The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 284: Be Accessory to the Tyrant's Crimes

Was this considered to aid the tyrant in his tyranny?

No!

This was also for the sake of the Madam, otherwise, with her temperament, how could she survive in this family?

But

Squeak~

Siqi was being questioned by her own conscience at the door when the door behind her suddenly opened, and Sun Shaozu walked out valiantly. He gave Siqi a look and said in a loud voice, "Come the hell out now!

These Concubines all thought it was the Elder Master and Madam who had caused a conflict, which one was not eager to see Jia Yingchun as a joke?

Therefore, regardless of whether inside or outside, they all supported their ears and squinted their eyes, exploring every move in the hall.

Upon hearing this shout, more than twenty Concubines surged out like a tidal wave, with one autumn wave rippling and one seductive eye fluttering in disorder. Unfortunately, Sun Shaozu responded to them with a sharp shout, "Pack up your bags and return to where you came!

All the Concubines couldn't help but be taken aback. The clever ones speculated that the couple must have reconciled again, so they quickly and silently went to pack their luggage. The motionless one couldn't react for a moment and stared at Sun Shaozu in a daze.

Slap!

Sun Shaozu slapped the front Concubine casually and then snapped, "What's wrong? Does what I said now not work anymore?

Bang!

The remaining Concubines immediately scattered, packed their luggage properly, carrying large and small bags, and fled out of the main courtyard like refugees.

After these people had run out of sight, Sun Shaozu also strode to the door and turned around with a meaningful glance at Siqi before crossing the threshold and soaring away.

In Siqi's heart, there were mixed emotions, but Xiuju looked inexplicably. She quickly walked around in the east and looked in the west, and she saw that there were only three of them left in the courtyard. She approached Siqi in confusion and said, "Sister Siqi, how did that happen just now?

How am I supposed to know?

Siqi glanced at her angrily, turned around, pushed the door, and walked in.

Just then, Jia Yingchun was sitting on the ground, her gaze still fixed on the chair that Sun Shaozu had just sat on, but there was no focus in her pupils.

Madam

Madam, what's the matter with you?

Siqi and Xiuju quickly stepped forward to help her onto the chair, stroking her chest and pounding her back. After a lot of busy work, Yingchun responded like a dreamy person, "Don't worry, I... I'm fine.

Xiuju had no idea what was going on. Seeing her appearance, the little heart that had just been relieved raised to her throat and asked if there had been another disaster.

Siqi, however, was well aware and hesitated for a moment. She realized that she had already given her body to Sun Shaozu, and there was no way back. As instructed by Sun Shaozu, she first reprimanded Xiuju and said, "Don't talk nonsense.

As she spoke, she pretended to be curious and inquired, "What did you say to the Elder Master just now, Madam? Why did the Elder Master send those fox spirits away as soon as he went out?

The Elder Master..."

Jia Yingchun hesitated for a moment, then blushed twice on her face, biting her silver teeth tightly. However, her beautiful eyes seemed to be shrouded in a mist, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, angry or resentful.

Xiuju looked at it, but she became even more puzzled.

But Siqi looked on coldly and saw that Yingchun's heart was probably a bit loose. So she quickly advised while the iron was hot, "No matter what's going on, you have also seen those fox spirits being rampant.

Don't make the Elder Master angry again in the future, otherwise, those fox spirits will crawl onto our heads, fearing that they will humiliate and torment us in every way possible

Madam should have heard how some of the women are abused in the big house. By then, the embarrassing things the Elder Master just said may still be mild.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yingchun trembled with fear, and the blush on her face faded a bit. It was obvious that she had thought of something shocking.

Although Xiuju was still unclear, listening to their conversation, she also guessed that the Elder Master had just said nothing good in front of Siqi.

Remembering the carefree behavior of those Concubines in the courtyard who had fallen into the well and laid stones, she quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, repeatedly echoing the words of Siqi, urging Jia Yingchun to follow Sun Shaozu's instructions and never dare to annoy him again.

How was Jia Yingchun willing to offend Sun Shaozu?

But that matter was quite

The Elder Master... the Elder Master, he just..."

Jia Yingchun hesitated but ultimately felt embarrassed to say the matter.

Being in a dilemma, she then listened to Siqi's tone and said, "Madam, what has the Elder Master said that made you feel embarrassed?

These words happened to hit Yingchun's heart, and she quickly nodded, revealing a troubled and confused expression on her face.

Siqi asked again, "Is this requirement even more embarrassing than letting you be arbitrarily abused by the Elder Master for your entire life or letting those lowly bastards bully you in every way?

Hmm

Although that absurd incident was also embarrassing, it was accompanied by a lifetime of smooth sailing and good times. And as long as the news was not leaked, her reputation was actually unimpeded.

If she had lost favor as soon as she entered the door and was humiliated by those Concubines, not only would she suffer for the rest of her life, but it would also be spread as a joke on the streets and alleys!

Thinking like this, Jia Yingchun instinctively shook her head.

Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about?

Siqi immediately jumped and said in a lively manner, "I'm going to find the Elder Master right now, and I'll tell him that Madam has agreed.

Siqi, Siqi!

Yingchun was greatly shocked and quickly caught up with her, grabbing her arm and pleading, "Don't do this now, let me... Let me think about it again.

Madam

Although Siqi obediently stood still, she questioned, "You always say you wanted to think again. But didn't it end up in nothing? The problem is the Master's temper, how could you keep dragging it on? Anyway, you still have to agree sooner or later, why don't I go and help you deal with it now?

After a pause, she sneered again and said, "Or is it true that you plan to let those fox spirits trample and spoil over you? Will you live a miserable life?

As she spoke, she felt the strength in Jia Yingchun's hand gradually lighten a bit. So, Siqi calmly pulled away her ten green fingers one by one, and then, under the complex gaze of Yingchun, she strode out of the courtyard.

In an hour

The front hall of the Central Judicial Office.

Pak!

Sun Shaozong gave a heavy slap on the wooden plate and said solemnly, "In summary, the death of young He Bin was all caused by the private struggle between the Bai and Wang families for one foot of greed. Now that his mother, widow, and younger brothers livelihood are helpless, how can you bear it?

Therefore, this official's judgment was as follows: Anyone who participated in this private struggle two days ago shall be fined three taels of silver per person and shall be compensated to the family of He Bin. If there is no silver to pay, they shall be sentenced to two years of lowly service.

Bai ceded one room in the western chamber; the suspected culprit, Wang, ceded two rooms in the eastern chamber, three rooms in total, to the He family's mother and son, who shared the expenses of the repair of the courtyard.

Do you have any objections?

As he spoke, Sun Shaozong's eagle-like eyes patrolled the faces of everyone in the hall.

This was obviously a move of hitting 50 floggings each, and the Bai family even considered themselves the bitter masters. Now they have to pay the price of a room, so naturally they were not convinced.

It was just that

The head of the Bai family looked at his tearful younger sister and then thought about how his nephew had suffered misfortune for his own sake. The words disagree came to his lips, but he couldn't continue.

The others were only fined three taels of silver, which was not enough to cause any injuries, so it was inevitable.

Okay.

Sun Shaozong waited for a moment, but when he saw no one defending themselves, he said solemnly, "Since you have no objections, Assistant Magistrate Wei, have them sign in court.

Being arbitrarily instructed by him, Wei Ruolan, although feeling uneasy, had to take orders to act.

After everyone in the hall signed their names one by one, Sun Shaozong picked up the wooden plate and threw it heavily. The court session is adjourned.

When he arrived at the back hall, Sun Shaozong was about to instruct Wei Ruolan to organize and archive the files in this case. However, he saw Zhao Zhongji coming in from outside, nodded, and said, "Second Master, the Elder Master said that we will have a family banquet tonight. He wanted to have a few drinks with you and asked you to go back early tonight."

Upon hearing this, Sun Shaozong let out a thump in his heart.

Although his Big Brother had already given him a prompt last night, how could he have thought that he would come so quickly?!

For a moment, his heart pounded uncontrollably like a drum, hesitating, uneasy, struggling, resisting, yet faintly giving rise to a little bit of unexpected anticipation!
