The living room of the Su family is the same on the outside and the inside, and the layout is very simple.

Of course, if you want to say better, you can also use the word 'plain and elegant' to describe it.

But these are not important, Sun Shaozong is not a feng shui master who looks at the house, the purpose of his visit this time is mainly to 'watch people'!

Therefore, after the guests and hosts sat down, Sun Shaozong's gaze did not stop on Su Xingfang's face.

And Su Xingfang was also calm, beckoning an old servant to serve tea, and then said calmly: "Lord Shaoqing came to the cold house, Su should have swept the couch to greet him, but the elder had just encountered an accident, and it was really inconvenient to treat guests If Lord Shaoqing has any instructions, although it is okay to speak bluntly." ”

Although he knew that Su Xingfang was a capable official and his bearing was not as good as ordinary people, but seeing that he was under suspicion, he was still so calm, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Why did such a young and promising official kill Daoyan's master and apprentice?

Could it be out of righteous indignation?

But if it was out of righteous indignation, he first sent the corpse to Dali Temple, and then set up a mechanism to kill his maternal uncle, but what kind of operation was it?

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!

Sun Shaozong was puzzled in his heart, but his face was confident, and he reached out to tease the tea cup in front of him, making a jingling crisp sound.

After a while, he suddenly spoke: "Su Zhixian, I mentioned it in passing on the way here, but how did I hear Jiang Laoqi say that you are in good health and have not taken sick leave for two years?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Su Xingfang coughed a few times at the right time, then shook his head and said, "In life, who can not have three calamities and five tribulations?" Su just gritted his teeth and held on, and the servants below didn't know what to do, but thought I was beaten with iron. ”

is a good Su Xingfang, and he shirked it without leaking!

"Su Zhixian, you are from Huai'an, Jiangsu, right?"

Seeing that he answered like a fluent and did not see any flaws, Sun Shaozong asked more and more explicitly: "I heard that you are close to Hongze Lake, but I don't know what is the difference between the water of Hongze Lake and the water of Shichahai in the capital?" ”

"Is this?"

Su Xingfang really thought about it carefully, and then gave the answer: "Although both places are living water, after all, this Shichahai is trapped in the city, and it is less alive than Hongze Lake. ”

"More than that, right?"

Sun Shaozong's body leaned forward slightly, stared at Su Xingfang's eyes, and said word by word: "Although this Shichahai is not fresh, it is much colder than Hongze Lake, otherwise how could Lord Su be infected with wind chill in the water?" ”

This is basically a dagger of pain!

And Su Xingfang didn't play sloppy this time, his face gradually turned cold, and he met Sun Shaozong's eyes and asked, "What does Lord Sun mean by this?" Isn't Mo suspicious of Su? ”

"Haha!"

Sun Shaozong laughed, leaned back in the chair, bent his fingers on the teacup, and didn't wait for the 'ding' sound to subside, and then asked: "The official just thinks that Su Zhixian has been in a lot of interest recently, and went to Shichahai for winter swimming, so he was contaminated with the wind and cold, but why did he become suspicious of you?" ”

"Or ......"

He raised his head again and looked at Su Xingfang with a slight sneer: "What else did Master Su do besides winter swimming?" For example, the bodies of the two monks were sent to the left of my Dali Temple, and then escaped into the water and escaped?! ”

"Lord Shaoqing."

Su Xing's face was completely gloomy, and he got up and brushed his sleeves and said: "This matter has already been rumored, how can this county not know?" You blame me for this, I'm afraid you want to laugh and be generous! ”

"Rumors?"

Sun Shaozong sneered, and also got up and stared at Su Xingfang: "I only heard that the two monks outside were floated to Dali Temple along the water, but except for the official and the murderer, I'm afraid that few people know that the murderer dived and escaped!" ”

"And I only mentioned the word winter swimming, and Lord Su reacted like this, I'm afraid it's not ......"

"Sun Shaoqing!"

Su Xingfang suddenly raised his voice and said angrily: "Although Su is only a mere sixth-grade, he is also an official of the imperial court!" If you have real evidence, even if you take it out, Su is willing to accept the responsibility! ”

"But if it's just a slander that chews the words, the official really can't accompany him to the end!"

Speaking of this, he didn't bother to care about serving tea to the guests, so he raised his voice directly: "Come on, send Master Shaoqing out for me!" ”

When the old servant outside answered, he turned around and arched his hand again: "Su is filial piety, so he won't be far away to send the adult!" ”

It seems that without the most important motive and evidence, it is not so easy to take down this Su Xingfang by just words.

But Sun Shaozong is not here just to see the living!

Seeing that the old servant entered the hall, he waited to send him out, Sun Shaozong suddenly spoke: "Wait, this official actually has one more thing to ask for here, please ask Su Zhixian to agree." ”

Su Xingfang didn't say anything, but just looked at him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Sun Shaozong said to himself again: "Uncle Ling's attack and death must be related to the case of the canopy boat mooring the corpse, so after thinking about it, this official still thinks that his body should be brought back to the yamen for an inquest." ”

"You dare!"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden loud drink outside the door, and then an old lady broke in, pointed at Sun Shaozong's nose and jumped to his feet: "If you dare to move my brother's finger, my wife will fight with you!" ”

Looking at this posture, it must be Su Xingfang's mother.

Obviously, she was really eavesdropping outside the door, and it wasn't until Sun Shaozong mentioned that he wanted to bring the corpse to the inquest, and she couldn't help but jump out.

It seems that such an old woman with status, if she is unreasonable, is the most difficult.

Sun Shaozong naturally didn't want to reason anything with her, so he slightly took two steps to the side, and said to Su Xingfang: "Su Zhixian, this official is also for official business, I think you should be able to understand that Sun Mou took a step ahead, and the official of my Dali Temple was waiting outside." ”

After saying that, he bowed his hand to the old lady slightly, and walked out of the living room by bypassing her.

"You dog! Don't think about touching my brother's corpse! ”

"Mother, mother first dissipates ......"

"Get out of the way, I'll see the dog officer......"

Tut~

This Su Xingfang's mother is really hot-tempered.

Sun Shaozong subconsciously shook his head, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman holding a child, looking at the dress, it should be Su Xingfang's wife and children.

The two sides are not good at all, and this is a distance away, Sun Shaozong naturally will not come forward to salute recklessly, but he just didn't see it, and followed the old servant out of the Su Mansion.

When he arrived outside the door, he ordered the accompanying officials to stay and wait for the body to be transported back to the yamen, and Sun Shaozong got into the carriage again.

In fact, when he originally rushed to the county office, he didn't think about transporting the corpse back.

But when he heard that Su Xingfang had returned home with the corpse, he made up his mind to bring the corpse back to the yamen for examination.

Why......

Although it is common practice to bring the corpse home, the officials of Wanping County have also died three!

According to Sun Shaozong's understanding of Su Xingfang, he should be able to endure his grief and take care of the affairs of the other three first, and then go home to report the funeral.

Now that he is in a hurry to come back with the corpse, there is obviously something strange about it!

Especially now that there is no motive or evidence, Su Xingfang's guy is a bad master, and he can only hope to find some new clues from the corpse.

"Drive~!"

At this time, I heard Zhang Cheng shake off the horsewhip and shout, and the carriage started slowly, and then began to accelerate.

At the same time, wild dogs, which had come from nowhere, barked wildly in front of the side of the carriage.

Wait a minute!

Just a few dog barks in his ears, a thought suddenly popped up in Sun Shaozong's head: There seems to be something wrong with that scene just now!
