Chapter 309: Nightmare Magic Sister and Brother Meet Five Ghosts (Part 1)
However, Sun Shaozong spent most of the day to finally sort out the confusing lawsuit, and he didn't even have time to eat a proper lunch.
After the court was adjourned and they returned to the back court, seeing that it was getting late, Sun Shaozong left Lin Delu to deal with the files and hurried out of the court carrying seven or eight packets of supplements.
When he came here, he rode a horse alone for convenience, but now with so many burdens, it is not as convenient as taking a carriage.
Hanging those big and small bags on the horse's neck, seeing it trembling makes people feel uneasy, so naturally they dare not go faster.
Walking along the way.
When he arrived at Rongguo Mansion, he explained his purpose to the doorman on duty, and the doorman immediately let Sun Shaozong in.
However, he was not led to the palace where the emperor came to visit his mother. Instead, he was taken to Rong Xi Tang to talk to the second master Jia Zheng.
At first, Sun Shaozong didn't take it too seriously. He just thought that Jia Baoyu had burned his face and didn't want to see guests.
Who would have thought that after exchanging a few pleasantries with Jia Zheng and asking about Jia Baoyu's condition, Master Zheng showed some embarrassment on his face , and said sheepishly: "This evil creature only got burned, it's not a big deal. I just asked someone to call him, I guess it's time..."
"Master, Master!"
As they were talking here, a servant came running over like the wind, tripped and fell at the door, his mouth filled with blood, which gushed out in a blink of an eye!
But the boy didn't even bother to wipe it, and started to yell like a sick rooster: "This is terrible, this is terrible! I don't know what kind of hysteria Master Bao has got, he is determined to commit suicide, and the maids and old women can't stop him!"
"What?!"
Jia Zheng jumped up suddenly and said in surprise, "Didn't they say he had a good sleep all afternoon and hasn't woken up yet? How come he suddenly got hysterical again?!"
Although the servant's mouth was full of blood, he did not dare to pause for a moment, and hurriedly replied with saliva flying: "I don't know either. I was ordered to go to Yihong Courtyard and was told that the master wanted to see the second master. Miss Qingwen asked me to wait outside and went in to call the second master to wake up."
"Who knew that I was waiting outside when I heard Miss Qingwen calling for help from inside. I heard a lot of noise and a commotion inside. I didn't care about anything else and wanted to go in and help."
As he said this, he exaggeratedly compared the size of a watermelon and said, "Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the door, I would see the Second Master holding such a large inkstone and trying to smash it on my forehead!"
"That's not all. I tried my best to grab the inkstone, but the Second Master rushed into the yard again and banged his head against the stone pillar. Fortunately, the maids and the old women came out and finally pinned the Second Master down!"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was shocked?
He hurriedly ran forward a few steps, one foot in the door and the other out, and then he suddenly remembered that there was Sun Shaozong, so he turned around and forced a smile, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, nephew, I'm afraid today..."
"What are you talking about, uncle? Not to mention that Baoyu and I have known each other for a long time, even if it comes from my brother, there is no reason for our two families to be so distant." Sun Shaozong's eyes flickered slightly, but he said earnestly: "Besides, I'm here anyway, why don't I go over and see if there's anything I can do to help."
The two families had been friends for generations, and now they were relatives. Moreover, Jia Zheng had always valued Sun Shaozong's character, so hearing him say this was naturally acceptable.
So the two of them and the servant with blood on his mouth hurried out of Rong Xi Tang and went straight to the main gate of the provincial palace.
Along the way, they ran into Lady Jia, Jia She, Jia Lian, Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Aunt Xue and others, all of whom had rushed to the Yihong Courtyard to visit after hearing the news.
With so many female relatives traveling together, Sun Shaozong, an outsider, should have retreated.
But at this critical juncture, who would care about this?
So Sun Shaozong felt at ease and followed these women, secretly observing their every move.
As for the reason...
According to the servant's description, Jia Baoyu's current condition has something in common with that of Chen Bo, and Sun Shaozong couldn't help but become suspicious!
But when the whole family arrived at the gate of the Yihong Courtyard, they heard a commotion inside, with countless young girls calling out Jia Baoyu's name.
Grandmother Jia hurriedly stepped over the threshold and saw several maids and old women trying their best to press Baoyu to the ground. However, Baoyu was unwilling to accept and was unwilling to give in. He stretched his neck and screamed "ho ho", his eyes rolled up, drooling, and countless blue veins bulged on his forehead and temples!
At that time, Grandmother Jia was very anxious. She stabbed the ground with the dragon-headed cane, and cried out in pain: "What happened? What happened? Baoyu, my poor son! What happened to you?!"
Mrs. Wang, who was standing beside her, was no less upset, her yellow face had already turned into a stained one from crying.
Jia Zheng, on the other hand, was relatively calm. Seeing that the maids were unable to hold Baoyu down, he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, quick, quick, get the rope and tie him up!"
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that several strong servants were about to step forward to attack, Sun Shaozong hurriedly shouted "Wait a minute" and stepped forward and said, "Brother Bao is struggling so hard. If we tie him up directly, I'm afraid he will hurt his bones. It would be more appropriate to wrap him in a quilt before tying him up."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he thought it made sense and quickly changed his words, and asked the maids to bring out two quilts.
Several servants wanted to step forward to take it, but Sun Shaozong had already snatched it away. He ordered the old women who were suppressing Baoyu to leave, pulled Baoyu up with one hand, rolled him up into a ball like a rice dumpling, and tore off a piece of cotton wool and stuffed it into Baoyu's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue.
But in the blink of an eye, he quickly handled everything and then handed Baoyu over to Xiren and Qingwen.
Everyone in the Jia family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then some people who believed in ghosts and gods said with certainty that Baoyu must have been possessed by an evil spirit!
So everyone started talking at once. Some suggested asking a Taoist priest to drive away the evil spirit, some suggested asking a witch to perform a shaman ritual, and some recommended Zhang Zhenren from the Jade Emperor Pavilion. There was all sorts of noise.
Sun Shaozong secretly observed for a while, taking in everyone's words and actions, and then suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, Baoyu is probably not possessed by some evil spirit, but has been poisoned!"
When he wrapped Baoyu in the quilt just now, he vaguely smelled the faint sweet fragrance from Baoyu, so at this moment he was 99% sure that this was the third case of the Five Ghosts Curse!
Everyone was silent at first, and then the uproar increased tenfold.
If it was caused by evil spirits, it could be said to be a natural disaster, but if it was really caused by poison, it must be a man-made disaster without a doubt!
For a moment, everyone's suspicious eyes fell on Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan.
If there was anyone in the Jia family who wanted to harm Baoyu the most, it would naturally be her and her son. What's more, they had already had a previous record a few days ago - the burns on Baoyu's face were the work of Jia Huan!
Aunt Zhao had just been scolded a lot for this, so she was even more motivated to do it.
"Brother Sun!"
Just as everyone was suspicious, Lin Daiyu stepped out with tears in her eyes and said anxiously, "We are not in a hurry to find out who poisoned Baoyu. But since Second Brother has figured out that he was poisoned, do you know how to save Baoyu?!"
Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang were also awakened by her words, and they hurriedly begged him to take immediate action to save Baoyu.
"this……"
Sun Shaozong scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I only know that two people were killed and one went crazy by this poison. As for how to detoxify..."
When Lin Daiyu heard the saying 'one dead and the other mad', her body began to sway like a floating duckweed and she was about to collapse to the ground.
Li Wan hurriedly hugged , staring at Sun Shaozong with her peach blossom eyes and asked, "Master Sun, don't you have any other ideas?"
this… …
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment and said hurriedly: "The poison should be on Baoyu's bed right now. As long as we find out the real culprit behind the scenes, we can always find a way to save him!"
With just these words, Mrs. Wang went crazy and rushed towards Aunt Zhao, cursing, "You damn bitch, why don't you take out the antidote!"
However, they could not wait for the interrogation and convicted Aunt Zhao first.
