Chapter 267 2 Heads
Yun Fuling snorted, "You still have to thank me."
"If I had come a few days later, you would be so injured that even a god couldn't save you!"
Zhao Xuesi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, thanks to my sister-in-law for coming in time and saving my life!"
Seeing that he was still smiling as usual, Yun Fuling couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems that the assassin that the Wen family is searching the whole city for should be you and the person who accidentally made the noise."
Zhao Xuesi nodded, "It should be."
"But I have no idea about the death of the second in command of the Jinyu Tower."
"After being discovered that night, I started a fight with the people from Jinyulou. It was a mess at the time. In order to escape, I also killed a few people from Jinyulou. But I don't know if the second in command was among them."
"No word of what Wen Zhao and the other two discussed that night can be leaked."
"Otherwise, no matter what the charges are, the Wen family will be confiscated and charged!"
Yun Fuling thought for a moment and said, "So from Wen Zhao's and the others' perspective, you and the other assassin most likely heard their conversation that night."
"It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go, so they must kill you to silence you."
"That second in command might really have died at your hands, or it might just be a cover-up. You can then openly search the entire city to find out where you and the assassin are, and then kill you both. That way, you don't have to worry about leaks."
Zhao Xuesi nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, you are right. Otherwise, it was just the second in command of Jinyulou who died, not the master or young master of the direct line of the Wen family. Is it necessary to conduct such a large-scale city-wide search?"
At this point, he couldn't help but frowned, "I've always found it strange. This Jinyu Tower isn't some bandit den, so why is there a title like Second in Command?"
Generally, titles like "big boss" and "second in command" are used among the green forest.
The Wen family is a noble family with a history of hundreds of years. Even though they run a gambling business, they should not use this kind of address to address the manager of the Jinyu Tower.
Li Yuan spoke up at the right time and explained: "Mr. Zhao San, you don't know that the original owner of the Jinyu Tower was a group of robbers who occupied the mountain and were the leaders of the bandits, a pair of brothers."
"One year, they kidnapped the eldest master of the Wen family and wanted to use him to exchange for a high ransom from the Wen family."
"I don't know what method the eldest master of the Wen family used to make the two bandit brothers give up their evil ways and do good."
"It just so happened that the imperial court also wanted to recruit them, so they gave them a small punishment and a big warning, and dispersed all the people in the bandit camp and incorporated them into the army."
"The bandit brothers and a few other bandits who didn't want to join the military camp insisted on following Master Wen."
"Master Wen then bailed them out to the government office and kept them by his side to work."
"The Jinyulou has since been under the Wen family's name, and has gradually grown from a small gambling house to the largest gambling house in Jinzhou."
"Anyone who comes to Jinzhou for sightseeing will feel that they have come to Jinzhou in vain if they don't visit Jinyulou."
"The two bandit brothers are the chief and second chief stewards of the Jinyu Tower."
"But everyone in Jinzhou City knows their origins. Sometimes their former brothers can't change their ways and still call them the Big Boss and the Second Boss."
"Gradually, everyone started shouting like this, and no one was afraid of it anymore."
"Besides, with these two masters in charge of the Jinyu Tower, who would dare to cause trouble in the Jinyu Tower?"
"So the reputation of the first and second in command has become more and more famous."
"But the big boss died of illness a few years ago, and the remaining second-in-command also died a few days ago."
"I think the death of this second-in-command was not just to create a name to search for the assassin."
Li Yuan’s last sentence was very meaningful.
Yun Fuling understood immediately and continued, "Jinyu Tower has always been managed by the first and second bosses. They gave up evil and turned to good because of Master Wen."
"I guess the first and second in command took Jinyulou to seek refuge with Master Wen."
"It can be said that Jinyulou has been in the hands of the eldest wife for these years."
"Even if the first boss dies of illness, the Jinyu Tower still has the second boss to support it. The second boss used to be a bandit, and he and Master Wen built the Jinyu Tower together. Naturally, he has great prestige in the Jinyu Tower."
"Now that Master Wen has died unexpectedly, his only son, Master Wen, is bedridden and doesn't care about anything."
"All the affairs of the Wen family are taken over by the second branch. I believe that the people of the second branch are very coveted by the Jinyu Building."
"But with the second in command being a stumbling block who is loyal to the first wife, it will be extremely difficult for the second wife to completely control the Jinyu Tower."
"In this case, getting rid of the second in command is the easiest way."
"Killing two birds with one stone, the second branch of the Wen family is really good at scheming!"
When Zhao Xuesi heard this, he suddenly realized.
He originally thought that the second in command was one of the thugs who fought with him in Jinyulou that night.
Maybe he killed the second in command that night in order to escape.
Afterwards, Jin Yulou used this as an excuse to search the whole city for him.
I didn't expect there was such a complicated conspiracy behind it.
It seems that the information they found out earlier was correct. The Wen family is really infighting internally!
However, Yun Fuling had just arrived in Jinzhou and didn't know as much information as he did, but she could figure out all the twists and turns in the story. She was really smart.
No wonder Xiao Jingyi fell in love with Yun Fuling at first sight and was determined to marry her as his principal wife at all costs.
Xiao Jingyi has such a good eye!
Yun Fuling got a lot of useful information from Zhao Xuesi. She estimated that she had been here for quite some time, so she kept the medicine that she needed to change in the next few days.
He also asked Li Yuan to take care of Zhao Xuesi.
"These pills are for internal use, one a day. This bottle of medicine is for applying to wounds, just change the medicine once a day."
"He will stay with you for the time being. Please take care of him."
Yun Fuling reminded them one by one.
Li Yuan quickly responded, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely take good care of Mr. Zhao San."
When Yun Fuling heard him address her like that, she knew that he had seen through her identity.
She nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Zhao Xuesi showed a somewhat reluctant look on his face.
Seeing this, Yun Fuling slapped him on the shoulder.
"Although the situation is not as tense now, the Wen family must still be looking for the assassin that night."
"You just happened to be seen by them. Do you believe that as soon as you show up, the people of the Wen family will get the news?"
"Besides, I'm staying in an inn right now. It's a busy place, so it's not suitable to take you there."
"Besides, you are still injured. Stay here and heal your wounds first!"
