Haijiao sighed, and Haitang could also feel the annoyance in his heart, so she could only try her best to comfort him.

She said: "This kind of thing will never happen again in this life. My brother was very respectful to my aunt before, but he caught Zhang Pinggui in front of her. She was very happy. In the future, you should be more respectful to her. It's enough to make her happy. We can't tell her what happened in the previous life, so we can only try to help her as much as possible in private, which is considered as a reward for her taking in her brother in the previous life. "

Hai Jiao curled his lips: "I naturally appreciate her kindness, but it's a pity that the person she took in was not the real me! That Zhang Pinggui was hiding a traitor in his heart, and he also planned to bring trouble to the third room of the Zhou family. He was basically my aunt's enemy! My aunt treated him well in vain! I don't know how sad she would have been when she knew the truth in her previous life!"

Haitang thought for a moment: "I don't think Zhang Pinggui might have had a good end in his previous life. Calculating the time when Yingchuan Hou Shizi's accident happened, and the time of your arrival in Chang'an, there is almost a year difference, right? Zhang Pinggui has already succeeded. He had fled Ganzhou City. If the Sun family really wanted to take him into the family as an adopted son, they would have recalled him to the capital long ago. He still had to play the role of a young cousin from his in-laws in the third room of the Zhou family, facing the real situation at any time. What is the risk of his master coming to expose him? Moreover, he has been raised fat by his aunt of his own free will. Is it like he will continue to be a killer or a serious official in the Sun family? I am afraid that at that time, he I also want to understand that I am just an abandoned son. It would be fine if the Yingchuan Hou Mansion does not pursue the Zhou family’s third wife, but once they do, he will definitely die! "

Can Du Boqin really let Du Boqin go to great lengths to save an abandoned son and risk being suspected? Instead of wasting that much effort, it would be better to let people die in the third room of the Zhou family. If the Marquis of Yingchuan found out, he would only think that the third brother of the Zhou family was trying to silence him. What does it have to do with Commander Du who lives in Chang'an City and has never had any direct contact with Zhang Pinggui? As for the Sun family in the capital, it is naturally clearer.

Hai Jiao was also a low-level spy. Hearing his sister's analysis, he felt the same way: "That's right. When I heard him talk about the original plan, Du Boqin promised to help Yingchuan Hou identify the third brother of the Zhou family as an enemy. He escaped and left, and I knew as soon as I heard that this was not true. Du Boqin was a mole for the Sun family, and no one has ever discovered it. His identity is very important. Why should he take the risk to save Zhang Pinggui? That promise was just to coax Zhang Pinggui into obedience. .

"As long as Zhang Pinggui succeeds in attracting the hatred of Marquis Yingchuan to the third brother of the Zhou family, he will be useless. Even if Du Boqin once thought that Zhang Pinggui was a descendant of the Sun family, after the death of the Yingchuan Marquis, the Sun family will tell the truth. They will not let the mole who has finally been bribed take the trouble to take risks for an abandoned son. They only need to ensure that Zhang Pinggui will not betray them. Is there any safer way than killing people and silencing them? There are only dead people's mouths in the world. Secrets will be revealed!"

But even so, Hai Jiao still felt deeply annoyed. Zhang Pinggui deserved to die, but why should he drag down irrelevant people? If Zhou Shigong is still responsible for indulging Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi's mother and daughter to do evil, Zhou Ma is completely innocent. Ever since she married into the third room of the Zhou family, she has been cheated by Mrs. Ma, and she has been paying for it all her life. Wouldn't it be too unfair if she was deceived and used just because she cared about her sister's "only grandson", and in the end she even had to bear the blame that she shouldn't bear? !

What's wrong with Mr. Zhou? She just... couldn't bear to see her sister's only surviving "bloodline" wandering outside.

The fault was Mrs. Ma who took advantage of her.

Hai Jiao took a deep breath: "Little sister, I don't want Mrs. Ma to have an easy time. Even if no one in the world knows what happened in her previous life except you and me, I still want her to get retribution!"

Haitang blinked: "Sure. I will help my brother find a solution. Mrs. Ma is also in trouble now. No matter whether it is the third room of the Zhou family or the government of the town, she will not let her go easily. We will mix in and give her some time. If Xiaodi adds some ingredients to make her end more miserable, no one will become suspicious." They just wanted to give a sigh of relief to their aunt Zhou Ma, so what's wrong with that?

But Hai Jiao said: "This matter is my responsibility. It was my negligence in my previous life. It has nothing to do with you, little sister. You don't need to worry about me. I will let Mrs. Ma deceive and drive me away for her." Pay the price!"

Haitang paused and then smiled and said: "Okay! Since my brother said so, I won't care. At most, I will help you go to your aunt and grandma to inquire about some news and talk. After all, you are a man and it is not easy to get in. The inner house is not as convenient as mine. Everything else is decided by my brother. If you need my help, just ask." At this point, she looked at Haijiao seriously, "Brother, don't be polite to me about this kind of thing. My aunt is also my aunt. She is kind to us, so why can’t I help? Mrs. Ma didn’t just bully her in her previous life, she also did bad things in this life!" Haijiao heard this and had no choice but to stop persisting. : "Then as a brother, I'll thank my little sister first."

Haitang rolled her eyes at him: "You are so polite, do you think you don't treat me as one of your family members?"

How can Haijiao dare to say more? He had no choice but to sneak past with a smile.

But then again, in her previous life, Mrs. Ma casually forged the identity of "Zhou Ma's nephew and grandson" to cover up Zhang Pinggui. Is she used to it? Have you had similar experiences before? Carefully check the relatives and acquaintances who have been hosted by the third room of the Zhou family in the past. I wonder if there will be any new gains?

Hai Jiao secretly kept this incident in mind, thinking that he should inquire about the relevant information, but did not say much to Haitang.

Although the younger sister is smarter than the average children of the same age, and even wittier than the average adult, she is still young after all, and her knowledge is limited, and she is not aware of the many twists and turns in the court and the circles of powerful people in the capital. He can't always rely on his little sister to help him with ideas, but should try to solve problems by his own ability. You know, he is the man who has lived in two lives! How can you think about relying on others all day long? My little sister can help him for a while, can she help him forever? !

If he really wants to get ahead in this life, he can't act so useless!

Haitang looked at Haijiao clenching his fists, as if he had made up his mind. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, and stopped asking any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Brother, have you heard this news from your cousin?" ? Is there anything else? Has Zhang Pinggui recruited anyone else? Doesn’t the Zhenguo Government intend to do anything to Du Boqin? "

Hai Jiao came back to his senses and replied: "Although the prestige of the Duke of Guo in the northwest frontier army is extremely high, the commander of the Chang'an vanguard is a senior official of the third rank, and can only be removed by order from the imperial court. During the war, the Zhou family can act expediently, but It was not easy to be good at specializing in the Taiping years. Emperor Deguang's attitude towards the Zhou family has only slightly softened. The Duke of Guo did not want to make him angry, so he planned to take the right path to deal with Du Boqin. "

The method is also very simple. Du Boqin had been in the vanguard of Chang'an for many years. Just from the behavior of the soldiers around him and the way he handled the arrows produced by the bow and arrow workshop, we knew that his hands and feet may not be clean, and there must be problems with his accounts.

In the past, others would turn a blind eye to him because he was the son-in-law of the Zhou family. Now that the Zhou family wants to mess with him, are they afraid that they won't be able to find his pigtails? When a corruption charge is reported, unless Mr. Sun Ge takes the initiative to say that this is a mole he bribed, there will be many people in the court who dislike the Zhou family and will be willing to eliminate a high-ranking son-in-law of the Zhou family. Du Boqin couldn't even complain if he wanted to!

As for other things, Zhang Pinggui has not recruited any other senior officials from Chang'an yet, but the injured killer who was locked up in the prefect's Yamen mentioned a few names.
