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

Chapter 160 Open and honest

The reef is somewhat unexpected.

He didn't expect that the old military advisor would act so decisively.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party had already ordered his youngest son to prepare the carriage, and he also got up to change the clothes he had taken out, getting ready to go out.

The old military advisor also thanked Hai Jiao for coming to send a message and asked him to decide how to spend his time today.You can just go back to the city and go home, you can follow the other veterans on the village to continue investigating and hunt down the escaped killer No. 8, or you can do whatever he likes.If they have the latest news, they will also send a message to Haijiao. Unless it is a secret that cannot be known to outsiders, they will not hide it from him to thank him for his continued help.

Haijiao hesitated and chose to stay.He didn't want to watch the conflict that the old military advisor would have with his old master's family after arriving in the third room of the Zhou family.Previously, whether he was talking to the head of the other village or communicating with the old military advisor, he tried his best to avoid the suspicion of Zhou Ma's "leakage" and only said that the news was leaked from the Chang'an Glass Workshop.But Mrs. Ma, the third-bedroom wife of the Zhou family, has always been malicious towards Zhou Ma's step-daughter-in-law. Even if there is no evidence, she will throw dirty water on her head. If she knows that her grandson Hai Jiao is involved in this matter, she will definitely be angry again. I want to get angry at Zhou Ma.Hai Jiao doesn't want to cause trouble to Zhou Ma.

He still hasn't figured out whether it was Mr. Zhou Ma or Mrs. Ma who kicked him out of the third bedroom of the Zhou family in his previous life.If I misunderstood my aunt and caused her misfortune, wouldn't I make my grandmother Ma sad?
The old military advisor didn't say much about Haijiao's decision, and just handed him over to a familiar veteran: "Old Zhangtou, you've seen me there these days. If you don't understand something, just ask him. You're young, My legs and feet are sharp, and my eyesight is better than these old men, so please help them if you need anything."

Hai Jiao agreed and then solemnly bowed his head to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhangtou has a straightforward nature and doesn't care about these vulgar etiquette.After seeing off the old military advisor and his party, he let Haijiao act on his own.

They are a group of veterans who are now divided into three groups. One group is responsible for tracking all the entrances and exits of Du's and Tu's Zhuangzi to prevent the suspected killer from escaping; the other group goes to the mountain behind Du's Zhuangzi, looking down from the hillside to monitor the movements in the village; There is another way. Yesterday, we set out overnight to Chang'an Vanguard to get permission from Zhuangzi's owner Du Boqin to search the village.Once permission arrives, no matter who is hiding in the village, they will never be able to escape from the dragnet!

However, the permission has not yet been obtained. Unless the killer escapes, the two groups left behind to keep an eye on him are still waiting.If Haijiao participates, he may have to wait for a long time, which will be boring.

Hai Jiao knew in his heart that Du Boqin's attitude towards the Zhou family was not friendly, and he was not optimistic that the veterans would be able to obtain permission.But it doesn't matter if he gets involved. After all, the young man seems to have been trained as a spy. He is very experienced in this area and may be able to help these veterans.

But before that, he was not in a hurry to go to the mountains to monitor the Du family village, or to follow him at various intersections.He said hello to Lao Zhangtou and went back to the village to see Jin Jiashu.

Jin Jiashu suffered an attempted kidnapping and assassination a few days ago. Although he was not injured, he was forced to move his body while dealing with the assailant, and the wounds on his ribs and legs opened again.The head of the village specially invited the best doctor nearby to re-treat his wound and bandage it carefully. Now it's nothing serious, but the recuperation time may be extended for a few more days.

He had some resentment towards the Haijiao brothers and sisters before, but after experiencing the second assassination, he calmed down and thought about it for a few days, and his mood calmed down a lot.Seeing Haijiao again, his attitude also improved greatly: "I was wrong before. There are some things that I didn't want to hide, so I can treat them as if they never happened. I am still young and injured again. Inconvenient. Whether I want to fight against those who try to harm me or avenge my loved ones, I need to rely on the strength of others. I should be more open and honest, otherwise once I die with the secret, no one will know the truth, and the enemy will be even more helpless. I'm worried." Hai Jiao blinked, smiled and lowered his voice: "In that case, can you tell me what was written in that letter?"

Jin Jiashu shrank back and said with a slight smile: "That's confidential, I can't tell you. Anyway, the recipient has already got the letter, and it has nothing to do with you."

Haijiao let out a "tsk" sound, but did not continue to ask.Although he really wanted to know the truth, he also learned a truth from his years of being a spy: curiosity kills the cat, and there is no need to ask questions about things you shouldn't know.

He told Jin Jiashu the latest news he knew, including Mrs. Ma's conspiracy to drive people away, and the mystery of the whereabouts of the young man suspected of being the No. 8 killer: "If you hear any gossip in this villa, don't take it to heart. . That is not the real idea of ​​the owner of the other village. It is because someone with ulterior motives thinks you are in the way and wants to drive you away so that he can seize this property. If you are really grateful to the owner of the other village for taking you in to recuperate, then you should Stay here until the day when your injury is completely healed, and you must try your best to make good friends with the veterans of the Zhou family and attract them to visit you more, so that you can save this manor for the owner of the other village."

Jin Jiashu thought thoughtfully: "There are also fights and discord within the Zhou family...?"

"When there are too many people, there will be disputes, and disputes will inevitably lead to discord." Hai Jiao said calmly, "Didn't you say that someone from the second room of the Jin family revealed your father's whereabouts to the killer, causing your whole family to suffer? The Jin family only has two rooms, but they can still fight to the death for a box of gold. What's more, the Zhou family has a population of nearly [-] and has more than ten or twenty houses?! Anyway, I know that the Zhou family has been guarding the northwest frontier for generations. In order to protect the country and the people, they shed their blood and sacrifice their lives, but among those who are pampered in the rear, there will inevitably be some bad apples who only seek personal gain and ignore the overall situation. This kind of thing was just a matter of the Zhou family not knowing about it in the past, but now that they know about it, they won't They don’t do anything. They handle their own household chores, and we outsiders can just watch.”

Jin Jiashu thoughtfully said: "You trust the Zhou family very much."

"We, the Hai family, are not from the northwest, but in the past decades we have been in the northwest, we have always been cared for by the Hai family." Hai Jiao said, "There is a reason for this. My grandfather actually deliberately found a way to be transferred to the northwest..." He told the story of his cousin Xie Wenzai and a group of former Wu family members, "This is evident from the tyranny of the Sun family. The Zhou family had not yet had any grudge against the Sun family. They knew that the Holy One favored the Sun family and treated the Zhou family Although they were dissatisfied, they still protected their cousin and uncle, which shows that they have a strong family tradition. In addition, for more than ten years, our family has been staying in the most remote town on the border, personally experienced the war between Chu and Hu, and saw the Zhou Dynasty with our own eyes. How the generals of the family fought bloody battles on the battlefield. Even if it is just for the peace of the border, I will stand on the side of the Zhou family. "

In his previous life, Hai Jiao knew how the imperial court was suspicious of the Zhou family, saying that the Zhou family controlled the military power in the northwest and was disloyal, etc., but he scoffed at this.

It is a fact that there is war in the northwest. The imperial court does not want the Zhou family to control the frontier army, so it should send a few more capable generals to divide the power!If the Sun family wants to seize the power of the border army, they can also send people to the northwest to join the war.

But what's the result?How many of the generals sent by the imperial court were of distinguished background and ability, and whose prestige and military capabilities were better than those of Marshal Zhou?Sun Yonglu, sent by the Sun family, is even more of a idiot who can only hold us back!Since they have no ability, how can they blame the Zhou family for having the ability to defend their country?Later, when General He Baisheng was able to take charge of the overall situation, the Zhou family did not stop him from taking over!

Since no one has the ability to replace the Zhou family, it is impossible for the Zhou family to give up for the sake of the people of the northwest!
Jin Jiashu looked at Hai Jiao's expression and felt moved.

He actually knew who sent those killers.They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend.Can he put more trust in the Zhou family and Haijiao?
