Chapter 21: The Mysterious Employer

Liu Luoqu said: "Maybe the employer doesn't know? ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "I don't know." In short, this employer is not only mysterious, but also smart. ”

Wu Sihe looked at Tang Anshu and asked, "Anshu, what is your judgment?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "My judgment is that Shen Qingmeng should not be the employer's person, but she should be Sun San's person, this is too obvious, at the same time, Shen Qingmeng should have her own plans, in other words, there are other forces behind her." ”

"Shen Qingmeng could have hidden her identity, but she wanted to expose herself, which shows that she is indeed waiting for us, and she knows very well that we will fail." Wu Sihe analyzed seriously, "Isn't this very contradictory?" Why? ”

Wu Sihe looked at Tang Anshu after speaking, looking forward to his analysis and answers.

Tang Anshu thought for a moment: "Under the premise that Shen Qingmeng has no direct contact with her employer, she is not only Sun San's person, but also has other forces behind her, so there are two possibilities, one is that this is a serial bureau laid by Sun San, even if the lame man is exposed, he can continue to set us down, so the question is, what is the purpose of the serial bureau?" What's the use of doing this? ”

Wu Sihe shook his head: "If the lame man's bureau is broken, Sun San doesn't need to make any more extraneous branches, because as long as the bureau is broken, we will know that the information is wrong, under this premise, either give up the prison robbery, or only break through, Sun San can't think of it." ”

Liu Luoqu responded: "I agree with Senior Brother Wu's analysis, An Shu, what is the second?" ”

"Second, Shen Qingmeng's purpose is "Jinling Jane", there is no doubt about this, but she is just a prostitute, without any status and power in the rivers and lakes, she can become Sun San's pawn, it is not accidental, maybe it was arranged by another force, that is to say, now in addition to the employer, there is also a force that wants to use us." After Tang Anshu finished analyzing, he paused and said, "And Sun San on Snake Heart Island, their purpose is just to kill us." ”

After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he thought of something again, and suddenly said: "In addition, I think that the person behind Shen Qingmeng is very likely to be the person who wants to attack Wedge Island, or has some connection with it. ”

Wu Sihe nodded, and Liu Luoqu also got up and said: "I agree with this, where does a girl have such great ability, if she wants to set off a storm, someone must support her." ”

Wu Sihe asked: "So, Shen Qingmeng actually didn't deliberately wait for us, but wanted to wait for a group of people who she and her master thought were capable of going to the prison to find Wei Qiming?" ”

"That's what I thought, so I refused Shen Qingmeng's request last night." As soon as Tang Anshu said this, Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu were stunned.

Wu Sihe hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going to discuss with us?" Why did you refuse again? ”

"You think, when Shen Qingmeng said that last night, she just wanted me to think that she was the employer's person, but she was very smart and knew that those words were untenable, but why did she say that?" Tang Anshu looked at the desktop and analyzed, "I think, there is only one reason, she wants me to know who the master behind her is." ”

Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu glanced at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand the meaning of Tang Anshu's words.

Tang Anshu got up and walked to Liu Luoqu: "Let me give you an example, you and Uncle Wu and some other friends came to my house as guests, during which you saw Uncle Wu take away a piece of jade from my family, but you can't say it clearly, that will offend people, so when I find that the jade is missing and come to question you, how will you answer?" ”

Liu Luoqu thought for a while, pointed at Wu Sihe and said: "I definitely won't say it's him, but I will say that I didn't do it, definitely not me, even if you ask me if I did it Senior Brother Wu, I will say I don't know, anyway, it wasn't me who did it, which is equivalent to implying that it was him." ”

Tang Anshu shook his head with a smile, and at this time Wu Sihe said: "No, the best way is that you only need to deny that you have stolen jade, while hinting at Anshu to narrow down the scope and give Anshu certain hints, for example, you can tell Anshu and let Anshu come to me for a way, because I like jade the most, so that Anshu will understand." ”

Tang Anshu nodded: "That's right, in the same way, after I rejected Shen Qingmeng's request, she didn't say anything more, and then, in a few days, someone will attack Wedge Island, once the news spreads, we will naturally know who the attacker is, and we will naturally be able to connect the two." ”

Liu Luoqu got up and walked to the table: "This girl is a little yin, but why did she do this?" Looks like her master doesn't want us to know who she really is. ”

Wu Sihe said: "Maybe it's Shen Qingmeng, who has his own purpose, and doesn't want to work for Sun San and her master anymore, and Anshu's reputation is so big, so she sees hope, so she has a glimmer of hope?" ”

Tang Anshu nodded: "That's right, I think so too, you know, if this is a gambling game, Shen Qingmeng doesn't take risks at all, she is just the one who stands behind the gambler and instigates the gambler to bet, if she wins, she can get two rewards, and if she loses, she can leave and replace the next gambler." ”

Liu Luoqu slapped the table: "We can't be played by a girl!" Damn it! ”

Tang Anshu signaled Liu Luoqu not to be so excited: "Uncle Liu, the most important thing for us at the moment is to get that half of the map, and then hurry to the prison." ”

"An Shu is right, we are being hunted down now, maybe the killer was sent by the employer." Wu Sihe clenched his fists, "I think as long as we complete the commission, the chase may stop." ”

Liu Luoqu was silent, he knew too well how Feng Manlou did things.

Tang Anshu looked at the embarrassed two: "I went to find the cripple, originally to turn passive into active, when I followed the clues to find Shen Qingmeng, I found that things were complicated, and there was no way to follow the clues to follow, so, for the sake of insurance, there is only one way to go now." ”

Wu Sihe asked, "Which way?" ”

Tang Anshu said two words: "Dead ear." ”

In the Osmanthus House of the Eight Kings Courtyard, Shen Qingmeng met with Ying Ye again and told him in detail about his meeting with Tang Anshu.

Of course, she concealed asking Tang Anshu how to attack Wedge Island, and she knew very well that once Ying Ye knew about it, she would immediately die on the spot.

However, she knew better that Tang Anshu would not leak this matter.

"So, it's very likely that Tang Anshu thinks I'm the real employer?" Ying Ye asked behind the screen.

Shen Qingmeng stood with his back to the screen: "He won't be fooled so easily, it's not unreasonable that he can inherit the name of the Gentleman at such a young age." ”

"So what? Although he is indeed a gentleman, he has not been affirmed by the Earth Master Association, just like his master, the so-called name of their master and apprentice is just a love on the rivers and lakes. Ying Ye said disdainfully, "If he really had that much ability, he would have taken refuge under the command of a certain handsome, and he would not wander around and wander around like he is now." ”

Shen Qingmeng was silent, just listened quietly, she didn't think so, in her eyes, Tang Anshu was much more difficult to deal with than Ying Ye, because she couldn't see through Tang Anshu at all, that young man was like a strange stone that was changing at any time, weird and hard, you never knew what was hidden in the stone.

Ying Ye said again: "After you gave him half of the map according to the plan, how did he react?" ”

Shen Qingmeng said: "He asked me what conditions I wanted before I was willing to give the remaining half." ”

Ying Ye asked, "Huh?" ”

Shen Qingmeng immediately said: "I followed your instructions and told him that if he wants to get the remaining half, he must go to the prison immediately and stop staying in Yongcheng." ”

Ying Ye said: "As long as we have a map in our hands, Tang Anshu must cooperate with us, even if he knows that I am not a real employer, but he needs a map, when he comes to you again and asks for the remaining half of the map, you tell him that there must be an additional person in his team, as for who it is, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Shen Qingmeng nodded: "I understand." ”

"But ......" Ying Ye's words suddenly changed, "Tang Anshu has another way to go now, he can go to the omniscient and omniscient Ear." ”

Shen Qingmeng was startled, and turned to look at the screen: "If he goes to find the Dead Ear, won't he be able to know your identity?" ”

Ying Ye sneered: "It's not that simple to do business with the Stygian, you can only buy one piece of information at a time, do you think, will he ask for the information of the Hell, or will he ask for my identity?" ”

Shen Qingmeng was silent.

Ying Ye said again: "If my identity is revealed, there is no doubt that you betrayed me!" ”

Shen Qingmeng hurriedly knelt down: "Don't dare." ”

"?" Shadow Ye's disdainful laughter came again, "You don't count, you're just a prostitute." ”

Shen Qingmeng knelt there and bit his lip tightly.

Tang Anshu will not go to see the people of the underworld alone, one is that the current situation is dangerous, and he will suffer if he acts independently, and the second is to do this, so that Liu Luoqu and Wu Sihe can rest assured, after all, the three of them only believe in each other on the surface now.

Where will the Dark-Eared Man be?

Anywhere, maybe the midnight changer is their man, maybe the street merchant is too, but no matter where in the country, if you want to see the people of the Dead Ear, you must first find the largest local gathering place of cats and beggars, and then find a way to find out the whereabouts of the Dead Ear.

"Why look for the place with the most cats and beggars?" Wu Sihe asked suspiciously.

Liu Luoqu explained: "The dark ears used to be called cat ears, and the reason why they are so called is because they compare themselves to cats, flexible and omniscient cats. ”

Wu Sihe shook his head: "Why don't you call it a mouse ear?" ”

Tang Anshu explained with a smile: "Cats are domestic animals and can enter the mansion at will, but rats are not, which means that they can swagger in and out like cats, which is lovely, and will not be shouted and beaten like mice." ”

"I see." Wu Sihe understood, but he asked again, "Then why is it called Stygian again?" ”

Tang Anshu explained: "In ancient times, it was believed that cats could benefit people, and the reason why they thought so was mainly because cats could catch voles that harmed crops, and at the same time, it was also believed that cats could ward off evil spirits, especially black cats, it was rumored that black cats could see things that ordinary people could not see, and although cats of other colors could not see, they could hear with their ears, even if it was the footsteps of ghosts, so cat ears were finally renamed Dark Ears." ”
