Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

"This makes sense." Fang Yue nodded in agreement, "However, we cannot be helpless because of this. I believe that everyone here is the elite of Si Tianjian and will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

He glanced at everyone present and continued: "We need to strengthen our vigilance to prevent the enemy from sneaking in again. At the same time, we must also send out personnel to secretly investigate the clues about this matter. No matter what, we must seek justice for Deputy Supervisor Liu Zheng. "

After hearing Fang Yue's words, everyone fell silent and fell into deep thought.

They knew that Fang Yue was right. In the current situation, they can only rely on their own strength to solve the problem.

At this moment, an inspector hurriedly walked in, saluted Fang Yue and said, "Master Jianzheng, there is someone outside asking for a meeting, saying that he can provide clues about the murder of Deputy Inspector Liu."

"Oh? Invite him in quickly!" Fang Yue's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly.

Soon, a middle-aged man was brought in. He was wearing a cloth suit and looked unremarkable. However, his eyes shone with shrewdness, and he was obviously not a simple person.

"I've met Fang Jianzheng." The middle-aged man saluted Fang Yue.

"No need to be polite." Fang Yue waved his hand for him to sit down. "I heard that you have any clues about the murder of Deputy Superintendent Liu Zheng? Tell me quickly."

The middle-aged man nodded and said in a deep voice: "To be honest with Fang Jianzheng, I do know some inside information. However, this matter is very involved, and I can only tell Fang Jianzheng alone."

Fang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this. He glanced at everyone present, and then said: "You should step aside first. I will talk to this gentleman alone."

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey Fang Yue's order and got up and left one after another.

After everyone left, Fang Yue said to the middle-aged man, "Can we talk now?"

The middle-aged man looked around and after making sure there was no one else, he whispered: "Fang Jianzheng, wasn't it you who killed Deputy Jianzheng Liu yourself?"

When Fang Yue heard this, his expression remained unchanged. He looked at the middle-aged man coldly and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? It is a serious crime to slander an official of the imperial court!"

The middle-aged man didn't seem to be afraid. He smiled faintly and said, "Fang Jianzheng, since I dare to say this, I naturally have evidence.

Moreover, I believe you also know that there are only two of us here. If I really wanted to expose you, I would have yelled loudly long ago. Why wait until now? "

Fang Yue's heart trembled, and he realized that this middle-aged man was not simple.

He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and then said: "Since you have evidence, bring it out."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The evidence is not on me, but I can tell you where it is. However, before that, I want to make a deal with you."

"Deal?" Fang Yue raised his eyebrows, "What do you want?"

"I want Fang Jianzheng to work with us to plan big things!"

When Fang Yue heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. He stared at the middle-aged man closely, trying to discern some clues from his eyes. However, the middle-aged man's eyes were very calm, as if everything was under his control.

"Conspiracy to do something big? What do you mean?" Fang Yue asked coldly.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "Fang Jianzheng, you are a smart man and you should understand what I mean. Now that the court is in turmoil, it is a time when heroes emerge in large numbers. Why don't we take the opportunity to join forces and plan for world affairs?"

Fang Yue was shocked. He did not expect that this middle-aged man would make such a suggestion. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

"Are you from Shadow?" Fang Yue asked.

The middle-aged man did not answer Fang Yue's question directly, but smiled mysteriously and said, "Fang Jianzheng is really smart. He thought of Shadow so quickly. However, it doesn't matter whether I am from Shadow or not. What’s important is that we can work together and do great things together.”

Fang Yue's heart sank. He had previously destroyed the Shadow Society's conspiracy in Gunzhou Mansion.

It can be said that most of the tentacles of the Inverted Shadow Society inside Si Tianjian were cut off.

Now, this person has come to your door and wants to cooperate with him

Fang Yue sneered in his heart, knowing that this middle-aged man must have some agenda when he came to the door.

And the cooperation he mentioned was just a cover. The real purpose was probably to test his attitude, or to take the opportunity to carry out some kind of conspiracy against him.

However, Fang Yue is not that easy to deal with.

He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "You want to cooperate with me and plan something big? Then, can you tell me, what is your big thing?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "Fang Jianzheng, you should know that the court is in turmoil now, which is when heroes emerge in large numbers. As long as you are willing to join our Shadow Society, the previous things will be treated as if they have not happened. I, the Shadow Society, will return the favor." It will help Fang Jianzheng go further."

Fang Yue sneered even more in his heart. He understood that this middle-aged man was deliberately exaggerating the strength of the Shadow Society in order to scare him.

"Oh? Really?" Fang Yue asked deliberately.

Fang Yue listened to the middle-aged man's words and sneered in his heart.

He understood that the cooperation mentioned by this middle-aged man was just to drag him into trouble and make him a pawn of the Shadow Society.

And how could he, Fang Yue, give in so easily?
"Oh? Really? Then I really have to think about it carefully." Fang Yue deliberately pretended to be excited and said calmly.

The middle-aged man felt happy when he saw that Fang Yue seemed to be interested, and continued: "Fang Jianzheng, don't worry, our Shadow Club will never let you down. As long as you join us, we promise to make you a member of the imperial court." The noblest among them all.”

Fang Yue looked at the middle-aged man's confident face, but his heart was full of sneers.

He knew that everything this middle-aged man said was just to achieve his own goal.

And how could he, Fang Yue, be deceived so easily?

"Okay, I will think about it carefully." Fang Yue nodded and said lightly.

He knew that he couldn't refuse the other party directly yet, otherwise it would probably arouse the other party's suspicion.

And once the other party becomes aware of your true thoughts, it may be detrimental to you.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he saw that Fang Yue agreed to consider it.

He knew that as long as Fang Yue was willing to consider it, the matter would be half successful.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Fang Jianzheng, I believe you are a smart man and will definitely make the right choice. Then, I won't disturb you anymore. You can send someone to notify me at any time after you have thought about it. .”

After saying this, the middle-aged man turned around and left without any hesitation.

Fang Yue watched the middle-aged man leave, knowing in his heart that this was just a test by the Shadow Society.

He will never easily fall into the trap of the other party, nor will he betray his own principles and stance.

The current situation in the imperial court is complicated enough, and he must not allow himself to become a pawn of the Shadow Society and be drawn into a deeper whirlpool.

However, he also understood that since the Shadow Society had come to the door, it meant that they had already taken action.

He must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, strengthen Si Tianjian's vigilance, and at the same time secretly investigate the clues of the Shadow Society to seek justice for Deputy Supervisor Liu.

"Hey, I obviously just want to practice and live quietly, but why do people always want to force me!" Fang Yue sighed in a voice that only he could hear, with a trace of helplessness on his face.

Immediately, he stood up, changed his clothes and left Si Tianjian's station.

at the same time.

The middle-aged man who came to Fang Yue just now came to a remote courtyard in the city.

He pushed open the courtyard door, walked in, and then closed the door gently.

In the courtyard, a man in black was standing with his back to him, as if waiting for something.

Hearing the sound of the door ringing, he slowly turned around, revealing a gloomy face.

"How is it? Did he agree?" the man in black asked coldly.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "He didn't agree directly, but he didn't refuse either. He said he needed to think about it."

"Consider it?" The man in black frowned, "Is he deliberately stalling for time, or does he really have concerns?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said: "In my opinion, he should be really worried. After all, his current status and identity, being involved with our Shadow Society, will indeed be very risky."

Hearing this, the man in black sneered and said, "He thinks he can get rid of the control of our Shadow Society? How naive! Since he didn't refuse directly, it means that he is still shaken in his heart. We just need to give him more With a fire, I believe he will make a choice soon."

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Yes, we can use his enemies in the court to create some trouble for him. By then, he will naturally understand that only our Shadow Society is his true ally."

The man in black nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, it must be done cleanly and without leaving any traces."

The middle-aged man said yes, then turned and left.

The man in black looked at his leaving back with a cold smile on his face.

He knew that Fang Yue was already in the possession of their Shadow Society, it was just a matter of time.

~~~~~
"Sure enough, the Shadow Society's power in Gunzhou Mansion has not really been uprooted, but there are still some fish that have slipped through the net."

Looking at the house in front of him, Fang Yue already felt a little confident in his heart.

He knew that this house must be an important stronghold of the Shadow Society in Gunzhou Mansion, otherwise the middle-aged man would not have appeared here.

He did not act rashly, but first observed the surroundings.

He discovered that although this house seemed ordinary, the surrounding layout hid mysteries.

There are secret sentries and mechanisms hidden in some inconspicuous corners, obviously to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

"This Shadow Society is very cautious." Fang Yue thought to himself.

However, he was undeterred.

He knew that if he wanted to completely eradicate the Shadow Society's power in Gunzhou Mansion, he would have to take a risk.

He took a deep breath, then gathered his strength and prepared to sneak into the house.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from the house.

He was shocked, immediately restrained his breath and hid in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a man in black walking out of the house.

The man in black was tall, with a stern face, and a fierce murderous aura in his eyes.

He glanced around, then jumped up and disappeared into the night sky.

"What a strong aura! The strength of this man in black is not simple, he is actually a late-stage innate master." Fang Yue was secretly shocked.

The next moment, Fang Yue did not flinch, but rushed in directly.

Fang Yue had a strong figure and sneaked into the house quietly like a ghost.

He stayed close to the corner, carefully avoiding the hidden mechanisms, and at the same time scanned the surroundings with keen eyes, looking for possible clues.

The layout of the house was more complicated than he imagined. The intricate rockeries, winding corridors, and flowers and trees everywhere formed natural barriers and traps.

Fang Yue had to admire the Shadow Society's concealment and defense methods, which were indeed extraordinary.

He leaned forward along a seemingly ordinary gravel path, and heard the subtle sound of wind and insects in his ears, as if telling the secret of the night.

Suddenly, he felt a weak murderous aura coming from the front, and his heart suddenly froze.

Fang Yue quickly calmed down his breath, clung to a rockery, and slowly poked his head out.

I saw a few figures chatting in a low voice in a small pavilion not far ahead.

Due to the distance and the hazy night, he could not see the faces of those people clearly, but from their breath and conversation, he could conclude that these people must be senior members of the Shadow Society.

"It seems that this is indeed a secret stronghold of the Shadow Society." Fang Yue thought to himself.

He did not act rashly, but decided to first find out the identities of these people and the content of their conversations.

Fang Yue quietly walked around the pavilion and came to a relatively hidden corner.

He used his skills and raised his hearing to the extreme, trying to capture the conversations of those people.

Although the distance was a bit far, and there were rockeries and plants blocking it, Fang Yue could still vaguely hear some fragments.

"The plan has been arranged. As soon as there is any movement from Fang Yue, we will take action immediately."

"The matter of Deputy Supervisor Liu must not be left alone. We must make Fang Yue pay the price."

"Our power has penetrated into the Gunzhou City Guards. As long as the time is right, we can take control of the overall situation in one fell swoop."

Hearing these words, Fang Yue was shocked.

He did not expect that the power of the Shadow Society had penetrated to this extent, and even placed people inside the Gunzhou Prefecture City Guards to plot evil.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that what he was facing was not just a simple shadow society, but a huge force that had penetrated deeply into the court and might even affect the entire situation.

He must not take such an enemy lightly. (End of chapter)
