The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 303: Every Family Has a Skeleton in the Cupboard

After serving as his advisor for so long, Sun Shaozong had always had a downcast attitude toward Jia Baoyu. At present, he couldn't help but choke on a single sentence he said and was stunned for a moment.

And he almost lost it; that made Baoyu almost catch his expression!

Fortunately, at this moment, Cheng Rixing hurried back with several volumes in hand.contemporary romance

Master, I have already found what you want.

As he spoke, he bowed to Jia Baoyu and said, "Second Master Bao, we haven't seen each other for some time, right?

Cheng Rixing used to be a protege of the powerful who stayed with his benefactor like a parasite at Jia Zheng's side, but now he worked as a private advisor under Sun Shaozong. Although his status has not been very high, he has a certain influence on the host family.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu didn't dare to put on a manner. He quickly returned the greeting and casually smiled. "Why do you seem to be in a hurry, Master Cheng?

Its all because of you.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong finally regained his composure and calmly took over the few volumes, saying, "Let's go in and talk.

As he spoke, he walked straight into the room.

Upon seeing this, Baoyu immediately remembered his purpose and quickly followed in with an apologetic smile.

After entering the door, Sun Shaozong picked up a volume of files and quickly flipped them over on the desk. After a while, he pointed to the text on a certain page and said, "Here, come and take a look.

Jia Baoyu had already been extremely curious and quickly approached to carefully examine the situation.

But on that page, it was written in regular script, In the spring of the eighth year of Guangde, Hong Guan'er, a performer from the Princes Residence, fell into a well and died. After investigation, it was purely an accident and there was no secret information.

As soon as Baoyu finished reading this paragraph, Sun Shaozong immediately turned to the next page and pointed to the top row, saying, "Look at this again.

In the summer of the eighth year of Guangde, Xi Guan'er, a performer from the Princes Residence, suddenly died due to an emergency, and there was no secret investigation.

And here.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Guangde, Zhang Shi, a musician from the Prince's Residence, hanged himself and found no secret information.

In half a year, three lives were lost in a row, and there were no secrets found three in a row!

Jia Baoyu's hair stood on end as if he had understood something, but he couldn't think it through. Therefore, he asked in a stern voice, "What's the connection between this... and Brother Jiang?

He originally thought that Sun Shaozong would continue to analyze like before, but to his surprise, Sun Shaozong shook his head and calmly uttered three words, "I don't know.

Don't know?

Jia Baoyu's eyes widened in surprise.

I only know at the moment

Sun Shaozong said sternly, "Hong Guan'er was originally the most favored actor in the royal palace, and Xi Guan'er was his most trusted deputy leader.

In addition to the dead musician, Zhang, there were as many as five or six people injured or expelled in the royal theater troupe at that time, and it was during that winter that Jiang Yuhan became the new favorite of the Prince.

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment at the words, then lowered his head and looked at the text on the booklet, feeling even more dazzled.

However, remembering Jiang Yuhan's gentle and jade-like appearance, he still felt unbelievable and couldn't help but question, "It doesn't seem to prove that it's Brother Jiang who caused them harm, right?

Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, That's why I said, I don't know.

As he spoke like this, he flipped back a few pages of the booklet and pointed to another record, saying, "Come take a look at this one again.

Jia Baoyu followed his guide and saw it read, In the summer of the ninth year of Guangde, the maid of the Princes Residence, Chun Mei, had an affair with someone and was sentenced to death on the spot.

Sun Shaozong introduced, "This Chun Mei is the most favored maidservant by the side Concubine. It said she had an affair with someone and was stabbed to death, but it didn't mention anything about the adulterer.

Is it... Is it Brother Jiang?

Of course not?

Sun Shaozong initially denied it and then explained, "With the Prince's favor for Jiang Yuhan, theres no big deal by just sleeping with a big maid.

However, according to rumors, the two Concubines of the royal residence were somewhat jealous of your elder Brother Jiang. However, shortly after the servant girl's death, there was a rumor of a happy and harmonious relationship in bed.

From then on, Jiang Yuhan's position in the royal residence can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people.

After all, Jia Baoyu was not a fool either. His face immediately changed and he stared blankly at the records on the file without saying a word for a long time.

Sun Shaozong followed in silence for a while before patting him on the shoulder and saying with great sincerity, "I don't know what role Jiang Yuhan played inside, but he can easily weather these many storms and maintain his reputation for years. His shrewdness is incomparable.

Jia Baoyu suddenly looked up and said in doubt, "Second Master Sun, since you have found many things, why... Why not..."

Although he hesitated halfway through the conversation, Sun Shaozong knew what he meant. He just wanted to ask himself, Why not uphold justice for the person who died in vain?

Sigh~

Sun Shaozong sighed and handed over the other two volumes, gesturing for Jia Baoyu to look through them on his own.

However, Jia Baoyu didn't need to look through it. He only saw the six characters Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion on the cover of the dossier, and his eyes were already wide open!

It took him a long time to tremble and reach out his hand, gripping a corner of the cover of the Rongguo Mansion file. The thin piece of paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hand, trembling and struggling for a long time, but it remained motionless.

Alright, since you're afraid to read, don't read.

Sun Shaozong patted him on the shoulder again and said helplessly, "Actually, these dark and private matters are indispensable in any big house. Not to mention you and me, even the Emperor from ancient times to modern times, we can only turn a blind eye to these things.

After a few words of relief, Baoyu felt relieved, but he didnt dare touch those two volumes anymore.

Sun Shaozong poured two more cups of tea, handed him one, and said, "Let's suppress the shock. This tea is still from Uncle

Who knew that before he could finish a sentence, he heard the commotion outside. magic

Im wronged, My Lord.

Please return justice to me, Lord Sun.

Lord Sun...

Upon hearing this news, it seemed that a group of women were shouting grievances outside.

The problem was that even if someone shouted grievances, they should have shouted outside the office door. Why did they run into the courtyard?

One should know that the courtyard of the Criminal Department was not open to anyone!

Sun Shaozong was puzzled and quickly placed the teacup on the table, leading Baoyu out of the room.

Upon arriving in the living room, he saw Cheng Rixing also holding the curtain and looking out curiously.

Sun Shaozong then asked, "Private Advisor Cheng, what's going on outside?

Cheng Rixing glanced at them again, then turned around and said, unsure, "Master, I took a look at those women who were crying out for injustice; they were like the female jailer in the house arrest facility.

Why did the female jailer in the house arrest come here to complain?

Sun Shaozong first felt inexplicable and then suddenly realized that Miaoyu had just arrived; perhaps it was because of her
