The person in question is a fat man with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Seeing the three people standing side by side in front of him, the fat man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Come on, tie up this Feng for me! If I, Qiu Yunfei, don't let him kneel on the ground and call Grandpa today, I'll fuck him like a mother!" surname!"

Chapter 45

As soon as the fat white man opened his mouth, Sun Shaozong yelled inwardly.

Originally, he was reluctant to come to this banquet, but this is good, he didn't even take a look at the banquet, and he met the troublemaker first.

Although Sun Shaozong didn't know that this 'Qiu Yunfei' was a dude from that family, but seeing that he dared to bring these dozens of soldiers to seek revenge, he knew that his family status was definitely not under the Shenwu General's mansion—— Now caught in the middle, it is safe for the gods to fight and the mortals suffer!

Sun Shaozong was depressed here, but Feng Ziying over there faced dozens of soldiers, but he did not dodge or dodge. The man has seen the work——Qiu Yunfei, if you have any tricks, you should use it as soon as possible, if the man frowns, he is a child!"

That Qiu Yunfei also sneered again and again, "Okay! Mad Dog Ying, I want to see how much harder your bones are than your tongue!"

The two immediately got off the horse one by one, each playing their tongues and pretending to be bachelors.

The soldiers were not idle either, and a dozen or so men got off their horses, took the rope whistle sticks, and surrounded them from both wings.

Seeing her approaching, Feng Ziying didn't care about the power of her words, and hurriedly put on a posture, ready to make the final struggle.

"Brother Feng, count me in!"

At this time, I saw Xue Pan excitedly jumping over, standing side by side with him, shouting, "How can I miss Xue Pan in such a big scene?!"

Feng Ziying knew that this time she would not be able to please him, so how could she get him involved for nothing?

Hastily advised him not to get involved.

But how could Xue Pan be willing to listen?
