Thinking of this, Xu Bai rubbed his chin and flipped to the second page.
The contents of the second page appeared on the paper.
[My bargaining chip is actually very simple. First, I will tell you which forces are targeting you.]
[There is only one local family, the Tong family.]
[As for those outside the local area, there are many different factions here.
These factions are actually not a threat to Lord Xu.]
[Most importantly, our leader didn’t even tell us what he did.]
[But he is extremely confident that he can completely destroy you, including the entire Fenghua State.]
‘ Another thing is that the leader seems to be waiting for an opportunity. If there are any changes in the Fenghua Province during this period of time, Lord
Xu must pay more attention.]
At this point, everything was over.
Xu Bai handed the paper in his hand to Ye Zi.””See if you have any ideas?”
Ye Zi took it curiously. After scanning it from top to bottom, she placed the paper on the table. She frowned slightly as if she was thinking.
After about half an incense’s time, Ye Zi finally spoke.
“Young Master, I don’t know if what he said is true or false. We need to consider two things.”
“If what she said is true, then she’s helping us. If it’s fake, then she’s baiting us.”
‘ No matter what, we need to investigate the Fenghua State family mentioned in the letter, as well as the leader and the recent changes that he said happened in Fenghua State.” “We need to consider these points.”
Ye Zi said logically.
Xu Bai praised,”Not bad, you thought the same as I did.””
Truth and falsehood required two considerations, but now there was an order placed in front of them.
He would first go and take a look at this so-called Tong family and verify how much of what they said was true and how much was false.
Ye Zi asked,” Young Master, should we investigate openly or secretly? If it’s an open investigation, the two of us are enough. If it’s a secret investigation, we need to monitor it at all times. I’m afraid the two of us aren’t enough. Should we ask the state magistrate to help?””
Xu Bai said,” In this situation, it’s not good to investigate openly. The state is different from the government. The state’s situation is even more complicated, so we need to investigate secretly. As for how to investigate secretly, I don’t need the state’s order’s help. I just need to find the Jiang family. ‘”‘
He didn’t want to look for the Prefecture Magistrate because he wasn’t sure if the Prefecture Magistrate was one of those pedantic scholars. It wouldn’t be good to look for him under such circumstances. Therefore, it was better to look for the Jiang family. After all, the Jiang family had already expressed their intentions and wanted to join.
Actually, there was something he didn’t say. Whether it was in the open or in the dark, it was fine. Since the other party dared to spread this information, it would be very easy for Xu Bai to find out. Therefore, whether it was in the open or in the dark, it was effective.
The reason why he wanted to come secretly was to give the Jiang family a chance. To be precise, he wanted the Emperor to reward more people.
It was not for anything else, but to make the emperor lose money.
From the beginning to the present, Xu Bai felt that he had made a lot of money. After all, there were so many nameless sword scriptures.
But up until now, Xu Bai felt that he had suffered a loss again, especially the last time when he had inexplicably entered the Bizarre Demon City. He felt that he had suffered a loss, so he was a little unhappy. He had to ask the emperor to spend money.
Moreover, he wasn’t the one who rewarded him. Anvone who didn’t use it
would be a fool.
“If we discover that this clan is colluding with those people…” Xu Bai reached out his hand and rubbed his neck. His meaning was simple.
“Let’s go to the Jiang family now.”
With a countermeasure, Xu Bai naturally had to take action.
Soon, he brought Ye Zi to the Jiang family’s residence. After entering the house, the Jiang family’s head welcomed him warmly.
“Lord Xu, why did you come all the way to look for me? Don’t worry, as long as it’s something I can do, I’ll do it without hesitation.”Patriarch Jiang patted his chest and promised loudly.
For such a burly person to make such an action, he looked extremely sincere and down-to-earth.
But in Xu Bail s eyes, these guys were as smart as monkeys, so he could only watch for fun.
At this moment, before Xu Bai could say anything, Master Jiang grabbed Jiang Tong and brought him to Xu Bai.”Sir, I have offended you previously. I will let him apologize to you now.”
Jiang Tong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the young man in front of him who was about his age and still listened to his father’s words. He said respectfully, “Lord Xu, I shouldn’t have called you by your title. I was wrong last time, please forgive me.”
Xu Bai waved his hand. He had long forgotten about this matter. The most important thing now was to solve the matter in front of him.”Patriarch Jiang, how much do you know about the Tong family?”
Master Jiang was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.”We don’t have any business dealings with each other. We only know that this Tong family is considered a big family here. They are in the business of secret escorts and specialize in special escort business.”
Xu Bai smiled.” It’s nothing serious. I just happened to get a piece of information. They are related to the people who assassinated me. If Master Jiang is free, why don’t you help me keep an eye on them?’”‘
When the Jiang family head heard this, he was slightly stunned. Then, he revealed a solemn expression.”Lord Xu, don’t worry. If there’s anything unusual about them, I’ll tell you immediately.” Xu Bai nodded..
