Chapter 264: Don't Confess to Yourself
As soon as the second room of the Jin family entered Chang'an City, Haitang Reef got the news.
Haijiao found a familiar errand boy and sent a letter to Jin Jiashu on the Zhou family's three-room village. But Jin Jiashu didn't say anything in reply, just thanked him for passing the message, and seemed to be quite able to sit still.
Haijiao couldn't help but complain to his sister Haitang in private: "It can be seen that Jin Jiashu is really calm." He was sure that the second room of the Jin family really didn't know the truth, and he wasn't worried that they would leak their mouths at all! ”
Haitang asked him: "Does my brother know when the government will interrogate the people in the second room of the Jin family?" The Zhenguo Mansion shouldn't ignore it, right? Although Empress Dowager Zhou said the situation of the Jin family in the letter, how could Zhen Guogong find out how Jin Juren died so that he could send a letter to Jingli, right? ”
"I heard that the letter from Zhenguo Gong to Jingzhong has been sent." Haijiao said, "What the second room of the Jin family will say, it's all a side branch, just write a letter to supplement it in the future." When Jin Juren's family was killed, they were still in Pingyang Mansion, and they had never seen anything, so what new confessions could they say? What should be explained, Zhang Pinggui and Wang Laoliu have explained. Zhen Guogong doesn't know the true relationship between Jin Jiashu and Concubine Xu Xian, at most he just asks more details, right? ”
Haijiao felt that Zhen Guogong was not in a hurry to interrogate the second room of the Jin family at the moment, after all, the people involved had basically been arrested, and the case was very clear. At present, he and the rest of the Zhou family are mainly focusing on the conspiracy and calculations of the Sun family, as well as the crimes within the border army that Du Boqin introduced. This is related to the future of the Zhou family and the stability of the border army. What is the Jin family's case in comparison?
What I'm really worried about is the two people who know the inside story.
Haitang said: "The Zhenguo Mansion probably doesn't want to interfere in the Jin family's case anymore, and it is up to the Huang Governor to investigate, they only need to inform the Queen Mother and Concubine Xu Xian in the palace of the situation afterwards, and then take care of Jin Jiashu." But Governor Huang will definitely be more concerned about the affairs of the Jin family, since he took office, there has never been such a murderous murder in the territory of Chang'an Mansion! What's more, it was made by the Sun family without telling the emperor, and he is the emperor's person. Even if he offends the concubine and the elder, he must investigate the case clearly and give an explanation to the emperor and the eighth prince. ”
Hai Jiao thought for a while: "In that case, I will go to Huang Zhutou to inquire about the news under the banner of helping Jin Jiashu understand the case." If Governor Huang is not in a hurry to interrogate the prisoner because the government has sealed the pen, I can also urge him a little. Among Huang Zhutou's neighbors, there is a husband and wife who are both jailers in the government prison, and they should know about Jin Miao's situation. ”
Huang Zhutou recently had a helper to take care of the old lady at home, and he was able to concentrate on his work, and he made a lot of contributions, which was more and more valued by Huang Governor. The Jin family's case, now Huang Zhutou is the person in charge, and the news is more well-informed than others. There are some things that he can call the shots without the consent of Huang Zhifu. It would be easier for the reef to get news from him than from others.
Considering Huang Zhutou's help to the reef, Haitang also personally prepared a rich but low-key New Year's gift, so that his brother could take it when he went to Huang's house. There is grain, meat, wine, good clothing and cotton in the New Year's gift, which is not worth much at first glance, but it is more practical and affordable, compared with the silver bills originally proposed by the reef and the precious tonic herbs, it is more suitable for the situation of the Huang family.
Huang Zhutou has a bright future, and he is valued by the Huang Governor's Mansion. He revealed the news to Haijiao in order to repay the favor, but he didn't want to bear the bad reputation of taking bribes.
This New Year's gift was sent to the Huang family, and Huang Zhutou was really happy when he saw it, and there was no burden to accept it.
It's almost the New Year, but he is still busy, and he doesn't even have the time to buy New Year's goods, so he relies on his neighbors to bring them. With the gift from the reef, he saved a lot of trouble. Grain, wine and meat are just right to eat for the New Year, and the clothing and cotton can be used for his mother and son to make a new set of clothes, and the widow of Suzhou hired can do it, which is more practical than the side ones, and even the large expenses of the New Year have been saved.
Haijiao looked at Huang Zhutou's sincere and happy expression after receiving the gift, and only felt that he had learned a lot of sophistication again.
It's just something he doesn't understand, how can the little sister understand? Could it be that she followed her grandmother to learn housekeeping, and she really learned so fast?
Haijiao trusts Xiaomei a little more in his heart. The new news he heard from Huang Zhutou was also shared with his little sister after he went home.
It is said that when Jin Miao first entered the prison, he was not very honest, dragging a wounded leg, and all day long he either shouted that he wanted to see a doctor, or he thought that the food sent by the jailer was not delicious, and he kept shouting. However, the other prisoners in the prison are not vegetarians, even if Jin Miao lives in a single cell, the fence can only stop the fists of other people, but it can't stop verbal attacks. Don't look at Jin Miao as a gambler, he has never been in prison, he has never seen a really cunning and vicious criminal, not only was he frightened by people in just a few words, but he also easily asked people to find out the details and not admit himself.
Now everyone in the government prison knows what good things Jin Miao has done. knew that he was obviously from a small landlord family, but he would only cause trouble, and he would lose every gamble, losing his wife's dowry, and losing the 300 acres of ancestral land of his cousin in the next room. He followed his family to Beijing to join his cousin, but because he didn't live for half a year and had to return to his hometown, he resented his cousin, causing his wife to die.
The cousin left the hometown with his wife and children, and he also encouraged the family to follow. Because his cousin refused to give him the gold at the bottom of the box for his expenses, he told the killer of his cousin's whereabouts, and asked the killer to kill his cousin's family, preferably even the two children, so that their family could monopolize his cousin's property.
Haijiao told Haitang: "It turned out that when Jin Juren went to Beijing to take the exam, his original wife knew that the second room of the Jin family was unreliable, so she persuaded him to bring himself, and the couple lived in the capital for a long time, far away from the second room, and the days were much quieter." The Jin Ju family had 300 acres of fertile land handed down from their ancestors, and they couldn't sell it, so they handed it over to the second room to take care of, but they didn't expect it to be stolen and sold by Jin Miao in the second room. The money from the sale of 300 acres of fertile land was not enough to pay off his gambling debts, so the second room of the Jin family simply left his family and business, and the family went to Beijing to join Jinjuren! Because they were afraid that Jin Juren would complain, after arriving in the capital, not only did they not mention the sale of land, but instead beat a rake and complained that Jin Juren had a lot of words. Knowing that the family had just given birth and his son was still young, he actually instigated Jin Juren to divorce his wife! ”
Haitang was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Can Jin Juren endure this?" The second room of the Jin family is just his cousin in the next room, right?! ”
"It is said that when Jin Juren's parents died, the second old lady of the Jin family took care of him for a while, and he felt that the second room was kind to him." Hai Jiao pouted and said, "But the other prisoners in the prison are shrewd, and after asking Jin Miao a few words, he told the truth." When Jin Juren's parents died, they were both fifteen years old, and they had a reputation for showing talent, and there was no shortage of housekeepers and nurses in the family, so they didn't need relatives to take care of them at all. On the contrary, it was the second old lady of the Jin family, in the name of taking care of the orphans, who took the family to live in the house of the Jin family's big house, and never left! ”
Jin Juren's marriage contract with his original partner Xu was set when his parents were alive. At that time, Xu's parents also passed away, she was an orphan girl, and when the filial piety period expired, she had to pass through the door. But the second room of the Jin family knew that the Xu family was not easy to fool, so he instigated Jin Juren to ruin the marriage and marry another, and even chose a candidate for him, who was the sister of Jin Liu's wife, Jin Xin's wife. If it weren't for Jin Juren himself who was not confused and insisted on fulfilling the contract and marrying Xu's wife, I am afraid that there would be no Jin Jiashu now.
But even so, Jin Juren was still confused on the issue of ancestral fields and buried their ancestral business in vain.
Haijiao sighed, but Haitang asked him: "Jin Juren did not divorce his wife in the capital, but sent his wife to the palace to be a nurse?" Is this also caused by the second room of the Jin family? ”
