Chapter 369 Win More
Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan are going to Liangcheng to meet Zhou Yuxuan, and the fastest way to Liangcheng is to take a boat.
It happened that Tang Lianyu also planned to go to Liangcheng, so the two simply boarded the merchant ship of Tang Feng Company. Not only did they live comfortably, but there were also people to take care of food and drink on the way, which was great.
As soon as the big boat sailed, Silk City gradually went away. Yang Yiyi walked to the stern of the boat carrying a fishing rod, wanting to kill some time by fishing.
As soon as she passed by, she saw Tang Lianyu standing in front of him, seeming to sprinkle some powdery substance into the water, and finally threw down the clay pot in his hand.
"Nvxia Yang, are you here to fish? The big grass carp near Silk City is very famous."
Tang Lianyu also noticed Yang Yiyi and said hello with an impeccable smile.
Yang Yiyi nodded, took a few steps closer and said hesitantly;
"Ms. Tang, I have something I want to verify."
"What's up?"
"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 childhood, 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 mouth of Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix."
This time Tang Lianyu's pupils shrank slightly, but the expression on his face remained flawless.
"When did Miss Yang start to doubt me?"
"From the beginning."
Yes, I was skeptical from the beginning.
To be precise, Li Chengqi began to doubt Tang Lianyu from the beginning.
The whole thing started when Tang Lianyu said that he 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 show up in front of others easily, only Jianghu people could find him, so they asked them to Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan go.
There was nothing wrong with the request itself, but after listening to Qin Yan's popular science about Du Chun, Li Chengqi immediately felt something was wrong.
Du Chun's whereabouts were erratic. How could Tang Lianyu, a young lady from a merchant family, know about it?
Later, I heard that Du Chun made a bet with the Thousand-Faced Phoenix, that Du Chun could not come within ten miles of the Thousand-Faced Phoenix.
The bet itself was fine, but how did Thousand-Faced Phoenix know whether Du Chun had abided by the agreement and stayed away from him?
In other words, Thousand-Faced Phoenix has a way to find Du Chun's exact location.
Since both Tang Lianyu and Thousand-faced Fierce Phoenix know the exact location of Du Chun, is there a possibility that Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix has a certain connection with Tang Lianyu?
As more and more clues were found, Li Chengqi felt more and more that Tang Lianyu probably knew all the details, and these details were probably told to her by Thousand-Faced Phoenix.
The evidence is also simple.
Both of the deceased had had conversations with the murderer for a period of time before their deaths, and both had left molds of warehouse keys as life-saving charms.
Because the most important point in Mr. Liu's plan was to confirm that the Wen family secretly hid the tributes, and the original plan was to stuff the tributes into the Wen family's warehouse.
But if there is evidence that the key to the Wen family's warehouse is held by a third party, it means there is a possibility of framing the case, adding variables to the plan, and may even lead to it being a failure.
Because of this, molds can serve as a life saver.
However, the life-saving charm did not play its due role, and the two deceased were still killed.
There's no way they didn't use the life-saving charm to negotiate with the murderer, and the murderer didn't care.
Thinking further, since the murderer had a conversation with the deceased, it also means that the murderer and the deceased knew each other.
Judging from the place where the young boy from the Qing family died, there must have been secret connections here. Even if Mr. Liu didn't come in person, he must have sent a trustworthy subordinate who must have some information about Mr. Liu's plan.
In this case, why is the life-saving charm useless?
The last doubtful point is that although Mr. Liu has some martial arts skills, he cannot kill people with a sharp sword or a strong finger. If he really has people who can do these things, how could he watch Liu helplessly when they were fighting in the silk factory outside the city? The young master was pushed to the ground by Yang Yiyi.
Based on the above doubts, Li Chengqi suspected that Mr. Liu asked the Thousand-Faced Phoenix to kill people, and the Thousand-faced Phoenix pretended to be the person who contacted the deceased. However, the Thousand-faced Phoenix didn't care whether Mr. Liu's plan could succeed, so he saved his life. Fu Cai did not play its due role.
Continuing to push forward, since Thousand-faced Fierce Phoenix knew about the life-saving amulet and was suspected of having contact with Tang Lianyu, it is not surprising that Tang Lianyu knew the entire incident. Even if he did not know all the details, he still had a general understanding. Yang Yiyi explained Li Chengqi's speculation to Tang Lianyu bit by bit. The latter listened carefully and clapped his hands:
"Nvxia Yang is thoughtful, but this matter is not what you think but someone else has given guidance, right?"
Tang Lianyu has been doing business with caravans since he was a child, and he thinks he still has a certain eye for people.
She had already seen clearly what kind of person Yang Yiyi was, and such a meticulous reasoning could not have come from her.
"There is no such thing as an expert. It's all just my own wild imagination."
Yang Yiyi quickly explained, but she was really not good at lying, and even children could see that her eyes were wandering.
Tang Lianyu didn't point it out, nodded and said with a smile;
"Let's just treat it like that."
It was a bit dangerous to continue talking about this topic. Yang Yiyi changed the subject and said:
"Where is Senior Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix now?"
"Down there."
"In the cabin?"
"No, it's in the water. What I just scattered are the ashes of the Thousand-Faced Phoenix."
"Forehead……"
"People in the world say that the Thousand-Faced Phoenix has a strange form and kills people without blinking an eye, but they don't know that she has run out of gas and is about to die."
Tang Lianyu shook her head gently and said:
"I had some interactions with Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix by chance. When she came to Silk City, she took the initiative to find me and wanted me to help her expose Mr. Liu's conspiracy."
"Why?"
"After decades of wandering around the world, the last time he killed someone was to help the young master complete his conspiracy. Wouldn't it mean that even if he dies, he won't be able to survive?"
Thousand-faced Phoenix kills people for free, and if he likes you, he will give you a chance to kill three people for you.
This is the code of conduct of the Thousand-faced Phoenix. Unexpectedly, as he got older, he overturned in the end.
Maybe it was because he didn't want to commit any more crimes, or maybe the Jianghu people didn't want to help the government people in their conspiracy, but Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix didn't want to break the rules he had set, so he 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 did not want to help. Tang Lianyu used the excuse that she had to leave beforehand. At that time, she was going to cremate the body of the Thousand Faced Phoenix.
"It's my fault for not explaining it in advance. But judging from the result, Miss Yang has gotten what she wanted. Did I say anything wrong?"
Tang Lianyu smiled slightly, saluted Yang Yiyi again, and walked away gracefully.
Seeing no one around, Yang Yiyi took out Yugui and asked:
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
"This woman is not simple."
During the whole incident, Tang Lianyu never came forward, and she didn't even contribute, but not only did she achieve her goal, but she also got benefits.
Both the Wen and Qing families knew that Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan were sent by Tang Lianyu. This was a favor. In the future, the Tang family would need raw silk. Even if the two families squeezed, they would have to squeeze out enough shares, otherwise they would be ungrateful.
Moreover, Tang Lianyu did not offend anyone. After all, Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan were mainly the two Jianghu people who handled this matter. Mr. Liu and his father could not blame her, and had no impact on Tang Feng's business.
Even if Yang Yiyi broke the window paper, she still had no ill feelings toward Tang Lianyu. The reason was simple. Yang Yiyi did get what she wanted.
There is a chance to break the ice in the relationship between the two families. It is not impossible that Wen Yun and Qingliu will get married, and they even received the thanks from the two families. It is indeed not possible to rely on Tang Lianyu for not telling the truth. The whole thing is to a large extent. Yang Yiyi wanted to do it.
Obtaining maximum benefits at the minimum cost is worthy of being the daughter of a big businessman.
