The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 82 Death list

Sun Shaozong enlightened Xue Pan, and when he came out of the Rongguo Mansion, it was Shen Moyouchu [6 pm].

He got on the carriage, leaned on the pillow, squinted and woke up for a while. He suddenly remembered that there were still a few’Liu Bei’ in his sleeve, so he took it out and looked through it. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t find the well-illustrated “Liu Bei”. Strange Case Tan.

Could it be where Xue Pan fell?

Seeing that he hadn’t walked far, Sun Shaozong had the intention to turn back, but he thought about it again. He just pretended to be a life mentor for a long time, and turned his face to ask for ‘Liu Bei’ again…

This also affects the image, right? !

So he dispelled the idea and decided that even if Xue Pan sent him to the door afterwards, he would never admit it.

But the most classic one is missing, and the other flips look a little dull. After all, Sun Shaozong has also been nurtured in the Internet age, ordinary and shoddy things, which can’t come into his eyes.

So he simply threw the script into the corner of the corner, and closed his eyes again.

No words all the way.

About half an hour, seeing that the front is not far from the Sun’s mansion, the coachman chose a corner of the back, carefully restrained the rein, and reported back: “Second Lord, we are almost in our mansion, you see…”

Sun Shaozong immediately picked up the curtain and lowered the carriage, looked at no one on the left and right, trot a few steps, stretched out his hand on the outer wall of Sun’s mansion, and easily turned inside.

After the coachman waited for him to climb over the wall, he did not rush to raise the curtain with a hook, exposing the empty carriage to the public, and then drove the carriage to the gate of Sun’s residence.

When I got closer, I saw two stone lions with six-sided parasols erected on the left and right. Under the umbrellas, there could be forty or fifty people, including men, women and children, rich and poor, rich and poor. I watched the carriage approaching, suddenly swarming. Surrounded.

“I’m wronged, sir, wronged!”

“Master, my six-generation single pass, just such a son!”

“Master, please, my grandfather didn’t mean to kill people!”

“If my grandson dies, I won’t live anymore!”

“Daddy, I want dad, I want dad!”

Men shouting, women screaming, old crying, and young screaming, are like setting up a stage on the street and sing to make a noise in the heavens!

The coachman didn’t panic, he turned his body slightly to the side and let out the empty carriage behind, and shouted: “Everyone, everybody, let me give in! Hey! There is no one in this car, even if you stop. It’s useless to download, isn’t it!”

just like that, it took him a full quarter of an hour to return to the house with all his beards and tails.

Not to mention how the coachman unloaded his horse to feed.

But he said that after Sun Shaozong stepped over the wall and entered, he walked to the front yard by the lotus pond to clean his hands. After washing, he was about to pull two lotus leaves as paper, and someone behind him handed him a veil.

Sun Shaozong glanced back, but Zhao Zhongji, the second housekeeper in the house, wiped his hands and asked casually: “How are you today? How many fainted?”

“I fainted over one or seventy old ladies. They were not hot. They were so sad that they couldn’t catch their breath for a while. Doctor Liu went up and got two needles and woke up at that time.”

As Zhao Zhongji said, he couldn’t help saying: “If you want me to say, that is, Erye, you are righteous and righteous, the parasol is blocked, and the plum soup tube is enough, just their horrible life, then enjoy this? You have to rely on me, early The mess ran away!”

“The benevolence of fart!”

Sun Shaozong threw the veil back to him, and said angrily: “I presided over the Qiujue report for the first time. How many eyes are you staring up and down? If you are really confused, it’s your second master and I. Go to the street and call for injustice!”

Every feudal dynasty likes to pay attention to being a person who responds to the sky, and this is how the term “Autumn Judgment” came from.

The rough meaning is: spring and summer are the seasons for the growth of all things, and wanton killings are against God’s will. Therefore, if the crimes are committed in spring and summer, except for those who are extremely vicious and do not “should a decision” not enough to make civilians angry, they will generally stay. After the autumn, I will open the knife and ask to cut.

The Great Zhou Dynasty went a step further, taking into account the’Mid-Autumn Reunion’ and the’Nine-Nine Double Ninth Festival’, the date of the’Autumn Judgment’ was deliberately changed to the tenth day of September every year.

During the period from the beginning of autumn to the Double Ninth Festival, the prefectures and governments of various places will first list the list of autumn squads in advance, and submit them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval, so that the top ten killings can be carried out in early September.

In the past years, Zhizhong was responsible for reporting the list of autumn decisions in Shuntian Mansion, but Liu Chongshan was recently usurped by Sun Shaozong to seize power, and he was so angry that he had not been to the mansion for more than half a month.

So this matter fell on Sun Shaozong.

Those people outside are the families of the prisoners who were sentenced to be executed this year, and they cried in front of the gate of Sun’s mansion, just wanting Sun Shaozong to remove their relatives from this ‘death list’.

Although in accordance with the imperial law, the death row prisoners who are not on the “Autumn Judgment” list will still be executed at the end of the year if they cannot prove their innocence within three months.

But three months is enough for the rich and powerful to do something.

As for those who are poor, even though they have no money to do literary works-isn’t there a saying this year, called “Amnesty for the World”?

After these three months, you don’t have to die!

That’s why many people gathered outside the gate of Sun’s Mansion.

And this is another reason why Sun Shaozong always goes to Rongguo Mansion to escape the heat recently.

But he said that Sun Shaozong threw the handkerchief to Zhao Zhongji, and was about to go back to his yard and walked a few steps, but when he saw Zhao Zhongji following behind him step by step, he asked, “Why, what else?”

“Back to the second master, when the noon is ringing, Master Feng from Fengzui Alley sent a wedding invitation, inviting you and your uncle to go to his house for a wedding drink on the eighth day of next month.”

Feng Xin is getting married?

Sun Shaozong paused, and wondered: “Isn’t he already married? Is it because his father wants to continue?”

“Er Ye can really make a joke.”

Zhao Zhongji could not laugh or cry: “The second master of the Feng family has been paralyzed for more than half a year now. What can we do? Fang came forward to marry him a wife.”

Is there such a good thing? !

Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked: “Then the daughter-in-law who married this time, is she also considered a decent young grandmother?”

“of course!”

That’s really cheap!

You must know that to marry a concubine these days, you can only find it in the low-ranking civilians. Only by marrying a righteous wife can you look for an opportunity to find a helping hand in the officialdom. The master of Qi Fei.

“Do you know where he married him?”

“I heard that she is the daughter of the Confucian official of Taichang Temple, and she is also a small well-known talented woman.” Zhao Zhongji smiled and joked: “Look at the meaning of Feng’s house, 80% is to take the opportunity to change the family style.”

Officer Mu is only a ninth-ranked official, but after all, he is an official of Taichang Temple, and Feng Xin, who is now the captain of the sixth-ranked captain in the patrol camp, can barely be regarded as the right one.

So Sun Shaozong said again: “Then you go and help me draw up a list to see if there are any suitable gifts in our mansion. If not, I will find a way to exchange them from the outside.”

Zhao Zhongji took the order.

Sun Shaozong returned to the courtyard alone. Seeing that several maids were chatting outside, he scolded in dissatisfaction: “Why are they all outside? Where is the aunt?”

The maid Qiulian headed by 　　 hurriedly bowed and distinguished: “It was my aunt who said she wanted to be quiet, so…”

I heard that Ruan Rong wanted to be quiet, and Sun Shaozong was also unwilling to listen to what she said below. He stepped inside, only to see Ruan Rong biting his pen in a daze in front of the book, with a letter dripping in ink in front of him.

Sun Shaozong quietly leaned forward, bowed his head for a few moments of sadness, and suddenly understood, he put his hand around Ruan Rong’s fragrant shoulders, and said softly: “Why, homesick?”

Ruan Rong shook her head, but said in her mouth: “My mother’s death will be one month away, but I…”

no wonder.

“Then I will arrange someone to go to Qianxiang Country tomorrow.” Sun Shaozong said, seeing Ruan Rong shook his head again, and said hurriedly: “Not only for yourself, but Mrs. Niu also has a family letter to take away. go with.”

Immediately, he said softly: “When my official position is higher, I will ask for leave to accompany you back home, how about?”
