"Commander Sun, you're mistaken about that,"

Ou Peng laughed,

"This Yang Jieji has no children,"

"Secondly, his wife,"

"It's probably not going to be an easy thing to do."

"You never know when something bad might happen..."

"What's wrong, Brother Ou Peng? Have you figured something out?"

Sun Li asked in surprise.

"The way that woman looked just now,"

Ou Peng said with a hint of smugness,

"You've all seen it,"

"She is both beautiful and charming,"

"If such a woman were docile,"

"That is naturally a blessing for Yang Jieji."

"Women are like that, the problem is she might be restless..."

"What happened?"

Sick Yuchi asked in surprise,

"Brother Ou Peng, the implication in your words..."

"Is it saying that Yang Jieji's wife is unfaithful?"

"You don't understand what I mean by 'helping you out',"

Ou Peng chuckled.

"That woman just put out the food,"

"He glanced at me specifically before leaving,"

"Seeing this made my bones feel like they were melting."

"That look in her eyes, it's almost exactly like the girls in those brothels,"

"Could a woman like that be content with her lot?"

"Brother Ou Peng, are you serious?"

Sun Li asked in surprise,

"I didn't notice that just now."

"Brother Commander, would I lie about something like this?"

Ou Peng chuckled.

"This woman is in Yang Jieji's family,"

"I'm afraid something bad is going to happen soon."

"Wouldn't it be perfect if something went wrong?"

Wu Yong opened his mouth and laughed.

“What Commander Sun said just now is correct,”

"With a family and a career, this Yang Jieji obviously won't come up the mountain with us."

"But what if something happens to his family?"

"Then, when we want to find him to go up the mountain again,"

"Wouldn't that make things much easier?"

"His wife is a troublemaker,"

"If only we could leave before..."

"Make something happen,"

"That would be the best!"

"And if she can't do it,"

"We can help her get it done too!"

"Rest assured, strategist."

Ou Peng immediately understood Wu Yong's meaning.

"After I got back, I arranged for my henchmen to keep an eye on Yang Jieji's family..."

Chapter 1347 Stealing a Person

"This slut can't stand being alone,"

Ou Peng chuckled.

"If she weren't a woman in Yang Jieji's family..."

"I absolutely must try the taste of that water snake waist."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore,"

Sun Li chuckled.

"Be careful that Yang Jieji doesn't overhear."

"Rest assured, Commander, you must not covet your brother's wife."

Ou Peng laughed,

"However, this woman couldn't hook up with me today,"

"She'll find other men sooner or later,"

"If you ask me, it probably won't take more than two months,"

"This woman is sure to make Yang Jieji wear a green hat."

...

The three chatted and laughed as they returned to the inn.

In the days to come,

Wu Yong and his two companions waited for Huai Xi Wang Qing to return.

Meanwhile, they sent people to keep an eye on Yang Xiong's house.

Yang Xiong was unaware of this.

Wu Yong and others have already set their sights on him.

Every few days,

He then invited Wu Yong and the others to his home for a meal.

After several times,

Perhaps it's because of the preconceived notions that Ou Peng mentioned.

Even Wu Yong and Sun Li,

They all noticed that something was wrong with Yang Xiong's wife, Pan Qiaoyun.

To avoid suspicion,

To avoid causing any gossip,

It will be difficult to get along with Yang Xiong in the future.

And just as Ou Peng said before,

After Wu Yong and others stopped visiting,

It has only been ten days or so.

The lackey that Ou Peng sent to keep an eye on the Yang family.

He then returned to report.

"They said that recently, every time Yang Jieji went out on night duty,"

"Then a monk slipped into the Yang family's house through the back door,"

"We didn't leave until it was almost dawn."

"Monk?"

Sun Li asked in surprise,

"Where did this monk come from?"

"I've already inquired,"

The henchman replied,

"That monk should be a monk from Bao'en Temple, named Pei Ruhai,"

“A few days ago, the Yang family got a woman,”

"The excuse was to hold a memorial service for her deceased husband,"

"So he invited the monk to his home."

“After that, the woman frequently went to Bao'en Temple to seduce the monk,”

"Perhaps it's just that they're afraid of going too often,"

"Someone found out."

"So later on, I started hanging out with the Yang family."

"Do they use any secret signals when they act at night?"

Wu Yong inquired.

"That's still unclear,"

The henchman shook his head and said,

"However, I noticed that around midnight,"

“There was always a wandering ascetic who would go behind the Yang family's house and loudly chant Buddha's name, while vigorously striking the wooden fish drum,”

"I suspect that this ascetic might be the one secretly informing that adulterous couple."

"Strategist, as long as we capture this ascetic..."

"Things will become clear then."

"Don't disturb that ascetic yet,"

Wu Yong pondered for a moment,

"Wait for news from Wang Qing of Huaixi,"

"It's not too late for us to expose this later."

"It would be best if we could bring Yang Xiong to our Erlong Mountain,"

"But we can't let this trip north be delayed."

"It seems we can only wrong Yang Jieji."

Ou Peng laughed,

"Let's wear this green hat for a couple more days."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong and Sun Li
