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

Chapter 366 Mr. Cai

Subsequent news continued to be sent to Xie Wenzai by special personnel.

Hai Jiao stayed at his cousin's public house. Whenever there was new news, he would run to Jin Jiashu in the second courtyard and tell him the latest news.

Considering that his younger sister Haitang would also ask him for information, in order to save trouble, he simply called his younger sister over to listen together. In order to save trouble, Haitang simply stayed in the second courtyard. When Hai Jiao was away, she was tinkering with her flowers and plants in the yard. When Hai Jiao came, she went into the house to listen to the information with Jin Jiashu.

And Jin Jiashu also discovered that his friend Hai Jiao, who seemed to be just an average smart and clever person in front of him, always seemed to be extra smart and clever in front of his sister Haitang. Not only could he analyze the information in an orderly manner, but all kinds of speculations also sounded very reliable. He is almost twice as smart as usual.

In the past, he always felt that although Hai Jiao, a good friend, was smart and capable, he could still hide his biggest secret due to his ability, and he seemed to be sure that he could convince his good friend to act on his own ideas. But today, his thoughts were somewhat shaken. He felt that Haijiao was not as easy to deceive as he thought. Did he really hide the secret that he thought he had concealed from Haijiao?

Looking back at Haitang, who is not so familiar, she seems to be as smart as her brother Hai Jiao, and is more careful and calm than Hai Jiao. Many times, things that Hai Jiao ignores cannot escape her eyes, and she can always remind Hai Jiao. Pay attention to those inconspicuous people or things, and avoid his omissions.

It seems that Hai Jiao is just here to tell him the latest news about Jin Jiashu. In fact, he will get reminders and suggestions from his younger sister Haitang, and bring them back to his cousin Xie Wenzai in the front yard, and feed them back to the people in charge of the Zhou and Tang families.

Jin Jiashu could occasionally make one or two small suggestions, which were adopted by the people in charge of the Zhou and Tang families. He began to feel that he was not just waiting for other people's arrangements, but actually participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Sun family, and he was useful. But at the same time, he became increasingly quiet in front of the Hai family brothers and sisters. He no longer spoke lightly about things he was unsure about. He did not dare to try the testing methods that he had used many times in the past.

Because he was afraid that his new friends would discover his hidden agenda, and he would no longer be able to get along with the Hai brothers and sisters calmly in the future.

Hai Jiao was completely focused on the encirclement and suppression operations of the Zhou and Tang families. He was too busy analyzing the intelligence, so how could he care about anything else? He didn't notice Jin Jiashu's silence today, but Haitang did.

Although she didn't guess what Jin Jiashu was thinking, she felt that it was not good for the brother and sister to just talk and ignore the third person in the room, so she tried to invite him to join her discussion with her brother: "Brother Jin, you Any ideas?"

Jin Jiashu raised his head and blinked, his eyes showing a bit of confusion.

He was a little distracted just now and didn't hear clearly what the Hai family brothers and sisters were saying.

Haijiao didn't take it seriously. Everyone has experienced such a thing as being distracted. He readily repeated the information he just said once again.

The battle on Zhuangzi outside the city has been over for most of the day, and now only the aftermath is left. Most of the captured Sun family spies were desperadoes with unclear origins. Even if these people are sent to the prefect's yamen, they can still find out many old cases without fear of wrongly accusing anyone. As for the remaining people, they seemed to be well-dressed and apparently good citizens. Among them was the man who claimed to be a Jinyiwei spy, so they were a bit difficult to deal with. The Zhenguo government had already controlled these people, and the Tang family was a little unwilling to get one of them, so they focused on the few fish that had slipped through the net.

The fish that slipped through the net were masked last night, and the Tang family doesn't know who they are yet, but there are still several spies in the city who are responsible for tracking Haijiao and Zhou Yijun, people who raise pigeons, and two nurturing mothers and them. maid. The Tang family keeps a close eye on them and can always find some clues by following the clues.

The pigeon farmer has not yet discovered that he has been exposed. After the spies tracking Hai Jiao and Zhou Yijun determined their "target" and returned home last night, they went to find the pigeon breeder and used carrier pigeons to notify their accomplices outside the city, making them think that they had waited for a good opportunity and besieged "Jin Jiashu" overnight. Went to Xiaozhuangzi. After the operation failed, the pigeon breeder did not receive any homing pigeons. He himself did not know what happened outside the city, and he had not contacted other accomplices. As for the spies responsible for tracking Hai Jiao and Zhou Yijun, after spending the night at the pigeon breeder's place, they moved in the direction of the correctional mama's residence. However, they did not come to the door, but entered a nearby small house. .

It was also at this time that the Tang family discovered that their people had missed the Sun family's spies' new stronghold in the city.

They didn't know who was in the new stronghold or what the Sun family spies said in the new stronghold. They just watched from a distance and guessed from the calm atmosphere of the other party that they were aware of what happened outside the city. Nothing is known.

The soldiers of the Tang family quickly and secretly controlled the pigeon breeder. At the same time, they set up a dragnet at the pigeon breeder's home, waiting for someone to come to their door automatically.

Until noon, they didn't expect anyone to come to the door. Instead, they did expect a pigeon with a letter tied to its leg.

The letter was written very concisely. The words were written with charcoal, crookedly, and stained with blood. It was obviously sent in a hurry. The letter said that their operation had failed, that the person in Zhuangzi was not the target himself, and that the suspect was a trap. He told his friends in the city to leave as soon as possible, and that they should pay special attention to protecting "Cai Ye" from returning safely.

The people of the Tang family were a little surprised. The enemy didn't even enter the house in Zhuangzi, and they actually found that the person in the house was a substitute, not Jin Jiashu himself. But this is not the point. The point is - who is "Master Cai"?

Is this an important boss? Why haven't you heard anyone mention it before? What is his status in the Sun family? What status? If we catch him, will we be able to attack the Sun family?

The most important thing is, where is "Master Cai" now?

Among the Sun family's troops currently staying in Chang'an City, there are mainly two groups, namely the training mothers and their maids, and the people in the new stronghold. The former are all female relatives, so is "Master Cai" in the new stronghold? If he is used as bait, will the escaped person come to his door?

The people monitoring the new stronghold also reported back at this time. There seemed to be seven or eight people in the new stronghold. One of the leaders was about forty years old. He seemed to be dressed and behaved in a decent manner. He claimed to be a businessman from Zhongyuan, but More like a domestic slave or steward in a wealthy family in the capital.

News also came from the prefect's Yamen that the new stronghold was a house that was rented just two days ago, and the tenant was a wealthy businessman from outside. That was just after the correctional mothers went out of the city to meet with their accomplices.

This group of people claimed to have come to Chang'an City to purchase goods, but they had not been to the market or glass workshop for two days after entering the city. They only sent people to inquire about information in the surrounding streets. Compared with the common specialties from the Western Regions and the newly released glassware that are in short supply in Chang'an City, they are more concerned about the news about the two nuns and want to know who they have come into contact with since they came out of the Tang family.

This kind of behavior is more like surveillance and snooping than concern for his companions.

The correctional nuns had obviously met other Sun family spies outside the city, so why did it seem like their colleagues didn't trust them now?

The soldiers of the Tang family are still monitoring the two places, the Correctional Mammy and the new stronghold, waiting for anyone who comes to look for them, and also guarding against any one of them escaping secretly. Unfortunately, one day has almost passed, and there has been no new movement from these two parties.

After Hai Jiao repeatedly introduced the current situation, he repeated the question asked by his younger sister: "Xiao Jin, what do you think? What are the Sun family people doing now? Is there internal strife?"
