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

Chapter 36 Haitang’s idea

Hai Jiao never thought that Hai Tang was asking for information from him, so he naturally fell into deep thought.

After a while, he finally remembered something that gave him a chance to make a contribution: "There was a prince of the Hou Mansion... It should be the Zeng family of the Hou Mansion of Yingchuan. The prince of his family was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he came to Ganzhou to serve, saying He wanted to perform meritorious service on the battlefield like our ancestors did. In fact, no one believed him. At that time, there had been no war in the northwest for two years, and everyone knew that he was just here to get gold..."

This prince Zeng was born into a noble family and had a higher position than others from the moment he arrived.The head of the Zhou family was still in the position of commander of the capital at that time, and he was asked to select a few subordinates who liked him.What does the prince of the Hou family know when he comes here for the first time?It’s not like the family has made arrangements in advance.Among them, there was a hundred households in Ganzhou Guard. I don't know how he got there, but he was successfully transferred to him.As soon as these hundreds of families were happy, they went home early to announce the good news. Unexpectedly, they happened to catch the wife fooling around with the adulterer...

Hai Jiao looked at the innocent eyes of his little sister, swallowed the word "fooling around", and said vaguely: "In short... That Baihu killed his wife and the adulterer in a rage, and later tried to After destroying the corpses and removing traces of them, he moved the two corpses onto the carriage and drove out of the city pretending that nothing was wrong. Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the house, he met his new boss..."

Prince Zeng probably just wanted to say hello to his new subordinate, but the hundred households suspected that he had deliberately blocked the road after finding out about his murder, so they pretended that they had something to discuss with him in secret and coaxed them into the carriage.

The prince of the Hou family was naive and ignorant. After getting into the car and seeing the dead man, he knew something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late and he was stabbed in the back by the hundred households...

The murderer was stopped at the city gate.There were three fresh dead people in the car, and their blood flowed out of the car. The soldiers felt something was wrong when they saw it. When they stopped the car and asked, the hundreds of families jumped out of the car in a hurry and tried to escape. They were crushed to the ground by the crowd, and the bodies in the car were immediately exposed.

The Hou Mansion was greatly shocked. They felt that their heir apparent was killed inexplicably when he was young. He had just arrived in Ganzhou and had not done anything yet. This was all due to the incompetence of the commander and the misdirection of his vicious subordinates to their innocent subordinates. A pure and kind child...

This prince's family seems to have cooperated with Mr. Sun Ge. They found many crimes and dismissed the Zhou family's elder brother from his post, and sent Sun Yonglu to the position of commander of the capital.They also had troubles with the Zhou family of the Zhenguo government and tried every means to suppress the Zhou family. They seemed to regard the Zhou family as their mortal enemies and believed that their son was harmed by the Zhou family.

Although the real murderer was soon sentenced to death, the eldest son of the Zhou family lost his official position, and many people in the northwest frontier army complained on his behalf.Because those hundred households were not in the Zhou family's favor, and it was not known whose path they took to become Zeng Shizi's subordinates. There were also rumors that he gave Sun Yonglu a heavy gift...

It was obvious that he was not the person recommended by Zhou Dalang, but the blame was placed on the betrayed Zhou family. The Yingchuan Houfu actually believed the slanderous words of others.Hai Jiao arrived in Ganzhou some time after the incident, but people around him were fighting for Zhou Dalang, which shows how widespread rumors about the incident were.

Hai Jiao told Hai Tang: "A lot of people have discussed this matter. All the details are complete and there should be no fallacies. If I expose the affair of the wife Hongxing of the hundreds of households in advance, I will run away from the hundreds of households." If I leave, I can prevent the commander of Zhoudu from being framed. If I manage to call away Prince Zeng on the day of the murder, I can save his life and have a chance to get the gratitude of the Hou Mansion afterwards. For this matter, if time does not It’s just a coincidence, if I happen to be in Ganzhou when it happens, I definitely can’t miss it!”

This was his only opportunity in Ganzhou to make meritorious deeds on his own.Whether it is making friends with the eldest son of the Zhou family or the prince of the Hou family, it is a rare opportunity.He didn't expect anything else. He only hoped that the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion would be his backer. In the future, when he arrived in Datong, he would be able to borrow the help of noble people and successfully rescue his benefactor... Haitang saw it deeply. He glanced at Haijiao and said sternly: "Brother, the situation is different now. Sun Yonglu has committed a crime. He will definitely not be able to be promoted to the position of commander in the past few years. Can the murderer Baihu be relied on?" It’s still unknown whether he will be transferred to Prince Zeng!”

As long as that Baihu didn't become Zeng Shizi's subordinate, he wouldn't have killed someone because he came home early and caught his wife having an affair with her adulterer. Zeng Shizi wouldn't have taken the initiative to greet him on the road, but he would have caused a murder for no reason.

Of course, as long as the wife of that hundred households continues to cheat on her in this life, she may be discovered by her husband at any time, and her husband may kill him in anger at any time.Haijiao can expose this matter in advance, but what does this have to do with the Zhou family and the prince of the Hou family?Why is he so sure that he can win the gratitude of two powerful people?Before the incident happened, they would not know what kind of crisis they had passed by, and of course they would not know how much the reef had helped them.

Hai Jiao was stunned when he heard this, and then wiped his face in frustration: "That's all, I just said that I can't go to Ganzhou, so I'd better find a way to stay in Suzhou City!"

"If my brother is determined to stay in Suzhou City, I have an idea..." Haitang approached Haijiao and lowered her voice, "Tomorrow morning, you go to your cousin and tell him, you know what grandpa wants I am sending you to Ganzhou Health School because I am worried that if you stay in Suzhou, you will inevitably have to deal with spies and you will encounter danger sooner or later..."

Hai Jiao was startled and then realized: "That's it! Grandpa was worried that I would encounter danger, so he planned to send me to Ganzhou to study. Compared with Suzhou, Ganzhou is naturally safer..."

Haitang continued: "Brother, you can tell your cousin that although your cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu all hope that you can take the imperial examination and take a safer and more stable path, and return to your hometown to live a better life in the future, our family is Every generation of a military household must have someone serve in the army. Grandpa is getting old. He will last two or three years at most before he retires and returns to his hometown. Dad has passed away. If your grandson does not join the army, then what will happen to the Hai family? Who should inherit the military position?"

Hai Jiao was startled and said in a low voice: "If I can't join the army and serve in the army, and my second uncle is not a member of the Hai family or a military household, then I can only... let the clan members from my hometown take over, right?" But Yongping Mansion How many of the Hai family in your hometown are trustworthy?As long as there is a young talent who can take advantage of it, how could the aunt be so weak in her previous life and have to struggle on her own?

Clan from home?
Haitang blinked. She knew nothing about this matter and simply ignored it: "So, you tell your cousin that you have grown up and are old enough to share the worries of your family. You are not going to escape from your own problems. Responsibilities, whether it is doing civil service in the army or going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you can do it. Now it is meaningless to study the Four Books and Five Classics. You don’t want to continue to memorize and write articles. If your cousin is willing to teach you, you would rather learn the art of war... "

"Ah!" Haijiao reacted instantly.He had only learned basic military common sense and simple martial arts of horseback riding and archery. He had heard some battlefield stories from his family, but he had never received a serious military education.If now he expresses his ambition to his elders, officially abandons literature and joins martial arts, and starts learning tactics and warfare... that will be a brand new course!

He just started from scratch and no longer had to worry about previous lessons!
