The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 218: Don't dare to be heard

Views:

To say that the exposure of this case is far greater than the private investigation of the case.

Within a few days of the trial of the rebellious case, the phrase 'of course I forgive her' has spread all over the streets and has become the most popular slanderous word both inside and outside the capital this spring.

However, Sun Shaozong didn't have time to pay attention to this. After the recommendation letter from Master Zhao, the censor of the Youdu, was handed in, he never got a reply from the court, so the position of the criminal name and sentence was always vacant.

This time, it was Sun Shaozong who suffered. He didn't talk about the errands of governance and sentencing. In addition, he accumulated a lot of official affairs during the New Year. He was really busy, and he kept his hands and feet on the ground. Can't care about it.

In this way, I have been busy until the end of the month, and I can only take care of everything from the top and bottom of the criminal department.

So Sun Shaozong said nothing, and immediately reported himself to rest for three days, ready to recharge his batteries at home.

In other words, the words 'recharge one's energy' really mean literally.

Ruan Rong was confinement, and Xiang Ling was pregnant for more than two months. Sun Shaozong was now unable to touch her children, so she could only sleep alone in the study.

This is right in the mind of the cheap eldest brother. Recently, he has been urging Rong Guofu to marry his daughter. He just changed the Geng Tie a few days ago, and when he saw it, he went to find a monk and Taoist priest to estimate the wedding date.

But said the twenty-ninth day of the first month.

Sun Shaozong slept in the study until the sun was up to three poles before he got up from the slump and called for the little maid who was on duty at night to come in to serve and wash.

After tidying up, he was ready to go to the backyard to tease his son.

Unexpectedly, just a few steps out, a servant caught up behind him, saying that Xu Shouye and Xu Baihu from the patrol camp came to visit, but now the housekeeper Zhao is talking with him.

Xu Shouye came to visit

Sun Shaozong thought for a few moments, and then he suddenly realized that Xu Shouye's visit at this time, needless to say, was designated for the 'same year party'.

After all, the 'same year party' in the previous two years was set in February, and this year will be no exception.

Last year, there was a scumbag like Zhu Peng, who had to rush to be the host, but this year it was the situation where Sun Shaozong's family dominated. According to the current practice, it is natural that he should be the initiator.

However, Sun Shaozong has been tired of official business recently, and he is busy enjoying family fun in his spare time, but he still remembers such a bird thing

Xu Shouye's visit right now was a real wake-up call for him.

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly turned back to the front hall.

"Brother Sun comes to the door three times in ten months, I'm really envious of others!"

As soon as Fang entered the door, Xu Shouye greeted him with a hearty laugh. It seemed that he was quite concerned about the affairs of the Sun family, otherwise, he should only know about Liangxi [birth of a son, promotion].

Of course, it is also possible that the cheap eldest brother drank too much cat urine and quarreled in the patrol camp.

Sun Shaozong also laughed, knowing that this man was a straight-hearted man, so he didn't bother to be polite to him, put his hands together, and said straight to the point: "Brother Xu is not just here to congratulate me, right?"

Who would have thought that Xu Shouye was stunned for a moment, but lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Why, did Brother Sun already hear the wind?"

wind

What else can be heard about this 'same year party'

Besides, even if there is really any 'wind noise', it should come from the mouth of the host, Sun Shaozong.

"how?"

Sun Shaozong motioned for him to go in and take a seat, and wondered, "Could it be that Brother Xu came to see me to discuss the 'same year party' next month?"

"Hey hey~!"

Xu Shouye slapped his forehead and said angrily, "If you don't tell me, I really forgot about it!"

Sun Shaozong was speechless. Just now he thought he reminded him, but now it seems that he reminded him.

"Then what brother Xu just said, what is it?"

"this… "

Xu Shouye hesitated for a while, but he still said sternly: "Brother Sun knows that Xu Tai has already ordered to return to Beijing to report his work, and will arrive in Shuntian Mansion soon?"

As mentioned in the previous article, this Xu Tai is also the same year as Sun Shaozong's first list, and he is also the second place in the first and second place.

After Xu Tai was transferred to a civilian position, he served as a magistrate on the southeast coast for more than a year. Later, due to his good command, he severely damaged the Japanese pirates who went ashore and looted, and was promoted to be a magistrate of the fifth grade.

Therefore, before Sun Shaozong was promoted to Zhizhong, this official rank can be said to be the highest in the same period.

However, it has been less than two years since Xu Tai was promoted to Zhizhou, and it is obviously not a normal full-time job debriefing in Beijing this time.

Sun Shaozong asked, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Naturally it's not a good thing."

Xu Shouye shook his head and said, "He just offended Taiwei Wang of the nine provinces, what can he ask for in Beijing this time?"

Offended Prince Teng

Although Wang Ziteng holds the title of Superintendent of the Nine Provinces and can mobilize officials of all sizes in the coastal provinces, in the end he controls military power rather than civil affairs. How could Xu Tai, a small local official, have a conflict with him

"Oh, it's also this old Xu who is full!"

Xu Shouye said half-complaining and half-admiringly: "A few years ago, he even wrote a letter saying that Taiwei Wang's plan to suppress the Japanese was a little conservative, and he was blindly optimistic about the situation. In the long run, it would only waste the country's strength and it would be difficult to eradicate the Japanese plague."

tsk~

This Xu Tai is really brave!

Now Wang Ziteng holds the military power in the nine provinces. Although there are not many serious soldiers and horses on the southeast coast, he can still be regarded as a leader among the officials of the frontier. It is too late for ordinary local officials to flatter him. No

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong also vaguely guessed Xu Shouye's intention, so he said, "Brother Xu wants me to help and take care of Xu Taiyi or two?"

Xu Shouye was distracted by him. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "I shouldn't have forced Brother Sun, but among the people Old Xu knows, I'm afraid that you are the only one who can put up some strength."

After a pause, he hurriedly added: "We have no control over how the imperial court decides, I just think that a man like Xu Tai should not be humiliated by those villains who possess power!"

Sun Shaozong naturally understood what he meant. There is a saying that the King of Hell is good to see and the little devil is difficult to deal with. Wang Ziteng may not care much about this matter - even if he is really grumpy, he will be proud of his identity.

However, after some villains knew about this, they had to step on Xu Tai, so as to be a step forward.

For example-

Stuff like Jia Yucun!

But even if it's just dealing with those villains who tend to be inflamed, I'm afraid it's not a leisurely errand...

Sun Shaozong pondered carefully for a while, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Brother Xu, when Xu Tai arrives in the capital, how about you and I go outside the city to meet you?"

Xu Shouye was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It's just what you want, I don't dare to ask!"
