low-key is king

Chapter 81 This time, let's take him under the knife!

Watanabe Castle, the City Lord's Mansion!
It was still the same room, still the three figures, it was the city lord Yang Xun and his son, plus a fourth-grade poison master Master Huaguang.

"Father, you should have heard of the killer judge during this time, right?"

Yang He from Shaocheng, who was standing next to him, spoke first, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand, and his face seemed a little unsightly.

But at this time, the first two of them all smiled when they heard what he said.

"Young City Master, you said it was the 'killer with so much emotion'?"

It was not the city lord Yang Xun who spoke, but Master Huaguang. When he said the last sentence, the smile on his face obviously turned into a touch of sarcasm, thinking that he was a sensationalist clown.

"This killer judge has indeed done some things recently, which has made the atmosphere of my Watanabe Castle a lot better. Speaking of which, our City Lord's Mansion should also thank him!"

City lord Yang Xun also showed a smile on his face. This is really true. You must know that Liu Sanlang Yan Sha and others killed by the judge are all well-known villains within Watanabe Castle.

Among them, the reward for Liu Sanlang, the flower hunter, was also the reward issued by the city lord's mansion to go to the Hidden Killing Society. It can be said that the killer judge solved a very headache for them.

To be honest, with the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, it's not a problem to take care of Liu Sanlang, a second-level martial artist, but that guy is cautious and extremely slippery, so he is not easy to catch.

After sending people to fail to catch Liu Sanlang several times, the City Lord's Mansion felt troublesome, so they went to the Hidden Killing Association to issue a reward, but Liu Sanlang was actually killed.

"If it's just that, then we really have to thank him, but father, I just received a piece of information, you should read it first!"

The first two were all talking and smiling, but the complexion of the young city lord Yang He never got better. Instead, he spoke out and handed the letter paper in front of the city lord's father.

"What? Geng Lie was killed?"

When Yang Xun read the content of the information at a glance, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a touch of anger. If this was seen by outsiders, I am afraid they would be surprised.

You must know that Geng Lie, the Juehu butcher, is a villain that everyone screams and beats in the entire Watanabe City. At least the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion is to kill him quickly.

It's just that Geng Lie, like Liu Sanlang, always sees the timing when he does something, and he is a master of three realms, so he is harder to kill than Liu Sanlang. The City Lord's Mansion has never had any effective means.

"Did the judge kill him?"

Master Huaguang at the side could guess something without looking at the content on the letter paper, so he asked directly with a gloomy face, even more angry.

In fact, although Geng Lie's apparent identity is a lone traveler, he has long been subdued by the City Lord's Mansion and secretly engaged in some shady deeds.

The owner of the city, Yang Xun, has great ambitions. Over the years, he has suppressed and wooed Watanabe City, and has almost turned Watanabe City into a monolithic operation.

Except for the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, no one dared to obey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion.

During this process, naturally some families were dissatisfied, or they didn't want to go through this muddy water and wanted to remain neutral, but how could Yang Xun let them do what they wanted?

For such a guy, it is inconvenient for the City Lord's Mansion to personally suppress it, and the Geng Lie and others cultivated by Yang Xun in secret are undoubtedly such sharp knives.

The Li family was almost the last family that did not make a statement. After Yang Xun came to persuade him several times in person, the head of the Li family still pretended to be stupid, which undoubtedly angered the powerful city lord.

This is the real reason why the Li family suffered a massacre. On the surface, it was the personal enmity of Geng Lie, the extinct butcher, but in fact, it was the City Lord's Mansion who planned behind it.

For Geng Lie's sharp knife, Yang Xun still attaches great importance to it. He has done a lot of things for the city lord's mansion these years, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of an inexplicable killer now. How can he feel better?
"Well, I saw a lot of people at that time, and Geng Lie didn't lose to the judge, but... he was poisoned by carelessness!"

When Yang He said this, he subconsciously glanced at Master Huaguang.

After all, this is the number one poison master on the surface of Watanabe Castle, the way of poison, no one can match in Watanabe Castle.

"Extremely poisonous? The judge is a third-grade poison master?"

Sure enough, after hearing what Yang He said, Master Huaguang couldn't help feeling a little interested.

Because he knew that Geng Lie was a master of the three realms, if it wasn't for the poison of the third grade, it might not have much effect at all.

"It's because of this. I once asked Zhou Chong who was present at the time. According to him, the cultivation level shown by the judge is only a second-level perfect martial artist!"

Yang He shook his head slightly. Since Geng Lie was the secret agent of the City Lord's Mansion, before he reported the matter to his father, he would definitely go to find out what happened. There were not many people who witnessed the battle at that time.

The Zhou Chong he was talking about was actually the second-level martial artist. Even though he was good at cultivation, he didn't dare to show any tricks in front of the young city lord. If he asked casually, he would say everything like a bamboo tube.

Later, Yang He wanted to find Li Chun from the Li family. After all, according to Zhou Chong, Geng Lie did not die on the spot. If he could find the person involved, he might have a better understanding.

It's a pity that Li Chun also knew that there might be some changes. After taking Geng Lie away, he never appeared in Watanabe City again, which made Yang He return without success.

Although Li Chun was not found, Yang He can be sure that with Li Chun's blood feud against Geng Lie, the latter has no hope of surviving, so he no longer pays attention to these trivial matters.

"Nonsense, how can a second-level martial artist have such a poison that even a third-level martial artist can't bear?"

Master Huaguang frowned. As a fourth-grade poison master, he naturally knew the effect of the poison, and there was a difference in the realm. Even the poison he refined would have a greatly reduced effect.

"It's nothing difficult to understand, maybe it's the third-grade poison he got from other places!"

City lord Yang Xun said a fair word, seeing a gleam in his eyes, he continued: "But this killer judge, I'm afraid I can't keep it!"

The reason for saying this is not just because the judge killed Geng Lie, but because there are many dark men like Geng Lie in the City Lord's Mansion, and they are doing some shady things.

The hidden threads in the City Lord's Mansion are almost all three-level martial masters, and there is even a three-level monk. If he is really targeted by the killer judge, he might follow in Geng Lie's footsteps.

"The magistrate is elusive, but it's not easy to find!"

Yang He was a little embarrassed, like the killers of the Hidden Assassination Society, they were always real people who didn't show their faces, and they couldn't block people at the door of the Hidden Assassination Society.

The background of the Hidden Assassination Society is much stronger than this small Watanabe City Lord's Mansion.

"Maybe you can use bait!"

Master Huaguang at the side pondered for a moment and then said that the hearts of the Yang family father and son were moved, and in their hearts, there was a candidate in an instant.

"Let Kang Xian go, he is the best at fighting back from the Jedi, and he will never let us down!"

Apparently, Master Huaguang had already thought about who would make this bait, and the person he spoke of, Kang Xian, was actually a hidden martial artist secretly cultivated by the City Lord's Mansion.

"Kang Xian is only a three-level perfect martial artist, isn't it safe?"

Yang He is a cautious person, he naturally knows Kang Xian, compared to Geng Lie, this Kang Xian who is only a little higher in cultivation level, in his opinion, is not 100% able to succeed.

"Young City Master, you have already said it yourself. The judge is only a second-level perfect martial artist. He was able to kill Geng Lie before, but he used a third-grade poison by surprise. Kang Xian is not comparable to Geng Lie, and he will never be so careless!"

It seems that Master Huaguang really has great confidence in Kang Xian. The reason is that Kang Xian was trained by him, while Geng Lie was just a casual cultivator.

"The most important thing is that I often let Kang Xian test the poison himself. His resistance to the poison is many times stronger than that of Geng Lie. Even if it is the top three poison, he may not be able to bear it!"

In the end, Master Huaguang still told the real reason, which made the Yang family father and son nod in satisfaction.

Perhaps in the eyes of the three people in the hall, the killer judge was able to deal with Geng Lie only because of the third-grade poison he got from somewhere.

Without the third-grade poison, it would be a tiger without claws, so it could be kneaded at will?

"In this way, I can rest assured, He'er, how about you arrange this matter?"

Yang Xun nodded. He was very optimistic about his precious son. In the past few years, he deliberately let Yang He take care of some things, and the latter did it to his satisfaction.

"Father, don't worry, that old fellow Guo Ruoqi seems to have complained about my City Lord's Mansion recently, so this time, I'll use him for surgery!"

Yang He naturally did his part, and a goal instantly appeared in his mind. Since the auction of the International Business Alliance that day, he has been displeased with Guo Ruoqi.

In fact, the former City Lord's Mansion had also recruited that second-rank doctor, but Guo Ruoqi had never expressed his opinion. Before the auction, Yang He was quite polite to Guo Ruoqi.

I don't know if it was because Guo Ruoqi and Yang He had bid for the price at that time, or if they lost the bet, Yang He couldn't do anything to the second son of Zhendong Prince's Mansion, but he channeled all his anger on Guo Ruoqi.

As a matter of fact, how dare this doctor, who is only at the second realm, dare to be dissatisfied with the City Lord's Mansion?
I didn't expect people to sit at home, and the disaster came from the sky. This time, it really suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

"Let's look for it first. If Guo Ruoqi is not suitable, replace him with someone else. In short, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed for too long!"

Yang Xun set the tone, but he didn't say that Guo Ruoqi was the only one. A second-rank doctor, if he can win, he still has to fight for it. If he can't win, just find a way to solve it.

"City Lord, how are you going to solve the matter of Zhendong Prince's Mansion?"

After talking about the assassin and the judge, Master Huaguang's eyes flashed, and there was a trace of hostility in his tone of voice. It seemed that he was still brooding about his previous loss in Zhendong Palace.

"It's definitely not okay to confront the tough on the bright side!"

A trace of anger also flashed across Yang Xun's face. He first set the tone, then showed a weird smile, and said, "The second son, who has just returned for less than two months, should be the prince's and his wife's favorite, no? Do you know if they will give in for this precious son?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang He and Master Huaguang looked at each other, and there were tacit smiles on the faces of the three people in the hall!

Everything is under control!
