Chapter 831 Liao Tixue's Reminder
"My nephew's brother?"
Qin Shaoyou was taken aback when he heard the words, a face of a child with a dull expression and a snot nose all the time flashed in his mind.
That is Xue Xiaobao's senior in the school, known as Dumb, who is often inseparable from a child who likes the big sister and has many common hobbies with Zhu Xiucai.
Qin Shaoyou had gone to the school to pick up Xue Xiaobao several times, so he naturally knew them.
However, Qin Shaoyou quickly realized that the brother Liao Tixue was talking about couldn't be Dumb.
That's a brat, how could he run out of Luocheng and come to Qingtangwei, and even become friends with Tixue from a province? One of them has a runny nose, and the other can't stop urinating. What common language can they have?
Therefore, the person mentioned by Liao Tixue can only be the master's apprentice.
It is likely to be the elder brother who taught Xue Xiaobao the sword technique.
When they returned to Luocheng from Guankou County, Xue Xiaobao was sad because he didn't see his elder brother.
Qin Shaoyou still remembered that the master told Xue Xiaobao that his elder brother was out for something, and later Cui Yougui and the others also met that elder brother when they were fighting the epidemic and treating the people. It's just that he didn't expect that he came to Qingtangwei.
But this is undoubtedly good news for Qin Shaoyou!
Xue Xiaobao's elder brother has 'beaten' his master, and it is said that he has 'beaten' his master, and his strength is absolutely extraordinary.
He is really a great help in Qingtangwei!
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly asked, "Where did Master Tixue meet him?"
When Liao Tixue mentioned Xue Xiaobao's senior brother, his tone was somewhat respectful: "He came to Qingtangwei with me. He left for a while and then came back. I talked with him about scriptures and morals. , I have learned a lot from him, so it can be seen that although his teacher is not well-known, he is a very high-level hermit Confucianist. When I have the opportunity in the future, I must visit and ask for advice."
After a pause, Liao Tixue said with a bit of envy: "Your nephew is really blessed to have such a master and brother."
"I think so too." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement, and then continued: "Dare to ask Mr. Tixue, do you know where to go to find my nephew's brother?"
"His whereabouts are uncertain. Although I know that he is in Qingtangwei, I don't know where he is. But when he asked me to come to help, he once told me that if you want to find him, just Go to the Confucius Temple in the city and leave a message, and he will come to see you."
"Thank you, Master Tixue, for telling me." Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands, planning to leave a message at the Confucius Temple later.
On the one hand, it is to meet Xue Xiaobao's senior brother earlier and ask him to help. On the other hand, Qin Shaoyou felt that it was impossible for Master's apprentice to appear in Qingtangwei for no reason. He came here, in addition to helping to repel the invading barbarians, he probably also noticed that the situation here was a bit weird, and came to investigate, maybe he had already found some clues and evidence.
Liao Tixue waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter, and I can't thank you enough."
Qin Shaoyou remembered one more thing, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Mr. Tixue, do you know the name of my nephew's brother?"
"Your nephew's brother, you don't know his name?" Liao Tixue was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "His surname is Wei Mingtu, you can remember it."
"Thank you, Mr. Tixue, for letting me know. I will remember it." Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands to thank him, while muttering in his heart: Weitu? I'm afraid it's not an alias?
After asking about Senior Brother Xue Xiaobao, Qin Shaoyou changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Master Tixue, you have been in Qingtangwei for a while, I wonder if you have discovered anything?"
Hearing this, Liao Tixue didn't answer in a hurry. He looked at Qin Shaoyou, then at Qin Qiaoer, and then said: "Do you have any doubts? Dongchuanhou's status and authority are not ordinary, even if you are Chiyi Messenger, if you only have doubts, it’s better not to act rashly.”
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer looked at each other.
They heard Liao Tixue's overtones, and he should have sensed something was wrong with Qingtangwei.
That's right, if Liao Tixue can do it in one province, how can he be an ordinary person? No matter how cautious Dongchuan Hou and his son acted, they would inevitably leave some clues.
After Liao Tixue mentioned something to the two of them, he really said that he had noticed some strange things these days:
"Qingtang's offensive habit is different from the past. It abandoned the means of using mobility to fight us in the field, and interspersed through the gaps between Wubao to carry out burning, killing and looting. Instead, it built a stronghold and attacked According to the Marquis of Dongchuan, the new king of Qingtang did not know the soldiers. But I always feel that things are not that simple. Because the food transport teams we sent to various towns and Wubao Zhailou were looted too many times. To be able to use the borrowing tactics so skillfully, it is impossible for someone who does not know soldiers. Besides, even if the new Qingtang King does not know soldiers, the generals under him should also have people who know soldiers. But the new Qingtang King Abandoning the tactics and tactics that they were good at in the past is to take revenge on the old Qingtang King, but it doesn't seem like it. Although they raised the banner of revenge and shouted the slogan of revenge loudly, the real The offensive is not as intense as imagined. At least, it is not to the extent that it is really provoked and wants to fight with us forever."
When Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer heard this, they became more and more certain that Dongchuan Hou and Qingtang were fighting a tacit battle.
Maybe, Liao Tixue also had a similar judgment, but he never had any solid evidence, so he reminded them not to act rashly.
"Thank you, Mr. Tixue, for telling me about this situation." Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands and said.
Liao Tixue waved his hand: "You don't need to say thank you. It is my duty to cooperate with the investigation of the red envoy. You can report these words to Commander Qi and Commander Lu."
After a pause, Liao Tixue said again: "I don't know if you have anything else to ask? If not, I will go to the Hou's Mansion to visit Dongchuan Hou Shizi's injury. If you have nothing else to do , why not go with me?"
What are you going to do to see if Dongchuan Hou Shizi scratched himself to death?
Qin Shaoyou complained in his heart.
However, he also understood that what Dongchuan Hou Shizi said was also an injury suffered in front of them. According to the rules of the officialdom, he should really visit him.
It would be good to see if Dongchuan Hou Shizi is dead or not.
By the way, let's see if we can spy on some useful information in the Hou Mansion.
However, before going to visit Dongchuan Hou Shizi, there are still a few things to do.
After Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer made eye contact, they said, "Master Tixue, let's go first. We'll come back after collecting the scene. Maybe the voodoo breath left here can help us find out who hurt Dongchuan Hou Shizi. That Qingtang wizard."
Liao Tixue didn't say much, and nodded in response: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the Hou Mansion."
