Chapter 123: Scary Speculation
Jin Juren's name is Jin Sen.
And the relatives of Empress Dowager Xu's ex-husband, the two brothers are named Jin Xin and Jin Miao respectively.
It's a coincidence.
The names are all a combination of five elements, and they are all three identical words superimposed. The word "Sen" is far more common than the word "Xin" and the word "Miao", since the Jin family in Zunhua Prefecture has Jin Xin and Jin Miao, why can't there be Jinsen?
Haitang asked Haijiao: "Is this Jin family from Zunhua Prefecture directly under Zhili?" ”
Haijiao shook his head: "How do I know?" I've heard that many people in the capital privately joke that his family is a native bun from the countryside, but I don't know which country they are from, anyway, it won't be too far away. The Jin family once returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors after Jin Xin's promotion, and it only took half a month to go back and forth, and their hometown is likely to be in the Zhili area. It's just that the Empress Dowager Xu is the second married into the palace, and for the sake of the dignity of the new monarch, the powerful officials in Beijing are taboo to mention her ex-husband, and they will not talk about it in front of others. ”
Haitang was silent for a moment and lowered her voice: "Brother, if this Jin Sen really has something to do with the brothers Jin Xin and Jin Miao, will he be the ex-husband of the Empress Dowager Xu?" ”
Haijiao blinked, and his face changed slightly: "Can't it?" It's just the same family! "If it is said that Xu Jiashu, as the heir of the other room of the Jin clan, is afraid of the relationship between the second room of the Jin family and Concubine Xu Xian in Beijing, and does not dare to reveal his identity, it makes sense.
But Haitang thinks this doesn't make sense: "Xu Jiashu himself said that the Jin family clan only has two rooms, and the long house only has Jin Juren's father and son, and there are no three rooms. But if it is not the same clan, why should the second house of the Jin family inherit the property of Jin Juren? Concubine Xu Xian has not yet become the queen mother, so it is impossible to openly shelter her ex-husband's relatives! ”
Haijiao's face was ugly, and he had to admit that he was wrong.
However, if Jin Sen is really the ex-husband of Empress Dowager Xu, the news he heard in his previous life would not be accurate.
Empress Dowager Xu made a feud with Sun Guifei because the Sun family had something to do with the death of her ex-husband's son, and she should have entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager in order to avenge her ex-husband's son, and then became the concubine of Emperor Deguang. Now that the eighth prince is almost four years old, Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband and son have been dead for at least five years, how could they be in distress on the outskirts of Chang'an last night?!
If Jinsen Jin Juren is Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband, doesn't that mean that Concubine Xu Xian entered the palace as a concubine when her husband was still alive, and gave birth to an heir for the emperor? So what is an emperor? Does the king take the wife of his courtiers?
Haitang knows that this guess is a bit scary, but some things in the world are so bloody: "Can my brother be sure which year Concubine Xu Xian entered the palace in his last life?" She said that her ex-husband's son was killed by the Sun family, in which year? ”
The face of the reef was even more ugly.
No, no one knows what year Concubine Xu Xian entered the palace, anyway, when the clan relatives outside the palace saw her by the queen mother's side, she had already served the emperor and made meritorious contributions. As for saying that the death of her ex-husband's son had something to do with the Sun family, it was revealed by the Empress Dowager Zhou to the princess of the clan in private, and Concubine Xian did not deny it. That should ...... It was shortly before the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou, when the female relatives of the clan entered the palace to visit the sick. Before that, the Empress Dowager Zhou had been in the palace for many years, and she had always refused the invitation of the foreign wife, and outsiders could not see her.
Empress Dowager Zhou is still alive now, and it is estimated that she will not die until next year. Calculate the time, if Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband is killed this winter, the news will reach the Empress Dowager Zhou next year, which is right!
But this speculation is too scary. The reef is a little unbearable. He quickly checked the door to make sure that no one was passing by, and then turned around and lowered his voice very low: "Little sister, you can't talk nonsense about this, if you let people know, it will be terrible!" ”
Haitang has been in the world for a long time, and is much calmer than him: "Brother, if this is true, Empress Dowager Zhou must know the truth." Can she recommend Concubine Xu Xian to the emperor, can she still leave trouble? Her relationship with the emperor was not very good. If she concealed the truth from the emperor and caused the emperor to bear the stigma of robbing the wife of a minister, what good would it do to the Zhou family? I think that when Concubine Xu Xian became a concubine, she must have reconciled with her ex-husband. Even if there was no reconciliation, Empress Dowager Zhou would help her reconcile. ”
Concubine Xu Xian and then become the emperor's concubine after leaving, as long as her ex-husband's family does not make trouble, no one will preach that the emperor will take away his wife.
Besides, Jin Juren's stepfamily gave birth to a six- or seven-year-old son for him, counting the time, Concubine Xu Xian was just a maid by the Queen Mother's side at that time! Jin Juren can marry for the second time, which proves that the marriage relationship between the two has long ended.
Haijiao calmed down a little: "You're right. If Empress Dowager Xu really hadn't lost her husband or divorced, she had made a concubine for the emperor, and she would not have been able to raise the Jin family so openly in the future. Sun Guifei's family said so much gossip about her, but they never mentioned that she abandoned her husband and son to enter the palace, which shows that this matter is not a trick. ”
Haitang said: "But since Empress Dowager Xu dared to say that the Sun family was related to the death of her ex-husband's son, and Sun Guifei did not deny it, then the killer who blocked the road and killed the Jin family last night ...... It's the person raised by the Sun family. ”
Reef clenched his fist: "That's right! The Sun family has this strength! At that time, if we wanted to infiltrate Sun's Mansion to find out the news, we had to pass the level of his family's guards first, and there were many dead people for this reason - his family secretly raised many dead soldiers, many of whom were masters of killing people without blinking. ”
It's just that Chang'an is the base camp of the Zhou family. How did the Sun family send the dead soldiers to sneak in? If they dare to do this kind of thing under the noses of the Zhou family, aren't they afraid of being caught by the Zhou family?
"I have to let the Zhou family know about this...... Hai Jiao just had this thought, and immediately thought of another thing, "Xu Jiashu's robe...... The letter hidden in the cuff compartment is printed with the word 'Zhou' on the wax seal! Could it be a letter written by the Empress Dowager Zhou in the capital or the Lord Thursday of the Marquis of Cheng'en? Could Jin Juren have come to find the Zhou family? But...... Why would Hui deny it? ”
Haitang raised his eyebrows: "This shows that Xu Jiashu is likely to be suspicious of the Zhou family...... When he first woke up, he heard that this was the Zhou family's Zhuangzi, and he was very vigilant. Since it is possible that it is a killer sent by the Sun family, why would Xu Jiashu guard against the Zhou family? ”
Could it be that the killer still claims to be sent by the Zhou family? Is the Sun family planning to blame the Zhou family and sow discord between Concubine Xu Xian, the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Zhou family?
As for why the Zhou family sent someone to kill Jin Juren's family...... If Jin Juren is really Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband, the Zhou family doesn't want this secret to be known to the world, so they send killers to kill people, which sounds a bit reasonable.
However, Concubine Xu Xian has been a concubine for four or five years, and the sons she gave birth to are almost four years old. What's more, what's the use of just killing Jin Juren's family? The second room of the Jin family is still there, there are always relatives and friends of the Jin family who know Jin Juren's ex-wife, which one can't prove that Concubine Xu Xian was the wife of the Jin family? The Zhou family's murder is just a lonely killing, and the gains outweigh the losses. Once Concubine Xu Xian knows, then she will properly turn her own people into enemies, why bother?
As long as you have a little brain, you know that this kind of thing is impossible. What stupid is Xu Jiashu doing?!
The reef scratched his hair, also confused.
He still didn't understand: "What did the Sun family send someone to kill Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband and son?" Didn't his family Sun Guifei hate Concubine Xu Xian the most? Why did you take the initiative to help Concubine Xu Xian get rid of the troubles? ”
Haitang suddenly paused: "The killer is not here to kill the mouth...... They're here to arrest people! She looked at her brother, "They're coming to arrest Xu Jiashu...... No, it's Kim Ka-ki! He is the son of Concubine Xu Xian and Jin Juren. With him, Sun Guifei has a bargaining chip to threaten Concubine Xu Xian! ”
