Watching the four elders walk towards the gate of the courtyard, Begonia and Haijiao quickly moved to the courtyard where they borrowed their own house next door, avoiding their sight, hiding behind the door, watching them pass by the door while discussing.

Haijiao has already regained the skills of secret agents, and Haitang's light skills have been practiced for more than a year and a half. The brother and sister's movements were fast and agile enough, and the movement was very small, so that Hai Xiya, Xie Wenzai, Zhuang Shitong and Geng Zehuai did not notice that they were overheard by the two children from the beginning to the end.

Haijiao watched the elders go away, pulled his sister's sleeve, and Haitang followed him knowingly and walked into the wing room where he lived last night.

Haijiao let out a long breath: "It's really worthy of being my cousin...... Grandpa Zhuang is also very smart. They all found out about the lie that Xu Jiashu told. Since they plan to send someone to Zhili to check, Xu Jiashu will soon be exposed, and he will not want to deceive people again! ”

After finishing speaking, he paused, and turned his head to look at Begonia with some hesitation: "Little sister...... I don't know if it's because of the relationship between standing outside the wing room and eavesdropping, I don't really hear it, and I always feel that it's ...... Xu Jiashu gave me a sense of familiarity, as if ...... I'd heard him talk before. ”

Haitang blinked: "You knew him in your last life?" ”

Hai Jiao thought about it seriously, and then shook his head hesitantly: "Although I haven't looked at his appearance carefully, but since I rescued people last night, I have met him a few times, and I know what he looks like, and I don't feel familiar." I don't think I knew him. ”

But Haitang felt that this kind of thing was inaccurate: "He is now eleven or twelve years old, and when he grows up in a few years, his appearance will naturally change." Maybe you met him a few years later or more than ten years later, when he was already an adult, and his appearance and voice were different from when he was a teenager. ”

Haijiao is right when he thinks about it: "Little sister, you are right. I don't recognize any acquaintance from my previous life in his appearance and voice, but the tone of his voice is ...... The habit of choosing words and sentences, as well as the slight accent, all sound very familiar to me. I should have seen this person in my previous life, maybe it's quite familiar, but the name is very unfamiliar. Whether his name is Xu Jiashu or Jin Jiashu, no one in my acquaintances has that name. ”

But that's not surprising. Xu Jiashu in his previous life should have also suffered last night's robbery, but no Hai family arrived in time to save him, and I don't know how he survived. If there is no government to support him, he is afraid of the existence of the second room of the Jin family, whether he is incognito or left in disguise, he may no longer use his real name.

Now that the government is backing him, doesn't he still claim to be surnamed Xu and deny that he is the son of Jin Juren?

However, is the second room of the Jin family so capable? According to Xu Jiashu's statement, the Jin family only has the most promising Jin Juren in the long room, not only has merit and fame, but also has thousands of family wealth, although there are many people in the second room, there are gamblers and the family business has been ruined. With such a second room of the Jin family, why did Xu Jiashu have concerns and even abandon his true identity?

Hai Jiao couldn't help but discuss this matter with his sister: "Was Xu Jiashu frightened by yesterday's robbery?" What can the second room of the Jin family do? They want to plot the property of the long house, and they have to buy killers to kill people, which is not a means at all. What is there to be afraid of such people? Why did he lie, he didn't even dare to admit his father?! ”

Haitang didn't answer and asked: "My brother has been to Chang'an in his last life, right?" Although it was two years later, so many people died in the suburbs of Chang'an, and it is not an ordinary case that happens every year, not to mention that you also got the help of Geng Lao's county order to return to your hometown with him. Haven't you heard of the cause of death of Zhuang Tong? Has the person who killed Zhuang Tong's sentence been caught? What is the identity of the murderer? Did the government find out that they were colluding with the second room of the Jin family? ”

Haijiao frowned: "This ......" To be honest, Geng Lao County Ling has always been sad about his cousin's death, in the Geng family, this matter is a taboo, and basically no one dares to mention it. His status was lowly at that time, and he had to rely on Geng Lao's county order everywhere to take care of him, where did he dare to commit taboo?

He only vaguely remembered that the servants of the Geng family's neighbors seemed to have discussed that the case of Zhuang Tong's judgment had not been clarified, and the government thought that it was done by robbers, but no one was caught. There are many people who have other opinions in private, and there are even rumors that the real target of the murderer is actually Zhuang Tongju, who deliberately implicated another passer-by in order to cover up. Those who have had a grudge with Zhuang Tong in the officialdom are all suspicious.

The lethality of this kind of rumor is still quite large. The civil and military officials in Chang'an Mansion were suspicious of each other in private, and the relationship was no longer as harmonious as before, and gossip was flying all over the sky. The prefect had ordered the suppression of rumors, but the more it was suppressed, the more speculation was aroused. Just on the street where the Geng family lived, different people had different opinions, some people were suspicious of Zhuang Shitong's old colleagues in Shuzhong, and some people thought that an official in Chang'an Mansion who was expected to be promoted to the general judgment but was preempted by Zhuang Shitong must have resented him. The latter was forced to resign and run away, and the former was said to have fallen ill and died in office.

When Haijiao came to Chang'an, the peak period of rumors had passed, and the neighbors only occasionally talked about this topic in private. As for the market in Chang'an City, there have been other news that have replaced this murder case and become a hot topic. But even so, the rumors that can reach the ears of the reef are also very considerable, which shows the shock that this incident has brought to the officialdom of Chang'an.

Therefore, Haijiao can be sure that this group of killers has not been caught, and no one has mentioned anything about the Jin family. At that time, he was considered to be a victim of the pond fish disaster, and his relatives had already arrived, collected the body and relics, and helped the coffin to return to his hometown. Of course, the government will not suspect anything, and it is a little fortunate that the family did not stubbornly ask them to solve the case as soon as possible, which is a great relief.

"I haven't heard of any survivors. If it weren't for the fact that I thought Xu Jiashu was familiar when he spoke, I would only think that he had died in the robbery last night in his previous life, and I didn't think he would have escaped at all. ”

Therefore, he felt that he might have thought too much: "He is from Zunhua Prefecture, and he is not far from Yongping Mansion, could it be that I am used to hearing the accents of my grandfather and Uncle Cui, so I will feel that he is familiar with his speech?" ”

Haitang snorted: "Grandpa has spoken standard official dialect for decades, and Uncle Cui's accent is more obvious, but it is very different from Xu Jiashu's diction habits. How could you possibly think they spoke in a similar tone? "Far from it, okay?

Haijiao said curtly, "Haven't I been able to think of it? So try any guess. ”

Haitang tilted his head: "Forget it, let's not think about Xu Jiashu's problem for the time being." Since you feel that you knew him in your previous life, you will get along more in the future and deepen your familiarity, and sooner or later you will remember it. Now let's look at this case from a different perspective. Xu Jiashu is very taboo about the second room of the Jin family, and doesn't want them to come to handle Jin Juren's funeral, but he doesn't admit that he is the eldest son of Jin Juren, what is the reason? The second room of the Jin family is not very powerful, so why is Xu Jiashu afraid of them? ”

The second room of the Jin family has no wealth, no power, no power, what is Xu Jiashu afraid of them? When they came to Chang'an, how could they threaten Xu Jiashu?

Haijiao pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know what the second room of the Jin family has to rely on, so that Xu Jiashu can't even recognize his father, and Wan Guan family wealth will give up if he says to give up, but ...... Jin Juren's name gave me a little inspiration. ”

He glanced at his sister: "Empress Dowager Xu's reputation has always been good, and the most criticized thing is the excessive indulgence and promotion of her ex-husband's relatives, making them live like serious relatives." And the two brothers of that family, one is called Jin Xin and the other is Jin Miao, isn't it a coincidence? ”
