Of course Shao Xi can't bring a dead person back to life, but Old Wu can!
As long as Shao Xi appears disguised as an envoy when spreading the news that the envoy is not dead and will be sent back to the inn, Wu Riyeti will believe that the envoy of Baiye Kingdom is 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 asked Long Qitai not to send Bai Jinqing and others back to the academy first, so as to make people feel that Dali Temple still doubts them. Only in this way can Wuriyeti feel lucky and have the confidence to risk another assassination.
Since this person is the enemy of the man in black robe, he must know the identity of the man in black robe, and at least he can get clues to the identity of the man in black robe from him.
What's terrible now is that this second force doesn't seem to be a good person either.
Shao Xi suddenly felt that he was facing two behemoths, fighting against these two forces at the same time. Did he have the ability?
Before returning to Shuangxue Tower to find Lao Wu, Shao Xi went to Taihe Trading Company to ask Shopkeeper Cao about the identity of the wealthy businessman from the Western Regions.
I learned from Shopkeeper Cao that the wealthy businessman from the Western Regions was Wu Riyeti.
"Shopkeeper Cao, when did Wuriyeti propose to sell his house?"
"That was the day I bought the glass beads and left Daliang City."
"Oh? He told you that he wanted to sell the house and leave Daliang City. Was it before he bought the glass bead, or after that?"
"After purchasing the glass bead, he said that he was leaving Daliang anyway and wanted to use his house to offset part of the money spent on buying the glass bead. The villain thought that you were about to purchase property, so he agreed. "
Shao Xi didn't ask any more questions. It would be useless to ask too many questions. Wuriyeti would not leave too many useful clues in Taihe Trading Company.
On the way back to Shuangxue Tower, Shao Xi sat in the carriage and thought about the relationship between the two pairs of colored glass beads and the two people who bought the colored glass beads.
The glass beads in the hands of the White Night Kingdom envoy first appeared on the day before New Year's Eve at the latest, and the second pair of glass beads were sold on the fifth day of the lunar month.
Then there is no doubt that the glass beads in the hands of the White Night Kingdom envoy must have been obtained from the man in black robe. Therefore, it can also be determined that the pair of colored glass beads presented by the envoy of Dongmu State was the second pair of colored glass beads purchased by Wuriyeti from Taihe Trading Company.
After Wuriyati bought the colored glaze beads, he specifically mentioned that he was leaving the Central Plains and returning to the Western Regions. This was not just a casual comment. It was most likely that he wanted to deliberately create the impression that the colored glaze beads he purchased had left the Central Plains.
As for the purpose, it should be to let the current sage Xiao Changyi investigate the origin of the pair of glazed beads in the hands of the Dongmu envoy. As long as the source of the pair of beads is found, the person who handed the beads to the Dongmu envoy will be considered to be the same as Dongmu. There is collusion between Mu Guo, and the most suspicious person should be the man in black robe.
Now that the pair of beads that the man in black robe gave to the envoy of Baiye Kingdom are stolen, then when Xiao Changyi finds out that the man in black robe bought a pair of glass beads at Taihe Trading Company, as long as the man in black robe cannot take out the glass beads he originally bought. Pearl, Xiao Changyi would think that the person who colluded with Dongmu Kingdom was the man in black robe.
Why did Xiao Changyi investigate the origin of the glass beads? Very simple! Yesterday, when Shao Xi was fighting with the Dongmu envoy at the Linde Palace, he had said that the Yunxia Glazed Beads were consigned to Taihe Trading Company, which aroused Xiao Changyi's suspicion about the origin of the glazed beads.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi couldn't help but shudder. This opponent is so terrifying!
First, Wu Riyeti was asked to leave the Central Plains under the false pretense that he was carrying glass beads, and he came to hide the truth.
Then the glass beads were handed over to the envoys of the Dongmu Kingdom to be presented to the saints, and then Shao Xi was used to arouse Xiao Changyi's suspicion about the origin of the beads, thus leading the suspicion of colluding with Dongmu to the black-robed man. This was Li Daitao's murder with a borrowed knife.
Then he killed the envoy of the White Night Kingdom, destroyed the relationship between the black-robed man and the White Night Kingdom, and stole the glass beads so that the black-robed man could no longer take the beads back to prove that the glass beads he had bought before were not given to the envoy of the Dongmu Kingdom. This proves that the men in black robes colluded with Dongmu State, and a fire was drawn from the bottom of the cauldron.
In the whole plan, the glass beads in Wu Riyeti's hand were used to replace the glass beads of the black-robed man, and then the black-robed man's glass beads were controlled in his own hands. It was really a trick.
It was just two pairs of glazed beads, but they were used one by one to create such a complicated chain. The methods and scheming of this mysterious force were indeed terrifying.
Although Shao Xi is not sure whether his guess is correct, if it is true, he is involved in a conspiracy.
Being able to include yourself in the game means that you are always within the opponent's sight, and every move you make is controlled by the opponent. The person who makes the plan can be said to have great hands and eyes.
Now, just two pairs of glass beads have created such a complicated situation. I don't know how many conspiracies and conspiracies will happen around me in the future. Can I really cope with it?
No matter what, this case must be investigated and the results must be found, otherwise there is no way to explain it to the Holy Father. At the same time, by taking advantage of the opportunity of investigating the case, the identity of the man in black robe may also be found out.
Shao Xi became angry when he thought of the identity of the man in black robe. That old guy, Lao Wu, obviously knew everything, but he didn't say anything even if he was beaten to death, which made him bother to investigate. A problem that could be solved with just one sentence now requires a lot of effort. This old guy is so deceptive.
"Let's find my Riyeti first!"
As soon as he returned to Shuangxue Tower, Shao Xi ran to the woodshed in the backyard to find Old Wu. He saw that Old Wu was teaching Ning'er to chop firewood, and he suddenly became very angry.
"Old guy, are you serious? You don't let Ning'er practice calligraphy, but you teach her to chop firewood here. Do you want her to be like you in the future?"
Lao Wu was holding a hatchet and replied with an unconvinced look on his face: "What's wrong with teaching her to chop wood? Ning'er is not a wealthy lady. Isn't learning some daily chores just to take care of you in the future? Do you think everyone is like you? Can you stretch out your hands with clothes and open your mouth with food?"
Shao Xi didn't bother to argue with the old guy at the moment, so he pulled Ning'er over and asked her to practice calligraphy in the study room upstairs.
Watching Ning'er return to the study, Shao Xi turned to Lao Wu and teased: "You, a thief master, have been taking me, a thief apprentice, for more than ten years. Now that you have taught me all the body skills, shouldn't you also teach me your thief disciples?" Did you also teach me how to disguise myself?"
Old Wu said proudly: "Not everyone in the world knows this skill. It's not impossible if you want me to teach you, but what are you going to do in return for me?"
Shao Xi came to Lao Wu's side and said with a playful smile: "I will support you in your old age, and I will also give you a deathbed. Do you think that's okay?"
When Lao Wu heard this, his nose almost turned out of breath, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Are you cursing me to grow old and die quickly? You are not trying to repay me! You are trying to take revenge on me!"
Shao Xi waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "It's just a matter of whether it's rough or not. As long as you understand, it's up to you whether you want to teach or not!"
Lao Wu asked Shao Xi with an expression of "I know everything": "Did you encounter some difficulty again before you thought of me? You usually do nothing, but suddenly you are so studious and come here to show your courtesy. Do you want to invite the old man to me again? Take action?"
"Hehe! I can't hide anything from you. I really need your help, but it's true that I just said I want to learn disguise from you."
Old Wu twirled his beard and curled his lips, "Huh! You have never done anything good when you come to me. Tell me! What's the matter this time?"
Shao Xi told Lao Wu the story of the poisoning of the Baiye Kingdom envoy.
After hearing this, Lao Wu said to Shao Xi with an unhappy look on his face: "I've reminded you eight hundred times to mind your own business, mind your own business, why don't you listen?"
"Isn't helping Bai Jinqing and the others clear their suspicions as nosy? Besides, I've asked you about the identity of the man in black 800 times. Have you told me? If you don't tell me, I have no choice but to check it out myself!"
"Master, it's not that I don't want to tell you. I told you a long time ago that it's not the right time. Look, you have also guessed that this person is closely related to the royal family. Now your martial arts level and your status in the court are still high. It's not enough to fight him. Even if I tell you his identity now, what can you do? On the contrary, it will have a negative impact on you in all aspects. Even if you have the ability to protect yourself in the future, I don't want you to take revenge. , I just hope you can live well."
Of course, Shao Xi understands Lao Wu's painstaking efforts. Even though he knew that he was not a true descendant of the Feng family for so many years, he still regarded himself as the young master of the Feng family and tried his best to teach and take care of himself. What about Shao Xi's loyalty? Don’t you understand?
"Old Wu, of course I know you are doing it for my own good, but there are many things that cannot be avoided. They have to be faced after all. Since we have to face them, of course I hope to know as much as possible. There are many things you You don’t want to tell me now, and I won’t force it, but I hope to get your help when I try to find out all this on my own.”
Old Wu sighed and said helplessly: "Tell me! What do you want to do? I will listen to your arrangement. I have never seen the envoy of Baiye Kingdom. I must go to Dali Temple with you to see it."
"Brother Long will do what I said in the next two days and arrange for hidden posts to spread the news outside, so that Wu Riyeti thinks the envoy is not dead yet. You can disguise me as the envoy in Dali Temple, and then let Long Brother, they sent me to the post house. This person will definitely come to the post house to assassinate me again, and then we can start to arrest him. The only thing I am not sure about is that I have never seen him, so I don’t know what his martial arts level is."
"It's best not to confront your opponent head-on when you don't know the details of the other party. The purpose is to arrest people anyway, and it doesn't matter whether the method is aboveboard or not. It's not shameful to use some unexpected tricks."
Shao Xi had a sly look on his face, "You don't need to tell me this. I won't bother to waste my energy fighting him when I can stumble him."
"You'd better be careful yourself, don't risk your own life by stealing the chicken and losing the rice. It will be too late to regret by then."
"Can you please stop looking down on me so much? Pack up quickly. We will stay at Dali Temple these two days to avoid arousing suspicion."
"Well, I have to dress up before going out."
"Pfft...! You look like there's no need to save you."
"cut!"
