Be a detective in Yuanshin

After Li Shuo left, Jiu Lixu immediately sent someone to gather his business partners to discuss whether the current situation of Dao Wife and Li Yue would be more suitable for development in the future.

Walking out of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce, Bei Dou patted Li Shuo on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Old Li, you really have you. Seeing that guy was fooled by you and couldn't find Bei."

"It's not that I fooled around, it's that it's too powerful to pursue assists. If Dao's wife lives and works in peace, the merchants will naturally not take the risk to go to Liyue to start again.

However, in the current situation of Daozuma, even if the problem of outlying islands is resolved, at least the closed door will not end for a day, and the hearts of the merchants will not be able to settle down for a day. "

Li Shuo turned his head to look at Beidou and said with a smile: "So we have to thank this Hiiragi Shinsuke for digging the corner of Inazuma's wall first, and if Inazuma returns to normal later, then Liyue, who is closest to Inazuma, can be here again. Seize the market in the shortest possible time.

This is a win-win situation, that is, one person wins twice. "

Beidou asked subconsciously: "Then who lost?"

Li Shuo asked without thinking, "What do you think?"

Beidou: "Dao wife?"

Li Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be precise, it is the people at the bottom of Daozu. In a country like Daoju, no matter what turmoil happens in the country, those in high positions will never lose."

"why?"

"There is such a sentence, I don't know if you have heard it."

"That sentence?"

"Who in the hall dares to sue this official!"

After Li Shuo finished speaking, he laughed, then waved his hands and said, "Don't think too much, it's still the same sentence that Dao's wife is not Liyue, and for Liyue, the best Dao's wife is a half-dead Dao's wife.

As Liyue's back garden, it does not pose a threat to Liyue, but can also generate a steady stream of benefits for Liyue.

When you need it, come to the back garden and pull two green onions and fry an egg. When you don’t need it, let it stay there quietly. You don’t need to fertilize or take care of it. It’s great. "

Beidou thought for a while: "I always feel that doing this is a bit detrimental."

Li Shuo can understand Beidou's thoughts, she is bold but not a pirate, the money she earns from doing business at sea is very clean, and she doesn't bother to do things that harm others and benefit herself.

Li Shuo snapped his fingers and patiently explained: "Beidou, you have to know that no matter how powerful a genius doctor is, he can't save those patients who shy away from medical treatment. The problem of Daozuma is not outside. .

If the shogunate and the three major magistrates are a bit rotten, the rice wife will be rotten. If the shogunate and the three major magistrates are rotten, then the rice wife will be completely rotten, and they will rise up to make the shogunate and the three magistrates bow and apologize. "

"Bow and apologize?"

"Yes, the kind that bows ninety degrees."

Li Shuo finished half-jokingly, and his expression returned to calm again: "Some Dao wife can't bear Dao wife's situation, so they risk their lives to travel across the ocean to come to Liyue to beg for life, and some Dao wife are desperate in the face of difficulties. Choose suicide.

The problem with rice wives is that there are too few people of the former type and too many of the latter. "

Li Shuo always felt that compared with Sakura Country, Daozuma lacked a very, very important thing, and it didn't have that kind of flavor.

The key thing here is... Buddhism!

Considering Daozu’s environment, Li Shuo felt that as long as he wanted to, if Buddhism came out at this time, believers would spread all over Daozu within a few years, and even the three major practices would become the mainstay of promoting the development of Buddhism.

Beidou touched his chin thoughtfully: "After listening to your analysis, Lao Li, I suddenly feel that Dao Wife is quite pitiful."

Li Shuo shook his head and persuaded Beidou: "Don't have such thoughts, you have to know that we are outsiders, we have the qualifications and obligations to pity and even help Liyue people, but it is not up to us outsiders to intervene in the matter of Dao's wife.

To put it bluntly, Dao's wife's sky fell, and it was Dao's general Lei Dian who supported it. Who are we?Don't think about how important you think. "

Beidou always felt that Li Shuo was thinking too much, she laughed and patted Li Shuo on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so serious, there are so many homeless compatriots waiting for us to help in Guiliyuan. Kindness, I will settle our own family first before talking about it.”

Li Shuo half-jokingly said: "I'm just talking, tonight you find a way to inform Liyue at the Dao Wife Chamber of Commerce and ask them to send someone who can take care of things to come to my side tomorrow night to discuss the situation.

As for tonight, I will go to the residence of Kanding Xingxing, maybe there will be unexpected gains. "

"Okay, do as you say, Old Li. Anyway, you are here, so I don't worry." Beidou has always been full of confidence in Li Shuo.

Back on the Death Omen Star, the first mate brought bad news that Thomas had left the outlying island and went to Narugami Island.

In addition, Ying and Paimeng also seem to have secretly smuggled to Narugami Island through some channel.

Li Shuo and Beidou couldn't laugh or cry when they heard the news. If Ying and Paimon had slowed down a bit, they could have swaggered to Naruto Island with Li Shuo, and they might be able to meet General Raiden smoothly.

Of course, there are not so many ifs in reality. Ying and Paimeng didn't know that Li Shuo could wake up at this time, and they didn't know that after Liyue heard about Dao's wife's rebellion, she actually asked Li Shuo to come to Dao's wife to dig up the wall and protect Dao's business interests by the way. .

Li Shuo also wanted to see how far Ying and Paimeng could go in the end with their own abilities. Maybe they didn't need to do anything themselves, and they had already solved the problem, so they could steal half a day off.

In the evening, Li Shuo followed the route he remembered to arrive outside Kanding's house, and Hiiragi Shinsuke was already waiting at the door.

Although Liyue didn't say who the person was, but the identity of Liyue's ambassador is enough for Hiiragi Shinsuke to treat it with caution.

Even so, when Hiiragi Shinsuke saw Li Shuo, his eyes widened in fright, thinking he was dazzled.

How did he come here?

Hiiragi Shinsuke guessed the identity of the ambassador during the day, and the person who can represent Liyue to come to Inazuma at this time must not be an ordinary person, but he never expected that the person who came was an unfamiliar "old" acquaintance .

Hiiragi Shinsuke, who is over 180 years old, instinctively leaned forward after seeing Li Shuo, and his waist shrunk from 150 degrees to [-] degrees.

Even though nearly 20 years have passed, Li Shuo's face still left a deep impression on him.

At that time, he stood in the corner like a minion, even in front of his father, Li Shuo was chatting and laughing, berating Fang Qiu.

Now Hiiragi Shinsuke has become Kanding Xunxing, and is also a heavyweight existence in Inazuma, but an intuition tells him that the current self is still unable to straighten up in front of Li Shuo.

"Senior Li, I really didn't expect you to be the Ambassador Liyue this time. If I had known earlier, this junior would have gone over to greet her in person."

An old man in his 60s or [-]s, calling himself a junior to a boy in his [-]s or [-]s, is a very ridiculous thing in the eyes of others.

But Shinsuke Hiiragi didn't think so, not to mention Li Shuo's ability and status back then, in fact Li Shuo's age did not match his appearance.

He even suspected that Li Shuo's real age might be over a thousand years old, and it would not be shameful to lower his profile at this time.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Although Li Shuo's appearance may make Hiiragi Shinsuke very uncomfortable, he really didn't come here to find fault.

If Hiiragi Shinsuke can cooperate with him, then Li Shuo really won't embarrass him. At most, if he sees General Raiden and General Raiden asks him, he will answer truthfully.

Li Shuo nodded, and walked under the welcome of Hiiragi Shinsuke, saying: "The last time I came to you, I was received by your father. I didn't expect that after many years, he had already left first."

"Thank you for your concern, senior. I believe my father Izumi will be very pleased to know." Hiiragi Shinsuke responded, and then opened the door himself to invite Li Shuo in.

The servant next to him looked at the Patriarch who was usually so arrogant that he didn't pay attention to other people. At this time, he was so humble. He didn't dare to say it but he was muttering in his heart. He secretly guessed who this young man from Liyue was. who.

The main building of Inazuma is still tatami, and everyone basically sits directly on their knees.

Although according to history, whether it is tatami or kneeling, both originated from China, but for Li Shuo, it is really not used to it.

He sat cross-legged directly, looked at Shinsuke Hiiragi who was a little nervous, and said, "There's no need to be nervous, there are two things I want to talk to you about when I come here this time, which is normal diplomacy.

As the ambassador of Liyue, I represent Liyue, and as the manager of the outlying islands, you represent the entire Inaozuma.In private, we have a relationship between seniors and juniors, but now you and I are both representatives of the two countries, and there is no distinction between high and low status. "

Hiiragi Shinsuke said in his heart that he believed your evil!

When will there be no distinction between high and low representatives of the two countries?

Don't you feel guilty when you say this?

Theoretically all countries are equal, but since ancient times, when have they been equal?

Furthermore, it is true that Shinsuke Hiiragi inherited his position, but after so many years in the political circle, he has more knowledge than ordinary people even if he is influenced by it.

It would be fine if we met at the designated office, but now I come to my own home to chat, obviously there are some things to talk about that cannot be said in the open, and they are brought to represent their respective countries, obviously representing their respective interests.

"Senior, please be polite. After all, this is the mansion of the junior, and it is a private occasion." Hiiragi Shinsuke still maintained a humble attitude.

Li Shuo also found out that after more than ten years, this Hiiragi Shinsuke is indeed not the second generation ancestor who didn't understand anything at the beginning, and in this case, he has avoided a lot of troubles.

He directly took out the crystallized bone marrow and handed it to Hiiragi Shinsuke, saying: "Do you know this thing? I heard that Zaina wife is called crystallized bone marrow? I heard it when I first arrived on the outlying island. Currently, the taxes on outlying islands don't use mora. They should use this." thing."

After Hiiragi Shinsuke saw Li Shuo take out the crystallized bone marrow, he subconsciously tightened his nerves, and he quickly said frankly: "Senior said that there are currently some people who monopolize the crystallized bone marrow in the market and deliberately raise the price, which caused complaints from the chamber of commerce on outlying islands." ?

Two days before this incident, an honorary knight from Mond accidentally discovered it and reported it to the younger generation.

I'm ashamed to say that if this honorary knight hadn't spoken out, I'm afraid the people below would still be kept in the dark.

But seniors, please rest assured, ever since the juniors found out about this matter, they have sent people to investigate strictly to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. "

Li Shuo laughed when he heard the words. To be frank, he was really fast. Was he afraid of something?

He looked at Hiiragi Shinsuke with a half-smile and said: "I misunderstood, as Liyue Ambassador, I am an outsider, so it is naturally inconvenient for me to intervene in such things as monopolizing and raising prices.

It’s just a coincidence that I know this crystallized bone marrow. Not only do I know it, but as far as I know, the only ones who are interested in this thing at present... are the Abyss Cult and the Winter Kingdom.

Since when did Inazuma become interested in this stuff?

Or is it that Hiiragi is not confiscated for Inazuma, but for other organizations, such as the Abyss Cult or the Fools? "

Chapter 4: I still have to go to Inazuma City

When Hiiragi Shinsuke heard the words "Fools" from Li Shuo's mouth, his spirit suddenly tensed up. His body, which was originally slightly bowed, straightened at this time, and the panic and shock that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Apparently, he never expected that Li Shuo would come out halfway through such a matter.

Seeing Hiiragi Shinsuke's reaction, Li Shuo couldn't help but shook his head in his heart, he was still a little too tender, and he couldn't hold his breath just by blowing it up casually.

You can't blame Hiiragi Shinsuke entirely, Li Shuo put too much pressure on him, if it were Ying and Paimeng who came over to break Hiiragi Shinsuke and fools together, it is estimated that Hiiragi Shinsuke would find a reason to prevaricate.

After all, if Li Shuo is willing, in his capacity, he really has the opportunity to meet General Thunder and Lightning.

In an instant, Hiiragi Shinsuke even gave birth to the idea of ​​uniting the fools in the house to kill people to silence them. Of course, this idea was dispelled as soon as it appeared.

Too stupid, not to mention whether it is possible to kill Li Shuo, but even if Li Shuo is really killed, how should I explain to Li Yue later?

Li Shuo is not an ordinary Liyue businessman, he is here as Liyue ambassador, killing him is tantamount to offending Liyue completely.

After the big trouble at that time, maybe General Lei Dian will make a move to appease the allies by borrowing the king's head.

Li Shuo reached out and patted Shinsuke Hiiragi on the shoulder, and comforted him half-jokingly, "There is no need for Hiiragi to be so nervous. I didn't come to Inazuma to investigate the case. I didn't bother to ask too much about the crystallized bone marrow. Just mention it casually when you arrive, and you don’t have to take it to heart.”

Hiiragi Shinsuke quickly nodded in response: "Yes, yes, senior is right. About this crystallized bone marrow, this junior is not very clear. It's just that there are orders from Inazuma City, and this junior also obeys orders."

What he said was against his will, but Li Shuo didn't mean to expose it.

I'm not afraid that Hiiragi Shinsuke has a problem. On the contrary, now that I have a handle, it will be easier to reach a consensus on the issues to be discussed next.

Li Shuo directly gave the crystallized bone marrow to Hiiragi Shinsuke: "Hiroshi, since Inazuma needs crystallized bone marrow now, then this is a small gift from me to Inazuma.

I just said that I want to talk to you about two things. Now that the matter of crystallizing bone marrow is over, let's talk about the second thing now. "

Hiiragi Shinsuke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and when he heard Li Shuo talking about the conditions, he could finally let go of his nervous heart just now, no matter what it is, as long as it can still be discussed.

Li Shuo was silent for a moment and said: "Recently, I heard that civil strife broke out on Dao's wife's Bayun Island? I have the impression that many merchants in Liyue are doing business there. During this period of time, there is a lot of chaos. It’s very worrying.”

Whether the outlying islands will become a battlefield in the future is a question mark for the time being, but there is a real war on the eight red islands.

In this case, no matter which country the businessman is from, he is no different from a pig staying there.

Whether it is the rebel army or Daozuma's army, perhaps the generals in command belong to the kind of self-denying and polite people who will not commit acts of looting, but can they restrain themselves and all the people under their command?

Li Shuo has never led soldiers to fight, and he is not very clear about the situation of leading troops to fight in Tivat, but in the troubled times of ancient China, the army, especially when the battle line was stretched too long, basically fought Where to eat.

Looking through the historical materials of ancient history, there are only a handful of monarchs whose soldiers have never slaughtered cities and looted people in their lives. This is one of the reasons why Liu Bei was highly respected by the people in ancient times.

Hiiragi Shinsuke immediately patted his chest and said, "Senior, don't worry, this junior will send someone to send a message to Yalu Island, and let Jiutiao Shaluo, who is in charge of the battle there, arrange the Liyueren."

He is not in charge of Baleng Island, but he can speak to the overseas businessmen on Baleng Island.

In any case, as one of the three major families of worship that has been passed down to this day, even if Kujo Sara doesn't like Hiiragi Shinsuke, he will definitely try his best to fulfill this uncle's request.

"Thank you very much. If it is convenient, it is best to transport the people to the outlying island first. The business can be stopped temporarily, but there is only one life, so we must take it seriously."

Li Shuo is very satisfied with Hiiragi Shinsuke's attitude, that's right, if you have something to discuss, don't make it too tense.

Li Shuo also said: "In addition to the Liyue people of Bayun Island, I hope Hiiragi will give me another right. If the situation is urgent, I can take people away from Daozu at any time. After all, Daozu doesn't seem to be there now. Not very stable."

In fact, under normal circumstances, this is not a right at all. There is no such thing as nationality in Tivat Continent, and you can leave if you want to.

For example, when Dao wife went to Liyue, she didn't need to apply for any documents. The problem was that Dao wife was not in a normal period.

When the country is closed and closed, not only people from the outside can't get in, but people inside can't get out either.

If you want to smuggle, it's not impossible, but you have to go through the minefield around Daozuma.

Naturally, Li Shuo didn't bother to smuggle people away. As long as he had the right to take people away, even if he opened the portal to send people away, General Thunder probably wouldn't have much to say after he knew about it.

When Hiiragi Shinsuke heard Li Shuo's condition, his face was a little ugly. After all, General Raiden personally issued the order to lock the country.

It was within his purview to take over the Liyue people from Bayun Island, but to let Li Shuo take them away in a legitimate manner would go against General Lei Dian's original intention.

Li Shuo saw that Hiiragi Shinsuke seemed to be in a dilemma, so he said half-jokingly: "I believe that with Hiiragi's status, he still has the right to do things cheaply. Otherwise, he would not have done such a thing as replacing Mora with crystallized bone marrow." bring it on?"

"Senior, you were joking." Hiiragi Shinsuke cried bitterly.

In fact, if you don't consider that it is foolish people who want to crystallize bone marrow, then replacing Mora with crystallized bone marrow can only be regarded as outrageous at best, but in fact it is still within his purview.
