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

Chapter 355 Layout

The old military advisor chose a village in the outskirts of the city as a place to set a trap, but Haitang Haijiao didn't even know about it. But they had heard about Jin Jiashu's arrival in the city early on, and witnessed with their own eyes his pomp and behavior after entering the city.

Jin Jiashu's injury, which he had sustained for nearly three months, has healed well. Although he is still not very agile and needs to sit on a wheeled chair that looks a little weird but seems very convenient to go out, he still remembers the Hai family. For the kindness of saving his life and the kindness of the third room of the Zhou family to take him in to recuperate, as soon as he could move his body, he immediately went to the city to thank his benefactor.

Surrounded by a group of hired village ladies and errand boys, he first went to the Hai family to thank the Hai Xiya couple, and then went to the third room of the Zhou family to thank Zhou Shigong and the Zhou Ma couple. The whole process was lively and lively, with many people coming to watch. Everyone praises him as a good boy who knows how to repay kindness. When he mentioned the tragic loss of his family again, everyone couldn't help but sigh and curse him as a robber and bandit.

Since Jin Jiashu passed by the temporary residence of two correctional mothers who had moved out of the Tang family when he was heading from the Hai family to the third room of the Zhou family, the excitement inevitably alarmed the two mothers. The servants sent by the Tang family spread the news into the inner courtyard. When they heard that the matter was related to Du Boqin, they sent their trusted maids out to find out what was going on. "It just so happened" that someone was talking near the maid, saying that the people who killed the Jin family were not actually robbers and bandits, but the killers of Sunge Lao in Jingli. The reason why they came to Chang'an to kill Jin Juren and his family was because Jin Juren was an upright man and could not stand the behavior of the Sun family.

A few gossiping "passers-by" seemed to be discussing some hearsay news. The content was just like the romance stories told by the storyteller. Even the thrilling scenes of the murder of the Jin family and the rescue of Jin Jiashu seemed to have been witnessed with their own eyes. It sounded at least There are eight points of leave. No one with any sense would believe it.

However, the two maids brought to Chang'an from the capital by the nuns were trained as spies from childhood, but they immediately "cleverly" extracted useful information from the gossip, and realized that there was something wrong with the "murder case of the Jin family". Unexpectedly, Du Boqin was really involved. He quickly pretended to be curious and asked a few "passers-by" to find out the inside story.

Several "passers-by" told two or three slightly different versions, but no matter which version, they all said that the Sun family was the real culprits who killed the Jin family, and Du Boqin was found out because he shielded the killers. A "passerby" claimed to have relatives who were serving in the Chang'an vanguard, and vividly described the situation in which Du Boqin's soldiers participated in the murder but were caught. The maid knew that Du Boqin had a long-standing connection with the Sun family, and was already responsible for doing dirty work for the Sun family in Chang'an. She immediately did not dare to be careless and hurried back to her residence to report to the correctional mothers.

The correctional mothers had actually heard about the murder of the Jin family when they were in the Tang family, but they didn't take it seriously at that time and just regarded it as an ordinary bandit. When Du Boqin's accident happened, the entire Tang family focused on the vacant command post of Chang'an Vanguard, and the two accompanying nuns were only worried about their accomplices who were implicated by Du Boqin. They were in the inner house of the Tang family and had relatively little information. They only heard about the reason why Du Boqin was arrested today. They couldn't help but beat their chests and feet for this accomplice. They scolded him for being too careless and lamented that he was unlucky.

But no matter what, Du Boqin failed to do his dirty work well and exposed himself. In order to survive, he recruited so many spies from the Sun family. To the Sun family, he was an unforgivable sinner. The two upbringing mothers could understand Du Boqin's difficulties, but they also resented him for ruining the Sun family's arrangement, leaving them alone and helpless now.

Although they have contacted the spies stationed by the Sun family in the surrounding areas, the closest ones are thirty or forty miles away from Chang'an. Because they are afraid of being arrested by the Zhou family, they refuse to get close at all, let alone enter the city. Pick them up and leave. If they want to leave, they have to do it on their own. But it is easy for them to hire someone to protect them when they return to Beijing. How the Sun family will scold and punish them after returning to Beijing is beyond their ability to guess.

The spies were asking them if there was any chance of meritorious service? If they find a way to perform meritorious deeds, they will have an explanation to their superiors and won't have to worry about being punished. These days of fear and fear are really too difficult. They have to worry about how soon the border troops will find out about them, and they also have to worry about whether their captured accomplices will testify against them. They also have to fear the punishment and scolding of the Sun family in Beijing. Every day they feel like they are in a frying pan, suffering. Unspeakable.

It is just after the New Year, the weather in the north has just returned to spring, there is still a lot of snow on the roads, and the message transmission with Beijing has not returned to normal, so the person in charge of the Sun family may not have received the exact news and has not had time to issue a new one. According to the order, the spies around Chang'an can still live a peaceful life for a few days. But such days will not last long. When the Sun family knows what happened in Chang'an and sends people to question them, all of them, the minions from the surrounding areas of Chang'an, will have to take the blame. How can they still live a good life then? They were on pins and needles when they thought about their own wealth and life, and about their relatives who were held in the hands of the Sun family. They are willing to try anything if they have a chance to get out of trouble.

The two correctional mothers were forced to have headaches by their companions. Now that they heard the story of Jin Jiashu, they suddenly felt that they had found a new way to make meritorious deeds. They quickly sent their confidant maids to follow Jin Jiashu and his party to find out more information.

When Jin Jiashu came out of the third room of the Zhou family, he met everyone from the second room of the Jin family who came after hearing the news.

Mrs. Jin Er and Jin Miao are still in prison, but Mrs. Jin Liu and Aunt Jin have been released. The second member of the Jin family was fined a sum of money, and he had to settle the lawsuit between Mrs. Jin Er and Jin Miao, so the money was spent less and less. Although Jin Xin still had money in his hands, he couldn't afford such a huge expense. He had to worry about the livelihood of his whole family, and his life was also miserable. Hearing that the eldest nephew of his eldest son, who was blessed with good fortune, had come to the city, he quickly came over with his wife and children. He did not dare to keep a straight face and abuse him as he did in the past. Instead, he used a gentle approach and said some loving words sincerely to make Jin Jiashu happy. Poor remaining relatives, don't be like the old people.

In front of a crowd of onlookers who didn't know what was going on, Jin Jiashu didn't act mercilessly and pretend to be a good guy. He only said lightly: "The second old lady was so cruel that she swallowed up all the property of our eldest family, forced my father to leave home, and even chased him to force him to hand over the last bit of property that was at the bottom of the box. My father If she refused, she informed the murderer and asked outsiders to kill my family. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my benefactor, I would have died tragically in the countryside like my parents and brothers, and our eldest brother's property would also be lost. It fell into the hands of your second cousin. My cousin also had the nerve to ask me to pay my respects to my family and spend money to pay for the sins of the second old lady and my cousin? They are better off, but who will avenge my parents and brothers who died tragically?! "

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately no longer felt sorry for Jin Xin's family. No matter how old the old woman is, those who have done evil things are still sinners. Sinners should accept punishment. What is there to be pitiful about? This kind of thing is not popular in the northwest!

Jin Xin was speechless. Mrs. Jin Liu was more shameless and defended loudly: "We didn't kill the person, we were forced to confess to your family. How can you blame us? Who told you that you have offended a noble person and refused to share the benefits? Give us……"

Her words drew criticism from the onlookers. The maid crowded in the crowd heard someone whispering behind her: "I heard that the Jin family is related to a queen in the palace who gave birth to a prince. The noble concubine in the palace couldn't see that the queen was favored, so she sent someone to kill her only son. Relatives vent their anger..."

The maid's eyes suddenly lit up.
