Chapter 347: Striking the grass and startling the snake, sowing discord
"I'll go back, be careful yourself, don't mess around."
Outside the Third Princess's Mansion, Chu Xiangyun admonished.
Lin Bai blinked and said, "As long as no one robs my wife, I will definitely be very honest." ”
Chu Xiangyunqiao's face flushed, glared at Lin Bai, and then got into the carriage, looking through the window, looking at the distant back, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.
Get!
It's time for my brother to go back.
The talented man was in a good mood and soon returned to the station.
"Lord Lin, thank you for saving us."
The two merchants from the Western Regions, one named Michael and the other named McLew, said that they were from the same place as Mark, because of Lin Bai's generosity, they had heard what Mark had said, and they had specially understood it.
And the news that the delegation from the dynasty had come to the Wu Dynasty had already spread, so they were able to recognize Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was stunned, and then said: "I won't repeat the question of the third princess, you really don't know anything?" ”
Michael said: "My lord, we really don't know, we didn't come to the Martial Dynasty ten years ago, and besides, there are not many people who understand the Thousand Souls Guide even in our hometown, because it is difficult to ...... deployed."
According to the two of them, Thousand Souls is a spice.
It is not easy to mix it into a poison, because once it is not blended properly, the smell will change and it is easy to detect. 33
Lin Bai asked a few words, all of which were useless information, but he didn't let the two of them leave, let them leave at this time, maybe they would be caught on the back foot.
It might be useful to keep it for now.
The two are not stupid and know the danger outside.
Ji Xiaofeng frowned and said, "It seems that the merchants of the Western Regions don't have much hope here. ”
Too long, based on his previous experience, it is unlikely that he will find evidence.
Lin Bai smiled, "That's not necessarily, you said, they can know Mark so coincidentally, and thus know me, so is it possible, they also know the merchants of the Western Regions who sold a thousand souls back then?" ”
Ji Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, "But they just said that they don't know each other." ”
Lin Bai asked rhetorically: "Who knows?" ”
"The official said that if they know each other, they must know each other."
"Go! Inform Gu Qianmad and ask him to send someone to spread the news, saying that among the merchants in the Western Regions captured by the third princess, some people knew the seller who sold the Thousand Souls Guide back then, and said that the third princess was already contacting each other through these merchants in the Western Regions. ”
The Wu Dynasty must not be able to investigate, but it may not be possible to start with the merchants of the Western Regions.
Ji Xiaofeng's eyes lit up slightly, "Adults want to startle the snake?" ”
"Not bad!"
Lin Bai said, "After the news spread, let Gu Qianmad send people to stare at the Cui family's people to see which snake was alarmed, that may be our breakthrough." ”
"Our own spies are also watching, remember to be careful."
"Yes!"
Ji Xiaofeng quickly retreated.
The news spread quickly, and Cui Wenhua received the news as soon as possible, and his face became extremely gloomy.
Beside him, Cui Wenyong said, "Big brother, how can it be so coincidental?" Could it be a rumor? ”
Cui Wenhua shook his head, "It's hard to say, the merchants of the Western Regions who come to the Wu Dynasty will exchange experiences with each other, support each other, and sometimes form caravans, and it is normal to know each other." ”
Cui Wenyong said: "What should I do then?" ”
Cui Wenhua paused and asked, "Who else knows about this?" ”
Cui Wenyong said: "It's gone! The palace has long been cleaned up, except for you and me, there is only Uncle Nian, he was in charge of the spice shop back then, and he is the only one who knows how to mix these. ”
While the two were talking, an old man walked in, it was the housekeeper Cui Nian.
"Master, third master, there is news outside......"
How fast did it spread?
Cui Wenhua's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Uncle Nian, did that Western Regions merchant know you back then?" ”
Cui Nian said: "Don't worry, master, I deliberately disguised myself back then, and Mo said that it has been ten years, even if he didn't recognize the old slave back then." ”
Cui Wenhua nodded, "Then there is nothing to worry about, continue to do your own thing, and it will be nothing." ”
"Yes! Master! ”
Cui Nian retreated.
Cui Wenyong's eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, "Big brother, just in case, isn't it ......?"
Cui Wenhua shook his head and said: "No, at this juncture, once something happens, fools will suspect it, Uncle Nian has always been cautious in doing things, since he said it's okay, then it's definitely okay." ”
"What's more, he is your and my uncle, and he will definitely be fine."
Cui Wenyong was obviously still a little worried, but when Cui Wenhua spoke, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Don't think too much, the merchants of the Western Regions haven't been to the Wu Dynasty for ten years, even if someone knows him, there is no way to look for him, don't mess with yourself."
"Big brother has a point."
Cui Wenyong didn't say anything more, and then retreated.
However, he was still not at ease, thought about it, and gave a few words to the entourage around him.
On the other hand, after Cui Nian was busy with the things at hand, he went back as usual, although he was the housekeeper of Cui Mansion, he also had his own home, his own wife and children.
Along the way, he always felt that something was wrong, and he felt like he was being watched.
But he didn't pay much attention to it.
came to a corner where no one was around, and suddenly, two masked figures jumped out, holding a knife, and cut it without saying a word.
Cui Nian's face changed in fright, "You...... Who are you? ”
The two of them didn't pay attention to it, and the bright knife cut through Cui Nian's arm, and blood gushed out instantly.
Cui Nian fled in a hurry.
At this time, Cui Wenyong's two entourages had also arrived, and the two were ordered to monitor Cui Nian, and if they found something wrong, they would solve it on the spot.
And the masked man before had already spoken, "Idiot! I don't bring a face towel, so the third master will explain it to you? It's an old guy, but there's nothing wrong with being careful. ”
The two were obviously a little confused, and subconsciously put on a face towel.
They weren't sure who the other person was, but they listened to the tone of their own.
Or was it sent by the head of the house?
Cui Nian's face was already pale, he was not stupid, he naturally knew why these people wanted to kill him, this was a desperate disaster.
"Uncle Nian, I'm sorry!"
The two masked men killed them directly, and the two later ones also forced them up in a daze.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the alley, "You guys get out of the way, don't hurt my father." ”
It was a man with a hooded head and a brain, burly and with a wooden stick in his hand, and rushed up directly.
"Xiong'er, why are you here?"
"Daddy! I heard that the family is going to kill you. ”
The burly man glared at the four of them angrily, "Go back and tell the master of the family, if you want my father's life, there is no way, my father has his handle in his hand, and the big deal is that the fish dies and the net is broken." ”
What?
Hearing this, the four masked men had even stronger killing intent and killed them in an instant.
But at this moment, several figures rushed out of the alley again, blocking the four of them, and the burly man took the opportunity to carry his father and escaped.
After a few moments, the alley was back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
In the distance, Yi Xueyun looked at this side and muttered in his mouth: "First hit the grass and scare the snake, and then make another move to sow discord, a good Lin Qingfeng, the Cui family was really torn apart." ”
……
Some people died, but not completely......
