"I asked you, what on earth are you thinking about? You made a promise at the Prime Minister's Mansion that you would find evidence that the general was collaborating with the enemy. Now you are going to visit the general's house. Is it possible that you Do you really plan to go into someone’s home and rummage through the cabinets to find the so-called evidence?”
Shao Xi smiled evilly and said to Lao Wu: "Didn't you ask me just now who is the scariest person? In this case, why should I help the scariest person? Since I have no intention of helping him, it is more important whether I can find evidence or not. ? Even if I put the so-called evidence in front of him, this evidence must be the evidence I want to show him. Of course I didn't go to the general's mansion to rummage through the cabinets. I plan to cooperate with the general to get rid of the one you said is the most terrifying. We need to get rid of the old fox, but we can’t be impatient, we must take the long term to catch the big fish.”
Lao Wu was dumbfounded by Shao Xi's comment. He thought to himself that this little bastard was too arrogant. Isn't this a typical example of selling someone and asking someone to count the money for him?
In the name of cooperating with Han Zeng, he blatantly interacted with Fu Zuoliang. On the surface, it seemed that he was helping Han Zeng collect evidence of Fu Zuoliang's crime, but in fact, he was working with Fu Zuoliang to find a way to deal with Han Zeng. Although it sounds a bit convoluted, that’s what it is.
At this time, Lao Wu secretly scolded Shao Xi for being a shameless person. This game was too fancy!
"You brat, let me ask you, why do you think that Han Zeng must be a greater threat to our Jingyuan Empire? Do you know that General Fu Zuoliang is a young soldier who is good at fighting? If he really fights He is the biggest threat to our Jingyuan Empire when we go to war. And Han Zeng is just a civil servant and does not pose a direct threat to the southern border of our Jingyuan Empire! Why are you targeting him instead?"
Shao Xi said teasingly: "You asked me just now, which one is more terrifying, a person standing in front of me with a knife or a person standing behind me with a knife? Compared with these two people, Fu Zuoliang is The man standing in front of us with a knife, we all know what he is going to do and how big a threat he is, but Han Zeng is the man standing behind us with a knife. He looks harmless, but in fact he is full of tricks. . Although he cannot lead troops to invade the southern border of our Jingyuan Kingdom, who can guarantee that he has no other way to deal with us?"
Old Wu was silenced by Shao Xi's words. He had to admit that Shao Xi was right.
An opponent who is on the outside, you know what cards he will play, and you also know how to deal with him. But if you don't know the details of an opponent and don't know what he is going to do, you naturally don't know how to deal with him.
This kind of opponent that fills people's hearts with uncertainty and doesn't know how to guard against is the most terrifying. Therefore, since we don't know how to be wary of him, we might as well get rid of him in advance and let this uncertain factor disappear completely.
As for whether there will be an error in judgment, it actually doesn't matter at all to Shao Xi. Even if there is a mistake, the person who died is not the Prime Minister of Jing Yuan Kingdom, so he is dead! Does it have anything to do with you?
What's more, Shao Xi has no plans to eliminate him immediately. As he said before, he wants to take a long-term view to catch the big fish.
It is more effective to get real information from the other party than to give false information to confuse the other party. This is a method Shao Xi has used very early, and it is always the most effective.
The struggle in the court must not be too real, otherwise you will not know how you died. Everything is covered up under the illusion. Instead of trying to find out the illusion created by others and avoid the trap, it is better to join in and create the trap. More illusions let others step into the trap first.
Since you can't sort out a messy ball of thread, make it even more messy and make it difficult for everyone to sort it out. At this time, it depends on who has the better ability to adapt to changes and who will survive.
Shao Xi knew that he was not the kind of person who had the ability to sort out a ball of thread, but he was sure that he was a person who could make the ball of thread more messy, and his ability to make trouble was particularly strong.
As the saying goes, you can beat the old master to death with random punches. When fighting with these old foxes, you can't follow the rules or follow any rules. When the opponent doesn't know how you are going to attack, you have more chances to hit the opponent.
"Have you, the boy, already thought about doing this when you were in Nanshui County? You asked Tao Qingyun so many things about Nan Zhao, and you got the red tiger-biting silver knife from him. Did you have this plan from the beginning?"
Shao Xi shook his head, "No, if you have such a plan from that time, you really think too highly of me. My idea at the time was really to help the little emperor of Southern Zhao get rid of Fu Zuoliang. So that the diplomatic relations between the two countries can proceed smoothly. But since the attack in the Jiakou Valley, I found that many things are much more complicated than we thought. Although it is not clear at the moment, it doesn't matter, since If things are complicated by the other party, we can make it more complicated so that the other party doesn’t know what we are going to do.”
Old Wu was confused by Shao Xi. Why did he talk about the attack in Jiakou Valley? What's so complicated about that?
"I don't quite understand. Wasn't the attack in Jiakou Valley the result of someone sent by Fu Zuoliang? Aren't the few people captured alive all witnesses? How complicated can it be?"
Shao Xi smiled, because he finally figured out one thing, and after he figured it out, he felt like he had discovered a new world, and discovered the biggest flaw in this matter.
"I didn't see any flaws in the few people I captured alive. The biggest flaw was the man in black who fought with me, the man with the sword."
Lao Wu was immediately intrigued by Shao Xi. He didn't know what this kid had discovered in his sneaky way that he hadn't noticed.
"Don't be pretentious, old man. I'm old and my brain is slow. If you find something, just say it directly. Don't be wordy!"
Shao Xi glared at Lao Wu with disdain and said to himself: "Your brain is running slowly? Your brain is spinning so fast that it's almost smoking! How can you have the nerve to say that?"
"I felt very awkward from the first strike of the man in black. I didn't react at the time, so I couldn't tell what was awkward about it. But on the way to Yongchuan City, I thought about the attack that night over and over again. , finally made me figure it out, this guy is holding a sword, but the available skills and moves are sword skills. I said why his sword energy looks so different, think about it carefully, he just uses the sword He swung his sword, that's why the sword energy was so fierce and domineering, and his sword-swinging moves also revealed a lot of his habit of using swords. I remember at the time I said that his method of hiding his skills was not clever. Now that I think about it I was wrong, he is the most brilliant one."
Old Wu was confused again by Shao Xi.
"Is this so clever? You've seen it all, how clever is it?"
Shao Xi touched his chin and raised his eyebrows at Lao Wu with an expression of "You are so innocent."
"He is so clever that he let me see it. What does this mean? It means that he deliberately let me see it. If a person who uses a knife wants to hide his martial arts, in addition to changing weapons, he will definitely think of changing weapons. You can no longer use sword skills, otherwise flaws will be exposed, and this person revealed traces of sword skills when using the sword. He is either too stupid, or too smart. Anyone who can be sent out to assassinate must not be stupid, so he must be intentional He showed me the traces of his sword skills and deliberately made me think that he was originally a sword user who just changed his weapons to hide his martial arts skills. What was his purpose? His purpose must be to draw my attention. Leading to the man with the sword, who himself should have been using the sword."
Old Wu was dumbfounded. How could he explain the co-authorship in this way?
But what Shao Xi said makes sense. If a person who uses a sword wants to hide his martial arts, how could he be so stupid as to continue using sword skills with a sword in his hand? It is indeed very suspicious for him to do this, and it can be completely understood that he deliberately let the other party find out.
"So what did you think of through this? Come on, don't make me guess!"
Shao Xi originally wanted to say "Guess!" but Old Wu choked him back and smiled awkwardly.
"This is a detail, a detail of reverse operation. Use the sword in your hand to use the sword technique to draw our attention to the person using the sword. If I guess correctly, the commander of the two flag guards under Fu Zuoliang They should have used swords, and the commanders of the two banner guards under Han Zeng must have used swords. When all the evidence points to Fu Zuoliang, people will naturally think that the men in black that night were the two men under him. One of the flag guard commanders, and the weapon used was a sword, so he wanted to create the illusion that Fu Zuoliang planned to frame the assassination on Han Zeng."
"so……?"
"So the assassin that night was not sent by Fu Zuoliang. The real mastermind behind the scenes was Han Zeng."
This answer almost made Old Wu's jaw drop to the table. It seemed like a very simple thing, but he didn't expect it to be so convoluted, but he had to admit that Shao Xi's analysis made sense.
"It would make sense to say that the attack on the mission was done by Fu Zuoliang, because he has always been strongly opposed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The reason is also very simple. Only when relations with the Jingyuan Empire in the north are tense can he steadily Seize the military power and continue to control the government of Southern Zhao. But what is Han Zeng’s reason for doing this? Hasn’t he always actively advocated the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries? Why would he send people out to attack the mission again? "
"There should be two reasons. The first reason is very simple. He just wants to frame Fu Zuoliang, so as to sow discord between the little emperor and Fu Zuoliang, and let the little emperor cooperate with him to get rid of Fu Zuoliang as soon as possible; the second reason is that Han Zeng In fact, it is very likely that he colluded with some people within the Jingyuan Dynasty, who did not want to achieve the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, so that he could cooperate with that person in the Jingyuan Dynasty to create turmoil in the southern border in the future; there is another point to add, even if he framed Fu Zuoliang, he did not Success, the little emperor did not remove Fu Zuoliang, so due to the attack on the mission causing tension between the two countries, Fu Zuoliang's continued control of military power and control of the government would also pose a great threat to the little emperor, so that the little emperor had to rely more on He made the power in his hands more stable and allowed him to better control the little emperor." 33
After hearing what Shao Xi said, Old Wu couldn't help but said with emotion: "Oh! It's really not easy for this little emperor. Why are there so many people around him?"
Shao Xi pouted at Old Wu and said teasingly: "Do you think he is the only one with such people around him? There are many such people around our own emperor, but you haven't discovered it yet."
Old Wu immediately became energetic and asked: "Do you know who it is? Tell me, tell me!"
"you guess!"
"...! Get out!"
Some people died, but not completely...
