Chapter 356: Intelligence

Huang Zhutou had to rush back to the prefect's yamen to prepare for the next plan, and Lao Zhangtou also had to report the latest progress to the old military division. They soon left.

Haitang and Haijiao continued to stand at the mouth of the alley, looking at his uncle Zhou Shigong from a distance, saying that he couldn't get used to seeing the Jin family bullying orphans like this, and decided to save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and take out a small Zhuangzi to give to Jin Jiashu, so that he can have a home in Chang'an, and there is no need to look at the faces of a few unconscionable clansmen.

Zhou Shigong's reputation in Chang'an City is still very good. At present, most people in the city don't know what good things Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter have done, and the third room of the Zhou family is still a benevolent and noble family in public opinion. He announced his decision in public, and the people around him praised his generosity. Jin Jiashu also expressed his gratitude, and thanked Zhou Shigong for his kindness with tears, saying that he would definitely study hard and win the test as soon as possible, and he would never disappoint his benefactor Wu Ye's hard work.

Zhou Shigong and Jin Jiashu staged a good story of sympathy between the old-timers and new elementary school students in the imperial examination, and the second room of the Jin family, as the villain, could only leave the stage in disgrace.

has lived in Chang'an City for so long, Jin Xin also knows what a behemoth the Zhou family is in the local area, not to mention that the fifth master is still a civil official, and he also has a relationship with the prefect, so he can easily pinch their family to death. Although he couldn't get money from Jin Jiashu, he still pulled his unwilling wife very heartily and left with his children.

When they had gone, the maid crept up and followed. And as soon as she left, the farce in front of the third room of the Zhou family came to an end. Jin Jiashu said goodbye to Zhou Shigong again, and Zhou Shigong said a few words of encouragement to read, and then left. The protagonist is gone, and the crowd of onlookers will naturally dissipate, but the melons they have just eaten will inevitably become their recent conversations, and they will not be replaced by new topics without three or five days' work.

Begonias and reefs came out of the alley at this time.

Haitang asked the reef in a low voice: "Is this really not tight?" Kim Ka-ki made an appearance in front of so many people...... The Zhou family seems to be very convinced that he is Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, and they don't mind publicizing this matter to everyone. Jin Jiashu actually cooperated. ”

Haijiao said: "This kind of thing, the more generous and fair he does, the less people will be suspicious." The Zhou family was confident in their control of Chang'an City. They were not afraid that the Wu family would encounter danger when walking in the city, not to mention that in their opinion, Jin Jiashu's identity was not necessary to be kept secret? In fact, the only one who really heard the news today and knew that Jin Jiashu had a relationship with Concubine Xu Xian was the maid, and the other people were just talking about the Jin family's case and Du Boqin's relationship. The leakage of information is limited, so it must be fine. And if you want to let the Sun family be deceived by the ears and eyes planted around Chang'an, you will take the initiative to throw yourself into the net, and you will not succeed without enough bait. A Jin Juren who is rumored to have offended the Sun family is nothing, but Concubine Xu Xian's nephew is qualified to let them take risks. ”

Haitang sighed: "I hope the plan can go well." If the Zhou family can really clear the ears and eyes planted by the Sun family around Chang'an in one fell swoop, we will be able to feel much more at ease in the future. It's just that...... There are still people who know Jin Jiashu's true background, and we dare not guarantee that the Sun family will really keep secrets, and some things should be handled carefully. ”

Hai Jiao pursed his lips: "I'll remind Jin Jiashu." "He couldn't do more than that. In the Chang'an realm, I'm afraid that except for Jin Jiashu and their brother and sister, no one knows the real relationship between Jin Jiashu and Concubine Xu Xian, right?

Anyway, the second room of the Jin family and the murderers sent by the Sun family were unaware. If the two nurturing grandmothers really planned to ask them for news, they would only get the information that "Concubine Xu Xian is the sister of Jin Jiashu's biological mother".

However, since the Zhou family is sure that this is the truth, it is difficult for others to say anything. The brothers and sisters of the Hai family have no reason, how can they tell the Zhou family that in fact, the Empress Dowager Zhou is also lying to them?

The door of the third room of the Zhou family opened again. This time it was Zhou Ma's henchman Cailuo who came out. She came to find the brothers and sisters of the Hai family on the orders of her mother.

Haijiao Haitang hurriedly followed her back to the three-room mansion of the Zhou family. Haitang returned the cloak she had borrowed from the porter before, and then gave her a reward, and then returned to the main courtyard, took the cloak handed by Zhou Yijun, and tied it again.

Zhou Yijun asked her a little puzzled: "What did you and Cousin Hai do when you and your brother and sister went out just now?" I asked the porter, and he said that you just went to see the excitement, but why do you need to change your clothes to see the excitement? ”

Haitang couldn't tell her that she was actually pretending to be the daughter of an ordinary military family, cooperating with her brother and sending false information to the spies. As soon as she said this, there were too many topics involved, so she had to make a haha and mix it up.

When their brother and sister returned to their home with their grandmother, their cousin Xie Wenzai also received follow-up news.

The maid who raised her grandmother followed the second room of the Jin family. After figuring out where they were currently living and asking people nearby about their family, she went into the kitchen in the backyard of the old temple and found the lone eldest daughter of Jin Miao.

The little girl was only in her early teens, but she knew everything she needed to know. She was not very clever, but she was as greedy for money as her father. The maid fooled her a few words, and then took out a few pieces of broken silver, and easily bribed her to spit out.

As a result, the entanglement between the Jin family's family room and the Jin family's second room for many years, the maids easily heard about it. As for the relationship between Jin Jiashu and the palace concubine, the little girl didn't know the bottom, she only knew that his mother died in the capital many years ago, but an aunt entered the palace. His father married his stepmother and gave birth to a younger son, which was not good for him. When his aunt in the palace found out, she brought him a box of gold. His father was kind to him again, and was willing to teach him to read, and no longer let him do menial work such as chopping wood and carrying water.

The little girl hated that. Because Jin Jiashu doesn't do this kind of work anymore, it's her turn to work hard. Although her mother always protected her and her sister, her father was away from home all day, and her grandmother always supported them to work because they were girls and had no brother to support them. Even if the family has money, it is not their sisters' turn to enjoy happiness.

The little girl babbled on and on the gossip she had heard from her parents and family, and the maid's mind had long since gone somewhere.

The Zhou family spies who were hiding outside the kitchen windowsill in the backyard of the old temple couldn't hear what the maid said more. She soon returned to her place of residence and told the two nurturing grandmothers all the information she had heard.

"Concubine Xu Xian's nephew?" Fat Mama was a little surprised, "I remember that when we just left the capital, the noble concubine was messing with the elder of the pavilion, and asked the elder to stop the emperor from making the palace a concubine. At that time, some people said that Xu Gongren was from a humble background and had nothing to rely on outside the palace, and it was only through the recommendation of the Queen Mother that he got the emperor's blue eyes...... So it's all true, right? She did come from a commoner background, only a brother-in-law from the countryside, and her sister was still dead, leaving only a little nephew who was mistreated by her stepmother. This is much easier to deal with than other mothers' families! ”

The thin grandmother asked the maid about every detail of the information, and then said solemnly: "This little girl in the second room of the Jin family is too young, and she is not favored by the elders, and her knowledge is limited, so her words may not be accurate." If we want to know the identity of Najin Jiashu, we have to ask the person who is most likely to know. ”

The fat mama was stunned, and then reacted: "Are you talking about those two dead soldiers?" You are crazy?! They're in prison, how can we inquire? It would be bad if people guessed that we had something to do with the Sun family! Even if we can actually see people, they are dying, can they still tell us the truth? What if they ask us to save people and we can't, and they threaten to give us out?! ”
