When Hai Jiao said this, he stopped and looked up at his sister.
Haitang was a little confused, but she wanted to continue listening: "What happened next? Did they quarrel? When we were in the third room of the Zhou family, we didn't realize that Zhang Pinggui and Mrs. Ma actually had conflicts?"
Haijiao sighed. The little sister has been acting so smart that he has forgotten that she is just a child, and no matter how smart she is, she can't do everything. He was just too pushy.
So he spoke more clearly: "Mrs. Ma said that she originally wanted Zhang Pinggui to pretend to be a 'cousin'... These three words don't remind you of anything?"
Haitang blinked, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "The young cousin of the third bedroom of the Zhou family? Brother means that when you met Cailuo at the gate of the third bedroom of the Zhou family in your previous life, she was the one who followed her …”
Hai Jiao nodded solemnly: "When I met Zhang Pinggui before, although I thought he looked familiar, I thought it was the impression I had left when I was chasing him before, so I didn't think much about it. But just now I heard what he said from my cousin. When I heard the word 'young master cousin', I remembered it. Zhang Pinggui looked a bit like the 'young master cousin' I had seen in my previous life, but at that time he was paler and fatter, had a round face, and was dressed more decently. , not as dark and thin as he is now, he looks like a half-grown border army boy."
In his previous life, it was more than a year later when he saw the "young cousin" in front of the third room of the Zhou family. After such a long time, if Zhang Pinggui had lived a better life, it would be normal for him to be whiter, fatter and rosier. However, their facial features are similar, and the similarities can be seen in their posture and gait. Hai Jiao didn't understand, why didn't he recognize it before? !
Haitang took a breath and quickly figured it out.
Zhang Pinggui should have followed the original plan in his previous life. Together with his accomplices, he killed the Jin family and then went to Dujiazhuangzi. He himself received a training course from a military household, and his accomplices met up with the dead soldiers of the Sun family who had arrived at Dujiazhuangzi earlier to carry out other tasks assigned by the Sun family. After Zhang Pinggui's training course was completed, the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion also decided on the place where the prince would train in the northwest, in Ganzhou where General Zhou was stationed. Then Du Boqin sent Zhang Pinggui to Ganzhou City in advance, preparing to attack the Yingchuan Hou Shizi. However, after Yingchuan Hou Shizi arrived in Ganzhou, he died at the hands of his new subordinates not long after he was assigned to his subordinates. Zhang Pinggui didn't have time to take action, but what he had done before left traces, and his identity was also fictitious. In order to avoid being found out by the Yingchuan Hou Mansion, he must escape.
He fled back to Chang'an City and entered the third room of the Zhou family as originally planned. Although the Sun family's plan failed, the result was still what they wanted. They probably wanted to continue to use the waste and pour sewage on the Zhou family's heads, so that the Marquis of Yingchuan and the Zhou family would turn against each other. Zhou Shuyi didn't know that she had been used as a shield. Mrs. Ma was still acting in accordance with the previous agreement and found a false identity for Zhang Pinggui. But the latter was too scheming. In order not to arouse suspicion, she did not arrange Zhang Pinggui to be her descendant, but gave him an identity that no one knew was true or false.
The biological sister of Zhou Shigong's wife, Zhou Ma's family, died in the city of Suzhou a few years ago. The Zhenguo Government will definitely send people to Suzhou to collect the remains of General Zhou's family. Mr. Zhou Ma still has a bit of feelings for his sister, so he will probably send someone to give her a lift and go with her to take care of the funeral arrangements for her sister and her family. If she was lucky, she might even hear that her sister's grandson had been kidnapped by barbarians. But even if she was unlucky, she would know that there was no body of Hai Jiao in Suzhou City. The whereabouts of her sister's grandson are unknown.
Mrs. Ma took advantage of this loophole and asked Zhang Pinggui to pretend to be Haijiao and enter the third room of the Zhou family. On the surface, he was a relative of the Zhou Ma family. The Zhou Ma family thought that he was the real thing and specially sent his confidant maid Cailuo to serve him. She served him delicious food and drinks, making everyone else become fatter.
Zhang Pinggui hid in the third room of the Zhou family. He should have been hiding quite quietly. The Yingchuan Marquis Mansion knew that the prince's death was caused by the Chiyu Disaster and was not due to any conspiracy. Although they hated Zhou Shuyi in their hearts and complained about General Zhou's lack of strict supervision, there was no reason to hold the third wife of the Zhou family accountable. The Marquis of Yingchuan could secretly deal with his sister-in-law, but the real shakeup of the Zhou family came after the death of Marshal Zhou, the Duke of the town. Although the third room of the Zhou family was tricked by Zhou Shuyi, it was generally safe. The Sun family failed to drag Zhou Shigong into trouble, so Zhang Pinggui naturally settled down.
Despite his status as Hai Jiao, if Zhou Ma paid close attention, he would not be able to leave Chang'an easily.
But when the real Haijiao came to visit, Mrs. Ma knew that he was the real owner as soon as she heard about his self-introduction. If Zhou Ma knew that Zhang Pinggui was a fake, the latter's identity would immediately be suspected by the Zhou family, and maybe someone would be able to find out the original assassination plan. How could Mrs. Ma let Hai Jiao walk into the third room of the Zhou family and meet Zhou Ma? Of course we have to fight hard to drive people away.
Speaking of which, Haijiao was somewhat lucky in his previous life. Mrs. Ma knew clearly that he was the real master and could expose Zhang Pinggui's identity at any time, but she did not send anyone to follow him and kill him. She allowed Hai Jiao to stay in Chang'an City for more than half a year in peace, earning a fortune in travel expenses and also After getting to know Magistrate Geng, he was able to return to his hometown smoothly.
Hai Jiao snorted: "How am I lucky? Is she lucky?"
On the day he arrived in Chang'an in his previous life, a major general from the Zhou family fell off his horse and was seriously injured. Rumors said that someone had plotted against him and that the person who did it was missing. At that time, the Zhou family was still talking about it in Chang'an City. The government officials, the guards of the capital, and the veterans of the Zhou family were all dispatched to search and hunt all over the city. Because Hai Jiao was a stranger, he was interrogated by several groups of people. Afterwards, he was unable to find a place to sleep on the street for free, because the officers and soldiers simply did not allow unidentified homeless people on the road! Fortunately, he met a kind-hearted official who was willing to rent the stable at home to him. For this reason, he had to leave all his luggage to the other party. It was not until he found a job and earned some money that he was saved. This bit of property.
In this environment where the entire city is on alert, Mrs. Ma will be suspected once she sends someone to take action. Zhang Pinggui would not even dare to leave the third room of the Zhou family! Hai Jiao also lives in the official's home. Once there is something wrong, the government will get the news immediately. How can a person with a guilty conscience dare to take risks?
As long as Hai Jiao doesn't go back to find Zhou Ma, Mrs. Ma and Zhang Pinggui will naturally be happy to pretend that this is not the case.
Hai Jiao sighed: "Not long after that, I met the old county magistrate Geng and moved to his house to work. Madam Ma was afraid that she couldn't find me at all, so how could she talk about killing people and silencing them? In my previous life, I felt that My aunt was ruthless and did not want to recognize her at all. She did not even mention her life experience to Magistrate Geng! Looking back now, I was so stupid... If I had told Magistrate Geng my identity at that time, I am afraid that He will be able to contact my aunt and grandma for me right away, and at the worst, he can also find my uncle and grandpa. Then my aunt and aunt will know that she has been deceived and that the 'Haijiao' in the third room of the Zhou family is just a fake!"
Hai Jiao does not regret returning to his hometown in his last life, but he regrets leaving without clarifying his identity in front of his relatives. How long has Zhou Ma been deceived by Mrs. Ma and Zhang Pinggui? If the Yingchuan Houfu found out about Zhang Pinggui, would she still regard him as her nephew and grandson and try her best to protect him? She won't suffer any loss because of this, right?
Hai Jiao usually hates those who betray their loved ones heartlessly, but when he found out that he had misunderstood an elder for more than 20 years, he couldn't stop feeling guilty.
As for this guilt, he had no way of mentioning it in front of the person involved, so he could only talk to his little sister...
