Chapter 413: Politics as a Medium
Not to mention how Chief Hong enjoyed the pleasure brought by power among a group of beggars.
However, when the court was about to end, Sun Shaozong finally received the latest record of the interrogation.
As expected, there had long been a conflict of interest between the Tian family and the Xu family.
Tian Biao and his elder brother Tian Hu were the shopkeeper and accountant respectively in Song Changgeng's tea shop. In recent years, the accounts had been quite unclear, so Xu had always wanted to place his own people in the shop, but they were all rejected by the Tian family in the name of Song Changgeng.
However, once Xu remarries with the shop, it will no longer be effective to use Song Changgeng's name. At that time, the two Tian brothers will definitely be kicked out by Xu, who has been holding a grudge against them for a long time.
Of course, this only proves that they had a motive to commit the crime.
As to whether the Tian family found someone who looks like Song Changgeng to impersonate them in order to reverse the situation, it depends on the results of Qiu Yunfei's subsequent investigation.
After putting the interrogation record together with the original case file, and seeing that the sun was setting outside, Sun Shaozong stood up, added some water to the parrot in the corner, and then prepared to invite Sun Chengye to go home together.
Who would have thought that when he arrived at the outer room, he would find Jia Zheng, dressed in an official robe, sitting at the head of the guest seat with a teacup in his hand!
"Uncle?"
Sun Shaozong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, then complained to Sun Chengye, "Why didn't you let me know when Uncle Jia arrived? I could have gone out to greet him!"
Before Sun Chengye could speak, Jia Zheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't blame him. I was afraid that he would delay your official duties, so I told him not to go in and report."
Sun Shaozong was just putting on a show, but after hearing what Jia Zheng said, he brushed it off and asked curiously, "How come you have time today to visit my criminal justice department? Is there something you want me to do? "
“This…”
When Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, Sun Shaozong immediately realized that Jia Zheng had something to hide, so he hurriedly told Sun Chengye to go back home first and locked the door. Then he returned to Jia Zheng and bowed, saying, "Uncle, please tell me what you want me to say."
“It’s not really a serious matter.”
Seeing his serious look, Jia Zheng smiled bitterly, then sighed and said, "You saw what happened that day. I just wanted to teach that rebellious son a lesson, but I almost caused a big commotion."
"I was sick for several days after that, and then I finally figured it out. I can't teach or control this rebellious child anyway, so I might as well just turn away from him so I won't be bothered by him."
"What Uncle Shi meant was..."
"I plan to find a job and go out to have some peace and quiet for two years."
It seems like this is the case. Sun Shaozong was so worried just now, fearing that he was here to intercede for some serious criminal. However, if he wanted to be sent to a distant place, he should have asked the virtuous concubine in the palace for help, but why did he find him?
Just as he was wondering, Jia Zheng said, "Although I have made up my mind to go out and hide for two years, I am still worried about my rebellious son, so I have no choice but to come to your house shamelessly and ask you to take good care of him after I leave the capital, and don't let him get into trouble with those bad friends."
This is still the wrong person. If you want to control Jia Baoyu, you should ask Lin Daiyu to do it - although Sun Shaozong has some prestige, he is an outsider after all, and it is not easy for him to teach Jia Baoyu in person all day long.
However, since Jia Zheng had come all the way to talk about this matter, Sun Shaozong could not refuse, so he had to reluctantly say: "Uncle, rest assured, even if you didn't come to your house today, I would definitely do my best."
"That's good, that's good!"
Jia Zheng found Sun Shaozong's behavior more and more appealing. He thought that if his eldest son Jia Zhu were still alive, he might be as smart and capable as him. He couldn't help but ask, "My dear nephew, I heard that you have a good relationship with Wenlong [Xue Pan's courtesy name is Wenlong]. Have you ever met my niece?"
Niece?
Isn’t it Xue Baochai?
Why are you bringing her up again out of the blue?
But Jia Zheng continued , "This girl has a very good temper and appearance, and she is born with a noble air. It was fine originally, but now Wenlong has inherited the title and obtained an official position, and has her father-in-law, Shangshu Wang, to look after her. She is a perfect match for my nephew..."
It turns out that he wants to match me up with Xue Baochai!
It is reasonable and proper for this uncle to act as a matchmaker for his niece, but has he ever thought about why Xue Baochai does not go home but lives in Rongguo Mansion all day long?
"What then..."
Sun Shaozong interrupted Jia Zheng awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "Uncle, before you came here, did you ask what the Xue family's sister thought, or did you mention this matter to the Xue family's aunt?"
"Not really."
Jia Zheng said frankly, "I just had this idea, but you are such an outstanding talent, and you are on good terms with Wenlong. I don't think the Xue family will refuse such a marriage."
Hehe~
If Jia Baoyu hadn't been around, this marriage might have had some prospects, but Mrs. Wang was obviously treating Xue Baochai as her daughter-in-law - although Sun Shaozong didn't know who would have the last laugh between Sister Lin and Sister Xue, he had never thought of getting involved in this mess.
Especially since Jia Zheng was still too enthusiastic, what if he agreed, but was rejected by the Xue family later, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
But Jia Zheng also had good intentions, so it was inconvenient to refuse directly. So Sun Shaozong had to use the method of delaying and said with a smile: "Uncle, this marriage matter must be reported to my eldest brother before making a decision. Besides, my aunt loves the sister of the Xue family like a treasure, so you should ask her opinion first."
Jia Zheng was not a fool after all. After hearing the latter part, he frowned as if he had realized something and mumbled something, as if he was chewing on the word "Lin".
After a long while, he stood up and apologized, "I am sorry for being so presumptuous. I will go back and ask around, and then I can talk to your brother about this matter."
Huh?
From what he said, it seems like he hasn't given up on matchmaking yet!
So he respectfully escorted Jia Zheng out of the mansion, and Sun Shaozong began to have doubts in his heart.
If Jia Zheng could really convince Lady Wang and Aunt Xue to marry Xue Baochai to him, should he agree or refuse?
It is said that Xue Baochai is superior to You Erjie in terms of color, figure, and temperament, but she is also weak and boneless. However, when it comes to bed...
Thinking about all these things, Sun Shaozong let his horse run freely all the way back to the mansion.
As soon as he dismounted from his horse, Zhao Zhongji came up to him and said nervously, "Second Master, I don't know why the master is angry. He is waiting in the study now. He told you to go see him as soon as you come back."
Is the cheap brother angry?
Ever since Jia Yingchun became pregnant, he was so happy that his jaw was dislocated with laughter. He kept making noises all day long and wished he could immediately hold a grand banquet to announce to the world that he, too, had a son.
Why am I suddenly angry again?
After all, no matter who his cheap elder brother was angry with, he would not take his anger out on him, so Sun Shaozong went to the study without hesitation, pushed the door open and walked in.
"big……"
Who would have thought that before he could even finish calling out "big brother", he froze on the spot.
It turned out that in the study, a tall and strong woman was kneeling on the ground naked with several whips tied behind her back. Who else could it be but the head maid Siqi?
