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

Chapter 159 Decision
Of course Hai Jiao, the eldest young master of the Hai family, has left.

After he saw Zhuang Tou telling the truth he told him, he left quietly.He didn't want to stay and see the veterans from other villages struggling there, let alone hear their pleas for him to keep it secret.He came to the other courtyard specifically to expose the secret.

He didn't even bother to visit Jin Jiashu, who was still recovering from his injuries, nor did he go to see Ma Li and his son who were waiting for news. Instead, he directly mounted his horse and went to Zhou's veteran village a few miles away. He found the old military advisor and explored the village. He told the other party all the news he had received, as well as Mrs. Ma's secret plot.

The old military advisor was a little shocked, and then secretly became sulky.Of course he wouldn't get angry in front of Haijiao, but he couldn't accept it calmly.

After holding his breath in silence for a while, he raised his head and smiled at Haijiao: "Thank you, Brother Hai, for informing me. I don't know how many people know about this? Did your grandfather inform the four generals?" "

Haixi Ya is now a member of Shaanxi Dusi, and the Zhou family member with the highest official position in Shaanxi Dusi is General Zhou Jinzhen.If Hai Xiya knew that someone was trying to harm the Northwest Frontier Army, he would give priority to General Zhou if he wanted to file a complaint.After all, the General Zhou and General Wednesday he was familiar with were currently not in Chang'an.

Hai Jiao still remembered the lie he had told before, so he answered vaguely: "My grandfather has just taken office now and is very busy with work. I heard that several adults in the capital are also busy with official duties and have not had a chance to sit down and talk in detail. Besides, my grandfather is new here, so I hope he can concentrate on his work." His own job. The old man will not interfere with other people's business, which is innocuous. "

The old military advisor felt that he understood.As long as Mrs. Ma's petty thoughts are only "harmless" thoughts and do not really harm the border troops or hinder the operation of Chang'an Glass Workshop, Haixi Ya will naturally not complain.He has been under the care of the Zhou family for many years. Whether it is the damage to the reputation of the Zhou family or conflicts between different heads of the Zhou family, it will not do him any good.As long as the turmoil within the Zhou family can be calmed down, why should he get involved?

The old military advisor sighed secretly, knowing in his heart how he should handle this matter.Although he was born under the command of the third wife of the Zhou family, he was also from the Northwest Frontier Army.He also knew the temperament of the old man from Sanfang.If Mrs. Ma’s behavior was still alive, she would never tolerate it.It is true that the latter dotes on his wife, but as a frontier general, there are always some bottom lines that cannot be crossed.

The old military advisor suppressed the matter and said, "I will report this matter to the marshal. The Zhou clan will take action on its own. Brother Hai just waits for the result with peace of mind."

Hai Jiao smiled: "Actually, I don't have any other meaning. I just saw that my aunt was frightened all day long, and my grandmother was so angry. I wanted to ask my parents to step in, but my uncle was in poor health and had been ill for a long time. My aunt didn't want to disturb him. , I can only secretly feel sad by myself. As a junior, I really can’t bear to see this, so I want to do something for them. I am also afraid that it will cause trouble for my aunt, but I think that you are both fair and wise, and I will definitely be able to convince you. The elders of the third room of the Zhou family have corrected their evil ways and opened their mouths to you."

Change your ways?
The old military advisor glanced at Haijiao with a smile, stopped talking about the matter, and directly changed the topic: "I don't know that a new suspicious person was found at the other end of the village, but yesterday I sent someone to investigate the Tujia Village. , indeed realized that they concealed the fact that an outsider stayed at the village the day before yesterday. However, they later explained that they were the stewards of their in-laws’ families, and they would stay at the village from time to time, not once or twice, and sometimes they would also borrow businessmen from the butcher’s family. It was normal for them to send something to Beijing, so they didn’t mention it as something special. We found out that it was a servant of Mr. Wu’s family, so we didn’t think much about it. "

However, although they didn't think much about it, based on the principle of careful investigation and leaving no blind spots, they still checked out all the people who had stayed in Tujiazhuangzi recently, not even a passing beggar.In the end, they discovered that someone had come to visit the Du family village, but they didn't stay overnight, but they had been in contact with some people in the village for a relatively long time.It just so happened that there was a widow in one of these families. She had had an affair for many years with the confidant of Mrs. Ma, the third-bedroom wife of the Zhou family. When the latter stayed in the village, he stayed in her house.The adulterous affair between the two began long before the death of the woman's husband, but neither the woman's husband nor his relatives, friends, or people in the village who knew about it dared to say anything, just because the adulterer was the third wife of the Zhou family. A person's confidant, one word from him could cause the Tu Family Caravan to lose its major customer and suffer heavy losses.

Even if this matter comes to the owners of Tujia Zhuangzi, they will make the owners and villagers endure it.Now there is only a little face-saving relationship between the Tu family and their grandson Zhou Jinpu.When it comes to the head of the third room of the Zhou family, they may not be as effective as Mrs. Ma's confidants.If the adultery is exposed, the adulterer will certainly not get any good, and the Tu family will not gain much. It is also very likely that they will lose the third wife of the Zhou family.The widow's late husband was just an ordinary member of the caravan. How could the Tu family suffer such a huge loss because of him?

The head of the Tu Family Zhuangzi was a relative of the Tu Family and was an insider of this adultery.He never mentioned this matter to the veterans of the Zhou family, just because he wanted to save some dignity for the Tu family. It was not until the veterans found out about the adultery that he was ashamed to admit it.

The old military advisor originally didn't care about this adultery, but now that he knew that the adulterer had gone to Zhou's third-bedroom villa to cause trouble in an attempt to drive away Jin Jiashu, whom they were protecting, he couldn't bear it anymore.

What kind of bastard things does Mrs. Ma reuse? !She is becoming more confused and meaner now. Is she deceived by these bastards around her? !

The old military advisor held back his anger and turned the topic back to the widow of the Tujia Zhuangzi: "Someone from the Dujia Zhuangzi came to look for her, but the man's head was covered and his face was covered. I don't know his identity. I only know that he was thin. He is not tall, walks very lightly and shrinks his head. We have asked the veteran who lives on the edge of Dujiazhuang, and his son and daughter-in-law cannot recall such a person in the village. But our people think that he is the same as those who came before. The description of the young man who inquired about Jin Jiashu in Bie Zhuang is somewhat similar."

The current problem is that the widow in Tujia Zhuangzi cannot tell who this person is, nor does she know what he is doing to come to her.When this person came to the door, she happened not to be at home, but was visiting a neighbor's house.Among the people at home at that time, her son was still young and didn't know anything. The other person was her adulterer.

The old military advisor had already made a decision to go to the third room of the Zhou family to talk to Zhou Shigong in person and ask him to stop poaching the border troops.If your son is useless, you can think of other ways, but it would be too much to seek personal gain for your son at the expense of the interests of the border troops.By doing this, is Zhou Shigong worthy of his ancestors? !

He had been studying for the imperial examination since he was a child, and he had never killed enemies or defended the territory on the frontier. However, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and many family members of his clan, as well as his brothers and sons, had all shed their blood on the frontier!How could he forget his roots and betray his own kin? !
Don't use his stepmother's destiny as an excuse. He, Zhou Shigong, is the head of the third room of the Zhou family.If his stepmother makes a mistake, he should try his best to stop her. This is true filial piety.He didn't dissuade her and still wanted to be her accomplice, so that was his responsibility.For the sake of the late old man of Sanfang's posthumous reputation, the old military advisor must scold him until he completely corrects himself!

As for the evil servants in the third room of the Zhou family who helped the emperor do evil, they should not have stayed to bewitch their master.The old military advisor will take them away directly, lest they have another chance to smear the reputation of the old man from the third room!
