Chapter 518: Extinguishing the Mouth or Blaming the Blame
"Embroidery needles?" Xu Sanyuan walked in front of Shen Yan, his eyes aimed at the embroidery needle on the throat of the black shadow, and a trace of doubt and surprise appeared in his eyes, although he had mastered the secret spy and the brocade school, he had never heard of a master who used embroidery needles as a weapon.
"This person's strength is either above our family, or he doesn't have any strength at all, but relies on a special equipment to shoot out the embroidery needle, so our family didn't find this person at all."
"Does Father-in-law Xu know that people in the rivers and lakes or in some families are good at using embroidery needles as weapons?" Although Shen Yan got the person behind the assassination from the mouth of the black shadow as he wished, this abrupt embroidery needle made Shen Yan feel creepy.
"I don't know, we don't have any clues in this regard, not even the slightest clue." Hearing Shen Yan's question, a touch of helplessness and anger flashed in Xu Sanyuan's eyes.
Helplessly, I just didn't think that someone could easily kill a person with an embroidery needle in front of me, and I was angry that I was a congenital master, but the current innate master was worthless, if the object of this embroidery needle was himself, if it was the emperor, then who could stop this embroidery needle.
Shen Yan heard Xu Sanyuan's answer, the expectation and shock in his eyes quietly dissipated, although he did not have 100% confidence, but the owner of this embroidery needle must not be able to escape from the Zhao family in the northwest, otherwise, why did he quietly kill the black shadow, it was nothing more than afraid that the black shadow would reveal that Zhao Wouji was the person behind the interception and killing of him.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, someone wants to take the opportunity to blame Zao Wou-ki, so that he and Zao Wou-Ki can fight to the death, no, to be precise, they want the emperor to tear their faces with the Zhao family in the northwest, so as to obtain greater benefits from it.
If it is the first possibility, then the real strength of the Northwest Zhao family is far more terrifying than what he knows, fortunately, he chose to suppress the Northwest Zhao family economically, rather than directly turning his face with Zhao Wouji, in this way, even if the Northwest Zhao family has too much terrifying strength, as long as Zhao Wouji does not tear his face, he will not use these terrifying strengths on the surface, and he still has hope of winning.
If it is the second possibility, then who is desperate to let himself or the emperor directly interfere with Zao Wou-ki? Family, prince, or White Lotus? If it is a family, then which family will get more benefits from this matter, knowing that the main messenger who was intercepted and killed is Zao Wou-ki, and the only person he knows is Yang Manlou, could it be the Yang family?
Although the Yang family is the first family in the world, with the emperor's suppression over the years, the strength of the Yang family is also declining as a whole, in order to revive the former prestige of the Yang family, the Yang family can take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor and the Zhao family in the northwest to develop. However, the situation he got from Yang Manlou's mouth was very different from this conjecture.
The Yang family is now really facing the possibility of decomposition, many people in the Yang family want to come out to support a certain prince to win the heir, so as to get greater benefits from it, Yang Manlou does not support it, and now the patriarch of the Yang family is moving towards the people who jump out to support the prince, in addition, Yang Manlou in order to support his own business ideas, and even participate in it with a private personality, it stands to reason that it is definitely not the Yang family.
But Yang Manlou is known as the think tank of the Yang family, could it be that Yang Manlou has been deceiving himself?
If it wasn't the Yang family, which family would it be?
At this moment, Shen Yan deeply understood the disadvantages of his lack of information.
If it's not a family, but a prince, which prince will it be.
Although Xia Yuanxu stayed in Jinling, and the other princes all went to the local area to inspect on behalf of the emperor, Shen Yan knew very well in his heart that these princes must have left a lot of strength in Jinling, one could find out the news they wanted at any time, and the other could also deal with some important matters in time.
"Lord Shen, do you have any doubts in your heart?" Seeing that Shen Yan had been frowning, a trace of doubt flashed in Xu Sanyuan's eyes, how could Shen Yan be in a daze at this time, this was not Shen Yan's normal performance in the past, could it be that Shen Yan thought of some possibility in his heart.
"Father-in-law Xu, in your opinion, whose people want to kill people and kill people?" Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a touch of contemplation appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and then he asked indifferently.
"Behind the scenes, of course." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xu Sanyuan's eyes lit up, and although he spat out the answer, he did not name him. This is also a helpless choice, Xu Sanyuan is not sure whether the person who shot the black shadow has left or is lurking, or this is also a rule, the mastermind behind the scenes is very strong, so he can only tell the emperor secretly.
"Then if someone wants to take the opportunity to make this matter bigger, so that the lower officials can directly fight with the mastermind behind the scenes on behalf of the emperor, so that they can seek greater benefits from it?" When Shen Yan heard Xu Sanyuan's answer, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he did not deny Xu Sanyuan's answer, but expressed his doubts, another possibility.
"What do you mean?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xu Sanyuan's eyes flashed with a strong sense of surprise, if it is really as Shen Yan said, then this matter is big, and it is not something that he and Shen Yan can handle at this level, and they must notify the emperor as soon as possible.
"Xia Guan didn't mean anything, he was just thinking that there should be two sides to everything." An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said slowly.
"Normally, when this happens, the answer that can be thought of is that it must be the person behind the scenes, and I don't even think about whether it will be a false accusation, this is a habitual way of thinking of people, and I am no exception."
"But Lord Shen obviously came up with a different idea." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xu Sanyuan had an urge to slap Shen Yan hard, and directly said that he was an ordinary person, and said in a roundabout way, is it interesting.
"The reason why the lower official has this idea is that the lower official forced himself to think about it, because only in this way will the lower official think of more possibilities, so that he will not fall into a one-sided misunderstanding." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a touch of melancholy.
"Okay, since such an unpleasant thing has happened, our family feels that it is necessary to go back, and our family must truthfully report the cause and effect of this incident to the emperor as soon as possible, and before leaving, our family will get rid of Lord Shen and dispose of this corpse, so as not to cause some unnecessary panic after dawn." Xu Sanyuan was silent for a moment, and a touch of seriousness appeared on his face, someone had already killed someone under his nose, and this matter was already quite serious.
