Chapter 333: Chapter 66 Alliances and Manipulations (Part 1)
“The real murderer who killed Zhang Zongyang!”
Upon hearing this sentence, Li Fei’s expression finally changed.
The origin of all these sudden changes was because of Zhang Zongyang’s death.
Now that the ‘Beast King’ Yu Longqing was dead, the crisis facing the Zhang Family was temporarily resolved, and many might no longer care who the real murderer of Zhang Zongyang actually was.
But Shangguan Xiao would certainly care, hence Li Fei would care too.
Moreover, to kill a Helmsman of the Zhi Ge Court, a Sitting Official of the Fourth Rank, what appalling conspiracy or interests could be involved in all of this?
It is no exaggeration to say that the true murderer could be related to the careers of a bunch of high officials in Datong Prefecture.
Even to an outsider, the value of this true murderer was imnse!
Feng Sanniang suggesting this condition in exchange for a share of the future Exotic Beast Food market wasn’t excessive at all.
The precondition was that the true murderer she provided was real.
“Do you have conclusive evidence?”
Li Fei looked into Feng Sanniang’s eyes and asked.
Feng Sanniang smiled seductively, “If I didn’t have conclusive evidence, how would I dare propose such a condition? Young Master Qing is so formidable, how could I dare to deceive you?”
“Fine, if you can prove that the true murderer you speak of is real, I’ll give you half the market.”
Li Fei said.
“Deal, then I’ll tell you who the real murderer is after the deal is done,”
Feng Sanniang smiled and said.
Li Fei narrowed his eyes, “What if I want to know now?”
Feng Sanniang picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and then wiped away the water stain at the corner of her mouth with her finger:
“Young Master Qing jokes. You might not fear deceiving you, after all, you have the power to kill directly. But I have to guard against you breaking our agreent. What if I tell you the real murderer now, and you renege on our deal later? Besides, the Poison King and Gun King are not easy targets, what if we can’t get the entire market even if we join forces? So it’s better to wait until everything settles down, then I will tell you the real murderer.”
Li Fei was silent for a while.
If it were him, he wouldn’t hand over such an important bargaining chip in advance either.
“What if we change the condition? Sanniang, you may propose sothing I can offer upfront to exchange for the true murderer.”
Li Fei asked.
He still wanted to know who the true murderer was as soon as possible because he had a premonition that the repercussions of this matter were not over yet.
The real storm might have not yet arrived!
“Sorry.”
Feng Sanniang shook her head, “I only want a share of the future Exotic Beast Food market.”
“Fine, half. After the deal is done, you tell who the real murderer is.”
Li Fei said.
This concluded the cooperation between the two of them.
…
Li Fei walked out of ‘Yuan Xiang Pool’ and got back into that luxurious car.
The car slowly left Fenghua Avenue, heading towards Datong District.
The last ti Li Fei, as the Green-faced Ghost, left Fenghua Avenue, he encountered an ambush.
Now, leaving Fenghua Avenue again as the Green-faced Ghost, no one dared to make a move against him!
Ten minutes later, the car drove into Datong District and entered a street.
This street was completely deserted, all the shops were closed, and a few martial artists were guarding the ends of the street.
The car carrying Li Fei entered this street and stopped outside a teahouse.
Two martial artists in black coats were guarding the teahouse. Upon seeing the car, their expressions turned solemn.
As Li Fei got out of the car, the two martial artists visibly beca tense.
“Ghost King, please co upstairs.”
One of the martial artists stepped forward and respectfully said to Li Fei.
Li Fei nodded, and led by him, he entered the teahouse, went up to the second floor, and into a private room.
In the room sat a familiar face to Li Fei—Inspector General Xia Huan from the Inspection General Office of Datong Prefecture.
It was this very Inspector Xia who had gone out of his way from Datong Prefecture to Xing City to give Li Fei a promotion and a raise, enhancing the authority and rank of his secret inspector position.
Yesterday, Li Fei received a call from Lu ngyang, who wanted his help in connecting people; the Inspection General Office wanted to sit down for a talk with the Green-faced Ghost.
Li Fei agreed, which led to tonight’s eting.
He first t with the ‘Queen’ Feng Sanniang, then ca to et the people from the Inspection General Office.
Since the warrant for his arrest had been cancelled, he could now openly make contact with the Governnt.
“Ghost King, I, Inspector General Xia Huan from the Inspection General Office of Datong Prefecture, am honored to et you.”
Xia Huan stood up to greet Li Fei.
“Mm.”
Li Fei uttered softly and sat down opposite Xia Huan.
Xia Huan didn’t mind Li Fei’s arrogance and sat down with a smile.
As an Imperial Official himself, but considering the power, strength, and influence the Green-faced Ghost King now held, he was certainly qualified to talk on equal terms with his imdiate superior.
If it weren’t for the sensitive position of the Inspection General Office, it should have been the Deputy Director of Supervision from the Inspection General Office himself talking with Li Fei!
So it was normal for Li Fei to be unkind to Xia Huan.
“We have invited the Ghost King this ti to discuss a possible collaboration.”
Xia Huan had previously called Li Fei to inquire about the personality traits of the Green-faced Ghost King, and Li Fei told him that the Green-faced Ghost King valued his ti greatly and preferred straightforwardness.
So Xia Huan went straight to the point on eting and didn’t beat around the bush:
“In the past, the Inspection General Office always bought Exotic Beast Food from Yu Longqing. Now that Ghost King has taken over Yu Longqing’s business, our future dealings will be with you, Ghost King.”
Li Fei nodded and stated crisply, “That’s possible, whatever price you used to give, we’ll continue with that.”
Before coming tonight, he had asked Yang Zhe for information.
The Inspection General Office also needed to train their own martial artists, even though they could directly apply for Implants from the Datong Prefecture Governnt and receive a certain quota each year.
But no one would consider having too many martial artists under their command, and the unique attributes of the Inspection General Office determined they would need to secretly foster a group of secret martial artists.
Therefore, the Inspection General Office also bred Exotic Beasts in secret, naturally requiring to purchase Exotic Beast Food.
Previously, they did business with Yu Longqing, who for the sake of having people from the Inspection General Office as his contacts, had always sold them Exotic Beast Food at prices lower than the market rate — almost without profit.
Now that Li Fei was taking over Yu Longqing’s business, he had no intention to profit from the Inspection General Office, so he directly stated the price would remain unchanged.
Whatever the forr rate Yu Longqing gave, he would also offer the sa.
Maintaining relations with the Inspection General Office would be beneficial for the future developnt of Qingyuan City Managent Company as well.
Hearing Li Fei say this, a smile appeared on Xia Huan’s face:
“Ghost King is really straightforward! However, our cooperation could actually beco deeper.”
“Oh?”
Li Fei looked at Xia Huan, “Like how?”
“We at the Inspection General Office would like to invite the Ghost King to beco our Honorary Tributor.”
Xia Huan revealed his main purpose for the eting tonight.
