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

Chapter 535 New Way

Haitang showed a meaningful expression: "This sounds quite intimidating to Sun Yongbai, but is he the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for his family, wife and children?"

Hai Jiao sneered a few times: "How is that possible?! This guy has always been the most important to me. As long as he can survive, anyone can sacrifice it! There is no need to mention wives and concubines. Even his son, the only son left, cannot compare to him. Your life is precious!”

In his previous life, Sun Yongbai was also the first to be arrested within the Sun family. Almost all the shady things in the Sun family were led by him. Even though Sun Yongping was apparently the commander, in fact the latter was just a puppet. The person who actually made plans, took actions, and cleaned up the aftermath was Sun Yongbai. He knows the most secrets of the Sun family and is the best at collecting evidence. Therefore, when the Sun family lost power in his previous life, he was the first to be arrested. At that time, the Sun family also threatened him with his wife and children, but he initially stayed honest for a while. But when he found out that the Sun family could no longer protect him, that the officials who were interrogating him really dared to punish him severely, and that he might die if he didn't open his mouth, he didn't care about anything.

Hai Jiao said: "After the Sun family found out that he had let go, at first they just used his favorite concubine to operate on him to scare him. After all, what he revealed at that time were some secrets that were not important but caused the Sun family a lot of headaches. ; But later he confessed more and more secrets, and the Sun family began to threaten the lives of his wife and daughter, and he didn't care anymore; as long as the Jin Yiwei could spare him the pain of torture, they were willing to pardon his death penalty, even if it was His own father and mother died in front of him, and he didn't even blink.

"At that time, the Sun family gave up on sealing his mouth and began to flee in batches. Before Sun Yongping left the capital, he killed his two older sons and ran away with his younger son in his arms. But Sun Yongbai still revealed the addresses of all the properties that the Sun family had secretly purchased, leaving the Sun Yongping family with nowhere to hide. In the end, the Sun Yongping family died during the Jinyi Guards' encirclement and suppression, and the news was sent back to Sun Yongbai's youngest son before his death. When he was in prison, Sun Yongbai just sighed, but he still ate and drank well and slept soundly. "

Haitang felt chills running down her back. The Sun family was really cruel! Sun Yongbai is cruel enough, and Sun Yongping is also not a good person. Even though they seemed to be cousins ​​who loved each other and worked together tacitly before, when the crisis came, they were still able to deceive each other, leading to the death of their brothers, their entire family, and their descendants.

Thinking of this, Haitang told Hai Jiao what he had said to Xie Wenzai before, and asked: "Since there is no flesh-and-blood friendship between the Sun brothers, can we take advantage of it? I think this is still a good provocation. It’s alienating.”

Hai Jiao pinched his chin and thought for a while: "As long as we can completely prevent the Sun family from meeting Sun Yongbai, we can use some tricks... spread the word out and let the Sun family think that Sun Yongbai can't stand the punishment and is willing to do anything. Just recruit him. Sun Yongbai is a person who only cares about his own life and doesn't care about the lives of others. If he knew that Sun Ge Lao and Sun Yongping not only wanted to silence him, but also wanted to pin all the crimes on himself, he would definitely kill him in order to protect himself. We know everything! As long as they don't get involved, there are plenty of opportunities for us to do tricks. Anyway, if we can trick the Sun family, it won't help. Sun Yongbai really confessed, and the Sun family really wanted to silence him.”

Haitang raised an eyebrow: "We are so far away from the capital. Even if my brother has an idea and convinces his uncle, can he get the people of the Third Division to agree? Besides, there are members of the Third Division who are Sun Ge Lao's party members, so they will definitely Is the inside story leaked to Sun’s family?”

Hai Jiao just smiled: "Don't worry about this, I have my own way. The Jin Yiwei has his own way, and it is not something that the high-ranking officials in the court can guess."

However, it would be too slow to use his cousin Xie Wenzai to influence the Zhenguo government and give advice to the emperor and the people of the third division. Hai Jiao has found another way to intervene faster and more directly to affect Sun Yongbai's trial. Haitang blinked and already somewhat guessed who the new path found by Hai Jiao was: "Does Commander Tu Rong know about this? When did my brother get involved with him?"

Hai Jiao chuckled and said: "How do I do it specifically? Don't ask, little sister. Anyway, I have now been appreciated by this gentleman. Although he thinks I am still young, he is somewhat optimistic about my future. , intends to train me for a few years, but I was taught by my cousin, and even if it is just an idea that comes up occasionally, he will not treat me as ordinary. The soldiers around him are also good to me, I want to convince him. What they do is not difficult.”

Haijiao has more than ten years of experience in this area in his previous life. Haitang is not too worried and just reminds him: "Brother, don't underestimate others. Tu Rong must not be a fool if he has been favored by Emperor Deguang for many years. Wan Once he senses that you have ulterior motives, be careful and he will get angry.”

Hai Jiao waved his hand: "Don't worry, can I still be careless in this kind of thing? I guarantee he won't notice it. Besides, I am using conspiracy. Even if he finds out that I intend to deceive him, I will only help him out." It's just an idea, I didn't mean to trick him, I just fulfilled my duty as an aide, and he will never be angry as long as the result is beneficial to the emperor."

Of course, since he has such a plan, he must act quickly. Although the Sun family is now deliberately delaying the process of the third trial, trying to buy Sun Yongbai more time, so that his family can clean up the aftermath as soon as possible, lest the emperor's people seize the evidence and find evidence of the crime, there are still neutral factions among the three departments. With Qingliu, who has his heart set on the Wu clan, they can't just sit back and watch the Sun family stall for time. Sun Yongbai's trial will not last long. If Haijiao wants to influence the interrogation process, he must act now. Chang'an is so far away from the capital. Even if he persuaded Tu Rong, it would still take several days for Tu Rong to deliver the letter to the capital!
In the next few days, Haijiao went out early and came back late. It seemed that he only slept at home and did not even eat at home. Grandma Ma talked about it a few times, but later she learned that he often went to Xie Wenzai's place next door to accompany him for meals, so she stopped nagging her. She thought Hai Jiao just wanted to fulfill her filial piety in front of her old uncle.

In fact, Hai Jiao went to the Zhen Guogong Mansion and the Tu family more often. I don’t know how he deceived him, but Tu Rong now seems to be very optimistic about the grandson of his subordinate Hai Xiya. He thinks that Hai Jiao is a talent that can be cultivated, and he is happy to ask the young boy to come around for guidance from time to time.

Haixi Ya naturally knew about it. But Tu Rong had a good reputation and did a good job in official affairs. He was the emperor's confidant, but he got along well with the generals of the Zhenguo Palace and the northwest frontier army. Hai Xiya believed that there would be no harm in his grandson spending more time with such an elder.

He also thought about returning to his hometown to live after retirement. But since he became an official, almost all his connections are within the Northwest Frontier Army. What will happen to my grandson's future if he returns to his hometown in Zhili? Although we can still take advantage of the Zhou family's influence, wouldn't it be great if there were senior officials the emperor valued who were willing to promote his grandson? Even Zhen Guogong and his son said that Tu Rong was good and agreed that Hai Jiao should ask him for advice!

Hai Xiya acquiesced in his grandson getting close to his boss, and continued to work on his work happily.
