Detective in the Red Chamber

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is not an idiot without a city. After hearing this, his smile turned cold, and he asked with some sarcasm, "So if I recommend Zhou Da, my lord will definitely not agree to it right now, right?"

"Ah~"

Jia Yucun said with a look of "my heart is carefree, I can show the sun and the moon", and sighed, "I don't want to, but I can't! I hope my brother can understand my painstaking efforts. Don't do it for the trivial matters of a small official. This is a great situation.”

What a Jia Fu Cheng who took the overall situation into consideration, what a high-sounding rhetoric!

If it were someone else at this time, he would have to go back depressed, scolding the old fox thousands of times in his heart.

But since Sun Shaozong had already suffered from this guy, why didn't he make some preparations in advance?

Seeing that his smile did not change at all, he pushed the recommendation letter in front of Jia Yucun, "I can naturally understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. Fucheng—so this recommendation letter is actually from Liu Zhizhong, and has nothing to do with me." !"

"Since it has nothing to do with me, my lord... no, the old brother shouldn't have any worries, right?"

Finally, Jia Yucun couldn't help but change his face slightly, and asked with a frown, "Why did Liu Zhizhong participate in this matter?"

"Haha, old brother's question is strange."

Sun Shaozong laughed, tapped on the recommendation letter, and said, "Liu Zhizhong is about to be reassigned. Before leaving, it is human nature to think of old friends and recommend a few old subordinates, isn't it?"

"Haha, what a human being!"

Jia Yucun also laughed, but it was a typical superficial smile. He stared at the recommended book for a while, and then murmured, "It seems that Mr. Liu owes a lot of old love."

He emphasized the word 'old love', and obviously he has seen through it. Sun Shaozong's promise of 'not revealing old accounts after succession' was exchanged for Liu Chongshan's temporary defection.

After being silent for a while, Jia Yucun still said word by word, "What if the official still refuses?"

Although the jailer is only a ninth rank, if he wants to fill his own pockets, it will be a bit troublesome without the cooperation of the prison boss!

Therefore, Jia Yucun was really reluctant to give up the position to Sun Shaozong.

"I'm afraid it's up to you, old brother."

Sun Shaozong snapped his fingers with a half-smile and said, "Recently, you 'pretended' to break up with me, and then abandoned Zhao Liben during the Longevity Festival, and now you want to refute Liu Zhizhong's face..."

"Could it be that my brother has never heard of the truth that 'things are not more than three'?"

"If you really acted so heartlessly, wouldn't the officials around you in the future put everyone in danger?"

Speaking of this, Sun Shaozong also put on a face of "my heart is long, I can show the sun and the moon", and sighed, "I don't want to, but I really can't! I hope my brother can understand my painstaking efforts, don't do it for my own sake." The trifles of the little official Cuoer ruined this great situation."

I will repeat the original words, only to hear Jia Yucun's teeth clenched and his face ashen!

But the old fox is an old fox after all, and after only a moment of effort, he suppressed his anger again.

I saw him pointing at himself, then at Sun Shaozong, and said with a hearty smile, "I'm sorry to say something to Han Fu Yin, I'm afraid you will be the only one in this house who can compete with my Jia Yucun in the future." !"

Chapter 176

Although Han Anbang was narrow-minded and liked to do ruthless things, Jia Yucun could hold such an important position as prison manager, or it would be more appropriate for Sun Shaozong's people to take charge.

Therefore, Jia Yucun and Zhou Da's promotion are basically settled.

The only thing Sun Shaozong was worried about was that after this guy got a fat job, he would also amass money like his predecessor, so after returning to the Criminal Division, he specially called him over to scare him.

When Zhou Da heard that the matter of 'promoting to prison officer' had been settled, he smiled happily, not to mention a few threats, but even pointing at his nose and scolding his mother, that would be his pleasure.

So in front of Sun Shaozong, he swore to the sky and made a good promise, and then he left the main room happily.

"Brother Zhou, wait!"

As soon as he got down the steps, someone behind him caught up.

Zhou Da looked back and saw that it was Cheng Rixing who called him, he quickly bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "Master Cheng, what else do you have to explain?"

"You can't use the word 'confession', Mr. Prisoner."

Cheng Rixing smiled and said, "I just want to ask, what are the arrangements for the vacancies of officials and envoys?"

Officials and envoys are all subordinate officials under the jurisdiction of the prison, and they are commonly known as prison bosses. The downfall of the prison supervisor this time is a case, and several prison bosses were naturally taken down together.

"This……"

As soon as Zhou Da heard it, he knew that he had something to say, so he hurriedly asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, there is no explanation. Could it be that Mr. Cheng has a good candidate, and he wants to be promoted to the next government?"

"Although it's not a 'virtuous'."

Cheng Rixing chuckled, "But I really have a suitable candidate here. It is the drunk King Ni Er of Yunshui Lane. He is related to Dong Weng, and he has some skills. Let him come forward to punish those slippery jailers. Wouldn't it save you a lot of hands, Mr. Zhou?"

This Drunk King Ni Er, Zhou Da naturally also knows.

Although he is barely related to the Sun family, Ni Er is not yet able to get in front of Sun Shaozong and Sun Shaozu brothers, but he has gotten quite close to Cheng Rixing in recent days, and he has helped Cheng Rixing a lot. private affairs'.

However, what Cheng Rixing said was indeed reasonable. There was a shabby Huhu with relatives in the Sun family who charged in the front, and he would definitely save a lot of energy as the prison manager.

only……

Zhou Dawei could it be that "Master Cheng, your lord just told you to avoid the disaster of corruption, then Ni Er was born in the market after all, in case you get greedy..."

Cheng Rixing waved his hand, "Don't worry about that, I'm just protecting his future, if he really doesn't live up to expectations, you can use him as a weapon, anyway, he can't be regarded as Dong Weng's serious relative!"

With these words, Zhou Da finally agreed, and invited Cheng Rixing to drink and celebrate at his home in a few days.

However, after Cheng Rixing watched Zhou Da enter the wing room, he went back to the main room, bowed and recounted what he just said.

After listening to it, Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "Lao Zhou's eyelids are a bit shallow, and recently he has given away most of his family's wealth. No one is watching, I am really worried."

"Actually, Dong Weng doesn't have to worry too much." Cheng Rixing said with a smile, "The person who signed the recommendation letter is Mr. Liu, but what has Dong Weng to do with it?"

Sun Shaozong gouged out his eyes indifferently, Cheng Rixing suddenly felt lost, and shut his mouth tightly in embarrassment.

The afternoon's work was lackluster.

Let’s just talk about Sun Shaozong returning home after the yamen, and hearing Zhao Zhongji’s report as soon as he entered the door, saying that after the buddies attended some “literary meeting” in the morning, they seemed to be suffocated, and they even ate much less lunch than usual .

"Didn't eat much?"

"Uh, it's mainly the two nephews and young masters, Mr. Yu can't see anything."

Could it be that during the Wenhui, people lost face a lot?

It stands to reason that the style of writing in the south of the Yangtze River is in full swing, not to mention beating local scholars in the capital, at least they will not be too inferior.

Could it be that he met some kind of expert?

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong really became interested, so he went to the small courtyard where the three of them were.

As soon as he passed through the doorway, he heard Sun Chengtao yelling angrily in the main room, "It is said that it is the most benevolent place under the feet of the emperor, but I don't want to have such a shameless villain!"

Sun Shaozong raised his voice and asked, "I don't know which shameless villain, who made you so angry that you can't even eat?"

When the three people in the room heard his voice, they rushed out to greet him.

Sun Chengye still had to hide a few words, but Sun Chengtao told the story of the morning experience like tofu in a bamboo tube.

But it turned out that two disciples of Sun Shaozong specially came to invite three people to participate in the literary meeting of the 'Jade Pavilion Poetry Club' yesterday. All three thought it was a good opportunity to exchange ideas with local scholars, so they went happily.

Who would have thought that at the essay meeting, some kind of Sun Hanlin would jump out, showing off as if the stars were holding the moon and peacocks, and targeting the three of them everywhere.

"My third brother and I are inferior in skills, so we can't say anything!"

Sun Chengtao said angrily, "Ke Tingyi's poems are obviously better than that of Sun Hanlin in style, but he belittled them to nothing!" !"

Sun Hanlin?

I didn't expect this guy to lose someone in front of him, but he found a few "junior children" on him.

Sun Shaozong sneered in his heart, and said to Yu Qian, "The poems written by Sun Hanlin and you, why not write them down first and let me have a look."

But Yu Qian smiled indifferently, "Poetry is nothing more than a small story, victory is not enough to be happy, and defeat is not enough to worry - but Li Jingbin and Wang Zhefei, who knew that their uncle and Sun Hanlin were at odds, still encouraged us to participate in the Emerald Pavilion." Wen Hui, I'm afraid this thought is..."

Sun Chengtao was taken aback by the side, obviously he hadn't thought of this before, he hesitated and said, "Brother Li and Brother Wang may... maybe they have any malicious intentions, right? Besides, we don't have any evidence, do we?"

evidence?

What kind of evidence is needed for this kind of 'deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors'?Just a glimmer of possibility is enough!

However, Sun Shaozong was too lazy to talk about these two little people now, instead he urged Yu Qian again to transcribe all those poems.

Based on Sun Shaozong's foundation in ancient prose, it's really hard to tell which of these poems is high and which is low - besides, he was born as a martial artist, even if he could judge it, those literati would probably not approve it.

Fortunately, he asked Yu Qian to write it down, but he didn't want to read it himself.

After drying up the ink stains on it, and rolling it up and putting it in his sleeve pocket, Sun Shaozong said, "In a few days, I will have someone bring these poems to Mr. Wang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, for his review. suspected..."

Speaking of this, he sneered a few times, "Then Sun Hanlin, I'm afraid he won't have the face to stay in the Imperial Academy again."

Since Sun Hanlin used his power to suppress Yu Qian, it's no wonder that Sun Shaozong moved out Wang Shangshu, a great god, and crushed him inhumanely.

Of course, the premise is that Yu Qian's poems are indeed better than Sun Hanlin's.

Chapter 177 Embarrassed, Jia Enhou visits the door to sell girls 【Part [-]】

But when he said that he had collected the poems, Sun Shaozong put on the face of an elder again, and earnestly said, "Although it is a good thing to learn and communicate with local scholars, you must not delay your own homework."

The three hurriedly bowed in response.

Sun Shaozong took out another name card, handed it to Sun Chengye, and said, "These adults may serve as examiners next year. I have sent someone to buy the articles they wrote in their lives. You may wish to read them carefully in your spare time." Study and figure it out."

Trying to figure out the preferences of the chief examiner is an important part of the imperial examination—and being able to know the preferences of the chief examiner a few months in advance will naturally give you a little more confidence than others.

Therefore, the three of them thanked each other hurriedly and respectfully.

Sun Shaozong turned his face and stared at Sun Chengtao again and asked, "Did you take a fancy to that maid named Yuhe in the eldest brother's courtyard?"

"This...I..."

Sun Chengtao's face turned red. The day before yesterday, he saw that maid was cute and cute, so he took the opportunity to tease a few words, but unexpectedly it reached Sun Shaozong's ears!

This matter can be big or small, if you want to put it on the side of Nanzong, you have to suffer a meal and kneel in the ancestral hall for half a day.

He was hesitating whether to kneel down and admit his mistake, but Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "Young Mu Ai is a natural person, what's wrong with admitting it? It's just that you don't want to be distracted at the moment—how about this, if you are in Jinke High School, I will I will be the master and give you that Yuhe!"

Sun Chengtao was overjoyed when he heard the words, that Yuhe was selected from the refugee camp thousands of times, except for her younger age, her figure and appearance were all top-notch, the uncles would be very reluctant to leave it in Jinling Cut love!

So he hurriedly bowed to the end, "Nephew, Xie Thirteenth Uncle and Sixth Uncle Chengquan!"

The implication of this is that he has full confidence in the high school Jinshi.

Sun Shaozong smiled and chatted with them about family matters, and then Shi Shi ran out of the small courtyard.

The three watched him leave, but Sun Chengtao couldn't help but click his tongue and praised, "Uncle Thirteen is young, and looks more like a serious elder than Uncle Six."

Sun Chengye immediately glared at him, "What does it mean to be like an elder? Thirteenth Uncle is an elder in the first place! Hurry up and go back to the house to review your homework, and next time you dare to mess around with the maids in this house, be careful that I will serve you in behalf of Third Uncle's family law!"

Not to mention how their brothers are.

However, except for this courtyard, Sun Shaozong did not go directly to his residence, but went to the main courtyard of Brother Cheap first.

Now that Sun Chengtao was promised, Yu He would naturally have to be sent to the front, otherwise, if the cheap brother got interested and dragged him to the bed in a daze to benefit from it—that would not be a favor, but an intentional embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the main courtyard and asked, Sun Shaozu was not there.

The woman who heard the reply said, "Just now the concierge passed word that the elder of the Rongguo Mansion was visiting, and the elder hurried to the front."

Jia She?

What is this idiot old pervert doing here?

If you want to say that the most notorious master in the Rongguo Mansion, I am afraid that it must be the elder Jia She!

Greedy for money, lustful, addicted to gambling, unfeeling, ungrateful...

The only 'advantage' is that they are easy to fool, so when the Sun family brothers went to Rongguo Mansion to play Qiufeng, they often fooled money from him-of course, it is indispensable to often pretend to be ugly and behave like pugs.

Therefore, Jia Amnesty was the one who helped the Sun brothers the most in Rongguo Mansion, but also the one who humiliated the most!

Sun Shaozong even suspected that Big Brother Cheap is influenced by Jia Amnesty because of his lustful personality and his disdain for women.

Although he was a little curious about the purpose of Jia She's visit, Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, but he still didn't go to the front hall to find out.

Only let the woman call out the little maid Yuhe, and tell her to go to the needleworker in front, and make a stop for now.

It stands to reason that even if he is a real brother, the maid in the elder brother's house cannot be dismissed by the younger brother - but in this Sun residence, no one will question Sun Shaozong's authority.

at the same time……

In the front hall, the atmosphere was rather tense.

Jia Amnesty sat on the top seat in a grand manner, with a sullen face, frowned, blew his beard and stared, "It's only 1000 taels of silver, and you just push back and forth like this! When your brothers were poor and down, when did I let you Returned empty-handed?!"

I have never returned empty-handed, but they are all taels of scattered silver, sometimes it is just a few hundred copper coins, put together back and forth, I am afraid there is not 300 taels of silver.
