Chapter 876 It’s really useless
Shen Shuyi looked at Jiuchou and asked again: "Are you sure the Second Elder is dead? Where are his subordinates?"
"He's dead. I killed him with my own hands. The body is outside." There was still blood on Jiuchou's face. His eyes were shining, as if he was waiting for Shen Shuyi's praise.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said seriously: "Thank you for your hard work."
"His subordinate Miao Zheng is leading a cleanup operation. Some of them have confessed their crimes and surrendered, saying that they were coerced and bribed by the Second Elder. Some others seem to be controlled by a poisonous insect, which has not yet been resolved, and are still confronting Miao Zheng's men."
Shen Shuyi nodded: "The rest of the people are nothing to worry about, but his son, I heard he is a rare master, we still need to keep a close eye on him."
Li Ye said immediately: "Leave it to me, I will lead people to chase him, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground to find him!"
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi said no more. After all, these were all internal affairs of the Li people. As long as they did not become Xiao Tingshan's helpers and did not affect the war between Daqian and Yuanxia, Shen Shuyi did not care about their affairs.
"Jiuchou, have you found what I asked you to find?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Jiuchou nodded, took out a stack of letters from his arms, and handed them to Shen Shuyi: "Found it, just as Miss expected, the Second Elder really kept these things."
After Shen Shuyi took it, she read it carefully. Although these letters were not signed and even the handwriting was changed, she was familiar with Xiao Tingshan's handwriting and could still tell from some subtle habits that it was his handwriting.
When Xiao Tingshan had a falling out with Li Ye and the Sixth Elder's lineage, he set his sights on the Li clan.
He first sent people to lobby and promised a lot of benefits.
But the people he sent alone were not enough to gain the trust of the Second Elder's lineage. On some matters, the people he sent were unable to make up their minds.
In this case, the two of them would inevitably exchange letters.
In other words, at least there should be something that can gain the other party's trust.
However, Xiao Tingshan was very cautious, so he neither signed his name nor changed the font. Shen Shuyi speculated that these letters must have come with a lot of sincere things.
Xie Jingchi retracted his gaze and looked at the saint of the Li clan in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "What did Xiao Tingshan promise the Li people at that time? In other words, what benefits did the Li people get?"
The Saint of the Li Tribe frowned and was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know the relationship between the Second Elder and Daqian, but I can guess that he has connections with Daqian and Yuanxia. As for the benefits you mentioned, I don't know. I only know..."
"A while ago, the Second Elder got a lot of food and weapons for our Li clan. These things seem to have come from Daqian."
"Let's take a look." Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice.
The Saint seemed to be in a dilemma, and Li Miao advised her, "Saint, wavering will only offend both sides. The Second Elder's back-and-forth between Daqian and Yuanxia will only drag our Li clan into an abyss of no return."
Li Ye nodded: "Princess Mingzhu has a broad mind and is extremely intelligent. If we get her help, she will be able to keep our Li clan safe."
Li Ye's words made the saint make up her mind.
They are right. Trying to please both sides will only offend both sides.
What's more, the two people in front of him are clearly the future emperor and empress of Daqian. There is really no better opportunity than this.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Having made up her mind, the Li Saint did not hesitate any longer and took her group to the stored food and weapons depot.
Nothing could be seen about the food and fodder, as there were no traces on the bags used to hold them.
But Xie Jingchi recognized the weapons. They were all Daqian's weapons.
However, these are weapons eliminated by Daqian. They should have been scrapped and re-smelted.
It’s just obvious that these things were transferred to the Li tribe.
Shen Shuyi examined it carefully and found that most of the traces of Daqian's casting had been erased. It seemed that Xiao Tingshan had given the order.
But there are quite a few of these weapons, but the people below are not doing their job seriously.
At first glance, although the traces of Daqian's casting on many weapons have been erased, they have not been erased completely, and the unique mark of Daqian's forging can still be seen.
Even if he picked carefully, Shen Shuyi could find many writings that had never been processed.
"We in the Li tribe have almost no weapons, and we are not good at them, so we mostly buy some from the bordering cities. However, the things forged privately by the people are ultimately inferior to those used by the army. The second elder took back these weapons and food a few days ago, and his reputation in the tribe soared."
Shen Shuyi looked carefully and found that the grains were not really fine grains, but they were good enough for ordinary people.
No wonder the Second Elder would reach a cooperation with Xiao Tingshan.
What's more, Xiao Tingshan is a man who always makes big promises, and he is determined to promise the Second Elder a bright future.
"The Second Elder and his group poisoned the water in Liangzhou. This not only harmed the soldiers of Daqian, but also hurt many of our civilians. Many people in the clan opposed this move, but the Second Elder openly denied it, and we had no way to do anything about it." The Saint Girl spoke slowly. It was obvious that she was powerless against the Second Elder's lineage.
"What agreement did he reach with Yuan Xia?" Xie Jingchi asked.
The Saint shook her head: "I don't know."
Xie Jingchi sneered and said, "You are really useless as a saint."
The saint's face flushed red, and several attendants around her frowned and stepped forward, wanting to speak, but were stopped by him.
"I only know that the Second Elder took the initiative to write a letter to their commander-in-chief. I think it is related to the poisoning of the water."
Shen Shuyi said calmly: "We are also very clear about this. I want you to continue writing letters to the Yuanxia generals, take over the lineage of the second elder, and continue to cooperate with them."
The Saint frowned: "Me?"
"That's right. This time we sneak into the Li tribe and kill the second elder's lineage. The news is bound to leak out. So if we use their names again, the Yuanxia army may not believe it. In this case, we might as well borrow the name of the saint." Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice.
The Saint frowned: "But they may not believe it."
The next moment, a cold light flashed, and Xie Jingchi drew out Ye Lan's sword and stabbed it at the saint's shoulder. His movement was so fast that no one could react at all.
The bright red blood spread, and the Saint Lady and her group looked grim.
Several attendants drew their weapons, and Jiuchou and his group did the same. For a moment, the two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Xie Jingchi looked calm and said coldly, "In this way, they will believe that the Saint Lady has a legitimate reason and hates us to the core, so she wants to join forces with Yuan Xia to severely damage Liangzhou City in revenge."
The saint covered her shoulder and her face turned pale.
"I believe the Saint will have a way to make everyone present keep their mouths shut." Xie Jingchi said coldly, and his words were full of majesty that left no room for questioning.
