Ma counted the time: "Twenty years ago...... Didn't it say that the Sun family caught the Hu people more than ten years ago? At that time, the spy was introduced into Beijing by the road given by Mrs. Ma, which shows that this 'collaborator' was still done by Mrs. Ma until more than ten years ago. Then she gave the Hu spy a guide, and she was definitely not entrusted by Mrs. Wang! ”

Not only was it not Mrs. Wang's old lady Toma who helped the Hu people spy on the road, but even because Mrs. Wang might recognize the identity of one of the Hu people's spies, Mrs. Ma specially distanced herself from her. Mrs. Wang and Hu Ren are obviously not all the way. How did Mrs. Ma embarrass herself to blame others for collaborating with the enemy?

Ma sneered.

Haitang asked Aunt Ma: "In addition to this one, is there anything else?" ”

Aunt Ma nodded: "Yes, there are several other officials and relatives who are good friends with Old Madam Ma, and they have also bought the goods in the hands of the merchants in the Western Regions at her request." The fourteenth old lady said that things were real things, but they were not really worth that much money. The officials and relatives of the various families may not be unaware of it, but only for the sake of the third room of the Zhou family, they agreed to the high price, and only thought that the merchant from the Western Regions spoke pleasantly, and gave him more rewards. ”

Ma Shi hurriedly asked: "Then the merchants of the Western Regions still ran to the front of other officials?" ”

Aunt Ma said: "Yes, because he was born handsome and spoke funny, many officials and relatives thought he was likable." Later, a general was jealous and attacked his wife, and everyone stopped seeing him. Later, after he left, he did not appear again, and many people felt that it was a pity. ”

There was almost a scandal? What is Mrs. Ma's idea when she introduces such a suspicious and frivolous man to other officials? ! Could it be that the merchants of the Western Regions are really spies, and they still want to go to the inner house of the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army to find out the intelligence of the military aircraft?

Ma couldn't help but take a sip: "Not a serious person!" Mrs. Ma is too confused! She's not afraid that something ugly will happen, and people will even hold a grudge against her?! ”

Haitang asked Aunt Ma again: "Is there anything else?" ”

Aunt Ma thought for a while: "There are ...... Mrs. Ma once entertained a few young children in the third room, saying that she was the junior of a relative's family, and asked her to help find a shortage in the army. This was a common thing, but the fourteenth old lady had talked to those young people, and felt that the accent was not quite right, and thought that they were relatives of the Ma family, but when asked what their relationship was with the Ma family, they couldn't answer. But if it weren't for the relatives of the Ma family, Mrs. Ma would only be a relative of the Zhou family. Those relatives and fourteen old ladies had seen them all, and it was impossible not to know them, so she was also wondering in her heart. Although Mrs. Ma later explained that those were the sons and nephews of Master Shicheng's subordinates, the fourteenth old lady still felt that their accents were not the same, so she remembered them. ”

These young people want Mrs. Ma to find a position in the army for them, but the positions that Mrs. Ma wants to arrange for them are all important places and high grades, so they can't be inserted casually. In the end, the matter did not work out, but the fourteenth old lady remembered it in her heart, because her children and grandchildren wanted to find a vacancy for the old lady Toma, who was not so generous, and arranged all the positions in the border city with low grades, and called it "a lot of experience". This made her feel aggrieved and unbalanced......

Mrs. Ma would not have put those people under her son. The fourteenth old lady also asked why? Her answer was: "Shicheng is not the chief official yet, how can he meddle in personnel?" What should I do if I get angry with my boss? ”

But if Mrs. Ma just found a small guard to install those young people, no boss would be dissatisfied. This kind of thing is common in Chang'an City. When someone's son and nephew first joined the army, didn't they ask their relatives and friends to seek shortages? When I first entered the army, my status was lower, and when I got merit, I could naturally be promoted. is not a child of a famous family, and he does have talents and strengths, who would put them in important positions from the beginning?

Mrs. Ma acted recklessly and unfairly, and the old lady of the fourteenth room secretly complained for many years......

Ma Shi frowned when he heard this: "This sounds like people of unknown origin, why does Old Madam Ma value them so much?" ”

Aunt Ma shook her head: "The fourteenth old lady doesn't know either." At that time, she suspected that Mrs. Ma had accepted the money from a wealthy businessman, and wanted to seek a military position for the merchant's children and change the court, but those descendants looked at them with real skills, and they were good at riding and shooting, not like they were the children of gentlemen. The fourteenth old lady couldn't tell, but she thought it was really her relative's nephew, maybe it was someone from her father's side. ”

This is related to Mrs. Ma's true life experience. The old lady of the fourteenth room knew that Mrs. Ma never mentioned her life experience, and she was very taboo to be asked, so she naturally wouldn't talk much. However, judging from the words and deeds of Mrs. Ma when she first married into the third room of the Zhou family in her early years, she is most likely really from the capital, her eating tastes and speaking accents can match, and the extraordinary demeanor revealed when she raises her hands and feet is enough to prove her noble background. But how could the noble daughter come to Chang'an to marry someone to fill the house? I guess it's my mother's downfall, right? Then her relatives and nephews are naturally not in a much better situation, so it's no wonder that they have to go through the back door incognito.

The old lady of the fourteenth room has her own guesses about Mrs. Ma's life experience, but she just doesn't dare to say it.

But Ma and Haitang now know that Mrs. Ma is very likely to be the daughter of the clan. If the people on her kin's side want to join the army, they have their own royal and clan mansions to worry about, and they don't have to go to the northwest to suffer. Those people are more likely to be like the merchants of the Western Regions, suspected of being enemy spies. Fortunately, the army in the northwest was strictly controlled, and Mrs. Ma did not succeed in placing people in important positions, otherwise when the big war came, God knows what chaos would happen? When the Hu soldiers approached the city, whether there was a mistake in the weapons and armor, or something in the military rations, they could overturn the outcome of the war.

Ma secretly gritted his teeth: "This mother-in-law is really bold...... She just gave the spy some guidance, and helped the tower bridge sell some goods, and even dared to arrange the spy to go in for an important position in the border army, what is she trying to do? ! Isn't she afraid that something really happened before the battle, and she will find out and implicate her husband and wife? ! Even if the old lady of the third room spoils her again, it is impossible to stop such a fatal crime for her! ”

Haitang frowned, feeling that this was not much like what Song Yuzhu would do.

Of course, she will not take the righteousness of her family and country to heart, but she values her own interests most and will never take risks for things that are not beneficial. Insert the Hu people and spies into the key positions of the Northwest Frontier Army? Once this kind of thing is leaked, she, the referrer, will definitely not be able to escape! How deep is her love for the old Khan King of the Hu people? He didn't hesitate to risk his death to do things for him. And if she is really so affectionate to her old lover, then why would she make people hurt and run away in embarrassment?

She shouldn't have been threatened by the old Khan king of the Hu people, right?

She changed her name and fled to Chang'an, her family didn't know her whereabouts, how did the old Khan King of the Hu people find out? What handle did you hold in your hand? can make her do things that collaborate with the enemy and betray the country regardless of the consequences, it must be a very fatal handle, right? Where is this handle? Once Madam Ma refuses to obey, how will the old Khan King of the Hu people use this trick to hurt her?

Now, the old Khan of the Hu people has been dead for several years, I don't know if anyone knows about this handle? In addition to the failure of the installation of manpower and the guide to help the spies get into Beijing, what did Mrs. Ma do for the Hu people's spies?

Haitang silently wrote down her questions one by one, and Ma continued to ask Aunt Ma. However, most of the back is the contradiction between the old lady of the fourteenth room and the old lady Ma, most of them are trivial, and there is no important information. Later, due to time constraints, Zhou Shigong personally went to the fourteenth room to pick up people, Zhou Ma and Zhou Yijun couldn't continue to ask, so they made an appointment with the old lady in the fourteenth room to see each other another day and went home.

I had the flu and had a terrible headache......
