Chapter 344: Is It Really Him?
Drawings are placed in modern society, and the drawings of advanced equipment are also extremely important information.
It seems that Nguyen Haoyang's father must have developed some new equipment during his lifetime, and this equipment may have a great effect on some aspects of a country.
According to Shao Xi's analysis, it will never be furniture, farm tools or some entertainment gadgets, the most likely is military use, a carpenter may not make any advanced weapons, but he can make equipment and tools that can play a key role on the battlefield, just like Lu Ban invented the ladder back then.
Although Shao Xi couldn't be sure what this equipment was? But judging from the pursuit and killing of Ruan Haoyang by the Ten Thousand Daomen and the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, this thing is obviously extremely important to some people, if it is just a simple weapon, their idea should be to hit the Tang Sect, because the Tang Sect's long-range secret weapons are famous all over the world.
Now holding on to a carpenter's son, the drawings of this equipment must have been something that could have had a great impact, and it could only be some kind of equipment or equipment used in a large-scale war, like a ladder.
If it is a thing with great influence, why must it be needed for war? Wouldn't it be a tool for farming, manufacturing, or navigation?
Shao Xi's answer is no, think about it, and know that Jianghu sects and organizations like Wandaomen and Ghost Emperor Mansion will send many masters to hunt down a young man for several years for a farm tool drawing? Could it be that these people used so many resources just to get a drawing of a production tool? How is this possible?
As people who have been plotting rebellion for many years with the intention of usurping power, they must want something that will help propel them to the throne, and this kind of thing can only be used in war.
That's why Shao Xi just said to Lao Wu that they were looking for a divine weapon.
In other words, if you get this blueprint and make it according to the drawing, you can have a piece of equipment that will help change the pattern of power in the world.
Since Boss Ruan was obsessed with strange tricks and tricks, researching and creating some novel objects, then this thing must have been unprecedented, and Boss Ruan hid it because he realized that the appearance of this thing may change the pattern of future wars to some extent, causing more people to die in wars.
This is a bit like the recipe for the black powder that Shao Xi made at the beginning, in order to prevent someone from using it on a large scale in the future for war, so Shao Xi chose to keep the formula secret and no longer make it public.
Thinking that Ruan Haoyang's father should have had such an idea back then, he chose to hide the drawings, and You Yi'an has been looking for this drawing in the Ruan family for many years.
If this is the case, then everything that happened to the Ruan family will be explained.
When Shao Xi told Lao Wu his thoughts, Lao Wu also felt that Shao Xi's analysis was very reasonable, something that was easy to hide and could attract so much attention from You Yi'an and others should be the drawings for making a certain utensil, so it is no wonder that You Yi'an has not been able to obtain it in the Ruan family for so many years.
You Yi'an doesn't know carpenter, even if Ruan Haoyang's father threw this drawing on the table, You Yi'an may not be able to understand it, not to mention that it was deliberately hidden.
It's just that Shao Xi is curious, what kind of drawing is that?
Shao Xi searched in his mind for the historical knowledge he knew, wondering if there would be something that matched his thoughts, such as a wooden ox and a flowing horse, a Zhuge crossbow, or something similar to a trebuchet, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem right.
These things can indeed play an important role on the battlefield, but they cannot change the mode of war, and a thing that only plays a relatively important role on the battlefield, no matter how important it is, will not make them spend so much effort.
Therefore, what is recorded on the drawing must be something of subversive significance, just like the black powder prepared by oneself, something that will change the mode of war once used in war, and something that will kill more people.
So what could it be? Could it be that Boss Ruan also invented gunpowder? Probably shouldn't! How could a carpenter invent gunpowder if he didn't usually touch saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal?
can only consider what is on that drawing from the carpenter's point of view, but Shao Xi thought about it again and again, but still didn't come up with it.
Later, I simply didn't want to, since I guessed that the drawing was very likely to be on Ruan Haoyang, why not verify it myself when I went to Zhiqiu Pavilion a few days ago? There's really no point in trying to break your head here.
So Shao Xi told Lao Wu about his plans, and Lao Wu was also interested, and Zhang Luo must go to Zhiqiu Pavilion with Shao Xi tomorrow.
Shao Xi pondered that this old guy was so ugly, he wouldn't scare Miss Ye Zhiqiu when he arrived at Zhiqiu Pavilion, right? Besides, if you take him with you, then you have to take Wuqiu'er with you, it's not good to throw him alone in the inn again, the appearance of these two guys has reached Zhiqiu Pavilion, isn't it eye-opening?
But Lao Wu insisted on going with Shao Xi on the grounds that he wanted to know more about You Yi'an's actions in the Ruan family back then, and to see if he could find some clues about the events of the year.
Especially that big fat man!
The matter has been agreed, then just wait for the three of them to go by boat early tomorrow morning, Shao Xi instructed Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er to rest early tonight, and take a boat to Zhiqiu Pavilion together tomorrow morning.
After nightfall, Shao Xi did not practice as usual, but lay on the bed and went through all the things analyzed with Lao Wu today from beginning to end in his heart.
Back then, someone sent You Yi'an to infiltrate the "Jing Cheng Division", just to get some internal information from the "Jing Cheng Division", during which You Yi An was sent to Ruan's house to wait for the opportunity to obtain the drawing, and after a full ten years, You Yi An failed to get it.
Shao Xi guessed that the main reason why You Yi'an revealed the news of Fengjiazhuang to the person behind him should be that he was ineffective in the ten years of the Ruan family and was reprimanded by his master, so he wanted to atone the credit and borrow the news of Fengjiazhuang to exchange some credit for himself.
At the same time, it may be because it took ten years to fail to find the drawing, and the people behind it also lost patience, so the Ruan family and Fengjiazhuang happened successively.
In the process of these two things, it happened that the young masters of both families escaped, but their young masters were too young at the time and were taken to the northern grasslands by Lao Wu, and Ruan Haoyang, the young master, was fifteen years old when he fled, and in the past six years, due to some chance, his martial arts have risen sharply.
So four years ago, Ruan Haoyang returned to the Ruan family again to kill You Yi'an, and at the same time took away the blueprint hidden in the Ruan family, and the person behind You Yi'an After learning about this, he not only used the Ten Thousand Daomen of the year, but also invited the Ghost Emperor's Mansion to join, just to get the drawings in Ruan Haoyang's hands.
This is similar to sending Wandaomen to the grassland to hunt down himself and Lao Wu back then, but back then, because he was not sure whether the thing was on him, he only sent Wandaomen, and now he should be very sure that the thing is on Ruan Haoyang, so the Ghost Emperor's Mansion joined.
Now from the perspective of relationship, Wandaomen and the old eunuch Gao Cai should be in a cooperative relationship, and Gao Cai cooperated with Xiao Yuzhi to do the Fengjiazhuang thing, and at the same time, You Yi'an also cooperated with Wandaomen, so on the surface, the person behind You Yi'an should be Xiao Yuzhi.
However, Shao Xi had asked Lao Wu before, but anyone who knows anything about Feng Changlin understands that he can't get anything he wants from Feng Changlin, so why did Xiao Yuzhi go directly to Fengjiazhuang? If he was a smart man, he should know that even if he killed all the people in Fengjiazhuang, he would not be able to get what he wanted.
In other words, he wasn't smart enough to think of it.
But if this is the case, why is the method taken against the Ruan family different from that of the Feng family? The Ruan family spent ten years patiently looking for that drawing, and even if the Ruan family was destroyed in the end, it was not burned down like the Feng family.
The reason why he didn't set the fire was very simple, it was to arrange for You Yi'an to continue looking for that drawing in the Ruan family, but why did he burn the Feng family?
It is true that it cannot be ruled out that he wants to destroy his incriminating evidence with this, but doesn't he want the nine-colored glass buckle? Or maybe he thinks that a fire will burn the evidence of his crimes, even if he burns the nine-colored glass buckle, at least others can't get it, but does he really think so?
The nine-colored glass buckle is not an ordinary thing, it is the inheritance token of the emperors of the past dynasties, and at the same time it contains the two peerless martial arts of Kyushu vitality and dragon jue, for a drawing he can wait for another six years, why can't he wait for another six years for the nine-color glass buckle?
Two things of the same nature, compared to the nine-colored glass buckle is far more important than that drawing, why did he take two different means? Is Xiao Yuzhi really the person behind it?
Shao Xi felt that it was not necessary, although he had not really found the truth of the matter yet, he felt that he seemed to have touched something.
When Shao Xi was lying on the bed and pondering these things over and over again, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a bright light flickering outside the window, which felt like a lantern hanging outside the window was constantly shaking by the wind, and the light of the lantern flickered into the room through the window.
Shao Xi felt a little strange, it is said that the lights of each household have already been turned off at this hour, who will light the lanterns outside at this time?
Besides, I live in a guest room on the second floor of the inn, and if it is a lantern, I have to use a long pole to pick up the lantern to make myself feel so bright in the room.
Curiosity drove Shao Xi to get up from the bed and look out the window, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, Shao Xi's heart was suddenly shocked at a glance......
