Luo Linhai was startled and exclaimed: "100,000 gold coins? Do you want so much? I just injured them, and the property that robbed them has already been returned, and Chen Gongzhao was not killed by us, why do you have to pay so much money?"

Ma Yu said with a smile: "Lord, you were originally going to be convicted according to the law, hurting people and robbing property is also a felony, according to the law, you will be punished, even if you can be an exception to the prince, but being impeached by the officials must be inevitable, this is a stain that can't be washed away for the prince's career and reputation, right? Now a hundred thousand gold coins can put everything right, why not do it."

"A mere 100,000 gold coins is just a piece of cake for the prince. ”

Luo Linhai thinks about it, it's better to break the fortune than to lose his reputation, especially in front of Shi Ziling, if he wants to play tricks, he can't play tricks, if he is really caught by Shi Ziling and put in prison, even if he is only locked up for a few days, it will be a big joke.

Luo Linhai gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, 100,000 is 100,000, but you also know that I just lost money in the 'Proud Building' a few days ago, and I wrote a lot of IOUs, such a large sum of money is really ....... for a while."

Ma Yu made a regretful expression on his face and said, "Then there is no way, you can't let me take the IOU to Chen Zhongping, right?"

Luo Linhai was in a hurry, and in desperation, he had no choice but to turn his head to Su Bairen, and said: "Master Su, I am inconvenient for a while, I don't know if you can lend me 100,000 gold coins to save the emergency?" ”

Su Bairen secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, and he didn't expect to get it on his head. But since Luo Linhai opened his mouth, he was not too embarrassed to refuse, but 100,000 gold coins was really a huge amount of money, but fortunately, Luo Linhai, the prince, was not in arrears, and Su Bairen could only borrow it if he thought about it.

Su Bairen pretended to smile and said: "Where does the prince come from, everyone has inconvenient times, I can't trust others but can't trust the prince." Please wait, I will go to the inner mansion to get the money. ”

Su Bairen took the money back and handed it to Luo Linhai, Luo Linhai had already written an IOU and handed it to Su Bairen, and after Su Bairen pretended to push it back, he finally accepted it.

Luo Linhai handed over the pass of 100,000 gold coins to Shi Ziling and said, "Shi Dutong, please transfer this money to Chen Zhongping, I hope you can reveal this matter." ”

Although Shi Ziling discussed with Ma Yu to recover a compensation for Chen Zhongping to settle the matter, he didn't expect Ma Yu to open his mouth and offer a sky-high price of 100,000 gold coins. He took the pass and looked at it, thinking that he had originally instructed Luo Linhai to teach Chen Gongzhao a lesson, but he had made it like this in the end, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

Shi Ziling said: "Please rest assured, Ma Yu and I will negotiate with Chen Zhongping, and your night attack on Chen's Mansion will only be regarded as a misunderstanding to the outside world, and this matter will end here, so don't mention it again in the future." ”

Although Luo Linhai was a little heartbroken, he was quite happy to think about breaking his fortune and preventing disasters, and now he can finally return to Yanjing City easily and freely.

He asked, "Shi Dutong, this master of the 'Dark Dao' snatched the map left by the Huang Ting faction, and I don't know why he still pursued and killed Chen Zhongping?"

Shi Ziling didn't want to go into too much detail about this matter, and said: "I think it's because this matter is related to the mysterious 'Nine Yuan Clearance' illustrated legend, and the 'Dark Way' doesn't want to leak this matter out of the way, so he wants to kill people." ”

"But now that Chen Zhongping has told me everything that happened, and the Dark Sect Master has also known that I was involved in this matter, it is expected that there is no need for the people of the 'Dark Dao' to embarrass Chen Zhongping in the future. ”

"Why, Lord Luo used to have a grudge with the people of the 'Dark Dao', is it also because of the diagram of the Nine Yuan customs clearance?"

Luo Linhai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly denied it: "No, no! I'm not interested in competing for the Nine Yuan Clearance Diagram, I heard that the people competing for the diagram are the top figures of the major sects, I just ...... It's just a little curious. But Shi Dutong, you have to be careful, it is really very dangerous to be involved in this matter, although you are strong, you should not take it lightly. ”

Shi Ziling smiled: "Thank you for your concern." Don't hide it from the prince, in order to track down the assassination of Chen Gongzhao, I have already fought with the sect leader of the 'Dark Dao', this person is really extraordinary, and his strength does not seem to be below the Tongtian Sect Leader Li Yuan, that is, the 'Dark Messenger' beside her, and he is also a first-class master. ”

Su Bairen and Luo Linhai were shocked when they heard this, the "Top 100 List" over the years ranked this mysterious dark sect leader in the fifth place after Yuan Shi Tianzun Li Du, Gongsun Auntie, Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, and Ruyi Sect Master Fang Wuming, ranking always above Master Huiming, Xiahou Yuan, Nangong Xia and others, it seems that it really deserves its reputation.

Shi Ziling fought against such a long-famous top master, although it was so light and light, but the process must be very thrilling.

Although Luo Linhai was full of ambition when he went out of Beijing this time, whether it was in the Jade Buddha Temple in the south or Songhu City in the east, he was repeatedly deflated, and finally understood that the world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and he no longer has the ambition to squeeze into the top ten of the list.

He sighed and said, "I always thought that the roots of the Imperial City were the place where the elites gathered, and although the world outside was big, except for a few Grandmasters, I didn't expect that there would be few opponents of this prince. Now I realize that I was very wrong. ”

"Needless to say, Shi Dutong has such a super cultivation at such a young age, not to mention those grandmasters and family heads who have been famous for many years. ”

Su Bairen was worried about something else, he asked Shi Ziling: "Ziling, since the people of this 'Dark Dao' are so powerful, even you can't easily win, then wouldn't it be difficult to arrest them......? How shall we give an account to the people?"

Shi Ziling said: "Lord Su, I think we can post a list in the city to announce that the murderer of Chen Gongzhao has been identified as the master of the 'Dark Dao', and I, Shi Ziling, are fully responsible for arresting them." ”

"Although this will not help much to catch the murderer, since the common people know that the murderer is the top master of the famous 'Dark Path', they should understand that this matter has nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people, and I believe that they will feel more at ease because of this. As for whether the murderer can be apprehended, it's just my business. ”

When Su Bairen heard this, this was a good way, since Shi Ziling was willing to publicly post the list and take all the responsibilities, it was naturally better.

Su Bairen said: "Of course, this is good, but if you can't catch the murderer for a long time, will it damage Ziling's reputation?"

Shi Ziling said indifferently: "I did this just to reassure the people, so that there would be a clear explanation for the assassination of Chen Gongzhao this time, and I also used this to publicly call out the 'Dark Sect Master'. As for whether a little bit of personal fame is damaged, I don't really care about it. ”

Luo Linhai said: "Shi Dutong, I admire your responsibility, but if you think that by doing so, you can provoke the people of the 'Dark Dao' to come to you to duel, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”

"I've dealt with their people, who are secretive, especially their leader, who never shows his true face, just like a woman. I don't think they're going to openly deal with you, so it's better for you to be careful of their hidden arrows hurting people. ”

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "As far as I know, the Dark Sect Master is a woman at all, why doesn't Lord Luo still know the Dao?"
