523. Hook straight bait salty (four thousand)(1/2)
Just as Bo Yikao and Ji Chang were discussing the ambush, Ji Fa, who heard the news, finally came to Xibo Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Ji Fa saw Bo Yikao sitting on the left, and a gloom flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he looked surprised: "Brother, are you back?"
Looking at Ji Fa coming in from outside the door, although Bo Yikao looked a little complicated, he nodded to Ji Fa: "Second brother."
After Ji Fa greeted Bo Yikao, he seemed to remember something and saluted to Ji Chang and the other two, "I have seen my father, and Mr. Sanyi, General Nangong is here too. I met my elder brother for a long time and I was a little excited just now, so I lost my courtesy. I hope my father, Mr. Sanyi, General Nangong should not be surprised."
So, some people are born to act.
Ji Chaoming was just a teenager, but his skills were already perfect in shaping his personal image.
As soon as he entered the door, just a few words, the image of a young man who values affection and righteousness but is not rude is about to emerge.
Even with the cunning of these people in the hall, if they had not already known Ji Fa, they would not have seen any flaws from Ji Fa's performance.
On the main seat.
Ji Chang looked at Ji Fa's performance, and a little emotion flashed in his eyes.
Compared to Bo Yikao, who is kind-hearted, this child is more like him, but unfortunately he is not the eldest son.
The most important thing is that the child is still a little anxious and takes action when he is not sure.
After Bo Yikao returned safely this time, Ji Fa had basically lost the possibility of turning around.
After all, no matter how kind Bo Yikao is, he cannot remain indifferent to Ji Fa who did such a thing, at most he will not hurt his life.
No matter what, Bo Yikao is his eldest son.
At most, he was favored by Ji Fa who looked more like him in his heart, but he would not really take action.
In his eyes, the position of the prince is the one who can occupies it.
Bo Yikao has the advantage of being famous innately. As long as he can hold it, this position will be his.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Ji Chang's appearance did not change at all.
He looked at Ji Fa kindly and said slowly: "It's okay, you two have not seen each other for a long time, so you can't help but be your father. This time your elder brother is back, and you probably won't go out in a short time. You two must get close to each other."
"Yes, father."
Ji Fa responded with a smile. As for what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew it himself.
............
Bo Yikao returned to Xiqi and after meeting Ji Chang, he began to be busy with his own affairs.
After all, in addition to tracing the envoy behind the scenes who spent money to buy evil and ambush him, he also had to prepare for his marriage with Daji.
For Bo Yikao, when he was in Jizhou, in order to avoid being watched, he and Daji did not hold a big wedding. Now that he has returned to Xiqi, he certainly has to compensate Daji well.
Anyway, he is now in Xiqi, the base camp of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Before, he still needed to be afraid of the influence of the Shang Dynasty. What else should I be afraid of in my own family?
As for the matter of tracing the envoy behind the scenes, although Bo Yikao had already guessed in his mind, such a thing still needs evidence in the end.
Before finding the evidence, he would at most be careful about Ji Fa and would not do anything to him.
The most important thing is that Bo Yikao actually felt a little lucky in his heart. He hoped that he would find out that the murderer was actually someone else, so that he would not have to make things difficult for him.
As for these two things, Ji Chang gave full power to Bo Yikao. As the prince of Xibo, Bo Yikao can call in Xiqi second only to Ji Chang, so he does not need anyone to help in this matter, but his marriage with Daji does not require him to do it.
There is no way. As the prince of Xibo, Bo Yikao's marriage is no longer a simple marriage to many degrees. All factors need to be considered. In addition, his mother is not dead yet, how could Tai Si not worry about her son getting married?
Therefore, Bo Yikao's energy was actually focused on pursuing the mastermind behind the scenes, and more of the marriage was left to Tai Si to handle.
If Bo Yikao aims to investigate a behind-the-scenes commander so aimlessly, it would be difficult to do the actual operation, but who has made Bo Yikao have an answer to the candidate behind the scenes?
It is certainly not easy to conduct a purposeless investigation, but if you know the answer and directly reverse the process, it will be much easier.
After all, in order to drive the Deng Zhong and his four brothers to travel thousands of miles from Huanghua Mountain to Jinji Mountain to ambush Bo Yikao, it cost a lot, and such a huge flow of wealth could not have left no trace.
Therefore, Bo Yikao found some clues before investigating for too long.
As the second son of Xibohou, Ji Fa's simple style is deeply rooted in people's hearts, but in fact he is not poor.
The reason is very simple. As Ji Chang's second son, Ji Fa received the most rewards and benefits among Ji Chang's sons except Bo Yikao. However, after Ji Fa took these wealth, he did not spend it in order to create his simple character, but these wealth was actually his, and he just saved it.
After careful investigation, Bo Yikao found that not long ago, a considerable portion of the large amount of wealth preserved by Ji Fa had disappeared strangely.
If it is normal, of course no one will pay attention to this kind of thing.
Since these wealth was given to Ji Fa, it was from Ji Fa. No matter whether he spent it or saved it, as for whether the wealth he saved became more and less, no one would care.
But now it's different. Bo Yikao was just spent money to buy evil and ambush, and Ji Fa was found to have lost a lot of wealth in his name. This coincidence is hard not to make people think about it.
To be honest, Bo Yikao felt really uncomfortable after getting this news from the people under his charge of pursuing.
Although he always knew that his younger brother was very ambitious, he really didn't expect Ji Fa to be tragic for the position of prince.
After a long silence, Bo Yikao looked at his subordinates in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Continue to investigate, I want to know where the money is going."
"Yes, prince."
The man responded.
Bo Yikao sat quietly in the study for a long time, then got up and left the study, and walked towards a nearby courtyard in the mansion.
When I arrived at the other courtyard, Bo Yikao entered the door and saw Ye Xiao fishing by the pond in the yard.
After coming to Xiqi, because Ye Xiao said he didn't want to show up for the time being, Bo Yikao did not mention Ye Xiao's incident to others. He just arranged a villa for Ye Xiao in the mansion, which was delicious and delicious.
When Ye Xiao saw Bo Yikao walking in from outside, he smiled and said, "Young Master Ji doesn't go to work on his own affairs, why do you have the leisure to come to me?"
With a sigh, Bo Yikao walked to Ye Xiao, found a stone to sit down, and sighed, "I encountered some troubles, so I came to find Brother Ye to solve my doubts."
"Solve the doubts?" Ye Xiao chuckled: "Young Master Ji has found the wrong person, so I won't solve the doubts."
Without caring about Ye Xiao’s statement, Bo Yikao stared at the pond in front of him with a little confused eyes: “Brother Ye, do you think power is really that important? Is it really worth it for the sake of power that brothers turn against each other and fight against each other?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao smiled unexpectedly: "It seems that he has gained something from the investigation of Mr. Ji, the master of the behind-the-scenes commander. However, such things are also differentiated. Some people are kind-hearted and naturally don't want to kill each other for the sake of power. Some people are useless to achieve their goals. It is not surprising that such people do anything, and some people may be impulsive or bewitched, so they can't say that they can do irrational things."
"Then how should I tell whether he was using any means or impulse?" Bo Yikao asked.
He seemed to see some hope again.
Perhaps, my second brother is not bad by nature, but just a moment of impulse?
Ye Xiao glanced at Bo Yikao and asked back, "Is it by any means or impulse? Does Mr. Ji have no answer in his heart?"
Bo Yikao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "But I want to see again."
How could he not understand Ji Fa?
It's just that he doesn't want to believe it.
Because she and Ji Fa are not only brothers, but also born to the same mother.
Their mothers are all Tai Si.
So, if Tai Si knew what Ji Fa was doing, how sad would she be?
Therefore, even if it is just for Tai Si, he wants to re-verify it.
Hearing Bo Yikao say this, Ye Xiao shook the fishing rod, shook his head and smiled, "Since that's the case, it's your own business."
Bo Yikao sighed lightly.
However, looking at Ye Xiao's swinging fishing rod and fishing line, Bo Yikao was suddenly stunned: "Why is Brother Ye's hook straight? How can you catch fish like this?"
Ye Xiao was stunned and then smiled and said, "Others can catch fish, why can't I catch fish?"
Bo Yikao had never read the Romance of the Gods, so naturally he didn't know what the others meant in Ye Xiao's mouth.
But this did not prevent him from being inspired by it.
He slowly stood up from the stone, Bo Yikao bowed to Ye Xiao, and said with a sincere look: "Thank you, Brother Ye, for your advice, I understand."
After saying that, Bo Yikao turned around and left.
Ye Xiao:???
No, what do you understand?
Why didn't I understand?
He was just idle and had nothing to do. He remembered the legend that Jiang Taigong was caught in the fishing wish, so he played here. How could Bo Yikao still understand this?
Ye Xiao couldn't figure it out.
He decided to ask Bo Yikao carefully when he had the chance in the future.
I am obviously a cultivator, so I should be the one who wants to talk about these divine things. Why do you look like a cultivator than me?
However, since Bo Yikao has left, Ye Xiao doesn't want so much.
Anyway, he is living a comfortable life now.
Living in Boyikao Mansion, he not only offers delicious food and drinks all day long, but there are still a few beautiful maids serving him in the yard.
Although he is a man of a long time, the maids in Boyikao Mansion cannot make him feel so amazing no matter how beautiful he is - he doesn't think about what quality fairy goddess he usually comes into contact with.
But to be honest, he has never experienced this kind of corrupt life being served.
After all, before this, it was almost the same for him to serve others.
