Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Yang Zhao nodded appreciatively, then looked at Xu Maogong who had been silent all the time and asked, "Xu Gong, what do you think?"

From the beginning to the end, Xu Maogong didn't say a word, and Yang Zhao, who was familiar with him, knew that this was a big discovery.

Xu Maogong took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I don't know if you have noticed that Wang Chao's attitude towards Zhao Jian is like an elder treating a junior, defending him everywhere."

During the conversation between Yang Zhao and the two, as long as there was a specific topic, Wang Chao would unconsciously come forward to talk, as if he was blocking the knife for the younger generation.

Another contradiction.

Xu Maogong did not refute Yu Shiji's point of view, he was adding.

That is to say, Wang Chao is headed by Zhao Jian, but protects Zhao Jian everywhere as an elder.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Maogong once again raised a point of view: "What's more, Zhao Jian seems to be reserved, but his eyes are bright. He waits and sees secretly, and every time he speaks is like a temptation."

Yu Shiji naturally noticed this too, but he didn't dare to confirm it. With Xu Maogong's confirmation, he would have something to think about.

No matter how well Zhao Jian hid it, with a group of old foxes like them, he couldn't hide it.

"It seems that the relationship between Zhao Jian and Wang Chao is not trivial."

This was Yu Shiji's final conclusion. The relationship between the two was extraordinary, and the direction of the murder case returned to Zhao Jian.

"Do you still remember the last sentence Wang Chao said?" Yang Zhao asked with twinkling eyes.

Everyone began to recall, and Yu Shiji murmured: "If you have anything to do, you can just talk to Zhao Jian. It is not convenient to meet often on weekdays. If you have something important, then go to him."

I can't remember the specific content, but the general meaning is very clear.

"Obviously, Wang Chao pushed me towards Zhao Jian. He seemed to want nothing to do with me but accepted my gift. It's strange, isn't it?"

Yang Zhao's last action was also to test Wang Chao's intentions.

The third point of contradiction appeared.

As veterans in the officialdom, whether it is Yu Shiji or Pei Ju is very clear.

If you don't want to have any relationship with someone, and immediately disown the relationship, the correct way is not to accept Yang Zhao's gift, and the jade pendant will also be returned.

Today they all saw the jade pendant pinned to Wang Chao's body, which meant that they had accepted Yang Zhao's kindness.

And why push it to Zhao Jian?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Zhao said calmly, "Let's assume, perhaps it was because Wang Chao accepted my kindness that he pushed me to Zhao Jian. This is a hint."

Xu Maogong's eyes flickered, and Yu Shiji's mind spun quickly, exclaiming: "Zhao Jian is the one behind the scenes! Wang Chao is just a puppet!"

Immediately, Yu Shiji, who has rich experience in power struggles, widened his eyes: "Or, the county guard is also Zhao Jian's?"

This is an extremely bold guess.

Who would have thought that the majestic fourth-rank sheriff would be subordinate to a county magistrate.

If the truth is like this, Zhao Jian is too scary, what kind of method will be used to win over the sheriff?

"They all have something in Zhao Jian's hands!"

This is the first thought in everyone's mind, shouted in unison.

Then he was excluded by Yang Zhao: "The county magistrate speaks lightly, the county magistrate may be afraid, but the county magistrate has no reason to be afraid, just get rid of it."

Yang Zhao's words made everyone fall into deep thought again, Xu Maogong nodded slightly, regained his composure, and at the same time looked at Yang Zhao in surprise.

Because these words are tantamount to agreeing that the sheriff has also become Zhao Jian's puppet.

After thinking about it, Xu Maogong understood.

As the county magistrate, if Wang Chao accepted Yang Zhao's kindness, he should recommend it to the county magistrate. This is what normal people do.

But doing the opposite and pushing it to Zhao Jian, the subordinate, just confirmed Yu Shiji's guess from the side.

"Profits and handles can't make the county guard surrender, so the most likely means of Zhao Jian's control is the relationship outside the officialdom."

Yang Zhao gave an analysis calmly, he had already thought about it.

Ever since he met Wang Chao today, he had already made up his mind about this idea.

The reason is what Li Cunxiao said yesterday.

"There is nothing unusual in the government office today, only the county magistrate Yinshi went to the prefect's mansion."

At Yinshi, he had already left the county government.

According to the current relationship, one can imagine Wang Chao's route after he leaves.

First go to Zhao Jian, and then go to Zhang Yong.

But in Wang Chao's mouth today, he didn't even mention Zhang Yong at all, it already explained everything.

Yang Zhao intends to figure out the relationship between the three of them, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that I need to visit Zhang Yong tomorrow. The three of you will go with me."

Yu Shiji was overjoyed that he could finally carry out the mission with His Majesty!

He has been with Pei Ju for two days, and he is about to suffocate to death. This idiot is completely unworthy of discussing with him.

In comparison, Pei Ju's thinking is indeed the weakest among the four, not because he is stupid, but because they are too smart.

The thinking jump is very powerful, which has exceeded the scope of normal people.

……

Fan house.

Mu Guiying silently memorized the words on the plaque, and then turned to the backyard, slightly bent her legs, exerted force under her feet, and her body quickly climbed over the top of the mountain wall like an arrow leaving the string.

On the other side, there was also a black figure crossing the high wall, stepping on the tiles towards the main house, and there was no sound under his feet.

Mu Guiying withdrew her gaze, turned her gaze to the entire house, searched for a moment, determined the location of the study, and quietly groped for it.

The whole movement was silent and did not alarm anyone.

On a cobblestone road in the backyard, two patrol servants held lanterns and stared lazily ahead, letting out a sigh of relief from time to time.

Ok?
One of them felt a gust of cool wind coming from behind him, turned his head subconsciously, and looked at the study behind him.

After watching for a long time, I didn't see any reaction, so I left under the urging of my companions.

Mu Guiying and Li Cunxiao had a clear division of labor, one went to visit the master's house, and the other went to the study.

In this way, the most information can be detected at the fastest speed.

Apart from the main house and study room, there is no other valuable information in the rest of the house.

After the servant left, Mu Guiying quietly entered the study room, without lighting the lamp, her dark eyes swept over, and after getting used to it for a while, she used the moonlight outside the window to search for books.

Put it back in place every time you look at it.

Li Cunxiao touched the largest house by stepping on the tiles, and quietly pushed aside the tiles, there was still a faint light in the house at this moment.

There were two people in the room, one was a young man in a blue dress embroidered with cloud patterns, and the other was a beautiful woman in a purple skirt.

It's the mother and son... Li Cunxiao judged their identities based on their clothes.

The only one who can appear in the main house at this time is the owner.

The man was sitting by the bed, and the woman was standing on the opposite side. The beams of the room were so high that Li Cunxiao, who was standing on the roof, could not hear the conversation inside.

Judging from his expression, it seemed that there was a quarrel... Li Cunxiao judged in his heart that he did not go on recklessly, and planned to wait and see what happened.
