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

Chapter 174 Good Samaritans Reef

Although Hai Jiao was a little put off, he had always been honest with his little sister, and after a few jokes, he still told her the truth.

That day when he came up with the idea of ​​establishing his own personal intelligence network, he remembered a yellow policeman he had met in his previous life.

Huang Captou is the captor of the Chang'an prefecture's yamen and has served for generations.He was the only son of his parents. His father died early, and his widowed mother raised him single-handedly and suffered a lot.When he grew up and inherited his father's job as a government official, he gradually showed his talents and was favored by his superiors, and when someone came to propose marriage, his mother began to show symptoms of being an old fool. People are in a daze and wandering around the city at every turn.

In order to take care of his mother, Capt. Huang even delayed his marriage. Now in his thirties, he is still a bachelor.

In his previous life, Magistrate Huang was about to be promoted to Dali Temple in the capital after serving for six years.He admired Huang Baotou very much, and because they had the same surname and were usually uncle-nephew, he wanted to help this cheap nephew go to Beijing together.Although the head catcher of Dali Temple is also a police officer, his status is different from that of ordinary government officials.But Capt. Huang couldn't leave his mother behind. If he took her to Beijing with him, he would be afraid that no one would be able to look after her while he was busy with official duties. But if he stayed in Chang'an, he would at least have neighbors to help him.Therefore, he could only reluctantly decline Magistrate Huang.Anyone who knows him doesn't feel sorry for him?But he never regretted it and only devoted himself to being filial to his mother.

Later, Hai Jiao heard that someone was acting as a matchmaker for Huang Captou, and told him about a widow who came to Suzhou to visit her but could not find her relatives.Although the widow had a son and a daughter, the daughter had sold herself to a wealthy family and became a girl, and the son had delayed medical treatment due to illness and became disabled.She was very capable and had a gentle and docile temperament. After marrying into the Huang family, she took good care of both Capt. Huang and his wife, and never let Capt. Huang worry about his wife again.Huang Captou can finally focus on his career.As for her mother and son, they were living a stable life and had saved their daughter's ransom money. They were all happy.

Hai Jiao remembered Huang Captou and knew that he was close to Huang Zhifu, trusted by him, and always knew a lot of inside information, so he took up his idea.

Hai Jiao also knew that there were smart young men from poor families in Chang'an who could be hired to run errands, but they were tight-lipped and would not easily leak information about their employers.

He first spent money to find a few clever children he recognized in his previous life, and asked them to help him keep an eye on Old Madam Huang and find the places where she usually went when she got lost, as well as the time and pattern of her usual disappearances, etc.He himself went to Zhou's Veteran Village and Sanfang Villa to work every day. When he returned to the city, he could get information from those children. Within a few days, he had figured out the pattern of Huang Lao Niang's random wanderings.

He took some time to wander around the streets near Huang's house, and was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Huang, who had gone missing again.He supported the old man and asked questions all the way back to Huang's house. The neighbors all knew that Mrs. Huang had met a kind person today.When Capt. Huang heard the news that my mother was missing and hurried home, what he saw was that my mother was sitting at home safe and sound, happily chatting nonsensically with a young guest.

Huang Captou is grateful to the kindhearted person Hai Jiao.Hai Jiao took the opportunity to inquire about the situation at his home, and learned that there was no one to help him at home, but his mother always went out and wandered around. If the neighbors saw them, they could stop them, but everyone has their own things to be busy with, and it is impossible to stop them. God helped him keep an eye on the old lady.Huang Captou had thought about hiring someone before, but the woman he hired for the first time quietly stole things from his house and deprived his mother of food. He was afraid that my mother would be wronged, so he never dared to think about hiring someone again.

Hai Jiao once again "kindly" introduced him to a widow who lived two streets away.The widow lost her husband during the Suzhou War. After the war, she took her children back to Chang'an City to visit her relatives. Unexpectedly, her relatives had passed away and she had nowhere to go. The children make a living by washing clothes, sewing and mending for others, and their life is difficult.The three of her mother and son can help Huang Captou take care of his mother and do some housework. Huang Captou just needs to rent two houses in the yard of his house for them to stay at a low price.Huang Captou tried to ask the widow to help take care of his mother for a day. He found that she was well fed and clothed, did not go out any more, and the house was in good condition. He was immediately overjoyed, so he packed up two empty rooms and rented them cheaply. To the widow's family.In fact, the money he paid for hiring people was deducted from the rent, and there was still a surplus, which meant that the widow, mother and son had a free place to live and could earn some pocket money.The widow's family was extremely happy and took care of Mrs. Huang even more carefully.

As for whether the two families will merge into one family in the future, it depends on their fate.At least now they get along well, the widow has someone to rely on, and she no longer has to sell her daughter to get money for medicine, and her son has not yet become disabled due to delayed medical treatment due to illness; Capt. Huang no longer has to be distracted by his mother, and he can rest assured to follow Magistrate Huang the next year. Entered Beijing.

Huang Captou was not only grateful to Haijiao, but also much more candid when chatting with him.After Hai Jiao first revealed his connection with the Jin family's case and his experience in participating in the Zhou family's veterans rounding up the No. 8 killer, Huang Captou was willing to reveal a little to him in order to get more information from him. Inside information from the government office.The two happily exchanged information and were both very satisfied.

Haitang was dumbfounded when he heard this: "It's only been a few days, but my brother has already done so much? And he has his own independent source of intelligence?"

Hai Jiao couldn't help showing a bit of pride: "I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. As soon as I arrived on the street, I saw Huang Lao Niang not long after. I sent her home soon. That’s when I met Capt. Huang. I asked him about his family affairs, and he didn’t hide anything. He directly told him his difficulties. I introduced the widow to him, and he immediately invited someone to try it out. One day later, he I’m willing to hire someone. Things are going so well that I can’t even believe it. Maybe it’s because, although I have selfish motives, I really help people, right? God recognizes my merits and is willing to help me.”

Haitang asked him: "The widow you introduced to Huang Captou is the one he married in his previous life, right? Have you inquired about her situation in advance?"

Hai Jiao nodded: "I knew in my last life that her mother and son struggled to support themselves in Chang'an for several years and almost fell into despair. After all, they are also old friends in Suzhou. Although I don't remember her family, since it was the battle of Suzhou I have to help the families of the fallen soldiers no matter what. Now that I have helped his family get acquainted with Huang Captou in advance, I guess his children can live a better life, right? Huang Captou doesn’t have to give up the great opportunity for promotion in the next year. He He is really capable, and he is a good hand in catching robbers and solving crimes. Even if the new prefect does not want to reuse him after Huang Zhifu leaves office, he still needs to be counted on for his help when encountering cases. If it were not held back by my mother's illness, he would never have stayed with him for the rest of his life. Trapped in the Chang'an government office and working as a little head catcher."

Haitang looked at Haijiao with great emotion and felt very relieved.

Brother has grown up!She already knows how to build an intelligence network and find helpers on her own without her helping her with ideas!He has done such a good job, it probably won't be long before she can let go and no longer have to work hard for her brother's career in this life, right?
Haitang was in a good mood: "Now the prefect's Yamen knows more information and can connect the murderer of the Jin family's case with Mr. Sun Ge. Once the old military advisor and the Zhou family know the news, they should be aware that Du Boqin and Mr. Sun Ge There has been collusion, right? This is different from what happened with the third room criminal. It means that there is a traitor in the northwest frontier army camp, and the Zhenguo government can't let it go easily, right?"

Hai Jiao smiled: "Even if Du Boqin can't be punished, he will be on guard in advance. I probably won't have the chance to hear about Du Shilang's romantic affairs in the future, right? What a pity!"
