"But..." Gu Xun continued, "I can't guess who killed him."
According to the original plot, he should have died at the hands of his own children, but... Tian Meng now has no sons at all, only an only daughter.
By the way, Tian Meng once had a son, but he died many years ago, leaving only one daughter... Well, that's what it is said.
Therefore, Gu Xun was not sure how Tian Meng died and could only make some guesses.
"Sir, do you think Luo Wang did it?" Bai Feng asked again.
"Judging from the information Liusha has obtained before, there is collusion between Lieshan Hall leader Tian Meng and Luo Wang, but the two parties are closer to a cooperative relationship, or a relationship of mutual utilization, rather than a subordinate relationship."
Gu Xun took a sip of tea and briefly analyzed, "For Luo Wang, there is no such thing as a 'collaborator' in this world. Since Tian Meng is not one of our own, he was chosen as a victim by Zhao Gao to quickly intensify the internal affairs of the farm family.
Conflicts are normal."
"But..." Gu Xun changed the subject and said, "I think the chance of Luo Yun's attack is low."
"Ah?" Bai Feng was confused by the sudden turn of events.
Gu Xun explained with a smile, "Luo Wang has the reason to kill Tian Meng, but he may not have the strength to kill Tian Meng."
"Even if you rely on an unexpected sneak attack, if you want to kill Tian Meng with one blow, the strength requirements of the person doing it are still not low."
"At present, it seems that the 'hidden stakes' of the net in the farmer's house may not have the strength."
"Sir, do you already know who the hidden stake is?" Bai Feng asked somewhat unexpectedly.
The current information is not enough to point out which of the farm's top executives have problems. Bai Feng was pondering this question before, but Gu Xun seems to have the answer.
Gu Xun served himself more tea and said to Bai Feng in a serious voice:
"You have to learn to see through the phenomena to see the essence."
"The direction of the situation in the farmhouse is ultimately determined by the actions of the six hall masters. If Luo Wang wants the situation to develop in the direction they want, they must control one or even multiple of the six hall masters.
Location."
"Then you look at the current Sixth Hall Master of the Nong Family. Excluding the dead Tian Meng, there are still five people, Tian Hu, Tian Zhong, Tian Mi, Zhu Jia, and Situ Wanli."
"Which one of them do you think is most likely to have a problem?"
"Tian Mi and...Tian Zhong!" Bai Feng thought for a while and selected the two people who were most suspicious in his eyes.
Gu Xun nodded and replied with a smile, "Don't you think your choice is quite accurate?"
"The problem between them is almost obvious at a glance - as the heads of the sixth farm hall, they are too weak!"
Theoretically speaking, the most important thing about a leader is not personal force, but that is just theory.
The farmer's family is the family with the most quaint atmosphere among the hundreds of scholars, and their style is naturally the most quaint.
But for Jianghu people, only having big fists is the most important thing!
Everything else can be summed up as bells and whistles and of no use whatsoever.
However, with the strength of Tian Zhong and Tian Mi, it is almost impossible for them to convince the public and secure their position as the leader of this hall.
A slave with a third family name... a third-name family slave rose to power by replacing his father, and a female prostitute rose to power by selling meat. Such a person does not have enough strength and is even less likely to secure the position of the hall leader.
Let’s not talk about relying on ability to convince the public... Gonggongtang and Kueitang have been striving to be among the bottom two of the six halls all year round. What kind of abilities do they have?
The ability to show off?
Looking at it this way, naturally the two of them are most likely to have the behind-the-scenes support of Luo Wang.
Bai Feng hesitated and asked, "But... didn't the two of them rely on the support of the Tian family to become hall masters? It may not have something to do with the net, right?"
He himself was doubtful and unsure. The reason why he chose the two of them was just because he had no choice, or in other words, he was the shorter one among the short ones...well, the shorter one among the tall ones.
Gu Xun pointed out the right path, "To be precise, it was with Tian Meng's support... But the problem is that Tian Meng himself is not clean either!"
"Why did he choose Tian Zhong and Tian Mi to be the heads of Gonggong Hall and Kuei Hall?"
"Of course, Tian Meng has many reasons to choose the two of them, but at the same time, there are also many reasons not to choose them, so the final result will make people think too much."
For Tian Meng, he definitely hopes to support puppets to rise to power so that he can actually control Gonggong Hall and Kuei Hall, and the weakness of Tian Zhong and Tian Mi just meets his needs.
But Tian Zhong is a family slave with a third surname and is completely unreliable. If he chooses such a target as a puppet, what if he rebels again, or is simply an undercover agent sent by the Zhu family?
Tian Meng wanted a puppet, and there were many candidates. Tian Zhong met the requirements, but he was not the only one who met the requirements.
As for Tian Mi... she is more dangerous than Tian Zhong, who only betrayed the Zhu family, while Tian Mi directly brought down Sheng Qi, who was in charge of the first lobby of the farm.
Such a scheming person would be fine if imprisoned and used as a plaything, but giving her the position of leader would easily lead to death.
And unlike Tian Zhong, who followed Tian Meng's footsteps after taking office, Tian Mi and her Kui Kai Tang always kept a distance from Lie Shan Tang and did not completely surrender to Tian Meng.
Of course, whether the two of them have intimate physical communication in private is another matter and is beyond the scope of discussion.
Bai Feng nodded after hearing this and did not refute again.
Their current discussion is closer to speculation and does not require evidence. Judging from Tian Zhong and Tian Mi's current level of suspicion, it can be basically confirmed that at least one of them has a problem.
"Then...the Zhu family, the master of Shennong Hall, and Situ Wanli, the master of Siyue Hall..."
"The Zhu family is basically sure that there is nothing wrong with him. He is just an ambitious little fat man. As for Situ Wanli... he is at most like Tian Meng. He has some connection with Luo Sheng, and it is impossible to completely obey Luo Sheng's orders."
Situ Wanli's position as the leader of the hall was achieved step by step by relying on his own merit and qualifications. He did not need Luo Wang's behind-the-scenes support, nor did he need to rush to be Luo Wang's dog.
Moreover, as a gambler, Situ Wanli was surprisingly light on gambling and extremely clear-headed - he only wanted to win, but not to take it all.
Such people will not risk joining the trap.
"In fact, before Wei Zhuang set out, he had already locked the identity of the hidden stake in Tian Zhong and Tian Mi. The only uncertainty is Tian Meng's attitude."
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and said with a meaningful smile, "Fortunately, he doesn't need to think about this issue now."
With Tian Meng's death, in a sense, there are fewer variables within the farmhouse.
Of course, this is based on considering only the two forces of farmers and nets.
However, Tian Meng's death has introduced additional new variables, which may make the situation for the farmers even more chaotic and difficult to control.
