To be honest, Zhang Ren didn't expect Ruan Yuan to be so decisive and die. After all, when the Tu Sect was wiped out, Feng Ji, the deputy head of the Tu Sect, showed a strong desire to live. It seemed that as long as he could spare his life , I can agree to any conditions.
It's a pity that the assassination of Songzhu Pavilion hadn't happened at that time, and Zhang Ren didn't know that there was another mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, as long as Feng Ji was punished a little, he would definitely get a lot of useful information.
Feng Ji is dead, and now Ruan Yuan is also dead, but the hunting in the dark is not over yet.
The secret door is secretive and has been hidden in the depths. Otherwise, Ji Gang would not have known about it. If the Ruan Mansion hadn't purchased a large amount of trauma medicine and Ji Gang happened to see it, no one would have thought that the Ruan Mansion was the secret door. So when Zhang Ren thought about it, the secret door had never come into contact with anyone from the government, let alone bribed anyone from the government, so it would be easier to handle.
There is a curfew at night in Jinling. Yanlingfang is a gathering place for the rich. In order to prevent curfew from causing trouble, the management is stricter. Even if those members of the secret door gang who were seriously injured tried to escape, they only dared to hide in Yanlingfang. There is absolutely no possibility of escaping from Yanlingfang.
Zhang Ren didn't care about the dead Ruan Yuan. After all, the two sides were on opposite sides. Zhang Ren was not the Virgin and had no obligation to collect Ruan Yuan's body.
His sword was not returned to its sheath and he left the Ruan Mansion directly.
Unexpectedly, just after he came out, he saw about a dozen people lying on the ground outside the gate of Ruan Mansion. There was another person standing, but he was standing in the darkness.
It was really hard to see clearly at night, so Zhang Ren took a few steps forward, and then he could clearly see the person standing by the light of other people's lanterns.
This man is easy to identify. He is over 1.9 meters tall, has tendons all over his body, and has a big bald head. He is none other than the performer Wu Peng.
It's just that he is now clasping his hands, closing his eyes, and mumbling something.
When Zhang Ren got closer, Wu Peng opened his eyes and said, "Amitabha, donor, we meet again."
Zhang Ren frowned and asked, "Monk, why are you here?"
Wu Peng answered: "The poor monk naturally followed the donor."
"Did you follow me?" Zhang Ren was very puzzled and asked: "Then what's going on with the people here?"
Wu Peng replied: "The poor monk saw the benefactor enter the Ruan Mansion, and soon these people ran out. The benefactor destroyed the Tumen, which can be regarded as saving all sentient beings and saving a lot of people. Although the poor monk did not know what the benefactor was doing here, but Thinking about the character of the donor, he must be doing good deeds, and since this Ruan Mansion is similar to that of the Tu Clan, the poor monk naturally stopped him."
Zhang Ren glared at Wu Peng, then looked at the members of the Tu Sect, and casually felt the pulses of the two people, confirming that they were dead, and then asked Wu Peng: "To stop me? You, a monk who has returned to secular life, are you going to stop me?" Why kill?"
I saw Wu Peng clasping his hands together again and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk just blocked it and did not kill anyone. It's just that these people were injured. Seeing that they were no match for the poor monk and unable to escape, they all bit their tongues and committed suicide. The poor monk stopped them. To fall short is also a sin.”
As the deputy sect leader of the secret door, Ruan Ji will die whenever he wants, and perfectly explains what a dead man is. Therefore, it is normal for the gang members of the secret door to bite their tongues and commit suicide when they see that there is no hope of escape.
However, the Dark Lord's power spread throughout Jinling City, and Zhang Ren couldn't believe Wu Peng's words. It was very likely that Wu Peng came here to kill people and silence them, or that Wu Peng was originally a senior member of the Dark Lord and could directly order the Secret Door Gang to commit suicide.
The knife in Zhang Ren's hand was still not sheathed.
Wu Peng was not stupid either. He looked at the bright Xiuchun knife that was folded back and asked, "Don't you believe me?"
Zhang Ren did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Your martial arts are not weak, and you can make a living by practicing martial arts. No matter what you do, it is not better than performing arts? Yesterday you killed two people who escaped in Tumen, and today you are So, don’t you think your appearance is too coincidental? How can you expect me to believe you? Someone followed me when I came out of the palace in the morning, and that person was also you, right? "
Wu Peng nodded and said: "Yes, the poor monk followed the benefactor when he came out of the palace in the morning. He also followed Zhang Mansion, Chengxi Shulin, Jinyiwei and Yanlingfang."
Zhang Ren snorted coldly, "You really can follow me, tell me what are you planning?"
Wu Peng replied: "The benefactor gave the poor monk one tael of silver, and the poor monk was grateful to the benefactor."
Zhang Ren naturally didn't believe this answer. He said: "Don't talk nonsense! One tael of silver? Is human life so worthless? Is it enough for you to kill so many people? If you want to make up at least one reason that can convince me!"
Wu Peng said: "Of course the poor monk has other plans, but I can't tell the donor the reason yet. Please believe that the poor monk has no evil intentions. Otherwise, when the donor came out, the poor monk would have already taken action, so how could he tell the donor so much?"
Wu Peng's words are reasonable, and if the two of them really start a fight, with Zhang Ren's current martial arts, they may not be able to break open Wu Peng's iron cloth shirt, unless they practice the Nine Yang Manual and the Great Shift of the Universe. Only when you reach a higher level can you reach a higher level, but how can martial arts cultivation be something that happens overnight?
Of course, based on this alone, Zhang Ren still cannot choose to believe it. After all, he and Wu Peng are not related, and Wu Peng has no obligation to take risks to help him. Looking at Wu Peng's behavior alone, there are too many unreasonable things.
However, Zhang Ren is not the kind of person who loves killing. He doesn't want to let the bad guys go, but without sufficient evidence, he doesn't want to wrongly accuse any good guy.
Zhang Ren sheathed the sword and said to Wu Peng: "Go away, don't let me find evidence that you did bad things, otherwise I won't let you go!"
Wu Peng clasped his hands together, bowed to Zhang Ren, turned around and left. The curfew could stop the seriously injured secret door gang, but it could not stop a master like Wu Peng.
Seeing Wu Peng and others jumping out of Yanlingfang, Zhang Ren also left Yanlingfang. He didn't know how to deal with the corpses on the ground. He just wanted to make the matter bigger. Even if he was impeached for it, it didn't matter. Only in this way, the secret master's Only his subordinates can surface one by one. The secret master's illegal businesses are spread all over Jinling, and his network of connections is extremely huge. He will definitely not give in just because some of his subordinates have died.
Zhang Ren decided to stop his actions for tonight. After all, he was not invincible and needed to rest. Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of wind would blow in the court hall tomorrow after so many people died at the secret door.
But Zhang Ren didn't expect that an hour later, several dark figures appeared in Yanlingfang, and more than a dozen corpses on the ground were cleaned up by them. Ruan Yuan's corpse in Ruan Mansion was also restrained. The door was closed, and it was no different from usual. No one could have imagined that so many people would have died here last night.
