Chapter 87: Peeling Back the Cocoon (Part 1)
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Du Shuixian's smooth forehead.
The most hidden thing was now lightly pointed out by the young magnate in front of him, and looking at his unfinished meaning, it seemed that he knew much more than that, how could he not let Du Shuixian's heart tremble.
What else does he know?
"Du Dangjia, don't be in a hurry to deny it."
Jia Yidao didn't seem to see the change in Du Shuixian's expression, slowly put down the teacup, looked Du Shuixian up and down and continued: "This official knows more things than Du Dangjia thinks this official knows about Lu Dao. Therefore, it is not too late for the official to persuade Du to think about it. ”
Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Du Shuixian felt that his whole heart sank again. If Jia Yidao didn't tell her origin, Du Shuixian would definitely think that Jia Yidao was pretending to deliberately deceive her, but after he had already pointed out her origin, he said that he knew much more than Du Shuixian thought, so Du Shuixian couldn't help but think about it.
Du Shuixian didn't speak, and Jia Rudao was not in a hurry.
In the first half month, he was not doing useless work, he knew better than anyone that those people of the three religions and nine streams with tentacles in all walks of life and every corner of Lin'an City were the most clear-sighted people in Lin'an City.
Being able to finally target Du Shuixian's Jiushantang in this huge Lin'an City is what Jia Rudao has gained from those trembling underworld brothers in Lin'an City in the past half month.
Of course, this harvest is only one of Jia Rudao's many gains.
"My lord, what do you want to know from the mouth of the people's daughter?"
The words have come to this point, Du Shuixian knows that if he continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb if he doesn't know what to do, then I'm afraid Jia Yidao won't be so easy to speak.
She was the last person to be summoned for questioning, but on the day she came to Lin'an Mansion for questioning, there were suddenly so many officials patrolling and soldiers on the streets of Lin'an City, it was difficult for her not to connect some of the processes in between.
Du Shuixian did not guess wrong, but he only guessed part of it correctly.
There was indeed an operation against the Nine Senses, but the soldiers and patrols on the streets were not entirely arranged for a small Nine Senses.
At this time, the matter of Jia Guifei being drugged in the inner court must be that the entire government and the opposition, those who know the Dao, and those who should know the Dao, have basically all received the news, and the calm Lin'an City on the surface actually doesn't know how many undercurrents are surging inside.
In fact, the most important thing about these arrangements is to prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
"Good! Du Dangjia is indeed a heroine among women, and his reputation is well deserved. The official will not hide it, please tell the official how many people from the north have entered Lin'an City through your Jiushan Hall, their identity, arrangement, of course, and most importantly, where they are hiding now. As long as Du Dangjia says what the official wants to know, the official will not only not pursue the past, but will also ask for credit to Du Dangjia. ”
Jia Rudao high-fived and said in a positive voice.
Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Du Shuixian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
You already know that Lu Dao, Sun Kui and the others entered Lin'an City through their own Jiushan Hall, do you have a choice between saying it or not?
What's more, after learning about the situation of the assassination that day, Du Shuixian knew that it was the group of people brought in by his Jiushantang ship that did the assassination. But they never told her anything, they just wanted to roast her on the fire.
To say that Du Shuixian is not angry in his heart is absolutely false.
The only thing she regrets now is why she didn't ask Sun Kui why he sneaked into Lin'an City through her Jiushan Hall. So much so that more than 1,000 mouths up and down the Jiushan Hall fell into such an unfavorable situation.
"My lord, the folk girls really don't know that they originally wanted to take my Jiushantang's ship into Lin'an City in order to assassinate Meng Dashuai......"
"I don't need to say that anymore. Du Dangjia still said something useful. ”
"Yes, sir. However, the folk girl really doesn't know where Sun Kui and the others are hiding now. Du Shuixian really didn't know where Sun Kui was hiding now, but he could only say it truthfully.
Fortunately, Jia Yidao, who was sitting at the top, did not change color as Du Shuixian thought, which made her feel a little calm.
Sun Kui?
It seems that Du Shuixian really knew those assassins. Jia Rudao was slightly excited in his heart.
As for not being able to ask Du Shuixian where those assassins are now, Jia Rudao has actually been mentally prepared for a long time. When he learned through the Chinese people who were in charge of the various docks and the Cao Gang that the ship of Jiushantang had transported a group of people with northern accents a month ago, Jia Rudao had already roughly figured out some context. As for the arrangements for the latter period, most of them are actually prepared for Jiushantang.
However, after all, human calculation is not as good as heavenly calculation.
On the same day, he met Meng Hui in Shi Song's mansion, and Jia Yidao originally planned to ask Meng Hui if he had an enemy. It's a pity that when Jia Guifei was killed, he left in a hurry, and he didn't have time to communicate with Meng Hui at all.
The assassination of Meng Hui and the murder of Jia Guifei are two things, and no one dares to guarantee that there is no connection between these two things, and no one dares to guarantee that there is any connection between these two things.
After thinking about it, Jia Rudao still decided to end the assassination of Meng Hui early, if there is a connection between the two, you can also open the gap to prepare for the next step, if there is no connection, it is the best.
The reputation of Jiushantang is still good in Lin'an City, at least in the Xicheng area. Perhaps because the head of the house is a woman, Jiushantang rarely extorts money, but provides a lot of protection to the merchants and people of Xicheng.
From the assassination of Meng Hui to the ship of Jia Rudao Dao Jiushantang that once transported a group of people with northern accents into Lin'an City, there were nearly seven or eight days in between, if this assassination of Du Shuixian also had a part, then she should have packed the package in advance and prepared to run away before Meng Heng was assassinated, instead of staying in Lin'an City stupidly waiting to be arrested.
Du Shuixian didn't run, or he pretended to be calm, and there was a bigger plan behind him; Either those who wanted to kill Meng Heng didn't tell Du Shuixian about the purpose of their coming to Ancheng at all, so that Du Shuixian was also caught off guard.
Intellectually speaking, there is a chance that both of these possibilities will appear. However, from a personal point of view, Jia Yidao is more inclined to the second point. That is, Du Shuixian is actually just a tool for those people, and then it is abandoned when it is used up.
"Du Dangjia will tell the official how Sun Kui contacted Du Dangjia and the whole process of leaving after the most ruin."
