It was almost evening, and the Hai brothers and sisters had to rush home to have dinner, and they didn't dare to chat on the way.

Moreover, with Ma Changnian and his wife here, even if Haitang and Haijiao are talking in the carriage, it is inconvenient.

Therefore, the brother and sister said that they would not tell their sister about their experience in the Zhenguo Mansion for the time being, and when they got home, they would find leisure time to chat.

It didn't take long for the siblings to get home. Ma Changnian and his wife drove the car, and the reef led the horse, and went to the carriage shed first. Haitang stayed in the front yard to wait for her brother, but saw her cousin Xie Wenzai change into a winter robe that went out, and walked out of the guest room with a little joy on his face.

Haitang hurriedly saluted him: "Uncle Cousin, is this going out?" ”

Xie Wenzai nodded with a smile: "I was about to go to the Zhenguo Mansion." When he looked up and saw the reef coming out of the carriage shed, he suddenly smiled even more happily, "This is just coming back from the third room of the Zhou family?" Good boy, I've heard it all, you guys are doing well! ”

Hai Jiao hurriedly greeted Xie Wenzai and asked the same question as his sister.

Xie Wenzai replied in more detail this time: "It's because the people you caught confessed a lot of secrets, and the old military advisor sent someone to send me a letter, asking me to go over and help me go over to see what to do next." After a while, you will see your cousin and sister-in-law, and confess for me, I can't eat dinner at home today, and I guess I will have to spend the night in the Guogong Mansion in the evening, so that the porter doesn't have to leave the door for me. ”

Hai Jiao was surprised: "Are you planning to stay up all night?" While witnesses are important, so is your body. ”

Xie Wenzai smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." So saying, he took the hem of his robe and walked out quickly.

Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian also walked out of the house at some point. Looking at Xie Wenzai's departing back, the latter couldn't help sighing: "He just heard a report from someone, saying that he had caught an important person and took Sun Gelao's handle, and he was so happy that he almost didn't jump." This time he has calmed down, but how can the joy in his heart be hidden? Even walking a little faster than usual. ”

Cao Gengyun said: "When we hear such good news, why don't we rejoice? Don't say that Lao Xie almost didn't jump, I really jumped! If I can really bring down the old man surnamed Sun, I will not be able to return to the dynasty for the rest of my life, and I am willing! is such an old fox, who has been powerful in the court for decades, how many people have been killed by him? Now that he finally has a way to deal with him, it is naturally a great joy. It's a pity that I'm not as smart as Lao Xie them, otherwise I would have to help come up with an idea. ”

Hai Jiao blinked, hesitated and said, "Grandpa Cao, Grandpa Lu, although the person caught this time can testify against Elder Sun Ge, but ...... It may not really bring him down. If the emperor doesn't want to dispose of him, no matter how many witnesses there are, it's useless, not to mention that we only have a small person in our hands? He was worried that the elders would be too concerned about the matter, and that if it didn't work out, they would be disappointed and sad.

Cao Gengyun disagreed: "Don't you know when we don't know? Baoshun, your Grandpa Cao, Grandpa Lu, and Cousin Xie have eaten more salt than you have eaten in their lives, how can you not know that the old fox surnamed Sun is not so easy to overthrow? But if the Zhenguo Mansion is not sure, it will not let the messenger say such things to your cousin. It can be seen that the witnesses in their hands are indeed somewhat useful. I heard that you caught that man? Then you know who he is. You just say, is this person a threat to the old man surnamed Sun? ”

Of course there is. Zhang Pinggui's biggest threat to Sun Ge Lao is that he can prove to Yingchuan Hou that Sun Ge Lao, a colleague with whom he has always gotten along well and has formed a family with whom he has formed a family of children and daughters, actually thinks that his son is in the way and wants his son's life!

Once the Marquis of Yingchuan and Sun Ge Lao turned against each other, and the two important ministers of the Emperor Deguang began to fight openly and secretly, Sun Ge Lao did not want to go on again. Compared with the confidants and generals who held the forbidden army and guarded the palace, Sun Ge Lao was not the pro-head of the future prince, and he always went against the emperor's wishes, and wanted to let the prince who was disgusted with his father's self-invitation to return to the imperial family, and the emperor naturally knew which side to choose.

As long as the emperor made up his mind to appoint the eighth prince as the prince, then for the sake of a smooth change of throne, he would sooner or later kick Sun Ge Lao out of the cabinet. If the Marquis of Yingchuan stands on the opposite side of the Sun family, this day will come sooner or later, and it will be able to come several years in advance.

Haijiao clearly knew what was likely to happen in the future, but it was not easy to talk to the two elders Cao and Lu, so he could only answer vaguely: "There is indeed a threat." ”

"Isn't that enough?!" Cao Gengyun laughed and said, "As long as the Sun family eats turtles, we will be happy!" He pulled his old friend Lu Bainian, "Let's go back to the house and drink." I just got a jar of good willow wine yesterday, and I'm happy today, just floating a lot! ”

Haitang saw the two elders enter the house, then turned around and went to the kitchen, and instructed Cui Dazhuang's daughter-in-law to first send some hot food to Cao and Lu, the two elders who could fill their stomachs, and then send a few side dishes to drink, so as to help them drink.

When she returned to the courtyard, she saw that the reef was still standing still, so she stepped forward and nudged him: "What is my brother doing standing here stupidly?" ”

Hai Jiao turned his head to look at her and smiled bitterly: "Although with Zhang Pinggui this time, I am sure that the Marquis of Yingchuan will turn his face with Sun Gelao, but if things don't go as smoothly as we expected, what should we do?" ”

"What to do? Cold! Begonia lowered her voice very low, "Now the situation is more than ten times better than the previous life you have experienced." At least we solved the matter of Zhou Shuyi's murder and his mother's family in advance, and Yingchuan Hou also knew who really wanted to kill his son, and he would no longer misunderstand the Zhou family and be in cahoots with Sun Ge. My brother is so actively involved in this matter, isn't he just looking forward to the Zhou family being able to keep in charge of the border army and sit in the northwest? If this goal can be achieved, what does it matter? ”

"Little sister is right." Hai Jiao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, "Anyway, the old thief surnamed Sun won't be able to live for a few years." Uncle Cousin had already persuaded Master Tao Yue Tao to take action in advance, and he would not let Sun Ge Lao continue to run rampant in the court. Wait until the emperor canonizes the prince ...... "after the new king ascends the throne......

He didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but the brother and sister looked at each other and knew it in their hearts.

Haitang also whispered: "The Zhenguo Mansion specially invited my cousin to discuss Zhang Pinggui's affairs, I guess it's because my cousin has given them a lot of good ideas, and he is a master of strategy, and secondly, he also wants to ...... Borrow your cousin's uncle's letter and reveal the news to Master Tao Yue Tao in Beijing, right? If the Marquis of Yingchuan really wants to turn against Sun Ge Lao, and one more Tao Master is on his side, the scale in the emperor's heart will not be biased towards Sun Ge Lao. ”

Because Sun Ge Lao cannot replace Yingchuan Hou, but Tao Yue can replace Sun Ge Lao.

Haijiao blinked: "You say, when will the concubine Xu Xian in the palace hear the news that the Sun family sent someone to hunt down and kill the Jin family?" Jin Jiashu survived, she should be happy, right? If even she is against Sun Ge Lao ......"

Begonia blinked: "Well...... If you want to convince Concubine Xu Xian, it is best to ask Jin Jiashu to write a handwritten letter, but I don't know where to send this letter so that it can reach Concubine Xu Xian? ”

Hai Jiao thought for a while: "Tomorrow, I will first go to find Huang Zhutou and ask the Du family how the investigation is, if there is any progress, I will even give the news of Zhang Pinggui's arrest to Jin Jiashu, so that he can rest assured." All the killers who wanted to kill him have been caught, and no one will try to harm him for the time being. ”

Haitang looked in the direction of the main courtyard, and the upper room seemed to have been lit: "Brother, let's go see Grandma first." What happened today should also be reported to her old man. When we go back, we have to go to Uncle Ma and Grandpa and ask him to give a message to the Tu family, don't cover up for Mrs. Ma in front of Zhou Jinpu. If you can't take advantage of the situation to completely pull Mrs. Ma off the horse, your aunt and grandmother will not be able to live a comfortable life in the third room of the Zhou family. ”
