Zhang Feng nodded and said, "You also thought of it?"
"In fact, I've known for a long time that the Academy was just being used by others. But they should never have killed Qian Wanli!"
"This is not only aimed at the Shandong gentry and the five families and seven families. Don't you realize that these people just want to put the blame on me? And what they want is, Lao Li, what you just thought!"
"Once we all have such thoughts, then … we've really been fooled!"
Li Shimin's face changed again.
This time.
A fine layer of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
Who on earth could have such a terrible plan?
Was he even human?
He wanted to stir up the chaos of the entire Tang Dynasty!
Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "When did you realize it?"
Zhang Feng lit a cigarette and handed it to Li Shimin. Then he looked at Wei Zheng and the others and said, "In fact, after seeing Qian Wanli's body and hearing their words, I understood." "Yes."
"That is to say, the killing you caused in Chang 'an City was also a test?" Wei Zheng frowned and asked.
Zhang Feng nodded.
"In fact, it was not a test. After killing my brother, do you think you can get away with it so easily? That's impossible. In fact, it was also a test for me. To put it bluntly, it was also a means to lure Lao Li out! "
While speaking, Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin playfully and said, "Lao Li, I really didn't expect that the mysterious person would pay such a high price to test you. What is your identity on earth?"
Li Shimin looked shocked.
"Is he suspecting me?"
"Ahem, let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about your guess first."
Li Shimin hurriedly changed the topic.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng shook his head speechlessly and said, "This time, if you think about it carefully, you will be able to see many clues. This time, if I don't do anything, or if you don't do anything, the probing yesterday will be endless. They will keep probing until they find a satisfactory answer!"
When Li Shimin heard this, although he had already expected this, at this moment, when he thought about what Zhang Feng had just said, a chill ran down his spine.
"Go on."
Zhang Feng looked at the cigarette in his hand, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Actually, to put it bluntly, this is a trap prepared for us early on!"
"We've been too ostentatious all this time. Our unconventional teaching model has attracted the hatred of Shandong. Then, our new business model, Paper Blank, and so on have caused direct economic conflicts with Guan Long."
"Behind the road, the papermaking workshop, the forging workshop, and so on have attracted the attention of the five families and seven clans. All these, it seems like we are doing what we want to do unconsciously, but …"
"You should have guessed that this is where those people left a target, and also an opportunity for them to add fuel to the fire!"
At this point, Zhang Feng's expression gradually turned solemn as he said, "Now, all of you should know, right? In fact, our direction is wrong. This time, based on my intuition, doesn't seem to be the doing of these big clans. If Shandong really wanted to target us, would they need to resort to such petty means? "
"Also, the five families and seven clans, do you think we are worthy of them paying such a high price to target us? They only need to move a finger, and everything we've created now will be finished! "
Li Shimin said with a hint of surprise, "You're saying that all this is not their doing?"
"Then, what's the matter with Chang 'an Eight Waters? Also, everything that happened in Nantian wasn't caused by them? "
This was what Li Shimin couldn't figure out the most.
From the siege of Chang 'an's economy last time, to Nantian, to the iron mine this time, could it be that these big clans were not the ones who did it?
Then who could have done it?
Fang Xuanling was also very surprised and said, "Fengzi, this matter, are you …"
Zhang Feng spread out his hands and said, "That's what you asked me to guess. Now I'm just talking about my opinion. Forget it, I won't say it. In short, I don't think it's the doing of these big clans. Instead, I think it's done by someone who knows the situation of the Tang Empire very well and knows about the war on the border. At the same time, someone who has a good relationship with these big clans did it. Or … it's done by those outsiders. I really can't think of any other possibility."
Zhang Feng said so.
Seeing that Zhang Feng didn't want to talk about it, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "Fengzi, do you think that those big clans are not suspicious at all? Or, did they choose to believe the person you spoke of and just sit back and watch? This seems to be … "
"But the person you said, I think, except for the emperor and the retired emperor, no one else can do it, right?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but nod.
He also thought it was impossible.
How big a plan was it? And most importantly, what did he want to do with such a big plan?
As for the outsiders.
Li Shimin was the first to be excluded.
It was simply impossible.
Those big clans even hated these outsiders more than he did.
In their eyes, these outsiders were no different from the indigenous barbarians. Under such conditions, how could they believe the outsiders?
