Chapter 88: Who Said He Must Solve the Case If a Person Dies?

Great~

It seems that they would be unable to see the wet bride.

"Brother Lian, please wait in the carriage. I'll go and have a look."

Sun Shaozong said as he took the oil paper umbrella from the hook and jumped out of the carriage. He was waiting to go forward to investigate.

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage opposite was lifted, and two strong men in coir raincoats, holding long swords came out of it. They then dragged out a crying little woman.

That woman was a beauty, especially at this time when she was crying, she could make people love her helplessly upon seeing her!

Jia Lian had been hiding in the carriage, but when he saw the woman, he was more courageous. He stuck out his head and shouted boldly, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We'll come to save you!"

It's a shame that he has the face to say "we.”

Besides…

Sun Shaozong has no intention of saving at all!

Instead, he arched his hand and said politely, "I’m Sun Shaozong, the Cavalry Deputy Lieutenant of the Dragon Guards in the State of Zuo. I wonder if you both are on a business trip. If you are on a business trip, please show me your identity pendant and seal to avoid any misunderstanding."

The two men had listened to Jia Lian's call and were on guard. At this time, hearing Sun Shaozong's self-report, they hurriedly put the long sword back in the scabbard and bowed with their fists, "Greetings to the Cavalry Lieutenant, I’m Shen Lian [Jin Yichuan], the leader of Royal Guards."

With these words, he quickly took out his identity pendant and threw it to Sun Shaozong for examination.

However, Sun Shaozong had already seen the unique official clothes of the Dragon Guards under their coir raincoats. In this Capital, only a few people dare to impersonate the Dragon Guards to kill people in the street.

Seeing that the identity pendant was not forged, Sun Shaozong threw it back to the two men and asked them casually, "May I know what crime this woman committed?"

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan looked at each other. It was said that all the work of all the Dragon Guards was Imperial business and should not be disclosed to outsiders. However, considering that Sun Shaozong was a real boss and that he was currently in the limelight, they could not afford to offend.

So Shen Lian had to reply vaguely, "This woman's husband's family is involved in a rebel case."

Rebel case?

Sun Shaozong was trying to figure out what the case was and heard Jia Lian say happily, "In this case, won't this woman be sent to the institution to train musicians and singers in the future? Please inform me at the Rongguo Mansion at that time. I will be very grateful!"

Damn!

He wanted to be a hero and save the beauty earlier on. But in a blink of an eye, he was thinking about going to whore again!

Sun Shaozong had nothing to say about this Second Master Lian.

He hurriedly jumped onto the cart shaft, arched his hands at Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan, and said, "The two brothers are on business, so I won't bother you guys further, but according to the rules, I'll send someone to the town government's office tomorrow to check. Please don't mind."

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan quickly replied that they dare not.

Only then did Bao Er raise his whip and leave with Jia Lian, who was reluctant to part ways.

Even after their carriage had gone far, Jia Lian was still admiring the young woman's beauty and doubting whether the Dragon Guards would "fill their pockets" and have a taste of the young woman first.

Why need to say first? She’s already a married woman.

Sun Shaozong could not bear to hear this, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Brother Lian, it seems that you haven't heard of any major cases of treason recently. Have you heard anything?"

Sun Shaozong was naturally quite clear about ordinary criminal cases, but when it comes to treachery, the information about the Rongguo Mansion was more informed.

Jia Lian pursed his lips and pondered for a while before he was sure, "Maybe he was implicated in the case of Prince Yizhong."

"Prince Yizhong? Wasn't he banned a year ago?"

"It's forbidden, but I heard that Prince Yizhong is very hard-spoken, and he hasn't confessed his accomplices so far." Jia Lian said in a low voice, "If it weren't for the protection of the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty would have served him with heavy punishment. Just watch and see, when the Supreme Emperor goes to heaven, this case will inevitably involve a large number of people!"

Just then, they heard the crackling of firecrackers in front of them.

How could they still fire a firefight in such heavy rain?

Sun Shaozong and Jia Lian hurriedly picked up the carriage curtain and saw a big red tent set up outside the Feng family’s Mansion not far away. The firecrackers were set off in the tent.

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, they could see a team coming slowly from afar, all wearing coir raincoats and hats. If there weren’t white horses and red sedans in the middle, they could not see that it was a team from the wedding.

"Haha, Old Feng, being the bridegroom, is different!" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Let's go and meet him at the door."

With these words, he urged Bao Er to drive the carriage to the tent and then dragged Sun Shaozong into the crowd to greet Feng Xin.

However, right after Feng Xin reached the door of his mansion, he did not care about the rules. He hurried the horse into the tent and wiped the rain off his face with his sleeve. He said in a rough voice, "It's heavy rain today. I'm drenched even before my wedding!"

All the guests in front of the door laughed when they heard the words, but the two brothers in charge of the carriage behind them were unhappy. They both looked like scholars and did not like the vulgar style of Feng Xin. It was also common sense.

Seeing their faces, Feng Xin hurriedly restrained himself. He bowed with a smile on his face and asked the guests to make way for the sedan chair to enter.

The crowd forced him to say some auspicious words, and the women who were good at words stepped forward and asked for a large amount of money. The guests blocked the door and spread out left and right.

When Feng Xin hurried his horse to the door, someone immediately presented a soft bow and three red arrows.

He stretched his bow, drew an arrow on the horse, and was about to shoot at the door of the sedan, but he suddenly caught sight of Sun Shaozong and Jia Lian. His hands trembled. The arrow went out askew, and it hit the nose of his brother-in-law from the Kong family!

Although the "killing evil" arrow had no arrows and was wrapped in a layer of a red velvet rope, it still hurt that his brother-in-law screamed in pain, and he almost turned over.

How would Feng Xin still care about this?

He hurried down from the saddle and ran to Sun and Jia. He bowed with a smile on his face and said, "Oh my God! How do I dare to ask the Second Master Lian and My Lord to wait outside?"

When Jia Lian saw the scene just now, he had already laughed and gasped. He covered his stomach while giggling. Naturally, he didn't care about him.

Sun Shaozong silently pointed to his brother-in-law and said, "If you don't go there and make amends, your brother-in-law is afraid to return with his sedan chair."

Feng Xin, however, turned his back on his brother-in-law and said carelessly, "With you two here, how will he turn over?"

He then shouted at the door, "Quan Fu, are you blind? Please invite Mr. Lian and Mr. Sun to the main guest table!"

He must have told him earlier. At the order, the housekeeper immediately brought two young men with umbrellas and greeted Sun and Jia. The two men behind him shouted hysterically, "The Second Master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion and the Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Sun of the Central Judicial Office have arrived!"

There was a sudden silence in front of Feng's Mansion, only the sound of the rain pouring down.

Sun Shaozong originally wanted to make a few polite remarks, but he could not say anything anymore when they looked at them with awe. He had to ask Bao Er and his coachman Zhang Cheng to hold the gift, and he entered the front door of Feng's Mansion without squinting.

When entering the door, Sun Shaozong unconsciously glanced back and saw that the eldest son of the Kong family was holding Feng Xin, and it seemed like he was happily trying to get information from Feng Xin about what they were doing there.

Tch!

The character of the literati is indeed…
