Detective in the Red Chamber

However, others privately believed that the conflict between his and his wife was caused by the unequal distribution of spoils.

In short, all the upper and lower parts of the Rongguo Mansion actually staged a havoc in the Heavenly Palace at the same time!

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu was also stunned, and then felt a little disheartened.

At the beginning, he said that the Rongguo Mansion was a family of robbers, but it was just an angry statement, but now it seems that this statement is not true at all!

In particular, even a few favored servant girls around him were more or less involved, which made it even more difficult for Jia Baoyu to accept.

But at this time, pressure came from all directions, accusing him of making trouble out of nothing and stirring up all these disturbances for no reason.

Jia Baoyu was so angry that he went on a hunger strike and committed suicide. He didn't eat or drink for two days and one night!

Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't help interjecting, "Then why did you suddenly start eating again?"

"This……"

Jia Baoyu was at a loss for words for a while, and then forced a smile after a while, "After all, I still have my grandmother and parents in the hall. If they are white-haired people sending black-haired people, wouldn't it be extremely unfilial?"

After a pause, seeing Sun Shaozong staring at him with burning eyes, he twisted his neck uneasily, and added, "Besides, I... I'm so hungry that I can't take it anymore."

"Haha, you kid..."

Xue Pan laughed, and was about to say something to comfort Baoyu, but Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand and picked him up from the chair when his neck tightened.

Just listen to Sun Shaozong's unquestionable order: "Go outside and watch, don't let anyone come close to eavesdrop!"

Chapter 155 Rongguo Mansion Corruption Incident [Part [-]]

Watching Xue Pan disappear behind the door, Sun Shaozong looked back at Jia Baoyu carefully, and seeing that he was obviously a little more anxious than before, he suddenly asked, "Is the last person who came to persuade you that Lai?" big?"

Jia Baoyu trembled all over, and looked at Sun Shaozong for a while in astonishment, but finally moved his gaze away, and said awkwardly, "What does Second Brother mean by saying this, I..."

"Don't lie."

Sun Shaozong added indifferently, "This kind of thing, I can ask the maid in your yard to ask a few questions, and I will know everything about it."

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips in embarrassment, and then laughed again after a while, "It's indeed Housekeeper Lai, but he didn't actually persuade me much, mainly because I figured it out myself, so..."

"Brother Bao."

Sun Shaozong interrupted him again, "There is a saying called 'to explain is to cover up, and to cover up is to be true', although it is a bit biased in principle-but it is appropriate to describe your current performance very."

Jia Baoyu froze again.

In the end, he simply fell down on the table in anger, twisted his body and yelled in a muffled voice, "Since the second brother doesn't believe what I said, then I have nothing to say - besides, I am not on a hunger strike now anyway, so there is no need for the second brother to ask the bottom line." right?"

tsk~

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips, and simply got up and paced back and forth in the room, saying as he walked, "Since you don't want to say, then I might as well make a guess myself."

"You are deterred by the situation and complained from all directions. In fact, you are already timid in your heart, and you don't dare to pursue it any further—but with your temperament, it is likely that you will not bring this matter to light!"

"In this way, there will inevitably be some misunderstandings."

"Based on the pampering and doting of your ancestors and second wife on weekdays, after these two days and one night of torment, I am afraid that you will be burned in a hurry-whether it is intentional or not, there should be a high probability that you will say A few words like 'Isn't it just to check the accounts, if he wants to check it for him'."

"So, some people can't sit still!"

"This person is naturally greedy for money, and a lot of money, at least not less than Lian Ersister and Wu Xindeng."

"In order to prevent this audit from continuing, and eventually affect himself, there are nothing but two choices before him."

"First, you will never be able to continue to check the accounts; second, you will never dare to check the accounts again!"

"The first method, in addition to silencing you, must also make it impossible for people to see that you died at the hands of others - since you refuse to eat anything, and there are a lot of people guarding you at any time, trying to It is really difficult to carry out the extermination plan."

"The second method, you only need to have a handle, a handle that is enough to make you dare not to investigate any further!"

"And Na Lai Da, as the chief manager of the mansion, has controlled the Rongguo Mansion for more than [-] years. It is actually reasonable to hold such a handle in his hand."

Having said that, Sun Shaozong turned around and asked, "But I don't know if I have made any guesses?"

Jia Baoyu stared blankly at him for a while, and Fang smiled wryly, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Second Brother's eyes!"

After a pause, he stood up and gave a deep salute, and said earnestly, "Second Brother, I beg you, just leave it alone, okay?"

"Success is success."

Sun Shaozong sighed and said, "But are you sure that Wu Xindeng really committed suicide?"

Jia Baoyu hesitated for a while, straightened up again, and said in surprise, "Second Brother means..."

"Although I have no evidence now."

Sun Shaozong spread his hands, "But since Lai Da has already shown his real body, as the chief executive, it shouldn't be difficult to push Wu Xindeng to the front as a shield, right?"

"And in that list, the corrupt behaviors of the favored slaves in your house are listed one by one, but a few housekeepers are not mentioned alone—could it be that he and Lai Da are the only housekeepers in the two houses of this thing? , others didn't get involved?"

"Second brother means..."

Jia Baoyu said tremblingly, "It was Lai Da who killed Wu Xindeng as a scapegoat, and threw out that list again, trying to scare me?!"

"A fair guess, isn't it?"

Sun Shaozong said indifferently, "It's just that he didn't expect that you would be so frightened that you would have another scene of hunger strike and suicide."

Jia Baoyu fell silent again, with his hands on the table, his baby face flickering under the light.

"I can guess that the handle must have a lot to do with it."

Sun Shaozong then said again, "But are you sure that after you back down this time, you won't arouse his arrogance, so that he can make progress?"

"Anything to measure?"

Jia Baoyu raised his head in a daze, with a perplexed expression on his face, obviously not understanding what else could be more serious than the current situation.

"Ha ha."

Sun Shaozong grinned deeply, "I've heard an official anecdote before—about the second year of Guangde, a county magistrate in Sichuan was pinched by a housekeeper."

"The butler was afraid of beating a wolf with a stick at the beginning, but after a few trials, he found that the high-ranking county magistrate is actually a coward in his bones!"

"So the butler went step by step, going too far, and finally took over the magpie's nest. He slept with the county magistrate's concubine first, and then his wife. When the crime happened, even the county magistrate's 12-year-old daughter Already pregnant with the bone of the housekeeper..."

wow~

"Stop it! I beg you, stop it!"

Jia Baoyu roared, and violently overturned the table!

Sun Shaozong dodged to avoid it, but he kept his mouth shut.

Jia Baoyu stood there in a terrified atmosphere, his chest heaved rapidly, and a few drops of cold sweat slowly rolled down his forehead, obviously putting himself in the position of the county magistrate.

At this moment, the door was divided to the left and right, and Xue Pan came in with his head. Seeing the mess of the place, he couldn't help but wondered, "What's the matter? This is it? Treasure..."

"go out!"

Jia Baoyu yelled sharply, so frightened that Xue Pan quickly shrank his head back, but then he thought, as an elder brother, why should he be afraid of Baoyu?

So he decided to go in again to 'provoke', but thinking of Baoyu's crazy appearance just now, he still didn't dare.

But when Jia Baoyu sent Xue Pan away, part of the panic in his heart finally vented, he hurried forward two steps, and bowed to Sun Shaozong to the end, "Please second brother teach me, what should I do now?!"

Then, he said in a very frustrated voice, "Telling grandma is definitely not going to work. There are Lai Da's eyes and ears all over the house, even here..."

"As long as I have any suspicious behavior, he will immediately reveal the matter, and it will be destroyed!"

"Jade and stone burn together?"

When Sun Shaozong heard these four words, his heart was moved. It seems that this handle is still a double-edged sword. Not only will the masters of Rongguo Mansion suffer bad luck, but Lai Da himself will not be pleased.

So he asked, "Apart from Lai Da, does anyone else know about this?"

"This……"

Jia Baoyu pondered for a moment, shook his head firmly and said, "Probably not. He told me that 'the law is not passed on to the six ears'. This matter is when you are dreaming, and you can't talk nonsense!"

it is as expected!

"Since this is the case, then things will be much simpler, as long as..."

As Sun Shaozong said, he reached out and stroked his neck.

"Kill...kill...kill him?!"

Jia Baoyu sat back on the Xiudun in shock, his hands shaking as if he was sifting chaff, and he murmured, "I...I..."

Hey~

After all, it's a worthless product!

Sun Shaozong sighed, and said helplessly, "Okay, don't get entangled here—then Lai Da is already on guard against you, how can you do anything to him with a half-grown child like you who has no strength to restrain a chicken?" ?”

Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but lost his mind, and asked embarrassingly, "Then what should I do...how..."

But he was so panicked that he didn't even dare to say the word 'kill' easily.

If it wasn't for the big grudge against Lai, if it wasn't for the fact that he provoked this matter, seeing Baoyu's useless appearance, Sun Shaozong really didn't want to care about it anymore!

He asked angrily, "There are powerful slaves in your house who bully the lord, so why don't you have loyal servants to protect the lord? There are hundreds of slaves in Jia's house. Is there any one who dares to fight for you without asking why?" Did your family risk their lives?"

"This……"

Jia Baoyu was at a loss for a while, then suddenly thought of someone, nodded hurriedly and said, "There is someone who is extremely loyal, but..."

"At this time, you're still 'just' a fart?!"

Sun Shaozong said unhappily, "Think of a way to let that person know. If you are not sure, don't say it too clearly!"

Chapter 156 Getting Old 【Subscription】

Looking at the figures of Sun Shaozong and Xue Pan, they disappeared into the darkness outside the door.

Jia Baoyu sighed faintly, only to feel that his muddled experience in the past ten years was far inferior to the thrilling absurdity and twists and turns of the past few days.

After sighing, he turned his head to look at Xiren and Qingwen, and saw that the two normally gorgeous women were now as haggard as those frost-beaten eggplants.

"Father~"

Seeing him looking over, Xiren rushed to grab the ground with his head, choked up and called out, but really didn't know what to say, so he just sobbed.

But Qingwen had a bad temper, she stuck her neck and yelled, "Second Master, I don't have much contact with my brother-in-law. Although he is using your name, he is definitely not ordered by me. Why..."

Xiren hurriedly tugged at her, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking, he is demented because of being cautious and aggressive."

Qingwen then reluctantly shut her mouth.

Jia Baoyu looked at the two of them again, all kinds of things from the past came to his mind, firstly he was full of reluctance for them, secondly he was a little bit disinterested, he felt that it would be better to leave things as soon as possible, so as not to be bored with each other in the future.

In the end, he waved his sleeves dejectedly, and ordered, "Go back to your respective rooms and rest, I'm... now I'm so confused, I really don't know how to deal with you."

Qingwen was still hesitating, but Xiren felt loose from these words, so she hurriedly picked up Xiren and walked towards the residence.

After walking a few steps, Xiren couldn't help turning his head back and whispering, "If you're unhappy, talk to Miss Lin."

Sister Lin...

That's right, among the hundreds of people in the whole family, she is probably the only one who is innocently involved in it like herself.

A little warmth surged in Jia Baoyu's heart, and he immediately went to talk to Daiyu, but when he thought of what he was going to do tomorrow, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, went back to the house in a daze, and locked the door behind his back.

Although he was anxious, he hadn't slept for two days and one night after all, so he lay on the bed for a while, and fell asleep in a daze.

knock knock knock

In a daze, he vaguely heard someone knocking on the door, but Jia Baoyu couldn't bring himself to get up, so he yelled vaguely, "Sleep, don't make noise!"

Sure enough, the knocking on the door stopped.

Silent all night.

When the rooster crowed three times and the morning glow broke, Baoyu got up in disorderly clothes, and staggered to the door. Just as he was about to open the latch, he suddenly found a Fang Sheng made of rice paper stuffed in the crack of the door.

Baoyu opened it suspiciously and looked at it, only to find that inside was a song "The Road Is Difficult" by Li Bai. Judging from the beautiful cursive handwriting, it was clearly written by Lin Daiyu.

So she came again last night!

Repeatedly chewing on the last sentence that there will be a time when the wind and the waves break, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea.

Jia Baoyu's eyes were red, but he almost shed tears. He quickly wiped away Fang Sheng with his sleeve, and put Fang Sheng close to his body, then he lifted the latch and called out loudly, "Come on, tell the front to prepare the carriage. Go outside and relax!"

With just this voice, it was like a pot was boiling outside, and all the maids and women came together to serve.
