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

Chapter 353 Plan

Another high-ranking military attache who is about to take office in Chang'an is named Zeng Qingxi. It is said that he was originally the commander of Jinwu's rear guard and is expected to become the new commander of Chang'an's vanguard.

In other words, he and General Thursday, who are currently in charge of the Chang'an avant-garde, exchanged positions with each other.

However, General Zhou was transferred from the local second-grade capital commander to the commander of the third-grade guard in the capital. He was promoted in name but secretly promoted. From then on, he would become an important minister of the imperial army in front of the emperor.

Zeng Qingxi, on the other hand, was the third-rank commander of the Zhengsan Guards who had been closely affiliated with the army. The "level transfer" of the Zhengsanshi Commander of the local guard station was no different from being demoted. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is definitely not an equal exchange of positions.

Zeng Qingxi did not make any mistakes, and he was considered to be quite popular in the past. He will accept this appointment, naturally he has his own considerations.

Hai Jiao told Haitang: "Although Zeng Qingxi's surname is Zeng and he is closely related to the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, he is not actually a flesh and blood of the Zeng family, but an adopted son. He is an orphan adopted by the previous Yingchuan Marquis. When he was young, he was the current Yingchuan Marquis. He was raised by the Marquis's bodyguard and attendant. 'Zeng' is the given surname. His wife is the dowry girl of Mrs. Yingchuan Marquis. She grew up in the same place, and she just took the name of a adopted sister when she got married."

Haijiao knew the news about Zeng Qingxi because he had been transferred to the northwest frontier army and fought for two years in his previous life. His performance when defending the border against the enemy was also remarkable. A general that the army can also recognize. He also disliked Sun Yonglu's behavior. Later, someone came to visit Sun Yonglu, so he got involved a lot.

In his previous life, Marquis Yingchuan was deceived by the Sun family and regarded them as close allies to jointly deal with the Zhou family. If Zeng Qingxi hadn't interfered and created a rift between the two families, perhaps the Marquis of Yingchuan would have been taken all the way to the ditch by Sun Gelao. Although later the new king came to power and Marquis Yingchuan was no longer the most important general, the Zeng family did not suffer a tragic decline and was able to draw a clear line with the Sun family. This was partly due to Zeng Qingxi's contribution.

Haijiao still remembers that the prince of Marquis Yingchuan died tragically in Ganzhou in his previous life. Marquis Yingchuan could only let his concubine inherit the title, and there were many objections. At that time, it was Zeng Qingxi who fully supported Zeng Shuming, the concubine of the Marquis of Yingchuan. Zeng Shuming was later introduced to the new monarch by Zeng Qingxi and became one of the generals of the Forbidden Army, supporting the family business of the Yingchuan Hou Mansion.

After listening to Hai Jiao's words, Haitang finally figured out the personal background of "Zeng Qingxi". He was not from the same family as the Sun family. Now that the great-grandson family has become enemies, he is even less likely to be used by the Sun family. This is also good news.

Both Emperor Deguang and Marquis Yingchuan seemed to have deliberately selected candidates who had a bad relationship with the Sun family. Does this imply that they currently have goodwill towards the Zhou family, and that the Sun family is becoming less and less trusted by the emperor in Beijing?

Haitang retracted her thoughts and asked Hai Jiao in a low voice: "This Zeng Qingxi was sent by the Marquis of Yingchuan to investigate the matter of the third wife of the Zhou family, right? But it was just an investigation. Is it necessary to directly transfer someone to take up the post? In name, he is a level transfer, but in fact he is Demoted? Does Zeng Qingxi have no complaints? "

Hai Jiao thought for a while: "He was raised by the Zeng family. He was able to serve as a third-rank official in the Forbidden Army thanks to the promotion of Marquis Yingchuan. Although he was a subject of the emperor, he also regarded himself as a retainer of the Zeng family. , how can he complain? After all, he will return to the capital after he has finished what he needs to do. With the support of Marquis Yingchuan, he is still afraid that he will not be promoted? "

On the contrary, the position of Chang'an avant-garde commander helps him act flexibly. When necessary, it would not be difficult for him to be transferred to the command of the Minzhou Guard.

Haitang understood clearly: "What does brother mean, that he might be harmful to Zhou Shicheng, the son of Mrs. Ma?"

"Who knows?" Hai Jiao sighed, "Mrs. Ma helped Zhou Shuyi assassinate Prince Yingchuan. Although it failed, how could the Marquis of Yingchuan and his wife not be afraid? Zhou Shuyi and the others could take revenge, but Zhou Shuyi's husband, children, etc. They are flesh and blood of the Zeng family, how could they still be ruthless? In this case, Zhou Shicheng is the only candidate who can make Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi heartbroken at the same time, right? Although my great-uncle always felt that his brother was innocent, He is not the same person as his biological mother and sister, but he himself has been deceived by Mrs. Ma and her daughter. How can he be accurate in what he says? Anyway, the Marquis of Yingchuan wants to take revenge on Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi at the same time, and target the people they care about. It's the simplest. If the Zhou family wants to protect their nephew, they may not kill him, but Zhou Shicheng will definitely suffer." Zeng Qingxi came to the northwest in person to avoid entanglement with the Zhou family. Unless Zhou Shicheng was careful and never made mistakes, Zeng Qingxi could always find opportunities for revenge while staying in the Northwest Frontier Army. If you can't kill someone, can't you let the sufferer breathe a sigh of relief?

I'm afraid that if the Zhenguo Government finds out later that the Zeng family did it on purpose, they will put the overall situation first and turn a blind eye to the matter.

Haitang breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, what happened to Zhou Shicheng has nothing to do with us. As long as my aunt and grandma's room is safe and sound, it will be fine. Yijun was also worried before, and this is how Wenjun comforted her."

Hai Jiao said: "If cousin Yijun hears the news from Miss Wenjun, it's best not to tell her grandparents too much. If my aunt and uncle can survive the Zeng family's revenge in ignorance, that's The most ideal. Otherwise, if my great-uncle is worried about his brother and wants to intervene to save people, wouldn't he be facing the Zeng family again? What can he do? In the end, it will only make the Zhenguo Duke's government come forward. This makes Zhenguo Gong and his son How to answer? Whether you should or should not is a troublesome matter."

Haitang nodded in understanding: "I will go back to the house and write a letter to Yijun. She was left to stay at the Zhenguo Palace today by Wenjun's sister. She will not go home for the time being. She probably hasn't had time to send the news home yet. "

Hai Jiao smiled and said: "Okay, then you can go. Today, I have worked hard to find out the news. I know what I have to do next, and I feel much more at ease."

Haitang said: "Anyway, if there is something inconvenient to discuss with the elders, my brother will come to me. I will also tell my grandfather and cousin about the news about Tu Rong and Zeng Qingxi in the evening. Sister Wenjun will leave a message for me next time, I will try to find out more information."

She stood up: "Brother, don't just think about what you want to do. Your day to enter health school is very close, and you can't delay your homework. Otherwise, grandpa and cousin will get angry and won't allow you to go out at will. What should we do? Besides, the arrangements for Jin Jiashu are almost done, right? When will he come to our house? When he comes, you will always be by his side. "

Speaking of this, Hai Jiao became a little frustrated: "I don't know how my cousin negotiated with the Zhenguo government. They went to Jin Jiashu to make arrangements themselves, and didn't call me at all. I originally wanted to be Jin Jiashu's stand-in, They thought I was too tall and too strong, so they found another person who was similar in age and build to Jin Jiashu but had strong martial arts skills, but they didn't tell me who it was.

"They are also afraid that there are too many old, weak, women and children in the three-bedroom villa. They are worried that the Sun family's spies will hurt people. They are also afraid that the villa is surrounded by people in all directions and it is easy for people to escape, so they don't want to set up traps there. The old military advisor is looking for people in the suburbs outside the city. They went to a remote Zhuangzi and set up a secret sentry. They planned to send Jin Jiashu there first and show his face in front of people, so as to spread the news and let people know that he had moved into a new house. If the Sun family's spies were not sure where Zhuangzi lived, It’s the real owner, I’m afraid he won’t be deceived so easily and take the initiative to fall into the trap.”

This plan sounds quite complicated.

Haitang was a little curious: "How do they plan to reveal the news to the Sun family's spies? Are they using the two correctional nuns?"

Hai Jiao said with a smile: "There is no other way except them. I heard that they are recently exploring the former strongholds of the Sun family's eyes and ears one by one. I want to let them know the news about Jin Jiashu without arousing their suspicion. My cousin put a lot of thought into this."
