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

Chapter 523 Impatience

"What worries does he have?" Hai Jiao said disapprovingly, "It's just a show to show others, to save trouble."

He held a wooden ruler in his hand and compared it with the window of his room, not knowing what he was messing with.

Haitang vaguely guessed the meaning of his words: "Is it for Ma Shangyi?"

Hai Jiao gave an affirmative answer: "Xiao Jin doesn't think it's a big deal to be close to our family. It's just that the female official from the palace seems to be very shrewd and careful, and she always pays more attention to the people close to her, probably out of fear. He was young and didn't know the importance of it. He would easily spill the beans about family matters when he had close friends. He was also worried that our family would be in danger when the Jin family was in danger. Before Xiao Jin woke up, he had already seen the things given by his family and would guess. After all, grandpa and grandma had a lot of contacts with the Zhenguo government. My cousin had seen the world in Beijing before. Grandpas Cao and Lu were smart people. Maybe they could find some clues.

"She specially asked someone for news about our family, and she asked her in detail. Grandpa, grandma, you and me, my brothers and sisters, my cousins, Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Lu, as well as my second uncle, my son and his wife, she asked them in detail. Although we If you walk upright and sit upright, there is nothing to be afraid of, but Xiao Jin probably suffered a lot and must be wary of outsiders. He is afraid that the female officer has some bad thoughts towards our family members, so he would rather behave outwardly. They are not that close to our family, but in fact they still feel the same. He said that after Ma Shangyi and Lin Weiwei moved into the Jin family and became neighbors with our family, they became familiar with our family over time and knew our family's behavior. There will be no more suspicion. When he interacts with us more, there will be no more suspicion."

Zhou Yijun told him these things quietly. A few days ago, there was a funeral for the third family member of the Zhou family. The old military advisor took his son and Lao Zhangtou to the city to express condolences, and brought Zhou Yijun back along the way. Afterwards, the old military advisor was in a bad mood and stopped classes. Zhou Yijun stayed at home to digest what he had learned recently, and of course he also wanted to meet up with his friends. It is said that when Ma Shangyi inquired about the news, she also found him. Although he would not talk much in front of others, when he met Hai Jiao in private, he talked about it and told Hai Jiao to be more careful.

Although Ma Shangyi was a maid brought to the palace from her natal family by Queen Mother Zhou, she only lived in Chang'an for more than ten years, but she had been in the palace for nearly fifty years. Speaking and acting have long been the style of the palace. Even relatives and friends who were familiar with her could not tell what she was thinking from her calm smiling face. Although Zhou Yijun believed that she was still loyal to the Queen Mother and the Zhou family, she was able to return to Chang'an to work on the emperor's order, which naturally earned the emperor's trust. Who knows what she is thinking? Be careful in everything.

Hai Jiao pretended not to care and told Jin Jiashu the news "casually", but in fact he was very unhappy. Although in his previous life he had been part of Jinyiwei's spy circle and had never interacted with anyone from the palace except Eunuch Xin in the execution room, he could not help but feel that Ma Shangyi had too many things going on.

He had good intentions when he saved people, and he really didn't think much about it. He sincerely regarded Jin Jiashu as a friend. Although he did guess Jin Jiashu's true life experience, and he somewhat wanted to rely on this friendship to climb up, he didn't have bad intentions! So since Ma Shangyi came here on behalf of Concubine Xu Xian, why did she become suspicious of him without even showing any gratitude to him?

And the emperor, he wanted to accept married women as concubines, he failed to settle Concubine Xu Xian’s ex-husband’s family, he failed to stop the Sun family from causing trouble, causing Jin Jiashu to lose support... Everything was caused by him. After coming out, how could he have the nerve to be suspicious of this or that? As long as he can control the Sun family, will all this happen again? Who else does he need to be afraid of? !

Haijiao snorted twice and spat twice in the east direction, but he didn't say a word.

Haitang could understand Ma Shangyi's caution to a certain extent, but she just didn't understand what was the point of her asking about this? Before she returned to Chang'an, Jin Jiashu had close contacts with the Hai family. Even if she really wanted to let it slip, she would have already let it slip, right? Could she still be able to turn back time? Hai Jiao curled his lips and said, "She had her own intentions. That guard Lin disappeared without a sound, and the Zhenguo Palace didn't ask any questions. Do you know where he went? Xiao Jin told me that he guessed that Lin The guard is looking for the second roommate of the Jin family!"

Haitang was surprised: "What are you doing with them? Could it be..." to silence them?
Hai Jiao sighed and said, "No wonder Xiao Jin would think so. After all, Ma Shangyi meant exactly what he said. He has been quite uneasy recently. He always felt that it was him who gave Concubine Xu Xian the idea to change her life experience, which led to the emperor's revolt. He wanted to silence him. Although the second brother of the Jin family treated him badly, except for the most hateful ones, the others just stood by and watched him. Besides, there were a few children who were not guilty enough to die. I thought about killing them, but now I accidentally brought disaster to them, and I feel very sorry. "

He paused for a moment: "It's true, Xiao Jin. He had this idea, why didn't he ask me to guide him? If we really want to talk about the culprit, I am more responsible than him. I am the one who should feel uneasy. What is he so sad about?"

Haitang was silent for a moment and then said: "You don't need to feel sad or uneasy. We originally came up with the idea for the sake of the overall situation, hoping that the new monarch and Queen Mother Xu would have less trouble, and the Sun family would have less reliance to bring trouble to the court. . The second brother of the Jin family was not actually an insider who wanted to silence her. As long as they were not allowed to see Concubine Xu Xian, they would not have guessed the truth back then. Unfortunately, the Emperor Deguang they met was a mean and suspicious person. Yes, he is very kind to the Sun family. It is their bad luck to meet such an emperor."

After hearing this, Hai Jiao felt much better: "Having said that, Xiao Jin and we are both kind-hearted and good people, and it is natural for people to feel uneasy. It will be better in a while. The second wife of the Jin family is not a good thing. , they tricked Xiao Jin’s parents a lot. If they hadn’t forced Jin Juren to send his wife to be a wet nurse, Xiao Jin’s mother would not have had to survive a narrow escape, and she would have been forced to have her children separated. Although she would be the queen mother in the future, she would not be able to recognize her. Let’s just pretend that the suffering she has suffered in the past ten years doesn’t exist, and we can just treat it as Concubine Xu Xian’s revenge.”

Haitang thought for a while: "If the emperor wants to kill the second brother of the Jin family, of course he will find the members of the second brother of the Jin family who have left, but will he not care about the ones who stayed in Chang'an City? According to me, the second brother of the Jin family Madam, who has always been the most filial to Jin Juren, is the one who is most likely to know the inside story. Her sons, daughters, and wives are not deep-minded people. If they know something, they will be in the prison of the prefect's Yamen. The truth is that the possibility of those children knowing is even smaller. If the emperor really wants to send people to kill them all, there is no need to kill them all. If everyone in the second room of the Jin family goes their separate ways, they will die at the same time. It’s more likely to arouse suspicion, right?”

So what if it arouses suspicion? Death has no evidence. It was the emperor who gave the order, who in the world would dare to hold him accountable?

Hai Jiao curled his lips and said: "I heard that the second old lady of the Jin family is seriously ill and unconscious. She is probably dying soon. Aunt Jin has been watching over her and doesn't care about anything else. Ma Shangyi has already asked people to keep an eye on her. They are not afraid of something happening to them. However, Jin Xin, his wife, and Jin Miao have all experienced the incident in the capital, but they have not thought about it now. Once they think about it, they will definitely be malicious. This is also to prevent them. In case, we don’t have to worry about it, it’s just a dog biting a dog, what does it have to do with us?”

Haitang smiled and changed the subject obediently: "Brother, what are you doing? Do you want to do any new tricks on the windows?"
