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

Chapter 956 Recruiting people
The water in the big pot on the stove has been boiled twice.

Haitang scooped half a spoonful of hot water into the basin, added cold water, adjusted it to the appropriate temperature, then took a cloth towel and brought them to her brother Haijiao's kang, urging him to wash his head, face and hands, and poured him some water for washing his feet.

Haijiao felt lazy all over and was too warm to move, but his little sister still took good care of him and he felt very happy.

But when he thought that such a caring little sister was going to get married, and the one he was going to marry was Jin Jiashu, a guy who was half dead after being poisoned, even if he had the medicine from his little sister, he would have a chance to detoxify and recover, Haijiao felt very uncomfortable.

I don't know how many years Jin Jiashu has been trying to get my younger sister, but I pretend to be obedient in front of him...

Haijiao let the little sister do whatever she wanted. After washing his hands, feet, head and face, he changed into casual clothes and was then stuffed back into the warm bed. He felt so comfortable that he didn't want to move a finger anymore.

Haitang poured him a pot of hot water, wrapped it in a cotton cover, and placed it on the small table at the end of the kang along with the teacup and the box of snacks: "Brother, if you are thirsty, just get up and drink some water. The box contains the snacks that were made today, so you can eat them when you are hungry. Do you need someone to watch over the night? If you need anything done, just ask someone to do it."

Haijiao already felt sleepy: "No need...it would be troublesome if someone heard me talking in my sleep..."

Haitang asked him again: "What are you going to do tomorrow? Do you need anything prepared for you?"

Haijiao blinked and said, "Except for visiting some future subordinates, I don't plan to go out tomorrow. You can ask the kitchen to prepare some cakes for me as gifts for guests. If you don't have time to make them at home, buy them from outside. Choose the more affordable ones, not the useless ones."

He could see several friends he knew in Chang'an, whether it was Jin Jiashu or Zhou Yijun, in the palace. As for Wu Ke, who was a level lower in relationship, he had also seen him two or three times in the past few days. Apart from the newly recruited subordinates, he had no one in the capital who needed to be visited during the holidays, so he could take the opportunity to have a good rest at home for a few days. Since his last rest, he had been working non-stop for so long that he was really exhausted.

Haitang responded, thinking that she would go and tell Aunt Cui about it soon. When she was packing up the basin, she paused and suddenly remembered something: "Brother, now that you have become a centurion, do you have more reason to recruit those spies you knew in your previous life?"

Haijiao burst out laughing: "Of course! Now I want to recruit a few more people, and I don't have to look at other people's faces anymore! As long as I ask, no one among the spies will refuse!"

Now he is a hot new noble in Jinyiwei. Not only did he protect the emperor, he also saved the life of King Kang. He is about to marry the nephew of Queen Mother Xu. He is also a student of Tao Ge Lao's best friend. He is a childhood friend of General Zhou Si's son. He has been friends with General Tu Rong's eldest son for many years... Even the Yingchuan Marquis's Mansion, he can get in touch with them in a roundabout way. Who in Jinyiwei has a stronger background than him? !
He was a military family member, his father was a martyred hero, his grandfather was a military official who was transferred from the military to the civil service and became an official in the Ministry of Revenue. He was not a relative of the emperor, nor was he a patron saint. After he joined the Jinyiwei, he made meritorious contributions. He was definitely a legitimate family member, not a person with bad connections. Because he was in the imperial court, he could also help other colleagues to show their faces in front of the new emperor. Now even the commander of the Jinyiwei was kind to him and cared for him, and no one would offend him without knowing how to behave.

He has always been modest and polite, kind to others, and generous in his actions, so that no one can find fault with him. When he became a centurion, he took the place of someone who had made mistakes and was dismissed, and never harmed the interests of his superiors and colleagues. Who in the Jinyiwei would not want to be close to a new noble with a bright future like him? Who among the spies under him would not want to surrender? He needed to recruit subordinates, and he did not poach others, but selected from the spies and the soldiers who no one cared about. He was so knowledgeable and interesting, if someone still wanted to trip him up, it would be too much!

Even if someone complained that there were too many former spies among his men, and that it would be troublesome to convert spies into regular soldiers, he had enough reasons to prevaricate. He had previously recruited many spies to investigate the Sun family's private soldiers and assassins. At that time, he could not give them any reward except for the bounty. Now that he had the ability, he would return the favor. What was wrong with that?
In short, he wanted to recruit people, but he didn't poach people from other colleagues. Others should be thankful. What else is there to complain about? How many spies were there under the Jinyiwei? He just wanted to take away a dozen people. Did it bother anyone? Even the Jinyiwei commander only praised him for being too humble and easy to deal with. There was absolutely no reason to be picky!

Well... He will go to Zhang Lurong tomorrow, and he must recruit him. There are also his master and senior brothers in his previous life, those who have helped him, those who are on good terms with him, those who are capable and reliable... He might as well recruit Zhang Lurong's adoptive father, the Whip Zhang San. He will need people under him, and he will also need a car. By the way, he can also recruit Zhang San's son-in-law. This kid is not outstanding at the moment, and he is actually not very noticeable under others, but he will be promoted in a few years. Such a talent, if he is recruited to his side early, will be a powerful assistant in a few years, how can he let it go...

Haijiao fell asleep while making his wishful calculations.

Haitang listened to her brother gradually becoming silent, and seeing that he had fallen asleep, she tiptoed out of the east wing.

When they returned to the upper room, the feast had already ended, and only Hai Xiya and the Ma couple were left in the room.

They were not surprised to see Haitang coming back. Ma smiled and asked, "What took you so long? I don't know if you've eaten enough. I asked someone to send some snacks to your room. They're all freshly steamed. If you're still hungry, eat some to fill your stomach."

Haitang agreed, and then said, "When I was washing my brother's face, I woke him up, so I persuaded him to wash his feet as well, and asked him some questions. He was hesitant and refused to say anything, saying that things in the forbidden area should not be spread to outsiders. It really infuriated me!"

Hai Xiya smiled and said, "He is serving in front of the emperor and has his own palace rules to abide by. Don't make things difficult for him. When he wakes up tomorrow, we can ask him questions. If he can tell us, he will certainly not hide it from us."

Haitang responded and talked about Haijiao's plan for tomorrow. Ma said hurriedly, "We already have steamed cakes at home, why go out to buy them? I'll ask the kitchen to make them, you don't have to worry about it."

Ma went to call Aunt Cui to give instructions. Haitang took the opportunity to leave and returned to her own courtyard.

She casually said something to Xiangcao, closed the door, turned around and walked to the dressing table. She took out a small porcelain bottle from the secret compartment of the makeup box. Inside was the Tianxin Haitang Detoxification Pills that she had just prepared a few days ago.

It's a pity that Haijiao couldn't help her deliver the medicine to the palace so that Jin Jiashu could take it as soon as possible. But Jin Jiashu already knew that she had Tianxin Haitang, so he should have expected that she might have medicine that could cure the remaining poison in him, right?

Haitang wondered secretly whether she should write a secret letter to Jin Jiashu to discuss with him when to leave the palace and come to the Hai family to take the medicine?
