The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 302: The Master was Starved to Death After Teaching the Disciple

The next morning, Sun Shaozong broke free from his body entanglement with Ruan Rong and got up from bed. With the help of Shiliu and others, he had a simple breakfast and went to the west chamber to kiss his son, who was crying loudly. Only then did he prepare to be on duty in the Yamen with satisfaction.

But as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a tall and sturdy figure welcoming him, bowing and greeting him, saying, "Greetings to the Second Master.

Sun Shaozong then stood still and casually asked, "What happened? Does Sister-in-law have any instructions?

Siqi respectfully said, "Actually, it's the Second Madam Lian from Rongguo Mansion. Yesterday, she entrusted the Madam to discuss a business with our mansion. I should have discussed this matter with the Eldest Master first. However, the Eldest Master has been on duty recently, and my Madam is afraid of delaying the business, so she asked me to inform you first.

As she spoke, she briefly recounted what Wang Xifeng had said about the timber business. It was some repeatedly used trick of Sun Shaozong but with some modifications made to the details, as the Sun family lost a third of their profits out of thin air.

In fact, the reason Wang Xifeng wanted to negotiate this business through Jia Yingchun was not to deceive Sun Shaozong but to privately reach a deal with his Big Brother. In the case of the Sun brothers, this idea was also unrealistic.

Her idea was that no matter how much her Brother or Sister-in-law said, they were much closer to each other than her Brother-in-law. As long as she maintained the key relationship with Jia Yingchun, it wouldnt be difficult to exclude Sun Shaozong from the core circle.

As for asking Sun Shaozong to help or something, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but beg for it.

However, she did not realize that Sun Shaozong had become Jia Yingchun's closest person, not to mention his Big Brother and Sister-in-law. Even his father, Jia She, was much worse than him.

Sun Shaozong naturally knew about Wang Xifeng's plan for a long time, but in order not to expose Ping'er as an insider, he pretended to ponder for a while before sneering and saying, "Second Sister-in-law indeed has a good plan! You go back and tell your Madam that this matter will be decided after I discuss it with Big Brother!

After sending away the somewhat confused Siqi, Sun Shaozong temporarily forgot about this matter.

He was originally anxious about this matter because he was worried that Wang Xifeng might not be interested. Now that Wang Xifeng has taken the initiative to attack, it was better to leave her to ponder for a while first, so that she wouldnt think he has no other choices and would take them for granted.

Anyway, the most important part of Yingchun had already been cleared by him, and even if Wang Xifeng tried any scheme, it was ultimately in vain.

When Sun Shaozong hadnt sat for long, Zhao Wuwei calmly approached him and reported the latest progress in yesterday's Chen Zhu case or rather, the current situation of no progress.

After a thorough search, Sun Shaozong didn't even find a trace of what he had explained, but he solved several cases of petty theft.

In addition, after the mat was sent to the pharmacy, except for some eyesight from looking at a retard, it also received nothing.

Seeing that there was no progress in either direction, Sun Shaozong asked again, "Concubine Su usually has dealings with those monks and Taoist priests. Have you ever questioned them?

If it were true, as Sun Shaozong suspected, that what was pressing under the mattress was some kind of hallucinogenic poison, it would be difficult for a woman like Concubine Su to plant it alone. Therefore, there was a high possibility that her accomplice was among the frequent monks and Taoists.

This

Zhao Wuwei smiled bitterly and said, "Master, that woman casually explained that there are seven or eight people with names and surnames, all of whom have backers. If there is evidence, we could open up and interrogate them. However, without real evidence, we may not be able to act recklessly.

Nowadays, it was customary for monks to make friends with powerful individuals, almost like Miaoyu, completely relying on the powerful individuals of a certain family. Those with some skills could navigate between several powerful individuals, leveraging their power while maintaining a certain degree of independence.

A monk like this was not something that the Central Judicial Office could easily manipulate.

So it seemed that he could only first look for similarities between the two in another case to continue the investigation.

Sun Shaozong made up his mind and was about to call for Qiu Yunfei to go to the Prince's Residence to find Jiang Yuhan and inquire about the identity and background of the family. However, he suddenly heard someone outside reporting that Second Master Bao from Rongguo Mansion was seeking to see him outside the door.

This kid was really impatient. He told him to come back in two days

But since he came, he couldnt refuse him, could he?

Just after watching the romantic scene last night, Sun Shaozong was too lazy to go out and greet him, so he instructed the door boy to let Baoyu in directly.

As soon as the door boy went away, Sun Shaozong called out to Cheng Rixing again, whispering a few words, and Cheng Rixing hurriedly left the hall.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Baoyu was seen wrapped in a dark red cloak and strode into the Criminal Investigation Department.

He was still outside the door, but his voice during the changing period first came to his ears, "Second Brother Sun, I didn't fall asleep all night yesterday when I went back. I can't wait anymore, so I picked up the courage to come to your door. Please don't take it amiss...

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Baoyu had already entered the room and bowed to Sun Shaozong. However, his black eyes were wandering around, as if searching for some rare object.

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but wonder, "What are you looking for?

"Naturally, the beauties who look like flowers.

Although his eyes held a dull look when he spoke of beautiful women like flowers, Baoyu's face still shone with a smile, and he said, I just watched her carriage enter the side door. The door boy still told me that she would come to the Criminal Investigation Office every three to five times.

A woman?

She always came to the Criminal Department every three to five days?

Sun Shaozong was a bit puzzled at first, but then suddenly remembered someone. He suddenly said, "Are you talking about Miaoyu the nun? She comes often, but she's not looking for me, but someone else.

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed towards the east courtyard.

Brother Wei.

Guessing the person Sun Shaozong was referring to, Baoyu was immediately taken aback and furrowed his thick eyebrows, muttering, "Brother Wei and Sister Miaoyu are implicated in one place. Perhaps it's a bit inappropriate?

Upon hearing him say this, Sun Shaozong's heart was moved and he quickly pretended to be calm with a smile, saying, "They are in love with each other. Why does it even cause you to worry?

Even if they are both willing to, I won't allow it.

Jia Baoyu immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and said, "The Wei family has been busy lately. They are arranging for Sister Xiangyun as a wife for Brother Wei. How can he hang out with Sister Miaoyu so often at this time?

If it were a common pursuit of flowers and willows, Jia Baoyu might not care, but Miaoyu was also a serious Official Lady and couldnt be a Concubine to anyone!

Upon hearing his words, Sun Shaozong suddenly realized that the Wei family was planning to arrange a marriage with the Shi family!

In the beginning, the Shi family had revealed some rumors that they wanted to marry the Sun family. Although Sun Shaozong thought that Shi Xiangyun was too young and pretended to be deaf and dumb, he knew the benefits of marrying Shi Xiangyun.

No wonder last night, Wei Ruolan suddenly demanded peace. At this crucial moment, naturally, stability was over everything!

After clearing up the matter, Sun Shaozong immediately put on a look of righteous indignation and said angrily, "Is there such a thing?! That Xiangyun girl, whose parents died in childhood, is the most lonely. I never expected to meet such a half-hearted young man when he is discussing marriage now.

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, she doesn't have serious parents or brothers; otherwise, she wouldn't have ignored this.

Xiangyun and Baoyu are also childhood sweethearts, and their relationship might not necessarily be inferior to that of their true siblings.

It was precisely because Sun Shaozong knew this that he deliberately used words to provoke Baoyu. Despite his desire to provoke him, he went to the East Cross Courtyard to find Wei Ruolan and said that as long as there was a stir, the marriage between the Shi and Wei families would naturally become intertwined.

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu's face changed a few times. Suddenly, he solemnly bowed to Sun Shaozong and said in a deep voice, "I will definitely find Brother Wei to inquire about it in the future. Please don't spread this matter to others, so as not to cause any trouble.

Sun Shaozong, "...

This was really the saying that the Master would starve to death after teaching the disciples. If it weren't for Sun Shaozong waking him up several times, how could he have thought so comprehensively?!
