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

Zhang Pinggui's shamelessness and cunning are despised, but his stupidity and arrogance are also sighing.

How confident is he that he thinks he is good enough and will not be silenced by the Sun family afterwards, but will be accepted as a member of the family?

If the Sun family really has a branch of the family that needs an heir, and the whole family has many young people to choose from, why should Zhang Pinggui, an outsider with a stained background and resume, be given the advantage?If you really want to reward him, a sum of money will be enough.Of course, the cost of a glass of poisoned wine will be lower, and it will not easily leave hidden dangers afterwards.

Hai Jiao could only say: "No one in his life has really taught him how to be worldly. When he was a child, his father taught him Qinggong and martial arts, and his mother taught him reading, accounting, and the rules of a wealthy family. When he grew up, he became a kind-hearted scholar. He only taught him some poems and articles intermittently. Zhou Shuyi only wanted him to be a snitch, and the Sun family only wanted him to be a mole. Who would have the patience to teach him? He only felt that he was smart and capable, and even powerful people like the Sun family could not They offered good terms to win him over, but they have never really seen the dangers of the world. He probably feels that the suffering he has experienced is rare in the world."

But in fact, although Zhang Pinggui encountered many bad people, there were also many good ones.If Zhou Shuyi hadn't been adopted by a kind-hearted farmer in Zhuangzi, and the teacher in a nearby village was willing to let him eavesdrop on the lessons, how could he have grown up safely, read and write, and be qualified to claim to be smart and talented?But he didn't seem to think that this was the kindness of others, but that he had won it with his own intelligence.

Hai Jiao said to his sister: "Listening to his narration of past misfortunes, I can't help but think of my previous life. In my previous life, before leaving Suzhou and after returning to my hometown, I could have encountered several encounters like him. A kind-hearted countryman, I don’t have to escape thousands of miles with a narrow escape. But I was so miserable and embarrassed that I never thought about becoming a bandit and a murderer. He had obviously been helped by kind-hearted people, so why did he take the initiative to go astray? "

Haitang said softly: "This is of course because my brother and Zhang Pinggui are not the same kind of people in nature. My brother is a gentleman. No matter how difficult the situation is, he will work hard and earn a way for himself. But Zhang Pinggui is greedy for life and afraid of death. , A person who follows the trend of others, even if he meets kind-hearted people to help him, his roots are crooked and he will not be able to grow into a towering tree. Brother, there is no need to compare myself with Zhang Pinggui. How can he be compared with you? "

Hai Jiao laughed when he heard this: "That's true. I really don't need to belittle myself. In my previous life, even if I worked as a secret agent and could not get any publicity, I also worked for the government and received money and salary from Jinyiwei. Who is Zhang Pinggui? ? It sounds nice to be a lackey of the powerful, but in fact he is just a shady killer. "

Haitang felt that using the words "killer and dead soldier" to describe Zhang Pinggui was not accurate enough.He was ordered to come to the northwest to kill people, but in fact he had never killed anyone.In his previous life, he had never done anything. The person who killed Prince Yingchuan was the Baihu who killed his wife. He completed the task without doing anything.Does he deserve to be called a "killer"?When he fell into the hands of the Hai family brothers and sisters, he never thought of committing suicide and fulfilling his duty as a "dead soldier"!
Hai Jiao smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, he is indeed not a killer, let alone a dead soldier. When the Jin family was killed, he was only responsible for looking after the horses. When the killers went to kill Jin Jiashu, he was only responsible for inquiring. According to the news, he is still staying at Dujiazhuangzi later. He has indeed never killed anyone seriously. We called him the eighth killer at the beginning because we were giving him a thumbs up."

Hai Jiao also talked about a little news told by Zhang Pinggui.

Zhang Pinggui confessed to Du Boqin, who was indeed an ally that the Sun family had won over in the northwest frontier army, and who was bribed by Sun Yonglu during his time in the frontier army.Zhang Pinggui has been hiding in the Du family village since he followed other killers to the vicinity of Chang'an. He claimed that he was a descendant of a branch of the Sun family. He came here to experience and accept the test. He also revealed to Du Boqin himself that after the Jin family had trouble, He will enter the border army incognito and perform a secret mission. Please take care of Du Boqin.

Du Boqin only thought that he was like Sun Yonglu, who was assigned to the northwest frontier army by the Sun family. He hid his identity just to avoid attracting the attention of the Zhou family, and really took care of him like a nephew...

Even a group of dead soldiers sent by the Sun family to Chang'an in advance for other tasks believed that Zhang Pinggui was a descendant of the Sun family and regarded him as an important nobleman of the master's family.

When the veterans of the Zhou family entered the village to search for people, these dead soldiers did not hesitate to expose their identities in order to cover Zhang Pinggui's escape.At that time, they really thought that Zhang Pinggui's surname was Sun and that he would never be caught by the Zhou family. They had no idea that he had just borrowed his "future" identity in advance and was actually the same person as them...

Haitang couldn't help but laugh and cry: "If Du Boqin knew that he had been deceived by a little person like Zhang Pinggui, and because he leaked the biggest secret, how would he feel?"

Hai Jiao smiled: "Whatever he thinks, when he chose to betray the Zhou family and the Northwest Frontier Army, he should have expected that such a day would come." Haitang thought for a while: "It seems that Zhang Pinggui's explanation is quite detailed. Yes, you should be able to win the trust of Marquis Yingchuan, right?"

Haijiao nodded.Although Prince Yingchuan has not yet come to the northwest and the so-called assassination plan has not yet been revealed, Zhou Shuyi and the Huangquesun family behind her have already begun to plan the whole thing. In order to clear the suspicion in the future, they have done A lot of preparation.These things leave traces.If the Marquis of Yingchuan and his wife were willing to investigate, it would not be difficult to find clues.

Even if they don't investigate, all they need to do is mention the marriage date between Prince Yingchuan and Miss Sun, and sooner or later the Sun family will reveal their faults.However, in this case, the personal safety of Prince Yingchuan was no longer guaranteed.God knows what methods the Sun family will resort to if they are forced to do so.
Haitang hesitated: "If something like this happened, Marquis Yingchuan would not send his son to the northwest for training, right?"

"That is something that Marquis Yingchuan needs to consider. There is no need for us to worry about him." Hai Jiao glanced at his sister and couldn't help showing joy in his eyes, "The Duke of Zhen Guo praised me today. The old military advisor also said so. Many words of encouragement to me. To be honest, if my grandpa and grandma had not been thinking about returning to my hometown, and my cousin and uncle also wanted to return to Beijing, I really think it would be good to stay in Chang'an. As long as the northwest frontier army is still under the control of the marshals and generals of the Zhou family , I may have a better future here, at least better than in my hometown."

Haitang raised an eyebrow: "Brother, don't you miss that benefactor from Datong?"

Hai Jiao's face turned slightly red: "Grandpa Zhuang Shitong is still here. With him in charge, how can people in Datong dare to bully Miss Zhuang? If Grandpa Zhuang directly brought his granddaughter to Chang'an, I wouldn't need to go to Datong. .”

Haitang glanced at her brother: "That depends on your ability. If you can persuade Grandpa Zhuang to pick up his granddaughter, that would be great. As for Grandpa and Grandma... Grandpa is thinking about returning to his hometown, but Grandma is eager to go back to his hometown. She has been staying in Chang'an. After all, this is her hometown."

Hai Jiao listened and nodded slightly, feeling a little annoyed.Grandparents, whose side should he be on?

But it's all little things.

Now that the biggest pitfall of the Zhou family in the previous life has been solved, the traitor Du Boqin has also been exposed, the Marquis of Yingchuan will no longer be an enemy of the Zhou family, but will soon turn against the Sun family... Everything is moving in the right direction.Haijiao feels that the future will be brighter as well.

He took a deep breath of the cold fresh air: "Tomorrow, I will go find Jin Jiashu and find a way to win over Xu Xianfei first!"

Haitang blinked: "Speaking of which...does Zhang Pinggui know why the Sun family wanted to kill the Jin family?"
