Zhang Yu nodded, "Okay, let's talk about some practical things and tell me the location of these nine gates." ”

Ji Gang seemed a little nervous, he wiped his forehead, and said, "There is a reluctant request for a humble position. ”

Zhang Yan didn't like this kind of bargaining, if he opened his mouth this time, he didn't know if Ji Gang would bargain next time. He frowned and said, "There are a lot of underworld people like you in Jinling City, right?" ”

Ji Gang nodded.

Zhang Lu continued: "So you should know how to advance and retreat, there are many people I can choose, but the only one you can choose is me." ”

The tone of these words was not heavy, but it inevitably sounded nervous, and the sweat on Ji Gang's forehead became more and more, even if he kept wiping it with his sleeve, it seemed that he couldn't finish wiping it.

It's strange to say, although Ji Gang is not very old, he can be regarded as having been in the underworld for many years, he has seen all kinds of people, but it is the first time he has seen Zhang Lu like this.

It seems to be a talent suppression, Ji Gang always feels that he is suppressed in front of Zhang Lu, and all his thoughts can be seen through, as if he is being pinched to death.

Ji Gang really doubted whether the young man in front of him was really as young as he seemed on the surface, and what kind of soul was hidden in this shell that was less than twenty years old.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Zhang Yuan, only to find that Zhang Zhen was also looking at himself.

Ji Gang hurriedly lowered his head, saying that he didn't dare to raise it again, and at the same time, his knees were weak for no reason, and he knelt directly on the ground.

Although he was terrified in his heart, Ji Gang gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, although the life of the humble post is like a mustard, but I don't want to die in vain, the humble duty can tell the adult everything he knows, and I only ask the adult to save the life of the humble position." ”

This is the most basic requirement, Zhang Lu will not disagree, he said: "This is not a difficult matter, since I gave you the waist card of Jinyiwei, then you can enter and exit the Jinyiwei Yamen at will, you can go to the commander Jiang Damen, he should be able to arrange a place for you to live, as long as you are in the Jinyiwei Yamen, no one dares to do anything to you." ”

Ji Gang immediately bowed to Zhang Gang and said, "Thank you, my lord!" ”

Then he got up and said to Zhang Yan: "Many of the gangsters of the Feitanmen will patronize the lowly casinos after stealing money, so the stronghold of the Feitanmen is still known, just in Daisy Lane, the Feitanmen does not have a signboard, but it is easy to find." It's just that I heard that their deputy sect master, Gao Qian, is extremely powerful, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it. Wumen has no stronghold, but they can often be seen in the outer city, the deputy master of Wumen is named Jin Changchuan, this person lives in Chunhua Lane, but this person is strong in martial arts, and he has never had an opponent in the underworld of Jinling City. As for Nagato, it has always been more mysterious, I heard that it only receives regular customers, and they are all either rich or expensive, so I don't know the specific location of Nagato, and I only heard that the deputy owner of Nagato is named Lu Jiuniang. ”

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Very good, what you said is very useful." Go down first, get some rest, and I'll look for you when I need you." ”

Zhang Lu believed that as long as the Feitan Gate and the Martial Gate were destroyed, the Dark Lord's side would definitely not be able to sit still, and there would inevitably be action.

Zhang Lu got up to leave, but Ji Gang interrupted: "My lord." ”

Zhang Zhen looked back slightly and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Ji Gang thought about it, and still said: "My lord, I drank all night last night, and on the way back to the gambling house, I saw that the Ruan family in Yanlingfang had bought a large amount of medicine for external injuries. The Ruan family doesn't know much about the lowly position, I only heard that the master of their family is a wealthy businessman, but none of the people in their family have ever seen it, and the Ruan Mansion is often closed, and no one visits at all on weekdays, it really doesn't look like a big family, and their family also bought so many drugs at one time, and the lowly person suspects that the Ruan family may have something to do with the assassination of the Songzhu Pavilion last night. ”

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Ji Gang arched his hand and retreated.

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and decided to go to the Ruan family in Yanlingfang first, if the Ruan family was really related to yesterday's assassination, then the elimination of the Ruan family could be regarded as avenging Linglong and many people who died in vain.

And at this moment, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is also a good time to do it.

He took out the embroidered spring knife, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, and disappeared into the darkness.

Yanlingfang is very easy to find, there are many wealthy merchants living here, at night, all the mansions of Yanlingfang will light the lanterns in front of the house, every household, although it is not as good as the street lamps of later generations, but at this time, Yanlingfang is already the brightest street on the left.

Of course, there are also special existences in Yanlingfang, such as the Ruan family, even if the Ruan family occupies the best part of Yanlingfang and is the largest house here, but their family never lights up at the door, and the family basically does not interact with the surrounding neighbors, which is really strange.

At this moment, Zhang Lu appeared in Yanling Fang, and the lanterns here made it impossible for him to hide in the darkness anymore. He jumped and came to the courtyard wall of the Ruan family.

Even if it is late at night, there will always be a few maid rooms with candlelight, after all, large families need maids on night duty.

But the Ruan family was an exception, the house was pitch black, and there was not a single candlelight in sight.

The darkness in front of him made Zhang Yan frown, he only felt that the darkness of the Ruan family was like a bottomless abyss.

This feeling is very bad, and Zhang Lu did not rush to act, but chose to sit on the wall and think.

He found that he seemed to have overlooked a very important question, that is, whether Ji Gang was credible or not.

What if Ji Gang colluded with the Dark Lord? There is no doubt that Ji Gang is a person who is very good at weighing the pros and cons, and he has the ambition not to yield to others, which can still be seen by Zhang Lu.

What he can give Ji Gang is a brocade guard official body, which can make him transform from an underworld man into an official body. So what can the dark lord give Ji Gang? Judging from the current situation, the dark lord must have a lot of money, he can give Ji Gang a lot of money, and at the same time, the dark lord has colluded with so many courtiers, as long as he operates a little, he can also let Ji Gang have an official body, and I am afraid that the grade can be much higher than that of Jinyiwei.

If it is really as Zhang Lu thinks, then the Ruan Mansion in front of him is likely to be a trap laid by the secret master and Ji Gang, in order to leave Zhang Lu's life.

In that case......

Zhang Lu turned over and entered Ruan's mansion, even if there was an ambush ahead, what could it do? As long as you kill all the people who ambush you, you can always see the Dark Lord, right?

Zhang Yu thought that he had come to the door of the main house, and when he pushed it gently, the door "creaked" open, but there was no imaginary ambush inside, but it was filled with the smell of herbs.

At the same time, an angry shout also sounded in the house: "The big night still disturbs Lao Tzu's dream? Isn't it tired and crooked? If it weren't for Lao Tzu's injury and pain, I would definitely chop up your girl and feed it to the dog, get out! Get out of here! ”

The person who spoke was named Ruan Yuan, who was the owner of this house, and at the same time, he also had another identity, that is, under the command of the dark lord, the deputy master of the secret door. Hidden in the city, who would have thought that the secret door under the command of the dark lord who was specially responsible for assassination was actually in Yanling Fang, which was full of wealthy merchants.

And last night's assassination of Zhang Yuan was personally planned and carried out by Ruan Yuan.

When Huazimen was destroyed, Ruan Yuan had endured it, but after learning the news that Tumen was destroyed, as the deputy master of the secret gate, Ruan Yuan really couldn't bear it anymore, he naturally didn't plan to let Zhang Yuan go, he contacted Jin Changchuan, the deputy master of the Wumen, but was rejected, but this did not dispel his idea of assassinating Zhang Yuan. He first asked people to bribe Li Mao of the City Patrol Division, so that there was not a single soldier of the City Patrol Division on the banks of the Qinhuai River that night.

Then he arranged for a few very loyal but mediocre subordinates to go to the Songzhu Pavilion to create chaos, trying to kill Zhang Lu in the chaos. Even if he didn't succeed at that time, Ruan Yuan still personally led two waves of good hands to try to besiege Zhang Yuan.

It's a pity that they haven't been close to Zhang Yuan's body, they met Gao Haiyong and Luo Kedi, the first and second masters of Jinyiwei shot at the same time, and killed the assassin of the secret door on the spot.

Ruan Yuan himself was almost killed, if it weren't for a few good subordinates desperately protecting him, he would really have folded there.

However, even if he escaped, he was not lightly injured, and at the same time, his masters also lost seventy-seven eighty-eight in this battle, and those who escaped by luck were all seriously injured. Now up and down the Ruan Mansion, except for a few miscellaneous servants, it is difficult to find someone who is not injured.

Ruan Yuan was alert and slept very lightly, so Zhang Yuan's gentle push of the door could also wake him up.

Ruan Yuan had just fallen asleep, and he was naturally in a very bad mood when he was woken up, he turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but he accidentally touched the wound on his body, which directly hurt him and made him sleepless.

"Grandma's legs! Who would dare to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep? Ruan Yuan scolded while moving his injured body out of bed, he limped to the door two steps, and saw Zhang Yuan standing at the door.

For a long time, it has been a secret door to kill other people's homes, and there has never been a time when someone else has taken out a house, and Ruan Yuan either couldn't imagine that he was still the target of his hunting yesterday, and today he came to the door and stood in front of him.

In just one day's work, the identities of the prey and the hunter were reversed.

Of course, Ruan Yuan has killed many people, and the fierceness in his bones melts into every cell of him.

This also determines that he will never sit still.

Although he was still seriously injured, Ruan Yuan still took out a curved short dagger from behind him, this dagger was shaped like an eagle's claw, although it was not long, but it flashed a little cold light.

Zhang Yuan looked at Ruan Yuan and said, "As soon as you see me, you show your sword, it seems that you know me, but I don't know, what do you want to call it?" Which one does it belong to the Dark Lord? ”

Ruan Yuan snorted coldly and said, "I am Ruan Yuan, the deputy master of the secret gate!" ”
