Chapter 33: A Knife

The rest is a logical one.

Haijiao told his grandfather Haixi Cliff that night that he had met an old acquaintance in Guazhou on the street, and he had close contacts with the Guazhou businessman who had been arrested before, and thought that the other party was very suspicious.

Haixiya took his grandson to see Gu Qinghong the next day and reported the matter.

Gu Qinghong sent his henchmen to the gate of the city to ask the soldiers guarding the gate, and learned the time when the suspicious person entered the city. This person has obvious characteristics and is easy to impress, and it didn't take long for him to be found even where he settled in Suzhou City. After he entered the city, he was quickly investigated about the places he had been to and the people he had seen.

Judging from all kinds of intelligence, this person is indeed very suspicious, and seventy percent of them may be a spy of the Hu people.

You don't need to worry about the reef for the rest of the matter. Gu Qinghong will send someone to keep an eye on that person, find out the whereabouts and accomplices of the other party, and then arrest him at the appropriate time.

Gu Qinghong praised Haijiao, and promised that after the spy was caught, he would give him a bounty.

Haijiao's family is already wealthy, and he doesn't care about this little money. He remembered what his little sister Haitang had said, and took the initiative to tell Gu Qinghong that he didn't need a reward, and was willing to credit his grandfather Haixi Cliff for credit.

Haixi Cliff was taken aback. He never expected his grandson to say such a thing, and hurriedly said to Gu Qinghong: "This kid is young and ignorant, General Gu must not pay attention to him." ”

Gu Qinghong smiled. If it were an adult man, he would probably be upset. The border army has always attached importance to military merits, and whoever has military merits is theirs, and there is no reason to count it on the heads of others, even fathers and sons. But Haijiao is still young, and he is the son of Haiding City who once saved him, and he often goes in and out of the guard recently, and he behaves well-behaved and sensible. Gu Qinghong looked at the reef, only felt that the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and he didn't think that his words were excessive, he only thought that the child was filial and sensible.

He smiled and said to Haixi Cliff: "Lao Hai, you have a filial grandson, why be angry? He is young and not short of money, so naturally he doesn't care about the bounty. But he cares about you, a grandfather, and wants you to live better in the guard, so you should be happy. Although his idea is too naΓ―ve, it is also for your sake! ”

General Gu believes that it is inappropriate to attribute the credit of his grandson to his grandfather, but Haixi Cliff, who is a grandfather, can bring his grandson to the guard and report important information, and he also has a credit. At present, Haixi Cliff is the official body of the eighth grade before Zhishi, and he is old enough, and he has the credit of settling accounts and reporting spy clues, and he is currently in a shortage of people, so it is very reasonable to be promoted to a positive seventh grade. As for the child on the reef, the reward should still be rewarded. Since the child does not want gold or silver, then reward him with a good sword, and when he enters the army, he will have a good knife to use.

So, Haijiao held a high-grade official-made Yanling knife and followed his grandfather Haixi Cliff home.

This knife is a matching knife that can only be used by officers of the rank of general flag and above. Holding the reef in his hand, he remembered that he had learned knife skills with his master in his previous life, but he couldn't even have a better knife, and the only knife he used was passed on to his senior brother, and the three-handed embroidered spring knife that fell into his hands after the death of his senior brother couldn't help but be sour.

Now he is only twelve years old, and he has not yet entered the army, but he already has an officer's sabre.

Once again, he realized that his life had changed completely. He will never let himself be reduced to the situation of his previous life again.

Hai Xiya didn't know what his grandson was thinking, and when he saw him holding the knife and didn't speak, he just thought he was too happy. However, the grandson has a treasure knife at this age, will he want to go to the battlefield to fight for military merits more and more, and is unwilling to accept the civilian path arranged by his elders?

He sighed and couldn't help but say: "Although the general gave you this knife, you can't take it out and fiddle with it all day long, you have to put it away and don't hurt yourself." ”

Haijiao smiled at his grandfather: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will definitely practice knife skills diligently, and he will never be injured by this knife." ”

Hai Xiya wanted to speak and stopped, and only said after a while: "If you find any news of spies in the future, just report it to the generals, and you don't have to say anything about the credit to your grandfather." You should take the credit for your own work, and grandpa can still be greedy for you? He complained again, "I should have reported it when I first found out yesterday, but you didn't tell your grandfather until the evening, but you told your sister first." ”

Haijiao hurriedly wanted to explain, but Hai Xiya waved his hand, signaled him not to speak, and asked his granddaughter Haitang who came up: "What did your brother tell you yesterday?" He even told you about catching spies? ”

Haitang blinked: "My brother is afraid that he will recognize the wrong person and wronged others, so he came back to ask me if the guy from the wine shop has a scar on the left side of his face." As soon as I heard it, I remembered that there was such a person, and the scar on his face was still bitten by a wolf! ”

Hai Xiya didn't suspect anything, and only said to his grandson: "If there is such a confidential matter in the future, Hugh will tell your sister." ”

Haixi Cliff entered the house, and Haijiao and Begonia looked at each other, secretly relieved.

This level is over.

However, afterwards, Xie Wenzai asked Haitang in private: "Does your brother always like to discuss things with you?" I see that your brothers and sisters are always in the house and avoid talking. ”

Haitang deliberately showed a vigilant expression: "Uncle cousin, don't ask me what my brother told me, I promised my brother not to tell anyone." ”

Xie Wenzai couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Cousin doesn't mean anything else, he just thinks that if your brother has any troubles, he can tell me." My cousin can't help anything else, but he can still make ideas for him. ”

Haitang sighed and said, "My brother won't talk to your cousin." You and your grandfather and grandma always have a nostril of air, and when you hear your brother say that you want to go to the battlefield to make military achievements, you oppose it, and you don't care about his mood at all. What does my brother think, how dare I mention it to you? He can only talk to me, and in the end, he has to make up his own mind. ”

She seemed to be just complaining casually, but in fact she said everything. The so-called secrecy for my brother is just a lonely. However, this is very much in line with her little girl's naΓ―ve and ignorant persona. Xie Wenzai smiled silently, but felt in his heart that although the child Haitang was sometimes surprisingly smart, the child was a child, and it was still easy to coax.

He coaxed the child softly: "Why does your brother have to go to the battlefield to make military achievements?" He's still so young. ”

"But he really wants to help grandpa." Haitang tilted his head and said, "Grandpa is so old, and he still has to go back to the guard to do things, isn't it because our family is a military household, and someone must join the army?" I also heard my grandfather and grandma say that when they come out to do things now, the generals promised to promote him, so that when our family returns to their hometown in the future, we can straighten our waists. The elder brother said that if he could enter the army as soon as possible and make contributions, his grandfather would not have to work so hard. ”

Xie Wenzai was once again broken by Begonia. Why did cousin Hai Xiya return to Suzhou Wei when he was old? Isn't it because of the gratitude to the generals of Suzhou Wei for sheltering him as a cousin? It's hard to return the favor.

And Haixi Cliff has been in the army for thirty years and is only a petty official, isn't it because of him? My cousin's son Hai Dingcheng has died on the battlefield, and now even his grandson Haijiao wants to go to the battlefield at a young age, isn't it all because he Xie Wenzai dragged down his cousin's family?!

Xie Wenzai returned to the room with great guilt. Begonia watched him leave, and secretly curled the corners of his mouth.

It's not that she deliberately pokes people's sore spots, but Xie Wenzai's cousin uncle is recognized as a smart person in the Hai family, and it's too wasteful for smart people to huddle at home all day long, reading, writing, and chatting! Now that Sun Yonglu is no longer a trouble, Xie Wenzai can go out of the mountain to do something practical. If he doesn't want to attract attention, how about giving Haixi Cliff an assistant?

A handsome uncle in his fifties, with a good brain, not a bad body, and a lot of energy, how can he lie flat like this? Hurry up and roll it up!
