The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 53: The Foolish Overlord has Sharp Eyes to See Through the “Insights”

Several people hurried to the Vice-President Mansion next door and saw that the front of the mourning hall was crowded. In the middle, a big man was blocked by several healthy servants, hugging and locking his arms, but he stubbed his neck and jumped to scold, who else could it be if it wasn't Xue Pan?

Listening to his incessant obscenities and slanders, Jia Zheng's old face seemed to have opened a grocery store, turning red and white, green, and mixed with a few black fumes.

For a moment, his anger was overwhelming, and he even added a little strength to his body. He separated the crowd in just a few moves and then slapped Xue Pan in the face. He shouted in his mouth, "You vile spawn, shut your mouth up!"

Xue Pan was a little dizzy after being slapped. Without thinking about it, he lifted his fist. When he saw that the person coming was his uncle, he hurriedly pressed his fist on his head and said, "Uncle, why are you... Why are you here?"

"Do I have to tell you in advance regarding my whereabouts?"

Jia Zheng glared angrily, and his fists clenched. He just wants to swallow and peel this disgraceful thing in front of the mourning hall.

Xue Pan shrank his neck, but thinking of what had just happened, he immediately straightened up and said wrongfully, "Uncle, in the past, I bullied others. It's okay for you to scold me a few words, but today I was bullied, how can you beat me?"

"Can you still be bullied?"

"Of course!"

Xue Pan raised his head, showed several bloodstains on his neck, and said exaggeratedly, "I kind-heartedly comforted the Young Second Master Ge, but instead of being grateful, he rushed up and scratched frantically. If you don't believe it, this yard full of people can testify to me!"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly scanned around. Seeing that no one came out to refute this remark, he was immediately reassured. He was afraid that Xue Pan would cause trouble without reason, but he was not worried that he would suffer a big loss.

He also knew that Xue Pan had always been careless, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you ever say something unpleasant?"

"How is that possible?!"

Xue Pan immediately called for being wronged again, "Because Vice-President Ge used to take care of the Xue family's business very much, so my mother asked me to come over to mourn. I'm not a fool, why should I say something unpleasant?"

"Nephew Ge."

Jia Zheng was relieved, turned his head and arched his hands in the mourning hall, and said, "I don't know where my nephew bumped into you, which made you act so impolitely in front of the coffin?"

Hearing this, there was a hint of questioning. Ge Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows and blurted out his words with a gun and a stick clip, but his eyes inadvertently swept on Sun Shaozong, and he suddenly changed his mind, only tilted his head, and said with hatred, "Nothing, I just don't feel happy about him!"

"Erlang!"

"Second Brother!"

As soon as these words came out, Ge Xiaorui and Ge Xiaoyi immediately changed their faces and gave a scolding.

Then Ge Xiaorui hurried forward and bowed to Jia Zheng, saying, "My brother is so sad that his words and deeds are at a loss for a moment. I'll apologize to Master Xue for him first, and ask Uncle to look at his father's face and not hold him on account for his actions in general."

"Your words are too serious, my nephew must have something wrong."

Seeing that the brothers of the Ge family had taken on the responsibility, Jia Zheng also went down the slope and politely talked with Ge Xiaorui, and then led Xue Pan out of the Ge Mansion in a hurry.

Xue Pan was so proud that he raised his nose and said with a smile, "Uncle, I told you I wasn’t wrong, didn't I? Look..."

"What are you looking at?"

Jia Zheng still didn't give him a good face and scolded, "Now that the matter has been settled, hurry back to the house, and don’t let your mother worry!"

Xue Pan was most afraid of this Uncle normally thus, he didn't dare to distinguish anything from him anymore. He had hurriedly ordered someone to lead the horse and was about to escape.

"Wait a minute!"

Who knows, he was just about to mount when someone shouted behind him.

Xue Pan looked over, following the sound of the voice, and saw Sun Shaozong following out of Ge's Mansion. He took a few steps and said, "Uncle, I have a few words to ask Brother Xue, I don't know if..."

Jia Zheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter to you, you ask! If this vile spawn dares to talk nonsense, I will never forgive him!"

"What are you talking about, Uncle?!"

Xue Pan jumped and said, "It's okay to fool the others, but how dare I fool Brother Sun?"

He then patted Sun Shaozong on the chest and said, "Brother, just ask me if you have anything to say. I'm sure to speak everything I know without reserve!"

Sun Shaozong was not courteous to him. He pulled him directly into the opposite alley and looked left and right, ensuring there was no one. He then asked, "Tell me, what on earth did you do to annoy Ge Xiaoxian?"

It turned out that just now Ge Xiaoxian's appearance of wanting to talk and his pause were very suspicious. How can he deceive Sun Shaozong's eyes?

Although there was no evidence, with the intuition of an old criminal detective, he still judged that what Ge Xiaoxian concealed must be related to the case!

Therefore, he would catch up and ask what happened.

"This... That..."

Hearing that it was this problem, Xue Pan shook his head and was a little vague.

"Tell the truth!"

Sun Shaozong's eyes were sharp, and Xue Pan shivered. He dared not hide anything anymore and hurriedly told him what had just happened.

It turned out that this foolish boy had come to mourn for Vice-President Ge at the order of his mother and had offered rich sacrifices in the mourning hall. It happened that it was Ge Xiaoxian's turn to come out to thank him. Xue Pan, who saw him in filial piety, was white and beautiful. Unconsciously, he became obscene.

His temperament, whenever he has greed, how will he care about what the occasion was?

So he opened his mouth and teased a few words, wanting to get to know Ge Xiaoxian.
