Chapter 230 Rashomon
Suzaku accepted the bet.
It seems 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 face.
But Suzaku never thought that he might lose.
As one of the few strong men in the world, he has pride and self-confidence. The dignified Lord Suzaku can suppress all the forces in this city by himself. He will need your help at most to get started and collect information. How can you really rely on him?
It’s quite interesting to get him to call me a good sister from now on.
The two of them went their separate ways, and Zhuque went to the Pinghu meeting leisurely.
Suppose that He Lei had recovered from his injuries here and was gone now. Even if he secretly asked the handyman in the backyard and asked him, he would not be able to find out the truth. If he wanted to investigate, he would have to ask a high-level person to ask, but it would be easy to alert the snake. Suzaku decided to pretend that this matter did not exist for the time being, and just came to ask about Pinghu Association's "unification of Jianhu City".
This is indeed a task that the Four Symbols Sect asked Wei Yueyan to do in Jianhu City, and it provided a lot of resources and manpower support. It is also an example of what Suzaku said: "The potential power of the Holy Religion is much greater than you think."
Wei Yueyan is solely responsible for how to unify the situation. Suzaku did not interfere anymore. He may have reported the progress to the general forum, but Suzaku has been away from home for a while and has no way to receive information.
Excluding the barbarian affairs, Wei Yueyan seemed to have done a perfect job in unifying Jianhu City. As for using Han Wubing, from Suzaku's perspective, that's really not a problem. If she had done it by herself, Han Wubing might have been killed...
She thought for a while, then reluctantly took off the pig mask and replaced it with the Winged Fire Snake.
Yan Lianping, president of the Pinghu Association, was discussing matters in the city with his subordinates in the meeting hall: "How is the reception of Xingyi Gang's properties?"
“It’s generally fine, except for the shops on Taiping Street. The Ji family said that it is personal property and will be inherited by their son, and has nothing to do with the gang property.”
“Have you received any reply from those who went to kill Mr. Ji?”
"They have been blocked and killed on the road. The Ji family doesn't know yet. I guess there will be news tomorrow."
"Well... Young Master Ji is a disciple of the Shenhuang Sect. Although he is only an outer disciple, it is still not appropriate to make it public."
"Then the young and old of the Ji family..." the subordinate said and made a "cheating" gesture.
"No, their young masters are dead, so what else can they do? They can keep the old, young, women and children alive, earn a reputation, and stabilize the old Xingyi Gang... The Xingyi Gang has some strong players, and they are very useful. We want to unify We can’t kill everyone in Jianhu City, so how can we fight against Sha Qi and the others?”
“The president is wise.”
“Is there any news about Han Wubing?”
“No…it’s like he’s completely missing. The old Xingyi Gang is now searching for him all over the world.”
"What a pity..." He said it was a pity, but his tone was still very calm, and he didn't feel it was a pity.
The subordinate said: "Whether he is gone or lurking somewhere in the city, he is only at the seventh level of the entrance. No matter how strong his potential is, it will only happen in the future. One person cannot change the sky."
"Well... go ahead and put some effort into reorganizing the Xingyi Gang. I'm going to have a rest."
The subordinate resigned: "President, he has been working hard recently and wants to take a good rest."
The hall soon became empty. Yan Lianping sat alone on the main seat and thought quietly for a while, his face flickering in the flickering candlelight.
After a while, he slowly said: "Where is the master coming from? Why don't you show up and meet him?"
Candlelight flickered, the wind blew past, and Suzaku wearing a winged fire snake mask suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Winged Fire Snake?" Yan Lianping frowned: "Isn't this position vacant? Is it new? Or..."
Halfway through speaking, he made a sudden move, and a flying shuttle silently hit the Winged Fire Snake's shoulder.
Yan Lianping's pupils narrowed: "What a spiritual snake spitting a message...it is actually a fire-winged snake." Suzaku was amused in his heart and said calmly: "I heard that there have been changes in Jianhu City, Your Majesty asked me to ask about the situation and if you need help."
Yan Lianping immediately said: "You came at the right time. We really need help."
"Um?"
"First of all, Han Wubing escaped, something will happen. I am here and cannot act rashly. Others are not Han Wubing's opponents. It would be best if you could take his life."
“Han Wubing and the Saint have an old relationship, why are they making such a fuss?”
"I don't know. We originally used this reason to cooperate with him. Ji Yinan was indeed killed by him, but for some reason he suddenly changed his face. We were also puzzled. But no matter what the reason, since he changed his face and wanted to kill We, we can’t sit still and wait for death.”
Suzaku asked: "Just because he is a member of the Four Symbols Sect, he is willing to help you kill people?"
"It was because he discovered that Ji Yinan was colluding with the barbarians to take in the injured mad lion He Lei. Originally, Han Wubing wanted to kill He Lei, but it was too late. He Lei had already left, and the target became Ji Yi Nan. Yinan. It was a pleasant cooperation at first, but I don’t know why it changed.”
Zhuque was stunned.
This is different from what Wei Zicai said... Judging from Yan Lianping's calm attitude, it really doesn't look fake, and it is easy to get through the gang. It should be very easy whether He Lei lives in Pinghu Club or Xingyi Gang. How come there is such a big difference in the interpretation of what was discovered?
Confused in his heart, his tone remained 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 Kangle Gambling House. If he knows each other, that's fine. If he doesn't..." Yan Lian Ping said: "I sent a letter to the General Altar yesterday to ask Your Majesty to tell me whether Ying Wu will personally intervene in the gang struggle for hegemony in Jianhu City?"
Suzaku asked knowingly: "So what if it happens, and what if it doesn't happen?"
"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: "That's it... I'm not very clear about the things behind this, so I'll write to the Venerable and ask."
"Yeah." Yan Lianping smiled broadly: "I didn't expect that it's getting late for the new sister in the church. Let's have a good night's sleep. I'll hold a banquet for my brother tomorrow to welcome you and wash away the dust."
…
When Zhuque was pretending to be cute in Pinghu, Zhao Changhe went to Ji's house.
As soon as Xiaozhu took off his mask and smeared a layer of disguise ointment on his face, he soon turned into a rough man with a sallow yellow face, exactly the way he looked 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 has recently lost his family, and his body is 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. What can he learn? The Shenhuang Sect will not stand up for him. ”
“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 come back in time, so he asked me to come first to pay homage to my uncle and see if there is anything I need help with at home."
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 said calmly: "Madam, don't be impatient. Take me in first to worship for a moment or two. 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.
