Chapter 269 Breakthrough

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Zhang Zong immediately said excitedly when he heard that Wan'er had some speculations about the tinder oil not being ignited. This question made him and Di Renjie both trouble him and he still couldn't figure it out.

"Young Master, what would happen to those corn and potatoes if the other party did not give up lighting the tincture today?" Wan'er did not immediately express her guess, but asked Zhang Zong with a smile.

"Is this a thing more important? If the tincture oil is lit, the corn and potatoes will definitely not be able to survive, especially the other party's choice is very good. The potatoes under the company commander's underground have just begun to grow and cannot make seeds for the time being. If the potatoes are dead now, they will really not be able to save them." Zhang Zong replied in confusion when he heard this.

"I'm not talking about this, but even if the corn and potatoes in Furong Garden die, are the preparations that the young master made before still there?" Wan'er corrected with a smile.

"Of course, even if all the crops in Furong Garden are dead, I have already dispersed some potatoes and corn to other places to plant them, and I am the only one in these places, so the other party's plans cannot completely destroy the corn and potatoes." Zhang Zong said confidently when he heard this.

Zhang Zong had expected that someone would attack corn and potatoes before, so he prepared early. Nearly one-third of the corn and potatoes were divided by him, and the planting places were also very scattered. Some of them even found a safe place and then sprinkled a few seeds, which almost depended on the weather. Except for him, it was impossible for others to know the location of these corn and potatoes.

For insurance, Zhang Zong even hid some corn seeds in private, just because he was worried that all the corn planted this year would be wiped out. Then he would have a backup plan, but unfortunately the potatoes were not convenient to store, otherwise he would definitely hide some.

"That's it. The person who planned all this behind him was very powerful. With his careful thoughts, would he have guessed that the young master would hide his hand?" Wan'er suddenly asked again at this time.

When Zhang Zong heard this, he suddenly understood and looked at Wan'er in surprise and said, "What do you mean is that the other party has known for a long time that even if the corn and potatoes in Beiyuan and Furongyuan were destroyed, it would be useless, so he simply gave up at the last moment?"

"Not bad!" Wan'er nodded.

"But... if he knew it was useless, why did he plan all this? After all, he spent so much effort and used so much manpower and material resources. If he had known it for a long time, why didn't he give up from the beginning?" Zhang Zong asked in confusion again.

"A smart person has always been conceited. The other party is obviously a very smart person and must be more proud than ordinary people. So he may be very showing off when doing all this, but there is another main reason!" Wan'er said again and analyzed.

"What's the reason?" Zhang Zong asked hurriedly.

"Why did the young master forget that although this person is the planner, there is actually another person behind him, and he actually acts by following this person's orders!" When Wan'er said this, her eyes also looked to the north, which was the direction of the imperial city.

"Queen!" Zhang Zong also showed a thoughtful look when he heard this, and then looked up and said, "I understand. What you mean is that this person obeyed the command of the Queen, so he planned all this, but he also knew that even if he really destroyed the corn and potatoes in Furong Garden, it would be useless, so he gave up at the last moment."

"Yes, and I can feel that this person is extremely conceited. He shouldn't have given up lighting the tincture oil, but he gave up at the last moment. This is his persistence, which shows that he is not willing to obey the queen completely. It is also him demonstrating to the young master and others. So the young master should be careful in the future. The other party is an extremely difficult opponent!" Wan'er then analyzed.

After hearing this, Zhang Zong nodded and said, if it was really like Wan'er analyzed, then the planner behind the scenes would be a terrible opponent.

"By the way, I think you should focus on the case of Beiyuan, and not be too energetic by the case of Furongyuan." Wan'er suddenly spoke again and suggested.

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Zong asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Young Master, think that in order to destroy the corn and potatoes in Furongyuan, the other party made plans one after another. The whole plan was almost seamless and there were almost no useful clues. In contrast, the case in Beiyuan seemed much simpler and rough. I suspect that these two cases were not planned by the same person." Wan'er said her thoughts.

"It makes sense!" Zhang Zong nodded in agreement after hearing this.

The case in Beiyuan is not complicated. Apart from the use of salt water as poison, the whole method is quite simple, especially when horses went crazy beforehand, causing the crop to be trampled, which made the case even more strange. After all, if they had planned to use salt water, why did they use the method of a crazy horse before, and even if the horses trampled, it would not be possible to completely destroy the crop?

"The horses are crazy. No matter how you look at this method, it doesn't seem like it was made by a meticulous person. If it comes to it, it is likely that other people will also participate. If there are two different people, then this will be a good breakthrough point!" Zhang Zong suddenly lit up his eyes and said to himself.

The case of horse trampling on crops was investigated before, and later the Beiyuan crop was destroyed one after another, and the crops in Furong Garden were almost destroyed today, which made Zhang Zong ignore the fact that horses went crazy. Now it seems that this is likely to be a good breakthrough. If the person behind this case can be found, then they may be surprised.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong also showed an excited look. Unfortunately, there was no cell phone in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would have to call Di Renjie and remind him to check it out carefully.

The next morning, Zhang Zong immediately took the carriage to Di Renjie's place. He wanted to tell Wan'er's discovery, but when he arrived at Di's mansion, he was stunned. Di Renjie also left the house early in the morning, and it is said that he had gone to Beiyuan, which shocked Zhang Zong. Could it be that Di Renjie also discovered Beiyuan?
