The news of Tu Rong's interrogation of Du Boqin soon spread within the Dusi Yamen.

No one moved. This is within Tu Rong's purview.

It's just that many people are discussing it in private, wondering if Tu Rong will have a different opinion on Du Boqin's case?

Although Du Boqin betrayed the Northwest Frontier Army, in addition to the blatant charges of embezzlement of military funds, unauthorized acceptance of private soldiers, and murder and extermination, many of the bad things he did were instructed by the Sun family, and he did not necessarily violate the emperor's taboo. If the emperor's henchmen were intent on saving his life, it was not impossible to find a reason to reduce his punishment. It is only necessary to change the death penalty to exile, and there is a way to do it.

General Thursday did not dispose of Du Boqin before leaving office, in fact, he also meant to test his successor. This is also the plan of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Northwest Frontier Army.

From the day Du Boqin's identity as a traitor was exposed, he had little lethality within the Northwest Frontier Army. Then in order to protect himself, he confessed many people and things, and now there is only one life left, and it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive.

The Du family clan has come forward to remove him from the genealogy, so as not to be implicated by him. Even his only son, Du Qi, was adopted and adopted by his clansmen, and was recognized in the name of others, and was no longer the son of a criminal official. Although this practice can't hide from anyone, Du Qi will still be hopeless in the imperial examination in the future, but he has the protection of the Zhou family's seven rooms, and he will come to the border city to experience a few years, find a civilian petty official to do it, and support his family, it should not be difficult. However, he will not be able to leave the northwest for the rest of his life, and even future generations will not be able to take the imperial examination. The Du family was originally a military household, Du Qi tried to abandon martial arts and change the court, but failed because of his father's crime, and now he is just returning to the old road of his ancestors, which is not too tragic.

The Zhenguo Mansion took out Du Boqin to test Tu Rong and the emperor behind him, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

Tu Rong met Du Boqin alone in the prison, and there was no one around him, not even the clerk who was in charge of recording the confession.

What they said, no one knows.

Tu Rong saw Du Boqin in the morning, went back to his duty room at lunchtime, and went to the prison after dinner until the sun turned west. However, when the afternoon passed, he called one of the soldiers he had brought from the capital.

That night, he remained in the yamen. The soldiers were still helping him find a suitable place to live. One of the candidate mansions is on the street where the Hai family is located, and it is only less than a hundred steps away from the Chen family, which can be said to be quite close.

When the news reached the Hai family, Ma heard about it during the day, and immediately sent the servants to go around to investigate, and when Hai Xiya came back from the yamen in the evening, she pulled her husband and said: "The soldiers of the Tu family have been to this street twice, and the price is appropriate, and the place is big enough, so it is estimated that it will really be rented." When the time comes, won't this Tu Tongzhi be a neighbor with the Emen's family? Is he easy to get along with? ”

Haixi Cliff has been busy for the past two days, and is about to leave Chang'an City on a business trip to other places, where can I pay attention to these trivial matters? He replied casually: "General Tu seems to be a taciturn person, but he is not difficult to get along with, and he speaks and acts in a good manner. Such a boss is not bad. He can live wherever he wants. When he moves into the new house, we will send a congratulatory gift, what are you doing when you ask so much? Don't let him misunderstand, think that our officials in Chang'an are secretly spying on him! ”

Ma Shi snorted: "Which one wants to spy on him?" It's just that he thought that he had traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to take office, and he only brought four entourages, but he had to rent a big mansion with a garden in Sanjin, and it was estimated that there were still family members behind. Won't they have to deal with his family's daughters at that time? What's wrong with asking in advance? Not all the bosses in the world are as kind and easy to get along with as Mrs. Thursday! In case you meet someone who loves to make things difficult, it's not your wife who suffers?! ”

Hai Xiya coughed, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, obediently admitting that his wife's words were reasonable, and his wife was right. However, it is impossible for him to provide any useful information. He has been really busy lately, and the people in the yamen don't talk much about the affairs of his boss's family.

Seeing this, Ma put aside the Haixi Cliff and only went to discuss the matter with his grandchildren.

Haijiao has been enrolled in Chang'an Guard Wei School, I can keep up with my homework, and the teacher's evaluation is also good, but I have to go to school every day, I feel a little constrained, and I am uncomfortable, I heard that my grandmother wants to inquire about the news of Tu Rong's family, so I volunteered and said: "I'll go find Zhou Yijun to ask." There must be a news channel in the Zhenguo Mansion to know where Tu Rong's family has gone. ”

Ma Shi hurriedly said: "Good boy, it's great that you are willing to help grandma, but you don't have to pay too much attention, it is still important to learn your homework." Just ask when you have nothing to do. ”

Haijiao waved his hand: "It's okay." I also have to go to find Zhou Yijun to talk on weekdays, and I will borrow the school field of the Zhenguo Mansion to practice riding and archery, which is not as crowded as the big school field in the school. I'll just ask by the way. If Zhou Yijun doesn't know, then I can't do it. ”

However, this made Ma very satisfied. She herself will also keep in touch with the family members of other subordinate officials of the Yamen of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division to exchange information.

But Begonia's side can't help much for the time being. Zhou Wenjun is about to leave soon, and he has been busy packing his luggage and saying goodbye to relatives and friends recently, and he doesn't care about his girlfriends. However, Zhou Xuejun is bored with recuperation every day, and it hurts his eyes too much to do needlework, in addition to reading books to pass the time, he is writing letters to close sisters and friends for entertainment. Haitang is one of the people who corresponds with her most often, although you can try to ask for some news from her, but Zhou Xuejun is still young after all, and when her parents are not around, she is afraid that the elders of the Zhenguo Mansion will not talk about Tu Rong in front of her, and the effect should not be great.

But Begonia is not in a hurry. Tu Rongren has already taken office, and he will stay in Chang'an for at least a few years, his family will always follow, if he really becomes a neighbor of the Hai family, he will have the opportunity to deal with him in the future. If people don't get along well, it's a big deal that the Hai family doesn't develop a personal relationship with the Tu family. Chang'an is still the Zhou family has the final say, as long as the Hai family always hugs the thick thigh of the Zhenguo Mansion and does not get close to a family member who is all in command and knowledge, what does it matter?

Anyway, according to Haijiao's recollections, Tu Rong's reputation in his previous life was not bad, except for having a gentlemanly son who was not angry, and the family did not have any obvious evil behavior, and it is estimated that no matter how difficult it is, it is limited. With grandmother Ma's ability, it should be more than enough to deal with the Tu family's daughters.

Begonia is now more concerned with another matter.

Zhou Xuejun is now full of resentment towards Mrs. Gui, and complains a lot when she writes letters. In the past two days, she mentioned in the letter what her family had revealed, and the Zhenguo Mansion probably didn't want to let Mrs. Gui mess around anymore, and wanted to give her a little color.

In addition to letting Wu Ke move, the Duchess of Zhenguo also arranged a nurturing grandmother for Wu Qiong, who was responsible for her daily life and homework.

Mrs. Gui is naturally reluctant, but she continues to pretend to be sick, so she can't recover immediately, right? Moreover, the upbringing grandma arranged by the Duchess of Zhenguo also told Wu Qiong about the genealogy of the Chang'an family, as well as the preferences and taboos of each family, which she couldn't teach her daughter, but it was of great benefit to Wu Qiong. She really couldn't say anything about getting rid of her upbringing.

At the same time, since Mrs. Thursday took office with her husband, Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday will also leave Chang'an in the near future and return to her husband. Mrs. Gui also cannot refuse.

If she dares to say no, her daughter really has no hope of marrying into the Zhou family.
