After sending Hai Chang'an away, Haijiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he sneaked out of the door for the first time without telling his family, he was discovered by the second uncle, but he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and the second uncle quickly forgave him and promised to help him keep it secret. That's the big win!

With such a time, if Jin Jiashu encounters any trouble in the future, maybe he can still ask the second uncle for help.

Turning around, Haijiao looked at the little sister Begonia, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How did the second uncle find out that I wasn't there?" He rarely comes to my house. ”

Begonia sighed: "It's really a mistake today!" ”

At first, it was because she saw that it was almost noon, and she was worried that her cousin Xie Wenzai would immediately come to ask for notes after returning home. Today, my grandmother Ma is not at home, and my cousin has fewer scruples, and he may go directly to the main courtyard to find the reef at any time. As soon as he entered the door, he would find that the reef was not in the house, and in order to prevent this from happening, Begonia decided to take the initiative to send the notes to the front yard.

At that time, there was really no one guarding the account books, but Begonia had confirmed before going out that there was no light in the house, and there was no brazier, the kang was warm, but the open fire in the stove next to the door had been extinguished, and there was only a little fire left, so it was impossible to burn the entire stove and then spread to the kang across a wall. The windows were closed, and the doors were closed, so it was easy for no one to enter. Haitang didn't know that there were Du Boqin's personal soldiers watching on the street outside, but he just thought that his second uncle Hai Chang'an was staying in the opposite wing room, and he would come back soon, so he decided that the account books in this house were safe.

It's a pity that Xie Wenzai hasn't gone home yet, Haitang pounced, and when he was about to come back, he heard that his grandmother was going to stay at Ma's house for dinner, and he was going to eat alone at noon. She took the buns and hot soup directly from the kitchen, also to save trouble. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the main courtyard, she would meet the second uncle coming out, and the amount of lunch in her hand exposed the fact that she only brought food for herself, and asked the second uncle to see her enter her brother's house.

If her brother was in the house, why did she only bring lunch for one person?

Haitang stretched out his hand towards the reef: "Look, it's so unlucky." I prevaricated at the time, thinking that my second uncle had already believed it. Unexpectedly, when I finished eating and opened the window for ventilation, I saw my second uncle standing outside the door. He wants to come in, and I can't stop him......"

Hai Jiao showed a helpless expression. This time it was really bad luck. Who would have thought that when the little sister brought food back to the house, she would meet the second uncle?

That's it, and he has nothing to complain about. Anyway, the second uncle had promised to keep it secret for him, so there was nothing for him to worry about.

Haijiao put this matter aside, and began to apologize solemnly to Xiaomei: "I shouldn't have left you here alone, and I also hid it from the rest of the family." If Du Boqin's own soldiers really sneaked into our house in broad daylight and found the account books in this house, I don't know what kind of crazy thing they would do! I almost put you in danger, which you really shouldn't have. Good sister, don't be angry with your brother, my brother will never make this kind of mistake again in the future. ”

Begonia really didn't take this matter to heart: "What's this?" I'm not a weak woman who can't be helped. Even if Du Boqin's people did come in, I would still be able to handle it. The second uncle is mainly worried because he doesn't recognize my strength. Brother, you know my ability, why do you still treat me as a weakling? ”

Haijiao sighed: "Although you have learned martial arts well, and your strength is not small, but Du Boqin's personal soldiers are good soldiers who are fierce soldiers, and if you say it ugly, they are bandits, and they kill people without blinking." They are armed with sharp blades, and if a dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, killing someone is nothing. Even if I know that you have the ability to protect yourself, I can't help but worry about whether you will be hurt. ”

Begonia waved his hand: "If it doesn't happen, we don't have to scare ourselves." Although Grandpa has been famous for a long time, Du Boqin is still young, and obviously does not understand Grandpa's ability, and he is the first to suspect others. The second uncle found the soldiers who were watching in time, and informed the people of the Zhenguo Mansion to strengthen the protection of this street, and scared the people away. Our home is safe at the moment, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Haijiao was a little curious: "Second Uncle Fang Cai said that Du Boqin suspected the old Zhu who lived in the back of the Ya in Chang'an County...... Who is this? ”

Haitang has already heard Hai Chang'an introduce this person: "It is the master of the accounting room in the Shaanxi Dusi, the family originally served in the Chang'an County Yamen for generations, and in his generation, his brother went to the county government to do things, and he was idle at home. On weekdays, he dealt with his grandfather, and I heard that they got along well. Today is also his bad luck, he happened to have a cold, and he took leave to rest at home for a few days. When Du Boqin heard about it, he thought that he was entrusted by the Duke of Zhenguo to take leave to check the accounts of the Chang'an avant-garde at home! ”

Haijiao suddenly realized, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but settle down a little: "In this way, the reason why Du Boqin didn't suspect our grandfather is actually because my grandfather never took leave and has been going to the yamen as usual, right?" He didn't even know what his grandfather was capable of, and it was even more impossible for him to know that his grandfather had a good helper like me. ”

Haitang smiled: "Maybe he still suspected his cousin, but his cousin only stayed at home for one day, and today he went out to the Zhenguo Mansion. Besides, even if Du Boqin knew that your brother had also learned to settle accounts, he would not suspect you when he saw you going out today. There are so many people in our family going out today, where does it seem that there is some secret hidden? ”

That's really crooked.

Other people will go out at this time, and they are actually Du Boqin's pots, such as Cao and Lu, who wanted to find someone to inquire about him; And Ma's sent someone to invite him back because Uncle Ma wanted to find his sister to discuss the current turmoil in Chang'an's avant-garde; Even Haijiao himself will go out because he wants to persuade Jin Jiashu to send a letter to his family as soon as possible, and Du Boqin is also involved in the case of the Jin family. Du Boqin's own "sleepiness" unexpectedly dispelled his suspicions about the Hai family, which can only be said to be providential.

Hai Jiao said: "Although someone has blocked the disaster for our family this time, Du Boqin's actions now have reached the level of blatantness and recklessness. In order to prevent him from jumping off the wall in a hurry and doing something crazy, we still have to speed up, quickly complete the investigation of the accounts of the Chang'an avant-garde for more than ten years, find out the evidence of his crimes as soon as possible, and control him. ”

Haitang blinked: "Since that's the case, I'll help my brother, right?" You can see how I'm doing, and I'll be able to help you! ”

Haijiao laughed when he heard this: "I'm just doing grandpa a favor." It's nothing for you to help me, but if grandpa knows about this, I don't know what his old man will say. If you want to be scolded at that time, you just have to stand behind me, don't say anything, how I can explain, you just need to nod. ”

Is Haijiao planning to take all the blame on himself?

Haitang smiled: "Brother doesn't have to be scolded in a hurry. I think that if I can help my grandfather complete the task of taking the account as soon as possible, and there will be no mistakes, even if my grandfather knows that I have been involved, he will not scold me, at most he will just say a few words, and tell me not to hide it from him in the future. Compared with his own granddaughter, who knows how to settle accounts, participated in the audit of accounts, it is naturally more important to find the evidence of Du Boqin's crime as soon as possible. The Zhenguo Mansion is still waiting for the results of Grandpa's audit. He couldn't take leave from the yamen, and he couldn't devote himself to the task. As grandchildren, we can take the initiative to share his worries out of filial piety, how can he really be angry? ”
