Chapter 343: A Special Treasure
"Lao Wu, let me ask you a question, with your experience as a secret agent in the 'Jing Chengsi' for so many years and your knowledge of my father for so many years, do you think if someone knows that my father has the evidence of his rebellion in his hands, how can he ensure that he gets this evidence from my father's hands? No matter what kind of ways and means are used. ”
Lao Wu lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
"No way! But anyone who knows something about the owner of the village should know the owner of the village, the owner's loyalty to the saint even I can't understand, the owner is the kind of person who can give up everything for the sake of the saint. If the owner of the village has the evidence of someone's rebellion, no one can take it away from the hands of the owner in any way and means, only the saint, as long as the saint says a word, the owner will give everything in his hands to the saint, and no one else should think about it. ”
Shao Xi seemed to get the answer he wanted, but he still asked, "That is to say, as long as a person who knows something about my father, who is not too stupid, will know that whether it is by deception, theft, or coercion, it is impossible to get anything from my father's hands." So if you are a smart person, you will definitely not think about getting what my dad is holding in his hands, if he wants to make the things in my father's hands produce the greatest value, he can disclose this news to someone, although he can't get the most direct benefits, but he can get some indirect benefits through this news, do you think it makes sense if I think so? ”
Lao Wu didn't know what Shao Xi was thinking, but Shao Xi's idea did have some truth, since he knew that he couldn't get what he wanted from Feng Changlin's hands, then it didn't make any sense if he took action directly, so it seemed more reasonable to reveal the news to a person who also wanted to get such a thing, so as to obtain some indirect benefits.
It's like some people who sell information, they know a very important piece of information, but they will never risk it themselves, but will choose to sell it to someone who also needs it, and earn the value of the information.
Although this does not directly obtain the maximum benefits, it also does not have to take the greatest risks, and it is better to be safe.
So what is Shao Xi's purpose in asking him this question now? Is it to prove that You Yi'an is an intelligence monger?
Indeed, even if You Yi'an knew this information, he couldn't get the evidence of Xiao Yuzhi's rebellion and the nine-colored glass buckle from Feng Changlin, but he couldn't directly obtain benefits from such important information, so it was very likely that he would sell this information to Xiao Yuzhi, but it seemed that something was wrong?
If he was just a simple intelligence peddler, why would he cooperate so directly with Wandaomen? Just to get that thing from the Ruan family? Did he think that he was more sure of the Ruan family's things?
That's not right either! If he wanted to obtain such a thing himself, he would not cooperate with the Ten Thousand Daomen, but would find a way to get it himself, since cooperating with the Ten Thousand Daomen proved that he had sold this information to Xiao Yuzhi.
So why did he directly participate in the affairs of the Ruan family? This violates the principle of selling information for indirect benefits and seeking as much security as possible.
Lao Wu began to feel that Shao Xi's thinking was a little crooked, so he opened his mouth to remind: "You don't have to think about it, You Yi'an can't be an intelligence dealer, and it can be seen from his involvement in the Ruan family's incident that he is not an outsider." ”
Shao Xi shook his head and did not speak.
He knew that Lao Wu must have misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't bother to explain at this time.
It seems that when he went to Zhiqiu Pavilion today, Ruan Haoyang still had reservations when he talked to him about the things of the year, if the thing that You Yi'an and Wandaomen were looking for back then was really on him, he was so secretive, it proved that that kind of thing was very important, so important that Ruan Haoyang could tell himself about Ye Zhiqiu being abused by bandits, and he couldn't tell himself about it, if he guessed well, I'm afraid he didn't even tell Ye Zhiqiu.
He's hiding it so deeply, what the hell could that thing be? What is it that makes Wandaomen want to get it from him at all costs, and makes him desperately protect it at the cost of his life?
The only thing Shao Xi can be sure of at the moment is that Ruan Haoyang returned home not only to kill You Yi'an to avenge him, but another important purpose of his trip back was probably to get the thing hidden in Ruan's house.
Thinking about it, Shao Xi suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled a little secretly.
Lao Wu looked at Shao Xi's appearance of stealing joy when he was okay, so he didn't get angry, and said to Shao Xi angrily: "What's so fun?" Let's have fun talking about it, don't always make me guess mysteriously, I'm old, my brain is slow, and I can say what I think. ”
"Old Wu, let me ask you, what do you think it would be that thing they are frantically looking for in the Ruan family? It doesn't matter what you think, say it as long as you think of it, right or wrong. ”
This stumped Lao Wu, the old guy sat there and thought about it for a long time, nodded for a while, pouted and shook his head for a while, as if he kept confirming an answer in his heart, and turned around and denied the answer himself.
Shao Xi looked at his sad face and knew that he couldn't count on him, so he knocked on the table with his finger and said to Lao Wu: "First of all, it can be determined that the main purpose of You Yi'an and Wandaomen is definitely not to make money, then what they are looking for is nothing more than a treasure that is enough to impress them, evidence of rebellion, an important martial arts cheat, or a certain kind of divine weapon." ”
Lao Wu didn't seem to agree with Shao Xi's judgment, and while listening to Shao Xi's words, he kept shaking his head, so when Shao Xi finished speaking, he also raised his own questions.
"Judging from the situation of the Ruan family, the treasures that are enough to impress them should not exist, otherwise there is no need for the Ruan family to hide that thing, and then rely on Boss Ruan to be a carpenter to accumulate family assets little by little; As for the evidence of the rebellion, I can't think of any chance that a carpentry owner would have access to these things; If the Ruan family has any peerless martial arts secrets, there is no need for Boss Ruan to invite You Yi'an to his home to teach his son martial arts! Moreover, Boss Ruan himself has not cultivated martial arts, so this possibility is also very small; In the end, it is impossible for you to say that some kind of magic weapon is impossible, what kind of magic weapon will a carpenter have? Besides, if it was a weapon, You Yi'an would not have spent ten years in the Ruan family to fight his idea, let alone six years later, he would not have been able to find it. I think this thing should be a very small, very easy to hide, extremely difficult to be found, so far your judgment is wrong, and then think about whether there are other possibilities! ”
Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu there shaking his head and analyzing, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and waited until Lao Wu finished speaking, Shao Xi nodded slightly.
Lao Wu thought that Shao Xi agreed with his ideas very much, but he didn't want Shao Xi to have his own ideas.
"You're all right, including the last thing you said that it must be small, easy to hide, extremely difficult to be found, which is very accurate. It's just that you are wrong about one thing, this thing is likely to be an unprecedented magic weapon, and it may even affect the general trend of the world. ”
Lao Wu was stunned when he heard it! How could a very small thing, so small that no one else could find it when it was hidden, could it be a divine weapon? How can it affect the general trend of the world? Is it a magic needle?
Lao Wu thought about it again according to what Shao Xi just said, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel right, how could there be such a thing in the world?
"I really can't think of what this thing you are talking about, I have been wandering around the rivers and lakes for so many years and I have never seen this kind of thing in your mouth. If it is a divine weapon, the rainstorm pear flower needle of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong can indeed be regarded as a divine weapon, but it also needs a launching device, and the size of the device is not small, how can it not be found? If it's just a needle, it's not a magic weapon at all! Besides, even if it is a rainstorm pear flower needle, it has not reached the point where it is enough to affect the general trend of the world. ”
Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu and smiled, and asked a question that seemed meaningless to Lao Wu.
"Since you have investigated the Ruan family at the beginning, then you must know that Boss Ruan is a carpenter, and he is highly skilled, and he especially likes to study some strange skills and tricks on weekdays, is that true?"
"That's right! That's true, but he's always been a carpenter, and what magic weapon will a carpenter have in his hand? In addition to axes, hammers, saws, chisels, and ink fountains, these things are impossible to affect the general trend of the world, and even divine weapons are not counted! I don't think it's possible for you to say anything, it's because he's a carpenter, so those things have nothing to do with him, and now you say that the Ruan family has hidden a magic weapon, I really can't think of what it will be. Even if he likes to study some strange tricks and make some unusual novelties out of his daily life, at most some furniture, farm tools or some gadgets for entertainment, what do these things have to do with divine weapons? I think let's think again! ”
Shao Xi didn't refute Lao Wu, but instead asked Lao Wu again: "You just mentioned to me the rainstorm pear flower needle of the Tangmen in Shuzhong, that thing must be difficult to make, right?" What kind of parts are needed? How are the parts processed? How do you assemble the parts after you have them? What's the structure like inside? How did they make it with unmistakable accuracy? ”
"Isn't that all nonsense? Of course, it is made according to the pattern...... Wait a minute! You mean that thing is ......? ”
"Yes!"
