Chapter 889: Southeast, Northwest, Central
"Oh, I see, according to what you say, your Deng family and the business alliances that appeared later, the opening up of sea routes, and so on, were all made by your precious son? What's his name, Deng Xiaomao? ”
Zhou Yue said lightly, it seemed that he knew everything about it, but in his heart, the huge waves were rolling, and he couldn't calm down for a moment.
Yesterday, he didn't think there was much of a problem, but after reading all the information that Cai Yan specially left him, as well as the final message, he was almost scared out of a cold sweat.
I even understood why Cai Yan and Liu Yue chose to retreat at this time, their retreat was fake, and it was true to investigate this matter secretly!
As for why such a heavy thing was in the first few months, Cai Yan and Liu Yue didn't do it, it was entirely because of the rat trap, it was a critical time for the construction of the White Tiger City, and there was a huge pressure from the Mongolian army to invade the east at any time, so even if it was Cai Yan's ability, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
But now, the Mongols' eastern expeditionary army has been defeated, and it will enter a stable period in the next two or three years, so Cai Yan and Liu Yue have decided to take action in unison, but if they can both use the retreat and pregnancy to secretly investigate, it is conceivable that the matter is already strict!
According to the information and letters left by Cai Yan, in fact, they were also very puzzled about this matter, and they didn't even suspect it at all a few months ago, but later, as the business alliance led by Old Man Deng snowballed, it became bigger and bigger.
In order to sanction his relatives and prevent the Deng family from causing some troubles, Cai Yancai joined forces with Liu Yue, He Qingming, Xiao Guanyin and others, and began to weaken the Deng family under the pretense of establishing the Tsing Yi Army at that time.
Originally, this was not malicious, just to prevent one family from becoming dominant, and it was not really to deal with the Deng family.
But who expected that in the process, Cai Yan, Liu Yue and others unexpectedly discovered a big secret!
Prior to this, the Deng family could be regarded as the number one wealthy family in Zhou Yue's forces, especially when dealing with Jin Lixi and his gang that day, the old man Deng was simply possessed by a god, wise and martial, decisive in killing, and scheming, that series of layouts and plans, that is, Claire, who witnessed this with her own eyes that day, and Cai Yan, who only heard about it later, must be admired very much!
At that time, everyone thought that the Deng family had created such a huge foundation was entirely due to the old man Deng, and what was even more rare was that the old man Deng was also very knowledgeable, knew how to advance and retreat, was very modest, very good at self-blackening, went to the Qinglou when he had nothing to do, took concubines at two ends in three days, and was good at eating, drinking, and having fun!
Cai Yan had to evaluate Old Man Deng at the beginning, he was hidden in the city, and he was really a master!
Because Old Man Deng is so ridiculous, it just shows that he has no ambition, but Old Man Deng's various methods are enough to prove that this is an old and strong old fox!
However, Cai Yan and Liu Yue accidentally discovered that Old Man Deng is actually not the real hero of the rise of the Deng family, he is real, he is an ordinary person with a little cleverness and a little general knowledge, his greed, his lust, his cheesiness, and his various appearances, not because he is high and low, pretending to be crazy and stupid, but because his nature is like this!
In other words, he was completely trapped in the pile of money and beauties, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was completely special except for the two skills of carpentry and cooking.
The real messenger of the Deng family, there are other people!
This kind of discovery naturally shocked Cai Yan and Liu Yue, but the two of them secretly investigated for a long time, but they found nothing, without any clues, and because Old Man Deng's stallion ability is too powerful, almost twenty or thirty sons are basically adults, plus he is almost married to more than half of the small and medium-sized families, this messy relationship network is almost all over Zhou Yue's entire power.
In addition, due to Old Man Deng's generous moves, many of Zhou Yue's core and important people have close contacts with him.
In this case, even Cai Yan and Liu Yue could not directly inform Zhou Yue of this matter.
So the matter was dragged down.
Later, it was the construction plan of the White Tiger City that was proposed, and Cai Yan was even more busy with this matter, and she couldn't care about investigating it again, after all, in her opinion, the Deng family was the real master of the old man Deng, and it was good for another master to be manipulated by stealth, the meat was always rotten in the pot, and Deng Xiaomiao was Zhou Yue's concubine, even if the Deng family controlled the military power, it couldn't make big waves, not to mention that the military power was not in the hands of the Deng family.
However, Cai Yan also instructed Liu Yue to pay attention to check, not any hostility, at that time, Cai Yan thought that since the Deng family had such a business master, it would be a waste not to come out to plan for Zhou Yue.
Liu Yue's investigation was a full four months, and in four months, Liu Yue still did not find any clues about the 'master' of the Deng family, but in these four months, the business alliance led by the Deng family was actually soaring, and the business was so hot that it doubled every month, and the White Tiger City built by Cai Yan raised 10 million gold from it, plus a loan of 20 million gold.
The business alliance led by the Deng family has also expanded more and more into a huge monster, so that it is impossible for Cai Yan and Liu Yue to suppress it, because many of their own things, such as military expenses and the construction of the White Tiger City, have to rely on this behemoth.
At this time, if they dared to do anything to this behemoth, not to mention anything else, first of all, the materials needed for the construction of the White Tiger City would be cut off immediately.
Therefore, Cai Yan and Liu Yue basically extinguished all their thoughts at this time, and they would not mention it to Zhou Yue.
But the turning point of the matter was ten days ago, that is, when Zhou Yue was struggling to seize the branch dragon vein in Changbai Mountain, because Cai Yan was very unhappy with the Nanshan and Beishan brothers who guided Zhou Yue to fight for the branch dragon vein, so he entrusted Ma Yunmeng to go to the Longmen Inn to check, after all, because of Ma Chao's relationship, the Longmen Inn was also quite polite to Ma Yunmeng, this kind of trivial matter, she just said a word and got it done, if it was someone else, she had to take out a few hundred chivalrous points to get a response.
Sure enough, in less than two days, the Dragon Gate Inn sent a very detailed information.
And after Ma Yunmeng and Cai Yan got this information, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.
Because according to this information from the Dragon Gate Inn, that old beggar from Nanshan and Beishan turned out to be a generation of the Han Empire, a registered disciple of Dongfang Shuo, and they were also the secret spies of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty!
In addition to Mr. Nanshan and Mr. Beishan, Dongfang Shuo also has three apprentices, one is called Mr. Xishan and the other is Mr. Dongshan, all of whom are registered disciples, but the only descendant disciple is called Mr. Zhongshan.
In the southeast, northwest, and northwest, there are five people, all of whom are secret spies under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who enjoy special benefits!
And the task they shouldered was originally top secret, but the Dragon Gate Inn is not a vegetarian, so I still know a little, but this is also given for the sake of Ma Chao's face.
According to the analysis of the Dragon Gate Inn, the five secret spies in the southeast, northwest, and northwest under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are tasked with cultivating puppets for the Han Empire, or cannon fodder.
Among them, Mr. Kitayama is in charge of the Northeast region, where he examines the small princes to see which prince has more development potential.
Then, this Mr. Beishan took a fancy to Zhou Yue, although at that time, Tang Kun, Chu Haoran, Wang Zeng and other military forces still existed, but it didn't matter, it was the so-called trickle of water.
Mr. Kitayama didn't know what means he used, so he broke into Zhou Yue's interior.
This is the information obtained by the Dragon Gate Inn, and it is not clear how Mr. Beishan broke into Zhou Yue's interior and what face he used to appear.
As for Mr. Na Xishan, he has successfully broken into the subordinates of Yun Fan, who dominates the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and calls himself General Feiyun, and has won Yun Fan's absolute trust.
And Mr. Dongshan didn't know that he had broken into the hands of that little prince.
As for Mr. Nanshan, he failed to infiltrate and was recognized by a very powerful and resourceful prince in the south.
However, the most powerful, Mr. Zhongshan, Dongfang Shuo's descendant disciple, is nowhere to be found, and he doesn't know which princes' forces he has entered.
These top-secret information made Cai Yan and Ma Yunmeng so frightened!
And Cai Yan immediately thought of the hidden master of the Deng family, who was hidden behind the scenes, able to call the wind and rain, as if the God of Wealth was alive!
In fact, originally, she may not have thought of the Deng family at once, but when she was investigating the Deng family, maybe it was Mr. Beishan who added to the snake, deliberately exposed the horse's feet, and attracted Cai Yan's attention to the White Lotus Sect in a way that caused trouble.
But this time, Mr. Nanshan and Mr. Beishan appeared at the same time, and induced Zhou Yue to go to Changbai Mountain to seize the branch dragon vein, which made Cai Yan extra vigilant!
But this time, she didn't startle the snake, but entrusted Ma Yunmeng to let her continue to ask the Longmen Inn to focus on investigating the Deng family's business.
This is also the reason why Ma Yunmeng must have asked Zhou Yue to sell a magic arrow to the Longmen Inn later, and he owed a favor!
However, the investigation was very long, and it was not until the Mongol Crusade army was finally defeated that the Dragon Gate Inn sent the final results of the investigation.
As soon as he saw this result, Cai Yan and Liu Yue decided to secretly arrange it in a retreat, but how to deal with it was up to Zhou Yue to judge by himself!
Because today, the Deng family's business alliance is already like a blood system in the body, indispensable, and it is not impossible to do it if you want to, but it will lead to a complete regression, and it is light to say that the strength has plummeted.
For this reason, Cai Yan was helpless.
So in the letter she left to Zhou Yue, she could only say that it was secretly arranged by her, Liu Yue and others, to see if she could find a way to get the best of both worlds?
