Detective in the Red Chamber

All the way in silence, when he saw the vicinity of the second gate and was about to separate from the left and right, Li Wenshan finally couldn't bear his temper, leaned sideways and cupped his hands and said, "Master Sun, you and I really want to do nothing about this matter?"

"How else?"

Sun Shaozong was surprised and said, "Could it be possible to use your and my family assets to offset the deficit of the Yamen?"

"Of course it won't work!"

Li Wenshan immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said, "If you really want to use the family property to make up the shortfall, it will not be your turn, Mr. Sun."

This is natural, after all, when the deficit fell, Sun Shaozong was still fighting the rebellion in Huguang.

If you want to talk about the origin of this deficit, it is really speechless.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, Shichahai was besieged as usual. Dali Temple is an excellent viewing spot. Although ordinary people cannot enter, relatives and old friends of officials in the temple can come and go without hindrance.

Therefore, the area along the lake of Zuo Temple was also crowded with hundreds of people.

There is a saying that "there are more than one hundred people, all kinds of sex", and I don't know that it is the one who has a lot of troubles. In order to seize the position, he even lied that there was water in the yamen.

As a result, the incident became serious, causing hundreds of people to flee in a radial direction, three of them were trampled to death on the spot, and five were seriously injured.

Dali Temple was naturally disgraced, and because one of the deceased had some background, it finally paid out a full 300 taels of silver.

After this lawsuit, the small treasury accumulated by Dali Temple over the years was wiped out, not to mention, it was almost impossible to even pay the salary.

Helpless, Wei Yi had no choice but to embezzle the payment for the goods that was to be settled in the first half of the year, so that he managed to avoid arrears of salary.

But that payment can't always be owed.

Therefore, Wei Yi tried his best to find an excuse, hoping to approve some money to make up for the shortfall.

Who would have thought that at this juncture, the Ministry of Households suddenly tightened its money supply and put that sum of money on hold again.

The book is back to normal.

But Li Wenshan answered Sun Shaozong's ridicule seriously, and said, "If Li Mou came forward, he might be able to slow down those businessmen for a while, but if the Ministry of Households refuses to allocate funds, this matter will still cause trouble sooner or later."

As he said that, he solemnly bowed his hands to Sun Shaozong, "At any rate, he is also an official in the same government office. Can Mr. Sun think of a way with the household department? At that time, we will work together and we will be able to calm things down."

To be honest, if Sun Shaozong was willing to come forward, the matter of 2000 taels would not be difficult.

But in his opinion, this matter is not only a trouble, but a rare opportunity!

When this matter broke out, Wei Yi and Li Wenshan would find it difficult to refute the matter in the name of 'be brave when you know your shame'.

Of course, in front of Li Wenshan, he definitely couldn't tell the truth.

Moreover, he had to think of a reason to make this Li Wenshan give up meddling in this matter.

After thinking about it, Sun Shaozong said seriously, "Brother Li, why do you think His Majesty transferred me to Dali Temple?"

Li Wenshan was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little inexplicable at what he said.

The emperor arranged for Sun Shaozong to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, naturally hoping that he would make some achievements in Dali Temple by relying on his ability to solve cases.

Besides, is there any other reason?

Li Wenshan was suspicious, and was about to ask what happened, but he saw Sun Shaozong cupped his hands in a sassy way, turned around and walked away.

Why did this just go away?

Li Wenshan opened his mouth, but he still didn't ask anything, but the suspicion in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

perhaps……

What special mission does he really have?

That being said, it's better not to act rashly for now, let's see how he responds.

Chapter 668 Has a Female Golden Branch 【Third】

After coaxing Li Wenshan with words, Sun Shaozong returned to the Zuosi official office, first dealt with some trivial matters reported in the newspaper, and then began to study Wei Ruolan's case files carefully.

It is said that it is not easy to get it on paper, but this case has been dragged on for two years, and it has gone through three trials many times. Not to mention that many evidences have long been untestable, and even the case file has many inconsistencies. place.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Shaozong had to clarify his thinking before he went up to ask questions.

To be honest, this case is basically dead without evidence. According to the current situation, although Wei Ruolan is somewhat unfavorable, it is not impossible to help him exonerate him.

But after all, this was the first case he interrogated after he was promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Even if he couldn't produce ironclad evidence, he still had to look like it, right?

Hey~

Back then, if he knew that this case would still fall into his hands in the end, he should really investigate secretly first.

Just as he was regretting, he suddenly heard a report from someone outside, saying that Qiu Yunfei sent someone to send a letter.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked someone to submit the letter, and took a rough look at the ten lines at a glance.

tsk~

Sure enough, it is not good news.

According to Sun Shaozong's order, Qiu Yunfei intended to get Ge Zhizhong to hand over the case to Dali Temple. Anyway, he had already handed in the case before, so it's not too late to do it again.

But when Ge Zhizhong heard that the case was complicated, he did make up his mind to report it to Dali Temple.

However, when Xiu Mu came back yesterday, he immediately changed his mind. Instead of refusing to report it, he pushed the case back to Daxing County under the pretext that the criminal justice department must do his best to ensure the Wanshou Festival.

And Qiu Yunfei was also assigned a bunch of messy errands, and it was difficult for him to get away from it for the time being.

The only good news in the letter was that Wang Qian had no time for others, temporarily suppressed Zhang An's case, and never reported the sentence.

After reading it, Sun Shaozong pressed the letter under the paperweight, wondering if it was Yang Anbang, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who made the move, or someone else put pressure on Ge Zhizhong.

Suddenly another official reported that it was the young master who lived in Tongde who came to see him.

After inquiring about it casually, it turned out to be one of the several merchants that caused trouble yesterday.

Sun Shaozong was immediately annoyed, this Dali Temple is not a kiln, and his Zuo Shaoqing is not a bustard, so how can a cat or a dog see it whenever he wants?

Immediately, he scolded the little official who came to report, and ordered him to drive him away politely, so he didn't pay any attention to the matter.

Since then, it has been calm until Xiangwu.

There was a commotion outside again, as if some troublesome person came in, dozens of people shouted and shouted in the yard, but they couldn't suppress it.

Sun Shaozong was upset, he threw his pen and came out, but he saw a man like a black iron tower, clashing in the yard, although he didn't dare to hurt anyone, he disturbed everyone around him.

Sun Shaozong shouted loudly on the steps, "Who are you? How dare you come to my Dali Temple to make trouble?!"

The man suddenly knelt down and kowtowed like garlic, "Don't dare to lie to Mr. Sun, the villain is a clerk of Tongdetang, because there is no way out for those who are in arrears in the store, so he risked his life to come in to see Mr. - Please!" Please be merciful, my lord, save us Tongdetang!"

The method of settlement every six months has already suppressed a lot of costs, and now it has been extended for another three months, so it is common sense that the turnover cannot be opened.

And for this big black man to break into Dali Temple and make trouble for his master, he can be regarded as a loyal servant.

Therefore, most of Sun Shaozong's annoyance disappeared first.

It's just this matter, how can they find him?

He stood with his hands behind his back on the steps, and said without anger, "Since you know the identity of this official, you should know that I just took office recently. I have neither had a hand in your family's affairs, nor do I know the inside story. But how can you be the master?"

Hearing this, the man bumped the stone slabs again, and said anxiously, "The villain knows that you are Lord Qingtian. Unlike those stupid officials, you must be... definitely able to give our common people a way to survive!"

Hey~

It's really a reputation.

Sun Shaozong sighed secretly, but he was not a bit complacent, so he spoke softly, "I don't know anything about this matter right now, and it's really hard to make a decision—how about this, you go back first Wait, when the official asks about the cause and effect, he will order the relevant people to solve it."

"This……"

The man hesitated for a moment, and Sun Shaozong immediately darkened his face again, "What? I won't punish you for trespassing, yet you still want to stay here?!"

After all the soft and hard things were applied, the big black man finally couldn't hold back, and followed the guards obediently and retreated out.

Immediately, the secretary on duty stepped forward and repeatedly accused him of being 'negligent'.

Sun Shaozong didn't give him a good face, and said with a sneer, "Since you are here, I won't have to summon someone to appease Tongdetang. I will leave it to your Department of Affairs. If someone finds me again, Don't blame me for being merciless!"

Saying that, without waiting for the secretary to explain, he went into the inner room on his own.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in the inner room, someone hurriedly rushed into the outer hall.

Just as Sun Shaozong was about to explode, he heard the man outside ask, "Second brother, where is the villain who broke in? Please leave it to me to deal with it!"

But it turned out that Liu Xianglian rushed over after hearing the news.

…………

After such a tumultuous stay until the time to go to the Yamen, Sun Shaozong carefully sorted out the case, feeling very depressed.

Left and right didn't go the same way as Liu Xianglian, so he didn't bother to go to the archives to look for him, so he went out of the east corner gate, ready to leave by car.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the front of the car, a big black man jumped out and came directly to slip and kneel.

"why is it you again?"

Sun Shaozong frowned immediately, the Siwu Office must have been ordered by him to appease Tongdetang, but it is estimated that the action will not be so fast.

Presumably the master of this guy couldn't wait, so he sent him to beg again.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong said, "I have already ordered the relevant people to wait and deal with the matter. Go back and let your boss wait for a day or two—if you dare to send someone to act recklessly, I will punish you together with him!"

Unexpectedly, the big black man muttered, "My lord, our boss can't wait, really can't wait!"

After speaking, he turned around and pointed to the car beside him, and said, "If you don't believe me, you might as well ask our young master yourself."

Young master?

It turned out that this fellow was also waiting outside.

It's just that he is a mere merchant, but how dare he hide in the car?

Sun Shaozong was puzzled when he saw the carriage kicking forward a few steps, and then the door curtain was raised, revealing first a bumpy figure, then a stunning face, and finally a yellow oriole coming out of the valley voice

"Li Jinzhi from Tongdetang, I have paid my respects to Mr. Sun."

No wonder I didn't get out of the car to greet her, but it turns out that the young owner of Tongdetang is a young woman!

only……

Why does this woman look familiar?

Chapter 669 The Immortal Dance

This woman did look familiar.

It's just that Sun Shaozong thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

Ordinarily it shouldn't be.

Sun Shaozong's memory has always been good, not to mention that the other party is still a stunning young man?

Ok……

Maybe I just glanced at her in the crowd.

Thinking in his heart, Li Jinzhi had already got out of the carriage, moved forward a few steps like a willow in the wind, and said a blessing in tears, "Please forgive me, our Tongdetang has a small profit, and it is really supportive." Can't stop!"

"My dad got a headache when he got back yesterday, and he fell on the bed in a daze. He didn't even recognize my mother, but he was still thinking about the life-saving money!"

"If it weren't for this, how would the little girl dare to show her face again and again?"

While speaking, the tears could not stop falling.

tsk~

Of course I feel sorry for the beauty crying, but the problem is that Sun Shaozong doesn't want to get involved in this matter at all!

It's unlucky, how come both the master and the servant recognize him?

If it's a man, it's better to pass it off.

But for a young girl who cried like tears in the street, Sun Shaozong couldn't force her to leave after all.

I had no choice but to persuade her with nice words, "Girl, you don't need to be like this. I have ordered the Department of General Affairs to give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible. I think it will take two or three days at most..."

"grown ups!"

Li Jinzhi interrupted him suddenly, and said sadly, "Little girl really can't trust others, if it weren't for the corrupt officials of Dali Temple blindly blackmailing and intimidating, how could my family end up in such a mess?!"

Huh?
