Chapter 552: The Sun Family's Daily Life [X+1 Continued]
[The third update, the task is completed.] 】
Although Third Sister You has a wild temperament, if it weren't for Second Sister You to reveal it, Sun Shaozong wouldn't have thought that she would have done something to kill people and sell goods!
Of course, it's not the kind of premeditated murder, but it's actually an accident.
About two years ago, at the turn of summer and autumn, Third Sister You pretended to be a man and went out for a stroll, but she came back late because she was playful, but she was stopped and molested by a drunk man in the back alley not far from home.
In the midst of the struggle, Third Sister You grabbed the drunk indiscriminately, but the man plunged into the ditch and did not move for a long time.
Because she was annoyed that this drunk man was rude, Third Sister You didn't think much about it at the time, so she stepped forward to untie the money bag on his waist, and then ran back to the house in one go.
As a result, I found out the next morning that the drunk man had drowned in a small ditch, and this person was still a petty official from the military department, so that Wanping County searched for the murderer.
Third Sister You was frightened by this, and she didn't dare to go out for two months, but fortunately, Xu Huaizhi of Wanping County was a fool, and after looking for a while and no result, she deduced that it was caused by the passing thief cutting the path, and the thief had already fled when he heard the news.
Although the government gave up the investigation, during this period, Second Sister You, who got along with Third Sister You day and night, found out that there was something wrong with her, and after repeated questioning, she realized that her sister had done something murderous.
At that time, Second Sister You was bluffed, but she was relieved by her sister for a long time before she could be relieved.
More than two years have passed since this happened, and Second Sister You didn't even dare to tell her mother, but now she sold it to Sun Shaozong without hesitation.
Sun Shaozong briefly scrutinized the case: Second Sister You was molested and rebelled at that time, this step is basically legitimate defense, even if it causes the other party's life, she will not be convicted of any serious crime.
But her act of taking the other party's money bag has made a subtle change in the nature of the case.
What's more, she concealed this incident and did not voluntarily surrender.
In this way, if she can't provide strong evidence to prove that she was molested and fought back angrily, she is very likely to be punished as a robber and murderer.
And even if she can prove that she was molested and stole the other party's money bag, she still can't escape the crime of robbing money.
Moreover, the circumstances are serious, and the crime will be increased by one degree, plus the deceased is an official of the imperial court, and the crime will be increased by one degree according to the regulations, and in the end, I am afraid that it will inevitably end up being a military assassination.
In this case, this handle is enough.
Sun Shaozong was thinking in his heart, so he heard a pop in front of the bed, but it was Second Sister You who saw him speechless for a long time, and knelt on the ground in fright and begged: "Ask the master to be merciful, the slave is such a sister......"
"Alright."
Sun Shaozong pulled her up and scolded: "I'm not the one who doesn't recognize the six relatives, and it's understandable for her to say it, as long as she doesn't come nonsense in the future, I don't bother to pay attention to such old things." ”
Second Sister You breathed a sigh of relief, and then said tentatively: "Eldest sister is ...... over there"
"That's all you think about her jewelry?"
Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Our family is not short of those silvers - not to mention that I heard that the Wuxi barbarians love to collect all kinds of gold and silver headdresses, and when they pick up some affordable ones, they can play any jewelry you want!" ”
How can Second Sister You know what kind of soldiers are dangerous?
Listening to what Sun Shaozong said, he was full of confidence, but when he went south this time, his bones were crispy, and the beautiful woman went straight to the bed like a snake.
If it was another time, Sun Shaozong would have to love her.
But now that I'm thinking about the night, how can I waste my energy on her?
Saying......
Today, I have to tell Pomegranate to prepare an extra set of bedding, so as not to flood the mountains like yesterday, and not let myself call the maid to come in and replace - although it is overflowing with frankincense, it is not very comfortable to sleep in the end.
was searching his intestines and stomach to find a reason, so he politely rejected Second Sister You's obsession, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside and said, "Second Master is inside?" Uncle has just come back from outside, and I heard that you have something to do with him, so I asked the slave to call you to the study to talk. ”
Big brother is back?
This is really strange, the 'Canton Fair' has always been all night, it would be good to be back before noon the next day, why did you return home at night today?
Sun Shaozong got up suspiciously, and waited to push the door out.
But when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped again, turned around and asked Second Sister You: "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
Second Sister You nodded vigorously and said categorically: "I'll reject the third sister later, and I won't get involved in this matter anymore." ”
Don't mix with your sister!
Sun Shaozong scolded angrily: "I mean, extortion of gold and silver jewelry is free, you only care about what you and I want!" ”
As he spoke, he left Second Sister You, who was obviously still in a state of ignorance, pushed the door and strode out.
Nothing to say all the way.
When he arrived in the study, he saw the eldest brother sitting on the top, seemingly depressed, Sun Shaozong became more and more curious, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was going on.
"Don't mention it."
Sun Shaozu said angrily: "I just met with a big-breasted girl, and the Canton Fair, which was originally good, was disturbed by Brother Rong of Ning Guofu." ”
Disturbed by Jia Rong?
This is even more strange, that Jia Rong is a leader in the green hat world, and his wife can be willing to give it, how can he ......
"It was precisely because this guy took his wife to break the rules of the Canton Fair, and a few defenders quarreled with him on the spot, and everyone broke up unhappily."
Okay~
There are even 'vindicators' on such occasions.
However, according to the unspoken rules of these years, the exchange of cheap concubines has nothing to do with morality, but is a very elegant thing, but if it involves a wife, it is not only spurned, but also violates the laws of the court.
Of course, this royal law is generally that the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable.
Sun Shaozong was complaining in his heart, and heard the eldest brother mutter: "Actually, those people are really idle, he is willing to exchange his mother-in-law with others, who is next to him?" ”
"Big brother!"
Listening to him, the more he talked, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but turn his face.
"Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense, right?"
Sun Shaozu immediately deflated, his majestic body spread out on the chair, and asked weakly: "I heard Zhao Zhongji say, you have something to look for me today?" ”
"Brother, do you still remember the rebellion of the Wuxi barbarians?"
"What?!"
As soon as he heard this, Sun Shaozu sat up straight again, and said with concern: "It has been decided that you are going?" Who is the chief official this time, a civilian official or a military general? ”
He had already heard about someone recommending Sun Shaozong as the deputy envoy for counterinsurgency, so as soon as he heard Sun Shaozong mention it, he hurriedly asked who the chief official was, so that he could help his brother get a relationship in advance.
"There is no chief officer."
Sun Shaozong simply told his eldest brother what he was right in front of the palace.
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Shaozu had already jumped up and paced back and forth in the room.
When he finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "No!" This is definitely not possible! You haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, what can you do in that poor ravine?! ”
He originally supported his younger brother to go south to make meritorious contributions, but he was leading an army to quell the rebellion, guarded by thousands of troops and horses, and there was just a group of mountain barbarians on the opposite side, so it was not expected to be much risk.
This only took a few hundred elites to fight for their lives in the mountains, and the form was completely different.
Don't say that there are tens of thousands of barbarians in the mountains, snakes, insects, rats and ants or something, which is enough for a person to drink a pot.
"Big brother."
Sun Shaozong said helplessly: "I have made a military order in front of Your Majesty, do you dare to regret it?" Besides, you don't know the current situation in the capital, I will only be tied to death on the crown prince if I stay, in case the crown prince is out of place, our brothers will have to step aside. ”
"That's not going to work either!"
Sun Shaozu sat back on the chair, only smashed the Nanmu Taishi chair with a creak, and said irritably: "It's a big deal, I'll go to the south for you!" How can I say that I have been in the army for more than ten years, is it not as good as your rookie egg?! ”
If the army is swept away, Sun Shaozong may not be able to compare with his eldest brother.
But at the moment, the imperial court obviously doesn't want to spend too much soldiers, horses, food, and grass, after all, compared to the six countries in southern Xinjiang, the Wuxi barbarians who retreated back into the mountains after grabbing a wave can only be regarded as a disease of scabies at best.
However, looking at the appearance of the eldest brother's cockfighting, Sun Shaozong didn't want to argue with him, so he only smiled: "If my brother loves me, I will help prepare a few pieces of blade armor to take advantage of, so as not to accidentally get hit by the cold arrow......
"Bah, baba, the wind blows away!"
Sun Shaozu took a few sips in a row, and said solemnly: "When our father fought the Goryeo Kingdom back then, he also killed Tong Tong among the hundreds of thousands of chaotic troops, you kid is just going to fight a few mountain barbarians, what danger can you have?!" ”
"So the eldest brother agrees......"
"I didn't agree!"
Sun Shaozu pursed his mouth arrogantly, and then said: "But you should indeed prepare two sets of blade armor - Armor Island is okay to say, just change mine, as for this blade, what do you have in mind?" ”
When Sun Shaozong told him about the idea of adding the mace and the golden hammer, the eldest brother pondered for a while, and said that he had covered this matter, and the quasi-guarantee would make things out as a supervisor.
"That's right."
After thinking about it, he explained: "If the mountains are not very damp, you might as well bring some new earth-shaking thunder from the Gunpowder Bureau, I heard that it is an improved process, and it is much smaller than the previous one--unfortunately it has not been distributed to the Shenji Battalion, and I don't know how true this boast is." ”
Naturally, there have been grenades for a long time in these years, but due to the limited technology, the power is not very large, and the volume is not small, so it is generally used to defend the city.
Listening to the meaning of the cheap big brother, it should be a breakthrough in the production process, and I don't know how much power it can have in modern grenades - in fact, it doesn't need much power, as long as it is about the same volume and weight as modern grenades, and then the movement is big enough to deter those barbarians who see it.
So Sun Shaozong wrote down this matter in advance and prepared to go to Jia Shanyao to inspect the goods in a few days.
After that, the two brothers had dinner in this study.
During this period, Sun Shaozu nagged a lot of tips for marching and fighting, and he bit to death and did not agree with Sun Shaozong to go to Huguang to quell the rebellion.
Therefore, after he was full of wine and food, he hurriedly found a reason and went back to his small courtyard.
By the hazy moonlight, as soon as he walked to the door of the small courtyard, he suddenly bumped into someone inside, but who else could it be if it wasn't Qingwen?
Seeing that she was carrying a food box in her hand, Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then suddenly said, "Are you going to deliver food to Caixia?" ”
Qingwen nodded, clutching the food box tightly, looking a little cramped.
"You're a long-term lover."
Sun Shaozong dropped such a sentence with a pun, and went into the courtyard by himself - there was no shortage of women around him, so naturally he would not rush to force a maid.
However, Qingwen looked back at his back as he walked away, and her heart was mixed for a while.
