If Carpenter Zhang were nearby, that was fine. He could let Shen Dan issue a “warrant” and take the guards to catch the suspect.
But since he was hired by the Jia family, Sun Shaozong should go and inform them first, for whatever reason, so as not to fall into the trap of being arrogant and not caring about their relationship.
So he immediately ordered the guards to divide into two routes, one led by Shen Dan and Zhou Da, to search for evidence at Carpenter Zhang's home. Another route, personally led by him to the Rongguo Mansion to arrest “Carpenter Zhang.”
There was no conversation along the way.
After arriving outside the Rongguo Mansion, before Sun Shaozong came down on his horse, two men had already greeted him courteously. They congratulated him, as they had heard about the “Royal gift of bullfighting clothes.”
Although he wondered why the Jia family got the news from the Palace so soon, where did Sun Shaozong have the leisure to inquire about this at this time?
So he took seven or eight silver taels from his arms, threw them to the two men, and then asked, "Is Brother Lian in the house now? I have a public case right now, and I want to discuss it with him!"
If someone else took a few Yamen servants and said that they wanted to discuss a “public case,” the two gatekeepers would have to put on the stance of being the servants of the rich and carefully check the situation first.
But Sun Shaozong was now famous and had a deep relationship with their young second master and the old second master of the mansion. The two men didn’t dare inquire about anything at random. They only led him to the West Wing living room, and at the same time, they got someone to find Jia Lian.
Recently, because Wang Xifeng presided over the construction of the yard for paying a visit, she was busy all day long, leaving Jia Lian with some "freedom.”
—Dividing Line—
He coaxed and deceived his second wife, Bao, into the study on this day. It only took him a moment and he had already removed everything on her. Seeing that, although her appearance and figure were inferior to those of Wang Xifeng, she had a different charm of delicate coquetry, he became more and more uncontrollable.
For a moment, he couldn’t wait until he brought her second wife into the inner room. He directly laid her horizontally on the desk, pulled several books of the “Analects of Confucius” and the “Book of Rites,” and lifted her hips which were white as powder and smooth as beads up, waiting to follow the teachings of Confucius and have a fierce battle on "The desire for food and sex.”
"Second Master, Second Master!"
At this time, Xing'er, who was guarding outside, suddenly shouted, and Jia Lian trembled with fear. The “tip” of him almost folded on the buttocks of his second wife, Bao.
But he didn't dare to cry out in pain, he just wrapped his clothes around his body, and asked in a panic, "What’s wrong? Is your Young Second Madam here?"
"That's not it."
Xing'er answered outside, "Someone just sent a message saying that the Second Master of the Sun Family came and was asking for you."
Hearing this, Jia Lian was relieved. He turned around and looked at his second wife, Bao, who covered herself with her skirt and top, which gave off the beauty of spring. There was another burst of desire in his lower abdomen.
Thus, he grabbed her skirt and top, threw them on the ground regardless, and said, "Erlang is not an outsider. Just say I have something important here and can't leave. Let him wait a moment!"
While talking, he had already gone on it, pushing her hips close to his crotch.
"Second Master."
However, Xing'er shouted again, "I'm afraid it's impossible! According to the gatekeeper, the Second Master of the Sun family brought several Yamen servants and said that there was an important public case. Look..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the dissolute sound from her, and the screams had “thrown” his words far away into the clouds.
Xing'er anxiously stamped his feet outside, but he knew that Jia Lian was in the mood of desire and might not be able to get away for a moment, so he had to call Long'er to guard the place, and then he went straight to the front hall to find Sun Shaozong.
Arriving at the front hall, he saw Sun Shaozong sitting there in a bright yellow suit. He seemed a little angry and self-threatening. Xing’er restrained his usual casualness and came forward respectfully and said, "Second Master Sun, our master can't get away for a moment because of some important things, so he ordered me to come and explain and let you wait here for a moment."
It was alright for Sun Shaozong to wait if there was no big business, but the Jia family was full of people. If “Carpenter Zhang” heard the news and ran away, it would be big trouble.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong said, "Please go and report again, just say that one of the carpenters hired by his family is suspected of killing and dismembering bodies, and I'm anxious to catch him. It can't be delayed. If Second Brother Lian really can't get away, please ask him to send a message and let the stewards of the family cooperate."
As soon as Xing'er heard the word "kill and dismembering,” his hair stood up. How would he dare continue to speak nonsense here?
He hurried and ran towards Jia Lian's inner study.
Who knew, as soon as he broke into the backyard along the lane, he heard someone scolded, "Xing'er, are you blind?! How dare you rush like this in front of the Young Second Madam!"
Xing'er hurriedly stopped, looked over to the source of the sound, followed the prestige, and saw Ping'er, Jia Lian's favorite concubine, not far away, staring at himself with her thin waist forked and with a pair of hostile eyes. She was surrounded by a dozen servant girls and nannies behind her. It was his Young Second Madam, Wang Xifeng.
Bitter!
Looking at Wang Xifeng's pretty face with evil, Xing'er's two legs suddenly softened, and he almost had to kneel directly and spit out everything.
Fortunately, he was also quick-witted. With only a moment of pause, he thought of a way to cover up.
So he hurriedly put on a happy face, bowed down, and said, "Sister Ping, the Second Master of the Sun family, has just arrived at the mansion. He said that there was a demon who killed and dismembered corpses in the carpenters we hired! I was about to report to the Young Second Master, but I happened to meet..."
"What?!"
Ping'er was startled, even Wang Xifeng's face changed color, so she hurried forward and asked, "Is there such a matter?!"
Seeing that her attention was completely attracted by this matter, Xing'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he added, "Return to the Young Second Madam. The Second Master Sun is in a bullfighting suit, and he has brought a few wolf-like guards with him. I don't think it will be false!"
Wang Xifeng asked casually. In fact, when she heard the words "Sun Erlang,” she had already believed fully in her heart.
When she thought of how a murderer had sneaked into her home, she was afraid and angry. She couldn't help stamping and cursing, "This Qin who attracts misfortune, I kindly gave him the job. How could he cause such a disaster?!"
With that, she gave a swift and resolute order, "Go and find Steward Zhou and ask him to accompany Sun Erlang to the backyard to catch the murderer. If Erlang has any orders, just do it!"
Xing'er took the order and went away like another gust of wind.
However, Wang Xifeng complained to Ping'er again, but an idea suddenly came into her mind. Recently, she had heard about Sun Shaozong's wisdom in solving strange cases. Now, these “Legendary stories” happened in her own yard. If she didn’t go and have a look with her own eyes, wouldn't it be a pity?
Thinking like this, Wang Xifeng ordered, "Go and invite the Big Madam and say that I have some rare things here and want to share them with her!"
