Chapter 115: Providence Is So
Zhuang Shitong, Xie Wenzai's friend in the same year, made a general judgment in Chang'an Mansion.
When Hai Jiao first heard about this man, he thought his name was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. He originally thought that it was during his stay in Chang'an that he heard the news of this general judge, so he felt familiar. Early this morning, he met Zhuang Shitong, who had come to visit his friends and the injured, and after catching a glimpse of the faces of his companions, he thought of the other party's relationship with him.
In his previous life, he rescued him in Datong and gave him a sum of money for his benefactor, whose surname is Zhuang. She was originally the daughter of an official eunuch, her family was wealthy, but her parents died, and her grandfather, who was an official, died in office, which made her fall into a lonely and helpless situation. Her clan and her uncle's family worked together to plot her fortune and forced her to marry her uncle's cousin, who died soon after. The wealth of the Zhuang family was divided between the Zhuang clan and Miss Zhuang's uncle's family, and her husband married the newlyweds in a blink of an eye, completely leaving her behind.
The old county magistrate, who had been walking with the reef all the way from Chang'an, was a distant relative of Miss Zhuang, but because the relationship was too far away, there was no way to take her away from the clan and uncle's family. And because the old county ordered his daughter and grandson to fall into Datong, in order to bring these two blood relatives safely, he couldn't help Miss Zhuang, so he could only find a way to contact her grandfather's friends afterwards. It's a pity that when the rescuers he found arrived at the same time, Miss Zhuang had already died and it was too late.
Haijiao is very familiar with this old county commander, and he is very grateful to him. After being forced to leave Yongping's hometown, he wandered all the way, and thought about going to the other party, but the other party had passed away at that time, and his daughter and grandson had also moved to other places, so he could only go to the capital to earn a way out.
Haijiao Fang recognized that the companion next to Zhuang Shitong was this Geng Lao county magistrate, and heard that he introduced himself to Haixi Cliff as Zhuang Tongju's distant cousin, and served as the county magistrate in Chang'an County under the rule of Chang'an Mansion, so he guessed Zhuang Shitong's true identity - that was the grandfather of the benefactor Miss Zhuang! The one who unfortunately died in the field!
Haijiao said to the little sister Haitang in a trance: "I heard that Lord Zhuang went to a small village next to Zhou's Zhuangzi the day before yesterday as a guest. The grandson of the master of Zhuangzi is full moon, and he invites relatives and friends to the feast. Afterwards, the owner of the village stayed with his cousin for two more days, and he didn't have to go to the yamen office anyway. Geng Lao County agreed and stayed in the village, but Lord Zhuang was worried about coming to thank his cousin, so he politely refused, and did not receive our family afterwards, so he returned to the small village to spend the night. β
If...... Without the Hai family, Lord Zhuang would still go to a friend's house to eat full moon wine, and then be invited by the owner of the village to stay in the village with his cousin for two more days, maybe at night, only take one person out to enjoy the snow for a walk, and happened to retreat after the killer, and was killed by the other party...... When he died in office, the benefactor of the reef lost her grandfather, and then her parents died, and she had no one to rely on, so she had to be ruled by her clan and her uncle......
Seeing that his brother didn't look like he belonged, Haitang said something to comfort him: "Isn't it good to be like this now?" Although you didn't do it on purpose, you saved our whole family, and then our whole family came outside Chang'an City, and accidentally prevented the killer from killing Lord Zhuang. Master Zhuang is safe and sound, Miss Zhuang has something to rely on, and her clan and uncle will no longer dare to try to plot her family property. Rounding it off, you can be considered a benefactor who helped you, right? β
Hearing this, Hai Jiao calmed down again, thought about it, and nodded: "You're right. As long as it can help Miss Zhuang, my heart will be happy. Although it was not intentional on my part, how could it not be providential to have such a result? Heaven has brought me back to life, not just so that I can save my family. Those who have saved me and helped me will also be duly rewarded. That's what it's all about to be born again! β
Haitang laughed when he heard this, and then turned the topic back to the right path: "Lord Zhuang ran into that group of killers, and the government only knew the appearance and dress of the other party, but they were all masked and could change their disguises at any time and hide among the people. How does the government plan to investigate this matter next? β
"You can only wait for the young man to wake up, right?" "Since it wasn't robbers who robbed and killed, but came specifically to kill people, the boy looked like he was in his teens, and he should always know some clues." Lord Zhuang will come to other villages, not only to see his cousin, but also to investigate the case! β
Is Zhuang Tong sentenced to investigate the case? In Haitang's impression, as a subordinate official of the prefect, it seems that he is usually responsible for the affairs of grain fields and water conservancy.
Haijiao told his sister that the current prefect of Chang'an Mansion is a good hand at people's livelihood, but he is not very familiar with the criminal and prison judgments, and it just so happens that Zhuang Tongju has been a local pro-people official for decades and is very familiar with the affairs of investigating cases, so after he took office, the prefect discussed with him and handed over the affairs related to the arrest and theft judgment to him. Now that they are one and one is supplemented, plus a fellow who is good at water conservancy and river engineering, the three giants of Chang'an Mansion can be said to be cooperating seamlessly and cooperating tacitly. The nature of the murder this time was vile, and it happened near the Zhuangzi of the Zhou family of the Chang'an giant clan, and the prefect yamen attached great importance to it. The prefect went to the scene in person, and Zhuang Tongju was responsible for questioning the survivors and insiders, and the two acted separately.
Zhuang Tongju came to see a friend by the way. His cousin was so angry when he learned that he dared to walk in the middle of nowhere at night with only one guard, and refused to let him go any further, not only following him personally, but also bringing a string of guards and retinue, and did not allow him to be left alone in danger again.
When Haijiao talked about this, he was still a little nostalgic: "The old county magistrate scolded Master Zhuang in front of our family. Now he is still full of energy and spirits, not like the old and disheartened appearance when he left the university in his previous life, it is really happy to see it. β
Haitang laughed when he heard it: "It's better this way." Miss Zhuang's grandfather is safe and sound, and the reason why he has had a bad career for many years is mostly because he and his cousin are both protΓ©gΓ©s of Wu Wen'an. Now that Gong Wu has been rehabilitated, right? Uncle Cousin, they reconnected with Lord Tao Yue, and with the light of Lord Tao, they were not as easily suppressed by the old faction of Sun Ge as before, and Lord Zhuang wanted to be able to go more smoothly in his career. If he is doing well, his in-laws will not dare to calculate his granddaughter at will, and the son-in-law of his cousin Geng Lao County Commander will not dare to bully his wife and children at will. Brother, even if you can't go to Datong in time to save people, Miss Zhuang won't be killed. β
Haijiao thought about it, and his expression was much more relaxed, but he didn't intend to give up the original plan to go to Datong: "Datong and Chang'an are separated by more than a thousand miles, and Miss Zhuang is not in front of Lord Zhuang, who can guarantee that she will be safe?" In case her parents died, her clan and uncle's family still had to calculate her marriage and family wealth, and Lord Zhuang was far away in Chang'an, beyond the reach of the whip, what could she do? Even if Miss Zhuang is no longer easily calculated to die, if she is forced to marry her uncle's cousin, such a heartless person will not make Miss Zhuang feel better. If I don't go, won't I sit back and watch my benefactor be ruined for the rest of my life? How can I feel happy with that?! β
Haitang raised her eyebrows and gave her brother an idea: "If your parents have to kiss each other, you can't say anything as an outsider, right?" But what if...... The grandfather of the family saw a young talent outside, with a reliable character and a bright future, and planned to let his granddaughter out, and wrote home that Miss Zhuang's parents would not be able to find another in-law for their daughter. I just don't know...... Where did my brother find such a young talent? What kind of grandson-in-law would Master Zhuang like? β
As Begonia expected, the reef fled in a hurry.
