Although Haitang didn't understand why Zhou Shigong recommended this killer who claimed to be Zhang Pinggui to Minzhou Wei, he also knew that Zhang Pinggui was a dead soldier sent by the Sun family to kill the Jin family, and the Sun family was likely to have murderous intentions towards the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan and put them together.

Zhang Pinggui also lived in Zhou Shuyi's maiden home for a period of time, and it was Zhou Shuyi's brother who was able to enter Minzhou Wei. Once the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan had an accident, the Hou Mansion of Yingchuan traced it and discovered Zhang Pinggui's whereabouts, Zhou Shuyi would definitely be identified as the mastermind, and Zhou Shicheng would also become an accomplice, but Zhou Shigong really didn't know!

Even for the sake of her aunt Zhou Ma, Haitang didn't want Zhou Shigong to become a thorn in the side of the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion. His relationship with Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi can't be severed, even if he is affected by them, if he is regarded as one of the masterminds, it will be too wronged! Zhang Pinggui is obviously a killer raised by the Sun family, but he was not really sent by Zhou Shuyi.

But......

Haitang was anxious for Zhou Shigong, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Pinggui, as the killer of the Sun family, why did he hide in the third room of the Zhou family? Mrs. Ma claimed that he was the orphan of her son Zhou Shicheng in the old Minzhou Wei Department, and took him in at home, was he deceived by his fake identity, or was she actively helping him hide his identity?

The Hou Shizi of Yingchuan should not come to the northwest until next year to practice, right? If Zhou Shuyi had planned in advance and wanted to poison him, would it be necessary to arrange the killer to the place where the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan would serve this year?

Haitang raised his head and stared at Zhang Pinggui, feeling that he might be able to dig out many secrets. If he could pry his mouth open, Haijiao and many of the things that her brother and sister were worried about should have been solved, right?

At the moment when Haitang's mind was opened, Zhang Pinggui had already rejected Zhou Shigong's "kindness" as tactfully as possible. He said that he didn't want to go back to Minzhouwei, because his parents and relatives died there, which was a sad place for him; Second, the reason why he wanted to come to Chang'an was also because the military position passed down from his father and ancestors was seized by his uncle, and if he went back, it would depend on his uncle's face. He hopes to go to a place where he doesn't know him and start over, and prove himself with strength. Even if he doesn't have the shadow of his father and ancestors, he can rely on his true skills to gain a foothold in the army!

Zhang Pinggui's words were beautiful, but Zhou Shigong didn't take it too seriously. He grew up in a family of military generals, and he has heard too much of the beautiful words of the young soldiers in the army. On the contrary, he also felt that Zhang Pinggui was too cowardly to give up the foundation of the family inheritance from generation to generation because he was saddened by the death of his family and a little grudge with his uncle.

If Zhang Pinggui can get his recommendation, he will return to Minshanwei, and he will not have to compete with his uncle for the position. The uncle and nephew work together to support the family business and inherit the legacy of their father and ancestors, which is in line with the habitual thinking of the military generals in the northwest. And Zhang Pinggui had to stay away from his hometown in order not to see his uncle's face...... If he really has backbone, why should he ask for the Zhou family? Since you have taken the path of the Zhou family's daughters and sought a military position for yourself, don't say anything about "relying on your true ability to gain a foothold in the army".

Zhou Shigong didn't say much, only said lightly: "Since that's the case, then forget it." I asked Jinpu his younger brother to see if there was a shortage of people in Ningxia Zhongwei. He turned his head to look at his wife Zhou Mashi, "When you write to Jin Lin and report the safety of your granddaughter, mention it by the way." If he is short of people, it is better, and if there is no shortage, it is nothing. ”

Zhou Mashi hurriedly said: "Ningxia is too far away, and it is much harder than Minshanwei. Brother Zhang's future, Ah Jia has always been worried about it, and I am afraid that he will not be willing to let him go to such a remote place. ”

Zhou Shigong disagreed: "Where my son can go, why can't the son of my brother's subordinates go?" If my mother had to find fault with this, I would have to be wronged for Jin Lin. My mother, the stepmother, is really virtuous, and she is more attentive to her son and the people she wants to take care of than her own son! ”

Zhou Ma pursed his lips and was silent, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes. Fang Cai's words were naturally said by her deliberately. Although she is always invincible to her step-mother-in-law's methods, she will not miss it when it is time to slander.

Zhang Pinggui whispered to Zhou Shigong: "The old man is angry, the younger generation has no other ideas, Ningxia is also very good, and the younger generation is not afraid of hard work." It's just the future of the younger generation, and the previous Zhou Yan matter has been entrusted to the old lady, and the younger generation can only obey the old lady's orders. If she disobeys the old lady's wishes, I'm afraid that she will meet the old man's ......."

In short, he was not happy to go to Ningxia Zhongwei, so he had to let Mrs. Ma arrange his whereabouts.

Zhou Shigong is not a fool, how could he not hear what he meant? couldn't help but snort coldly: "That being the case, then forget it." If Mother has taken care of your future, why should I bother? You are one of theirs, and you don't need me to worry about it! I originally thought that for the sake of your father, who is also a martyr of the border army, I will give you a wealth and prosperity. Yingchuan Hou Shizi is going to Minzhou Wei to practice, you go on the same road with him, how much can you be familiar, if you can win the favor of such noble children, why worry about no good future in the future? Since you don't know how to lift up, and you have to obey the old lady's orders, then let it be! ”

Zhang Pinggui's color suddenly changed: "Hou Shizi of Yingchuan? He...... How could he go to Minzhou Wei?! ”

"If he wants to come to the northwest, he will go to Minzhou Wei, and there is no time to entertain him elsewhere!" Zhou Shigong shook his sleeves, "Since you don't go back to Minzhouwei, this matter has nothing to do with you, go back to your guest room and stay!" When your mother is free and can take the time to help you with your future, it's not too late for you to see her again. He smiled slightly, and his tone was calm, "I'm afraid that she has too many things to do, and she won't be able to remember you for a while." ”

Zhou Shigong turned around to leave, Zhang Pinggui's mind was in a mess, he didn't understand how things could suddenly change, and hurriedly wanted to catch up and ask: "Boss, walk slowly......" but was blocked by an arm stretched horizontally.

Haijiao stopped him: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?" My uncle didn't say anything special, he was kind enough to plan your future, but you also refused, why did you have a reluctant expression, as if your uncle had done something to offend you? What happened to the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan? You are the son of a Minzhou guard, do you still know the noble son of the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion? He went to Minzhou Wei, what is in your way? Don't you refuse to go back? ”

Zhou Shigong was attracted by the movement behind him, and subconsciously stopped at the door of the room, and after listening to Haijiao's questioning, he couldn't help but show a puzzled look.

He looked at Zhang Pinggui, and suddenly remembered what Haijiao had just said to him in the study, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted on the spot: "You are not from Minzhou!" You...... Are you a killer sent by Zhou Shuyi?! ”

Zhang Pinggui was taken aback, he didn't know where he had revealed his flaws, but he also knew that he had to go. He rushed out the door, only to be punched by the reef, and as soon as he turned sideways to avoid the attack, he was about to deal with a second punch from the reef.

Zhou Shigong was behind the door, so he naturally wouldn't stay where he was stupid when he saw this, hindering the reef to capture the enemy, and immediately went back to the house, blocked in front of his wife, and pulled his granddaughter by the hand.

Zhang Pinggui quickly fought with Haijiao for seven or eight rounds, and the more he fought, the more frightened he became, knowing that he would not be able to solve this young master who had chased him for miles for a while. But if you delay any longer, if you alarm the Fuzhong Nursing Hospital, they are all veterans from the border army, and if twenty or thirty people beat him, he really can't escape!

You have to find another way to get out!

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Pinggui caught a glimpse of Haitang standing alone on the side, remembering that she was the sister of the young man in front of him, if such a delicate little girl fell into his hands, how could her brother dare not give in?

Thinking so, he shook the reef away with a false move, then turned around and quickly attacked the begonia.
