Li Shiyan was shocked by Jing Rong's amnesia, but at the same time, he thought that there must be a story behind it.
Ji Yunshu didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point. "The most important thing now is to find a way to save Teacher Su. The Supreme Court found arsenic in the Immortal's Contest Tower, and everything points to Teacher Su. This is very disadvantageous to him."
Li Shiyan immediately became spirited. "Have you thought of a way?"
"It's not that there is no way, but we need someone to help us."
"Who?"
"Old General Wen!"
'Huh?' Luo Yang immediately said, "Are you kidding me? That Teacher Su was brought to the Supreme Court because he tried to poison him. How could he disregard the past and help him? Moreover … "He looked at Jing Rong from head to toe.
"Back in the Nansai Desert … You, a dignified prince, had chased after the Wen. If they knew that you were in cahoots with General Su, they definitely wouldn't help you. Not only would they not help you, they would even kick you when you are down."
"Wait a minute …" Li Shiyan interrupted. "Chased? Who chased who? "
'I'm still in the dark!'
Thus, Luo Yang managed to explain most of it without saying a word.
Li Shiyan was skeptical. Why would Su Ziluo send people to kill the Wen brothers?
Moreover …
"Prince Rong, why do you listen to Ziluo?"
'The waters are really deep!' Jing Rong avoided the question. "I didn't go to the Nansai Desert to kill people. I wanted to stop Wen Yu from going to Lingtang County to retrieve King Jing 'an's body so that the Emperor could punish the Wen family. At that time, there was another group of assassins in the Nansai Desert, including those on the ship.
The people who chased after the Wen brothers were not my people. "
Luo Yang asked, "Not you? Then who? "
"The Beheading Nine Divisions!"
Li Shiyan was shocked. "The Beheading Nine Divisions? That's a sect in the pugilistic world. "
"That's right!"
"But the Beheading Nine Divisions has no enmity with the Wen family. They are in charge of the pugilistic world."
Jing Rong frowned. "If I'm not wrong, the incident at the Immortal's Contest Tower was also secretly carried out by the Beheading Nine Divisions."
Li Shiyan was completely confused, "Then why did they do this?" "To provoke a conflict between the Wen and Su families!" Ji Yunshu continued, "So, we need to find the person who ordered them to kill people. Then, he would be able to find the real culprit behind the poisoning and tell the truth to Old General Wen.
If the misunderstanding is resolved, he will help save Mr. Su. "
Li Shiyan had a rough idea of what was going on. "In other words, from the Southern Fortress all the way to Yan Jing, someone has been plotting against the Wen and Su families in order to incite a war between them."
"That's right."
"But we don't have any clues. Where should we start?"
Jing Rong said, "The person who executed the Nine Divisions Manager is called Zuo Tu. If we want to investigate, we need to lure the snake out of its hole. And this snake needs the two of you to lure."
"Us?" Li Shiyan and Luo Yang looked at each other in confusion.
…
The next day
Li Shiyan and Luo Yang went to Zhan Jiusi.
Someone led them all the way to the reception hall.
The person who came to see them was not Zuo Tu, but the third-in-command, Old Tang!
Old Tang was in his fifties, with a hideous scar across his face and a head full of braids. At first glance, one would think that he was a barbarian, but with all kinds of strange objects hanging on his clothes, one would know that he was a rough and barbaric man.
He looked at them from head to toe and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to Zhan Jiusi? "
Li Shiyan sat down on a chair on the right and pretended to be negotiating with someone. He asked, "Are you the manager here?"
"I'm the third-in-command here. You can tell me anything you want."
"Can you make the decision?"
"Brat, where do you think this is? If you have something to say, then say it. If not, then hurry up and leave. "Old Tang revealed a fiendish expression.
It seemed like he wanted to drive them away.
After all, the people who came to Zhan Jiusi to do business were all famous people in the jianghu. How could these two brats who were still wet behind the ears act like they were here to do business?
Therefore, Old Tang didn't have much patience.
He gave a perfunctory reply.
Li Shiyan wasn't annoyed by Old Tang's words. He raised his voice and puffed out his chest. "I'm here to do a big business. Tell your manager to come out and talk to me."
"Ha!" Old Tang laughed contemptuously. "Brat, you should hurry up and leave. Not everyone can see our manager."
"The heir of Marquis Kang, do you want to see me?"
Huh?
Old Tang was stunned. "Heir?"
"That's right. I'm the heir of Marquis Kang, Li Shiyan. I want to see your manager!"
Old Tang squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Li Shiyan. This person looked sloppy, but his clothes were not simple. He wore a luxurious robe and an expensive jade pendant. His appearance and demeanor were imposing. He really didn't look like an ordinary person.
Thus, Old Tang brought them to the back hall.
They saw the manager of Zhan Jiusi – Zuo Tu!
Zuo Tu was only in his early thirties. He was dressed elegantly and looked very young. He didn't look like the fiendish and old man that was rumored to be. Instead, he looked like a refined scholar.
Zuo Tu invited them to take a seat and ordered people to serve tea. He asked, "What business do you two have with me?"
Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything else. Then, he walked around the room, admiring the famous paintings and antiques.
After all, he was a boorish person. This kind of thing was better left to Li Shiyan.
He didn't want to say the wrong thing!
But if there was a fight, he would be the first one to fight!
Li Shiyan didn't want to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point. "I'm the heir of Marquis Kang, Li Shiyan. I'm not here to drink tea and chat. I'm here to trouble you to take care of a few things."
"Prince, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Do you know about the Wen Family?"
"Yes." "The two young masters of the Wen Family are my good friends. A few months ago, the second young master, Wen Yu, encountered a group of assassins in the Nansai Desert. He almost lost his life! Then, on the way back to Yan Jin, the two young masters of the Wen Family were assassinated! If it weren't for their luck …
They would have died a long time ago. Since your Zhan Jiusi is here to take care of Jianghu matters, you should be able to find out who the assassins are, right? "
Zuo Tu didn't show any surprise.
Li Shiyan continued, "You don't have to worry about money. As long as you name a price, I'll give you a share. But this matter concerns the Wen Family's reputation. It can't be made public."
Zuo Tu took a sip of tea slowly. He put down the teacup and said, "I, Zhan Jiusi, have to take care of Jianghu matters. But if you want me to send people to investigate based on a few words, isn't that like a headless fly?"
He should at least give them some clues! When Luo Yang heard this, he interrupted coldly, "If we have clues, why would we need to look for you? I thought you Zhan Jiusi were very powerful! You said that Zhan Jiusi is omnipotent. Other than those that fly in the sky and swim in the sea, there's nothing you can't do.
It seems like you've boasted too much this time. That's all you're capable of! "It was blatant disdain!
