Moreover, what Xia Yu didn't expect was that the killers sent by Blood Shadow Hall had already entered Hailuo City. However, Xia Yu's stay at Baiyun Restaurant was kept strictly confidential and ordinary people could not find out the news. Recently, he went to Ping'an Inn to find Xia Yu.
Everyone thought that he had gone out to do the mission of Tianxiahui again. So at present, the killers of Blood Shadow Hall can only wait patiently near the Ping An Inn where Xia Yu rented before...
Xia Yu is also waiting. He is waiting for Yue Xifeng and others to take action.
In recent days, at Xia Yu's request, Wang Liu came to see Xia Yu every time he came to Baiyun Restaurant. Xia Yu always asked him if anything strange happened in Hailuo City and the City Lord's Mansion. This
One day, Wang Liu finally brought some news that Xia Yu was interested in.
The Diao family was robbed.
It is said that the Diao family was robbed at night three days ago. This time they can be said to have suffered heavy losses. Not only was the secret room dedicated to storing treasures in the family ransacked, but several servants were also killed, one of whom was even Diao Juhua's personal bodyguard.
The guard Diao Xiongxin was furious and at the same time very scared, so he requested the city lord's palace that the whole city wanted this daring thief.
The Diao family is also well-known in Hailuo City, and Diao Xiongxin is Yue Conghai's guest. Although his request is not reasonable, it is not too excessive, so he quickly got Yue Conghai's consent. The entire
Hailuo City has been in a frenzy over this for the past few days. I don't know how many little thiefs have been innocently implicated, but so far, not even the shadow of the legendary "big snitch" has been found.
…
When Wang Liu came to see Xia Yu, Fatty Qiao was also there, and there was also a guy from Baiyun Restaurant. After hearing what Wang Liu said, Fatty Qiao asked the guy, "Are your places going to be searched too? What?"
When is the time?"
"No..." That guy was also someone arranged by Zhao Buming of the General's Mansion, and he quickly replied, "The City Lord's Mansion Guards won't mess around in hunting down snitches. Baiyun Restaurant is now under our control, and we will negotiate with them.
, search the bottom two floors at most, and make sure you don’t search the top floor.”
"Then I'll be relieved..." Seeing that Xia Yu was still deep in thought, Qiao Xiaopang asked Wang Liudao: "Is there anything going on with your eldest lady?"
Wang Liu grimaced and said, "Young Master Qiao, please stop making fun of the villain. The villain is just a servant. How can he know about the eldest lady?"
"Haha, Lao Wang, this is your fault. You are already with us, why don't you be more active and ask for more information?" Qiao Xiaopang said with a smile.
"A villain... I'm not a villain either..." Wang Liu was miserable and couldn't say anything. He wanted to say, "I'm not with you," but he didn't dare to say this.
According to Wang Liu's original thoughts, he did not want to offend Yue Xifeng and the Song family, so on the one hand he did not let his cousin report to the Song family, on the other hand, after knowing that his cousin reported to Meng Shixiong, he did not dare to report it to the Song family.
Yue Xifeng complained. However, at this critical moment, his contradictory mentality of sitting on the fence was the most serious thing. In Zhao Buming's case,
Under the coercion and inducement, Wang Liu could only obediently help the people in the General's Mansion to facilitate their travels, and arranged for a few people to work as humble servants in the City Lord's Mansion, and they also had to come to Baiyun Restaurant from time to time to report to Xia Yu.
Everything was done in secret. During this period, Wang Liu was frightened every day. He was under great psychological pressure and his hair turned gray.
Seeing Wang Liu's face, Xia Yu guessed what he was thinking, smiled faintly, and said: "Old Wang, considering that we have known each other for so long, I still have to remind you that since you have been involved
Now that we have come in, it is impossible to please both sides. The only thing you can do now is to help us properly and not half-heartedly. Only when your young master comes to power will you benefit, otherwise you will wait to be liquidated by Yue Xifeng!
"
"Yes...yes..." Wang Liu also knew that he had no way out. In fact, he had no way out since he didn't capture Zhu Chen before Yue Xifeng to ask for credit. He said with a sad face, "I will definitely help you, little man.
Don’t dare to be half-hearted…”
"That's good..." Xia Yu smiled and patted his shoulder, "Actually, you are very lucky, because you are on the side that will definitely win."
"Yes...yes..." Wang Liu grimaced, but his mood did not get better because of Xia Yu's words. Why do you have to involve me in the affairs of big shots like you? Why do you have to involve me in such a fatal matter?
What about me? I just want to make a living...
Xia Xia Yu smiled and said, "Okay, you can go back and tell us if there is any new situation."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Wang Liu nodded helplessly and left with a grimace.
…
After Wang Liu and the restaurant boy had left, Qiao Xiaopang smacked his lips and said, "I didn't expect that the Diao family was robbed by a thief? Is this a coincidence? His family wouldn't have stopped helping Yue Xifeng because they were busy catching the thief, right?
"
Xia Yu shook his head and said enigmatically: "No, and this is not a coincidence."
"Oh? Then what do you think is going on?" Qiao Xiaopang immediately became energetic.
"If my guess is correct, this was arranged by the Diao family themselves!" Xia Yu smiled and said, "I originally thought they would be reckless, but who knew they also had some strategies? It seems they have some brains here.
People are planning..."
"What do you mean? What are you planning?" Fatty Qiao couldn't understand it any more, "You mean the Diao family arranged for thieves to rob their own home? Why? Are they so full that they have nothing to do?"
"The thief is shouting to catch the thief, just to confuse the public..." Xia Yu smiled mysteriously, "If it was really their plan, it should be Yue Xifeng's turn to be 'unlucky' next."
"I'm sorry, stop showing off!" Qiao Xiaopang urged, "Hurry up and tell me! What do you mean? What does Yue Xifeng mean to be unlucky?"
Xia Yu shrugged and said: "Let me ask you a question, if Yue Xifeng wants to do something bad, what is the easiest way to distance yourself?"
"When you do bad things, distance yourself from yourself..." Qiao Xiaopang thought for a while, "Of course I have to provide evidence of alibi."
"This is somewhat useful..." Xia Yu shook his head, "but for powerful people like Yue Xifeng, it is of little use, because everyone knows that they can make their subordinates do bad things without their own persuasive power.
It’s not strong enough.”
Fatty Qiao nodded, "It makes sense..."
Xia Xia Yu smiled and said, "Although King Xia is not in office now, there are still people in charge of affairs in Xia Capital. Yue Xifeng must be worried that if Xia Capital finds out that Yue Xiaolin's death is related to her, right?"
