After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1066: Previous Life Feud

Haitang was surprised: "Really? Who is it?!"

Haijiao mentioned a name that was very unfamiliar to Haitang. When she heard her elder brother talk about the cause of death in his previous life, he would not mention the name of his enemy. Although she wanted to prepare for her elder brother, she thought that it would be more than ten years later. At present, the enemy might not be known where he was. Maybe he had not yet come to Beijing to serve as an official. If they wanted to take revenge now, they would not be able to find anyone to go to, so she did not ask too much.

Who could have thought that this enemy was already in Beijing? !
Haitang quickly thought of another thing: "This man is the son-in-law of the Minister, and now the Minister has accepted a member of the Jiang family's side branch as his lackey. When did their relationship begin? Was it already there in the previous life? That man would plot to harm your life, brother. Is it because you know his secret, or is there another reason?!"

For example...some member of the Sun family discovered that Hai Jiao was an orphan of the Hai family who had escaped, and they were worried that he would tell something to the Jinyiwei...

Haijiao also thought of this. When he found out that the person he was investigating was actually the father-in-law who killed his enemy in his previous life, he began to suspect the real cause of his death in his previous life.

Maybe, the other party not only discovered that he knew his secret, but also found out that he was a survivor of the Hai family, and had a mortal feud with his trusted minions, and could not be bribed successfully, so he decided to kill him?

Hai Jiao was very excited all the way, and finally calmed down. He pretended to be calm and walked home without letting anyone know anything. But when he saw his little sister who knew the secret of his rebirth, he couldn't help it anymore: "That minister was the backer of the Jiang family in his previous life, and they had colluded for many years. Later, the Sun family fell, and the minister escaped early and was a good person, so he was not implicated. He was still a high-ranking official, but he couldn't move up. He later retired smoothly, and his son and son-in-law supported the family business, and they still enjoyed wealth and glory. But some people in the Jinyiwei thought that their family was not clean, so they never gave up on a thorough investigation. I heard that his family received a heavy gift from the Jiang family, and a daughter of the Jiang family married into his family as a concubine, gave birth to a son, and was very favored. The Jiang family relied on this daughter to act arrogantly in Yongping Prefecture, and no one dared to provoke them. I wanted to tear down this backer of the Jiang family, so I participated in the case and was assigned to monitor his son-in-law..."

At that time, he found evidence of the son-in-law of the Minister's Mansion's corruption and abuse of power, and suspected that he had close contacts with some members of the Sun family. At that time, the Sun family had already fallen, and anyone who had anything to do with the Sun family would not have a good end, not to mention that this man helped cover up some members of the Sun family's escape after the fall of the Sun family? If Haijiao could find real evidence, this son-in-law of the Minister's Mansion would be unforgivable and would also implicate the Yue family. He was about to confirm further when he was caught by the other party. Now thinking back, the other party must have discovered his identity and background a long time ago, so they decisively killed him.

Hai Jiao sighed. He had a chance to redress the grievances of the Hai family in his previous life, but unfortunately he failed. Perhaps he should have been calmer at that time, not so impatient, and sent the evidence back to the Jinyiwei first, and then it would not be too late to plan for the aftermath. In that way, even if he could not directly drag the Jiang family's backers into the water, at least he could save his own life first, and then weaken the power of the Jiang family's backers. If he cut too much, the Minister's Mansion would be in trouble, and the Jiang family, as a lackey, would continue to run rampant in Yongping Mansion? !

Now that he has lived for so many years again, it is useless to regret and feel upset. He should think about the future first.

Haijiao said to his younger sister Haitang, "The eldest son of the Minister's Mansion took a concubine who was claimed to be a daughter of the Jiang family. But whether it is true or not, only they themselves know. Anyway, I heard from someone in my hometown last year that no one in Jianghai Village knew when the Jiang family had such a beauty who could catch the eye of the eldest son of a high-ranking official in the capital. The Jiang family was probably just arranged to be the maiden family of this beautiful concubine, and came forward to send someone to the Minister's eldest son. How could the Minister's eldest son, who accepted other people's people and their money, break away from the Jiang family? The Jiang family was involved in the Shanhaiwei corruption case, and the case was traced to the Funing County Government, and the Minister's eldest son was implicated. It is said that he didn't even keep his accounts well, and they were found out once they were investigated. Perhaps he thought that his father was in a high position and no one dared to mess with him?" As a result, the Sun family declined. In order to cut ties with the Sun family, his father did not dare to publicize it, for fear of giving people a handle. He could only watch him being dismissed from office. By the time his family finally dared to think about rescuing him, it was too late.

Hai Jiao has found out that after the eldest son of the Minister's Mansion returned home, he did not drive away the concubine, and even gave birth to a son with her. Perhaps it was because of this reason that the children of the Jiang family's side branch came to the Minister's Mansion so smoothly? The Minister's Mansion was willing to overturn the case for the Jiang family in order to clear the eldest son's name, and it was probably due to the persuasion of the concubine who gave birth to a son.

At present, Hai Jiao only knew that the offspring of the Jiang family knew many secrets, and it was very likely that he wanted to reveal the truth that the Jiang family was a shield and a tool for others, and forcibly interpret the fact that the Jiang family bribed the Funing County Magistrate as someone using the Jiang family to plot against the Funing County Magistrate, and clear the eldest son of the Minister. At that time, even if it was difficult for the Jiang family to overturn the case and the guilt of the Jiang family's offspring was difficult to eliminate, at least the eldest son of the Minister could get rid of the original guilt.

Haitang scoffed at this: "How can it be cleared?! All the adult male members of the Jiang family's direct line have been sentenced to death. If the case is overturned now, wouldn't it be said that Shanhaiwei and Yongping Prefecture made a false case and killed the wrong person? That would ruin the future of the commander of Shanhaiwei, the prefect of Yongping, and other officials handling the case. Who would be so stupid as to let the Minister's Mansion mess around?!"

Hai Jiao smiled coldly, "Officials who handled the case would not do such a stupid thing, but the prefect of Yongping has already completed his term. He returned to Beijing to report on his work before the New Year, and a new appointment will be made in the spring. If the Minister's Office arranges for one of their own to take over the position of prefect of Yongping, then won't they be able to decide what happens next?"

It is not uncommon for the successor to slander the predecessor for making a wrong judgment out of selfishness and disregarding his predecessor's future. The second legitimate son of the minister's mansion is disabled, but the illegitimate son is very outstanding. Even if the minister himself does not care about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate sons, the minister's wife will be eager to clear the name of the eldest legitimate son so that he can be promoted again to compete for a future, so as to avoid the huge family business eventually benefiting from the illegitimate son, and the wife and the legitimate son have to live under the illegitimate son's wishes.

After Haitang understood this, she said to her brother in a serious tone, "Brother, we can't let the Minister's Mansion succeed. Whether it's for your deadly vengeance in the previous life, or for our Hai family to enjoy peace and quiet in our hometown of Yongping Prefecture, we absolutely can't let the Minister's Mansion succeed!"

"Do I need you to say that?!" Haijiao snorted coldly, "I want to find Xiao Jin now to ask him what the palace's attitude towards the Minister's Mansion is. If he is also very annoyed, I will quickly collect some evidence and hand it over, so that his family will never have a chance to turn things around, and the Jiang family will never be able to stir up trouble again! But if the palace does not want to make a big fuss and still wants to maintain stability in the court..." Then he can't deal with the Minister's Mansion openly, and he needs to find another way to retaliate against them, the father-in-law, the son-in-law, and the uncle.

Haitang thought for a moment and held her brother's hand. "Don't worry, brother. We will slowly figure out a way to deal with this. Anyway, we found our enemies early in this life. They are not as powerful as before and have to protect themselves. There are many loopholes they can exploit. Together, we can definitely find a way to get rid of the bad feelings in our previous life!"
