Chapter 1117 The vest is exposed

While Wang Yue was waiting and busy, Uncle Beggar took a warship of the Jiangzuo League and went to sea. Judging from his appearance, he was probably a Japanese island.

A very lively thing happened in Hangzhou recently. Sima Changan, a famous salt merchant in Jiangnan, was going to hold a hairpin conference.

This event only happens once every three years. Hangzhou is quite lively. Many talented women will participate, and many literati and poets come to watch.

After hearing about such a fun thing, Yue Lingshan and Yuan Jinxia insisted on going to play. They didn't want to participate, they just wanted to join in the fun. After all, neither of them were the kind of ladies.

Wang Yue was worried about the two women going there. After all, the poisons of this era were really hard to guard against, so he could only follow them honestly.

In fact, no matter when the competition is held, most of the final results have been predetermined, so the competition process is quite lively, but the results are not satisfactory.

Wang Yue guessed the beginning this time, but not the ending, because the first place winner turned out to be Shang Guan Xi who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Yuan Jinxia was a little far away, but when she saw someone dancing a sword, she felt that the figure was familiar. When she heard the name, she was a little surprised and said, "Sister Shangguan is here too?"

Yue Lingshan saw that Yuan Jinxia was thinking about it, but she was very reluctant, so she said bluntly, "It's better for us to have less interference in their Wu Anbang affairs."

Yuan Jinxia stuck out her tongue. She thought of the last time she was entangled, so she quickly changed the topic and asked, "What has Miss Dongfang been doing these past few days? Why can't she see him?"

When she spoke, she looked at Wang Yue with small eyes, just to let Wang Yue stop worrying and to listen to the tone of Wang Yue's words.

How could Wang Yue not know her little thoughts, so he sighed and said, "I haven't found any trace of Yan Shifan yet, so don't think so much. In a few days, when the Jiangzuo League's ship arrives, We’re about to rush out to sea.”

Yue Lingshan curled her lips and muttered, "It's just finding someone, why is it so laborious? Just attack the subordinates of the Yan family. Why doesn't he come out to comfort you?"

Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. There were hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and it was really not easy to find just one person.

However, after Yue Lingshan reminded him, it seemed that this was really the case. He rolled his eyes and was ready to make some small moves.

…

Just after midnight, Wang Yue appeared in the small courtyard of an inn wearing night clothes. Not long after, Yue Lingshan rushed over.

Because Aunt Lin followed, Wang Yue couldn't live in the same room with Yue Lingshan openly, but with one look from Wang Yue, Yue Lingshan knew what Wang Yue wanted to do.

No, without Wang Yue's instructions, Yue Lingshan came over wearing night clothes.

When she saw Wang Yue waiting in the courtyard, she asked excitedly, "What are we, the Spirit Yue Heroes, going to do tonight?"

Seeing Yue Lingshan's eagerness to give it a try, Wang Yue quickly explained his plan.

Wang Yue is preparing to take action against the Sima family where the hairpin banquet will be held today.

The main reason why the Sima family was chosen was because most of the entire imperial court were now members of Yan Song's party. And controlling so many people requires money.

In ancient times, what could be more wealthy than a salt merchant?

In this case, how could Yan Song and his son let the money go to the Sima family in vain?

Therefore, there is only one truth, and that is that Sima Changan is the son of Yan Song and his son.

Of course, Wang Yue might guess wrong. Although this probability is very low, it is not impossible.

In this regard, Wang Yue could only say sorry, thinking that the salt merchant would not be short of money.

But as soon as the two of them reached the roof, a figure in black suddenly flew in. After seeing the two of them, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then two silver needles stabbed towards the two of them.

When Wang Yue saw the silver needle, he didn't know who it was, so he quickly dodged it and growled, "One of our own!"

Yue Lingshan didn't hide. She drew her sword and knocked the silver needle away. She said dissatisfiedly, "What kind of weapon is bad? I have to use needles. How annoying!"

The Dongfang girl ignored Yue Lingshan at all. She asked with some confusion, "Why are you dressed like this? What are you planning to do?"

Wang Yue did not hide anything, and quickly explained, "I suspect that Sima Changan is a subordinate of the Yan family and his son, so I plan to go to their house to steal it once, and set a fire at the same time to see if the Yan family and his son will come to comfort me."

Dongfang Bai still looked at Wang Yue with contempt, and then said dissatisfiedly, "Now that you are rich, how much can you two carry? Wait for me, some of the people I called for have already arrived."

Yue Lingshan looked at Dongfang Bai with some suspicion, and asked Wang Yue curiously, "Are you two trying to do something behind our backs? Why did she ask someone to do it? Aren't our people coming soon?"

Dongfang Bai didn't care at all how Wang Yue explained to Yue Lingshan, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wang Yue looked at Dongfang Bai, who came and left in a hurry, and was speechless.

Why are you leaving in such a hurry? There must be a meeting place, we can't just wait here.

He also knew that Yue Lingshan was quite curious, so he quickly reassured her and said, "I will tell you our plan after we take action tonight."

When Yue Lingshan heard what Wang Yue said, she felt very unhappy. She didn't care that Wang Yue was hiding something from her, she just cared that Dongfang Bai knew about it.

However, she also knew that Wang Yue had said that no one would compromise at this moment, so she stood aside with her mouth pouted, not wanting to talk to Wang Yue for the time being.

After half a stick of incense, Dongfang Bai rushed back. She said speechlessly, "What are you doing there stupidly? Don't you know how to go to Sima's house and wait first?"

Wang Yue patted his forehead. He was also stupid, and he was actually blowing the cool breeze here.

If the two of them went directly to Sima's house just now and Dongfang Bai couldn't be found, they would definitely rush there.

But the matter was over, and the three of them rushed to Sima Changan's house together.

There were three masters, and Sima Changan's home care and nursing home had no effect at all. They were all knocked unconscious to the ground.

Not to mention, the salt merchant was rich, which reminded Wang Yue of the four major Jinling families in the Dream of Red Mansions.

However, this was an advantage for Wang Yue, or it should be said that it was an advantage for Dongfang Bai. She called a hundred martial arts masters, each of whom seemed to have profound skills, and one person could carry a heavy box.

Wang Yue and three others showed off again, and a hundred martial arts masters worked hard for half a night before emptying out the Sima family's warehouse.

For the sake of so much money, Wang Yue didn't light the fire again. He felt that the Yan family and his son had lost so much money, so why did they come to check it out.

Yes, Wang Yue is now very sure that Sima Changan may be just a housekeeper of the Yan family and his son.

Otherwise, there is no way that the underground warehouse of Sima Changan's house could contain tens of millions of gold and silver jewelry.

…

Early the next morning, Wang Yue and others thought that Sima Changan was going to make a big noise, but the men responsible for surveillance said that Sima Changan's house was very quiet, and no one was sent north to deliver the news.

This makes people suspicious.

So, Wang Yue and Dongfang Bai were going to Chunyu's house to ask about the current situation.

Yue Lingshan and Yuan Jinxia didn't think about following, mainly because Wang Yue had already explained his plan to them, and they obeyed obediently.

After hearing Wang Yue's description, Yuan Jinxiahe and Yue Lingshan glanced at Dongfang Bai in surprise. Neither of them expected that one girl's family would have so many subordinates.

Yue Lingshan suddenly felt that Dongfang Bai was not bad. He had such great power, but he had never thought of using his power to overwhelm others.

She felt that she would not compete with Dongfang Bai in the future, after all, he had already lowered his profile.

Wang Yue didn't know what Yue Lingshan was thinking. He and Dongfang Bai came to Chunyu's house and got unexpected news.

It turned out that the eldest daughter of the Chunyu family was going to marry Sima Changan as his concubine.

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion, "Lu Yi, just a salt merchant, actually asked the daughter of the emperor merchant to be his concubine? Is this a slap in the face of your Lu family? You don't even care?" "

Lu Yi rolled his eyes at Wang Yue, and then said with dissatisfaction, "My cousin made a fool of himself and was found out. If the other party insists on reporting to the official, my cousin will definitely have no future."

After hearing this, Dongfang Bai said dissatisfiedly, "Is this the reason why you give up the happiness of a daughter's family? We are both children of the Chunyu family, why do you want to destroy your daughter's happiness to fulfill your son's family?"

Wang Yue had seen a lot, so he just asked with some suspicion, "The salt merchant dared to target the Chunyu family like this. He was obviously very confident. In our Ming Dynasty, apart from the emperor, only the Jin Yiwei was the only one who dared not to take the Jin Yiwei seriously. Two waves of people.”

After hearing Wang Yue's seemingly profound words, Lu Yi frowned and said, "Brother Wang means that this was either done by people from Dongchang or the Yan family?"

Wang Yue nodded and said very confidently, "I think the Yan family is more likely. The forces on the Dongchang side are more in Kyoto. If they want to fight you, they will definitely not be in Hangzhou."

Lu Yi thought about it for a while and felt that Wang Yue's analysis made sense. He continued to think about it and said, "The Yan family probably doesn't know that I am planning to deal with them, so it is unlikely that I will target our family. So what are they doing?" What?"

Wang Yue thought for a while and said with some doubts, "What is there about the Chunyu family that they should be worried about? A small horse farm shouldn't be that big of a deal. After all, there are plenty of bigger horse farms."

Lu Yi analyzed the Chunyu family's property and found that there was nothing worth fighting for, so he frowned and said, "The Chunyu family's property shop is also an ordinary business. The rest is that the hilltop of the racecourse is a little special. .”

Wang Yue had a flash of inspiration and said seriously, "Isn't there something wrong with those mountains?"

Lu Yi also thought of this, and he said with some uncertainty, "Is it possible that there are some gold, silver, and copper mines near the racecourse?"

Wang Yue curled his lips and said with disdain, "Sima Changan is the largest salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty. Do you think their family lacks that little money? Gold and silver are just numbers in their eyes."

When Lu Yi heard what Wang Yue said, he suddenly stood up and said in shock, "You mean there might be iron ore in this mountain?"

Wang Yue shrugged and said with some uncertainty, "I don't know. We need to go to the scene to check."

Dongfang Bai didn't speak from beginning to end. She found that when Wang Yue was thinking seriously, he seemed to be a different person, and the three of them couldn't move their eyes away.

Lu Yi didn't notice Dongfang Bai's reaction at all. He couldn't sit still anymore and immediately stood up and said to Wang Yue, "Then let's go now."

Dongfang Bai waved his hand and said very firmly, "No need to go. My men told me that someone seems to be mining ore in the mountains nearby. They checked and found that it is rich in iron."

Lu Yi opened his mouth, feeling that this matter was a bit big. You know, if you just want to make a fortune, everyone prefers gold, silver and copper mines. What can iron ore be used for? Of course it’s to make weapons!

He thought about what Wang Yue said about the Japanese pirates making strange movements, and he couldn't believe this fact. Could it be that Yan Song and his son wanted to use the Japanese pirates to rebel?

Thinking of this, Lu Yi quickly said to Wang Yue and the others, "In this case, I must investigate this matter clearly. Let's go and take a look now."

Wang Yue stopped him quickly and asked seriously, "How much do you know about Sima Chang'an?"

Lu Yi frowned and asked with some confusion, "He is probably from the Yan family. Did you discover anything?"

Wang Yue sighed and said very seriously, "We went to Sima's house last night to get something, but there has been no movement from the other party until now. I guess that either Sima Chang'an betrayed Yan Shifan, or Yan Shifan is at Sima's house."

After listening to Wang Yue's analysis, Lu Yi thought about it carefully. He remembered that there were records of Sima Changan's family in the Jinyiwei files.

This Sima Changan always wears a mask and talks about how ugly he looks.

However, according to the palmists' reports, Chang'an's bones should have grown to be very handsome at that moment.

So why is he wearing a mask?

Could it be that the real Sima Changan is Yan Shifan?

That's why you need to send a dummy to show up when it's not necessary. You just need to wear a mask, so that you can hide people's eyes and ears.

Thinking of this, he felt a little annoyed. He didn't expect such obvious traces.

So, he said with some frustration, "That Sima Changan is probably Yan Shifan!"

Wang Yue nodded and said seriously, "I guessed the same, but since he pretended that he was not Yan Shifan, what do you think would happen if Yan Shifan died in Sima Changan's house?"

When Lu Yi heard what Wang Yue said, he couldn't help but open his mouth. He felt that it was very inappropriate to do so, but he had to admit that it was a good move.

So, he asked tangledly, "Are you sure?"

Wang Yue nodded, shook his head, and said somewhat depressedly, "We managed to scare the snake yesterday. If it hadn't been for what happened yesterday, the success rate would have been very high."

Lu Yi thought for a while and then said seriously, "In that case, I will write a letter and tell His Majesty about Sima Changan's opening of iron mines. I think Yan Shifan will not be able to use Sima Changan's status to make money."

Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly, "The Yan family and his son have many gang members. Do you think Yan Shifan doesn't know that your letter has arrived in Kyoto?"

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I know! I heard that when our Jinyi Guards were preparing to attack him, do you think he still dared to set up an ambush in the mansion?"

Seeing how detailed Lu Yi's arrangements were, Wang Yue pointed out the key point again very directly, "How can you guarantee not to leak the news? How can you guarantee that Yan Shifan will stay at Sima's house? If you can't guarantee it, we may be escaped by him. .”

Lu Yi frowned. He couldn't guarantee it, so he asked doubtfully, "What do you think we should do?"

Wang Yue curled his lips and said casually, "Since he wants to disguise his identity, we will kill Yan Shifan and put the masks on the faces of Yan Shifan's men. In this case, not only will Yan Shifan's death be in vain, but it will also arouse the emperor's anger. Suspect."

Lu Yi nodded and asked seriously, "What should I do?"

Wang Yue suddenly had a bad smile on his face, but his words were very serious, "Didn't you want me to join Jinyiwei for a long time? Now the opportunity has come. Give me three sets of Jinyiwei costumes. The position cannot be too low."

Lu Yi immediately understood what was going on. For a salt merchant, Jin Yiwei could still investigate if he wanted to, as long as he was not afraid of offending the Yan family.

However, Lu Yi didn't care. After all, just as there were people from the Yan family and his son in Jinyiwei, there were also people from the Lu family on Yan Shifan's side.

So, without hesitation, he asked Cen Fu to prepare three sets of Jin Yiwei Qianhu's clothes for Wang Yue, but he also asked Wang Yue and three others to carry Dongchang's waistband with them.

Wang Yue glanced at the badge, but said nothing and went out with Yue Lingshan and Dongfang Bai.

After coming outside, Dongfang Bai frowned and said with some worry, "The Sima family's house is very big. After the last time, we must take strict precautions. We may not be able to find Yan Shifan."

Wang Yue also didn't expect that Yan Shifan was really Sima Changan. They had missed the best opportunity to kill Yan Shifan.

He shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I didn't say, let's do it now. This is not because we have received news. The Japanese pirates have landed in Xiuzhou, and the news was quickly lost. I guess one of their purposes It's Hangzhou. When Japanese pirates appear in Hangzhou, we'll go to Sima's house to have a look."

Seeing Wang Yue's arrangement, Dongfang Bai immediately became unhappy. She snorted coldly and said displeasedly, "Then let the Japanese pirates harm the countryside?"

Wang Yue smiled and quickly comforted him and said, "Only the three of us are going to go to Sima's house. The others are of course going to exterminate the Japanese pirates. After we have seen Sima's house, it won't be too late to go and help. You You don’t think that all your subordinates are losers, do you?”

Dongfang Bai saw that Wang Yue did not ignore the Japanese pirates, and she felt relieved. Although the Sun and Moon God Sect had a grudge against the Ming Dynasty, she was unwilling to let the aliens make the lives of Jiangnan miserable.
