Chapter 63: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
After listening to what the second uncle said so much, I also have some answers to the doubts in my heart earlier. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI really can't understand the cause of the master's death, maybe his intentions are right, but I think there must have been a better solution at that time, but the master didn't have a choice.
However, after learning about these things of the Meng family, I also deeply understood the helplessness of the master, maybe dying at the bottom of the sea is a relief, at least there is no need to disguise, let alone go to great lengths for here.
Although the second uncle told me so many stories about the Meng family and the Murong family, I was deeply skeptical of some of what he said. He said that the Murong family did a lot of extreme things in order to restore the country, which I believe, after all, the people of the ancient imperial family were often unscrupulous to power. But he said that the Meng family did the experiment for the progress of mankind, which I can't believe, he described the Meng family as too great, and asked which tomb robber from ancient times to the present day would have such a great idea.
Although it cannot be said that all tomb robbers are bad people, few are good people after all. I think the reason why he wants to say this is nothing more than to whitewash the Meng family. Of course, this is not surprising, and it is also in line with the characteristics of human nature, who would say that their family is full of evil, so I can still accept his whitewashing.
Of course, there are still some details worth figuring out, after all, the fifth senior brother has not yet finished dealing with those poisonous dusts, and there is still time for me to learn more information from the second uncle.
"Second uncle, there is one more thing, I didn't understand, you said that the master was a bait for the senior brother, so the ship that took us to the sea was also your Meng family?" I asked.
"No" The second uncle didn't expect me to ask this, looked at me in surprise, and said, "You actually want to know this."
"Since the owner of the ship is not the Meng family, how can he know the secrets of that sea?" In fact, this is the question I want to know the most, because I have always been suspicious of the shipowner, and I always feel that he has not told the truth, looking at the surprised expression of the second uncle, it is not difficult to find that he must know something.
"This is a long story, and it can't be said clearly in one or two sentences." The second uncle glanced at the seventh uncle, as if he was asking for the opinion of the seventh uncle, the seventh uncle understood, nodded slightly, and the second uncle continued: "In fact, not every Meng family member knows the secrets of the seabed, most people only know that there are relics of the Meng family on the bottom of the sea, but they don't know the specific location, it can be regarded as a high secret of the Meng family, even your senior brother doesn't know the specific location of that sea area." Let me tell you this, your master's purpose in going to the sea is not only to confuse those tomb robbers, but also to kill two birds with one stone. ”
When I heard the second uncle say that there was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, I knew that he didn't tell me everything about the master just now. Presumably, the opinion he solicited from the Seventh Senior Uncle was about this plan to kill two birds with one stone, which may involve some secrets of the Meng family, otherwise he would not have asked for the consent of the Seventh Senior Uncle.
The second uncle said that the reason why the master had to use the plan to go to the sea back then was not all insistent, and some of them were forced to do it. More than ten years ago, the salvage ship frequently operated in that area, which attracted the attention of the Meng family.
The Meng family began to send people to investigate the background of the salvage ship, but after some investigation, it was found that the salvage ship was not special, it was extremely ordinary. But this did not make the Meng family relax their vigilance, because no ship had ever paid attention to that area of the sea before, so the Meng family thought that the ordinary salvage ship was probably disguised.
It turned out to be a camouflage, and every time the salvage ship docked for supplies, it would reveal some strange scenes about that sea area to the people on the shore. This gave the Meng family an unprecedented sense of crisis, so they came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone at that time, not only to lure the people who knew about Zo Luoju's mausoleum into the sea, but also to find out the behind the scenes of the salvage ship at the same time.
The plan of killing two birds with one stone sounds very simple, the master will take those tomb robbers to the sea, and at the same time test whether the salvage ship really knows the secrets of the seabed, and then the senior brother and I will take the salvage boat to the shore together, and then the Meng family will control everyone on the salvage ship. But what the Meng family didn't expect was that only half of the plan to kill two birds with one stone was implemented, and before the other half could be implemented, the people on the salvage boat disappeared.
Of course, the failure of this plan, the senior brother has an unshirkable responsibility, at that time, the task of the senior brother in the plan was to watch the people on the salvage ship, but he took me to the sea to find the master, which led to the mysterious disappearance of the salvage ship.
But if you think about it, you can't blame the big brother entirely. After all, the master went to the sea for him, and he lied to everyone that he was sure of surviving, and if I were a senior brother, I would definitely go to the sea to see.
"So, the Meng family still doesn't know the true background of the salvage ship?" I was surprised.
"The second appearance of the shipowner has already proved that he came prepared, as for his origin and background, how can it be found out in a sentence or two."
The second uncle's answer was obviously suspected of avoiding the serious, although he did not answer my question directly, but from his words, I could feel that the Meng family had known the identity of the shipowner. It seems that there are some things that he doesn't want me to know.
I was mentally prepared for the second uncle's concealment, and I didn't want to get all the answers from him, and I didn't think he knew everything, he may know more than me, but it was by no means all.
"It's finally over," Senior Brother Fifth walked over sweating profusely and said, "The passage has been treated, but the water consumption is much larger than we expected, and it seems that we need to keep more people here." ”
"You take them to stay, and your seventh uncle and I will go in." After the second uncle finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at me.
Although he was talking to the fifth senior brother, he looked at me and panicked me, what did he mean in his heart? I guess it's just for me to stay. It had taken me a long time to get here, and now that I finally knew how important it was, how could I not go in and find out. It's like playing a fight with the landlord, I threw it away, how could I choose to give up before the cards were played.
As soon as I was about to open my mouth to make a stand, the second uncle preemptively said: "Give me the things, you don't go in, let us do the rest of the old things, it's better for you not to participate." ”
I don't know what the second uncle asked me for, but I didn't think about it, and said directly to the second uncle: "I have to go in, maybe you won't understand how I feel now, but you must know that everything I've done in the past year is closely related to this experiment......
Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Uncle Seven: "Originally, I also wanted you to solve this matter, but now I have changed my mind, let's do the things here, what you have to do is outside, your master and Xuehong's affairs, you have already figured it out, don't be obsessed with the things here."
As soon as I tried to argue, the old prostitute screamed in surprise, startling us.
