Chapter 230 Rashomon
Suzaku accepted the bet.
It seemed to be an unequal bet, after all, if one loses, he only needs to call her good sister, and if the other loses, he has to reveal his identity.
But Suzaku never thought that he might lose.
As one of the strongest men in the world, he has his own pride and confidence. As the dignified Suzaku Venerable, he can suppress all the forces in this city by himself. The most he needs your help is to help him and get some intelligence information. How could he really rely on him?
It would be interesting to get him to call her good sister in the future.
The two of them acted separately, and Suzaku went to Pinghu Club leisurely.
Assuming that He Lei had recuperated here and had left now, he could not get any truth from secretly questioning the backyard servants. If he wanted to investigate, he had to catch a senior official to ask, but it would be easy to alert the enemy. Suzaku decided to temporarily ignore this matter and purely ask Pinghu Club about "unifying Jianhu City".
This was indeed the task that the Four Symbols Sect asked Wei Yueyan to do in Jianhu City, and they provided a lot of resources and manpower support. This is also one of the examples of what Zhuque said, "The potential power of the Holy Church is much greater than you think."
How to unify it is Wei Yueyan's sole responsibility. Zhuque did not interfere. Maybe she reported the progress to the headquarters, but Zhuque was away for a while and could not receive information.
Excluding the matter of the Hu people, Wei Yueyan seemed to have done a perfect job in the task of unifying Jianhu City. As for using Han Wubing, it was really not a big deal from Zhuque's perspective. If she operated it herself, Han Wubing might have been killed...
She thought about it, reluctantly took off the pig mask, and changed back to the Winged Fire Snake.
Yan Lianping, the president of Pinghu Association, was discussing the affairs of the city with his subordinates in the meeting room: "How is the inheritance of Xingyi Gang's property?"
"Generally speaking, it's fine. There are only shops on Taiping Street left. The Ji family said that it is a personal property and will be left to their son to inherit. It has nothing to do with the gang's property."
"Did the people who went to kill the son of the Ji family reply?"
"They have blocked him on the road and killed him. The Ji family doesn't know yet. I guess there will be news tomorrow."
"Well... the son of the Ji family worships the Shenhuang Sect. Although he is only an outer disciple, this matter should not be made public."
"Then are the old and young of the Ji family..." The subordinate said and made a cutting gesture.
"No, their young master is dead, what else can they do? They can raise the old, young, women and children, and earn a reputation, and stabilize the old members of Xingyi Gang... Xingyi Gang has quite a few strong players, and they are still very useful. We want to unify Jianhu City, and we can't kill everyone, so how can we fight Sha Qi and others?"
"The president is wise."
"Is there any news about Han Wubing?"
"No... It's like he has completely disappeared. The old members of Xingyi Gang are now searching for him all over the world."
"What a pity..." When he said it was a pity, his tone was still very flat, and he didn't feel it was a pity.
The subordinate said: "Whether he left or lurked somewhere in the city, he is only the seventh level of Xuanguan anyway. No matter how strong his potential is, it will be a matter of the future. One person can't change the world."
"Well... Go, you guys take care of the reorganization of Xingyi Gang, I want to rest."
The subordinate said goodbye: "The president has worked hard recently, rest well."
The hall was soon empty, Yan Lianping sat alone in the main seat and thought quietly for a while, his face flickered in the swaying candlelight.
After a long while, he slowly said: "Who is the master who is here? Why don't you show up?"
The candlelight flickered, the wind blew, and Zhuque wearing a Winged Fire Snake mask suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Winged Fire Snake?" Yan Lianping frowned: "Isn't this position vacant? New here? Or..."
He suddenly made a move in the middle of his speech, and a shuttle silently attacked the shoulder of the Winged Fire Snake.
The shuttle suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Yan Lianping's pupils shrank slightly: "What a spirit snake spitting out its tongue... It's actually a winged fire snake."
Suzaku laughed in his heart and said lightly: "I heard that there was a change in Jianhu City. The Venerable asked me to ask about the situation and whether I need help."
Yan Lianping immediately said: "You came at the right time. We do need help."
"Huh?"
"First of all, Han Wubing escaped, and there must be changes. I am here and cannot act rashly. Others are not Han Wubing's opponents. It would be best if you can take his life."
"Han Wubing has an old relationship with the Saint, why is it so troublesome?"
"I don't know, we originally used this The reason was that we cooperated with him, and Ji Yinan was indeed killed by him, but for some reason he suddenly changed his face, and we were also puzzled. But no matter what the reason, since he changed his face and wanted to kill us, we can't just sit and wait for death. "
Suzaku asked: "Just because it is the Four Symbols Sect, he is willing to help you kill people?"
"Because he found out that Ji Yinan colluded with the Hu people and took in the injured mad lion He Lei. Originally, Han Wubing wanted to kill He Lei, but he was a step too late. He Lei had already left, and the target became Ji Yinan. It was originally a pleasant cooperation, and I don't know why it changed. "
Suzaku was stunned.
This is different from what Wei Zicai said... Looking at Yan Lianping's frank attitude, it really doesn't seem fake, and this matter is easy to expose. Whether He Lei lives in Pinghu Club or Xingyi Gang should be easy to find out. Why is the difference so big?
Confused in his heart, his tone is still calm: "Besides Han Wubing, what else is there?"
"Now we have taken advantage of the situation and incorporated the Xingyi Gang. After it is completely digested, our reputation and strength will be considered the first in the city. The next step should be to talk to Sha Qi from Kang Le Gambling House. If he understands the situation, that's all. If he doesn't..." Yan Lianping said: "I sent a letter to the general altar yesterday to ask Your Majesty to tell you whether Ying Wu will personally intervene in the gang hegemony in Jianhu City?"
Suzaku asked knowingly: "So what if it happens, and what if it doesn't?"
"If Ying Wuhui personally intervenes in the matter here, then His Holiness must come forward to negotiate with him. If he does not intervene and just deal with it as the subordinate gangs fight among themselves, then we may be able to prepare for a war with Kangle Gambling House. I think the main thing is Sha Qi’s name is similar to that of Ying Wu, and I’m afraid they are a bit similar in nature…”
Suzaku pretended to be cute: "Is that so...I am not very clear about the things behind this, so I will also write to the venerable to ask."
"Yes." Yan Lianping smiled broadly: "I didn't expect that it's getting late for the new sister in the teaching. Let's have a good night's rest. I'll hold a banquet for my brother tomorrow to welcome you."
…………
When Zhuque was pretending to be a newbie in Pinghu, Zhao Changhe went to Ji's house.
As soon as the little pig's mask was taken off and a layer of disguise ointment was applied on his face, he soon turned into a rough man with a sallow complexion, exactly the same appearance he had when he attacked and killed Fa Sheng.
There is no need to hide the broad sword on the back, because now there are more of them.
The head of the Ji family was recently bereaved, and his body was still at home, with white flags everywhere. While walking on the road, I heard others talking: "Why hasn't Mr. Ji come back yet? It's been several days..."
"The Shenhuang Sect is a bit far away. The news has just arrived... Alas, it's useless for the young master to come back. He is just an outer disciple of the Shenhuang Sect. If he can learn anything, the Shenhuang Sect will not do anything for him. Get ahead."
"Aren't you from the Shenhuang Sect?"
"It's just a gang to support, there are too many in the world."
Zhao Changhe silently listened to the whispers around him, and walked all the way to the door of Ji's house. He was quickly stopped by someone, and the gatekeeper was also weak: "Here, our master has just passed away. If you come to pay homage, please leave your name."
Zhao Changhe directly learned and sold it: "I am from the Shenhuang Sect. Junior Brother Ji will not be able to rush back in a while, so he asked me to come to pay homage to my uncle first and see if there is anything at home that needs help."
The guard was overjoyed, and someone immediately rushed in: "Madam, madam! The young master's senior brother is here!"
Soon a middle-aged woman came out and cried at Zhao Changhe from afar: "Young hero, you must uphold justice for our master..."
Zhao Changhe remained calm: "Madam, don't be impatient. Take me in first to pay homage. You can tell me the specific situation slowly."
He didn't hear the information from Suzaku... but this matter made him feel very complicated from the beginning. There were too many forces involved, and it really wasn't necessarily a matter of a city gang fight.
It's useless to ask anyone about this kind of thing. Maybe the best answer is to ask the corpse.
