The sun rose again from the east, and Jinling City, which had been dormant all night, came to life again.
Of course, most people in the city still don't know that many people died in Songzhu Pavilion last night, and they don't know that the Jinyiwei sent out a large force to surround the Xuanguo Duke's mansion and the city patrol department.
Ji Gang, who opened the gambling shop, also didn't know this.
Because Zhang Ren disrupted the situation yesterday, Ji Gang first settled down the injured brother and was busy for a long time. Then he followed the remaining brothers and drank all night. It was not until dawn that he walked to the gambling house smelling of alcohol.
When Ji Gang entered the gambling house, he felt that there was someone sitting there above the main seat of the gambling house. He thought he was dazzled by drinking too much, so he rubbed his blurred eyes and looked carefully again.
It didn't matter. Ji Gang's drunkenness immediately dissipated.
Because there is indeed someone sitting on the main seat of the gambling house, and this person is none other than Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren didn't sleep all night. He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes. Coupled with his cold aura at the moment, he looked somewhat scary.
Although Ji Gang was scared inside, he still stepped forward and said, "Sir, it's so early."
Zhang Ren exhaled a puff of turbid air and said, "You are a smart person and like to waver, but do you know that it is easy for both parties to please you?"
Ji Gang smiled awkwardly. He already understood what Zhang Ren meant, but he understood many things clearly but could not admit them.
Just listen to Ji Gang said: "Sir, you are joking. Yesterday, you came to ask for information about the beggar with a broken leg. I have informed you of the location of the butcher's door, and I have also heard about it. Yesterday, my Lord wiped out the butcher's door." .”
Zhang Ren picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into the cup, regardless of whether it contained overnight tea.
Ji Gang was also in trouble. He stepped forward to take the teapot and said, "This tea has been left overnight. Can you help me change it?"
Zhang Ren didn't answer, but looked straight at Ji Gang.
Zhang Ren's eyes were neither fierce nor murderous, but they made Ji Gang's back hair crawl.
Ji Gang's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed nervously, and continued: "Since you don't mind, I'll pour the little one for you." As Ji Gang said that, he started to add water to Zhang Ren's cup.
Zhang Ren looked away and said softly: "You did tell me about the massacre. If I make a big announcement in Jinling City and say that a man named Ji Gang reported the massacre to Jin Yiwei, you said, your What will be the outcome?”
Hearing this, Ji Gang sweated from his forehead, and the tea in his cup overflowed. "The matter of the massacre is over. I have told you everything you want to know. Why do you still want to harm me?" I?"
Zhang Ren shook his head slightly and said, "You said it, but it wasn't enough. I want to know more."
As a minor leader in the underworld in Jinling City, Ji Gang certainly knew more than just the Tu Clan, but how could he dare to reveal more to Zhang Ren?
Ji Gang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said bravely: "Sir, I really don't know what you want to know. I'm just in charge of this low-level gambling house. I really can't get on the stage. "Character, please forgive me for the sake of telling the truth about the slaughter."
Where can Zhang Ren be willing to obey? He pulled out the Xiuchun Dao and put it directly on Ji Gang's neck.
This action frightened Ji Gang so much that he tried his best to dodge back. How could Zhang Ren get what he wanted? If you retreat, I will advance.
The two retreated and advanced, and Ji Gang finally retreated to the corner. There was no way to avoid it. With a little force on Zhang Ren's hand, the Xiuchun knife cut Ji Gang's neck. Although there was blood, it was not fatal.
Ji Gang felt the cold sword energy coming from his neck, and felt his own blood slowly flowing down his neck. He had never felt death so close, and at this moment, there were already a large number of dead souls.
Ji Gang panted nervously and said, "Sir, please forgive me. I really don't know what you want to know."
But Zhang Ren said gently: "As long as it is about the underworld in Jinling City, you can tell me everything you know, for example, the news about the dark master!"
Ji Gang is in the underworld, but has never met the dark master, but he knows a lot about the dark master. Ji Gang looked helpless and begged Zhang Ren: "Sir, the identity of the dark master is a mystery. , I have never seen it, and I really don’t dare to say anything about the dark master. If I dare to say one more word today, my life will be in danger tomorrow. I beg you, let me go. Yes."
Because of Liuli's death, Zhang Ren's whole body was exuding hostility, but he was not dazzled by hatred. He knew that Ji Gang was innocent and should not be implicated. However, at present, Ji Gang's place is the only place where Zhang Ren can find a breakthrough. .
Zhang Ren put down the Xiuchundao, wiped the blood on it with his sleeve, and returned the Xiuchundao to its sheath.
Ji Gang was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground. He panted heavily and thanked Zhang Ren: "Thank you, sir, for your life!" These words were definitely sincere, if not for the fact that his legs were still weak. With that, Ji Gang definitely got up and kowtowed to Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren didn't say much, but took something out of his pocket. Jiang Yu gave him three Jinyiwei Waist Cards. He took out one and threw it in front of Ji Gang.
Ji Gang was puzzled and asked, "Sir, what is this?"
Zhang Ren said: "I know that your life will be in danger if you tell the news about the dark master, so I give you a choice today, and I also give you an opportunity. As long as you accept it, you will be a member of the Jin Yiwei from now on. It is a choice. Keep silent and continue to be a rat in the gutter, or choose to tell the news you know and join the Jin Yiwei. The two choices are only between you. Of course, I don’t know what the dark master is capable of, but I don’t believe it. He dares to touch Jin Yiwei's people."
Zhang Ren's words are just self-deception. He is also a member of the Jinyiwei, and hasn't he been assassinated several times?
Ji Gang tremblingly picked up the Jin Yiwei waistband in front of him. He really didn't know how to choose. Now he had a place in the underworld of Jinling City, but with that kind of hidden identity, how could he be compared to Jin Yiwei? Moreover, he has been very brave and fierce in these years, and he has indeed offended many people. Maybe one day he will be killed by his enemies, and his body will be thrown next to the smelly ditch. People, sometimes it seems like they have no roots. Some people may care about the duckweed when they are alive, but if they are dead, they may not even be able to make a little splash. How about one or two days? It may also be five or six days. As time goes by, the world will eventually forget that such a person once came to this world, and eventually turn into a speck of dust in the long river of time.
