The Wen family's affairs are not suitable to be discussed with Wang Jian and Zhang Liao. They involve a lot of overt and covert fights between the top officials of the Xuanqing Guard and the temple. Wang Jian and Zhang Liao are still out of reach. Talking too much can easily lead to trouble.
So after coming out of the torture room and arranging the next events in the Black Flag Camp, Shen Hao went to find Tang Qingyuan.
The party before Tang Qingyuan made a very accurate judgment about the Wen family, which gave Shen Hao a lot of confidence.
Seeing Shen Hao coming, Tang Qingyuan dismissed several general flag officers who were inquiring about information in his mansion, then closed the door and told the guards outside not to let anyone in.
"how?"
Shen Hao did not hide his secrets, and laid out the situation analyzed by Wang Jian and Zhang Liao. Without going into the details, Shen Hao was sure of the conclusion: there must be two groups of people who attacked the dungeon last night.
"I just went to see Wen Renhai. I originally wanted to check on his condition and see if I could get some clues from him about the second group of people. But unexpectedly, I got an answer I hadn't thought of before. "
"Oh? Tell me."
Shen Hao sorted out his thoughts and continued: "I was originally thinking that the people who most wanted Wen Renhai to die were those who had done dirty things and were known by Wen Renhai, such as the Jingbei Army. This is in line with "interests" The concept of "vendetta". Moreover, there are countless masters in the Jingbei Army. Although my subordinates have not understood it, I imagine that among them there will definitely be masters who specialize in "assassination, sabotage" and other special tasks. They are fully capable and have the courage to carry out attacks against me, Xuanqing Guard. Raid.
However, although Wen Renhai did mention the Jingbei Army, the Jingbei Army was not the one he thought most wanted him to die in prison. Wen Renhai felt that the person who wanted him to die the most and could benefit from it was his brother Wen Renqing. "
Having said this, Shen Hao paused and saw a "surprised but not surprised" expression on Tang Qingyuan's face, so he probably thought of it.
"According to Wen Renhai, as long as he dies, his eldest brother Wen Renqing will definitely become the next generation heir of the Wen family, so he suspects that after Wen Renqing learned that his mother Qin Yurou was planning to escape from prison to save her son, He secretly carried out sabotage and used a trick of "doing it without stopping" to directly kill him."
Tang Qingyuan nodded from time to time while listening. He had also seen the world before. Although he was not familiar with the fights in these big families, he was not unfamiliar at all. At least he had heard a lot. And there is nothing wrong with Wen Renhai's guess. His eldest brother Wen Renqing does have motives and abilities.
However, Shen Hao always felt that something was missing.
"What? Do you think there is something wrong with what Wen Renhai said?" Tang Qingyuan could naturally hear the confusion in Shen Hao's tone.
"Well, it's a bit. My lord, don't you think Wen Renqing can't take such a big risk to kill Wen Renhai at this juncture? A man who has been causing trouble for a long time has finally put the entire family on the fire this time. Are the children of the Wen family still qualified to take over as the head of the Wen family? I'm afraid they are gone, right?
Since Wen Renhai is unlikely to continue to be the heir to the Wen family, what reason does Wen Renqing have to kill Wen Renhai? "
Shen Hao's previous inaccurate judgment of the Wen family was mainly due to his lack of intuitive understanding of the big families in this world, but now he has come to think of it, and his thinking is still very sharp on specific doubtful points. You can see the problem by turning it around.
"Indeed, you mean that you are more inclined to believe that the second group of attackers were sent by the Jingbei Army?" Tang Qingyuan nodded directly in agreement with Shen Hao's point of view. Indeed, Wen Renhai would never have such a trouble. The qualification to become the successor of the Wen family naturally no longer poses a threat to Wen Renqing.
Looking at the Jingbei Army, this behemoth seems to have more motivation to carry out the attack: if Wen Renhai, who knew that he was smuggling arms, was killed, would the Wen family still dare to blow themselves up? As long as your hands and feet are clean and Xuanqing Guard can't find it, wouldn't you be able to sit back and relax?
However, Shen Hao frowned and shook his head.
"Sir, the Jingbei Army did have a motive to take action, but Wen Renhai reminded me of something I had overlooked before."
"Reminded you of something."
"The fights within the Wen family are actually bloody. There is no mercy just because of blood relations. It's more about hiding the blood."
"Then what?"
"Then I was thinking, in fact, besides the Jingbei Army, there is another force that also wants Wen Renhai to die, and that is the Wen family itself."
"What's the meaning?"
"Sir, think about it, something happened to Wen Renhai, which happened to push the Wen family into the middle of the upper-level struggle. Saving Wen Renhai is tantamount to actively participating in this battle and becoming a battlefield. No matter who loses or wins, the Wen family will have to pay for it. Damn it. If we don't save him, Wen Renhai is too important to the Wen family. Knowing that the Wen family has too many secrets, and Xuan Qingwei's consistent style, the Wen family will definitely worry about Wen Renhai's mouth leaking.
If you can't save him, and you can't just leave him alone, the best way is to kill him. Even compared to the Jingbei Army's eagerness for Wen Renhai's death, the Wen family did not lose at all, and was even stronger. "
As soon as Shen Hao raised this guess, Tang Qingyuan was immediately stunned.
Not only did the Wen family not save their children, but they also took great risks to clean up the family in order to clean themselves up?
It seems unbelievable at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is really possible.
Shen Hao paused and continued: "Based on this speculation, if Qin Yurou sneaked out of the Wen family to save her son alone, did she know in advance the Wen family's plan to clean up the family?"
Tang Qingyuan understood what Shen Hao meant.
"You mean to put this in the file?"
"This is exactly what I mean."
Tang Qingyuan smiled knowingly, nodded and said: "Master Jiang said before that we, Licheng Black Flag Battalion, should be responsible for the specific investigation, but the general direction is for Master Jiang to make a statement. Your idea is good. Write the dossier according to this idea and then Just hand it over, I think Mr. Jiang is also impatiently waiting for this first-hand information."
"Haha, as long as you agree, my lord, I will retire now and try to submit the first file before I leave."
"Yes. By the way, you must make sure to arrange the ten masters who are reinforced by Mr. Jiang and don't neglect them."
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will know."
When Shen Hao came out of Tang Qingyuan's apartment and returned to his place, the first thing he did was to urge Wang Jian to get the first draft of the dossier as soon as possible, and then he would revise it. After it was done, I ordered someone to report it urgently, just in time for my business trip in the evening.
Opening the door, Wang Jian seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time.
"Is something wrong?"
"General Banner, the ten masters reinforced by Qianhu have arrived and have been arranged to guard Wen Renhai according to your instructions, but..."
