Chapter 186: An Unexpected Clue

Ma did not know the latest progress of the investigation of the Jin family's murder case, and did not pay special attention to the keyword "Chang'an avant-garde".

She just complained in a normal tone: "It would be good if the eldest brother hadn't been transferred to the Chang'an avant-garde back then, if he was still in the Chang'an right guard, it would be a place where the family had been in the family for several generations, and the connections were familiar, so I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to arrange two nephews?" Chang'an avant-garde had no friendship with the old man in the past, and the old man couldn't speak. ”

Uncle Ma coughed lightly twice, pretending to drink tea, and wanted to signal his wife to pour him a cup.

Uncle Ma's wife didn't move, and said with a straight face: "Second aunt, is this complaining?" Back then, he persuaded the old man to transfer to Chang'an Avant-garde, but he lost the old relationship of the Ma family in Chang'an Right Guard for several lifetimes, and the children couldn't be promoted or come out, all of which were harmful. ”

Uncle Ma hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could little sister mean that?! ”

"That's what the second aunt meant, but in front of the master, she refused to explain it." Although Mrs. Ma tried hard to straighten her face, her eyes were still obviously red, "I also knew that I had a bad idea back then, but I also thought about my lord." When the old lady went to Shanhaiwei, the old man stayed in Chang'an Youwei alone, and it was difficult to support it alone, and the opportunity for promotion was taken by others, and the man was desperately squeezing out the master. The eldest aunt and wife couldn't speak in the third room of the Zhou family, which caused the old man to be wronged. went to Chang'an avant-garde, and at least there were one or two brothers to take care of. Besides, the commander there is the Zhou family, and the master is the in-law of the Zhou family, and it is better to talk to relatives than others. ”

Mrs. Ma didn't think that it was wrong to persuade her husband to change the bathroom, but that the couple was unlucky. Her maiden brother died on the battlefield a few years later, and the cousin who succeeded her did not have a good relationship with her, and the commander surnamed Zhou was also killed more than ten years ago, and the Chang'an avant-garde was replaced with a new commander. The new commander is not surnamed Zhou, he is fair, and he does not give leniency to Uncle Ma just because he is an in-law of the Zhou family. Although Uncle Ma has military merits and is not incompetent, his life is much more difficult than before.

In contrast, Chang'an's right guard has changed its situation. The boss who robbed Uncle Ma of the promotion opportunity and excluded him was dismissed for crime within a few years, and the person who took over happened to be Uncle Ma's hair and had a close relationship with the Ma family. Ma took her husband Haixiya back to Chang'an, asked her brother and sister for help, but couldn't, or took the relationship of this brother, and got her husband into the right guard of Chang'an. But Uncle Ma, who had been transferred to the avant-garde of Chang'an, could not be transferred back, and because the commanders of the two guards had a grudge, the personnel of the two guards did not interact much on weekdays. When the elder brother died on the battlefield, Uncle Ma was completely estranged from the old people of Chang'an Right Guard.

At that time, Uncle Ma and his wife didn't think there was any regret about this, thinking that there was a relationship between the three rooms of the Zhou family, and there was no need for the old friends. I didn't expect that this in-law was unreliable at all, Uncle Ma had a leg disease again, and it was difficult to be promoted in the Chang'an Health Center, and now the children and grandchildren in the family are not going well, and their husband and wife want to find someone to help, but they have nowhere to find it, and it is too late to regret it.

Uncle Ma's wife knew that she was responsible for the Ma family's current predicament, but she didn't want to ask the sisters-in-law to talk, so she put on a tough attitude.

The two sisters-in-law have been rich since they got married, but only he and his wife have become more and more miserable in the Ma family. The eldest sister-in-law took away a large amount of dowry by marrying high, which caused the Ma family to have a deficit, and she obviously married into a high family, but she couldn't help her brother's career; The sister-in-law married a little person who couldn't help, and she went to the frontier for more than ten years, and she couldn't give her mother's hand if she had money. The two sisters have made no contribution to the Ma family, so why should they say cool things?

Ma looked at Uncle Ma's wife with an angry look on her face, and she didn't bother to quarrel with this sister-in-law. The elder brother transferred away from the Ma family to serve for generations in Chang'an, the right guard was a stupid move, what is the boss's temporary exclusion? Since the Ma family is the in-laws of the Zhou family, can the new boss still kick people out of the guard for no reason? After a few years of endurance, the new boss was dismissed for crime, and that position was Uncle Ma's. If he makes another military exploit after the war, are you still afraid that he will not be promoted?

It's good to go through the Chang'an avant-garde, and everything has to be struggled again, and after more than 30 years, the civilian job is on the battlefield, and it is just from the five grades of Wei Zhenfu. If he had stayed in the right guard of Chang'an, he would have been the commander of the fourth product a long time ago, and he was afraid that he would not be able to arrange the whereabouts of his two sons?

It was useless to say too many of these words, Ma Shi only asked his brother: "How is the eldest brother doing in Chang'an avant-garde now?" You complain about illness all day long, and your boss and colleagues don't say anything? What are the new rules for that Commander Du? Where is Lu Yuan Lusheng worse than others? ”

Uncle Ma sighed: "With this kind of appearance, people naturally don't like it." But he has military merits and is the in-law of the Zhou family, and the commander of the Zhou family is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. If Da Lang Erlang had a good future, he would have died of old age a long time ago, and he would not have occupied his position. But who made both of your nephews useless? I had no choice but to be cheeky and continue to stay in the guard. ”

Uncle Ma's wife said busily: "Although the avant-garde commanders of Chang'an have changed several times, when you left more than ten years ago, it was still the Zhou family who was in power. The commander Du who has taken over now is also the son-in-law of the former commander, they are all a family, and they are still taken care of by the masters, knowing that his old trouble fell on the battlefield, and he will not talk about it, and insist on dismissing him. ”

Commander Du was so kind, she had long thought in her heart that she would send her two sons to him as personal soldiers, as long as she could get his favor, was she afraid that her sons would not have a good future? It's a pity that the eldest son's father-in-law arranged the son-in-law's place without authorization, and she had to plan for the younger son. Helplessly, Ma Lusheng is good in everything, filial piety, obedient and caring, but he has no real skills, and he can't do everything in riding and archery martial arts, and it's no wonder that Commander Du dislikes it.

She said unwillingly: "Ezheng is about to say a good family to Lu Sheng's daughter, as long as this family business can be successful, Lu Sheng will definitely be able to find an official in Chang'an, which is more decent than being a personal soldier of the commander!" ”

Ma raised his eyebrows: "What kind of family matter, so useful?" You can't fall in love with the young master who commands the envoy, right? ”

Mrs. Ma curled the corners of her mouth proudly and did not speak.

Hearing this, Haijiao's heart moved slightly: "Uncle, have you ever heard the news outside?" Chang'an's avant-garde commander Du has made a big deal recently! It's not good to get too close to his house at this time. ”

He slightly deleted the news he heard from the old military division yesterday, added oil and vinegar, and pieced together a plausible version: "In the murder case that happened outside the city not long ago, the people in the government government caught the murderer, and the person hid in the Dujia Zhuangzi. When the officers and soldiers went to arrest people, the people of Dujiazhuang were still desperately trying to prevent the officers and soldiers from arresting people! The killer was able to escape. The government government found the heads of the pro-soldiers of Commander Du, who claimed that they had not been out of the guard, but they were exposed as lying. Now Commander Du didn't know why his subordinates were involved in the case, and he didn't dare to see Zhen Guogong at all, so he had to deduce that his concubine made his own opinion, but the concubine committed suicide in fear of crime, and there was no proof of death. ”

"What?!" Mrs. Ma's face suddenly changed greatly, "How could the second lady ...... I haven't heard of any rumors! ”

Uncle Ma was also shocked: "Recently, the forehead and leg disease has been severe, and your uncle and grandmother have not gone out, and they don't know anything about the outside world." She was familiar with the second lady of the Du family, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen...... But the second lady is a notoriously honest person, how can it be related to the murderer? ”

Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows: "Uncle is an avant-garde person in Chang'an, didn't he find anything wrong with the personal soldiers around the commander?" People outside said that Commander Du had long been dissatisfied with the Zhou family. ”

Uncle Ma hesitated: "I did hear some rumors...... But I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Haijiao's eyes lit up slightly: "What does my uncle know?" Can you tell me about it? ”
