[There will be one update today, and another update tomorrow. 】
When the three of them came out of Zhang Biao's house, it was already dark outside.
scoff~
Sun Shaozong put the torch into the snow with a pestle, and twisted it vigorously a few times to confirm that there was no embers, and then threw it back into the courtyard.
Qiu Yunfei and Zhao Wuwei also followed suit, and when the torches were disposed of, the three of them rushed towards Zhang An's house like arrows.
"Don't rush to think about motives."
As Sun Shaozong walked, he explained: "First check the number of orphans and beggars in the city that have been lost in recent years."
Since it is not kidnapping and blackmailing, the half-eldest children who are the easiest to attack and the most easily ignored are naturally helpless orphans and beggars.
"It's not difficult."
Qiu Yunfei responded immediately, "Since your lord has implemented the beggar's security system, the local security chief will report to the government whether this beggar in Beijing dies and runs away."
After a pause, he added: "I will also have people check the teeth shops in the city one by one - but since the check two years ago, the government has been keeping a close eye on it, so there shouldn't be any omissions. ."
Two years ago, the emperor launched a census on slave status and 'talent intermediaries' in order to curb the trend of slave ownership by wealthy families. At that time, Wei Ruolan and Qiu Yunfei had fought side by side.
Since then, all the people in Beijing must be affiliated with several yamen companies with 'special licenses', otherwise they will be punished as human trafficking.
The two families are not far apart, and the effort of these few words has already arrived at the door.
That Wang Zhen was impatiently waiting inside. Hearing that Sun Shaozong had returned, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "My lord, what did you find out? Who killed that Zhang Biao?!"
Obviously, this guy still doesn't know what Sun Shaozong and others are investigating.
Sun Shaozong waved his hand, indicating that he should not say more, then went to the room to comfort Zhang Wu, and then asked Qiu Yunfei to arrange a woman and two policemen to temporarily stay at Zhang Wu's house.
It also avoids scare the snakes today, and then there will be any branches.
After everything was arranged, he called Wang Zhen to leave.
…
Half an hour later, at the corner gate of Sun Mansion.
Sun Shaozong got off the carriage and was still thinking about Zhang Biao's case. If it is true as previously speculated, Zhang An's 'righteous extermination of relatives' should not be a problem.
This was Sun Shaozong's original purpose, but until now, he was really unhappy in his heart.
While scrutinizing the case, he was rushing down the corridor to the backyard, but suddenly found that the light was on in the front hall, so he stopped subconsciously.
Now the eldest brother is not at home, and the female family members who came to look for Jia Yingchun so late must not be outsiders, they must have been brought in early in the morning.
Is there a guest waiting for him to come back
But he had clearly passed the news before that he was going to spend the night in Rongguo Mansion.
Confused, Sun Shaozong walked out of the corridor and walked towards the front hall.
As I approached the door, I heard a male duck voice who was in a period of voice change, hurriedly urging: "Good sister, you borrowed money with me this time, and I promise not to gamble again!"
listen to this...
Could it be that the younger brother of some maid in the house, or a lover, came to borrow money because of a gambling debt
But the relatives of the maid are here, how can they be qualified to light the candles in the main hall
Not to mention the relatives of the maidservants, even Zhao Wuwei, the big housekeeper, would not dare to take the relatives to the main hall indiscriminately—unless he wanted to see the master of the house.
Sun Shaozong's heart became more and more suspicious, but he heard the voice of the male duck suddenly rise, and said sternly: "You said it at the beginning, if you have any difficulties, may as well come to you for help? How come, when it's time to use you, just Crying for the third master to be poor?!"
This tone...
Not like siblings, couples.
Sun Shaozong had already arrived at the door at this time, and he looked inward with his head, and saw a woman dressed as a maid who was embarrassed; in front of her was a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, who looked smooth and slippery. Is the master of money.
The two Sun Shaozong vaguely had some impressions, but for a while they couldn't remember who it was.
Just listening to the maid mournfully said: "Third Master, I'm just a servant, even if I save some savings, I can't hold back your three or five times to ask for it - to tell you the truth, I was the one who got the money last time. After begging for a long time, I borrowed it from Yuanyang."
After hearing this, the male duck voice grabbed her arm excitedly: "Then go to borrow it! Yuanyang has borrowed it, isn't there still Qingwen? Although the little hoof is not a good thing now, it was in the past. When you are flattering on Baoyu's bed, you can always look around for good things!"
Hearing him mentioning Qingwen and Baoyu, with their gnashing teeth, combined with the previous title of the third master, Sun Shaozong suddenly thought of a person—Jia Huan.
No wonder he was talking in the front room.
Although Jia Huan is a concubine, he is still the son of Rongguo Mansion and the cousin of Jia Yingchun.
Needless to say, the embarrassed maid is Caixia, who is infatuated with Jia Huan. She has really changed in the past two years. Sun Shaozong watched for a long time, but he didn't recognize her.
Now that he knew it was these two people, Sun Shaozong lost interest.
After Mrs. Wang's deliberate indulgence in the past two years, Jia Huan was regarded as a hatred of dogs in Rongguo Mansion, and he was also notorious on the streets.
He was almost imprisoned several times at a very young age, and it was only because of Rong Guofu's face that he was spared.
How could Sun Shaozong pay attention to things like this
He turned around and quietly went back to the corridor, thinking about whether to find someone to watch, lest the two of them have another trouble, and Zhao Zhongji came up to meet him.
"Second Master!"
Seeing that he was holding the belt of his trousers with one hand, he said embarrassingly, "I just went to make it easier, but it just so happened that you came back."
Sun Shaozong didn't like his nonsense either, he just stretched out his hand and pointed into the hall.
"do not worry!"
Zhao Zhongji hurriedly said again: "I'm staring right here, and there will be no trouble!"
Hearing what he said, Sun Shaozong was about to leave.
However, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly remembered something, and turned back and warned: "No matter what you hear later, I will transfer it to Yuanyang tomorrow, so as to save her from filling the bottomless pit with money. As for Caixia, you have given it to me recently. Keep an eye on it, and if there is any irregularity in your hands and feet, immediately drive me out of the house!"
The maid steals the owner's property for the sake of her lover.
After Zhao Zhongji responded, Sun Shaozong strode back to the backyard.
Because of the news that it was not coming back for the night tonight, there was not much light in the main room—it was probably because of the battle of the stomach and intestines last night.
On the other hand, the lights were still on in the house of Xiang Ling and Second Sister You.
Sun Shaozong was hesitating about whose brand he should flip, when he saw the curtain of the door in the northwest wing open, and came out Qingwen with a copper basin.
"Second Master?"
When Qingwen saw Sun Shaozong, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise, "Aren't you going to spend the night at Rongguo Mansion?"
"There are some things, just hurry back first."
Now that Qingwen had seen it, Sun Shaozong took advantage of the situation to walk into the Xiangling house. After only walking a few steps, he suddenly smelled some blood. He frowned and looked at the basin. Blush.
"Xiangling she..."
"Our aunt is a little inconvenient today, so let's go to the house in the south."
have to!
Sure enough, it is a high hanging free card.
That being the case, naturally, I can only go to Second Sister You's house to rest.
"Second Master."
It's just that Sun Shaozong just turned around when Qingwen shouted again from behind, looked back, saw that she had put the basin under her feet, and gave a solemn salute: "My brother and sister-in-law, let's take a second. Grandpa helped."
In the past two years, she seems to have been relieved and melancholy a lot, and she has become more and more in line with her delicate and delicate facial features.
tsk~
She should have been assigned to Second Sister You's house, that woman is the best at matching...
Of course, this thought just passed by in a flash, and Sun Shaozong's current situation would not bother him too much for a maid.
So he tossed his sleeves and said indifferently, "Thank you, you don't have to. You just need to serve your concubine and young lady with all your heart, and I won't give you a hand in vain."
Having said that, he took care of himself and went to Second Sister You's house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Second Sister You sitting in front of the candlestick, as if she was worrying about something, but she didn't notice her arrival at all.
"What's the matter?"
Sun Shaozong jokingly said, "Could it be that the jewelry I just gave you was stolen by someone?"
Second Sister You was startled, she got up with a guilty conscience and said with a sneer: "What did you say, with you, the master of the sky, the servants in our house have such a thief heart, but they have no such courage."
Sun Shaozong saw that her eyes flickered between her words, as if she was hiding something from him, so he turned serious and asked, "Then why are you worried? Tell the truth!"
The tone was a little stern, and Second Sister You couldn't take it anymore. She hesitated for a while, and finally came closer and whispered: "I wonder if you have heard that my sister gave birth to a son last summer."
Yoo gave birth last summer to a...
and many more!
Sun Shaozong suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Could it be that I planted it?!"
