The appearance of Gao Cai made Shao Xi feel a little confused for a while, because after analyzing everything before, there were indeed many doubts focused on Xiao Yuzhi.
Although Shao Xi has always had reservations about what happened at Fengjiazhuang and the Ruan family ten years ago, and because the Baiye Kingdom envoy was killed and the glass beads were stolen, Shao Xi was sure of the existence of another force, but at that time Shao Xi always believed that only Wandaomen was involved in these two things at the same time.
Even if those two things were not done by the same force, the Wandao Clan might just be a Jianghu sect that collects money to do things. At most, together with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, they are all killers.
But Gao Cai's identity is different. First of all, he is a person close to Xiao Changyi. Even if he colludes with the prince in private, at most he can only think that he is betting on Xiao Yuzhi. In the future, when Xiao Yuzhi gains power, he will have the power to follow the dragon.
So, it is not so strange that he was the go-between between Xiao Yuzhi and these Jianghu sects.
But now Xiao Yuzhi's evidence of crime has been handed over to Xiao Changyi's hands, which has doomed Xiao Yuzhi's final fate.
At this time, Gao Cai appeared at the information transfer point controlled by another force. Did he realize that Xiao Yuzhi had lost power and switched to another company, or was he hedging his bets from the beginning?
Shao Xi felt that the first possibility was not very likely, because he had only handed over all the evidence of Xiao Yuzhi's crimes to Xiao Changyi this morning. Ordinarily, Gao Cai did not get the news so quickly, so there was only one possibility left. He had It is inextricably linked to another force.
Such a person can exist in two forces at the same time for so long, and he is still safe. Is it really because he has done it flawlessly and without any flaws?
Or is he just so lucky that neither party found anything wrong with him? Human beings will make mistakes, and Shao Xi never believed that a two-faced man would not make any mistakes for so many years.
Shao Xi had a feeling before, but he was never sure. When he saw Gao Cai actually appearing in Xinjing Teahouse, the feeling in Shao Xi's heart became stronger and stronger.
This Gao Cai is definitely not simple. Maybe he had an ulterior motive for staying with Xiao Yuzhi for so many years, and this ulterior motive has now been secretly discovered by himself.
Shao Xi once again recalled in his mind the differences between the massacre of the Fengjiazhuang family and the massacre of the Ruan family ten years ago. At this time, he found that there were indeed huge differences in the way the two incidents were handled. difference.
At first, Shao Xi just felt a little strange. Why did Xiao Yuzhi handle the same two things in two completely different ways?
I also suspected that the person behind these two incidents was not the same person. But at that time it was just speculation and suspicion, but now it gradually became clear to Shao Xi that it seemed that the two incidents were indeed not done by the same person.
What happened in Fengjiazhuang and Jingci'an was extremely rough and simple, and the methods of doing things were very extreme, which was in line with Xiao Yuzhi's personality.
The Ruan family's affairs were handled very patiently and rationally, which was completely different from the behavior of Fengjiazhuang and Jingci'an. This proved that the person behind the Ruan family's tragedy was most likely the one he was currently investigating. man of.
This person's personality is very different from Xiao Yuzhi's, and he is more thoughtful and cautious in doing things.
Although Wandaomen was involved in both the Fengjiazhuang and Ruan family matters, the Ghost Emperor's Mansion only appeared during the Ruan family matter, and only to hunt down Ruan Haoyang.
This shows that at the beginning, it was planned to only use Wandaomen to handle the matter, but later something went wrong, and the Ghost Emperor's Mansion was arranged to help Wandaomen to deal with the situation.
As Gao Cai, he must have played an important role in both incidents. If both incidents were related to him, it would prove that besides Xiao Changyi, he did have two other masters back then.
So which one does he really serve? There is another problem here, that is, when You Yi'an
After the insiders of "Jingcheng Division" got the news about Fengjiazhuang, they revealed the news to Xiao Yuzhi, but at the same time, he was involved in the affairs of the Ruan family, so whose side is You Yi'an on?
With You Yi'an's identity, it is absolutely impossible to be like Gao Cai and still be safe. So You Yi'an's ability to serve both sides at the same time must be related to Gao Cai.
In other words, which side is Gao Cai really working for, and You Yi'an is cooperating with which side Gao Cai is working for.
Although Shao Xi's mind was a little confused at this time, he seemed to have caught something, but he couldn't tell exactly what he caught.
Long Qitai looked at Shao Xi sitting there in silence, and knew that Shao Xi must be wondering why the man who just got off the carriage appeared here?
Shao Xi knew this person, but was a little confused about his appearance here at this moment. Long Chitai knew that the next development of things was beyond the scope of what he should know, so he had no intention of asking any more questions.
But I still asked
"Brother, do you want me to call a carriage? Let's follow him secretly for a while and see where he goes." Shao Xi did not raise his head to look at Long Chitai, his eyelids were still lowered, as if he was still thinking about himself in his mind The problem.
He just shook his head gently and replied
"No, I know where this person will go. Neither you nor I can go where he goes." Long Chitai was a little surprised by Shao Xi's words. How could Shao Xi know where this person would go? ?
How do you know where this person has gone and where he is?
Neither the inspector of the "Jingcheng Department" nor his position in Dali Temple can go? In Daliang City, Kyoto, they can count on one hand the places that the two of them cannot go to at this moment. Could it be that Shao Xi knows this person's details so well?
Seeing that Shao Xi didn't speak anymore, Long Chitai didn't say anything either. He just continued to stare at the carriage in front of the Xinjing Tea House opposite. At this moment, he didn't know what he was staring at. Maybe Shao Xi and he were here today. The purpose here has been achieved, right?
Shao Xi has confirmed that the person he guessed will come, so the next step is Shao Xi's matter, and it seems that he can no longer intervene.
It seems that the complexity of the next thing is no longer under my control. I can only see how Shao Xi arranges it. I can help as much as I can, right?
Not long after, Gao Cai was seen walking out of the Xinjing Teahouse. The coachman helped Gao Cai onto the carriage, got on the carriage and waved his whip, and the carriage left as slowly as when it came.
Long Qitai reminded Shao Xi in a low voice
"He has left." Shao Xi didn't seem to care about Gao Cai's departure. He didn't even turn his head to look out the window. Instead, he still put his thumb on his chin and lowered his head to think about Gao Cai's departure. What role do these two forces play in everything that happens?
Just sitting here quietly, neither Shao Xi nor Long Xitai spoke. Long Xitai drank alone and did not disturb Shao Xi.
However, the sky outside is getting darker gradually, and the restaurant will close after dark.
Just when Long Qitai was about to remind Shao Xi, Shao Xi seemed to understand something for a moment. A light seemed to flash in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a look of satisfaction.
Shao Xi took out a piece of silver from his purse and threw it on the table, stood up and walked outside. Said something in his mouth
"That's it for today. Brother Long, why don't you go back to Dali Temple? I'm going home to sleep." This sentence made Long Chitai confused and confused. He thought to himself that this kid had a sad look on his face just now, why did he suddenly suddenly Just say you want to go home and sleep?
What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd? But before he could ask any more questions, he saw that Shao Xi had already gone downstairs to leave the restaurant, so he hurriedly followed him.
Shao Xi didn't say anything along the way, and he broke up with Long Qitai and went home. Long Qitai returned to Dali Temple with suspicion. Although Shao Xi didn't say anything to him, he could tell that Shao Xi seemed to have found some important clues.
If he wanted to know what was going on, he could only wait for Shao Xi to tell him in the future. In short, he would never ask questions that he shouldn't ask.
Shao Xi returned home and first went to the woodshed in the backyard. No need to think about it, Lao Wu must be chopping firewood in the backyard woodshed again!
He just doesn't understand why this old guy is so obsessed with chopping firewood? There are so many servants in the house who don't need him to do any work, but he still has to go to the woodshed to chop firewood every day. I wonder if this is a very special hobby?
It was getting dark, but this old guy actually stayed in the woodshed with a lamp, chopping away piece by piece with a hatchet, and looked indifferent when he saw Shao Xi coming in.
Shao Xi pulled a wooden pier from the side and sat next to Old Wu. While helping him sort out the chopped firewood, he asked: "Old Wu, we are going to look for me at the old site of Jingci Temple tomorrow morning. Something my mother left me.
"At first you guessed that what my mother left to me might be the swords she and my aunt used during their lifetimes and the swordsmanship secrets they practiced. What kind of swords and swordsmanship were those? Can you tell me?" Lao Wu He raised his eyelids and glanced at Shao Xi. He didn't stop chopping firewood in his hands. Instead, he chopped more vigorously and kept making
"Crack" sound.
"Your mother Baili Yingxue and your aunt Baili Ningshuang were the two most proud disciples of Patriarch Tianqiong of the Tianqiong Sect. Naturally, they passed on the two best swords and the most proud swordsmanship to them. They were killed, and the names of the two swords and the swordsmanship were also named for them. Think about how Patriarch Tianqiong loved his two disciples back then." Shao Xi became interested when he heard this and quickly asked Said: "Tell me quickly, what kind of peerless magic weapon and amazing swordsmanship was passed down to my mother and aunt by ancestor Tianqiong back then?"
"The sword your mother used back then was called the Yingxue Sword, and the sword your aunt used was the Ningshuang Sword. The sword technique they practiced together was called Snow Zhuishuang."
