The reef suddenly realized.

He was busy telling Xie Wenzai what Zhou Shigong said when he was in the third room of the Zhou family: "My uncle seems to be convinced that Mrs. Ma is guilty, and he also suspects that his father is an insider, so he feels that his family is deeply guilty and it is impossible to clear his name." He was afraid that he would ask his clan for help, and the Zhenguo Guild would offend the emperor in order to help his family, and all the clansmen would be convicted. Therefore, he would rather accept the punishment of the imperial court and use the lives of his whole family to atone for the crimes of Mrs. Ma, but he did not intend to implicate other clansmen. He specially instructed the whole family not to tell the long house. ”

Xie Wenzai frowned when he heard this: "Confused! He is not only a scholar, but also a serious person who has won the fame of the same jinshi, how can he have such a naïve idea if he has read history books less? ! Mrs. Ma is just a woman in the house, who has lived in the rear for many years, even if she is greedy for money for a while and gets a road guide document for a few spy businessmen, it is just a small fight, even if she wants to be convicted, it will not alarm the emperor! What the court is afraid of is never a greedy woman, but the entire Zhou family! ”

Mrs. Ma is just the widow of a logistics officer of the Northwest Frontier Army, her husband has been dead for many years, she has not had much contact with the officers and soldiers in the army, and her son is only a middle-level military attaché, and he does not even have the control of a thousand households. She has contact with Hu people's spies, is there any major event that needs to alarm the imperial court? Tu Rong was guilty of raiding his house at night? I still need to report to the emperor to make a final decision?!

What really made the emperor and Tu Rong jealous and vigilant was the Zhou family behind Mrs. Ma. What they are worried about is whether the Zhou family is involved in the collaborator incident!

This is not the business of the Zhou family's third room. The third room of the Zhou family now has only one idle civilian official in the army and two middle-level military attaches in the border army, who have neither power nor prestige, and have nothing to be afraid of. Whether the emperor wants to punish the Zhou family, eradicate the Zhou family, or treat it as if there is no such thing, and conniving at the Zhou family to continue to hold military power, it has never been in the face of the Zhou family's three rooms. Zhou Shigong took the whole thing on himself, and if he said it well, he thought about his family, and if he didn't say it well, he just looked up to himself too much. He's not as important as he thinks he is.

If the emperor really wanted to deal with the Zhou family on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, he would not have dispelled his original idea because the Zhou family had three rooms.

Xie Wenzai sighed and sighed, only regretting that his cousin Haixiya was on a business trip at this time, and it would take at least half a month before he returned to Chang'an, otherwise he could let his cousin go and have a good talk with his brother-in-law. If such a big event happens, what's the use of Zhou Shigong hiding it? His little shoulders of reading and humanity are weak, and he can't afford such a big thing at all, so it's better to confess to Zhenguo Gong as soon as possible.

If the Zhou family's three houses deserve it, Zhen Guogong will not blindly help.

But if it was because Zhou Shigong deliberately concealed it, so that Zhen Guogong failed to find out the truth in time, but was calculated, it would be too wronged!

When Xie Wenzai thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore: "I have to hurry up and talk to Zhen Guogong." If the old man refuses to move on Friday, then he can only let the Zhenguo Mansion come forward. Otherwise, Tu Tongzhi doesn't know what he thinks. He may not know that it was Zhou Shigong's side that made a fool, and I am afraid that he thought that Zhen Guogong didn't take his words to heart at all. ”

Xie Wenzai lifted his robe and got off the kang, raised his feet and walked out, not even bothering to take a coat. Haitang hurriedly ran to his house and turned over a cloak and came out, chasing him all the way out of the door to send it to him, so that his old man could really blow the cold wind and turn around and get sick with a cold. Although it is March now, the weather in Chang'an is still a little cool. Now it's getting dark. I'm afraid that by the time Xie Wenzai comes back from the Zhenguo Mansion, it will already be night. The spring breeze at night is even colder.

When Haitang returned to Lu Bainian's room, he heard his brother Haijiao asking Lu Bainian: "...... Listening to his cousin's words, Tu Tongzhi seems to have always wanted to tell Zhen Guogong about this, but he is always vague? Why is that? ”

Lu Bainian said: "We don't know about this." Tu Rong has always been very careful to keep it secret, and he does not allow people around him to leak the news. But the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division has the eyeliner of the Zhenguo Mansion, and everyone knows it in their hearts. He didn't stop those people from telling Zhen Guogong about the matter, and personally ran to Zhen Guogong to say something full of meaning, as if hinting that Zhen Guogong came to talk to him. How can it not make people wonder if it is strange? Lao Xie is now going to the Guogong Mansion almost every other day, and it is not surprising that he will hear the wind. It's just that this kind of thing is very disgraceful, and no one can talk about it until the truth is clarified. ”

The reef didn't know what to say for a while. It turned out that he got the news from Tang Meng, and hurried home to inform his grandmother, and when the three of them immediately went to the third room of the Zhou family to inquire about the reason, the cousin who lived in the front yard actually knew what happened to the third room of the Zhou family? Then why didn't he say it?!

Haijiao felt a little aggrieved in his heart. He was really anxious before, and his grandmother was really worried. How could my cousin watch them anxious and worried, but not say a word?

He couldn't help but tell his little sister about it, and there was a bit of complaint in his tone: "Although I have to go to school every day now, I am not as idle as before, but I can also help to find out information everywhere." My cousin got the important news, why didn't he tell me? ”

Haitang received her brother's grievances, sat down calmly by the kang, and asked Lu Bainian: "Grandpa Lu, does my cousin also think that my uncle is too silent on his side, and wants us to go to the third room of the Zhou family to help find out?" ”

Haijiao reacted, and immediately straightened his expression: "That's right." Since my uncle and grandfather have drilled the tip of the horns, there is little need for someone to wake him up. It is not easy for the Zhenguo Mansion to come forward, and it is natural for us to take the initiative to care about one or two as relatives of the third room. ”

Lu Bainian saw that he had figured it out, so he smiled and said, "It's not that we old men deliberately hide it from you, it's really ...... There was no movement in the third room of the Zhou family, and we were secretly anxious, for fear that something would happen to his family and that your grandmother would be implicated. Your grandfather is busy all day long, and he has to go on a business trip, so we can't make trouble for him. Originally, if you didn't get a warning from the Tang family today, tomorrow we will also find a way to let your brothers and sisters know that something happened in the third room of the Zhou family. Didn't Tang Tang often correspond with the little girl in his family? It is not easy to do things with letters, and the messenger will always have a time to say something. As long as you are suspicious of the current situation of the Zhou family's third room, you will definitely go to the place and ask about it. ”

Haitang Reef suddenly, it turned out that they were the tool people who were targeted by the old men, but before they could take the initiative to jump into the pit, they were intercepted by others first.

Haitang smiled: "Grandpa Lu, this is your unkindness." Everyone knows each other so well, they are all a family, what do you have to say, can't you tell us directly? ”

Haijiao nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, why bother making such a big bend?!" ”

Lu Bainian sighed: "We also have no choice. After all, this is the internal affairs of the Zhou family, and outsiders can't say much. Zhen Guogong made up his mind to wait for Zhou Shigong to speak first, how could we disobey the order? If you want to do something, you should also try to leave as little trace as possible. I didn't expect you to get the news and take the initiative to step in. At that time, your ancestors and grandchildren were in a hurry, and we didn't have time to explain in a hurry, so we had to wait for you to go home. After all, you are the in-laws of the Zhou family, and it is normal for you to care about one or two when you hear the news. Your news is from the Tang family, and it has nothing to do with the Zhenguo Mansion, even if Tu Rong knows, it will be fine. ”

Haitang tilted his head in confusion: "Why is this?" Tu Rong knew that the Zhenguo Mansion took the initiative to meddle in the affairs of the Zhou family's third room, would it bring any bad consequences? ”

Hai Jiao also reacted: "In the past few days, what has he hinted at in front of Zhen Guogong?" What the hell is his purpose?! ”
