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

Chapter 454 Difficult to Meet

Haijiao was in a bad mood.

Although he could understand that Jin Jiashu had his own secrets and would hide them from the people around him, he thought he was already a good friend of Jin Jiashu and could make suggestions for the other party. He didn't expect to be kept in the dark, and he was a little bit shocked.

Haitang comforted him and said, "This is normal. There is a secret about his life experience, and we will know it because, brother, you have the memory of a previous life. But he doesn't know that we know his secret, and it is human nature to hide it from us. This is not his alone, it involves Concubine Xu Xian and the Eighth Prince, and even the Queen Mother and the Emperor are involved. How could he just reveal the secret to you just because he trusts you, brother?"

Hai Jiao sighed: "I understand too. It's just..." He paused and stopped talking, "Well, I also have something to hide from him, and I'm not frank with him at all. Since I'm a friend If you are not sincere, how can you have the nerve to complain that he is hiding something from me? "

He put aside the entanglements in his heart and was just worried about Jin Jiashu: "What is he going to say to the second roommate of the Jin family? Don't let those people notice the secret in his heart. Although the second roommate of the Jin family does not seem to know Jin Juren's first wife What happened to Mrs. Xu? They just thought she was dead, but after all, they all knew that Mrs. Xu never left the palace and went home. In the past, Jin Juren was covering her up, so they might not think much about it, but now they are facing a desperate situation. They will definitely seize every opportunity to save themselves. If they find any clues, it will be troublesome to threaten Xiao Jin. He may have concerns about Concubine Xu Xian’s true relationship..."

Haitang thought for a while: "Jin's house is so close to our house. Even if Jin Jiashu moves away, anyone who wants to walk to his house from the alley must pass through our door first. Brother, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it. . If the people from the second room of the Jin family really come to the door, I will keep an eye on them secretly to prevent them from threatening Jin Jiashu."

Hai Jiao smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say. It may not be difficult for you to go out, but why do you always run to Xiao Jin's house for no reason?"

Haitang was confident: "There is only a wall between the back garden of Jin's house and ours, and there are jujube trees that can lend support. If I want to go to Jin's house, I don't have to go through the door, I can just jump on the wall. Anyway, lately Putao is helping the second aunt, and Ma Changli's daughter-in-law is always called to the upper room by Aunt Ma to help grandma. If I find an excuse to put away the pomegranate, I will be the only one left in the backyard, and no one will notice. "

After hearing this, Hai Jiao couldn't help but think of how he saw his little sister jumping on the backyard wall to practice her balance when she was doing her luck in the morning. She immediately let go of her worries.

He also asked his little sister: "Do you need weapons? If you do, just use the swords, guns, bows and arrows in my room. Anyway, with your strength, you can do it."

Haitang smiled and waved her hand: "No need, I have a riding crop. If you use a sharp weapon, if too much blood is produced, it will be too troublesome to clean up afterwards."

Hai Jiao didn't think the conversation between the brother and sister was weird. Instead, he thought it made sense. He didn't say anything more and just reminded his little sister: "I will go home as soon as possible after school these days. If anything happens to Xiao Jin, If you don't have time to call me, go to the alley and call someone. In the past few days, grandma has spread the story of Xiao Jin among the people in the alley. Everyone sympathizes with Xiao Jin and is angry that the second wife of the Jin family is not a good person. If someone dares to come to bully Xiao Jin, you only need to shout and someone from the neighbors will come to help. Although your martial arts skills are good, little sister, after all, there is only one person. It is better to have a few helpers than to deal with it alone. Everyone in the second room of the Jin family must be strong."

Haitang felt that the second wife of the Jin family might not be so bold, but she still accepted her brother's proposal.

During the day of the next day, when the family went to work and school, Haitang stayed in the front yard on the pretext of helping clean up the room vacated by the elders after they moved out, paying careful attention to what was going on outside. In addition, the door is always ajar, so that Aunt Cui and her people can go to Jin's house from time to time to help prepare for the warm-pot wine housewarming party. She can easily observe the situation in the alley in front of the door. Everything went as usual in the morning, and shortly after lunch in the afternoon, Jin Wu appeared again. He poked his head around the alley again, but before he could do anything, he was caught.

After the mother-in-law of the Wang family returned home yesterday, she mentioned the life experience of her new neighbor Jin Jiashu to her husband and sons. Her son, combined with the news that came out of the government office at the end of last year, matched him with the only surviving son of a foreigner who was rumored to have been killed outside Chang'an City. This proves that what Ma said is true. The mother-in-law of the Wang family also found out from her husband and sons the good deeds done by the second brother-in-law of the Jin family. She was very angry and specially told her younger son to beware of the vicious villain from the family coming to trouble the poor Jin Jiashu.

The youngest son of the Wang family deserved to be happy, but he didn't expect to be caught so soon. When he patrolled the neighborhood, he found someone sneaking around outside his alley. He immediately took the person back to the Yamen and found out the person's identity upon questioning. Although Jin Wu repeatedly argued that he had done nothing and was just here to find his relatives, how could the youngest son of the Wang family believe his words if he knew about the grievances between the two members of the Jin family?
The youngest son of the Wang family notified Jin Xin to come and pick him up, and he warned them unceremoniously that if they dared to harass the mistress again, they would not be lenient and would definitely report it to the magistrate's office and ask the magistrate to arrest the entire family.

Jin Xin humbly smiled and paid a fine before taking his precious son away.

When leaving, he lowered his voice and scolded Jin Wu: "Why are you so careless? Didn't I tell you to act with caution?!"

Jin Wu had nowhere to complain. How did he know that he would be arrested by the officers and soldiers just by looking around his cousin's new home? He really didn't do anything! This city is full of young men running errands to help others, and no officers or soldiers have ever suspected anyone. He was so neatly dressed, without losing any dignity, why should he be regarded as a thief? !
Jin Wu felt aggrieved. He didn't know what he had done wrong.

When he returned to his residence, his mother, Jin Liushi, learned that her son had been caught by the soldiers and could not see Jin Jiashu. She felt heartbroken: "When did the little boy from the head of the house become so difficult to deal with? No one has seen him. We Brother Wu has suffered such a great injustice! I really can’t wait for you here in Chang’an!”

Jin Xin said impatiently: "Are we willing to stay here? It's not because we are held back by the lawsuit that we can't leave even if we want to! You always said that you can go to Brother Tong to beg for mercy, saying that he has nothing. I understand, he is young and must be easy to coax. Even if the third child cannot be saved, he can at least save his mother. But how can things be so easy?

"Now that Brother Tong has a big backer, it's difficult for us to see him, let alone coax him to relent. In my opinion, let's forget about this matter. The prefect is deliberately trying to bring bad luck to our family, mother. It’s too late to save her. If we try to save her, we’ll all have to pay for it. We’d better find a way and get out of here!”

"No!" Mrs. Jin Liu said anxiously, "Do you think you can leave if you want? Can the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate let you go? Last time my eldest sister and I wanted to go out of the city to find the kid from the long house, but we were stopped. You Is there an exception? The prefect of Chang'an has made it clear that he doesn't want to spare us, but what if he and I also pay for it?"

Jin Xin became angry with embarrassment: "Then what do you think we should do?! Brother Wu can't even get close to Brother Tong, who else can come forward?!"

"I'll go!" Mrs. Jin Liu gritted her teeth, "I'm just a weakling who goes out to find some odd jobs. The officers and soldiers have no reason to arrest people. As long as I see that little brat, I have a way to make him nod!"
