After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 155 Gossip from the previous life
Haijiao would ask this, proving that the answer must be scary.

Haitang thought for a while and then guessed: "My brother was just entering the industry at that time. He was still a newbie among the Jinyiwei secret agents. His understanding of the officials in the capital must have been limited. The person you can even hear about must be someone like this." A high-ranking official with a strong sense of presence, right?"

Hai Jiao has become accustomed to the strange words that occasionally come out of her sister's mouth, so she doesn't find them strange and thinks they are quite appropriate.He smiled and said: "He is indeed very present - he was the left minister of the Ministry of War, and later he was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of War, and he was also the son-in-law of the Sun family. He married a grandniece of Mr. Sun Ge. He is obviously in his 40s. He was able to marry a beautiful woman at the age of eighteen, and the Sun family actually married their daughter to him, and even prepared a generous dowry. Who in the capital wouldn't find it surprising?"

Although the wife of the assistant minister, who was born in the Sun family, was not a bloodline of Mr. Sun Ge, she was still a close relative of the younger generation. She was a direct descendant, and she was also a well-known beauty, with both talent and beauty.Everyone in the capital thought that she would either marry into the royal family or be betrothed to the legitimate son of a high-ranking official and ally of Mr. Sun Ge. Who would have thought that she would actually marry an old man?

Although Du Shilang had been widowed for many years, he still had a good concubine at home who gave birth to a son. The son had already grown up, and even had the honor of being a civil servant. He was still the same age as his stepmother.Even if Du Shilang is in a high position, such a marriage is too mismatched.Many people couldn't help but talk privately and didn't understand what the Sun family was thinking.

If you plan to marry the left minister of the Ministry of War and betroth your daughter to the other party's only son, is it the same?
The Jin Yiwei spies talked about this matter privately, and there was another theory, saying that the Du Shilang was lustful, and the Sun family originally planned to marry him, but he wanted to be the groom himself. The Sun family wanted to win over him and did not want to be at odds with him. Then she followed his wishes and changed her engagement partner.

I don’t know where this statement came from, but it is somewhat true.Anyway, not long after Du Shilang remarried the daughter of the Sun family, his bastard moved out of the house and took his biological mother to live in another house. God knows whether he was jealous of his beautiful stepmother of the same age and specifically avoided suspicion, or he was trying to win over his father. Are you angry with your wife?He only had the honor of being a civil servant, and no matter his status or power, he could not resist his father's orders. The following year, his aunt was pregnant, and he was unable to stay in the capital any longer, so he and his biological mother were sent directly back to his hometown.When Du Shilang and his new wife's son was born, no one even mentioned him.

Hai Jiao recalled the gossip he heard in his previous life not long after he became a secret agent, and felt a little nostalgic.At that time, he was undergoing arduous training and was exhausted every day. The only moment to relax was to listen to other senior spies talking about the secrets of princes and ministers during dinner.It seemed more appetizing for him and his companions to eat based on these anecdotes.

Although the training was very hard, after he actually became a secret agent, he felt that that period was the most stable and relaxing period he had lived since he was forced to leave his hometown.Because no matter how hard the training is, there is no risk to one's life.

Haijiao became distracted again, but Haitang did not.She frowned and asked, "How is this Du Shilang's relationship with the Zhou family after Zhenguo Gongfu and his family moved to the capital?"

Hai Jiao came back to his senses: "The relationship is very cold. To be honest, if I hadn't heard that he was the son-in-law of the Zhou family in this life, I really don't know that they were once in-laws. He didn't have a selfless relationship with the Zhou family. I heard that he was with the Zhou family. The relationship between the generals of the northwest frontier army was very poor. Except for Sun Yonglu, every northwest general who came to Beijing had a bad attitude towards him. Even the Yingchuan Hou family who commanded the Imperial Guard did not want to talk to him. If it weren't for Mr. Sun Ge It was highly recommended that he could not sit on the throne of the Minister of War, and even almost entered the cabinet. Later, Sun Gelao lost power, and he also suffered bad luck, losing his official position and having his family confiscated. However, he was not found to have committed any serious crimes. After losing his official position, He can still save his life. His wife has lost her natal family, and her son is young. I heard that the couple went back to their hometown to spend time with their children. "

Haitang knew it well: "It seems that he has indeed taken refuge with Mr. Sun Ge as the son-in-law of the Zhou family, and he has also done many bad things for Mr. Sun Ge, which aroused the resentment of people in the military. Mr. Sun Ge treated him badly. He was quite serious about it. He didn't say anything about it, and he tried to ensure his promotion. At the same time, he married his young and beautiful niece as a continuation of the marriage, and kept him under control. This Master Du betrayed the Zhou family, There should be no doubt, right?"

Hai Jiao nodded: "I didn't know that he had served as a commander in Chang'an, let alone that his hometown was here. When I first heard the Zhou family veteran mention it, I thought it was the same name. Later, I asked the old military advisor, Knowing that his first wife died young and only a good concubine gave birth to a son, this son was still studying since childhood and had no intention of inheriting his father's military position. I thought it was consistent with the situation in Du Shilang's family, so I was sure that it was him. I'm here." To be honest, he was quite happy.Thanks to the memory of his previous life, he already knew what kind of nails Mr. Sun Ge had planted on the border of Chang'an, so it would be much easier to guard against them in the future.However, Du Boqin's hometown is in Chang'an. In his previous life, he even sent his concubine and his old concubine back after remarrying. Is it because he was afraid that if they lived too long, they would be in the way of his new love?
After the Zhou family lost power, only the Zhenguo Duke's branch moved to the capital. A large number of Zhou family members still stayed in their ancestral homeland in Chang'an, and many of them still held middle and low-level official positions in various frontier army guards.Du Boqin betrayed the Zhou family and aroused the hatred of the Zhou family.Just by sending his concubines back to his hometown and letting them live under the noses of the Zhou family, wouldn't he be afraid that they would be retaliated against and become his scapegoats?

Is it possible that Du Boqin has a new love and a legitimate son, so he doesn't care about the life and death of his old concubine and his former only son?Isn't this man too scumbag?
It's just that such a scumbag will eventually end up losing all his power and returning to his hometown to retire in despair.I'm afraid the life of their couple in Chang'an was even more difficult than that of his concubine, right?

Haitang hummed twice and said to Hai Jiao: "Brother, if you can find evidence this time to prove that Du Boqin is related to the murder of the Jin family, even if you just took in the killer, you must try your best to reveal his true face in front of the old military advisor. You must not let him He continues to pretend to be a good son-in-law in front of the Zhou family, so the Zhou family must be wary of him!"

Hai Jiao said: "Of course! At the moment, I don't know if what happened to the young generals of the Zhou family was his handiwork. But if he hadn't made great contributions, how could Mr. Sun Ge have sent him all the way to the Minister of War? The throne? Even Master Tao has not found any evidence of his crime, but as long as he really takes action, I will definitely find the evidence and crucify him!"

Chang'an's intelligence network must be established as soon as possible.He also needs reliable and smart people to keep an eye on certain people in order to grasp their latest trends at the first time.

The head catcher he thought of before can be made friends as soon as possible, and some of the people he met during his half-year stay in Chang'an in his previous life should also come in handy...

Hai Jiao thought about it in his mind for a while, and then he remembered something with some frustration: "I have a lot of things to do, but I'm afraid grandma won't let me go out. In the past few days, when I go out, I claim that I'm going to get acquainted with the city. , I would still talk about the goods sold in various stores when I got home, how could grandma know that I went to my aunt's other courtyard?"

Haitang looked at him sympathetically: "It's not that you exposed the flaw, it's that you made the Ma family and his son work in the other village and asked them to spread the news back to the daughter of the Zhou family's third room. Aunt Ma's daughter came to visit her today. He even confessed on behalf of his father and brother. The Ma family and his son will have to stay at the villa for a few days. It is said that something went wrong with my aunt."

"So it's them?" Hai Jiao couldn't help but frowned, "What went wrong with my aunt again?"
