Chapter 96: Do Not Be Exposed!

In the depths of the secluded alley, the cargo warehouse had high walls on all four sides, and the sound of dogs barking could be heard from time to time.

A harsh sound of metal rubbing rang out, the large iron gate slowly opened, and Du Sanye and Shopkeeper Xue walked out in a hurry, followed by four big men.

"You heard clearly? He said the Prince of Luling?"

"The small one heard it very clearly, it was the Prince of Luling."

"What exactly did he say? Don't miss a single word!!"

In the Le Mansion, Le Zhan, the Bieja of Jingzhou, held a teacup, his face full of astonishment: "A group of small thugs dare to kidnap people at the gate of the Langya Wang clan? Are they tired of living?"

Yuyang Le Pang looked at his father's expression and tentatively said: "Wang Yang was moving house at the time, I guess those people didn't know it was the Langya Wang clan..."

"Is the child kidnapped a member of the Langya Wang clan?"

Yuyang Le Pang blinked his eyes and, as if by divine intervention, replied: "Yes."

"What?!" Le Zhan slapped the teacup on the table, shocked: "That child is also a member of the Langya Wang clan?!"

Regarding this point, it was actually not in Wang Yang's plan; it was just Yuyang Le Pang's improvisation on a whim. Seeing his father's reaction was so great, it was exactly what he wanted. He thought to himself that he was really a little genius, and added: "Yes, maybe she came to Jingzhou to play with Wang Yang, and didn't expect to encounter such a thing..."

He originally wanted to exaggerate the seriousness so that his father would take the matter seriously, making it easier to help. But who would have thought that Le Zhan would get anxious directly:

"Kidnapping a member of the Langya Wang clan, isn't that rebellion?! You immediately take my post and have Jiangling County arrest the people! Go to the City Patrol Division, find Li Dayong to mobilize two teams of soldiers, and together with the people from the county government, raid that thieves' den! You must save the person!"

This case was major!

If a member of the Langya Wang clan really had an accident, it might be stabbed all the way to the imperial court!

Le Zhan thought for a moment and said: "No, I have to communicate with the officials of the provincial department."

Yuyang Le Pang thought: If we do this, won't my lie be blown up? He hurriedly tried to dissuade him:

"Father, don't be anxious. Those small thugs are just after money, nothing major will happen. Don't mobilize the soldiers yet; it would be bad if it spread..."

He was afraid that his explanation wouldn't carry enough weight, so he immediately added: "Wang Yang also means this, he doesn't want to make a big scene... Like this, I'll go save the person first, and I'll inform Father immediately after the person is saved!"

"Tell Wu Lü, if the person isn't saved, he can stop being the County Magistrate!"

"Yes, Father, don't worry!"

Chen Qingshan and the Strong Man were waiting outside the Le Mansion. Seeing Yuyang Le Pang come out of the mansion, the Strong Man asked anxiously: "Young Master Le, how is it?"

Yuyang Le Pang patted the paper post in his sleeve and said with confidence: "A small matter! Let's go, let's go to the county government first!"

"Does the county government have a ladder?" Chen Qingshan suddenly asked.

"What do you need a ladder for?"

Du Sanye walked very fast, feeling uneasy in his heart, but he wasn't afraid of Wang Yang questioning him about A-Wu.

Actually, he hadn't thought that Wang Yang would suspect him before. After all, so much time had passed, and there was no reason to suspect him!

Besides, even if he suspected, what could he do?

The so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the local snake. No matter how noble your bloodline is, you have no official position, just a student at the Commandery School. It seems there is no strong support at home. It seems there is a second uncle who is a Sanqi Vice Minister, but so what? Compared to the huge backer behind me, a Sanqi Vice Minister is not enough to look at!

No matter how you suspect, you can't move me anyway. When the city gate opens tomorrow, send the child out of the city, and then erase the traces, so there's even less to fear.

So he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, originally not intending to pay attention to Wang Yang, but Wang Yang mentioned the Prince of Luling, so the matter was different.

Could it be that he knew?

Impossible!

This matter is so hidden, he couldn't possibly know!

But he is of the Langya Wang clan,

Maybe he really found something?

Is he bluffing me?

Or did the news leak from somewhere else?

The matter is of great importance, Du Sanye can no longer sit still, he must confirm it personally!

Wang Yang didn't know anything.

He used the same logic to lure Du Sanye as he did to lure Shopkeeper Xue to find Du Sanye.

Shopkeeper Xue was afraid of ruining Du Sanye's business, so he didn't dare to make decisions at will, so he had to ask Du Sanye.

Who was Du Sanye afraid of ruining?

Naturally, the Prince of Luling.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Du Sanye was lured over, Wang Yang could only use the Prince of Luling as an excuse, but bluffing Du Sanye over was only the first hurdle. The harder hurdle was how to keep Du Sanye here and win time for Yuyang Le Pang and the others to act.

This hurdle was difficult in two places,

First, he couldn't let Du Sanye see that he was stalling for time.

Second, he didn't know what secrets Du Sanye and the Prince of Luling had, so there was no talk of involving the Prince of Luling.

But knowing has a way of involving;

Not knowing has a way of involving.

Just like a merchant who plays the wolf with empty hands and wants to lobby a group of investors without capital,

Just like a magician who wants to show a brilliant sleight of hand to picky and shrewd audiences,

Wang Yang was the same as them,

The only thing he had to ensure was—not to be exposed!

As soon as Du Sanye arrived, he ordered his men to close the shop and dismissed everyone.

Seeing this, Wang Yang also asked the four Le Mansion attendants to wait outside the door.

"Young Master Wang, long time no see. I don't know what instructions you have for visiting today?"

Although Du Sanye was uneasy in his heart, he still had a warm smile on his face.

Wang Yang looked at Du Sanye and tutted: "You really have guts!" After a slight pause, his tone was playful: "Of course, it's still not as gutsy as the Prince of Luling."

This sentence was fine.

You, Du Sanye, rely on the Prince of Luling, cross the underworld and the authorities in Jingzhou, and dare to kidnap people in the street. Saying you have guts is not wrong, right?

As for the Prince of Luling, although Wang Yang didn't know his temperament, since he was a prince, saying his guts were bigger than yours was not wrong, right?

But these words heard in Du Sanye's ears were no different from a stormy sea!

Could it be that he knew?

Impossible!

Even if he guessed that A-Wu was kidnapped by me, how could he possibly think it was the Prince?!

But why did he say that??

Du Sanye's smile faded a bit: "This small person doesn't know what the Young Master means? And what does it have to do with the Prince?"

Wang Yang tapped his palm with his folding fan, his tone mocking: "It's come to this, and you can still be so calm. Admirable, truly admirable."

Du Sanye's expression became a bit unnatural: "Young Master Wang, please speak directly if you have something to say."

Wang Yang's mouth had a smile that wasn't a smile, and his eyes revealed a teasing meaning, as if he were teasing a child, and as if he were playing with a trapped beast that was destined not to escape, and he said slowly:

"Are you sure you want me to speak directly? Some things, if spoken directly, might not be good for you." Speaking of which, he paused again, and then emphasized his tone: "For the Prince, it's even worse."

Du Sanye's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, his heart seemed to be holding a thumping drum, and his palms seemed to be trembling slightly with the drumbeat, but he stopped it in time...

At this time, in the depths of the secluded alley, the sound of dogs barking rose, and the large iron gate was knocked with a clanging sound.

"Who is it?" A low drink came from inside the iron gate.

"The Third Master sent me."

"Oh..."

"Idiot, don't open the door!"

"You said the Third Master sent you, do you know the secret code?"

"I know."

"Say it."

Under the moonlight, a group of figures climbed up the wall along bamboo ladders.

"Say it!" urged the person inside the door.

A black-clad woman suddenly jumped onto the wall, her clothes dancing with the wind like black butterfly wings.

"There's someone on the wall! Raid the house—"

The flying dagger left her hand, a cold light flashed, and it went straight into the throat of the person calling for the warning!

More than a dozen archers appeared on the wall, drawing bows and arrows: "Jiangling County is arresting criminals, those who resist will be killed!"
