"Un, that is indeed the case"
"This organization's ability includes those who are on the lookout, those who are in charge of retreating, those in charge of dealing with things, and those who are in charge of settling accounts. Each of them has their own duties and will cooperate with each other."
"Yes, that makes sense."
"However, once they have such a scale, it is impossible for them to not have experience. You must have committed a crime before. At least this cooperation needs to be honed, right? However, this burglary case is sudden and has never appeared before. That's why the peasants feel that this is just a single person committing a crime that is more likely to happen."
"So that's how it is!"
His Majesty suddenly understood and looked at Xiao Yun with a softer gaze.
He then became bored.
Was there anything in this world that Xiao Yun did not know?
Of course, there was another important reason why Xiao Yun could make such a judgment.
It was the appearance of the bearded old man.
Such a figure had suddenly appeared in the capital of Qin Country, and his friends were injured. This meant that there should be enemies...
It seemed like a large group of experts from the martial arts world had rushed in. It was possible that there were some lone bandits among them.
His Majesty thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think about this case?"
"Actually, it's not hard to find people."
"Hmm? "
His Majesty really did not expect Xiao Yun, who always hid whenever he had something to do, to be able to say such a thing.
"Tell me quickly, how can it not be difficult to find a way?"
"Look at the date."
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and looked very confident.
"The date?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is the first time someone has reported a case. From the second time, it was five days apart, and then a few times... It was about that long, and the crime location was very far away... From the east side to the west side, it was obvious that the offenders knew that the crime area was getting more and more frequent. The risk of something happening would be higher. "
"Un! It's like this!"
His Majesty was happy now.
Xiao Yun continued, "Recently, the interval between them has become shorter and shorter, from two or three days to the next day, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer. What does this mean?"
"Tsk, it is Zhen who is asking you, but you are asking Zhen instead?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This means that he is short of money."
"Ah?"
His Majesty said in disbelief, "He stole a lot of money, and he is in need of money?"
"Yes, if he doesn't need money, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to commit a crime. Money should also have a place to store it. If there are too many, it will be troublesome to store and transport it. After all, it is stolen goods."
"This... this is true."
"So the reason why he is in need of money is that he spends money very quickly!"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It is nonsense, but it is also very important."
He sighed and said, "There are many places in the capital that require money, but what do men like? Where are they willing to spend money? And the more they spend, the more they spend. It's not enough to rob so many wealthy families. Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not that much either."
"What do you mean?"
"It's true that the Drunken Immortal Restaurant is a metal-cutting cave, but there's still a limit to how much money we spend. It's also stable, so we won't let him commit crimes so diligently."
"Then what else is there to spend..."
His Majesty stopped halfway through his question.
Because he had thought of it!
"It's a bet!"
Yeah, a lot of people liked to bet.
Even His Majesty was no exception.
When he was young, he went to some places and occasionally played a few rounds.
The palace was even more impressive.
Which one of the eunuchs and maids was not easy to gamble with?
Some of them had no one to rely on and no one to worry about. Every month, once the money was paid, they would lose everything in the afternoon.
The Emperor knew all of these, but he also turned a blind eye to them.
Xiao Yun nodded heavily and continued, "So as long as someone pretends to be a gambler and goes to every gambling den to investigate. Let's see if there are any rich people appearing recently, the kind of people who spend money like flowing water, the kind of people who spend big money. There are probably not many people who can lose such a large sum of money during these few days. "
His Majesty was truly shocked this time.
How long had this case troubled them?
They felt that there were no clues at all. There was no direction at all.
Whether it was the ministers below or him, as the king, they could all be considered to be overwhelmed with anxiety.
He did not expect that just after Xiao Yun came into contact with this case, he did not even ask about the situation of the person involved and actually pointed out the direction of the case.
Furthermore... This sounded really reliable!
His Majesty really wanted to quickly arrange this matter.
Xiao Yun saw through his Majesty's intention and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the commoner will retire first."
His Majesty hurriedly waved his hand like chasing a fly.
"Go, go, I see that you are an eyesore!"
Xiao Yun could only smile bitterly.
He turned around and left the Imperial Palace.
After Xiao Yun left, the Empress walked out from behind the study.
She frowned deeply.
His Majesty sighed and asked, "What do you think about Xiao Yun?"
The Empress said, "This child... has a very good relationship with His Majesty, so he can still be controlled, but if... I'm afraid that no one in the world can control him anymore."
"Is that so?"
His Majesty smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I have been worried about this all along. When the world faces me, long live everyone, but in fact, few of my ancestors can live past seventy. Even now, I can be considered to have lived a long life. If I wait a hundred years, who else in this world can suppress him? And what shocked me even more was that no matter how much contribution he made, no matter how much contribution he made, he never thought of asking for an official position. Although he had a low rank title, which seemed not bad, but he was still a White Ding... That phrase 'peasant', Zhen hears it ear piercing."
The Empress sighs:" Originally I did not believe what he said when he dreams of immortals, but now... Sigh, such a talented person who has made such a huge contribution in every aspect can only be an immortal's disciple. "
His Majesty stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Do you think there are really immortals in this world?"
When the Empress heard this, her hair instantly stood on end and cold sweat broke out.
"Your Majesty... you must not have such thoughts!"
Immortal.
Immortals were the greatest temptation to the world, not all kinds of strange and varied Immortal Arts.
There was only one thing that made Immortals intoxicated.
Immortality!
If an emperor started to pursue immortality, it would definitely not be a good thing for the country.
More importantly...
Those who came later, regardless of whether they were officials or their children, would be alerted.
Even if they did something bad, it was inevitable.
This was a taboo.
Even in Xiao Yun's past life, the number one person who pursued immortality, the First Emperor, did not pursue immortality. That was only one of the methods that the later generations used to discredit him.
This matter... Whoever touched it would die!
His Majesty was stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at the throne and frowned slightly.
He felt wronged.
He wanted to request immortality. What happened? Was it not good for him to live longer?
Even the person closest to me, the Empress that I love the most, is afraid that I will ask for eternal life.
On the other hand, Xiao Yun...
Each and every one of them really wanted him to live longer.
His Majesty believed that Xiao Yun must have a lot of wine for him. It was definitely enough for him to drink. He could also exchange it for a lot of rewards from him. After all, the gold of the royal family was already in Xiao Yun's hands. He could even take it himself.
Cigarettes, this kind of thing, His Majesty especially liked.
What's wrong with giving it to me?
Xiao Yun even took the risk of offending me and did not give me too much, saying that this thing hurt my body.
In addition to the warmth from winter, the medicinal soup from the past, and even the precious honey, he also gave me some.
As for who was close to him and who was truly good to him, His Majesty knew.
His Majesty was worried about this matter, but it just so happened that it was also this matter.
His relationship with Xiao Yun was personal. He was neither a subject nor a superior. He was more like two friends of different statuses who had achieved the greatest achievements in their respective fields.
However, if he died, would his child be able to get Xiao Yun's help?
If he was not careful and offended someone, Xiao Yun would run to another country. With his ability, if he went to a country that could pose a threat to Qin Country... In a few years, he would be able to lead his troops and fight back!
