The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 299: Drunk and Heard the Ghostly Trace

Chapter 299: Drunk and Heard the Ghostly Trace

There were many weirdos in the aristocratic family, and as the Eldest Grandson of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong was even more obvious.

It was needless to say being greedy for beauty, lustful, and indulging in debauchery was a common problem among the younger generation of the Jia family. The Eldest Son has no authority over the Second Son, but he has a good point, which was the word filial piety!

Let us talk about the woman named Qin whom he previously married. It was said that she was a gorgeous and charming woman with an excellent temperament, and everyone in the family praised her.

If ordinary people had such a great woman, they would have treasured and protected her all day long.

Unfortunately, Jia Rong was a selfless person who gave Qin's filial piety to his father, Jia Zhen. The father and son somehow sucked it up, causing Qin to perish in just two years.

Now that the bones of Qin were not yet cold, Jia Rong married another woman, Hu, still showing that he was a filial so!'

It was said that every night, Hu was rushing. After accompanying Jia Rong, she has to go to Jia Zhens place. After accompanying Jia Zhen, he also has to coax Jia Rong. Thanks to the father and son being both old and weak, they were useless goods. Otherwise, if Hu were to conceive a child, she really wouldn't know how to judge seniority.

Such a figure attracted headlines, it was more than enough to talk about it regularly. So why did Xue Pane invite him to the banquet?

Wasnt this the toe of a toad that didnt bite and responded to people?

But then again...

Xue Pan's reputation didnt seem to be much better, especially since he just married Wang's daughter. Perhaps the two heroes cherish heroes, and the bastard loves mung beans?

Sun Shaozong was full of imagination, and everyone at the table saw him arrive. They were all busy getting up to greet him, and even Wei Ruolan was no exception.

Second Brother.

Erlang~

Brother Sun.

Lord Sun.

According to the distance of the relationship, there were all kinds of greetings.

After Sun Shaozong responded one by one, most people then met with Qiu Yunfei on the side again. Although he was in the Criminal Department and basically ran errands for Sun Shaozong, who would dare ignore the background of this small official outside?

Xue Pan looked at Sun Shaozong and greeted him with a smile on his face, saying, You are finally here! Feng Ziying, on the other hand, acted as if he had not seen him.

Sun Shaozong, however, didnt bother with their affairs but bowed to the crowd and sat at the top position on Xue Pan's right side.

In Sun Shaozong's view, the reason why these two people were hostile to each other was actually due to the deliberate guidance of their elders. If the several major military leaders stationed in the Capital had a close relationship in private, Emperor Guangde might not have been at ease.

After thinking through this section, Sun Shaozong naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to help the two of them turn their swords into jade.

But on this table, Xue Pan's left side was sitting in sequence with Jia Lian, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang; Sun Shaozong was surrounded by Qiu Yunfei, Jia Baoyu, Jiang Yuhan, Liu Xianglian, and others.

Of course, there were also a few beauties among the crowd, but Sun Shaozong repeatedly expressed his dislike for brothel women, so his surroundings were empty.

Almost as soon as he sat down, Liu Xianglian stood up and started asking him to punish himself with three cups of apology wine, and everyone around him also followed suit.

Sun Shaozong didnt refuse and he poured himself three cups of liquor. He raised the empty glass to everyone, and there was a burst of cheers all around.

Sun Shaozong then smiled and said, "Actually, this apology wine was a bit unfair. If Brother Xue's head boss had not suddenly died, I would have arrived long ago."

Xue Pan only knew that Sun Shaozong had gone to investigate a case, but he didn't know that the person who died was Chen Zhu, the Right Counselor of the Office of Transmission. At this moment, when Sun Shaozong mentioned it, he quickly opened his mouth to inquire about it.

Sun Shaozong gave a brief introduction to the general situation and finally said helplessly, "The thing pressed under the bed is probably the key evidence of this case.

Unfortunately, at that time, the Chen family was in a mess, and it took more than two hours before they realized to report the case. It might not be that easy to find out the truth.

After finishing speaking, he saw that everyone at the table had a strange expression, and the only one who was normal was Qiu Yunfei, who rushed over with him.

What's the matter?

Sun Shaozong was puzzled and said, "Are you familiar with Chen Bo?

Just now, his story was extremely brief and didnt deliberately create an eerie atmosphere. Therefore, after thinking about it, it was probably the only reason this incident caused a big reaction from everyone.

Who knew that Sun Shaozong had guessed wrong this time? He saw Xue Pan swallow his saliva and say in a sour voice, "Second Brother, Shouldnt... shouldnt it be that it was caused by a resentful ghost, right?

On the side, Jia Lian nodded with lingering fear and said, "Yes, if it's just this one thing, it can also be said that someone is pretending to be a ghost, but now two people are cursed

2 people are being cursed?

Sun Shaozong was stunned and quickly pursued, "Are you guys also discussing similar things just now?

Yes, we are.

Then, he heard Jiang Yuhan's interface and said, "I only heard from the nobleman of the Royal Mansion yesterday about a similar matter. Just now, I have just finished telling everyone, but unexpectedly, you brought another one with you.

As he spoke, he also briefly told Sun Shaozong the evil stories he had heard.

It turned out that half a month ago, the cousin of a Concubine of Prince Zhongshun suddenly went crazy for some reason. He either fell asleep all day or chased and attacked others with sharp weapons. After seeing many doctors, he couldn't improve his condition.

There was no choice, and his family had to tie him to the bed, relying solely on maids and servants to serve him. However, within a few days, he passed away in a daze.

It was later claimed that he was cursed by ghosts because he was too conceited in his day-to-day activities and unintentionally offended some experts.

Everyone has already heard it once, but at that time, it was only a bizarre talk. Now, when listening to something similar, they couldnt help but feel a bit chilly. The time now was far from the Ghost Festival, how could it be that there were curses one after another?

And those who were cursed were all officials and their families.

Others are just listening, but Jia Rong was the timid master. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and asked, "Lord Sun, they all say you can judge yang by day and yin by night. I wonder what preventive measures can be taken against this curse?

Although Sun Shaozong didn't look up to this guy, he couldn't show himself too clearly in front of so many relatives. So he shook his head and smiled. "This is just a random transmission from the people in the market, how can we take it seriously? Besides, this method of preventing curses has long been passed down by our ancestors.

Jia Rong was stunned at the words and inexplicably said, "What method is it? Why haven't I heard of it?

What else could it be?

Sun Shaozong smiled and said, "It's just being a good person and not doing bad things, and the sound of knocking on the door in the middle of the night shouldn't startle you. This ghost story is often fabricated out of thin air. As long as you don't have a guilty heart, what curse are you afraid of?

As he spoke, he raised his glass high and said, "Stop talking about this. Come on, everyone, let's drink a full glass first. Congratulations to Brother Xue on filling his official position.

Everyone responded with a loud response, so Jia Rong couldn't ask again, otherwise, wouldn't he appear to have done a lot of harm?

Afterward, as the banquet gradually deepened, everyone forgot about this episode. However, although Sun Shaozong didn't mention it, in his heart, he felt that it was no coincidence that these two events had happened one after another.

So when the scene ended, he went alone to find Jiang Yuhan, preparing to inquire about the identity of the cousin of the Concubine on that side to investigate the case together with Chen Bo.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked near Jiang Yuhan's carriage, he saw Jia Baoyu holding hands with him, saying goodbye to each other, and Jiang Yuhan's left hand even covered Jia Baoyu's face, gently caressing.
