The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 205: Aftermath Matters

"Master, the place with the lantern in front is Shuiyue Temple!"

The night was deep, and the wind and snow were raging. Even though he was shouting at his throat, Jia Zheng waited for the servant to repeat it, and then he squinted to look up the hillside.

He saw that in the boundless darkness, two wind lamps struggled like duckweeds, even the plaque a few feet away couldn’t be seen.

"Come on, hurry up."

Jia Zheng muttered to himself, regardless of whether Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian behind him heard him or not. He asked the servant to help him out of the carriage and roared up the stone steps.

When Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian saw this, they jumped out of the carriage and followed them up. While climbing the stone steps, they could not help wrapping up their fur robes.

"A-choo~A-choo!"

Jia Lian had already slept, but now he was hit by the storm and couldn't help sneezing twice in a row. He touched his nose and scolded angrily, "Jia Qin, I didn't expect that he would dare to eat people when he usually puts up a fake self!"

Obviously, it was Jia Qin's case that made several wealthy and noble idlers come all night in the wind and snow.

In front of the Shuiyue Temple, a servant rushed forward to knock on the temple door, but it took a long time for two Yamen servants to come forward and open the door.

In the past, if they were hung outside the door for a long time, these slaves in Rongguo Mansion would have to slap the blind Yamen in the face to let them learn their lesson.

However, this was different from the past. Even the two Masters were anxious all the way, so the servants were naturally less confident.

So a group of people walked into the temple and hurried to the back hall under the leadership of the Yamen.

Sun Shaozong had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw the three people enter, he hurried forward to salute, "Uncle, Brother Lian, Brother Bao."

"Dear nephew."

While greeting him, Jia Zheng secretly looked at the situation in the hall. He was trying to find several prostitutes and the little bastard, Jia Qin. However, the first thing that came into sight was a few fat monks.

"Nephew?"

Jia Zheng was shocked and said, "How can there be so many monks in the Shuiyue Temple?"

However, although he didn't ask for anything, it didn't mean that the following people would be willing to help Rongguo Mansion in keeping their secret.

So Sun Shaozong said, "It's just that it’s the end of the year now, and the brothers are working hard for this case and can’t even get time to spend with their families. It's hard to avoid some complaints..."

Jia Lian was used to taking the crooked way and immediately understood this. Knowing that Sun Shaozong wanted to ask for some benefits, he quickly agreed, "Erlang, rest assured, we at Rongguo Mansion also follow the rules. We will never let many officials work in vain!"

"That would be the best."

Sun Shaozong nodded with satisfaction, then added, "There are Jia Yucun and Liu Chongshan in the government office, and there is no fear of making mistakes when judging the case. There is only one person who needs your effort to beg for help."

"Who?"

"Him."

Sun Shaozong pointed at the door with his chin and said, "Inspector Qiu."

Inspection Qiu?

Jia Lian frowned when he looked at the little official in the soap robe. How could a small official be treated so seriously?

"Eh?!"

At this time, Jia Baoyu was surprised and said, "Brother, is he not the son of Commander Qiu's family in Huben Camp?"

Is it Commander Qiu's son?!

How could Commander Qiu's son work as a Patrol Inspector under Sun Shaozong?!

Jia Lian was a little confused at that time, but when he saw that guy's defiant reply, he knew that there was no mistake, so he rushed forward to flatter Qiu Yunfei. All kinds of flattery came for free when he opened his mouth.

Now Qiu Yunfei was head over heels. After all, the flatterer was not someone else, but the legitimate son of Jia's family. In terms of identity, the effect was naturally different from others.

So when Jia Lian asked Qiu Yunfei to keep the matter secret, he immediately agreed, but he was short on the promise of vows.

Jia Lian was relieved and invited Qiu Yunfei to come to Rongguo Mansion for a gathering two days later. Then he gathered with Jia Zheng and Sun Shaozong to discuss the specific aftermath of the case.
