The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 484 How did Miss Jiang know that you had been exposed?

A hint of darkness flashed across Shen Yanxi's eyes, and when he raised his head, he looked panicked and surprised. "Try me?" His voice was full of panic and doubt, and it was really hard to find any flaws. But the smile on Yan Wu's face became even stronger, cold and cold, like a lonely moon in the sky on a cold night. "What a good acting, Lord Shen!" As soon as these three words came out, almost everyone else present changed their faces. Even the guy standing next to Jiang Suining was surprised, and then his face darkened, and he said defensively: "You are from the court!" Now that the identity has been revealed, there is naturally no need to pretend anymore. The panic on Shen Yanxi's face faded, and he stood up straight and looked at Yan Wu. "I wonder where we were exposed?" "Lord Shen really underestimates our black market. Do you think we won't send someone to investigate after you and that Minister Pei leave the black market?" Yan Wu slowly adjusted his sleeves. "By the way, I am a humble person, but I have learned some medical skills and disguise skills despite my long-term illness. If Lord Shen needs a disguise next time, you can ask me. I promise that it will be better than the one on your face." "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Yan." Shen Yanxi's smile did not reach his eyes. While speaking, Yan Wu had already raised his crossbow and aimed it at Shen Yanxi. "What is the purpose of Lord Shen sneaking into the black market again and again?" Shen Yanxi did not move, "Of course it is to pick up goods." "That's all?" "That's all." Yan Wu narrowed his eyes again, as if he was considering whether to believe Shen Yanxi. "Shopkeeper Yan, although Lord Shen is indeed a member of the court, I am not. We are not here to do anything to the black market, but just to pick up goods. After getting the things, we will leave immediately and never set foot in the black market again." Jiang Mushi explained. "The things in this box are so important to you that it is worth it for a court official with a bright future to take the risk of disguising himself as a servant?" Facing Yan Wu's suspicion, Jiang Mushi spoke again: "This thing is not important to Lord Shen, but it is very important to me. Lord Shen came here to protect me." Yan Wu's tone was calm, "Then who are you?" Jiang Mushi glanced at Shen Yanxi and said, "I'm his brother-in-law. If anything happens to me, he won't be able to explain to my sister." "Is that so..." Yan Wu smiled, and his skinny knuckles rested on the box and tapped it intermittently, as if he was pondering the truth of what he said, or as if he was just watching a show, "I heard that Lord Shen's fiancée is from a merchant family and has done very good business in the imperial city. I wonder if it's true or not?" "Indeed." Shen Yanxi nodded. Yan Wu looked at Jiang Mushi again, "Since you are a merchant family, you will not do anything without profit. You are taking the risk to enter the black market. What benefits can the things in this box bring to you?" "Why should Shopkeeper Yan care about these things? The black market has its own rules. No matter what is in this box, since you have accepted this business, I think you will not break the rules." Shen Yanxi looked directly at Yan Wu, his tone slightly cold. "As long as you all die here, even if I break the rules, no one will know." Yan Wu glanced at Jiang Suining who was still standing silently beside him, and said in a cold tone, "Miss, your luck is really bad. You ran into these two plague gods. If you go to the underworld, don't blame me." "Miss..." Xier's face turned pale. Although the identity of the young lady has not been discovered, it is obvious that he does not intend to let the young lady go. What should I do? "Don't implicate the innocent!" Jiang Mushi spoke subconsciously, and his tone was instinctively anxious. "Innocent?" Yan Wu's smile became more and more cold and playful, "Well, even if you are innocent, what can you do? This is the black market, not the government office." "But..." "Mu Shi, don't say it." Jiang Suining suddenly spoke up and stopped Jiang Mushi. She walked to the side of Shen Yanxi and the others. Jiang Mushi was very nervous. He should keep a distance from them at this time. Why did the elder sister come over by herself? Shen Yanxi didn't look surprised or nervous. The moment Jiang Suining approached, she became more alert and guarded against Yan Wu's attack. Jiang Suining looked at Yan Wu, "Since Shopkeeper Yan has exposed it, why not expose it more thoroughly? Why pretend that you don't know my identity?" "It's not easy for a weak woman like Miss Jiang to visit the ghost market twice, so I plan to cooperate with you. But..." Yan Wu's face rarely showed some curiosity, "How did Miss Jiang know that you have been exposed?" "Shopkeeper, this..." The clerk looked confused and surprised. He was obviously unaware of Jiang Suining's identity. Yan Wu ignored the waiter and just looked at Jiang Suining inquiringly. Jiang Suining met that gaze and said, "Guessed." "Guessed?" "Yes." Yan Wu raised his eyebrows, "Then I wonder if Miss Jiang has guessed anything else?" "I guess that the Ministry of Justice has spies in the black market." "Sister, what did you say?" Jiang Mushi was surprised. Jiang Suining continued slowly, "Even if you are a master of disguise and can see through the disguised mask at a glance, if you don't know Shen Yanxi's identity in advance, how can you be so sure as before? Few people know about the trip to the black market tonight. I can only think of two possibilities that can make you so sure." Jiang Suining paused and turned to look at Shen Yanxi, who understood what she meant and took over the conversation. "One is that the person who disguised me tipped off in advance, but I can be sure that he is reliable, and he doesn't know the reason and purpose of my disguise, so the possibility of him leaking the news is very small. The other possibility is that the Ministry of Justice leaked the news." Jiang Suining retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "If it was the government, then the identities of all of us should have been laid out in front of you on tonight's trip." Although Pei Zhaozhi is cautious, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems with his people. After all, this matter was a bit hasty, not perfect, and far from being watertight. Yan Wu leaned on the wheelchair and looked at Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining. "You two are a good match." "So did we guess right?" Jiang Suining said. "Yes, the government has always had spies in the black market, but they will not be used unless there are special circumstances. When Lord Shen and that Minister Pei came to the black market for the first time, the host was worried that the court would have other actions, so he passed on the news to inquire." Yan Wu sighed, as if regretful, but also like mockery. "Come to think of it, when Miss Jiang and Lord Shen came separately last night, we really didn't find any problems. It's a pity that your luck was not very good. Just when you entered the escort agency, I just received the news of your true identity." Shen Yanxi's expression did not change, but there was a smile in his tone. "Perhaps, this is a good thing."
