Chapter 157: Informed

Early the next morning, Haijiao rode out of the city again and headed for Beshang.

After arriving in Beizhuang, he first found Ma Li and his son, and said straight to the point: "Yesterday, Sister Xiu Tang came to the house, confessed to my grandmother on your behalf, and also said the new order of my aunt and grandmother. What are you going to do? ”

Ma Li's father and son suddenly looked bitter. They had received the order yesterday morning, and they had been worried for a day, and they couldn't even sleep well, and they really couldn't think of any good way to complete the new task ordered by their mother, Zhou Ma.

It is not a problem to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the people sent by Mrs. Ma, and it is also not a problem to let Jin Jiashu continue to stay in Beizhuang to recuperate, the question is how to use a "natural" way to reveal Mrs. Ma's plan to build a glass workshop in Beizhuang to the people on Zhuangzi, a veteran of the Zhou family? Not only do they want to reveal the news, but they also don't let the other person know that the news was revealed by themselves. In this way, Mrs. Ma's plan failed afterwards, and it would not be traced back to Zhou Ma's head.

There are many veterans of the Zhou family living in the three rooms of the Zhou family, although the village belongs to the Zhou Ma family, but there are some veterans who are interested in Mrs. Ma. In case of leaking the news, Zhou Ma will certainly be scolded by his stepmother-in-law, husband and stepson, and Ma Li's father and son are also worried that they will suffer again. Although they are about to become servants of the Hai family, hasn't the main mother Zhou Ma not sent their deeds to the Hai family's aunt yet? In case the male owner Zhou Shigong speaks, Zhou Ma can really protect these subordinates?

Ma Li's father and son can only follow the head of the village and them to act together, help to step up patrols on other villages, and beware of any more people with malicious intentions approaching the main house, and they dare not do anything else. Even when they came into contact with the veteran guard who was guarding the courtyard of Jin Jiashu, they were very cautious, for fear that the servants in the house would see them talking to the guard in private.

After listening to their complaints, Haijiao said very simply: "Leave this matter to me." I went to tell the old military advisor about this, even if Mrs. Ma wanted to complain, she would complain about me. Although she is the elder of my aunt, she has nothing to do with me. I will be polite and polite to her, but I will not let myself be constrained for the sake of an irrelevant relative. ”

Ma Li and his son were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Haijiao waved his hand: "You are all about to become members of our family, what is a little favor for your own people?" Hurry up and pack your things and head into the city to meet your family. My grandma has a lot of work to do, waiting for someone to do it. ”

Ma Li's father and son hurriedly agreed, and they felt a little more stable in their hearts. How many years...... Since they followed their mother Zhou Ma into the third room of the Zhou family, they have never been so at ease. Knowing that the master will protect themselves, they can work with more confidence.

The reef calmed Ma Li and his son, and asked about the new news on the other village.

This time, Ma Li and his son were much more active, and tried to be detailed when answering questions, for fear of missing any important information and hindering the future little master.

The people from Beizhuang followed Mrs. Ma's henchmen all the way, and watched him enter the city and enter the third room of the Zhou family...... They finally knew that this person was not a killer accomplice pretending to be Mrs. Ma's men, but a real colleague of the Zhou family. Everyone was very depressed, knowing that they had made a fuss, but at the same time, they also added new doubts, and they didn't understand why Mrs. Ma had to get along with Jin Jiashu, a child?

Among the people in Beizhuang, there are those who used to work as errands under the old lady, and their hearts are towards the old lady's widow, advocating that everyone hide this matter and not let the old military master know what Mrs. Ma has done, so as not to misunderstand that Mrs. Ma is related to the murderer of the Jin family; But some people feel that Mrs. Ma's behavior is suspicious, and they think that they should report to the old military division and let the old military division come forward to persuade Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shigong, the current head of the third room, not to do anything that causes people to do anything suspicious.

The old military division was born under the command of the old lady of the third room, and the veterans in the village still regard him as their own.

People who hold these two views are at odds with each other, and no one has gone to Zhuangzi, a veteran of the Zhou family, to deliver a letter for the time being. The people from Zhuangzi, a veteran of the Zhou family, did not come over yesterday. As for the one who stayed in the village to protect Jin Jiashu, he was only responsible for protecting, and he would not leave the courtyard where Jin Jiashu lived if he ate, lived, or sleeped, and he didn't care about anything else.

Haijiao asked for this information, and he knew it in his heart. He went directly to the head of the village in Biezhuang and told the other party that Mrs. Ma intended to build a glass workshop in Biezhuang.

Haijiao made up a new set of narratives, claiming that Mrs. Ma pried the foot of the wall of the Chang'an glass workshop, and the news came from the Chang'an workshop. Haixiya, as the veteran of the Suzhou glass workshop, is very familiar with the glassmakers of the Chang'an workshop, and after arriving in Chang'an City, he has met with each other and heard some gossip. Because the mastermind of prying the foot of the wall was a prestigious old lady in the third room of the Zhou family, the people in the glass workshop had concerns and did not dare to speak out, so they had to quietly give Haixi Cliff a mouth, hoping that he could help talk to the Zhou family.

As for why Haijiao knew that Mrs. Ma was planning to build a workshop on Bezhuang, it was of course because Mrs. Ma had been forcing Zhou Ma's to transfer Bezhuang to Zhou Jinpu's name for free! Zhou Ma did not dare to reveal the news of the construction of the workshop, but it was impossible to hide the name of the marriage and family. In order not to offend her step-mother-in-law, she has been delaying this matter, but Mrs. Ma is pressing step by step, and now in order to prevent the people on the Zhou family's veteran Zhuangzi from paying attention to the new trends in the other village, she wants to use a plan to drive away Jin Jiashu, who is recuperating from her injuries in the village!

Don't Zhuang Zhuang suddenly realized. Mrs. Ma sent someone to Beizhuang to make trouble, it turned out that it had nothing to do with the murder of the Jin family, she just wanted to drive people away! He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But after breathing a sigh of relief, he began to struggle again. The Chang'an glass workshop is the industry of the border army, which is very profitable, and many people are blushing. He knew that. He also knew that the profits of the glass workshop would be used to buy grain and grass for military supplies, subsidize the border army, and some of them would be used to pay pensions to veteran or disabled soldiers. He's also a veteran and knows how useful the money is. If the profits of the glass workshop were reduced, the lives of many veterans like him would be affected.

Why did Mrs. Ma do such a thing? When the old lady was alive, he obviously cared about the lives of retired veterans. The old lady is in charge of the logistics in the army, and every year she has to find a way to squeeze out a sum of money and food to help the veterans and wounded soldiers who have been disarmed and returned to the field, and sometimes even pay out of her own pocket. Didn't the old lady still support the old lady's decision at that time? Why is she now competing with the frontier army's industry?

Zhuang Tou remembered the private discussions of the old servants in the third room of the Zhou family, and they all said that since the death of the old lady, the old lady's temperament has changed greatly, and she has begun to become mean and greedy for money. He thought it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it......

Zhuang Tou was in a heavy mood, but he still summoned all the veterans who had participated in yesterday's tracking operation and told them the truth, so that they would not have to quarrel over whether to tell the old military division or not.

Everyone was silent after hearing this. They didn't expect the truth to be like this.

Among them, one of the most loyal to the old lady, the old soldier, stood up angrily: "Old lady, isn't this nonsense?!" How could she go against the old lady's will?! No, I have to ask her for clarification! ”

Zhuang Tou hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you yelling about?" Let people know the old lady's plan, is there a light on the old lady's face?! When the time comes, even our old ladies will have no face to see people! ”

Another asked, "What now?" Do you want to persuade the old lady to stop it from others? They don't have that much to say, if the old military master comes forward to persuade him, the old lady may be able to listen, at least the fifth master will listen. ”

Zhuang Tou sighed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Huh? What about the eldest young master of the Hai family? He's still here. ”
