Chapter 894: The Evil Man and the Bad Son Died
He said he wanted to go to the guest room of Rongguo Mansion alone, but it was late at night and he had just finished drinking. How could the servants in the mansion dare to let Sun Shaozong go alone?
As soon as Sun Shaozong stepped out of the courtyard where Rong Xi Tang was located, a fawning servant appeared beside him.
Sun Shaozong was not a pretentious person. He threw the lantern to him and ordered him to hold the lantern and lead the way.
I walked like this for a while, and saw a light blue shadow suddenly appeared in the tree-lined path not far ahead of the guest room.
The servant holding the lantern was startled and hurriedly raised the lantern to look for it, but the pale blue object suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"What is that?"
The servant swallowed and muttered to himself, then looked back at Sun Shaozong. He saw that there was no strange expression on Sun Shaozong's face, as if he had not noticed anything unusual just now.
He hesitated for a moment, thinking that he shouldn't make a fuss in front of the guests, so he pretended nothing had happened and continued to lead the way.
In fact, Sun Shaozong not only saw it, but also vaguely distinguished that the green shadow was actually a young woman in a skirt, and the so-called disappearance was just hiding in the bushes.
Although he was somewhat curious about the woman's behavior in the middle of the night, Sun Shaozong was a guest after all, and he was accompanied by a servant from the Rongguo Mansion, so it was naturally not appropriate for him to take the initiative to delve into the secrets of this mansion.
So I had to pretend not to see it.
Let's skip this little episode and say that when the two men arrived at the guest room, the servant originally wanted to help Sun Shaozong wash up, but in view of Jia Lian's confession just now, Sun Shaozong was at a sensitive moment, so how could he let a man get close to him?
He just asked for tea and sent him away.
Not long after, Ping'er sent someone to deliver bedding. Sun Shaozong then locked the courtyard door and went to sleep in his clothes, still a little drunk.
…
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Sun Shaozong didn't know how long he had been asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a sound like banging on the door.
He lifted the quilt and walked a few steps to the window. He saw that the sky outside was still full of stars. It was obvious that it would still be a long time before dawn.
Why would people from Rongguo Mansion come and bang on the door in the middle of the night?
Could it be that something went wrong at home, so someone was sent over to deliver the message overnight...
Sun Shaozong was startled and hurriedly pulled his coat from the rack, pushed the door open in his boots, and walked out of the courtyard. He was still in the middle of the yard, so he asked loudly, "Who's outside? Why are you banging on the door in the middle of the night? What happened?!"
The banging on the door finally stopped, and then someone outside could be heard saying anxiously, "Master Sun! I... our Third Master is gone, Master Zheng, please go over and take a look!"
It turned out that something happened in this mansion.
Sun Shaozong felt relieved , but was shocked again in a moment. The 'Third Master' in this family seemed to be Jia Baoyu's half-brother Jia Huan, right?
Is Jia Huan dead?
How did he die?
It's an emergency...
Or died a violent death?!
Seeing that Jia Zheng is in a hurry to find , I'm afraid the latter possibility is more likely.
Who was the murderer who killed Jia Huan?
Jia Baoyu?
At the beginning, Aunt Zhao secretly killed Jia Baoyu and almost caused his death. This was enough to say that she had a motive.
But judging from his character and timing, Jia Baoyu should not take the initiative to kill Jia Huan.
If it was manslaughter, maybe there was still a possibility...
His mind was working quickly, and Sun Shaozong did not stop his hands and feet. He opened the bolt without asking any questions and ordered the old servant who broke the door to lead the way.
He originally thought that he was going to either Jia Zheng's residence or Jia Huan's, but unexpectedly, the old servant led him in the opposite direction.
After walking about two hundred steps, I saw light and shadows in a bamboo forest ahead. When I got closer, I heard a woman's shrill cries.
The only person who could cry like this for Jia Huan was naturally his biological mother, Aunt Zhao.
But this bamboo forest...
A green shadow suddenly flashed through Sun Shaozong's mind - it seemed that when he saw the woman, she was near this bamboo forest. Considering her hiding behavior at that time, could it be that he had passed by the murderer before?
"My dear nephew!"
Just as he was pondering this possibility, several figures came hurriedly along the path in the middle of the bamboo forest, and the person leading the way was Jia Zheng.
When he got closer, he was about to say something when he heard a sharp scream from the bamboo forest: "You little beast, I want you to pay for Huan'er's life!"
Then there was another round of noise:
"Quick, quick, stop Aunt Zhao!"
"Second Master! Second Master, be careful!"
"what you do!"
"Love brother!"
The last exclamation clearly came from Shi Xiangyun's mouth - because when she was anxious, she would always call her second brother "Ai Gege".
Since even she has arrived, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun and others must be in the bamboo forest at this time.
Hearing these noises, Jia Zheng's expression froze, and he smiled bitterly at Sun Shaozong and said, "Erlang, let's... let's go in and talk."
Perhaps it was because he was still hungover or because he had just suffered a blow, but when he turned around, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Sun Shaozong hurried forward to add some water and whispered, "Uncle, please accept my condolences. This whole family is still waiting for you to make the decision."
Jia Zheng shook his head, but said nothing. He just gently broke away from Sun Shaozong's support, gritted his teeth, stared, and walked step by step into the depths of the bamboo forest.
After walking about thirty steps further, they saw two groups of people clearly forming a circle. One group was led by Aunt Zhao, who was crying and cursing, and the other group was surrounding the distraught Jia Baoyu.
Not only are the numbers of the two sides incomparable, but in terms of appearance, Aunt Zhao is also badly defeated.
"Just shut up!"
When he got closer, he saw that Aunt Zhao was still not giving in. She was being held by two sturdy maids, kicking at him in the air with her embroidered shoes and cursing him all the while. Jia Zheng finally exploded.
He rushed to the nearest place in a few steps, shouted angrily, then raised his hand to slap Aunt Zhao in the face.
But seeing her crying so hard, and looking at the body lying on the ground not far away, Jia Zheng finally couldn't bring himself to do it. He comforted her instead, saying, "Don't worry, I've asked Sun's second son to come over, and he will definitely be able to investigate..."
"No! We can't let him check! "
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao heard this and screamed again: "He and Baoyu are in the same nest, she will definitely favor him!"
Pah~
Before she finished speaking, Jia Zheng could no longer resist and slapped her in the face. Then, regardless of Aunt Zhao's reaction, he turned back to Sun Shaozong and said, "This fool woman is talking nonsense. I hope Erlang will not take it as an offense."
"Uncle, you don't have to do this."
Sun Shaozong waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind, and asked Xiren for a lantern. He shone it on the stone road in the middle, and saw Jia Huan, wrapped in a shiny black mink coat, lying on his back on the ground with his eyes wide open.
And right in the middle of his throat, a bright golden hairpin was swaying gently in the night breeze.
