Chapter 354: Layout
The old military division chose a Zhuangzi in the suburbs outside the city as a place to set traps, and Haitang Reef didn't even hear about it. But they heard the news of Jin Jiashu's entry into the city early in the morning, and they also witnessed his pomp and behavior after entering the city.
Jin Jiashu has been nursing his injuries for nearly three months, and he has been well yet, although his movements are not very neat, and he needs to sit in a wheelchair that looks a little strange but seems to be very convenient to go out, but he still remembers the Hai family's life-saving grace to him, as well as the kindness of the Zhou family to take him in to recuperate, so as soon as his body can move, he immediately entered the city to thank his benefactor.
Surrounded by a group of hired Zhuang aunts and errand boys, he first came to Hai's house to thank Haixiya and his wife, and then went to the third room of Zhou's house to thank Zhou Shigong and Zhou Ma's husband and wife. The whole process was lively and lively, and many people came to watch. Everyone praised him for being a good boy who knew how to repay his kindness. When it comes to the tragedy of his loss of relatives, everyone can't help but sigh and scold a few robbers and bandits by the way.
Because when Jin Jiashu went from the Hai family to the third room of the Zhou family, he passed by the temporary residence of the two nurturing grandmothers who moved out of the Tang family, this excitement naturally inevitably alarmed the two grandmothers. The servants sent by the Tang family spread the news into the inner courtyard, and when they heard that this matter was related to Du Boqin, they sent their henchmen out to inquire what was going on. "It just so happens" that someone was talking near the maid, saying that it was not the robbers and bandits who killed the Jin family, but the killers of the old men of Sun Pavilion in Jingli. The reason why they came to Chang'an to kill Jin Juren's family was because Jin Juren was upright and upright, and he couldn't get used to the behavior of the Sun family, so he angrily reprimanded him, so he would retaliate.
A few gossiping "passers-by" seemed to be discussing some hearsay news, and the content was just like the romance story told by the storyteller, and even the thrilling situation when the Jin family was killed and Jin Jiashu was rescued seemed to have witnessed it with their own eyes, which sounded at least eight points false. No one with a little brain will believe it.
However, the two maids who brought the grandmother from the capital to Chang'an were trained as spies since childhood, but they immediately "cleverly" extracted the useful information in the gossip, and noticed that the truth of the "murder case of the Jin family" was different, and Du Boqin was really involved, so he quickly pretended to be curious and asked those "passers-by" to inquire about the inside story.
Several "passers-by" said two or three slightly different versions, but no matter which version, they all said that the Sun family was the real murderer of the Jin family, and Du Boqin was found out because he harbored the killer. A "passer-by" claimed to have relatives who worked on an errand in the vanguard of Chang'an, and also described the current situation of Du Boqin's personal soldiers participating in the murder but being arrested. The maid knew that Du Boqin had a connection with the Sun family, and was already tasked with doing dirty work for the Sun family in Chang'an, so she didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly went back to her residence to report to the nurturing grandmothers.
When the grandmothers were in the Tang family in the past, they actually heard the news of the murder of the Jin family, but they didn't take it to heart at that time, and they just regarded it as an ordinary bandit doing evil. When Du Boqin had an accident, the entire Tang family focused on the position of commander vacated by the avant-garde in Chang'an, and the two nurturing grandmothers were only worried about the accomplices implicated by Du Boqin. They were in the Tang family's house, and the news was relatively closed, and it was not until today that they heard the reason for Du Boqin's arrest, and they couldn't help beating their chests for this accomplice, scolding him for acting too carelessly, and sighing at his bad luck.
But in any case, Du Boqin didn't do his dirty work well, and he exposed himself, and in order to save his life, he recruited so many spies from the Sun family, which is an unforgivable sinner for the Sun family. The two nurturing grandmothers can understand Du Boqin's distress, but they also resent him for ruining the Sun family's arrangement, so that they are now isolated.
Although they had already contacted the spies planted by the Sun family in the surrounding area, they were thirty or forty miles away from Chang'an, and they refused to approach at all for fear of being arrested by the Zhou family, let alone go into the city to pick them up. If they want to go, they have to do it on their own. But it is easy for them to hire someone to protect themselves and return to Beijing, and it is not for them to speculate how the Sun family will scold and punish them after returning to Beijing.
The spies are asking them if they have a chance to make meritorious contributions. If they have a way to make meritorious contributions, they will have an explanation to their superiors, and they do not have to worry about being punished. The days of fear and fear are too difficult to endure right now. They not only have to worry about when the border army will find out about their heads, but they also have to worry that the arrested accomplices will confess themselves, and they also have to fear the reprimand and scolding of the Sun family in Beijing, and every day is like being in a pot of oil, and they are miserable.
At present, it is only just after the New Year, the northern climate has just regained spring, there is still a lot of snow on the road, and the news transmission with Jingzhong has not yet returned to normal, so it is very likely that the principal of the Sun family has not yet received accurate news, and has not had time to issue new instructions, and the spies around Chang'an can live a stable life for a few days for the time being. But those days won't last long. When the Sun family knew what was going on in Chang'an and sent someone to reprimand them, they would be counted as one of the little minions in the surrounding areas of Chang'an, and they would all have to take the blame, and they would still have a good life at that time?
Thinking of their own net worth and life, and thinking of their relatives who were held in the hands of the Sun family, they felt like pins and needles. Whenever there is a chance to get out of the situation, they are willing to try anything.
The two nurturing grandmothers were forced to have a headache by their companions, and now that they heard the story of Jin Jiashu, they suddenly felt that they had found a new way to make meritorious contributions, and hurriedly sent their henchmen to follow Jin Jiashu and his party to find out more news.
When Jin Jiashu came out of the third room of the Zhou family, he met everyone in the second room of the Jin family who rushed to hear the news.
Second Old Lady Jin and Jin Miao are still in prison, but Jin Liu's and Aunt Jin have been released. The second room of the Jin family was fined a sum of silver, and he had to settle the lawsuit between the second old lady Jin and Jin Miao, and the more money was spent, the less money was spent. Although Jin Xin still has money in his hand, he can't resist such a big expense, and he has to worry about the livelihood of his whole family, which is also miserable. Hearing that the eldest nephew of Changfang's good life had entered the city, he hurriedly brought his wife and children to find him, and did not dare to insult him as if he had done in the past, but used Huairou means to say some affectionate words bitterly, so that Jin Jiashu could pity the only remaining relatives, and don't be like the old man.
In front of a bunch of onlookers who didn't know the inside story, Jin Jiashu didn't pretend to be a good person mercifully. He only said lightly: "The second old lady is so ruthless, she swallowed all the property of our long house, forced my father to leave his hometown, and chased him to force him to hand over the last bit of property at the bottom of the box." My father refused, so she told the murderer and let outsiders come and kill my family. If it weren't for my good fortune to meet my benefactor, I would have died tragically in the countryside like my parents and brothers at this moment, and the property of our long house would naturally all fall into the hands of your second room. My cousin was also embarrassed to let me read my family affection and take out the money to atone for the sins of the second old lady and my cousin? They are better, so who will avenge my parents and brothers who died tragically?! ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately didn't feel pitiful for Jin Xin's family. No matter how old the old woman is, she is still a sinner if she has done evil things, and the sinner should admit punishment, what is there to be sorry for? The Northwest is not prosperous!
Jin Xin was speechless. Jin Liushi was thick-skinned, and defended loudly: "We didn't kill the person, and we were forced to confess to your family, how can we blame us?" Whoever causes you to offend a noble person, and refuses to give us any good......
Her words drew accusations from the crowd of onlookers. The maid who was crowded in the crowd heard someone whispering behind her: "I heard that this Jin family is related to a lady in the palace who gave birth to a prince." The concubine in the palace couldn't see that lady being favored, so she sent someone to kill her only relative to vent her anger......"
The maid's eyes lit up.
