Idle game leads to another world
Chapter 369 Win-win
Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan were going to Liangcheng to meet Zhou Yuxuan, and the fastest way to Liangcheng was by boat.
Tang Lianyu also planned to go to Liangcheng, so the two simply boarded the merchant ship of Tangfeng Trading Company. Not only did they live comfortably, but they also had someone to take care of their food and drink on the way. How great!
As the big ship started, Silk City gradually went away. Yang Yiyi walked to the stern with a fishing rod, wanting to fish to kill time.
As soon as she passed by, she saw Tang Lianyu standing in the rumor, seeming to sprinkle something powdery into the water, and finally threw the pottery jar in her hand into the water.
"Miss Yang, are you here to fish? The big grass carp near Silk City is very famous."
Tang Lianyu also noticed Yang Yiyi and greeted her with an impeccable smile.
Yang Yiyi nodded, took a few steps closer and said hesitantly;
"Miss Tang, I have something I want to verify."
"What is it?"
"Miss, did you know what Mr. Liu did from the beginning?"
As expected of a young lady from the Tang family who had been following the caravan since she was a child, Tang Lianyu's expression did not change at all.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's just a guess. You knew it from the beginning. You should have learned it from the Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix."
Tang Lianyu's pupils shrank slightly, but the expression on her face was still flawless.
"When did Miss Yang start to suspect me?"
"From the beginning."
Yes, from the beginning.
To be precise, it was Li Chengxi who started to suspect Tang Lianyu from the beginning.
The cause of the whole thing was that Tang Lianyu said she wanted to ask Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan to go to the mountain temple outside the city to find the crazy monk Du Chun, because Du Chun would not easily show up in front of people, and only people from the martial arts world could find him, so she asked Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan to go.
There was nothing wrong with this request, but Li Chengxi immediately felt something was wrong after listening to Qin Yan's popular science about Du Chun.
Du Chun's whereabouts were erratic and he appeared and disappeared like a ghost. How did Tang Lianyu, the eldest daughter of a merchant family, know about him?
Later, it was heard that Du Chun made a bet with Qianmian Xiongfeng that Du Chun could not get within ten miles of Qianmian Xiongfeng.
The bet itself was fine, but how did Qianmian Xiongfeng know whether Du Chun had kept his promise and stayed away?
In other words, Qianmian Xiongfeng had a way to find Du Chun's exact location.
Since Tang Lianyu and Qianmian Xiongfeng both knew Du Chun's exact location, was there a possibility that Qianmian Xiongfeng had a certain connection with Tang Lianyu?
As more and more clues were found, Li Chengxi felt that Tang Lianyu might know all the details, and these details might have been told to her by Qianmian Xiongfeng.
The evidence was also very simple.
Both victims had talked with the murderer for a period of time before their deaths, and both left the mold of the warehouse key as a life-saving talisman.
Because the most important point in Mr. Liu's plan is to prove that the Wen family secretly hid the tribute, and the original plan was to stuff the tribute into the Wen family warehouse.
But if there is evidence that the key to the Wen family warehouse is held by a third party, it means that there is a possibility of framing, which adds variables to the plan and may even lead to failure.
Because of this, the mold can be used as a life-saving talisman.
But the life-saving talisman did not play its due role, and the two dead were still killed.
It is impossible that they did not use the life-saving talisman to negotiate with the murderer, and the murderer did not care.
Thinking deeper, since the murderer had a conversation with the dead, it also means that the murderer knew the dead.
Judging from the place where the Qing family servant died, there should have been many secret contacts here. Even if Mr. Liu did not come in person, he must have sent trusted subordinates, who must know some information about Mr. Liu's plan.
In this case, why is the life-saving talisman useless?
The last doubt is that although Master Liu has some martial arts, he can't kill people with a fast sword or strong finger force. If there are people under his command who can do these things, how could they watch Master Liu being pinned to the ground by Yang Yiyi during the fight at the silk factory outside the city?
Combining the above doubts, Li Chengxi suspected that it was Master Liu who asked Qianmian Xiongfeng to kill people, and Qianmian Xiongfeng disguised himself as the person who contacted the deceased, but Qianmian Xiongfeng didn't care whether Master Liu's plan could succeed, so the life-saving talisman didn't play the role it should have.
Continuing to push it down, since Qianmian Xiongfeng knew about the life-saving talisman and was suspected of having contact with Tang Lianyu, it is not surprising that Tang Lianyu knew the whole situation. Even if he didn't know all the details, he still knew the general situation.
Yang Yiyi explained Li Chengxi's speculation to Tang Lianyu bit by bit. The latter listened carefully and clapped her hands:
"Miss Yang is thoughtful, but this is not what you think, but there is another expert who pointed it out, right?"
Tang Lianyu has been doing business with the caravan since she was a child, and she believes that she still has some insight into people.
Yang Yiyi has a clear understanding of her personality. Such a meticulous reasoning could not come from her.
"There is no such thing as an expert. I just imagined it myself."
Yang Yiyi hurriedly explained, but she was really not good at lying. Even children could see that her eyes were erratic.
Tang Lianyu did not point it out, nodded and smiled;
"Then let's take it as it is."
It was a bit dangerous to continue talking about this topic, so Yang Yiyi changed the subject:
"Where is Senior Qianmian Xiongfeng now?"
"Down there."
"In the cabin?"
"No, in the water. What I just scattered was the ashes of Qianmian Xiongfeng."
"Uh..."
"People in the martial arts world say that Qianmian Xiongfeng is weird and kills people without blinking an eye, but they don't know that she is already exhausted and dying."
Tang Lianyu shook her head gently and said:
"I have had some interactions with Qianmian Xiongfeng by chance. When she came to Sicheng, she took the initiative to find me and wanted me to help her expose Mr. Liu's conspiracy."
"Why?"
"After decades of being in the martial arts world, the last time she killed someone was to help the young master complete the conspiracy. Wouldn't it be uneasy to die?"
Qianmian Xiongfeng kills for free. If she likes you, she will give you a chance to help you kill three people.
This is Qianmian Xiongfeng's code of conduct. Unexpectedly, she turned over in the end when she was old.
Perhaps it was because she didn't want to commit more sins, or perhaps the people in the martial arts world didn't want to help the government to plot, but Qianmian Xiongfeng didn't want to break the rules she set, so she told Tang Lianyu about it.
Before, Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan came back from the mountain temple and reported to Tang Lianyu that the crazy monk Du Chun didn't want to help. Tang Lianyu left first on the pretext that she had something to do. At that time, she was going to cremate the remains of the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix.
"I was wrong for not explaining it in advance. But from the result, Miss Yang has got what she wanted. Am I wrong?"
Tang Lianyu smiled slightly, bowed to Yang Yiyi again, and walked away slowly.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Yiyi took out the jade sceptre and asked:
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
"This woman is not simple."
In the whole thing, Tang Lianyu never showed up, and she didn't even contribute, but she not only achieved her goal but also got benefits.
The Wen and Qing families knew that Tang Lianyu sent Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan here. This is a favor. In the future, when the Tang family needs raw silk, the two families will have to squeeze out enough shares, otherwise they will be ungrateful.
Moreover, Tang Lianyu did not offend anyone. After all, the two people who did this were Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan, two people from the underworld. Young Master Liu and his father could not be blamed on her, and it had no impact on Tangfeng Business.
Even if Yang Yiyi broke this window paper, she did not have any bad feelings towards Tang Lianyu. The reason was very simple. Yang Yiyi did get what she wanted.
The relationship between the two families had a chance to break the ice. Wen Yun and Qing Liu were not without the possibility of getting married. Moreover, they also received the thanks from the two families. It was indeed not Tang Lianyu's fault for not saying anything. The whole thing was largely what Yang Yiyi wanted to do.
Using the smallest cost to obtain the greatest benefit, she is worthy of being the daughter of a big businessman.
