ng Yunzheng sneered coldly, a flash of ruthlessness passing through his eyes, and thrust his sword towards him.
Fifth Guo cried out in panic, "Wait, wait a mont, you can’t kill . Do you know who my master is? Do you know whose territory this black market is?"
"Yes, the Second Prince."
Fifth Guo had initially intended to bluff, but upon hearing this, he was so frightened that he almost lost his footing. He looked at him incredulously, "You, you know? How did you find out?"
In the eyes of the world, the Second Prince was already soone who had died in an accident.
Even this operation was ostensibly led by the Third Prince, and those who knew the Second Prince was still alive were very few. ng Yunzheng wasn’t supposed to know.
ng Yunzheng’s hands itched to finish him off then and there, but this person seed to know quite a bit of information. He wanted to see if he could extract so useful information from him.
Therefore, he refrained from taking action and instead pulled out a bead.
"Recognize this?"
Fifth Guo squinted his eyes; the visibility here was too dim, and he couldn’t see clearly.
ng Yunzheng had no intention of letting him see it clearly either; he simply said, "Back then, you were unwilling to sell the black market in Jiangyuan County to because you were afraid I might accidentally discover sothing and thus uncover who the black market boss was, right? But even though I didn’t buy the black market, I know everything I should know. I know that the person who killed my maternal grandfather’s family back then was an assassin sent by Gong Qiu, and that assassin lost a bead, which my cousin has been holding—it’s this very one in my hand. Later, soone even found an identical bead on the wrist of the black market’s forr steward."
Fifth Guo’s pupils shrank, never thinking that they would be exposed by such an inconspicuous bead.
ng Yunzheng said, "What do you think, an assassin from Gong Qiu and the forr steward of the black market both having the sa kind of bead, what does that imply? It implies that the two of them were closely connected. And the black market is also related to Gong Qiu, possibly he is the boss behind the scenes. But Gong Qiu was beheaded, I saw it with my own eyes, he’s dead, yet the black market continues to operate normally and even plans to withdraw from Jiangyuan County in an orderly manner. Now, if there isn’t soone in charge behind it all, who would believe it? The black market is a colossal entity, and the person in charge must not have a simple identity. Other than the Second Prince, whose cause of death was suspicious, who else could have such capabilities?"
Fifth Guo felt that ng Yunzheng was terrifying, no wonder the master instructed not to have too much contact with him.
Look, the mont he arrived at the black market, everything was turned upside down.
Fifth Guo felt a chill all over, forcing a smile, "Not surprised, it’s Young Master ng. Since you know the master’s abilities, you should stand on our side and help the master. Your skills are extraordinary, and you are clever and learned. When the master ascends to a high position in the future, he will definitely not treat you poorly. After all, you and the master are brothers..."
ng Yunzheng thrust his sword forward, and Fifth Guo was still trying to persuade him by every possible ans, taken by surprise that he would actually make a move.
He grasped the sword in his chest, lifted his head, and his expression was one of utter confusion.
"You... why?"
ng Yunzheng was deeply regretful, expecting to extract so useful information from him, but all he got was pointless talk.
"Why? Because my surna is ng. Oh, by the way, there’s sothing else I need to tell you. Back when you sold the black market to Old Master Miao, we had actually already negotiated a deal with him. A year later, he was supposed to transfer the estate to . Last month marked exactly one year, and now that estate and mountain are under my na."
