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

Jia Baoyu's whole body jolted, and he looked at Sun Shaozong for a while in astonishment, but finally he looked away and said embarrassingly, "What does the second brother mean by saying this, I..."

"Don't lie."

Sun Shaozong added indifferently: "This kind of thing, if I ask the maid in your courtyard to ask a few questions, I will know it clearly."

Jia Baoyu pursed his lips in embarrassment, and then sneered after a while, "It's really Butler Lai, but he didn't really persuade me. It's mainly because I figured it out myself, that's why..."

"Brother Bao."

Sun Shaozong interrupted him again: "There is a saying that 'explanation is to cover up, to cover up is to be true', although logically speaking, this is a bit biased - but it is appropriate to describe your current performance. very."

Jia Baoyu froze again.

In the end, he just threw himself on the table in a fit of anger, twisted his body and shouted in a muffled voice: "Since the second brother doesn't believe what I said, then I have nothing to say - besides, I'm not on a hunger strike now, so there's no need for the second brother to get to the bottom of it. 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 it, I might as well make a guess for yourself."

"You are deterred by the situation and complained from all sides. In fact, you are already timid, and you don't dare to investigate further - but with your temperament, you probably won't expose this matter!"

"As a result, there will inevitably be some misunderstandings."

"With your ancestors and the second wife's doting on you on weekdays, after these two days and one night of torment, I'm afraid that the five internal organs will be burnt out early - regardless of whether it is intentional or not, there should be a high probability, and I will say a few words. Saying 'Isn't it just checking the accounts, if he is willing to check it, let him check it' and so on."

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

"This person is naturally greedy for money, and it is a lot of money, at least not less than the second sister-in-law Lian and Wu Xindeng."

"In order to prevent this audit of accounts from continuing and eventually affecting himself, there are only two choices in front of him."

"One, so that you will never be able to continue to check your accounts; second, you will never dare to check your accounts again!"

"The first method, in addition to killing you, must also make it impossible for people to see that you died at the hands of others - given that you are unwilling to eat anything, and there are a large number of people guarding you at any time, trying to implement The silence plan is really difficult to achieve."

"The second way, you only need to have a handle, a handle that is enough to make you dare not check it any more!"

"And Lai Da, as the general manager of the mansion, has controlled the Rongguo mansion for more than 20 years, and it is also common sense to hold such a handle in his hand."

Having said this, Sun Shaozong turned his head and asked, "I don't know if there is anything in my speculation?"

Jia Baoyu stared at him blankly for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the second brother's eyes!"

After a pause, he got up and gave a deep salute, and said earnestly, "Second brother, if I beg you, you can just leave it alone, okay?"

"It's done."

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

Jia Baoyu rubbed his body all of a sudden, straightened up again, and said in surprise, "Second brother means..."

"I don't have any evidence right now."

Sun Shaozong spread his hands: "But since Da Lai has already revealed his true body, as his 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 slaves in your house were listed one by one, but there was no mention of a few housekeepers-could it be that he and Da Lai were the only housekeepers who were greedy for this thing? No one else got involved?"

"Second brother is saying..."

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

"A reasonable guess, isn't it?"

Sun Shaozong said indifferently: "It's just that he didn't expect that you were so frightened that you started a drama of hunger strike and suicide."

Jia Baoyu was silent again, holding the table with both hands, a baby face flickering in the light.

"I can guess that the handle must be of great importance."

Sun Shaozong said again: "But can you be sure that after giving in this time, it won't arouse his arrogance, so that he has to make an inch?"

"Anything to measure?"

Jia Baoyu raised his head blankly, with a confused look on his face, obviously not understanding what else could be more serious than the current situation.

"Ha ha."

Sun Shaozong grinned sternly: "I have heard people talk about an official anecdote before—about the second year of Guangde, a certain county official in Sichuan was pinched by the housekeeper and hurt his foot."

"The housekeeper was also afraid of fighting wolves with a hemp stick at first, but after several trials, he found that the high-ranking county magistrate was actually a coward at heart!"

"So the housekeeper went step by step, getting more and more over the fire, and in the end he simply occupied the magpie's nest, first sleeping with the magistrate's concubine, and then his wife, and finally, when the incident happened, even the magistrate's twelve-year-old daughter, They're already pregnant with that housekeeper's bones..."

wow~

"Don't say it! I beg you not to say it!"

Jia Baoyu roared, and suddenly overturned the table!

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

Jia Baoyu stood there in a three-pointed ferocious atmosphere, his chest heaving rapidly, and a few drops of cold sweat slowly dripping down his forehead, obviously putting himself into the situation of the magistrate.

Right at this moment, the door to the left and right of Xue Pan came in. Seeing the mess, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What's wrong? Treasure..."

"go out!"

Jia Baoyu shouted loudly, and Xue Pan hurriedly retracted his head in fright. He just thought about it, why should he be afraid of Baoyu when he is a big brother

So he had the intention to go in again to 'provocate', but after thinking of the crazy appearance of Baoyu just now, he still didn't dare.

But he said that Jia Baoyu smashed Xue Pan away, and the fear in his heart finally vented part of it. He took two steps forward and bowed to Sun Shaozong to the end: "I also ask the second brother to teach me, what should I do now?!"

After that, he said very frustratedly: "Telling my grandmother is definitely not going to work. This mansion is full of Lai Da's eyes and ears, even me here..."

"As long as I have any suspicious actions, he will immediately shake things out and burn them all!"

"Burning all the jade?"

Sun Shaozong heard these four words, but his heart moved. It seems that this handle is still a double-edged sword. Not only will the masters of Rongguo Mansion be unlucky, but Lai Da himself will not be able to please him.

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

"This… "

Jia Baoyu pondered for a while, then shook his head firmly and said, "There should be no. He told me that 'the law does not pass on six ears', even if you are dreaming, you can't talk nonsense!"

it is as expected!

"If that's the case, then things are much simpler, as long as..."

Sun Shaozong said, stretched out his hand and pulled it into his neck.

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

Jia Baoyu was shocked and sat back on the show pier. His hands were shaking like a sieve, and he murmured: "I... I..."

ah~

What a piece of shit!

Sun Shaozong sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, don't worry about it here - that Lai Da has already been wary of you, how can you do anything to a half-old child like you who has no power? ?"

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

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

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

He asked angrily: "There are tyrant slaves in your house to bully the master, how come you don't have loyal servants to protect the master? There are hundreds of slaves up and down in Jia's house. Risking your life for your family?"

"This… "

Jia Baoyu was at a loss for a while, suddenly remembered someone, and nodded hurriedly: "There is a very loyal one, but..."

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

Sun Shaozong said angrily: "Find a way to give that person a word. If you're not sure, don't say it too clearly!"
