Chapter 215: Rank Wen
Zhang Pinggui's cheekiness and cunning are spurned, but his stupidity and conceit make people sigh.
How confident is he that he thinks that he is good enough that he will not be killed by the Sun family afterwards, but will be accepted as a member of the family?
If the Sun family really has people from the side tribe who need heirs, and the He family has young children to choose from, why is it cheap for Zhang Pinggui, an outsider whose background and resume are tainted? If you really want to reward him, a sum of silver will be enough. Of course, the cost of a glass of poisoned wine will be lower, and it is not easy to leave hidden dangers afterwards.
Hai Jiao can only say this: "No one in his life has really taught others to be sophisticated." When he was a child, his father taught him light martial arts, and his mother taught him to read and settle accounts and the rules of a wealthy family. As long as Zhou Shuyi wants him to be a snitch, and the Sun family only needs him to be an inner ghost, who will be patient to teach him? He only thinks that he is smart and capable, and even a powerful person like the Sun family has offered good conditions to win him over, but he has never really seen the sinister world. He probably felt that the suffering he had experienced was rare in the world. ”
But in fact, although Zhang Pinggui has encountered a lot of bad people, there are also many good people. If it weren't for Zhou Shuyi's adoption by a kind-hearted farmer on the Zhuangzi, and the teacher in the nearby village was willing for him to eavesdrop on the lessons, how could he grow up so safely, still read and write, and be qualified to claim to be smart and talented? But he doesn't seem to think it's someone else's kindness, but thinks that it's all won by his own ingenuity.
Haijiao said to his sister: "Listening to him talk about his past misfortunes, I can't help but think of my last life. But as long as I left Suzhou in my last life, and after returning to my hometown, I could meet a few kind-hearted villagers like him, and I would not have to flee thousands of miles to death. But I was so miserable and embarrassed that I never thought of becoming a bandit. He has always been helped by well-wishers, so why did he take the initiative to go down the evil path? ”
Haitang said softly: "Of course, this is because my brother and Zhang Pinggui are not the same kind of people in nature. My brother is a righteous gentleman, no matter how difficult the situation is, he will work hard to earn a way to live for himself. But Zhang Pinggui is greedy for life and afraid of death, and tends to be inflammatory, even if he meets the help of well-wishers, his roots are crooked, and he can't grow into a towering tree. My brother doesn't have to compare himself with Zhang Pinggui. Where is he worthy of being compared to you? ”
Haijiao laughed when he heard this: "That's right, I really don't need to be presumptuous. In my previous life, even if I was a secret agent's messenger and couldn't get on the stage, I also worked for the government, and received money and food in Jinyiwei. What is Zhang Pinggui? To put it nicely, he is a lackey of the powerful, but in fact he is just a killer and a dead man who cannot see the light. ”
Haitang feels that it is not accurate enough to use the words "killer and dead man" to describe Zhang Pinggui. He was ordered to come to the northwest to kill people, but in fact, he had not killed a single person. He had never done anything in his previous life, and it was the one who killed the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan who killed his wife, and he completed the task without doing anything. Does he deserve to be called a "killer and a dead man"? When he fell into the hands of the Hai family brothers and sisters, he never thought of cutting himself off and doing his duty as a "dead man"!
Hai Jiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, he is indeed not a killer, let alone a dead man." When the Kim family was killed, he was only responsible for watching the horses. When the killers went to kill Jin Jiashu's mouth, he was only responsible for finding out the news, and he stayed behind to guard the Du family Zhuangzi. He really didn't kill anyone seriously, and when we called him the eighth killer, we exalted him. ”
Haijiao also talked about a small story that Zhang Pinggui confessed.
Zhang Pinggui confessed to Du Boqin, who was indeed an ally of the Sun family in the Northwest Frontier Army, or Sun Yonglu bought people over during the Frontier Army. Zhang Pinggui has been hiding in Du's Zhuangzi since he followed other killers to the vicinity of Chang'an, claiming that he is a disciple of the Sun family's side branch, and this time he is here to experience and accept the test, and also revealed to Du Boqin himself that after the Jin family is in trouble, he will enter the border army incognito and perform a secret mission, and ask Du Boqin to take care of it.
Du Boqin only regarded him as being like Sun Yonglu, who was placed in the Northwest Frontier Army by the Sun family, and hid his identity just to avoid attracting the attention of the Zhou family, and really took care of him as a nephew......
Even a group of dead soldiers sent to Chang'an by the Sun family in advance to have other tasks believed that Zhang Pinggui was a child of the Sun family and regarded him as an important nobleman of the main family.
When the veterans of the Zhou family entered the village to search for people, these dead soldiers did not hesitate to expose their identities in order to cover Zhang Pinggui's escape. At that time, they really thought that Zhang Pinggui's surname was Sun, and he must not be caught by the Zhou family, and they didn't know at all, he just borrowed his "future" identity in advance, and was actually the same person as them......
Haitang couldn't help laughing: "If Du Boqin knew that he was deceived by such a small person as Zhang Pinggui, and because he leaked the biggest secret, I don't know how he would feel?" ”
Haijiao smiled: "No matter what he thinks, when he chose to betray the Zhou family and the Northwest Frontier Army, he should have expected such a day." ”
Haitang thought for a while: "In this way, Zhang Pinggui explained in detail, he should be able to win the trust of the Marquis of Yingchuan, right?" ”
Reef nodded. Although the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan has not yet come to the northwest, and the so-called assassination plan has not yet been written, Zhou Shuyi and the Huangque Sun family behind her have already begun to plan the whole thing, and have made a lot of preparations in order to clear the suspicion in the future. These things leave a mark. If Yingchuan Hou and his wife have the heart to investigate, it is definitely not difficult to find traces of spiders and worms.
Even if they don't investigate, they only need to mention the marriage date between the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan and Miss Sun, and the Sun family will show their feet sooner or later. However, in this way, the personal safety of the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan is not guaranteed. God knows if the Sun family is forced to be in a hurry, what means will they use?
Haitang hesitated a little: "If something like this happens, the Marquis of Yingchuan shouldn't send his son to the northwest to experience anymore, right?" ”
"That's something that Yingchuan Hou has to think about, so we don't need to worry about him." Haijiao glanced at his sister, and couldn't help but show joy between his eyebrows, "Today, the prince of Zhenguo praised me." The old military advisor also said a lot of words of encouragement to me. To be honest, if it weren't for my grandfather and grandmother who were always thinking about going back to their hometown, and my cousin and uncle who also intended to return to Beijing, I really think it would be good to stay in Chang'an. As long as the Northwest Frontier Army is still under the control of the marshals and generals of the Zhou family, I may have a better future here, at least better than in my hometown. ”
Haitang raised her eyebrows: "Brother doesn't think about the benefactor of Datong?" ”
Haijiao's face was slightly red: "Zhuang Shitong's grandfather is still here, with his old man in charge, how can the people of Datong dare to bully Miss Zhuang?" If Grandpa Zhuang takes his granddaughter directly to Chang'an, I don't need to go through the trouble of running to Datong. ”
Haitang glanced at his brother: "Then it depends on my brother's ability." If you have a way to convince Grandpa Zhuang to pick up his granddaughter, it will be great. As for grandpa and grandma...... Grandpa was thinking about going back to his hometown, but Grandma couldn't wait to stay in Chang'an. After all, this is her hometown. ”
Hai Jiao listened, nodded slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Grandfather and grandmother, which side should he stand on?
But it's all trivial.
Now that the biggest pit that the Zhou family jumped in their previous life has been solved, and the traitor Du Boqin has also been exposed, the Marquis of Yingchuan will no longer be an enemy of the Zhou family, but is about to turn against the Sun family...... Everything is moving in a good direction. The reef feels that the future will be brighter as well.
He took a deep breath of cold fresh air: "Ming'er, I'll go to Jin Jiashu and find a way to bring Concubine Xu Xian over first!" ”
Begonia blinked: "Speaking of which...... Does Zhang Pinggui know why the Sun family killed the Jin family? ”
