Soon, another four days passed, and Jiang Beiran brought Wu Qingce and the others to the last box again.
Because today will be Gu Qinghuan's second meeting with Wen Yunyan to discuss the results of the investigation.
The importance is far higher than last time, after all, it depends on today's success.
The time they agreed on was Shen Shi, but before the time came, the door of the box was pushed open.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Wen Yunyan walked to the wine table with strong steps, looked straight at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "You said you have already investigated the cause of my elder brother's death!?"
"Yes." Without any ambiguity or uncertain words, Gu Qinghuan nodded and replied directly.
"Tell me!" Wen Yunyan shouted with his hands on the table.
"The mastermind behind the scenes is the Shen family."
Hearing Gu Qinghuan answer so readily, Wen Yunyan calmed down instead.
Letting go of the square table, Wen Yunyan let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the seat opposite Gu Qinghuan.
"The... Shen family in Cangxi County?"
Gu Qinghuan nodded, "That's right, it's the Shen family who is generous and generous."
After listening to Gu Qinghuan's answer, Wen Yunyan frowned tightly, "We have no grudges with the Shen family in the past, we have no grudges in recent days, and we walked around a few times last year, why did they do this?"
Seeing that Wen Yunyan was not in a hurry to deny this matter, Gu Qinghuan knew that communicating with this person in front of him would be as easy as he imagined.
So Gu Qinghuan picked up the jug, filled a glass of wine and pushed it towards Wen Yunyan, saying: "Before I tell you everything, Mr. Wen, shouldn't we talk about the compensation first?"
Taking the wine glass pushed by Gu Qinghuan, Wen Yunyan said straightforwardly: "No problem, as I said before, as long as you can investigate the cause of my elder brother's death, I can give you whatever you want."
"Okay, what I want is the Zhanri Liu in your hand, Mr. Wen."
After hearing this, Wen Yunyan frowned again, he drank the wine in his glass, then fixedly stared at Gu Qinghuan and said: "You should understand the importance of Zhan Riliu to me."
"Yes, I know that all of Mr. Wen's skills and moves are for cutting the sun, but it is also very important for me to get this piece of cutting the sun."
Taking a deep breath, Wen Yunyan looked at Gu Qinghuan seriously again.
"I have to say, you are very courageous. If you speak so loudly, aren't you afraid that I will kill you after I get what I want?"
"I'm not afraid." Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "Since I chose to conduct information transactions with Mr. Wen face-to-face, it is because I believe in Mr. Wen's character. Compared with playing tricks and scheming, I believe that this can guarantee the success of the transaction to the greatest extent."
"Have you investigated me?" Wen Yunyan asked.
"Yes, everyone says you are a ruthless sword that values love and righteousness."
"Hahahahaha!" Wen Yunyan laughed out loud after hearing this, "It's been a long time since no one said this evaluation in front of me, now I know why Guan Laosan and the others strongly recommended you to me, You are indeed a worthy friend."
"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your kindness."
"Okay, it's fine if you want to kill Rilu, but I have one more condition."
"Mr. Wen, please tell me."
"I want you to help me recover my elder brother's blood debt! As long as you are willing to help me, I will give Zhan Riliu to you whether or not this is done in the end."
Hearing this, two options suddenly popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 1: Ask Gu Qinghuan to reject Wen Yunyan's conditions, reward for completion: Candle Dragon Lie Shou (earth-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Read on quietly, completion reward: Random basic attribute points +1]
Seeing this option, Jiang Beiran knew that his goal of guaranteeing the "10%" risk had been achieved.
All that was left was to hand over this matter to Gu Qinghuan, he just had to wait for the result.
After choosing two, Jiang Beiran continued to listen quietly.
"Okay, since Mr. Wen is so happy, I'm not hypocritical, and I will spare no effort to help you deal with the Shen family."
"Happy!" Wen Yunyan slapped the table, took the jug and poured himself a full glass, and then held it up to Gu Qinghuan: "I respect heroes, although I don't know where you are from, but you Everything that happened to me makes me feel that you are worth making friends with, of course, including that you have investigated the cause of my elder brother's death so quickly this time, this cup, I respect you!"
After finishing speaking, Wen Yunyan tilted his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
The reason why Wen Yunyan looked at Gu Qinghuan so highly was of course for various reasons.
But the most important are two.
One is that two of his trusted friends successively recommended this new "observation" to him.
In their town, the job of "observation" can only be performed by people with good eyesight, ears and ears, and he is a foreigner who has only been here for less than half a month. Naturally, he has real skills.
In addition, his friend also described to him in detail a series of things that Gu Qinghuan did after he came to the town. It can be said that each of them reflected his ingenuity.
Therefore, before Wen Yunyan met Gu Qinghuan, he had actually placed him in a relatively high position. Unlike ordinary practitioners who were like reckless men, he was very aware of the importance of "brain".
Otherwise, he would have already rushed to avenge his elder brother.
The second reason that made him look up to Gu Qinghuan was because after the official contact, Gu Qinghuan's calm and unhurried demeanor made people not feel that he was a foreigner at all.
His words and deeds seem to have established a foothold in this small town for a long time, and he is neither humble nor overbearing when facing him. In his impression, anyone who can do this has real skills.
And he likes to deal with people with real skills.
Seeing Wen Yunyan toasting to himself, Gu Qinghuan naturally got up and saluted immediately, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Picking up the jug and filling Wen Yunyan's wine glass, Gu Qinghuan took out a letter and a cloth bag from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Wen Yunyan, "Mr. Wen, please take a look."
"Thank you."
Cupping his hands towards Gu Qinghuan, Wen Yunyan picked up the envelope and read it.
Seeing Wen Yunyan's constantly changing expression, Gu Qinghuan has already started to think about the next plan.
The development of the matter to the present stage is actually similar to what he expected. After conducting an all-round investigation of the third son of the Wen family, Gu Qinghuan is very clear about the importance of Zhan Riliu to him.
Therefore, the possibility of directly switching to Zhan Riliu based on a piece of information is not very high.
Originally, in his plan, he would recommend himself to increase his bargaining chips, but it seemed that because he had done a good job in the past, Wen Yunyan himself proposed it.
"Hoo..."
Taking a long breath, after reading the letter, Wen Yunyan was extremely calm.
Then he opened the cloth bag and took out a jade slip from it, which recorded a conversation about how Lin Yan conspired with his eldest brother when he was negotiating with the Shen family, and the name of the Shen family.
Shen Xiuyong.
"I will find someone to check Lin Yan's handwriting and the Shen Xiuyong recorded in the jade slip." Wen Yunyan took a sip from the wine glass after speaking, and crushed the wine glass with a "snap".
Shaking his hands, Wen Yunyan looked straight at Gu Qinghuan and said, "Actually, as you said, from the moment we saw my eldest brother's body, we thought it was strange, but apart from the Liu family, we couldn't think of anyone else There is a reason, who has the guts to do this to my eldest brother, so we can only find reasons to convince ourselves."
After listening, Gu Qinghuan took another cup and poured wine for Wen Yunyan: "No wonder Mr. Wen was not so surprised when he heard me say that the Liu family didn't do it."
"I did think about countless possibilities, but I never thought it was the Shen family."
Seeing that Wen Yunyan still couldn't accept it, Gu Qinghuan took out a map of Yunzhou and spread it out: "Mr. Wen, please have a look."
After hearing this, Wen Yunyan stood up and looked at the place Gu Qinghuan pointed to.
"Starting from Jinchang County, the Shen family's power has actually been expanding southward, but its way of expansion is different from the conquest that most people understand. It is quietly expanding its territory through a way of penetrating people's hearts."
Next, Gu Qinghuan told Wen Yunyan one by one about the expansion of the Shen family that was investigated. These things are not difficult to find out. After all, in the stories, the Shen family is an absolutely positive image, saving one family after another. The door avoids the situation where the local people are devastated.
"Now the Shen family has obviously completed its layout in the south, and the next is the north." Gu Qinghuan pointed to the location of Ren Wu County on the map: "This is the starting point for the Shen family to expand to the north, and as Ren Wu County The two major families in the county, Mr. Wen's family and the Liu family are definitely the ones they need to fight for."
"Oh, what a fight." Wen Yunyan couldn't help sneering.
"This is the way the Shen family expands. If there is no conflict in the local family, then he will help you to conflict. Only in this way can he come out to uphold justice and preside over the overall situation. Once the local family accepts their favor, their plan will be regarded as a success." It worked."
Looking at the map again, Wen Yunyan found that everything was just as Gu Guanyan said, the Shen family was expanding in a way he couldn't understand, and his elder brother became a man without doing anything. It was the first stepping stone for the Shen family to expand to the north.
How sad!
Up to here, Wen Yunyan has basically believed that this is the truth of his elder brother's death.
Because this is compared to Liu Sizhou who killed his elder brother and made love with him and did not destroy the bodies of the two of them, but had to wait for their family to find out. The reason for the Shen family to do this is much more convincing.
Sitting back on the chair again, Wen Yunyan was silent for a long time, because he knew that when the target of revenge became the Shen family, everything became more difficult.
In the end he gave up thinking, stood up and cupped his hands towards Gu Qinghuan and said, "Gu Jianguan, as I said just now, if you want my Zhanri Liu, it's fine, but you have to help me figure out a way to avenge my elder brother."
"Mr. Wen wants to completely destroy the Shen family?"
After hearing this, Wen Yunyan was taken aback for a moment, then clenched his fists and said: "If Gu Guanguan can really make the Shen family forever! Not only Zhan Riliu, I will also make my father treat you as a guest of honor!"
"Okay, then I will try my best to find a plan for Mr. Wen."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yunyan immediately asked, "Could it be that Gu Jian has a solution in his mind?"
"As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you can never get your shoes wet. Mr. Wen is by no means the first victim of the Shen family's expansion. I believe there are many such cases among the many families in the south. People from the Shen family dare not speak out, but if they can unite and overthrow the Shen family, it will be just around the corner."
"What Gu Jian said is true!"
Up to this moment, Wen Yunyan can be said to have completely succumbed to Gu Guan's scheme, and at the same time, he also knows that if he wants to avenge his elder brother, this Gu Guan is absolutely indispensable.
Then the following conversation will be very easy. Although Wen Yunyan can't say that he has obeyed Gu Qinghuan's advice, he is not far behind.
…
"Okay, then please ask Mr. Wen to take care of these few things first, and then we will proceed to the next step." After explaining the preliminary plan, Gu Qinghuan put away the map and said.
"No problem, leave it to me." Wen Yunyan replied loudly, cupping his hands towards Gu Qinghuan.
From the moment he saw his eldest brother's body, he had always felt powerless and powerless. Now that someone finally showed him the direction, he only felt that his whole body was full of strength.
"I wish everything goes well." Gu Qinghuan raised his wine glass and said to Wen Yunyan.
"It's going to go well, the Shen family... must die!"
After Wen Yunyan finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and touched Gu Qinghuan.
After drinking the wine, Wen Yunyan cupped his hands towards Gu Qinghuan and said, "Then I'll go to Haixu Town now, and I'll notify you as soon as I'm ready, goodbye!"
After speaking, he rushed out the door.
When Wen Yunyan left completely, Jiang Beiran took off his clothes and sat down at the wine table.
"Are you planning to turn the entire Yunzhou upside down? If it's just to avenge Wen Yunyan, there should be a way to make it less noisy."
Judging from Wen Yunyan's performance, Jiang Beiran knew that he also understood that the Shen family was difficult to deal with, so killing someone for his life was regarded as revenge for his elder brother.
And whoever wants to pay for this life is naturally the owner of the voice in the jade slip, Shen Xiuyong.
But Gu Qinghuan seemed to take advantage of the trend to make things worse and reshuffle the entire Yunzhou.
Gu Qinghuan naturally knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts from his senior brother, so he immediately cupped his hands and replied, "As senior brother said, I really want to make a big change in this Yunzhou."
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing this, poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Want to stand here and become my outpost in the future?"
"Senior brother is wise."
Looking at Gu Qinghuan who lowered his head, Jiang Beiran knew that he was asking for performance.
Throwing him in the self-enchantment before as a "perpetual motion machine" did suffocate him, so it is only natural for him to want a bigger platform to reflect his value.
"Okay, be ambitious." Jiang Beiran waved behind him after finishing speaking, looked at Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze who came over and said, "This is a good experience for you, from now on, you will follow Qing Let's act together."
"Yes!" Both of them cupped their hands at the same time.
