Chapter 119: Lying
Haitang frowned and looked at the young man, not understanding why he told a lie that was so easy to be exposed?
He didn't know what he was shouting when he woke up. Or do you think no one heard what he was shouting?
Or rather...... He knows that his lies are not easy to be trusted, but he still wants to say this because it is more dangerous to tell the truth?
Why? Didn't they come to find the Zhou family? Now it's so clear...... Could it be that he thinks those killers have something to do with the Zhou family?
Haitang didn't think the Zhou family would do such a thing. If the Zhou family had such a ruthless style, they would not have been easily calculated by Sun Ge's old faction in their previous life, not only lost the power of the border army, but their own children and grandchildren were also repeatedly in danger, and ended up losing their officials, being disabled and even dying.
She doesn't know much about the Zhou family, but her grandfather Hai Xiya and her cousin Xie Wenzai have been sheltered under the influence of the Zhou family for decades, but if the Zhou family makes any mistakes, they can't be willing to contribute to the affairs of the Zhou family. Haitang still trusts the family style of the Zhou family, and does not believe that they will be wicked people who kill women and children.
Even if it was a heinous sinner who was killed, or a sworn enemy of the Zhou family, some people in the Zhou family thought that they must be killed, and there was no need to do it in the wild. This family is planning to go to Zhou's Zhuangzi, right? Wouldn't it be easier to wait for people to get to their own territory and then slowly clean up?
Haitang easily sorted out the logic here, so why did the young man in front of him, who claimed to be Xu Jiashu, lie? He decided that the Zhou family might be unfavorable to him because...... Their trip is very secret, only the Zhou family knows their whereabouts? So once the news leaks, the Zhou family will be suspicious?
But the people on the Zhou family Zhuangzi had already gone to the scene to identify them, and no one knew who the victim was. And what does this say?
Begonia's mind was in a flash, and she decided to leave this question to someone else. Since Xu Jiashu wants to lie, let others debunk him. When he knows that he can't get away with lies, he will naturally confess honestly.
It's not his own business. There was such a bad murder case near Chang'an City, it was impossible for the government to hold it high and let it go gently. If the case is not clear, it will affect the evaluation results of officials.
What's more, if Xu Jiashu is the son of "Master Jin", the officials may tolerate him more for the sake of his decent status and bitter master; But since he claims to be just the son of the Jin family's nurse, he is a first-class servant, even if he is also a bitter master, the officials will not allow him to deliberately conceal it and prevent the government from avenging the victimized "Master Jin" family!
Young man, you only care about clearing yourself up and hiding the truth, have you ever thought that this kind of rhetoric will put you in a more difficult situation?
Begonia stared at Xu Jiashu. Xu Jiashu avoided her gaze, and his eyes only looked in the direction of the kang tail.
Although he tried to calm himself down, he inevitably showed a bit of eagerness: "Miss Hai, I'm a little cold, can you hand me my clothes?" ”
Haitang glanced at the folded jacket at the end of the kang: "You said that you are the son of a nurse." But this robe is not only embroidered on silk, but also a bucket of beaded fur lining. Is that really your clothes? ”
Xu Jiashu glanced at Haitang quickly, and then lowered his gaze: "It was given to me by Master Jin...... It's my best garment. As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the kang tail twice.
Haitang knew that he must be concerned about the contents of the robe, but now that he has injured his legs and feet, he is unable to move, and he is not worried that he will run away after getting the robe, so she took the robe and handed it to him.
He tried to sit up and catch his robe, but the pain prevented him from moving further because of the wound on his waist.
Haitang stuffed the robe directly into his hand: "I said that you should not move, what if it bleeds again?" ”
Xu Jiashu gave up the intention of getting up, only grabbed the robe tightly, pretended to cover it, took the opportunity to touch the left armpit, and tidied up the sleeve, and the whole person relaxed a lot.
Begonia saw the corner of his eye clearly and pursed his lips. This Xu Jiashu clearly knows what is in the robe, but he wants to lie to her, he really takes people for fools!
She turned to him and said, "Now that you're awake, I'll go outside and ask the doctor to come and check on you." The people from the government have arrived in Zhuangzi and are waiting to ask you. ”
Xu Jiashu raised his eyes to look at him: "Miss Hai's family has reported to the official?" Which government is it from? Chang'an Mansion? ”
"I heard that it is the general judgment of Chang'an Mansion, whether there is anyone else, I don't know." Haitang blinked, "You have a good rest, I'll have someone bring you food." ”
Xu Jiashu respectfully lay on the kang and bowed to her: "Thank you, Miss Hai." The great grace of the Hai family to save lives is unforgettable, and it will definitely be repaid in the future. ”
Haitang smiled, and couldn't help but remind him that he had revealed another flaw: "You are quite knowledgeable, you speak well, did Master Jin teach you?" ”
Ignoring Xu Jiashu's slightly changing face, he turned around and walked out of the room.
She went to Cui Xiaodao first: "That person is awake, Brother Xiaodao will send him some food and drink." ”
Cui Xiaodao was overjoyed: "He's awake?" That's great! It just so happened that I had boiled the medicine and left it here to dry for the time being. I'll send him some hot porridge so he can drink the medicine when he's done!" ”
Haitang went to the front yard again, and under the introduction of his grandfather Haixi Cliff and his brother Haijiao, he met with Zhuang Shitong and Geng Zehuai, and brought them the good news that the survivors had woken up. Zhuang Geng and the others, under the leadership of Haixi Cliff and Xie Wenzai, went to the inner courtyard to see the injured and ask for a confession.
Haitang fell behind the team, and when he saw his brother's happy face, he couldn't help but whisper to remind him: "Brother, don't laugh so obviously, then Xu Jiashu just died in the family." ”
Haijiao hurriedly restrained his smile, but he still couldn't help but share his joy with his sister: "Grandpa Fang Cai Zhuang praised me, saying that I am a warm-hearted good boy, and I am willing to contribute to the victims when the road is uneven." It was in vain that he inquired about the details of the case for a long time, and volunteered to Zhuang Shitong and Geng Zehuai, expressing his willingness to help the government find the traces of the killer.
Fortunately, Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai and other parents didn't think much about it, he caught a few spies and Jiangyang thieves when he was in Suzhou, and his skills were not bad, they thought he was really a good boy with a warm heart and justice, and they were really proud of him.
Haitang knew what her brother was happy about as soon as she heard it, and pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, this is a good start." After a long time, Grandpa Zhuang will understand better how many advantages you have. Our two families have a good relationship, and they are a good match, and you are a handsome, smart, kind and upright young man, where can I find a more suitable grandson-in-law than you? ”
Haijiao quickly raised his index finger and "shh ”
Begonia glanced at him and followed his meaning. But...... How long has it been? The reef has already called Zhuang Shitong "Grandpa Zhuang"? It's quite affectionate.
Reef's mind calmed down a little, and he began to focus on business: "You asked the name of the surviving boy?" Called Xu Jiashu? ”
"He claimed to be Xu Jiashu, and the victim's family was surnamed Jin, and he was the child of the Jin family's nursing mother." Haitang glanced at his brother, "But he seems to have read a lot of books, and he doesn't look like the son of a servant." He claimed that he didn't know the Zhou family, and the Jin family was just passing by, not going to the Zhou family. He was very nervous about the gorgeous robe, saying that it was a reward for him, but I felt that there was a mezzanine in the robe, and I didn't know what was hidden in the mezzanine under the armpit, and there was a letter in the mezzanine of the cuffs, and the word 'Zhou' was printed on the wax seal. ”
"What do you mean?" Haijiao was stunned, "He lied?" ”
