The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion-Chapter 371 - The Impoverished Family
When Sun Shaozong was reluctantly sent out by the mother and daughter of the You family, the sky was already full of stars outside.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel some shame in his heart. For a woman, he delayed the plan to personally send the ”Swordsman” to the Supreme Court, which was truly inappropriate.
Feeling remorseful, he untied the reins and rolled over to mount his horse without hesitation, heading straight to Jia Shanyao's house. It was too late to correct his mistake now, so it was better to just let it be.
When he arrived at Jia Shanyao’s mansion, he revealed his identity as the Thousands Household Dragon Guard Inspector to the gatekeeper. The other party naturally didn’t dare to neglect him and quickly led Sun Shaozong into the living room, then flew to the backyard to report.
Not long after, he saw Jia Shanyao rush into the living room in a disheveled attire. It was indeed Sun Shaozong in front of him, and he quickly knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings to Inspector Sun.”
Following, he humbly inquired, "I wonder if you have any commands coming here?”
“Get up first and speak.”
Sun Shaozong pulled him up from the ground and smiled. "How can I speak to the host when you are kneeling on the ground?”
After Jia Shanyao stood up in fear, he then said, "Actually, it's not a command; it's just a personal matter that I want you to handle.”
Private matters?
Jia Shanyao was overjoyed. He often said that a wife was not as good as a concubine, and a concubine was not... Well, ”ten public officials were not worth one private matter.” Only those who could handle private affairs for their superiors could be considered their own!
So he quickly knelt on one knee again and said in a clanging voice, "Despite your orders, I will do my best to fulfill my duties.”
“One, two, ha!”
At the beach, two sturdy men shouted slogans and threw a naked figure from the yacht. Seeing the man throwing someone into the water in a ”flat falling” style, he panicked and kicked his feet. They then crossed their waists and raised their heads at the bow of the boat, laughing recklessly.
The naked person who fell into the water struggled a few times and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his feet. His feet stabilized in the mud of the river, and he realized that the river was only three feet deep. It was only as deep as his chest.
A surge of confidence immediately passed through his legs. After being heated and flavored, it sprayed out of his mouth, "Damn it! I'm just a little unlucky, and you guys are treating me like this. When my luck turns around one day, I'll bring someone to overturn this bloody boat and make you all be the food of the turtle!”
Gambling on boats was not a unique novelty in later generations. In fact, there were underground gambling stalls long ago. To avoid government censorship, the gambling location was specially set on the ship.
And this man obviously lost his shirt and started making noise on the boat before being thrown into the water by the casino thugs.
When the two Chinese characters on the ship heard the drowning dog dared to bark, one of them picked up a bamboo pole and pretended to hit it on his head.
“Ouch~”
Before waiting to fight, the person in the water had already covered his head and fled towards the shore, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
As he walked out of the distance, he revealed his wilting autumn objects but still ran aimlessly without considering his buttocks. The two men on the boat couldn't help but laugh again.
“What the hell are you smiling at?!”
At this moment, a middle-aged Lady Qi suddenly flashed out of the cabin and screamed at them, "You two unscrupulous and naive bastards, why are you taking such a long time to punish an impoverished person? Don’t you hurry in and serve the guests?”
The two men suddenly lost their spine and quickly arched into it.
But instead, the woman arrived at the bow of the boat and glared at the naked ”drowning dog” with a piercing look. She exclaimed, “Young Master Zhang, don't forget to pay me back those thirty-two taels of silver first!”
Young Master Zhang turned around and saw that she was shouting, so he hurriedly protected his vital point. With a teasing smile, he said, "Don't worry, Lady Qi; whoever I owe, I dare not lose your silver.”
“That's good.”
Lady Qi grinned happily, but the frightened Young Master Zhang trembled all over because the most famous thing about this Lady Qi was the bird that once bit off the defaulter!
Zhang Hua managed to escape the horror of a toothless smile and was about to find some broad leaves on the table to cover his ugly appearance. Unexpectedly, two more men surrounded him head-on.
Because these two people were not very tall and strong, and their faces also showed a sense of harmony, Zhang Hua angrily shouted, "A good dog does not block the way. You two are blocking me, are you trying to give me... me..."
This forceful statement was halfway through, and unexpectedly, the two of them lifted their robes and flipped out a copper waist tag with a few large characters flashing on it, which immediately left Zhang Hua stunned and speechless!
Although he was now in decline, he was at least once the son of the head of the Imperial Chief. He could still recognize the characters of the ”Northern Dragon Guards of the Detective Department!”
So suddenly, those two people appeared tall and burly, with terrifying faces, almost like two-door gods.
Putong~
Zhang Hua's knees softened, and he knelt on the pebbles. Without crying out in pain, he cried, "Please spare my life! I’m blind that I bumped into you two..."
“Enough!" fr𝚎𝗲𝐰ebnov𝐞𝐥.𝐜o𝗺
Seeing his shabby appearance, the two Dragon Guards were too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said, "You, surnamed Zhang, are lucky. There is a noble person who is interested in your to-be-wife and is preparing to take her as a concubine.”
F*ck! What kind of luck is this?!
No matter how timid Zhang Hua was, he couldn't help but burst out cursing, but the next second, his eyes lit up again.
It turned out that the talking Dragon Guard raised his hand and held out a silver ingot weighing thirty taels. He shook it in front of him and said, "If you're willing to write a divorce letter, this silver will be yours.”
It was indeed a path of good luck!
Zhang Hua was overjoyed and was about to nod his head like a rattle drum, but on second thought, he shook his head again and pretended to be perplexed, saying, "My lady is indeed a beauty, and thirty taels may be...”
Ding~
The Dragon Guard's wrist trembled, and another ingot of silver ingot rolled out of his sleeve, colliding with the original ingot and making a pleasant and melodious sound.
Sixty taels of silver! Just one resignation letter; it was all his.
“This... This…”
Zhang Hua's body trembled with joy, but his greed was even stronger. He still shook his head and said, "My lady who hasn't passed the door is really drifting…”
A stupid person!
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Guard immediately turned his back and cursed, "Since you're not willing, then let's just forget about it.”
As he spoke, he put away his silver and wanted to lead his companions away.
“No, no, no!”
Zhang Hua quickly changed his tone and said, "I mean, that woman, she's not as beautiful as these sixty taels of silver! Could you please bring me to write a letter of divorce?”
He was really a...
The two Dragon Guards were extremely disdainful of him, but for the sake of a job, they still found him a tattered shirt and personally led him to the nearby chief village’s house, writing an official certificate of resignation.
They then forced Zhang Hua to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the original match-making letter and burn it to the ground. Only then did they leave the silver and hurriedly leave.
After the two Dragon Guards left, Zhang Hua held the silver and kissed it again and again. Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly ran to the beach.
“Lady Qi, Lady Qi! I have silver again. Hurry up and bring the boat over, so that I can go up and make a profit!" He shouted from a distance.
