Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 369 Win-Win
Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan are going to Liangcheng to meet Zhou Yuxuan, and the fastest way to get to Liangcheng is by boat.

It just so happened that Tang Lianyu was also planning to go to Liangcheng, so the two of them simply boarded the merchant ship of Tangfeng Trading Company. Not only did they have a comfortable stay, but there were also people to take care of their food and drinks on the way. How great was that.

As the big ship started, Silk City gradually drifted away. Yang Yiyi walked to the stern carrying a fishing rod, wanting to go fishing to pass the time.

As soon as she went over, she saw Tang Lianyu standing there, seeming to sprinkle something powdery into the water, and finally threw the pottery jar in her hand into the water as well.

"Miss Yang, are you coming to fish? The big grass carp near Silk City are famous."

Tang Lianyu also noticed Yang Yiyi and greeted her with an impeccable smile.

Yang Yiyi nodded, took a few steps closer and said hesitantly;
"Ms. Tang, I have something I would like to verify."

"what's up?"

"Miss, did you know what Mr. Liu did from the beginning?"

As expected of a young lady from the Tang family who had been following the caravan in public since she was a child, Tang Lianyu's expression did not change at all.

"how you said that?"

"It's just a guess. You knew it from the beginning. You should have heard it from the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix."

Tang Lianyu's pupils shrank slightly, but the expression on her face remained flawless.

"When did Lady Yang start to doubt me?"

"From the beginning."

Yes, I suspected it from the beginning.

To be precise, it was Li Chengxi who began to suspect Tang Lianyu from the beginning.

The cause of the whole incident was that Tang Lianyu said that he wanted to invite Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan to go to the mountain temple outside the city to find the crazy monk Du Chun. Because Du Chun would not easily show up in front of people, only people in the martial arts world could find him, so he asked Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan to go.

There was nothing wrong with the request itself, but after Li Chengxi listened to Qin Yan's explanation about Du Chun, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Du Chun's whereabouts are erratic and he appears and disappears like a ghost. How does Tang Lianyu, the eldest daughter of a merchant family, know about him?
Later, it was heard that Du Chun made a bet with the Thousand Faces Phoenix that Du Chun could not get within ten miles of the Thousand Faces Phoenix.

There is nothing wrong with the bet itself, but how does the Thousand Faced Fierce Phoenix know whether Du Chun has kept his promise and not come close?
In other words, the Thousand-Faced Phoenix has a way to find Du Chun's exact location.

Since Tang Lianyu and Thousand Faced Fierce Phoenix both know Du Chun’s exact location, is there a possibility that Thousand Faced Fierce Phoenix has some connection with Tang Lianyu?

As more and more clues were found, Li Chengxi felt that Tang Lianyu might know all the details, and these details might have been told to her by Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix.

The evidence is simple.

Both victims had talked with the murderer for some time before their deaths, and both left behind molds of warehouse keys as life-saving talismans.

Because the most important point in Mr. Liu's plan was to prove that the Wen family had privately stored the tribute, and the original plan was to stuff the tribute into the Wen family's warehouse.

However, if there is evidence that the key to the Wen family warehouse is in the hands of a third party, it means there is a possibility of frame-up, which will add variables to the plan and may even lead to it being in vain.

This is why molds can serve as life-saving talismans.

However, the life-saving talisman did not play the role it should have, and the two people were still killed.

There is no way they didn't use the life-saving talisman to negotiate with the murderer, and the murderer didn't care.

If you think about it more deeply, since the murderer had a conversation with the deceased, it means that the murderer and the deceased knew each other.

Judging from the place where the Qing family servant died, he must have made many secret contacts here. Even if Master Liu did not come in person, he must have sent trustworthy subordinates, who must know some information about Master Liu's plan.

If that’s the case, why is the life-saving talisman useless?

The last suspicious point is that although Master Liu has some martial arts skills, he cannot kill people with a swift sword or strong finger force. If there are really people under his command who can do these things, how could they watch Master Liu being pinned to the ground by Yang Yiyi during the fight at the silk factory outside the city?

Combining the above doubts, Li Chengxi suspected that it was Master Liu who asked Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix to kill people, and Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix disguised himself as the person who contacted the deceased. However, Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix did not care whether Master Liu's plan could succeed, so the life-saving talisman did not play its due role.

Continuing to infer, since Qianmian Xiongfeng knew about the life-saving talisman and was suspected of having contact with Tang Lianyu, it was not surprising that Tang Lianyu knew the whole situation. Even if he didn't know all the details, he still knew the general situation. Yang Yiyi explained Li Chengxi's speculation to Tang Lianyu bit by bit. The latter listened very seriously and clapped his hands:

"Miss Yang is very thoughtful, but this is not what you thought. Is it because someone else gave you advice?"

Tang Lianyu has been doing business with a caravan since he was young, and he believes that he has some ability to judge people.

I have already seen through Yang Yiyi's character. Such meticulous reasoning could not have come from her.

"There is no such thing as an expert. I am just imagining things."

Yang Yiyi hurried to explain, but she was really not good at lying, and even the children could see that her eyes were wandering.

Tang Lianyu didn't point it out, she just nodded and smiled;
"So be it."

It was a bit dangerous to continue talking about this topic, so Yang Yiyi changed the subject:

"Where is Senior Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix now?"

"under."

"In the cabin?"

"No, it's in the water. What I just scattered were the ashes of the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix."

"Forehead……"

"People in the martial arts world say that the Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix has strange forms and kills people without blinking an eye, but they don't know that she is already on her last legs and about to die."

Tang Lianyu shook her head gently and said:

"I had some interactions with Qianmian Xiongfeng by chance. When she came to Silk City, she took the initiative to find me and wanted me to help her expose Mr. Liu's conspiracy."

"Why?"

"After decades of roaming the martial arts world, the last time I killed someone was to help Young Master complete his conspiracy. Wouldn't it be uneasy to die in peace?"

The Thousand-Faced Evil Phoenix kills people for free. If it likes you, it will give you a chance to help you kill three people.

This is the code of conduct of the Thousand Faced Fierce Phoenix, but unexpectedly, when he got old, he would end up backfiring.

Perhaps it was because he didn't want to commit more sins, or perhaps the people in the martial arts world didn't want to help the government with their conspiracy, but Thousand Faced Evil Phoenix didn't want to break the rules he set, so he told Tang Lianyu about it.

Before, Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan came back from the mountain temple and went to Tang Lianyu to report that the crazy monk Du Chun didn't want to help. Tang Lianyu made an excuse and left first. At that time, she went to cremate the body of the Thousand-Faced Evil Phoenix.

"I was wrong for not explaining it in advance. But judging from the result, Lady Yang has already gotten what she wanted. Am I wrong?"

Tang Lianyu smiled slightly, bowed to Yang Yiyi again, and walked away gracefully.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Yiyi took out the jade sceptre and asked:

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

"This woman is not simple."

Throughout the whole thing, Tang Lianyu never showed up, and didn't even contribute, but she not only achieved her goal but also got benefits.

Both the Wen and Qing families knew that it was Tang Lianyu who sent Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan. This was a favor. If the Tang family needed raw silk in the future, the two families would have to squeeze out enough share even if they had to, otherwise they would be ungrateful.

Moreover, Tang Lianyu did not offend anyone. After all, the people who did this were mainly Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan, two people from the martial arts world. Young Master Liu and his father could not be blamed on her, and it had no impact on Tangfeng Company.

Even though Yang Yiyi revealed the truth, she still had no ill feelings towards Tang Lianyu. The reason was simple: Yang Yiyi did get what she wanted.

There is a chance to thaw the relationship between the two families, and it is not impossible for Wen Yun and Qing Liu to get married. Moreover, they have received thanks from the two families. It is indeed not Tang Lianyu's fault for keeping silent. To a large extent, the whole thing was what Yang Yiyi wanted to do herself.

She gained the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, worthy of being the daughter of a big businessman.
