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

Although Haitang didn't understand why Zhou Shigong recommended the killer who called himself Zhang Pinggui to the Minzhou Guard, he also knew that Zhang Pinggui was a soldier sent by the Sun family to kill the Jin family, and the Sun family had probably already killed the Yingchuan Hou Shizi. Heart, bring the two of them together. What if the Sun family directly asks Zhang Pinggui to take action?
Zhang Pinggui also stayed in Zhou Shuyi's natal family for a while, and it was through Zhou Shuyi's brother that he was able to join the Minzhou Guard.Once something happens to the Prince of Yingchuan, the Yingchuan House investigates and discovers Zhang Pinggui's whereabouts. Zhou Shuyi will definitely be identified as the mastermind, and Zhou Shicheng will also become an accomplice, but Zhou Shigong really doesn't know about it!

Even for the sake of her aunt Zhou Ma, Haitang did not want Zhou Shigong to become a thorn in the side of the Yingchuan Hou Mansion.His relationship with Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi cannot be severed, so even if he is implicated by them, it would be unjust if he is regarded as one of the masterminds!Zhang Pinggui was obviously a killer raised by the Sun family, but he was not really sent here by Zhou Shuyi.

but……

Haitang was worried about Zhou Shigong when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

As the Sun family's killer, why did Zhang Pinggui hide in the third room of the Zhou family?Mrs. Ma claimed that he was the orphan of her son Zhou Shicheng in the Minzhou Weijiu Ministry and took him in. Was she deceived by his false identity, or was she taking the initiative to help him hide his identity?
Prince Yingchuan will not come to the northwest for training until next year, right?If Zhou Shuyi had planned in advance to kill him, is it necessary to arrange the killer to the place where Prince Yingchuan will be serving this year?
Haitang raised his head and stared at Zhang Pinggui, feeling that he might be able to dig out many secrets from him.If his mouth could be pried open, many of the things that Hai Jiao and her brother and sister were worried about would be solved, right?

Just when Haitang's imagination was opening up, Zhang Pinggui had already declined Zhou Shigong's "good intentions" as tactfully as possible.He said that he did not want to go back to Minzhou Guard. Firstly, his parents and relatives died there, which was a sad place for him. Secondly, the reason why he wanted to come to Chang'an was because of the military position passed down from his father and ancestors. His uncle had usurped him. If he went back, he would have to look at his uncle's face.He hopes to start over in a place where he doesn't know himself and prove himself with his strength.Even without the shadow of his father and ancestors, he can still rely on his true ability to gain a foothold in the military!

Zhang Pinggui's words were very beautiful, but Zhou Shigong didn't take them too seriously.He grew up in a family of military generals, and he had heard too many beautiful words of determination expressed by young soldiers in the army.On the contrary, he also felt that Zhang Pinggui was too cowardly to abandon the foundation of his family's inheritance from generation to generation because he was heartbroken about the death of his family and had a small grudge with his uncle.

If Zhang Pinggui could get his recommendation, he wouldn't have to compete with his uncle for a position when he returned to Minshan Guard.The uncle and nephew work together to support the family business and inherit their father's legacy, which is in line with the usual thinking of northwest military generals.And Zhang Pinggui had to stay away from his hometown in order not to look at his uncle's face... If he really had the guts, why would he ask for help from the Zhou family?Now that he has taken the path of a female member of the Zhou family and sought a military position for himself, there is no need to say any more clichés about "relying on one's own true ability to gain a foothold in the military."

Zhou Shigong didn't say much, and just said lightly: "In that case, forget it. Later I will ask his brother in Jinpu to see if there is a shortage of people in the Ningxia central defender." He turned to his wife Zhou Ma, "You can write later When writing a letter to Jin Lin to report that my granddaughter is safe, I would like to mention it by the way. If there is a shortage of people at his place, it would be best. If there is no shortage, it will be okay."

Zhou Ma said hurriedly: "Ningxia is too far away, and it is much harder than the Minshan Guard. The family has always been concerned about Brother Zhang's future, and I am afraid they will not be happy to let him go to such a remote place."

Zhou Shigong disagreed: "Where my son can go, why can't the sons of my brothers go? If mother has to find fault with this, I will feel wronged for Jin Lin. Mother, the stepmother, is really virtuous and treats her son , and the people her son told me to take care of, they care more about me than my biological son!"

Zhou Ma pursed his lips and said nothing, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.Naturally, she said that just now on purpose.Although she was always no match for her stepmother-in-law, she would not miss it when it was time to slander her.

Zhang Pinggui said to Zhou Shigong in a low voice: "My lord, please calm down. I have no other ideas. Ningxia is also very good. I am not afraid of hard work. It's just that my future has been entrusted to the old lady by Zhou Qian, so I can only I'll obey the old lady's order. If I disobey the old lady's wishes, I'm afraid she will be angry..."

In short, he was unwilling to go to Ningxia Zhongwei and had to let Mrs. Ma arrange his whereabouts.

Zhou Shigong was not a fool, so how could he not hear what he meant?He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "In that case, forget it. Since mother has taken care of your future, why should I bother you? You are one of theirs, and you don't need me to worry about it! I originally thought, Your father is also a hero in the frontier army, so he will give you a fortune. The prince of Yingchuan is going to Minzhou Guards to experience, and you are traveling with him. You will be more or less familiar with each other. If you can get such a noble son, Favored, why worry about not having a good future in the future? Since you don't know how to flatter me and insist on obeying the old lady's orders, then let you go!" Zhang Pinggui suddenly changed his expression: "Prince Yingchuan Hou? He...how could he go? Minzhou Guard?!"

"If he wants to come to the northwest, he should go to the Minzhou Guard. There is no time to entertain him elsewhere!" Zhou Shigong rolled his sleeves, "Since you are not going back to the Minzhou Guard, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just go back to your guest room and wait!" When your mother is free and can find time to help you plan your future, it won't be too late for you to see her again." He smiled slightly and said in a solemn tone, "I'm afraid she has too many things to do. I couldn’t remember you coming.”

Zhou Shigong turned around to leave. Zhang Pinggui's mind was in a mess. He didn't understand how things suddenly changed. He hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Sir, please go slowly..." but was blocked by an arm stretched out horizontally. .

Hai Jiao stopped him: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing? My great-uncle didn't say anything special. He was kind enough to plan your future, but you rejected it. Why do you have such a reluctant expression on your face, like my great-uncle?" What did he do to offend you? What happened to the Prince of Yingchuan? You are the son of a veteran of the Minzhou Guards. Do you still know the noble son of the Yingchuan Houfu? What did he do to you when he went to the Minzhou Guards? You Aren’t you unwilling to go back?”

Zhou Shigong was attracted by the movement behind him and subconsciously stopped at the door of the room. After hearing Hai Jiao's question, he couldn't help but show doubts.

He looked at Zhang Pinggui and suddenly remembered what Hai Jiao had just said to him in the study. An idea flashed in his mind and he shouted on the spot: "You are not from Minzhou! You... you are the killer sent by Zhou Shuyi?!"

Zhang Pinggui was suddenly shocked. He didn't know where he had exposed his flaw, but he also knew that he had to leave.He rushed out the door, but was punched by Hai Jiao. He just turned aside to avoid the attack, and had to deal with the second punch from Hai Jiao.

After all, Zhou Shigong was behind the door. When he saw this, he naturally would not stay where he was, preventing Haijiao from capturing the enemy. He immediately went back to the house, blocked his wife, and even grabbed his granddaughter.

Zhang Pinggui and Hai Jiao quickly fought for seven or eight rounds. The more they fought, the more frightened they became. They knew that they would not be able to deal with this young master who had chased him for miles.But if he delays any longer, if the nursing home in the mansion is alerted, they are all veterans from the frontier army. If 30 or [-] people surround him and attack him, he will really not be able to escape!

We must find another way to escape!

From the corner of Zhang Pinggui's eyes, he saw Haitang standing alone and remembered that she was the biological sister of the boy in front of him. If such a delicate little girl fell into his hands, how dare her brother not surrender?
With this in mind, he pushed Haijiao away with a feint, then turned around and quickly attacked Haitang.
