Chapter 127: Exquisite Layout
Of course, Shao Xi can't bring a dead man back to life, but Lao Wu can!
As long as Shao Xi appeared in disguise as an envoy when spreading the news that the envoy was not dead and would be sent back to the post house, it would convince Wuriyeti that the envoy of the White Night Kingdom was really not dead.
As long as he assassinates again, Shao Xi will have a chance to capture him.
Before leaving the post house, Shao Xi instructed Long Qitai not to send Bai Jinqing and the others back to the academy first, so as to make people feel that Dali Temple was still suspicious of them. In this way, Uriyeti will have a fluke mentality and the confidence to risk another assassination.
Since this person is the opponent of the black-robed man, then he must know the identity of the black-robed man, and at least he can get clues about the identity of the black-robed man from him.
Now, the worst thing is that this second force doesn't seem to be good.
Shao Xi suddenly felt that he was facing two behemoths, and he was against these two forces at the same time, did he have the ability?
Before returning to the Frost Snow Building to find Lao Wu, Shao Xi went to Taihe Commercial Bank to inquire about the identity of the wealthy merchant in the Western Regions from the shopkeeper Cao.
From the shopkeeper Cao, he learned that the rich merchant in the Western Regions was Wuriyeti.
"Shopkeeper Cao, when did Uriyati propose to sell his house?"
"It was on the day I bought the glass beads and left Daliang City."
"Oh? He told you that he was going to sell the mansion and leave Daliang City, was it before he bought the glass beads, or after that? ”
"After buying the glass beads, he said that he was leaving the beam anyway, and he wanted to use the house to offset part of the money spent on buying the glass beads.
Shao Xi didn't ask anything more, it was useless to ask too much, Wu Riyeti would not leave too many useful clues in Taihe Commercial Bank.
On the way back to the Frost Snow Building, Shao Xi sat in the carriage and pondered what was the relationship between the two pairs of glass beads and the two people who bought the glass beads?
The first appearance of the glass beads in the hands of the envoys of the White Night Kingdom was the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the second pair of glass beads was sold on the fifth day of the first month.
Then there is no doubt that the glass beads in the hands of the envoys of the White Night Kingdom must have been obtained from the black-robed man. Thus, it can also be determined that the pair of glass beads offered by the envoys of the Eastern Mu State is the second pair of glass beads purchased by Wuriyati from the Taihe Trading House.
After Wu Riyeti bought the glass beads, he deliberately mentioned that he was going to leave the Central Plains and return to the Western Regions, but probably wanted to deliberately give people the impression that the glass beads he purchased had left the Central Plains.
As for the purpose, it should be that Xiao Changyi, the current saint, should investigate the source of the pair of glass beads in the hands of the envoys of the Dongmu State, as long as the source of the pair of beads is found, it will be thought that the person who handed over the beads to the envoys of the Dongmu State colluded with the Dongmu State, and this most suspicious person should be the black-robed man.
Now that the pair of beads that the black-robed man handed over to the envoys of the White Night Kingdom were stolen, then when Xiao Changyi found out that the black-robed man had bought a pair of glass beads in Taihe Commercial Bank, as long as the black-robed man couldn't take out the glass beads he had purchased, Xiao Changyi would think that the person who colluded with the Eastern Mu Kingdom was the black-robed man.
Why did Xiao Changyi investigate the source of the glass beads? Very simple! Yesterday, when Shao Xi was fighting with the envoys of the Eastern Mu State in the Lin De Palace, he had already said that the Yunxia glazed beads were consigned by himself to Taihe Trading House, which would arouse Xiao Changyi's suspicion of the origin of the glazed beads.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi couldn't help but fight a cold war, this opponent was really terrifying!
First of all, he asked Wuriyeti to leave the Central Plains with glass beads and come to hide from the world.
Then he handed over the glass beads to the envoys of Dongmu State to offer sacrifices, and then used Shao Xi to arouse Xiao Changyi's suspicion of the origin of the beads, so as to lead the suspicion of collusion with Dongmu to the black-robed man, this is Li Daitao stiff and killed people with a knife.
Kill the envoys of the White Night Country again, destroy the relationship between the black-robed people and the White Night Kingdom, and steal the glass beads so that the black-robed people can no longer take back the beads to prove that the glass beads they bought before were not handed over to the envoys of the Eastern Mu Kingdom, so as to confirm that the black-robed people colluded with the Eastern Mu Kingdom.
In the whole plan, the glass beads in the hands of Wu Riyeti replaced the glass beads of the black-robed man, and then controlled the glass beads of the black-robed man in his own hands, which was really a good stealing beam.
It's just two pairs of glass beads, but they have been used by people one by one to make such a complex chain game, and the means and scheming of this mysterious force are indeed too terrifying.
Although Shao Xi was not sure if his guess was correct, if this was the case, he was involved in a conspiracy.
Being able to include himself in the game shows that he has always been in the other party's sight, and his every move is controlled by the other party, and the person who lays out the layout can be said to be hand-eyed.
At the moment, just two pairs of glass beads have made such a complicated game, and I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks will happen around me in the future, can I really handle it?
In any case, this case must be investigated at the moment, and the results must be investigated, otherwise there will be no way to explain it to the Holy Lord. At the same time, taking the opportunity of investigating this case, maybe the identity of the black-robed man can be found.
As soon as he thought of the identity of the black-robed man, Shao Xi's anger did not come to one place. Lao Wu, that old guy, obviously knows everything, but he doesn't say anything even if he is killed, so he has to work hard to investigate. A problem that can be solved with a single sentence, but now it takes a lot of effort, this old guy is too tricky.
"Let's find Uriyeti first!"
As soon as he returned to the Frost and Snow Building, Shao Xi ran to the firewood room in the backyard to find Lao Wu, but saw that Lao Wu was teaching Ning'er to chop wood, and he was immediately angry.
"Old fellow, are you a little serious? Don't let Ning'er practice calligraphy, but teach her to chop wood here, do you want her to be like you in the future? ”
Lao Wu carried the firewood knife and replied with an unconvinced face: "What's wrong with teaching her to chop firewood?" Ning'er is not a daughter, isn't she learning some daily work to take care of you in the future? Do you think everyone is like you to stretch out their hands and open their mouths for food? ”
Shao Xi didn't bother to quarrel with this old guy at this time, so he pulled Ning Er over and asked her to go upstairs to the study to practice calligraphy.
Watching Ning Er return to the study, Shao Xi turned his head and teased Lao Wu: "You, the thief master, have been with me as a thief apprentice for more than ten years, and now that you have taught me the body method, shouldn't you also teach me your disguise skills?" ”
Old Wu Yangyang said proudly: "Not everyone knows this skill in the rivers and lakes, and it's not impossible for you to let me teach you, but what are you going to repay me?" ”
Shao Xi leaned to Lao Wu's side in a shy, and said with a hippie smile: "I'll give you a pension, and I will send you to the end, do you think it's okay?" ”
Lao Wu's nose almost lost his breath when he heard this, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Are you cursing me to grow old and die quickly?" You're not trying to repay me! You're trying to get revenge on me! ”
Shao Xi waved his hand indifferently and said: "The words are not rough, that's what it means, if you understand, you can say whether you teach or not!" ”
Lao Wu asked Shao Xi with an expression of "I know everything": "Did you think of me when you encountered something difficult again?" Usually hangs his son, but suddenly he is so studious and comes to offer his courtesy, do you want to ask the old man to make a move? ”
"Hey, hey! I can't hide anything from you, I really need your help, but it's true that I just said that I want to learn disguise from you. ”
Lao Wu twisted his beard and pursed his lips, "Hmph! It's not good that you've ever come to me. Go ahead! What's going on this time? ”
Shao Xi told Lao Wu about the case of the poisoning of the envoys of the White Night Kingdom.
After listening to this, Lao Wu said to Shao Xi with an unhappy face: "I have reminded you eight hundred times to be nosy, nosy, why don't you listen?" ”
"Helping Bai Jinqing clear their suspicions isn't nosy, right? Besides, I've asked you about the identity of the black-robed man 800 times, have you told me? If you don't say it, I'll have to check it myself! ”
"Young master, it's not that I won't tell you, I've told you a long time ago that it's not time. You see that you yourself have guessed that this person has a close relationship with the royal family, and now your martial arts realm and your status in the court are not enough to fight against him, even if I tell you his identity now, what can you do? On the contrary, it will have a bad effect on you in every way. Even if you have the ability to protect yourself in the future, I don't want you to take revenge, I just want you to live well. ”
Of course Shao Xi understands Lao Wu's hard work, although he knows that he is not the real descendant of the Feng family for so many years, he still regards himself as the young master of the Feng family, and tries his best to teach and take care of himself, how can Shao Xi not understand this loyalty?
"Lao Wu, of course I know that you are all for my good, but many things can't be avoided, after all, you have to face it, since you have to face it, of course I hope to know as much as possible. There are many things that you don't want to tell me now, and I don't force them, but I hope to have your help in finding out all this in my own power. ”
Lao Wu sighed and said helplessly: "Say it! How do you want to get it? I'll listen to you. I haven't seen the envoy of the White Night Kingdom, so I have to go to Dali Temple with you to have a look. ”
"In the past two days, Brother Long will follow what I said, arrange for the secret stake to release the news outside, so that that Wu Riyeti thinks that the envoy is not dead. You will disguise me in Dali Temple according to the appearance of the envoy, and then Brother Long will send me to the post house, and this person will go to the post house to assassinate me again, and then we can take the person. The only thing I don't know for sure is that I haven't met him, and I don't know what his martial arts realm is. ”
"If you don't know the details of the opponent, it's best not to bump into the opponent. Anyway, I want to arrest people, and I don't care if the means are above board, and it's not a shame to use some unexpected tricks. ”
Shao Xi's face was cunning, "I don't need your advice to do this, when I can stumble, I don't bother to waste my strength to fight with him." ”
"You'd better be careful, don't steal chickens and rice, put your own life into it, and it's too late to regret it when the time comes."
"Don't underestimate me so much, okay? Hurry up and pack up, we have been living in Dali Temple for the past two days, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”
"Well, I have to dress up myself before I go out."
"Poof......! You don't seem to have any need to save it. ”
"Cut!"
