Chapter 318 The Secret of the Red Shoes
Lu Xiaofeng was so angry that he didn't want to talk to them.
But he couldn't help it, "From this point of view, Jin Jiuling doesn't know much?"
Gongsun Da Niang sneered, "Although he is a martial arts master and famous, the chief constable of the Six Gates is a public office, and no one will confide in him. What secrets can he get in touch with? At most, he knows some escort team trade routes and rich families."
"But wasn't he invited by the Pingnan Palace to be the general manager of the palace?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Like Jiang Chongwei, he is the general manager of the outer courtyard. To put it bluntly, he is just a facade. He can't even control the back door. Does he want to know the secrets of the Pingnan Palace?" Gongsun Da Niang laughed.
Madam Gongsun looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "For example, Jiang Chongwei was blinded and immediately kicked out. If he really knew the secrets of the Pingnan Palace, he would have been silenced long ago."
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, but Su Shaoying asked, "Aren't you afraid of being silenced by the Pingnan Palace?"
Madam Gongsun glared at Su Shaoying, "If they want to silence me, it depends on how tough they are!"
Even if they are secretly colluding and cooperating, top masters have a certain degree of autonomy, otherwise how could Huo Xiu establish the Qingyi Building, Madam Gongsun also has her own Red Shoes, and the Honest Monk is one of the four famous monks in the world.
Moreover, compared with the cooperation between Emei Sect and Shu Palace on the surface, the benefits of secret cooperation will only be greater. For example, the annual organizational funds of Red Shoes are 1.8 million taels, which exceeds the income of Emei Sect by a cliff.
Of course, there are gains and losses. Huo Xiu lost his freedom to do whatever he wants, and the Red Shoes Organization lost their reputation. Otherwise, with the martial arts of the sisters, they should have been famous in the martial arts world long ago.
As for what the honest monk lost, Su Shaoying is not quite clear for the time being.
In addition, even if they cooperate secretly, they are not completely in a low position, and they will not be used up and thrown away by the forces behind them. Compared with the white gloves in the modern sense, they will have stronger self-protection capabilities.
Let’s put it this way, whether it is Huo Xiu or Gongsun Da Niang, their personal martial arts are not fake. If they really want to fight to the death, even the palace can’t afford it, so these forces behind them generally won’t target them in their heyday.
Huo Xiu’s death was caused by his own ambition. He provoked Lu Xiaofeng, Huo Tianqing and Dugu Yihe and asked for death.
The reason why Gongsun Da Niang died was because the things that Pingnan Palace wanted to do were too big. After all, she was not just working for Pingnan Palace. Ye Gucheng suspected that she and Ouyang Qing knew the secrets of Pingnan Palace, so he had to kill them and frame them.
Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Do your sisters know much?"
Seeing Lu Xiaofeng and Su Shaoying looking at her together, Gongsun Da Niang was a little envious, and sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to care about the fourth and fifth sisters. Don't worry, they didn't get to know the core secrets."
Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Shaoying nodded.
Although Ouyang Qing was in charge of the brothel intelligence work, he should not know much, otherwise he should have been sensitive to the abnormality of the meeting between the palace steward and the lama of Daxueshan Temple.
Knowing the general situation of the Red Shoes Organization, Lu Xiaofeng and Su Shaoying were satisfied. They didn't mean to get to the bottom of it. After all, who doesn't have some secrets?
What's more, they really have no interest in the secrets related to several palaces. If they are in a bad mood after listening to them, will they really go to trouble others?
Where is there a truly clean place in the world!
"So, even if Jin Jiuling, the new chief steward of Pingnan Palace, died, Pingnan Palace would not care." Su Shaoying smiled.
"Of course not, not to mention that he is the embroidery thief." Gongsun Da Niang smiled, "He still wants to deal with me, a member of Pingnan Palace."
Su Shaoying instantly understood why when Lu Xiaofeng found Gongsun Da Niang's body in the original book, she was strangled to death in a disguised state, with almost no resistance and struggle.
Because Gongsun Da Niang also worked for Pingnan Palace, so when she didn't know that Pingnan Palace wanted to rebel and had a pleasant cooperation with Pingnan Palace on a daily basis, she didn't expect Ye Gucheng, who represented Pingnan Palace, to kill her!
In addition, Ye Gucheng's martial arts were indeed better than hers, so she was killed by Ye Gucheng almost without resistance.
Otherwise, with Gongsun Da Niang's martial arts, Ye Gucheng could kill her, but it would not be so easy.
Lu Xiaofeng curled her lips, "But if you really fall into Jin Jiuling's hands and frame you as the Embroidery Thief, the Pingnan Palace will not care."
"The Jianghu is the Jianghu. If I really fall into Jin Jiuling's hands, it's my own incompetence." Gongsun Da Niang said coldly.
The court is the court, and the Jianghu is the Jianghu.
Not to mention that Gongsun Da Niang, who only secretly cooperated with Pingnan Palace, failed herself, even if Dugu Yihe died in the hands of other martial artists, the Shu Palace would not say anything.
"So Jin Jiuling will not have any scruples when dealing with you." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "It is easier for him to reveal his secrets in front of you."
Gongsun Da Niang said, "That's right."
...
One day and one night, the three of them returned to Yangcheng from the South China Sea.
Su Shaoying left quietly, and Lu Xiaofeng took Gongsun Da Niang to the Snake King's Building to find Jin Jiuling.
"You're back?" Xue Bing saw Su Shaoying coming back and immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "How are Lu Xiaofeng and Auntie?"
Su Shaoying glanced around and found that Hua Manlou and Shi Xiuxue were both there. He did not answer Xue Bing's question, but asked Hua Manlou, "Jin Jiuling returned to Yangcheng. Have you seen him?"
Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Yes, he was indeed disguised very well. If I didn't know the truth, I wouldn't have found the flaw."
"He didn't find Xue Bing, did he?" Su Shaoying asked.
"Of course not, Xue Bing didn't leave the house at all these days." Shi Xiuxue said, and then asked hurriedly, "What is the situation in the South China Sea? Did Jin Jiuling poison himself?"
"Of course he poisoned himself. He didn't dare to deal with Gongsun Da Niang." Su Shaoying said, and didn't continue to keep the secret, "Lu Xiaofeng has already made a plan with Gongsun Da Niang, waiting for Jin Jiuling to take the bait."
"What plan?" Xue Bing asked anxiously.
"Of course it's a plan to make Jin Jiuling admit that he is the Embroidery Thief." Su Shaoying smiled.
Shi Xiuxue didn't understand, "Why would he admit that he was the Embroidery Thief?"
"Want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Then let's go and see together." Su Shaoying smiled, "But we agreed that Xue Bing can't show up."
"Okay!" Xue Bing agreed decisively.
