Chapter 137: Liars and Stepping Stones

Fu Zhenmo's true identity is Cao Su, the head of the Cao family, and the identity of the leader of the Salt Gang is also extremely coincidental to Yan Sui, the head of the Yan family. Of course, this is all information discovered by Su Yiyun within two months of joining the Cao Gang.

As for the distribution of forces and personnel of the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang, all of them were finally found out in the process of Su Yiyun's perseverance. It had been more than half a year since he entered the Water City, and just this night, a monstrous fire broke out at the same time in the mansions of the two wealthy merchants in the Water City, thick smoke spread over the entire mansion, and the streets were surrounded by people who had nothing to do with the fire in their eyes.

......

The flames in the master bedroom of Cao's mansion were everywhere, tongues of fire climbed up the ornate curtains, and the strong wind blew down all the expensive porcelain on the wooden shelves, and there was charred smoke and blackened wood everywhere. Su Yiyun stood proudly in front of Cao Su with a sword in one hand, looking at him condescendingly and coldly.

On the burning big bed, the delicate concubine who had been violently entangled with Cao Su a quarter of an hour ago had become a charred corpse, Cao Su covered her heart with blood with both hands, and her limbs fell weakly on the floor beside the bed. His face was hideous and he looked extremely painful, but his eyes were staring at Su Yiyun and he refused to let go at all.

Su Yiyun ...... I am dedicated to cultivating you and believing you as my right-hand man, but I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful traitor!" He let out a mouthful of blood foam and splashed it on Su Yiyun's shoes.

But Su Yiyun said expressionlessly: "Believe me, you have not stopped investigating me for half a year, and if I have even the slightest suspicion, you will not hesitate to kill me." Don't laugh, you're a very suspicious person, and the preferential treatment you give me is just your acting skills. ”

I saw Cao Su shaking his head painfully: "Bastard, traitor." Don't make excuses for your words and deeds, if you kill my whole family today and repay virtue with resentment, I won't let you go even if I go to the underworld. ”

"Okay," Su Yiyun tugged at the corner of his mouth and showed a cold smile, "I'll wait for you, but there is one thing you don't know, that is, my Su Yiyun's true identity, is a spy of the government." ”

Cao Su's eyes widened when he heard this, he seemed to be shocked and wanted to get up, but life still kept flowing from his body, making him fall back with all his strength.

"I, Cao Su, am smart, but I didn't expect to mistakenly believe the spies of the government, it turns out that you are not greedy for my status...... But from the very beginning, they wanted to take my head. ”

"Stop acting, Cao Su, no, Fu Zhenmo!" Su Yiyun gritted his teeth, and bitter hatred burst out of his eyes. I saw him lift the long sword dripping blood, and aimed it at Cao Su's neck with a sword!

"Poof-" The blood arrow flew out, and Cao Su's mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to say something, but he could never speak.

After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes. His eyes that contained deep meaning before his death only swept through Su Yiyun's uncaring eyes.

Not anger, not hatred, not hysteria that has ended here, but heartache, bewilderment, and ...... Helpless......

However, Su Yiyun didn't think much about it, he glanced at the beams of the fire room that was about to collapse, and rushed out of the house with a quick retreat.

In the next second, the house collapsed. The head of the Cao family, the leader of the Cao family, who crisscrossed the gray area of Water City, completely disappeared in this way.

Su Yiyun put his long sword in the sheath and was about to leave, but he saw a figure stopping in front of the gate of the courtyard wall full of fire, looking at him with a panicked face.

"Xiaoyun, what's going on?" he said tremblingly.

Su Yiyun was also a little surprised the moment he saw him: At this time, Zhu Yusheng should obviously be carrying out his plan and running on the return journey after poisoning the head of the Yan family.

However, he quickly became anxious, and said, "Brother Zhu, you came just in time! An assassin broke in and set fire to kill people, and the Cao Mansion was already in a mess." ”

"What!" Zhu Yusheng glanced at the collapsed main house and shouted loudly: "What about the head of the family, how is the head of the house?"

Su Yiyun looked very hesitant, but finally said sadly:

"I'm sorry Brother Zhu, I'm late. Although I slashed the murderer, I let him escape. As for the head of the family, he has ......"

He raised his head, and two tears splashed out: "Brother Zhu, I'm sorry!"

As if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, Zhu Yusheng bent his knees and staggered to his knees. His eyes crossed Su Yiyun's body and looked at the ruins of the main house in a daze.

"Your Excellency!"

Su Yiyun shook his head in his heart when he saw him like that. This is too loyal, is it possible that he has a high status but never thinks of replacing him?

Suddenly, Zhu Yusheng looked at Su Yiyun again as if he had thought of something: "What about the second miss?

"She escaped with the maids, as I saw with my own eyes. Su Yiyun replied in seconds.

After hearing this, Zhu Yusheng showed a relieved expression of "That's good". Su Yiyun walked up to him at this time and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Zhu, I'm also very sad, but we can only mourn. Trust in our strength, we will definitely catch the murderer. It's just that if the gang leader is killed and the head of the Yan family is safe and sound, then these people from our Cao Gang will ......."

Zhu Yusheng wiped his tears and said in a nasal voice: "Xiaoyun's plan is well-arranged, I have already killed Yan Sui with the poison you gave." I cut off his head with my own hands and killed all the witnesses, so don't worry. ”

When Su Yiyun heard this, his expression finally relaxed.

The mission ended as planned, but there was one more thing.

He grabbed Zhu Yusheng's hand and pressed his face to it. In the light of the dancing fire, the two looked at each other very closely.

"Brother Zhu, I have one more question for you before I rush out of the fire. ”

"What's the problem?" Zhu Yusheng said a little puzzled. Looking at Su Yiyun's eyes so closely, he always felt some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

"The head of the family is no longer there, the leader of the Salt Gang is also dead, and now the two gangs in Shuicheng are leaderless. Moreover, tonight's incident of two wealthy merchants catching fire at the same time and killing the owner of the family will definitely cause a sensation in Shuicheng, and the government will 100% carry out a strong search. If the Cao family's connection with the Cao Gang is discovered, what will you do?"

"I ...... I think I'll always be on the back of the way and try until the moment I stab the murderer. ”

"Is that ......" Su Yiyun couldn't help but feel a little sad, "In other words, even if the Cao Gang is destroyed, will you still fight to the death as a member of the Cao Gang until the last moment?"

Zhu Yusheng said resolutely: "That's right, my life was saved by the Cao family, and my status was given by the Cao Gang." Even if I fall from the sky and have a chance to retreat, I will swear to live and die with the Cao Gang!"

"Okay. Su Yiyun lowered his head and sighed.

Zhu Yusheng was surprised, and he said, "Xiaoyun, why are you asking me this kind of question, do you want to quit the Cao Gang?"

Su Yiyun raised his head slightly and glanced at him.

"You're right, my desire is indeed to reach the pinnacle through the evil path, but in Shuicheng, whether it is the Salt Gang or the Cao Gang, they are the type to plummet when they lose their gang leader. It's over, and I'll probably have to go down the path of an official academy. ”

Zhu Yusheng's eyes flickered a little, and he said: "Is this what you really think? That's right, after all, you are only twelve years old, and you still have a good life, the help in the past six months is enough, but there is one thing you said is not right, I will support the Cao Gang alone in the future." From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

With that, the bodies of the two were staggered. When Su Yiyun stepped over the courtyard wall, he sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head and take a final look at Zhu Yusheng.

But he only saw his back, Zhu Yusheng was surrounded by the raging fire, staring lonely at the ruins of the main house.

"I seem to have gone too far. Su Yiyun muttered.

He knew very well that there was a large proportion of officers and soldiers in the crowd surrounding Cao Mansion and fighting Cao Mansion, and if Zhu Yusheng did not leave with him, he would be arrested. The government has its own list, which includes Zhu Yusheng's name. He can't escape, and he can't fulfill his desire to continue the Cao Gang.

"Farewell, Zhu Yusheng. ”

......

The Cao family and the rest of the Yan family were all arrested. Five days later, the government commended Su Yiyun for the results of his lurking operation, and the lord of a city personally awarded Su Yiyun a medal, directly giving him the status of a full-fledged official warrior and a bonus, and giving him the privilege of being comparable to the captain of the torture team.

A month later, according to the information provided by Su Yiyun, the Shuicheng government captured all the fine water branches of the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, and there was no one outside the prison who had a heart for the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang.

Two months later, the interrogation of all gang offenders ended. The offender with minor circumstances was sentenced to more than three years in prison, while a person like Zhu Yusheng, who was involved in multiple homicides, was directly sentenced to death and will be beheaded in the afternoon half a year later.

When the dust settled, there were no longer two gangs in Shuicheng, the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, who were doing gray transactions, and the security work of the government was suddenly much easier. There are fewer black-hearted bosses, and the common people have a more stable life. When the government posted Su Yiyun's glorious deeds in the official newspaper, his prestige reached its peak in the hearts of the people in the city.

Coupled with his noble act of helping poor households with silver afterwards and the name of an eleven-year-old hero, Su Yiyun has completely become synonymous with positivity and heroism. With such a radiant reputation, Su Yiyun was soon recommended by the City Lord of Water City who loved talent to the martial arts academy in Xingluo City, thousands of miles away.

Su Yiyun spent the rest of his life in a life of chivalry and diligent cultivation, and also spent his twelfth birthday in the congratulations of the people of Shuicheng. On this day, he put on his packed clothes, greeted the city lord who was getting closer, and went out of the city in a low-key manner.

Sitting in the carriage of the carriage with his eyes closed and recuperating, the occasional bump made Su Yiyun, who had just finished meditating, realize that he had embarked on a journey to Xingluo City. Xingluo City is not as remote as a water city, it can be called a city that is the mainstay of the Great Martial Dynasty, and the water quality of its martial arts academy is also considered to be high-class.

And during this period of leisure, he became more and more diligent and hardworking, and his cultivation had unconsciously reached the bottleneck of the third congenital level. With such cultivation at the age of twelve, even if he is placed in the academy of Star Luo City, he is still an absolute genius.

The future is a smooth road, and the prestige exceeds expectations. In this way, it is not impossible to achieve the standard of holiness.

"Everything is going smoothly as I expected, wait, Spirit of Virtue, the fifth level won't trap me for long. Su Yiyun looked ahead, his eyes as if he had crossed the brocade curtain, until the end of the world.
