Jin Jing glanced at Xue Ruitian, neither saying that she agreed with his point of view, or that she had other ideas. She changed to a slightly more comfortable posture, and set her eyes on the board again, reading every thread on it, word for word. I read it again and thought about it in my mind.
"Xiaojing, what do you think?" Xue Ruitian observed his expression and guessed that he had something in mind before asking.
"The conclusion is basically the same as yours, but the direction of consideration is somewhat different from yours." Jin Jing straightened her legs and shook them alternately a few times. "The Tantai family is a little worried now. Just from this small board, we can It can be seen that their internal struggle for power is becoming increasingly fierce.”
"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "The head of the family, Tantai Yunren, is from one faction, and the head's mother-in-law, Mrs. Teng, is from the same faction. They are fighting to the death. It's very lively."
"This Mrs. Teng wants to replace Tantai Yun. No matter who she puts in the position in the future, she will be the one who truly holds the real power. Therefore, she will definitely put all her efforts into this, right? "
"The military advisor is right. It is indeed the case. We have confirmed from several directions that Mrs. Teng is bound to control the Tantai family." Ying Wu nodded, "Mrs. Teng is very interested in her younger brother and the family who raised her younger brother. Everyone is very grateful. In addition, she does not want to delay her penetration into Daxia because of internal fighting with Tantai Yunren. Therefore, the Chi family is her best informant in Daxia, which is why the confidants around her She is also disgusted with Chi Hong and wants to get rid of him quickly, but she still won’t take any action.”
"It's not just about blood and family ties, it's also about conflicts of interest." Jin Jing sighed softly, "We have the means, but our heart is not ruthless enough. She has no chance of winning against Tantai Yunren. In the end, it can only end in failure.”
"Military advisor..." Ying Wu frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You just said that the Yu family brothers and the old man named Qian who you captured in Xijing City and the ruined temple outside the city are all Tantai Yunren's confidants and his die-hard loyalists, right?"
"Yes, especially the fifth child of the Yu family, who has an even more irreconcilable relationship with Tantai Yunren. The guard A Zhuang once said that these two people are almost inseparable. From childhood to adulthood, they rarely have disagreements and rarely talk about each other. Quarreling. The few conflicts we had were all done for outsiders to see."
"So, why did he send his confidant to us?" Jin Jing raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it just to win over us and form an alliance with us?"
"That's what they said." Ying Wu nodded, "They can hand over all the evidence to us, but we need to ensure their safety and seclusion in the mountains and forests."
"Living in seclusion in the mountains and forests?" Jin Jing chuckled, "Internal fighting is indeed very draining. Even if Tantai Yunren wins against Mrs. Teng, he probably won't have any ideas to continue. Living in seclusion is an excellent choice." He Looking at Ying Wu, "They have been fighting for more than ten years, right?"
"Absolutely." Ying Wu nodded, "After Mrs. Xue's case, Tantai Yunren realized that he had been deceived, and then he started to fight back."
"It's about what I expected." Jin Jing touched her chin, "However, we have been fighting for so many years, and they are still stuck in this kind of petty fight. This Mrs. Teng's means of seizing power are not very good."
"People have already lost their lives, military advisor." After hearing Jin Jing's words, Ying Wu couldn't laugh or cry, "How could it be just a small fight?"
"The drama of seizing power has always been a matter of life and death." Jin Jing waved her hand, "Besides, this is not the point."
"What's the point?"
"The point is, if Aunt Xue's case was planned by Mrs. Teng, Tantai Yunren would not be alive today."
"Agree." Xue Ruitian nodded in agreement, "Mrs. Teng should have taken control of the Tantai family long ago. This situation is simply not possible."
Jin Jing felt her legs were a little numb. She looked around and asked Hongye to throw the stick beside her. He held the stick and tapped it gently and rhythmically on her calf.
"It can be seen from here that the situation involving Aunt Xue cannot possibly be Mrs. Teng's handiwork. Neither she nor Wanyanping are just being used. If they don't do it, There will be other people who will do it, so this is why Xiaotian said that the person we are really looking for is not them."
"But this kind of twists and turns..." Xue Ruitian looked at Jin Jing, "I haven't seen it... before..."
"I've never seen it." Jin Jing nodded, "This person protects himself very well. Unless his confidants betray him, even if we catch Mrs. Teng and ask some clues from her mouth, it may not be possible. We can catch this person out." He looked at Ying Wu, "During your interrogation, did anyone mention that there was any suspicious person around Mrs. Teng?"
"Old man Qian once said that he accidentally bumped into a man in black. This man was wrapped tightly from head to toe, with a mask on his face. He couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't know whether he was a man. She was still a woman. When he saw this person, Mrs. Teng sent him out of her little Nuan Pavilion very respectfully, her words and deeds showed her respect for this person. "
“Respect?”
"These people..." Xue Ruitian walked to the small board and drew a vague circle on it, "They are all protective layers set up by the person behind the scenes to wrap up their true colors layer by layer. We What we have to do is follow these chess pieces and peel off this person’s disguise layer by layer to reveal his true face.”
"The Duke and the boss said so too." Ying Wu walked to Hongye and sat down, yawned widely, and looked at Xue Ruitian with a smile, "They were also worried that Master Hou would get hot and kill directly. In Xijing, I went to His Highness Prince Ning to investigate, but I didn’t expect that the Marquis would be so calm and not anxious at all.”
"I've been waiting for so many years, and now that things are clear, I'm not in a hurry. Again, I'm looking for the final culprit, not the scapegoat."
"The Marquis is wise!"
After mustering up energy to explain all these things, Ying Wu began to feel sleepy and yawned several times in succession, looking like he had no energy.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Hongye patted him on the shoulder, "Did you not get a good night's sleep along the way? Now that you're home, you can rest peacefully."
"There is another very important matter, which is also the most important and urgent thing I need to solve when I come back this time." Ying Wu looked at Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, "We must seize the time to put Yang Haocai on trial. The Duke and the boss are still here. Waiting for news from us.”
"Go now!" Xue Ruitian gestured towards Jin Jing, "Just the two of us go, Xiao Wu, let's rest!"
