Chapter 243: Eavesdropping
Under the cover of night, the reef cautiously crouched into the narrow passage between the back of the upper room of the main courtyard and the courtyard wall.
It wasn't until he came to the window sill that he stopped, straightened up, and held his breath to close his ear to the window, eavesdropping on the conversation in the room through the crack he had made beforehand.
In the main room of the upper room of the main courtyard, Xie Wenzaizheng whispered to his cousin Hai Xiya an important news: "...... Stopped and didn't alarm anyone. Du Boqin thought that the messenger had successfully left Chang'an. If we don't reveal the slightest rumor, he will not be suspicious until at least half a month later, when he can't receive a reply from the capital. Perhaps, he will suspect that the Sun family is not good at seeing the situation and doesn't want to care if he lives or dies. The Sun family has his son as a hostage, but he has ...... in his hands I'm afraid there is nothing. The Sun family wants to treat him as an outcast, what can he do? ”
Haixi Cliff pondered for a moment and said, "Is there really nothing to rely on in his hands?" Isn't that a bit silly? He sent his only son to the capital, so he wasn't afraid that after he finished the matter, the Sun family would turn against him and not recognize people? When the time comes, his only son's life is not guaranteed, and he will be betrayed by the Sun family at any time, wouldn't that be a chicken and an egg? What is he trying to do? I don't think he's stupid like that. He can come up with such a poisonous plan, he is a little bit of an eye, right? ”
Xie Wenzai thought for a while: "Maybe he also has the handle of the Sun family in his hand, right?" At least a handle that he himself thinks is useful. But in fact, it doesn't work, then only the Sun family knows. Even so, it was nothing, so Du Boqin couldn't wait for a reply from the capital, and mistakenly thought that the Sun family wanted rabbits and dogs to cook, and he was resentful. If he really has the handle of the Sun family in his hand, he can take revenge back. After all, the Zhenguo Mansion has a way to deal with Du Boqin, but it can't help the Sun family, and if they are let go so easily, it will be too embarrassing! ”
Hai Xiya nodded: "That's fine." Since Grandpa Guo has a plan in his heart, then I have nothing to worry about. That Du Boqin is cunning and vicious, if he really wants to leave the northwest with the power of the Sun family, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our border army to retaliate in the future. Can't let him get out of it safely! ”
Xie Wenzai said again: "Grandpa Guo personally ordered the personal soldiers around him to keep an eye on Du Boqin day and night. Whether it is the Du family's house in the city, or the manor outside the city, even the Chang'an avant-garde side, there are people who are watching, and they will not give him the opportunity to send out any letters. All the letters he wrote in his own hand will fall into the hands of Grandpa Guo, and they will be ready-made evidence of his guilt in the future. However, we are not sure that he will not be able to send a message to Beijing, so in order to act quickly enough, we must act fast enough, and we must crucify him to death before the official order is issued in the capital, and even if someone in the capital really comes to save him, the case will not be overturned! ”
"It's going to take stock of his accounts, isn't it?" Hai Xiya moved his arms and ten fingers, "Okay, no problem, just leave it to me!" You can get as many account books as you can from Du Boqin, and I will complete the inventory in the shortest possible time, and I will definitely not hold you back! ”
Xie Wenzai smiled when he heard this: "I know that when it comes to settling accounts, there is no one in the entire Northwest Frontier Army who is smarter than my cousin!" ”
Hai Xiya waved his hand: "I'm also old, my mind is not as clear as when I was young, and I don't dare to say that my ability to settle accounts is better than others, but I have more knowledge and experience, and I am not easy to be fooled by other people's fraudulent methods." The things that Du Boqin did were really annoying, and the Sun family was our old rival again. As long as I can get them to eat turtles, I will do my best. ”
Speaking of this, he paused: "However, just checking the accounts is enough to crucify Du Boqin?" He should also check his past experience, right? Maybe what's wrong? I know that this will take time, and it may not be possible to do it before the Sun family knows about it, but is there really no way for the Zhenguo Mansion to completely cut off Du Boqin's contact with the outside world? It's not that Zhang Pinggui and Wang Laoliu have already confessed the stronghold planted by the Sun family in Chang'an City, and the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division has locked all those people in prison. Could it be that there will be fish that will slip through the net? ”
"It's hard to say." Xie Wenzai said, "Zhang Pinggui is only responsible for the two goals of the Jin family and the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan, and rarely asks about other matters. Wang Lao Liu heard the news from the dead soldiers of the Sun family, who lived in Du's Zhuangzi in advance, and it was not told by Du Boqin. But those dead soldiers still refuse to speak, and no one knows if Wang Laoliu knows all the information. Maybe Du Boqin has reservations, or maybe Wang Laoliu has missed someone? Now the gossip in Chang'an City is full of news, if there is really a fish that has slipped through the net, it must have been believed, even if Du Boqin cannot be contacted, it is possible to send a message to the Sun family in the capital. In case the Sun family didn't receive Du Boqin's letter, but still let the military department give an order, wouldn't it be too cheap for them?! ”
Hai Xiya nodded: "Not bad." It's better to do more and work harder than to let them take advantage of the loopholes! ”
Then he lowered his voice a few points, so low that the reef tried his best to barely overhear six or seven percent: "Can the Sun family receive the letter and not mention it, cousin, do you need to inform Lord Tao?" Even if the Sun family sensed that something was wrong and directly ordered the military department, someone should stop it and let the emperor know that Du Boqin was not a good person. Even if he is transferred to the capital in the end, he can't easily enter the military department as a senior official, and in turn cause us trouble! ”
Xie Wenzai pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I should indeed inform Brother Tao." Governor Huang's side should soon give the emperor a secret fold, and Brother Tao will know about it sooner or later. I'm in Chang'an, and I know the inside story of the whole thing, if I don't mention it to Brother Tao, I'm afraid he will complain about me. ”
Hai Xiya said with a smile: "Whether you complain or not, it's all a trivial matter." I think that in case Du Boqin really didn't know that his letter had not been delivered to the Sun family, and mistakenly thought that the Sun family was going to abandon him, he decided to take revenge with hatred and took out the handle of the Sun family...... Whether that handle works or not, we need someone to tell the emperor about it.
"Don't always think that the emperor will protect the Sun family everywhere. This time, the Sun family not only cheated the Zhou family and the northwest generals, but the killers they sent also killed the Jin family. Isn't that a relative of Concubine Xu Xian? Could it be that Concubine Xu Xian can sit idly by? Or can the emperor allow the Sun family to kill Concubine Xu Xian's mother's family, and then threaten her and the lives of the Eighth Emperor? ”
Xie Wenzai didn't answer for a long time, but Haixi Cliff didn't say anything more. Judging by their illuminated figures, it was clear that they had made their decision.
Haijiao listened quietly through the window, and suddenly heard a slight mouse call, and knew that it was his sister Haitang who was giving himself a code, so he hurriedly bent down again, held his breath, lightened his steps, and quietly and quickly left the small sandwich road.
When he returned to the side room where he lived, he heard his sister Haitang stop in front of the door of the side room and was talking to his grandmother Ma: "Really! Didn't you hear that? I heard rats! It's horrible! Ming'er has to have someone clean every corner of the yard! ”
Ma said: "In such a cold weather, where will there be mice?" You must have heard it wrong! What are you doing here at night? Aren't you afraid of the wind? Beware of Ming'er getting up with a headache! Hurry up and go back to the house! As he spoke, he walked to his grandson's house, and when he entered the door, he found that there was no one in the house, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Bao Shunli?" Didn't you mean reading in the house? ”
Haitang had already seen his brother's reef, and hurriedly gave him a look, and he quickly slipped back to the backyard.
Hai Jiao re-showed a nonchalant expression, and entered the house with a smile: "Why is Grandma here?" I'm just reading a little boring, and I'm going out to breathe......"
