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

Chapter 272

Of course Hai Jiao did not agree to Jin Jiashu's sudden request when parting.

Although he never rejected Jin Jiashu directly, Hai Jiao still used words to stop him.

There are quite good reasons. For example, Mrs. Jin Er has just been arrested, and Jin Xin is focused on trying to save his mother, and has no intention of caring about him. Another example is that Jin Liu and Aunt Jin are still in prison and cannot see anyone. Another example is that Jin The second brother-in-law of the family is in trouble now. If he sees Jin Jiashu, the person who is suffering, he will definitely entangle him and coerce the latter to give up pursuing them for killing his mother...

All in all, now is not a good time for Jin Jiashu to meet with the second wife of the Jin family. We will wait and see.

Hai Jiao also said to Jin Jiashu: "You have difficulty moving now, and you can only take two steps away when you encounter a killer. What if someone from the second room of the Jin family bullies you? You can't even escape, right? Although I will definitely accompany you. I can see them by your side, but I can't follow you twelve hours a day. If the person named the second roommate of the Jin family knows where you are and gets entangled with you in the future, how can you recuperate? You are not afraid that this leg will not be able to support you. Well, you will become a lame in the future?! That would be such a loss! You will have a great future in the future, why should you sacrifice yourself for the beast of the second brother of the Jin family?!"

After hearing this, Jin Jiashu was both amused and moved, and no longer insisted on meeting the second roommate of the Jin family immediately. But Hai Jiao felt that he definitely hadn't given up yet.

Hai Jiao said to his sister Haitang: "This kid is a bit stubborn. He wants to accomplish something, but he doesn't want to confess the truth to me, so he has to find a way on his own. But with his appearance now, what solution can he come up with? I'm really afraid that he'll ruin his injuries by messing around, and he'll have troubles in the future that will make him regret it for the rest of his life. I have to worry about it for him. If it really works out, I can take the opportunity to arrange a good place. , let him meet the people in the second room of the Jin family, and then I will quietly hide nearby and eavesdrop."

I already know where Haijiao will be arranged. He now knows all the street shops in Chang'an City quite well, and he knows which store's structure is most suitable for his spy business.

Haitang laughed at him: "Brother is obviously warm-hearted, but he refuses to tell the truth to Jin Jiashu, and deliberately pretends that he has selfish motives. In fact, you don't really care about the identity of that woman." Hai Jiao Ben I felt that it was enough to find out the dark history of the second roommate of the Jin family. It was Haitang who wanted to dig deeper. He just doted on his sister.

Hearing this, Hai Jiao rubbed his nose and said, "Don't you want to know? Of course, my brother will find a way to let you know. If you say that eavesdropping is not good, then let's stay far away and let Jin Jiashu follow the others alone. Let’s talk.”

Isn’t this still helping Jin Jiashu? Hai Jiao said he refused, but in fact he was already planning to realize the former's wish.

Haitang didn't understand: "Brother, why didn't you tell the truth to Jin Jiashu? It also saved him from having to think of a solution on his own. God knows what trouble he would cause?"

Hai Jiao said, "I'm not completely sure either. What if the government office refuses to let Mrs. Jin Liu and Aunt Jin out, or the second room of the Jin family refuses to see Jin Jiashu unless he agrees to intercede for Mrs. Jin Er? ? Isn’t that embarrassing? If he agrees, he will feel uncomfortable; if he doesn’t agree, he won’t be able to find out what he wants to know. Rather than letting him worry about it, I might as well find a way to arrange it first, and then give it to him. A surprise.

"It's better than me making a guarantee with him in the first place, but then turning around and failing to get anything done. It's like my friend is very incompetent. As for him struggling on his own... He can't even leave the room now, so what else can he do? What happened? It's just instructing others to run errands. If you really want to go through trouble, you have to wait until he can walk out. And before that, there must have been results on my side." Haijiao's words are not bragging. He has Huang Baotou's network, and he can find out the news from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion through his cousin Xie Wenzai, which is better than others trying their best to find out the gossip from the government office or on the street. Now that the New Year is approaching, after he finishes helping out at home, he goes out and runs around.

The streets were very lively, and gossip news about the Jin family's case or the Du family's lawsuit was circulating everywhere in the teahouses and taverns. Many of them came from the officials or soldiers who handled them, and they were very true. Haijiao walked around the streets and then around Huang Datou's house to get to know a few more clerks, government servants, jailers or their family members who looked familiar to him. After chatting for two or three quarters of an hour, all kinds of news came naturally. The sound reached his ears.

In the process of collecting intelligence, Hai Jiao also noticed that there was another group of people inquiring about the second room of the Jin family. These people looked quite familiar to him. At least half of them were young people he introduced to Jin Jiashu to run errands. The remaining half were also old and young people who usually hang out with the young errand boys. Hai Jiao suspected that they were here on Jin Jiashu's orders, so he called one of the most familiar people from the past to ask: "Why are you back in the city? Don't you have to do the errands for Zhuangzi?"

The errand boy said with a smile: "The funeral of Master Jin's family has been taken care of. Now we only need to leave someone to help guard the coffin, burn incense and make offerings every day. This is an easy job, so we call it the Liu family's Old Cripple Uncle went to work and earned more money and food. Master Jin agreed and allowed Old Cripple Uncle to live directly in the temple without having to go back and forth every day. Master Jin also paid for the rent of the temple house."

He didn't say what he was doing in the city, so Hai Jiao had to ask again. Hai Jiao knew very well what the progress of the Jin family's funeral was, so why did he need to elaborate?

The boy who ran the errands was still smiling: "We just wander around and listen to other people's fun. If someone is willing to hire us to do things, we can earn some pocket money along the way."

However, Hai Jiao knew how they acted when they were employed on the street. Now they were clearly purposefully seeking information and were even willing to spend money to buy information. They must have accepted Jin Jiashu's new commission. How could he be betrayed by him? Easily coaxed over?

But this young man has always been tight-lipped. If he hadn't had this benefit, Haijiao wouldn't have recommended him to Jin Jiashu. Since he refused to tell the truth, Haijiao didn't force him. He just went to a nearby acquaintance's house to borrow pen and paper and hurriedly wrote a letter and asked the young man to send it back to Jin Jiashu.

Although these young errand boys are very familiar with the situation in Chang'an City, they usually only help the errand boys to pass messages and buy things. They go to the government offices to inquire about news about lawsuits, or pay people to talk. This is not their usual habit. Good job. In the past two days, they have been wandering around the government office and the old temple. Someone has noticed them. Among them is Jin Wu, the second roommate of the Jin family. It would be bad if they were spotted.

There are many people who know that they are employed by Jin Jiashu, and not all of them are tight-lipped. Right now, the second room of the Jin family is too distracted to care about anything else. When they calm down one day and discover the clue of the errand boy from Jin Wu, and follow the clues to find Jin Jiashu, trouble will follow.

Hai Jiao simply wrote the latest news about the second room of the Jin family that he had learned in the letter, and added a few words of persuasion, telling Jin Jiashu not to be impatient and to recuperate himself first.

The Chang'an government office is now on New Year's holiday, and the New Year is coming soon, and no one will be doing official business at this time. Naturally, prisoners in prison can only continue to stay in prison. If Mrs. Jin Liu and Aunt Jin want to be released from prison, they have to wait until after the new year. Old Mrs. Jin Er and Jin Miao will have to wait until then for a trial. If you go to inquire now, you won't find any useful information. It's just a waste of money, and it will easily attract the attention of the second roommate of the Jin family.

When the New Year passed and the Chang'an government office reopened for business, Jin Jiashu's injury improved and he could go out for a walk. When the time comes, whether he wants to meet his enemies or get information, all his friends can do is accompany him.
