Chapter 315 Reasoning! Crack the ultimate plan of the Western Region merchant with the Four Elephant Golden Hairpin!

"The prince's strange illness was caused by the White Tiger!?"

Hearing Ang Su's words, Xiao Yu's face changed involuntarily, and he could not hide his astonishment. He had never expected that Li Chengqian's illness would be man-made. If this news were to spread, he could not imagine what kind of storm it would cause in the court and the country.

He hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, only to see that Lin Feng was frowning and looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Xiao Yu frowned and couldn't help but confirm with Ang Su again: "Are you really sure that the Crown Prince's illness is really related to the white tiger?"

Ang Su sneered: "At this time, do I have any need to lie?"

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Half a year ago, Angsu summoned us and told us to restrain our men and be more cautious. We must not be exposed at the last minute and fail. During that time, because we were all curious about what Xinggong wanted to do, Baihu scolded us and told us not to ask around. However, in order to reassure us, he still revealed some things. He told us to put our minds at ease. Xinggong is much more powerful than we imagined. Even the prince's illness that Li Shimin tried so hard to cure was cured by him personally."

Lin Feng had been observing Ang Su carefully. The tone of Ang Su's words, his expression, and his body's subconscious movements were all caught in Lin Feng's eyes.

Lin Feng nodded slightly in his heart: "His tone was calm, his eyes were not dodging, and his body did not make any subconscious movements when lying. Moreover, he really had no reason to lie in his current situation... So, what he said should be the truth."

"At that time, Baihu could not have expected that Angsu would fall into my hands half a year later, so there was no need for Baihu to lie to the seven Angsu people who were still his confidants..."

"Therefore..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "Li Chengqian's strange illness was indeed caused by the White Tiger!"

"And this was revealed by Baihu when Ansu and the others were curious about the ultimate goal of Xinggong... Also, with Baihu's status and position, he is not qualified to take action on trivial matters. He will only take action when it truly involves the core interests of the Four Symbols Organization. Not to mention, taking action against Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince, is almost as dangerous as Li Shimin. If he had not had to do it, he would never take such a risk... Combining all of this, it can be confirmed that Baihu caused Li Chengqian to undergo a strange change for the ultimate goal of the Four Symbols Organization!"

"So, what exactly does the Four Elephants Organization want to achieve that requires Li Chengqian to suffer from such a strange disease and never be cured?"

Lin Feng's brain was working rapidly, and suddenly, he thought of something.

Lin Feng suddenly spoke to Ang Su, "Why did you insist on using the Golden Pearl Poison to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince faint? In addition to wanting to use this opportunity to deal with me, is there any other reason?"

Poison of golden beads?

When Xiao Yu heard Lin Feng's words, he couldn't help but feel confused. Why did Lin Feng suddenly turn the topic to the golden bead poison?

Then he heard Ang Su laugh: "Did you notice?"

"What?" Xiao Yu was stunned. Is there really something behind the poison of the golden bead?
Lin Feng said calmly: "The most vicious trick you used to use the East Palace case against me this time is the secret between Fahui and the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl. In other words, you only need to lead the problem to the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl, and I will find out about Fahui, and then know the secrets that I shouldn't know, and provoke the existence that should not be provoked... Therefore, there is no need for you to use the Golden Pearl Poison to knock out His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There are still many things in the Emperor Liang Wu's royal secret collection that can be used, but you only used the method of making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unable to wake up. This is essentially no different from the strange disease caused by the White Tiger. The purpose is to put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in an extremely bad state, but not to die immediately."

Ang Su listened to Lin Feng's words and couldn't help but said, "You are really a freak. I just mentioned that Li Chengqian's illness came from the white tiger, and you directly judged that it was the problem of the golden bead poison."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask: "Is it really as Zide said?"

Ang Su took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "In fact, I didn't want to use the Golden Pearl Poison to make Li Chengqian faint. It was Baihu's request. Baihu gave me the important task of dealing with you. He gave me enough freedom, but there was only one thing he asked me to do... and that was to use the Golden Pearl Poison."

Xiao Yu frowned completely. He couldn't understand why he had to use the golden bead poison. Although this poison was very special and had been lost for hundreds of years, its specialness shouldn't be so important to Baihu, right?
He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng: "Zide, can you guess the reason why Baihu did this?"

Ang Su also subconsciously looked at Lin Feng. Although he did it himself, he had no idea what Baihu was trying to do.

Lin Feng smiled at the two people's puzzled expressions and said, "When investigating a case, we always advocate a kind of reasoning logic, that is... after the victim is in trouble, whoever can benefit the most will be the most suspicious."

"No one in this world does anything without a reason, especially smart people. They will not take great risks for no reason and do something that has no benefit to them. So... whether Baihu made the prince sick or used the golden bead poison, he did this to achieve a purpose that he needed."

"therefore……"

Lin Feng looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "We just need to know what the consequences of their actions are."

"What are the consequences?" Ang Su frowned.

But Xiao Yu didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes suddenly widened and his expression suddenly changed: "Zide, do you mean to say!?"

Lin Feng nodded, he knew that Xiao Yu already understood what he meant.

He said: "The White Tiger caused the Crown Prince to have a strange disease, and he has not recovered... This directly led to two things. The first is that the Crown Prince can only stay in the East Palace to recuperate and it is difficult for him to directly participate in government affairs. In addition, due to the recurring illness, the other princes have the illusion that they still have a chance."

"The second thing is that His Majesty loves his son deeply. In order to make His Royal Highness recover soon, His Majesty specially sent people to the Western Regions to find a high monk from the Western Regions to pray for His Royal Highness."

"Both of these events are considered major events, but if we consider the timing of the Four Symbols Organization's upcoming action... the Western Region monks praying for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to happen, which coincides with the timing of the Four Symbols Organization's action!"

"And using the Golden Pearl Poison to poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... You can calculate the time. If I don't find the prescription, then the time when the poison breaks out for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be right after the Western Regions monks pray for blessings. Even if I find the prescription, Doctor Sun said that it will take at least seven days for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wake up, and these seven days just happen to be right after the Western Regions monks pray for blessings."

"You can think about it..."

Lin Feng's tone suddenly lowered, causing Xiao Yu and Ang Su's hearts to tighten. They subconsciously leaned forward and held their breath, fearing that they would miss a word.

Then Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be cured, how will His Majesty treat the prayers of the Western Region monks? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be cured, but on the eve of the cure, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in a coma, will His Majesty be worried about the final result? How will His Majesty treat the prayers of the Western Region monks?"

"Your Majesty will only attach greater importance to the prayers of the Western Regions monks! You will never tolerate any mistakes in the prayers!"

Xiao Yu said without thinking: "Your Majesty loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be saved, Your Majesty can only hope that God can save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be saved but has not yet awakened, Your Majesty will also hope that the prayers will work and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will wake up smoothly."

"Yes, our Majesty loves his heir deeply, so what he will do is predictable! And if something can be predicted, it can be used as a chess piece in the chess game!"

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu and said slowly: "Now, things are very clear."

"Let His Royal Highness develop a strange disease, and the direct result will be that the blessing for the prince will happen."

"I'll use the Golden Bead Poison to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince faint. Regardless of whether I can find the prescription in the end, the result will not change... That is the matter of praying for blessings. Even if there are twists and turns in the middle, even if someone tries to stop it, Your Majesty will definitely let the blessing go on as usual. This is like adding a layer of insurance to the blessing. No matter how terrible the world is, no one can stop the blessing!"

"So, taking all of this into consideration, the true secret of the Four Symbols Organization has surfaced."

Lin Feng's tone was low, and his voice gave people a feeling of tightening their hearts. He looked around at the two people and said in a deep voice: "The Western Region monk praying for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... is what the Four Symbols Organization hopes to achieve the most! And this is definitely the most important part of their ultimate plan!!!"

Suddenly.

Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly shrank and he felt a chill in his heart.

And Ang Su also widened his eyes with an expression of horror and shock. He didn't expect that something that even he, the Star Lord, had been kept in the dark about was actually straightened out and deduced by Lin Feng in just a few words.

Moreover, Lin Feng's reasoning was well-founded, and the two things Baihu did before and after could echo each other. Even if Angsu used his critical eyes to look for loopholes, he could not find any problems.

As for Xiao Yu, he knew the secret of the Four Symbols Organization behind Puguang Temple, and he also knew that after the Western monks came to Chang'an, the only place to stay was Puguang Temple... At that time, Lin Feng had asked him whether there might be any relationship between the Western monks and Puguang Temple, so Lin Feng's inference was also indirectly verified by Puguang Temple.

The clues are more comprehensive!

“You can’t go wrong!”

Xiao Yu looked directly at Lin Feng and said, "This must be the case! The Western Region monk's prayer must be a conspiracy of the Four Symbols Organization!"

"in this case……"

Xiao Yu's expression suddenly became extremely serious. He said, "Could this so-called high monk from the Western Regions be harmful to Your Majesty during the prayer?"

Even though the eminent monk from the Western Regions was invited by Li Shimin, he could not see Li Shimin at any time. The only chance he had to see Li Shimin was when he prayed for Li Chengqian. So if the eminent monk from the Western Regions wanted to take action, it was only when he prayed!

"No!" He frowned and was about to walk out: "I need to report this to His Majesty immediately. Please stop praying for His Majesty. I must not let His Majesty get hurt!"

"Mr. Xiao!"

But before Xiao Yu could leave, he was stopped by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said, "I have just said that praying for blessings is related to whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can wake up smoothly. It is very difficult for you to persuade His Majesty to give up! Not to mention, this matter is already known to everyone. Officials and people all know that His Majesty specially invited the monks from the Western Regions to pray for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you ask His Majesty to give up at this time, what will people think? Will they think that His Majesty's love for his offspring is hypocritical and pretended? If you tell them the reason, will they think that His Majesty is too timid and scared by a thief?"

"Besides, with your majesty's generosity and strategy, even if your majesty knew that there was something wrong with the monk from the Western Regions, would your majesty be afraid of a monk like him? Would your majesty really give up the Buddhist temple that Duke Wei had been harassing for several months and had to promise Duke Wei that he would never waste people's money and energy to build again just because of a monk?"

"This..." Xiao Yu hesitated. He frowned and thought for a while, then flicked his sleeves, looking a little annoyed.

He knew that Lin Feng was right.

Whether for the sake of reputation or Li Shimin's own temperament, Li Shimin would never give up praying.

If the great Khan of the Tang Dynasty was frightened by a foreign monk or a rebellious organization that could not stand in the light, how could he face it? Wouldn't he become a laughing stock of the world?
"However, Lord Xiao can still inform His Majesty of this matter." Seeing Xiao Yu calm down, Lin Feng slowly said, "Many dangers in the world come from the unknown. Since we know that the monk from the Western Region may have problems, we can prepare in advance to eliminate the crisis invisibly."

Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, even if we don't cancel the blessing, there are still many ways to solve it."

Lin Feng smiled, but there was still a hint of thought in his eyes.

It’s still a bit simple.

No matter how powerful the monk from the Western Regions is, he is just one person. At most, he can bring dozens of monks with him when praying, and that's all.

But relying solely on these people, are they really sure that they can harm Li Shimin?
Are these people's martial arts extremely terrifying?
Or does the Four Symbols Organization have other confidences that can help these people succeed?
Or... Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. These people are just part of the plan. Does the Four Symbols Organization have other plans?

But is there any other plan that can be related to praying for blessings and can ensure that Li Shimin can be solved?

Lin Feng had countless guesses in his mind at this moment, but the clues were not enough, so he didn't dare to be sure.

But there was one thing he was basically certain of.

That is……

Lin Feng's eyes sparkled, and he said slowly: "The date of the Four Symbols Organization's ultimate plan is... the day of prayer!"

"That's the eleventh of this month! There are still six days left!"

Six days...time is really running out.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and then let out a long exhale. He tried to calm his agitated emotions. He knew that the more critical the moment, the calmer he had to be.

He looked at the tied up Angsu again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Next, you will have to endure this torture for a few more days. We will continue to tie you up, and you need to continue to pretend that you want to die."

Ang Su's heart moved, and he asked, "Do you want to confuse Bai Hu and the others?"

Lin Feng nodded: "I can't let Baihu and the others know that you have revealed the matter between the crown prince and Baihu. After all, this matter has the opportunity for me to directly infer the issue of Qifu. I need to make them believe that you are still under their threat and say nothing, and I still know nothing about Qifu. Only in this way can they move forward with their plan with confidence."

Ang Su only wanted his most beloved illegitimate son to survive, so he naturally had no objection to Lin Feng's words.

He said, "Don't worry, I will be crazier than before...but."

His tone suddenly changed. He stared at Lin Feng with his eyes, but with a strange tone, he said: "To tell you the truth that you may not like to hear... As long as you are alive, they may change their plan."

Lin Feng was stunned.

Ang Su looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, you may not know what kind of monster you are in our eyes, right?"

"You are too smart, too wise, and too good at unraveling things. Before you showed up, our Xinggong had been hiding for so many years without being discovered by anyone... But after you showed up, not only did you find out our members one by one, but you also ruined many of our plans. You even unraveled everything step by step, and even I found out about it."

"Do you know why we, who are known for our secrecy, suddenly let Kui Su lead hundreds of troops to kill you? Do you know why after Kui Su failed, I used the White Tiger's many powers to plot to kill you?"

Lin Feng frowned, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Ang Su said: "Your existence has become a great worry in the hearts of Baihu and others! Although Baihu has not explicitly told me, I know that he is definitely afraid of you! Because they don't know how far you have investigated, they don't even doubt whether you can find out about them if you are given enough time."

"So, in their eyes, you being alive is the biggest threat! The biggest variable! Even though they have been preparing for several years, they are still afraid that you have found out everything... Therefore, maybe I am exaggerating a little, but I have reason to doubt that if you are not dead, they can dare to continue their plan with peace of mind."

Hearing Ang Su's words, Lin Feng and Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at each other.

This time, even Xiao Yu did not expect that Lin Feng had unknowingly posed such a threat to the Four Symbols Organization.

He thought about it and couldn't help but say, "So, last night the Four Symbols Organization sent assassins to kill you, and this morning they arranged for people to disguise themselves as servants to sneak into your house and kill you, all because they were afraid of you?"

"Did Xinggong send someone to assassinate you?"

Ang Su listened to Xiao Yu's words and said directly: "Look! I was right!"

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "After my plan against you failed, Xinggong had no other way to deal with you, so they could only use this method to get rid of you! And the assassins last night and today are just the beginning. As long as you don't die, they will become even crazier..."

"So Lin Feng, you must be mentally prepared. Once Xing Gong goes crazy, how terrifying it will be, even I dare not imagine it."

Xiao Yu was startled when he heard this. He looked at Lin Feng with some concern and said, "I will send you more guards! Don't wander around. Just stay in your house and the Dali Temple to prevent any accidents."

Lin Feng naturally would not refuse Xiao Yu's kindness. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. I cherish my life the most and will never put myself in danger."

Xiao Yu finally felt relieved. What he feared most was that Lin Feng was too proud and unwilling to acknowledge the threat from the Four Symbols Organization. But fortunately, Lin Feng could always remain rational.

Lin Feng did not continue the topic. He thought about it and said to Ang Su, "There are two things I am curious about."

"what?"

Lin Feng asked: "Do you know the Jinchai family and the Western Region merchants?"

Ang Su looked at Lin Feng with some surprise and said, "You actually know them?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "It seems that you know them?"

Ang Su shrugged and said, "When we were looking for the golden hairpin, we fought against the Golden Hairpin Family. This family has some strength, but in the eyes of our Xing Palace, they are not good enough. They are short-sighted and only care about their own little piece of land. They are completely different from our Xing Palace who care about the world."

"As for the Western Region Merchant Force...they deliberately spread the legend of the golden hairpin. How could we not care? However, the headquarters of this force is in the Western Region. Our Xinggong's penetration into the Western Region is not strong, so we don't know much about this force."

Sure enough... the Four Symbols Organization is very aware of these forces.

They even fought each other secretly, but from Ansu's tone, it can be seen that the Four Symbols Organization is very arrogant and looks down on the other two forces.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Since you have fought against the Golden Hairpin Family and the Western Region Merchants, have you never doubted the legend of the Golden Hairpin? Why are you still searching all over the Tang Dynasty?"

Ang Su was a little surprised and said, "It is because we have fought before that we have no doubt about the legend of the golden hairpin. It is indeed the countless wealth left by Empress Lü for future generations, as well as weapons, armor and even countless food for a comeback. These things may not seem like much to you, but for such a large organization as our Xinggong, wealth is necessary to maintain our operation, and those weapons and armor are even more important to achieve our goals, so how can we let them go?"

"And it's not just the gold hairpin, the red sandalwood cloud beads are the same. Anything related to the royal family, wealth, and comeback, we at Xinggong will intentionally collect and search for it on a large scale."

Lin Feng finally understood.

The Four Symbols Organization did not blindly believe the legend spread by the Western Region merchants. Instead, they confirmed the authenticity of the legend through contact with these two forces and then began to look for the golden hairpin.

It seems that what I thought at that time was indeed correct. Given the caution of the Four Symbols Organization, they would never be led by a legend.

It's just... unfortunately, the Four Elephants Organization, the Western Regions Merchants, and even the Golden Hairpin Family were all deceived by Empress Lu! They didn't know that the treasures passed down by Empress Lu had already been handed over to the people she trusted. The so-called golden hairpins were just baits used by Empress Lu to confuse others, attract their attention, and make them beat them to a pulp.

These forces were obviously all extremely cunning, yet they were deceived by Empress Lu who lived hundreds of years ago!

Also, since these forces have come into contact with each other, it is very likely that the Jinchai family forces and the Western Region merchant forces have noticed that the Four Symbols Organization is about to take action.

So... does this mean that when the Four Symbols Organization takes action, they will also take advantage of the chaos and follow suit?

Judging from their successive assassination attempts on me last night, this is very likely... They are also afraid of me, and don't want me to disrupt the actions of the Four Symbols Organization!

If this is true... then at that time, the enemies he will face will not just be the Four Symbols Organization, but the Four Symbols Organization, the descendants of Empress Lu, and the Western Regions merchants.

Three mysterious forces act together, each with different purposes...

Even Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp when he thought about this.

"no!"

Lin Feng's eyes turned cold, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"I have to make some preparations, or nothing will happen!"

"If you want to succeed... just take care of them all at once!"
