When old friends meet, they are extremely jealous. 2.0

Shopkeeper Cao lived on the outskirts of the capital, and when the city gate was ambushed, he didn't need to go through an extra layer of patrols to hide there in advance.

It's just that Xu Muzhou couldn't figure it out a bit. Since his legs were inconvenient, how did he escape safely after the ambush?Anyway, with Shi Daoqing's and Kong Ye's eyesight, neither of them found any traces of such a handicapped No. [-] person on the scene.

However, Xu Muzhou was not in a hurry to settle the matter, but found a short square stool by himself, sat down and rested his feet, and asked, "Master Cao, are you from Xiliang?"

"So what?" The eyes that were vacant under the gauze contained only a puddle of stagnant water.

I don't know what happened to this shopkeeper Cao. He was dead from head to toe, as if he didn't even consider himself a living person.

"Then shopkeeper Cao, have you heard of the "Safflower Club"? "Xu Muzhou said again, "Can you know my Lord Qiantui, Jin Yuxian who is next to His Majesty the Emperor?" "

"How is your relationship?"

Xu Muzhou's previous sentence was still going around in circles, but the latter sentence directly pointed out the meaning of his visit. He knew that the shopkeeper Cao and Jin Qiantui had a close relationship, and he was beating each other——I know, far more than you can imagine. .

Sure enough, the pool of stagnant water in Shopkeeper Cao's eyes seemed to be stirred up a little.

But Xu Muzhou smiled and said: "Master Cao, you don't have to try so hard to fool me." Xu Muzhou will not be fooled, if this shopkeeper Cao is really an important person who sneaked into the Central Plains from Xiliang, and with him Jin Yuxian had colluded with each other, so how could Xu Muzhou trick him out so easily?

He clearly wanted to use his strength to make Xu Muzhou firmly believe in his identity as a so-called "Xiliang native".

"You are not from Xiliang. Although all the people who work for you in Mingying Building are descendants of Xiliang warriors, you are not."

Xu Muzhou was very sure: "I don't know exactly what Master Chitose is planning, but he will definitely not let a "foreigner" take the position of management. "

"Because that's not conducive to his manipulation. Even though, those people are his "allies." "

After several fights, Xu Muzhou has a pretty close understanding of Jin Yuxian's style of dealing with people.In addition, after discussing with Shen Yi, the two agreed that the so-called shopkeeper of Mingling Building must be one of Jin Yuxian's Red Flower Club members.

That's why Xu Muzhou used the excuse that he had almost become the chief rudder of the Red Flower Society to ask to meet the shopkeeper Cao.

It's just that the other party should have been prepared for a long time and didn't accept his tricks.

In fact, it is very simple to know whether shopkeeper Cao is a member of the Red Flower Society. To truly become a member of the Red Flower Society, one has to go through a prelude to "purification".

It's a pity that Xu Muzhou is not so mad, he is already disabled, so he can't bully the weak, take off his pants to check.

After verifying his integrity, he still has other methods.Xu Muzhou said again: "When I was in Pianzhou, in the Wuji Villa, I once asked the dead Jiang Touer a question."

"If I'm disobedient, will they have to use their swords to get rid of me? Then why did I have to come to the capital from Xialiang County in the first place, and it's a big circle for anyone to lose."

"Unless..." Xu Muzhou stared at Shopkeeper Cao and lowered his voice: "They have already found another replacement, even if they get rid of me, it won't affect Jin Qiansui's plan."

"Shopkeeper Cao, if I guessed correctly, you should now take over the position of Jiang Touer's sub-rudder master. Or, have you become the chief helm master?"

"It seems that Jin Qiantui really knows people with his eyes. With shopkeeper Cao behind him, it's no wonder that Lord Qiantui looks down on me."

Jin Qiansui was rigorous and calculating, Xu Muzhou always felt strange when he first visited Pianzhou.

If Jin Yuxian regarded him as an abandoned son easily, then he didn't need to make so much effort at the beginning, forcing him to come to the capital with both kindness and force.

The only explanation is that Xu Muzhou's use value is not the only one. Jin Yuxian must have prepared other people.

Once Xu Muzhou "doesn't work well", he can replace him at any time.That's why Jin Yuxian was so straightforward, he was well prepared.This is also extremely in line with Jin Yuxian's behavior style.

Then the shopkeeper Cao in front of him is naturally someone who can replace Xu Muzhou and be used by Jin Yuxian.

Shopkeeper Cao suddenly let out a long laugh, his voice was hoarse and dry, and when he laughed, it was strangely sharp, like the neighing of an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

But Xu Muzhou was indifferent, and continued to confide: "At the beginning, I didn't understand that I, a commoner, have any use value for Jin Qiansui? But I have figured it out recently. Isn't the most special thing about me the status of "Xu Family Shuzi"? "

In fact, Xu Zishan, the number one noble merchant in the capital, the owner of the Xu family, was not born a nobleman. It is said that he once ran across the rivers and lakes and lived a miserable life.

And the reason why he was able to make a fortune and become the richest person in Fengguo in one fell swoop, and even in the difficult year when natural disasters frequently occurred, he saved the lives of tens of millions of Li people with wealth that was incomparable to the country, I heard that all of this has to be paid for. Thanks to Xu Zishan who found a fortune.

In the era of division and desolation, an unknown royal family buried a huge treasure in a barren mountain.

As for Xu Zishan, he was the one who was lucky enough to meet this treasure.

Of course, this is also a legend that Xu Muzhou has only heard recently.It just doesn't rule out that other people may believe this statement, and then covet the Xu family's treasure.

After all, it is unknown whether people die for money.

That's why Xu Muzhou, a commoner who can't carry it on his shoulders or hands, is inexplicably involved in the center of the vortex of multi-party struggles.Because he is a concubine, the Xu family treats him badly, if they can use him for their own use, then there will be a smooth way for the great treasure who plots against the Xu family.

"It's just that a smart person like Jin Yuxian wouldn't bet all his treasures on one chess piece, so he found another chess piece, which is you, shopkeeper Cao."

Seeing Xu Muzhou's eloquent talk, shopkeeper Cao was convinced that he was definitely not here just to find his sister today.

"Shopkeeper Cao, you have done a very good job. You planted traitors around Xu Xiuyu, which caused Xu Xiuyu's business to decline steadily, and even brought the entire Xu family into crisis."

"In this way, you can take advantage of the void and arrange more of your own manpower to search for the treasure while destroying the Xu family from the inside out, and make contributions to Jin Qiantui."

Shopkeeper Cao didn't answer yes or no, as if he didn't care about what Xu Muzhou said, but just glanced at him with the end of his eyes, "I've been away for 12 years, they didn't care about your life, now you're catching up It's really cheap to worry about others."

Xu Muzhou smiled: "Shopkeeper Cao seems to know me very well, this one exit just hit my sore spot."

"So let me tell you, Shopkeeper Cao and I must be old acquaintances. After all... chess pieces must have similarities in order to be placed in the same position."

Xu Muzhou's implication at this time finally brought Shopkeeper Cao's attention, because it was related to Shopkeeper Cao's true face hidden under the gauze all over his body.

This is his biggest secret, and it is also Jin Yuxian's most carefully guarded one. Ordinarily, Xu Muzhou shouldn't know about it.

But Xu Muzhou's current aura is obviously known, and must be exposed.

"The people around Xu Xiuyu are all personally selected by the old man. If he wants to be his eyeliner, he must not only know how to disguise himself, but also have a deep understanding of these old people."

Xu Muzhou stood up and took a step towards Manager Cao's desk, "This disguise technique must not be difficult for those capable people in the Western Regions."

"However, when it comes to understanding the Xu family so deeply, I, a bastard who has been homeless for 12 years, think that I can't do it. So, who can do it?"

Shopkeeper Cao couldn't move his legs, but at this moment, Xu Muzhou still felt his whole body tense up.

If it weren't for his disability, he would definitely jump up and break Xu Muzhou's neck desperately.

In fact, the answer is already there.

"More than a year ago, when I was still in Xialiang County, someone carefully plotted to take away my property, but failed. Then the person who initiated this incident was escorted back to Beijing for violating the law."

"It turned out to be on this road and fell off a cliff. But... the officials didn't find his body, and he may not necessarily be dead..."

"Treasurer Cao, right?"

In fact, it shouldn't be called "Treasurer Cao". After all, even if the appearance has changed beyond recognition, the blood in the bones cannot be changed.

If there is a blood test at the scene, the new skin used by Shopkeeper Cao to cover up his true face will fall off, and his real identity is exactly the fake third son Xu Xuanyang who has fallen off the cliff.

Shopkeeper Cao untied the gauze wrapped around his face, and saw that under the gauze was smooth skin, without any scars or signs of damage.

It's just that this face doesn't match Xu Xuanyang's face at all.Even if Xu Muzhou tied him to court, he would not be able to determine any guilt.

And shopkeeper Cao did this because silence speaks louder than words.

He wants to tell Xu Muzhou that with his current face, he is not afraid that Xu Muzhou will say that he is anyone else.

Fortunately, Xu Muzhou didn't intend to force him to confess, "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, I didn't come here today to recognize my relatives."

Shopkeeper Cao looked at him fiercely, and Xu Muzhou decided to explain to him kindly: "I'm sorry, I just came to find my sister. As an elder brother, how can I ignore my sister's suffering?"

With a pun, Xu Muzhou was pointing at him. Even though he wore another body and changed his identity, he and Xu Shuangtan were still brothers and sisters of the same father and mother.

It was also for this reason that Xu Shuangtan did not suffer any physical pain after being captured in Mingling Building, but was only placed under house arrest under this simple wooden house.

——Probably a capable man who knew how to use tricks, dug a secret passage and built a secret room under the field, where Xu Shuangtan and A Yuan were locked up.

While Xu Muzhou was dealing with the storekeeper Cao, the experts of the Shadow River League had already figured out the position and snatched the two of them out.
