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

Chapter 640 Foreshadowing
When getting back into the carriage, Ma Shangyi looked at Jin Jiashu and couldn't help asking him, "Brother, you did see... it was Hai Jia's sister Tang who knocked Captain Kan to the ground? Captain Kan was so tall and strong, how did Sister Tang do it?"

Jin Jiashu smiled and said, "Sister Hai explained to us afterwards that she secretly aimed at the acupuncture points on Kan Baihu's lower back, causing him to temporarily lose his strength, and only then did she succeed. I don't know how this works, but Brother Hai didn't think there was anything wrong. Maybe it's their family's unique secret method?"

Ma Shangyi, whose family also had military officers, looked hesitant. "I heard that Hai Dushi has always served as a civilian in the frontier army, and he is best at accounting and financial management. I haven't heard that his family has any secrets. If his family has such a skill, someone should have come forward long ago. How come there is only one civilian until now?"

Jin Jiashu sighed, "I've heard from others that Brother Hai's father was very talented during his lifetime and was highly regarded by General Zhou San. It's a pity that he died on the battlefield at a young age, otherwise he would have been promoted. Grandpa Hai was not very talented in martial arts, and he was so devoted to protecting his teacher and others that he had no intention of managing his own future. However, seeing how he trained Second Uncle Hai to be so outstanding, even though he never joined the army, he is still a well-known talent in both civil and military affairs. You can see that the Hai family has a profound family tradition of learning that is not comparable to ordinary families. Brother Hai is still so outstanding at a young age, which is enough to prove this point."

Ma Shangyi thought about it and it was true. The Hai family only kept a low profile and never showed up in order to protect the old students of Wu Clan. Otherwise, even if his martial arts were mediocre, with Hai Xiya's management skills, he should have been promoted in the Northwest Army long ago. Hai Xiya did not seek a future for himself. The outstanding son he cultivated with great difficulty died on the battlefield early and did not have time to become famous. His grandson was too young to grow up... There were reasons why his family did not show off, but it did not mean that his family did not have any unique secrets passed down from their ancestors.

Since it was an exclusive secret method, Ma Shangyi did not ask any more questions and only sighed, "Although I knew that Tang Jieer practiced martial arts with her second uncle and brother, I had never seen it with my own eyes. I thought she was just learning some riding and archery skills, and at most she was like the young ladies of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, with a stronger body and more agile movements, that's all. Today I know that she can even subdue a strong man like Captain Kan, and I know how extraordinary she is. I really underestimated her in the past!"

Jin Jiashu also laughed when he heard this: "Yes, when she broke in today and knocked Captain Kan to the ground, I was shocked and worried that she would get hurt. But later when I told her this, she told me that if she was not sure, she would not do it. If she did it, she must have known what she was doing, so I didn't need to worry about her. I thought to myself at the time that I was really thinking too much. Sister Hai is obviously a hundred times stronger than me, how can I treat her like an ordinary girl? What do I have to worry about? I should feel relieved when I see Sister Hai appear when I am in danger!"

Ma Shangyi turned to look at him speechlessly: "Brother, what are you doing..."

Jin Jiashu smiled brightly at her, his eyes seemed to be glowing: "Sister Hai is really amazing, isn't she? This is not the first time she has saved me! Every time she makes me look at her with new eyes! Whether it was the last time when she jumped down from the wall to save me when dealing with the kidnappers sent by the Sun family, or this time when she rushed out and knocked down Captain Kan... I feel that she is just like a god sent by God to save me! When I see her, I don't have to be afraid of anything anymore!"

Ma Shangyi opened her mouth, but felt that she couldn't refute it. It seemed that everything Jin Jiashu said was right. Why should she refute it?
After hesitating for a while, she decided to change the subject: "I have implicated my brother in today's incident. If I had known that Tu Jinbao was such a reckless person, I should not have persuaded my brother to make friends with him. Fortunately, Hai Jiajiao's brother is here today, and Xiao Jian and the Tu family's personal soldiers are also loyal and smart. Otherwise, if something happened to my brother, how could I have the face to see the Queen Mother and Madam Xu?"

A trace of subtle sarcasm flashed across Jin Jiashu's face, but he soon showed a gentle smile: "Don't say that, Mammy, you didn't expect this to happen. Besides, Tu Jinbao believed that Captain Kan was a friend, so he always took him into consideration. This is not a shortcoming. He has a simple heart, which should be a good thing, but it should be used on the right person. Captain Kan is not a bad person, but he is too impulsive and can't control his temper. If someone says something unpleasant, he will be angry and want to kill. "If it weren't for Brother Hai's cleverness today and pulling people apart in time, I'm afraid there would not be only a few people injured. It would not end without the death of several people. Fortunately, Brother Hai persuaded Captain Kan to calm down in time and explained the truth to him, otherwise I'm afraid even Tu Jinbao and I would not be able to save our lives. This man looks so fierce and brave, but he is not valued in the border town, and he hasn't found a good job since he came to Chang'an. I was puzzled at first, but now I know why. "

The more Ma Shangyi listened, the gloomier his face became: "No matter how brave Kan Jinbao is, he is just a reckless warrior and cannot be trained! Brother, don't meet him again in the future. If Brother Tu has anything else to say, brother, tell me and I will tell Tu Tongzhi!"

Jin Jiashu comforted her gently, "Don't be angry, Mammy. Captain Kan and Tu Jinbao always got along well before. Who knew he would do something like this today? Brother Hai may have known Captain Kan's temperament because the Hai and Kan families had a friendship in the early years, so he has been on guard today. Even though Tu Jinbao said he didn't have to come with him, as long as I went with him, he refused to leave and insisted on staying to protect me. Fortunately, he was prepared and was able to save us in time.

"It's hard for him to say this without evidence, and none of us expected it. We are lucky to have the current result. I just wonder why it happened so coincidentally. The messenger clearly said that Captain Kan's wife was embarrassed in the teahouse, and he rushed to save her. He didn't expect to discover his wife's affair with someone else. I don't know if the messenger knew the truth in advance and wanted to take the opportunity to expose it, but didn't expect Captain Kan's impulsive temperament, which almost caused a disaster..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Shangyi suddenly became serious: "This matter must be investigated thoroughly! No matter what the purpose of the person who reported the news is, he almost caused a disaster. He can no longer hide in the dark. Even if he has no intention of harming anyone, he must come forward to explain the whole story! He dragged so many people into the storm with just one message, and almost harmed my brother and the eldest son of the Tu family. If he doesn't give an explanation, what does he think of us?!"

Ma Shangyi frowned, thinking about how to discuss the aftermath when she met Tu Rong tomorrow. The key was that Tu Rong had to discipline his son well and not let him get into trouble again!
Ma Shangyi was still thinking, and no longer focused on the Hai brothers and sisters. Jin Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to review his words just now. He felt that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.

For some things, it is better to prepare and pave the way early so that you don't have to worry when the time comes.

He was not interested in accepting the arrangement of a noble lady or a rich lady by his "aunt" in the palace. Compared with the high official position, wealth and splendor that others expected, he still wanted to live a good life.
