Whether Concubine Xu Xian can successfully become Queen Mother Xu is not decided by the Hai family brothers and sisters.
Whether the second wife of the Jin family will tell Jin Jiashu's true life experience is not something that the Hai family siblings can control.
They could only use the information they obtained to analyze the current situation and help Jin Jiashu as much as possible.
For example, although the second wife of the Jin family is now greedy for the property left by Jin Juren, they are definitely not as bold as they were in their previous life. Although Zhang Pinggui and other killers trapped them in Pingyang Mansion and handed them over to the Sun family's in-laws to guard them, now that they were out of the control of the Sun family's in-laws and were about to come to the Zhou family's territory, they naturally no longer needed to look at the Sun family's face.
While they were able to succumb to the power of the Sun family in Pingyang Mansion, there was no reason why they suddenly became hardened under the power of the Zhou family in Chang'an Mansion. If the Zhou family asks them, they will most likely confess truthfully; most likely they will not dare to disobey anything the Zhou family does not allow them to do.
From this point of view, as long as the Zhenguo government is willing to take care of Jin Jiashu, the second brother of the Jin family will never have the courage to force Jin Jiashu to do something in the name of his relatives, let alone take away his property.
But the question is, will the second family member of the Jin family stay in Chang'an for a long time? If they settle in the city, do they have the freedom of movement to come to Jin Jiashu's door and harass him in his daily life?
Hai Jiao guessed: "The old lady in their family had a chronic illness and had to recuperate. And Jin Miao broke her leg again. She won't be able to walk without recuperation for three to five months. Besides, when they left Pingyang Mansion, they sued the Sun family The appearance of in-laws can be regarded as a serious offense to the Sun family. Apart from the territory of the Northwest Frontier Army, where else in the world can protect their safety? Aren't they afraid of revenge from the Sun family?
"I think they will definitely settle down in Chang'an City. As for whether they will come to find trouble for Jin Jiashu... I think they will not dare to do anything too extreme. After all, the Zhenguo Palace is here. It is just a relationship between relatives. I am afraid that daily etiquette is difficult to avoid. It would be fine if Jin Jiashu lives in the Zhenguo Palace. If he lives in a single house, even if there are many servants in the house, he may not be able to keep his relatives out. "
Haitang thought for a while: "If they decide to settle down in Chang'an City, we can just slowly find a way to deal with it. There are many ways to protect Jin Jiashu from their harassment. The Zhenguo Government may just want to let them The second brother of the Jin family made amends for the mistakes they had made, and ignored the rest. Whether they stay in Chang'an, go back to their hometown, or go elsewhere has nothing to do with the Zhou family. But for us and Jin Jiashu, It's best to find out first whether they know Concubine Xu Xian's true identity. If they don't know, they can fall in love wherever they want, as long as they don't let them meet Concubine Xu Xian. But if they know..."
Before she could finish her words, Haijiao had already understood what she meant: "...Then they must not be allowed to leave the northwest boundary! They cannot be allowed to talk outside randomly!"
Hai Jiao pursed her lips, feeling a little stressed. Although he has been able to influence the thoughts of the elders in his family and has channels to advise the most powerful people in Chang'an City, it would be really difficult for him to do this while concealing the truth from everyone. What should he do?
Suddenly, he thought of something: "That in-law of the Sun family... did he get his current official position through the Sun family's path? How is his official reputation?"
Haitang nodded: "My cousin inquired very carefully. He said that the official served as Tongzhi in Pingyang Mansion and basically did not do anything serious. However, he was greedy for money and did many bad things. He had a bad reputation. But because he was backed by The Sun family, and even the prefect of Pingyang had to give him three points of courtesy, and they could only endure it if they couldn't bear it. This time Jin Xin sued him, and the officials of Pingyang Prefecture got involved, hoping to use the power of Chang'an Prefecture Driving him away shows how unpopular he was in office."
Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows: "What kind of power can the Chang'an Palace have? Pingyang Palace wants to use the name of the Zhou family to drive people away, right? But it is the Chang'an Palace that wants to take away the second wife of the Jin family. What does it have to do with the Zhou family? The officials of Pingyang Mansion have the courage to deal with the Sun family's in-laws, but why don't they have the courage to bear the Sun family's revenge? Knowing that the Zhou family and the Sun family are not going to deal with each other, they still insist on using the Zhou family as a shield. This is not an aboveboard act. group!"
Besides, now the Chang'an government office still has to disassociate itself from the Zhou family. Magistrate Huang is considered a member of the emperor's side and cannot let the emperor misunderstand that he has colluded with the Zhou family! The Pingyang Prefecture officials are also local officials. It is impossible that they are unaware of this taboo, but they insist on dragging the Chang'an Prefecture officials into trouble. Isn't it too insidious?
Besides, Pingyang Prefecture in Shanxi is not within the sphere of influence of the Northwest Frontier Army. What reason does the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Frontier Army have to interfere in the local government affairs of the neighboring province? When the quarrel reached the imperial court, the Zhou family couldn't explain it even more clearly. The emperor had always thought that the Zhou family, which grew up in the northwest, was not respectful and loyal to him as the emperor!
Haitang couldn't help but sigh: "The officialdom is dangerous... Magistrate Huang didn't offend the officials of Pingyang Prefecture, right? The Zhou family was on the same page with them. They couldn't stand the fellow magistrate, so they just had to find their own way to deal with it. Why bother involving irrelevant people?”
Hai Jiao was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "It's okay, the people in Pingyang Mansion want to drag the Zhou family and Magistrate Huang into the water, we can drag others into the water too!"
Haitang blinked: "Ah? Brother, have you thought of any good ideas?"
Hai Jiao just remembered something he heard from Magistrate Geng on his way back to his hometown in his previous life.
The current commander of Shanxi Dusi, Zhao Zhuo, is from Pingyang Prefecture. He is jealous of evil and hates corrupt officials the most. If he knew that there was a corrupt official in his hometown who was causing harm to the people, how could he tolerate it?
Didn't the officials of Pingyang Mansion want to drive away the fellow intellectual, but they were also afraid of provoking the Sun family's revenge, so they wanted to drag others into trouble? Instead of looking for the Zhou family in the next province and Magistrate Huang of Chang'an, it would be better to look for the capital commander! At least he was from Pingyang Prefecture, so he had enough reason to deal with the black sheep in his hometown. He was also the chief official of Shanxi Dusi, and Pingyang Guard was under his jurisdiction. Pingyang Prefecture officials serve as other people's hometown parents. If they encounter difficulties, what's the difficulty in asking the superior department for help? Even if the military and political affairs are different and not under each other's control, we can still inform Pingyang Guards!
The most important thing is that this commander of the Zhao capital is actually the old subordinate of Yingchuan Hou's late father...
Hai Jiao told his younger sister Haitang: "When the late father Yingchuan Hou was alive, the commander-in-chief was still a young military attache. His boss died in his prime, leaving him without a place to live. It was Mrs. Yingchuan Hou Tai who recommended him to her natal family. Elder, he had the opportunity to perform meritorious service on the battlefield and rose to the high position he is today. Even though the two families are not closely connected on weekdays, they have always had a close friendship. In his previous life, something happened to the prince Yingchuan Hou in Ganzhou, and the Yingchuan Hou family Bearing a grudge against the Zhou family, the commander of the Zhao capital also angered the northwest officials. The reason why the old county magistrate mentioned him was because he was in charge of Taiyuan. In order to prevent unintended consequences, the old county magistrate deliberately avoided Taiyuan Prefecture on his way to Datong. …”
According to what the old county magistrate said at the time, he had a relative who had a small friendship with the Zhaodu commander, but the relationship was very weak. There were several precedents of Chang'an officials being embarrassed when passing through Taiyuan. In order not to affect his itinerary, he He would rather take a detour.
Officials from Chang'an who had friendship were treated in this way, which shows how deep the friendship between the commander of Zhao Du and the Yingchuan Marquis was.
Hai Jiao smiled slyly: "It would be great if he had a close friendship with Marquis Yingchuan! Marquis Yingchuan is about to turn against the Sun family. If he gets rid of the Sun family's in-laws who are causing harm to his hometown, wouldn't it make the two families look more like each other? Close? If the Sun family wants to take revenge afterwards, they will have to fight with the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion. What does that have to do with the Zhou family and the Chang'an Mansion?"
When the Sun family fights with Shanxi Dusi and Pingyang officials, will the Jin family's second room, the initial trigger, dare to show up in front of the Sun family?
