"Second brother!"

Sun Shaozong was observing Jia Baoyu's situation, and Xue Pan leaned up again and whispered, "Why am I looking at Brother Bao, something is wrong? When the younger sisters were here, he was not like this. "

Even seeing this product out, it shows that Sun Shaozong's feeling is not wrong.

He took a few steps forward and said openly, "Take the food out. I haven't eaten for two days and one night. If I eat too much, I won't be able to digest it."

Those maids and wives were actually worried, but they didn't dare to stop him because they were afraid of angering Jia Baoyu and what happened.

Hearing someone's words at this time, he tentatively stepped forward to grab those meals, but seeing that Baoyu didn't mean to stop him, he was too busy to take them down.

However, when Jia Baoyu heard Sun Shaozong's voice, he was shocked, looked up with hope, and opened his mouth to say hello.

But then, he didn't know what he remembered, and there was a hint of entanglement and flinch on his face.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong was even more puzzled.

Chong Xue Pan gave him a wink, but who knew that this guy was staring wide-eyed, and his face was unclear.

Helpless, he could only instruct him more and more: "Brother Baoyu and I have something to say, you guys should go down first."

"exactly!"

Only then did Xue Pan react, and he hurriedly reprimanded like a fly: "Hurry up and get out of my way, don't delay our brothers talking!"

After all, he is Young Master Biao, and he has always been known for being arrogant. After a little hesitation, the maids and old ladies also hurried out of the house.

Sun Shaozong just pulled a spring stool, sat opposite Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what have you found out these days, and it's going to kill you?"

After a pause, he added: "There is such a big commotion in your house, and you can't hide it if you want to cover it up in the future. It's better to say it directly, and it will save everyone from listening to rumors later."

Jia Baoyu was reluctant to speak, but after hearing what he said was reasonable, he could only frown and sigh: "So, this time our family is going to become the biggest laughing stock in the capital."

As he said that, he brought together all of his experiences in these ten days.

However, he said that day Jia Baoyu learned about the absurdity of 'one man and two families', and he was instructed by Lin Daiyu to learn that the money had been stolen by the servants, so he was furious and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Because of the price list sent by Sun Shaozong and the method of how to distinguish the authenticity of the materials, Jia Baoyu investigated the case, and it was not a smear.

In just two or three days, he found more than a dozen real hammers that were full of personal pockets!

And the people who were caught were basically the side branches of the Jia family.

Because these people rely on their relatives, they are more 'righteous' than others when they go up and down, and naturally they don't bother to cover up.

Originally, according to Baoyu's temperament, he wanted to expose the matter at that time, and let the elders in the family know the faces of these people who are called relatives but are actually moths.

However, his idea was rejected by Lin Daiyu, who was the assistant, on the grounds that Sun Shaozong had no hatred with the relatives of the Jia family, and logically would not deliberately set up a bureau to expose them.

So there must be something behind this!

Besides, it was only over 3,000 taels of silver that was found out, and it was only less than 200 taels of silver to be apportioned to each household. Some are not worth it.

Baoyu felt that it was reasonable, so she discussed with Daiyu and decided that it would be fine if they could find out.

So after that, the two launched a more in-depth and detailed investigation.

Because of the previous experience, more corruption was found this time, including relatives of the Jia family and tyrant slaves.

The methods are a bit more concealed than those of the previous ones. Most of them are colluding with outside merchants to do some dirty things that are shoddy and falsely quoted.

With the gradual deepening of the investigation, a big tiger gradually revealed itself.

"I found out at the time that there were a lot of things that were self-encumbering, and they all pointed to Wu Xindeng, the housekeeper! At that time, I roughly counted the unclear deficit balance on his body, at least 30,000 taels!"

Wu Xindeng

When Sun Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help frowning and blurted out, "The servant who died in your house is this Wu Xindeng?"

"It's this guy!"

Baoyu said angrily: "I had already collected a lot of evidence at the time, and when I was about to expose him, he suddenly jumped into a well and committed suicide, and... and also posted a list all over the house! "

"List? What list?"

"A list that is full of personal pockets!"

Jia Baoyu said, a baby's face was full of mixed flavors.

But it turned out that on the list thrown out by Wu Xindeng, the first to be revealed were Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

In addition, there are mother Jia's cronies, Madam Wang and Madam Xing's companions, Aunt Zhao's brother, Jia He's servant, Jia Zheng's scavenger...

There are all kinds of people, all of whom are the closest people to the masters in the house, and the money involved is as high as hundreds of thousands of taels!

This time, one stone really caused a thousand waves!

Those who plead guilty, those who plead guilty, those who plead guilty, those who are provocative, those who are embarrassed, who are embarrassed...

Jia Lian even used a knife with Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng, who was chasing after him, ran around in his house—according to Jia Lian's own words, this was because Wang Xifeng borrowed his name to enrich himself, so he was extremely resentful.

However, others believed in private that the conflict between his and his wife was caused by the uneven distribution of the spoils.

In short, all over the Rongguo Mansion, there was a havoc in the Heavenly Palace at the same time!

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu was also blinded, and then he was a little disheartened.

At the beginning, he said that the Rongguo Mansion was a family of robbers, but it was nothing more than angry words, but now it seems that this is not true at all!

In particular, even a few favored maids and servants around him were involved more or less, which made Jia Baoyu even more unacceptable.

But at this time, there was pressure from all directions, accusing him of making trouble out of nothing and stirring up many waves in vain.

Jia Baoyu got angry and went on a hunger strike to kill himself, not eating or drinking for two days and one night!

Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't help but interject: "Then why are you suddenly eating again?"

"This… "

Jia Baoyu was at a loss for words, before he forced a smile and said, "After all, I still have my grandmother and parents in the hall. If the white-haired people send the black-haired people, wouldn't it be extremely unfilial?"

After a pause, seeing Sun Shaozong staring at him, he twisted his neck uneasily and added, "Besides, I... I'm too hungry to take it anymore."

"Haha, you kid..."

Xue Pan laughed, and was waiting to comfort Baoyu for a few words, when the back of his neck tightened, Sun Shaozong reached out and picked him up from the chair.

Hearing Sun Shaozong's unquestionable order: "Go outside and watch for a while, don't let anyone come close to eavesdropping!"
