Chapter 778 [Under the Brocade 74]
Yuan Jinxia ran back in a hurry, panting and found Yang Yue. She couldn't wait to tell him: "Yang Yue! It's bad, I just ran into Japanese pirates! And that Wang Mazi is here too. Things must not be as simple as they seem!"
Yang Yue's heart tightened when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter is serious. We must inform Lord Wu immediately!"
However, Yuan Jinxia looked worried and said, "Lord Wu may not trust us easily. Why don't we go to the fish market by the Qingbo River to check it out first?"
At the same time, Wang Mazi on the other side was holding a rattle tightly in his hand. He looked calm, but there was a hint of subtle tension deep in his eyes.
It is not difficult to imagine that he probably brought his wife and children with him, hiding cleverly in this bustling city.
Looking at Uncle Beggar and Lin Ling, the two were concentrating on treating the injured. Lin Ling suddenly noticed that Uncle Beggar seemed to have changed, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
You know, Uncle Beggar used to be obsessed with studying poisons. Facing Lin Ling's question, Uncle Beggar sighed helplessly and slowly explained: "In the past, I was so naughty, but most of the time I just wanted to get angry with you. But now it's different. As long as I can see that you are safe and sound, I will be satisfied. Since you came out of the maple forest, I have been worried every day, fearing that you would encounter something unexpected..."
Hearing this, Lin Ling smiled slightly and responded softly: "Fortunately, my sister's daughter has been found now. The next step is to clear the Lin family's grievances and redress their wrongs."
At this time, Uncle Beggar asked, "Have you thought about how to tell Junior Sister about this matter?"
Lin Ling nodded slightly and replied, "Junior Sister once promised to help me. As for how to do it, it all depends on her arrangements."
"I'm not doubting my junior sister. Think about it carefully. If the Yan family really falls, what will happen to our junior sister? You know, she is a legitimate daughter of the Yan family! How can she not be implicated?" Uncle Beggar said worriedly, his face full of anxiety.
Lin Ling on the side frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Of course I trust her, but brothers, don't forget that my junior sister's real surname is Ouyang." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had her own unique insights on the matter.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, clever Yuan Jinxia was carefully following the man named Wang Mazi. She was as agile as a cat, quietly moving through the streets and alleys, staring at the target in front of her. After some tracking, Yuan Jinxia finally succeeded in finding Wang Mazi's residence. Looking through the crack in the door, as expected, Wang Mazi was gathering with his wife and children.
Night fell quietly, and stars twinkled in the sky. Yuan Jinxia changed into a black nightgown and appeared near Wang Mazi's house like a ghost. She approached the house quietly and blew a puff of smoke into the window gap. After everyone in the house fell asleep, Yuan Jinxia quickly flashed into the room and began to search around.
Soon, Yuan Jinxia found a secret door behind the cabinet. After entering the secret door, she saw a small compartment. Inside the compartment was a huge wooden box. She curiously went forward to open the lid of the wooden box, and immediately a pungent smell of gunpowder hit her face - it turned out that the box was filled with gunpowder!
On the other hand, Yang Yue cleverly disguised himself as an ordinary fisherman and followed Wang Mazi quietly. Throughout the whole day, Yang Yue kept a close eye on Wang Mazi's every move. He noticed that Wang Mazi hardly fished seriously the whole night, just occasionally doing it. Just as dawn was about to break, a mysterious ship slowly approached and exchanged secret signals with Wang Mazi.
Yang Yue remembered what he saw and heard, and then returned to the post station carrying a large fresh fish. When he told Yuan Jinxia about these situations, the two looked at each other in confusion: What exactly did this series of strange actions mean? No matter how hard Yuan Jinxia racked her brains to think about it, she still couldn't figure out the deep meaning.
The morning sun shines on the sea, sparkling. Xie Xiao is busy remodeling the boat, concentrating on fiddling with various tools and materials, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Lu Yi stands quietly by, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes occasionally falling on Xie Xiao, as if observing his every move.
At this moment, Xie Xiao accidentally looked up and caught a glimpse of Lu Yi's leisurely appearance, and a nameless anger suddenly surged in his heart, "Hmph! This guy just knows how to watch the fun here!" As he thought, his hands' movements became more and more hurried.
On the other side, when the sky was just getting light, Yang Yue took Yuan Jinxia to a more secluded corner. From a distance, Wang Mazi could be seen making secret signals with another person. Yang Yue stared at this scene closely, feeling extremely anxious, and wanted to rush up and arrest Wang Mazi immediately. However, Yuan Jinxia beside him seemed particularly calm and composed. She whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, Wang Mazi can't get away."
Not long after, Yang Yue and Yuan Jinxia witnessed Wang Mazi leaving after completing the transaction with the man. Then, Yang Yue quickly brought a box full of firearms and hid it in the nearby bushes. At this moment, Yang Yue was extremely anxious and kept urging Yuan Jinxia to catch the man quickly. But Yuan Jinxia remained unmoved and calmly analyzed the situation.
At the same time, Yu Dayong suddenly discovered a group of suspicious people moving quickly towards Cengang while on patrol. His heart tightened, realizing that a crisis was about to come.
Meanwhile, Xie Xiao knew that he only had three days left to complete the ship's transformation. Time was running out and the pressure was overwhelming. Just when he was feeling anxious, Shangguan Xi showed up in time and expressed his willingness to help him rush the work to ensure that it could be completed within the stipulated time.
Yuan Jinxia and Yang Yue had been waiting outside Wang Mazi's house until his wife saw him off. In fact, Yuan Jinxia's real target was not Wang Mazi himself, but his Japanese wife. Although this approach might be a bit unscrupulous, she could not care less at this critical moment.
The two men rushed into the house without hesitation and shouted, "Someone reported that your family was hiding gunpowder!" Unfortunately, Wang Mazi's wife didn't understand what they were talking about at all, and just looked at the two strangers in front of her with a blank face. Seeing this, Yuan Jinxia couldn't help but be anxious, and couldn't hold back her inner impulse anymore, and flew over directly...
