Chapter 24 Agree to the deal

Shen Jinyu looked at the direction in which the man in black disappeared, and slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side. He was shaken. Duan Cang kept the thing he wanted with him. He must either capture him alive or kill him, otherwise there would be nothing else. Law.

In the past few years, he has been trying to find clues, but he has no clue. Now that he has a clue, he can only watch and cannot do anything. He is alone now. If he easily disturbs Duan Cang, he may not get revenge. If he died first, even if he had mastered the sword skills to restrain the Bu Yuan Sword, he would still be outnumbered and he would not be able to defeat the entire Changlin people.

Shen Jinyu did not tell Qi Yue about this incident tonight.

Shen Jinyu wanted to find out the cause of his parents' death, but he didn't want to become a puppet in the court. He was wavering in between. Seeing that Qi Yue was still seriously helping him find a solution, Shen Jinyu felt a little guilty.

If he agreed to that person's deal, would Qi Yue blame him if he found out? Would Qi Yue think he was useless? By cooperating with the imperial court, he would destroy the entire Changlin Villa.

Forget it, let's slowly explain it to Qi Yue after he resolves the matter. If Qi Yue gets angry then, he will slowly coax her. Don't tell her now, lest she be involved by the court people.

On the afternoon of the second day of New Year's Day, Duan Cang came back with the three sect masters and the top disciples.

Yue Ling brought some food from the mountain to Qi Yue and Shen Jinyu. Initially, Shen Jinyu didn't intend to take it, but seeing that Qi Yue liked it very much, he took it and gave it to Yue Ling as soon as he left. Qi Yue ate it.

There is still one day left before the time mentioned by the man in black, but Shen Jinyu has been completely shaken and wants to agree to this deal.

Qi Yue didn't know this and was still having a headache because he had no clue.

She was afraid that Shen Jinyu would be anxious because he had no clue, so she comforted him while trying to think of a solution. But for now, she really didn't have any thoughts. Except for Shen Jinyu's lotus knife, there was nothing left about his parents. .It’s too hard to find clues these days.

Desperate, Qi Yue found A Ruo and asked, "A Ruo, how much has your system recorded about Duan Cang?"

A Ruo: "Not much. The system only records that Duan Cang succeeded to the throne after the death of the villain's parents. Among the four sect masters of Changlin Villa now, Zhao Zijing, the master of the Yunshan Sword Sect, is lustful, and Yuan Fei, the master of the Xiufeng Sword Sect, is because of She is the only woman among the four sect masters and is quite looked down upon, so she does not interact with the other three sect masters very much. Zhou Yifeng, the master of the Tianchao Sword Sect, was promoted after Duan Cang succeeded to the throne. He and Duan Cang The best relationship.”

"Zhou Yifeng?" Qi Yue is very unfamiliar with this name. She has never been in contact with this person, but why did Duan Cang suddenly promote him after he succeeded to the throne? Could it be related to the death of Shen Jinyu's parents?

"What else?" Qi Yue asked next.

A Ruo: "No, host, the system only has so many records for these sect masters,"

Qi Yue: "...What kind of half-assed system do you have? You have nothing to do and you still imitate other people's time-traveling. Others have a universal system or a golden finger or something like that. Are you asking me to come to the wilderness to survive? Start with one. People, everything depends on fate."

Aruo: "Hey, host, there's nothing we can do about it. It's a small system. Please understand it more."

Qi Yue: "I understand you***"

Although what A Ruo said was of no use, it finally gave me one more direction to look for.

Qi Yue told Shen Jinyu about this discovery. Shen Jinyu had actually known for a long time that Zhou Yifeng might be related to this matter.

"Zhou Yifeng is now like Duan Cang's most obedient attendant in Changlin. He does whatever Duan Cang says. He is even more obedient than Duan Mufeng," Shen Jinyu said with a hint of contempt on her face, "He There are no valuable clues on him, I observed him a few years ago."

"Ah, I thought the Zhouyi Summit was a breakthrough. I was so happy for nothing," Qi Yue was a little disappointed. Now that he was better, he lost his clue again.

Shen Jinyu saw Qi Yue worrying about him, feeling distressed and guilty. He almost wanted to tell her about the man in black, but reason told him not to. If Qi Yue knew about it, he would not dare Make sure no one from the court will involve her.

The man in black said it would be three days later tonight, and Shen Jinyu appeared under the old locust tree on time at midnight.

He decided to agree to the deal.

The man in black seemed to have expected that Shen Jinyu would definitely agree to this deal, so he was not surprised. But Shen Jinyu added a condition.

"You sent someone to monitor me. If you know about me, you will definitely know about my only friend, Qi Yue. I didn't tell her about the transaction between you and me. Regardless of whether the matter between us is successful or not, what will be the outcome? , you can't involve her. If you agree, I will make a deal with you."

"No problem," the man in black agreed readily, "You are the one who trades with me, and it has nothing to do with me. We are on the same boat now. We are working for the emperor. You can't act rashly after you know the truth. Wait for my arrangements,"

"Yeah." Shen Jinyu gritted her teeth and agreed.

The man in black nodded with satisfaction, took off a baggage on his arm and handed it to Shen Jinyu, "Everything you want is here. The letter inside is what we intercepted and transcribed. You don't have to worry. True or false. But to expose the murderer, you need to get the things Duan Cang has hidden with him. As far as I know, those are the originals of the things I gave you, with his private seal attached. Remember you promised me Don't act rashly, I will tell you the specific actions."

After saying that, the man in black patted Shen Jinyu on the shoulder and left.

Shen Jinyu's hand holding the baggage couldn't stop shaking. The truth was in his hands. He only needed to open the baggage to find out, but he suddenly lost his courage.

Shen Jinyu returned to the dormitory in despair, opened the baggage, and found several letters and a wooden box inside.

There are some black pills in the wooden box. The name and prescription of the medicine are posted inside the box.

Disappearance of injuries.

This is a chronic poison from the southern coastal areas. It is colorless and odorless, and its toxicity is very slow. If you take a certain dose every day, the poison will relapse within three years at the earliest, and there is no cure.

Shen Jinyu's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely guessed something.

He suppressed the ups and downs of his emotions and opened the letters with trembling hands. Some were written by Duan Cang to Zhang Yin, some were written by Zhang Yin to Duan Cang, and some were written by Zhou Yifeng.

Shen Jinyu read each letter one by one, and the truth of that year appeared vividly on the paper. Shen Jinyu could not control his heart trembling, his hands were shaking so much that he could not hold the paper, his breathing was so rapid that he could not breathe at one point, and he cried unconsciously. The letter fell down, leaving big watermarks on the letter paper.

His parents were killed in these words on paper.
