Chapter 591: Planning and Strategizing, Winning From Afar
Early the next morning, when the refreshed Lian Chengbi and the red-faced Shen Bijun came out, the first news they heard was the death of Zhao Wuji.
"Zhao Wuji died, when?" Lian Chengbi asked.
"Two days ago," Double Swordsman Li Yifan reported, "Zhao Wuji's body was discovered in the woods on the outskirts of Xuzhou. Also discovered with him were the bodies of Gale Sword Chen Ba and Yunzhong Yan Huang Yunfei."
Liancheng Bi frowned, "Chen Ba and Huang Yunfei, I have heard their names, they seem to be celebrities in the world."
"Chen Ba is the owner of Huaibei Liefeng Villa, and Huang Yunfei is the Lone Ranger of Lunan. They are both well-known figures in the world of chivalry." Li Fan said.
Lian Chengbi nodded. The reputation of these two people was much worse than that of Zhao Wuji, and their martial arts skills were certainly not as good as his.
"Is there any suspected murderer?" Lian Chengbi asked.
"Yes, the murderer has been identified." Li Fan nodded seriously, "It's Xiao Shiyilang!"
Liancheng Bi, "..."
Shen Bijun shouted in surprise, "This is impossible. Xiao Shiyilang should be here at this time..."
She stopped talking mid-sentence. Seeing Li Fan's confused eyes, Shen Bijun stopped talking when Lian Chengbi answered, "When my wife and I came back from the northwest, we learned about Xiao Shiyilang's whereabouts. He should be in the northwest area at this time."
"That's it." Li Yifan understood and said nonchalantly, "It's also possible that someone else framed Xiao Shiyilang. After all, no one saw Xiao Shiyilang commit the crime this time."
Shen Bijun asked, "If that's the case, why do you doubt Xiao Shiyilang again?"
"Because Xiao Shiyilang left a message next to Zhao Wuji's body." Li Fan said, "A layer of bark was scraped off the bark next to his body, and it was carved with a knife, 'Young Master Wuji doesn't have much wealth, he is really damned. Xiao Shiyilang left these ten words."
Shen Bijun held his forehead and was speechless. Isn't this too hasty?
"Does this prove that Xiao Shiyilang killed Zhao Wuji?" Shen Bijun asked in disbelief.
Li Fan shook his head and nodded, "Zhao Wuji is a famous knight in Hebei. There are few enemies in Wuji's swordsmanship in the 81st Road. There are no gangsters in that area who can easily kill him. Together with Chen Ba and Huang Yunfei.
Only Xiao Shiyilang is missing. He killed the hero Feng Nanqiu in Luoyang a month ago, and with his martial arts, he was able to keep the three of them together with Zhao Wuji.
Xiao Shiyilang never concealed anything when he took action, and when he left after killing Feng Daxia, he was still singing a ditty that was unique to him. This time, no one was present when he killed Zhao Wuji and the other three, so the message was reasonable. "
Shen Bijun was completely speechless, and Lian Chengbi laughed.
"It makes sense, it makes so much sense." Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "Xiao Shiyilang has high martial arts skills and an arrogant temperament. He has no reason to do anything, and he may just be nearby. So how do you think, Zhao Wuji and the other three They all died in his hands, right?"
Li Fan nodded, "That's right."
Shen Bijun couldn't help but sigh. If she hadn't known the inside story, she would have suspected Xiao Shiyilang.
Because apart from him, there seemed to be no other suspects.
But since we knew that Xiao Shiyilang was often framed before, the person who framed him was probably Tianzong, and Zhao Wuji was a member of Tianzong...
Hey, wait a minute, since Zhao Wuji is a member of Tianzong, why would Tianzong kill him?
…
After Li Yifan left, Shen Bijun asked Lian Chengbi about this issue.
"Because Zhao Wuji hosted a banquet for me, but in his reply to Tianzong, he probably didn't mention the Geshu treasure." Lian Chengbi shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Zhao Wuji was also quite greedy and courageous, and he even tried to betray him. Heart."
Shen Bijun's eyes lit up, "Could it be that Gale Blade Chen Ba and Yunzhong Yanhuang Yunfei are also members of the Tianzong?"
Lian Chengbi nodded, "That should be it, and they should be friends of Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji went to them to discuss this matter."
Shen Bijun continued to reason along Lian Chengbi's train of thought, "But he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly... uh... this news, could it be..."
Lian Chengbi smiled and nodded.
Shen Bijun was also speechless, "I didn't expect Zhou Baima to be so unable to hide his words."
"If you live in Jiangnan for a few more days, you will know what kind of person Zhou Zhigang is." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.
"So the three Zhao Wuji were killed by Tianzong because they wanted to betray Tianzong." Shen Bijun said.
Lian Chengbi nodded, "That must be it."
"Not only do we clean up the traitors, but we also kill the chickens to scare the monkeys?" Shen Bijun couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a powerful method!"
"Yes, Zhao Wuji died in such a way. I'm afraid everyone within the Tianzong will know that Zhao Wuji is from the Tianzong, and at the same time, they will know that someone from the Tianzong has taken action." Lian Chengbi said.
"Has this matter been suppressed?" Shen Bijun asked with a frown.
"How is that possible?" Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "People are unpredictable. Tianzong uses handles and money to recruit talents. Although it can gather many experts in a short period of time, it still has to bear the disadvantages of this behavior."
…
"Geshu's treasure? Is it in the hands of Tianzong?"
"Didn't you say that you told Lian Chengbi about Geshu's treasure?"
"Yes!" Feng Siniang was a little dazed, and then gritted her teeth, "Lian Chengbi is also a big bastard. He heard about Geshu's treasure from me, and also learned from Tu Xiaotian that Tianzong was holding the treasure. Didn't you tell us?"
Yang Kaitai licked his lips and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Shiyilang looked at Xie Tianshi, who was walking on the street, frowning and feeling uneasy, "But if he spread the news at this time, shouldn't we just keep an eye on Xie Tianshi?"
"Hey?" Feng Siniang immediately reacted, and then smiled happily, "I didn't expect Lian Chengbi to be so clever, he let it slip in Jinling, but it helped us a little. If Xie Tianshi met with the leader of Tianzong because of this, wouldn't we win the bet?"
Yang Kaitai said blankly, "Brother Lian won't make such a mistake, right?"
"Huh?"
Feng Siniang and Xiao Shiyilang looked at each other.
"That's right, Lian Chengbi is not a serious gentleman, he has at least eight hundred tricks in his body. If he didn't want to say it, how could he let it slip at the party?" Feng Siniang was very confused.
"Did he reveal this on purpose? But why?" Xiao Shiyilang asked, telling a cold joke, "Is it just to help us win the bet?"
Yang Kaitai said, "Brother Lian is a sincere gentleman and will never hurt anyone. He may really be trying to help us."
Feng Siniang blinked, thinking that Lian Chengbi was really so kind that he couldn't bear to see Xiao Shiyilang being framed, and in order to avoid Xiao Shiyilang's self-esteem being frustrated, he deliberately found an excuse to speak for him?
Xiao Shiyilang looked at Yang Kaitai. This man seemed not smart, but he was sincere and had a good vision. He would not talk nonsense. Could it be that Lian Chengbi really wanted to help him?
But no matter what Lian Chengbi's purpose was, he was far away in Jiangnan, which was equivalent to indirectly helping them.
This favor, I have to accept!
