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

Chapter 453 Timing
"Jinwu?"

Hai Jiao couldn't help showing a surprised expression after hearing his younger sister Hai Tang talk about his experience at home this evening.

He turned to look at Jin Jiacun: "Xiao Jin, is this Jin Wu your cousin in the second room? What is he doing here? Could it be that he is here to find you?"

The Sun family's spies stationed in Lintong County came to Chang'an City in an attempt to kidnap Jin Jiashu. They also took Wu Qiong, the orphan girl of the Wu family, as a hostage, and broke into the Hai family to threaten Wu Wen'an's old disciple Xie Wenzai. This is not a secret, it has long been spread in the city, and many generals and officials have heard about it. Although the second member of the Jin family had no local connections, it was not impossible to inquire if he wanted to. But even if they knew that Jin Jiashu was living in the Hai family, it wouldn't be a big deal. They couldn't enter the Hai family anyway.

But they knew Jin Wu couldn't get in, so they still sent him to the Hai family's door to spy on them furtively. What was their plan?

After hearing Hai Jiao's question, Jin Jiashu looked calm: "Besides looking for me, he has no reason to come to this alley, right? He can't just go to the nearby market to eat, drink and have fun. Maybe it was because I went to the prefect's Yamen to visit Huang that day. My lord, I was discovered by them, followed me all the way, and found out that I was about to move out of the Hai family, so I wanted to come and see if I could find an opportunity to take advantage of this."

This speculation is reasonable. Hai Jiao sneered: "Go ahead and dream! Back then, they took away your family's property regardless of family ties, and then betrayed your family's whereabouts to the gangsters, causing your family to die tragically. Today they were arrested and brought to justice by the government, and they asked the same question You are lucky enough to be charged with seizing property instead of colluding with gangsters to kill your relatives! Do they still have the nerve to ask you to intercede for them! You have done so much and still expect to be acquitted? , will I go back to suck your blood and take away your child?"

"Brother Hai, don't worry, I won't be confused." Jin Jiashu said lightly, "Even if it's for my parents, I won't spare them. Whenever I ask for mercy on their behalf, it's unfilial to my parents." ! "Even if he can't kill everyone in the second house, he must keep them all in the northwest and not allow any of them to return to their hometown in Zunhua Prefecture safely, lest they reveal their mother's secret to outsiders. Bringing no risk to the mother and brother in the palace.

Seeing Jin Jiashu's firm tone, Hai Jiao felt relieved and was interested in discussing it with his younger sister Haitang: "Forget about the adults in the second room of the Jin family, they are so greedy that they are already hopeless. How come the younger generation can do this too?" Are you confused? Does Jin Wu really think it’s useful to come to Xiao Jin for mercy? Where does this come from?”

Haitang received the hint in her brother's eyes and knew the hidden meaning of his words. In his previous life, Jin Wu had the best reputation among the second wife of the Jin family. After moving to Beijing, he married a noble girl. He was once very prosperous, but he failed to defeat his stupid and greedy grandmother and parents at home. Logically speaking, he should be considered a smart man, but now, he seems to be coming to Jin Jiashu to plead for mercy. This is obviously stupid. Does he have any brotherhood with Jin Jiashu? Where do you get the confidence to think that you can persuade the latter to show your favor? Or... what kind of bargaining chip does he have?
Is it possible that someone in the second room of the Jin family finally discovered that the Xu family who entered the palace that year was probably not dead?
Haitang knew what Haijiao was worried about, but the brother and sister could only discuss these words in private. They could not mention it to Jin Jiashu in person, so they had to ask in a roundabout way.

Jin Jiashu didn't notice the questioning meaning in Hai Jiao's words, and just smiled and said: "He and I naturally don't have any brotherhood. As long as I can remember, he is the precious egg that everyone in the family loves, and he can live in a good life. , can go to school and study, and the elders always praise him when they mention him. Unlike me, who is always beaten and scolded, if I want to learn to write a few words, if I read the "Three Character Classic", the people in my second wife will jump out and laugh at me. "

Jin Wu, who was deeply loved by his elders, naturally had no brotherhood with him, a poor little boy who was bullied. Although the former would not scold him day and night together with his parents and elders, he would not kindly plead for him either. They didn't have much communication on weekdays. Only when Jin Wu got together with his rich classmates in school and someone needed to pretend to be a bookboy to support the occasion, would he kindly bring out some books, pen and ink and other items to coax him. When the party is over and he is no longer needed, Jin Wu will return to his usual aloofness.

Later, a letter came from the capital and the emperor rewarded him with gold. After Jin Juren was willing to let his eldest son study, he also asked Jin Jiashu to get along well with Jin Wu, who was good at studying, and to become a pair of friendly cousins ​​and support each other in the future. But Jin Jiashu always just pretended to respect his cousin in front of others. Behind his back, he would never get close to him, and Jin Wu also had no brotherly feelings for him.

Jin Jiashu knew what he was thinking, and Jin Wu must have known it too, so he shouldn't be asking for trouble. But he still came, which only meant that he must have been sent by his elders. Jin Jiashu understood in his heart that it seemed that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

This thought flashed through Jin Jiashu's mind, and he said to Hai Jiao and Hai Tang: "Thank you, Sister Hai, for telling me the news. I will be more careful. Brother Hai doesn't have to worry about me. I know what to do. My husband and I Unlike my father, I have absolutely no relationship with my second wife, only the hatred accumulated over the past ten years. As long as I don’t want to, no one from my second wife can force me to agree to anything.”

Seeing that he was determined, Hai Jiao also showed a reassuring expression: "That's good. I'll go and tell Yijun tomorrow, when will the escort that the Zhenguo Government promised to arrange for you arrive? If there is a reliable one at home. People control the situation, even if someone from the second room of the Jin family dares to break in and cause trouble, they won't be able to hurt you at all. "

Jin Jiashu thanked Hai Jiao for his kindness and said that he had asked people to clean up the house. The people arranged by the Zhenguo Government were here and could move in at any time.

It was getting late, so Hai Jiao got up and said goodbye, pulling his little sister out of the second courtyard and back to his room.

"I feel something is wrong." Hai Jiao lowered his voice, "Xiao Jin seems to be hiding something from us."

Haitang also said: "I also think it's weird. Although his house is almost ready and ready to move in at any time, it still doesn't make sense to set the date in such a hurry. I feel like he seems to be in a hurry to move out, and I'm suspicious of him. Could it be that living in our house makes it difficult for him to do things he doesn’t want others to know? "

Haijiao was thoughtful. The second room of the Jin family sent someone to spy on the alley. They probably found out that Jin Jiashu was moving and wanted to find him.

Now that the official documents and evidence from Zunhua Prefecture have been sent to the Chang'an government office, Magistrate Huang is about to open a court hearing on the case between Mrs. Jin Er and Jin Miao. The second brother of the Jin family was determined to put all the blame on Jin Miao and exonerate the others. Even Mrs. Jin Er wanted to be acquitted. However, Magistrate Huang was angered by the actions of the Magistrate of Zunhua Prefecture, and was not ashamed of what the second eldest brother of the Jin family had done. He did not want to cooperate, and he had to let them all be punished. When the news spreads, the second room of the Jin family will definitely be worried about this. They wanted to come to Jin Jiashu's house, and they must have wanted him to show his favor and put in a good word.

Judging from Jin Jiashu's visit to Magistrate Huang that day, he was quite favored by Magistrate Huang. If he is really willing to plead for mercy, there seems to be a lot of hope that the second wife of the Jin family can escape the blame. At least, that's what the second roommate of the Jin family thinks.

It's just that... Jin Jiashu, who went to visit Magistrate Huang before the trial of the case, and showed that Magistrate Huang valued him in front of others, did he really not do it on purpose?
But why would he do it on purpose?
Hai Jiao raised his eyes and looked at Haitang: "Little sister, do you think Xiao Jin... is he just waiting for someone from the second room of the Jin family to come to him?"
