Zhang Ren stroked Liuli's tombstone, his face full of tenderness.
He told Yuan Bao: "This tombstone says 'Tomb of Beloved Wife Liuli'."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Bao's mood suddenly became excited. He frowned and asked Zhang Ren, "You...are you married?"
Zhang Ren nodded and said: "Marry."
After receiving Zhang Ren's answer, Yuan Bao wilted. He lowered his head and asked again: "Then, is she beautiful...beautiful?"
Zhang Ren stepped forward again and rubbed Yuan Bao's head, "You can't just ask if other people's wives are beautiful. When you grow up, marry one yourself."
Yuan Bao pouted and remained silent.
Zhang Ren looked at the sky. The sun was already setting in the west. He knew that he could no longer stay with Liuli here. He still had important things to do, such as investigating the dark master.
Zhang Ren walked towards the outside of the forest, and Yuan Bao immediately asked: "Are you leaving... leaving?"
Zhang Ren nodded, "Yes, there are still a lot of things to do. It's already this time. If it's later, I won't be able to enter the city. By the way, thank you for today. I'll treat you to something delicious another day."
"Thank... thank me?" Yuan Bao was puzzled.
Zhang Ren didn't explain too much, but walked towards the city on his own.
Yuan Bao came out of the forest and met a group of beggars. At this time, it was time for them to return to Moss Manor.
One of the old beggars came forward and asked, "Went to see him? How was it?"
Yuan Bao looked very depressed. He shook his head and said, "He married... a wife and was buried in the forest... in the forest."
The old beggar shook his head angrily, "Why are you so depressed? Are you stupid? People are buried in the woods, so they are dead."
These words seemed to wake up Yuan Bao, and his mood immediately improved, with a smile on his face.
…
When Zhang Ren returned to Jinyiwei, it was completely dark.
Tonight, the two brothers Mo Dingding and Mo Congrong were on duty at the Jinyiwei. Mo Congrong looked at Zhang Ren, cupped his hands and said, "See Xiaoqi, someone came to you this afternoon with the Jinyiwei waist badge."
Zhang Ren nodded and asked, "Where are the people?"
Mo Congrong pointed in a direction and said: "I've been waiting under the corridor over there. No matter what, I can't blast them away."
Zhang Ren said: "Thank you brother for telling me, I will go there now." Actually, Zhang Ren wanted to name him, but unfortunately the two calm and calm brothers looked exactly the same, and Zhang Ren couldn't tell who was who.
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he was about to go over. Unexpectedly, Mo Mo, who had been silent for the whole time, spoke calmly: "Zhang Ren, you sneaked up on me during the Jinyiwei Grand Competition. After the competition, I joined the Jinyiwei, but you became a junior flag officer. The Governor and all the lords also favor you very much, but I don’t accept it, I really don’t accept it. I wonder when you can have a fair fight with me?”
Mo Congrong on the side hurriedly stopped the exit: "Brother, the governor of the competition that day said there were no rules..."
Mo calmly gave his brother a stern look and said, "I don't care whether there are rules or not! Since it's a big competition, we must fight it in an upright manner!"
Zhang Ren, however, narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Mo: "I haven't been in the mood to compete with you recently. Once I'm done with this period, you are welcome to challenge me at any time."
Without waiting for Mo calmly to reply, Zhang Ren finished speaking and left.
Mo calmly spat and said: "Bah! Why are you pretending! When I get the chance, I will step on Zhang Ren in the mud!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Mo Congrong was left standing there and lamenting. Although his eldest brother was attacked by Zhang Ren and failed, Mo Congrong actually competed with Zhang Ren in several moves. Of course he knew in his heart how powerful Zhang Ren was, and he also knew , even if Zhang Ren didn't make a sneak attack that day, he and his two brothers would still be no match for Zhang Ren.
This is the fact, but as a younger brother, Mo Congrong knows his brother very well, and he knows that he cannot say these words.
Zhang Ren's sneak attack that day has become a demon in Mo Danding's heart, and he can't get rid of it. If Zhang Ren is not defeated, Mo Danding will never be able to get out.
…
In the corridor, Ji Gang didn't even drink. He had been waiting for Zhang Ren all afternoon. He didn't know how long he would have to wait, but as long as Zhang Ren didn't show up, he decided to keep waiting here.
"Since you are here, it means you have made your choice." A voice came from behind Ji Gang.
Ji Gang turned around and saw that the person who came was indeed Zhang Ren, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He nodded, stepped forward and said, "Yes, I, Ji Gang, have been in the market since I was a child. It is rare that I can get into the eyes of adults. I have the opportunity to enter the Jinyi Guard and work as an official. From now on, I, Ji Gang, will follow the adults."
Ji Gang is like a grass on the wall. Everything and choices he makes are based on interests. Zhang Ren really doesn't like such a person, but he has no other choice. If he wants to know more about the dark master According to the news, he can only start with the underworld.
Zhang Ren got straight to the point and asked, "You made the most correct choice. Okay, now tell me, how much do you know about the Dark Lord?"
Ji Gang looked attentive and said: "Although I don't know who the dark master is, I do know that the dark master is the master of the dark forces in Jinling City. I heard that he controls the nine sects, and the Tu sect you destroyed is one of them." First, I know that there is also the Hanako Gate, which must have been taken away by you, sir."
Both Huazimen and Tumen can fight dog formations. This alone has made Zhang Ren suspect that the two sects must be related, and now it has been verified.
It's just that Zhang Ren didn't expect that there were actually nine sects like Huazimen and Tumen. Thinking about it, these nine sects also spread shady business all over Jinling City. It's no wonder that the dark master is called the master of the dark forces. He can Bribing so many officials.
Zhang Ren nodded and said, "Go on and explain all the nine gates in detail."
After receiving the instruction, Ji Gang continued: "Beizi doesn't know all the nine sects. He only knows five, namely: Huazimen, Tumen, Changmen, Feitanmen and Wumen. Among them, Huazimen specializes in human trafficking. To do this, they would contact nobles and sell the abducted people outside the customs. If some of the abducted people were in poor health, they would be sold directly to the butchers. The butchers would cut off their legs and feet and take advantage of people. They would go begging out of sympathy. Beautiful women kidnapped from Hanakomen would be sold to Nagato. I heard that some wealthy merchants and officials liked girls from good families the most. Nagato was engaged in this kind of flesh and blood business, so Nagato The sect is also called a prostitution sect. The Feitan sect specializes in some surreptitious activities. If someone loses their money bag on the street, it is most likely Feitan sect who did it. As for the Wu sect, they are thugs raised by the secret master. They have no specific business. , in order to maintain the dark master’s position in the underworld.”
