Huangxiu

Chapter 89 List
Chu Zhiyuan stared at him with eyes that suddenly became sharp.

Super sense found out that he was lying.

Obviously, he knew who the masters were. Even if he didn't know all of them, he knew some of them.

"Thank you, Elder Bai." Chu Zhiyuan's eyes relaxed and he smiled, "Thank you for your understanding."

"I don't deserve it." Bai Jingrong waved his hands and said with a chuckle, "Your Excellency is fair and just, and I admire you very much. I should repay you. Besides, I am also soft-hearted and can't bear to see too many people die."

Everyone knows that assassinating the Dazhen envoys is seeking death.

Not to mention how powerful Dazhen's guards, the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry, are, even if the assassination was successful, they would certainly be met with a thundering strike from the imperial court.

No matter how powerful a sect or master is, they cannot withstand the attack from the imperial court.

It is impossible to escape from Dajing. It is 30,000 miles from Yujing in Dajing to the border. It is almost impossible to escape the pursuit of Zhenwu Division at such a long distance.

So it is almost certain to die.

The only ray of hope is that the imperial court failed to investigate all of them and a few fish slipped through the net.

Not to mention that people are bound to die during the assassination process, and some innocent people will be swept up and die unclearly.

Therefore, informing the court in advance and foiling this assassination plan would be a meritorious deed and would also be of great benefit to the Zhenyi Sect.

"How did Elder Bai know this?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Did they ask for help from the True One Sect, or is there an expert from the True One Sect involved?"

"Absolutely not!" Bai Jingrong said hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is true. It seems that no masters from the Zhenyi Sect participated.

"That means a friend informed your Zhenyi Sect and asked them to avoid it."

"Sir!" Bai Jingrong said helplessly, "I have said everything I can say!"

"They are masters from Yaoyue Palace, right?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Masters from Yaoyue Palace are connecting with each other and forming an alliance, right?"

Bai Jingrong waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, how is this possible? Disciples of Yaoyue Palace are not allowed to enter Yujing."

Chu Zhiyuan was certain that his guess was correct.

Even if the masters of the Moon Palace did not enter Yujing, there were still ways to connect with them. The simplest way was to send a message through the Zhenyi Sect.

He turned his head and glanced at Gao Lingfeng.

Gao Lingfeng stepped forward and asked, "Sir?"

"Give Elder Bai and the others a seat."

"Yes."

Gao Lingfeng agreed and ordered the clerk to bring two chairs and place them behind them, motioning them to sit down and talk.

Bai Jingrong didn't want to sit down and wanted to leave immediately.

He just felt that Chu Zhiyuan in front of him seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and he had no way to hide in front of him.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

"Please sit down." Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Let's have a good chat."

"...Yes." Seeing Chu Zhiyuan's unquestionable expression, Bai Jingrong reluctantly agreed and clasped his fists: "Sir..."

"The masters of Yaoyue Palace killed He Jiuji." Chu Zhiyuan said, "The court will not pursue the matter. He Jiuji deserves to be killed, so let him die."

Bai Jingrong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Because it was indeed Yao Yue Palace who killed He Jiuji.

He Jiuji deserves to die!
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The expert from Yaoyue Palace should have asked, who hired He Jiuji?"

"No." Bai Jingrong shook his head.

He then smiled awkwardly.

This statement undoubtedly acknowledged that He Jiuji died at the hands of Yaoyue Palace, and that the masters of Yaoyue Palace had gone outside Yujing.

Although he had not entered Yujing, he was not far from it.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "You guys are really having trouble sleeping and eating because you haven't figured out who hired He Jiuji."

If we don’t find the employer, even if He Jiuji dies, will there be another He Jiuji?
There is more than one killer like He Jiuji in this world.

Bai Jingrong nodded helplessly: "Indeed."

"The court can continue to track down the employer." Chu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "With He Jiuji's body, we can continue to track down the employer. It may not be impossible to find the employer."

"Can we really find it?" Bai Jingrong was excited.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If the imperial court is willing, there is nothing that cannot be investigated! ... They can even send out a grandmaster!"

"Even a grandmaster might not be able to find out."

"There are differences between grandmasters and grandmasters. Just because the grandmaster of Yaoyue Palace can't find out, that doesn't necessarily mean the grandmaster of the imperial court can't find out!"

"...Okay!" Bai Jingrong thought about it, finally gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "I can hand over a list, but the court cannot kill them for this."

"Okay!" Chu Zhiyuan said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Yaoyue Palace is really good to your Zhenyi Sect. They linked them together in order to make a deal with the court and let the court continue to investigate, right?"

"Absolutely not!" Bai Jingrong's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "How could you trade something like this? My Lord thinks too lowly of us!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Not the best."

He concluded that what Bai Jingrong said was true and pouted at Gao Lingfeng.

Gao Lingfeng hurriedly ordered the clerk to move a desk over, present pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Bai Jingrong to write the list. Chu Zhiyuan continued, "The court continues to track down the person behind He Jiuji, so please invite the masters of the Moon Palace to withdraw. Yujing is already busy enough, so don't come to join in the fun."

Bai Jingrong remained silent and lowered his head to write the list.

He wrote with great speed, and in the blink of an eye he had written a name.

From what Super Sense saw, contrary to his appearance, he actually had a beautiful hand in calligraphy, and this Bai Jingrong was actually a talented person.

……

Chu Zhiyuan didn't say anything more and didn't mention the invitation to Yuegong again.

Bai Jingrong could only deliver the message, but it was not up to Bai Jingrong to decide what to do with the masters of Yaoyue Palace.

It was already a rare opportunity to pry this list out from Bai Jingrong. As for Yao Yue Palace, that was really not something he could control.

As a prince and a deputy minister, he had little deterrent power in the Yaoyue Palace.

The relationship between Yaoyue Palace and Emperor Dajing is complicated and subtle. My level is far from enough and I am not qualified to get involved.

However, the Yaoyue Palace had no male disciples five hundred years ago. Could it be that they are still taking care of the Zhenyi Sect because of this connection?
The relationship between Yaoyue Palace and Zhenyi Sect is closer than I thought. What is the reason?
While he was thinking, his super sense was observing Bai Jingrong to see if he had written out the entire list and if he was playing tricks on the list.

Bai Jingrong wrote very fluently, with more than a hundred names densely written in beautiful small regular script, and he remembered them skillfully.

The so-called guarding against others is indispensable.

We must be on guard against Bai Jingrong using the imperial court as a knife to kill people with someone else's knife.

But there was something wrong with Fang Haiyang's expression.

He seemed very dissatisfied and agitated that his master had betrayed these people, but he was suppressing his anger and lowering his head to hide his expression.

After Bai Jingrong put down the purple hair brush, Gao Lingfeng took it, blew dry the ink and presented it to him.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't look at him for long, just stared at Fang Haiyang and said with a smile: "This little brother, is he the disciple of Elder Bai?"

Bai Jingrong looked at Fang Haiyang and said with a smile, "Yes, I accepted him as my last disciple. He has good aptitude, Fang Haiyang."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Fang seems to disagree with your master's decision and thinks that these people should not be exposed, right?"

Bai Jingrong was stunned and glared at Fang Haiyang.

Fang Haiyang lowered his head and remained silent.

"Yang'er, you..." Bai Jingrong's face darkened.

He knew Fang Haiyang, and as soon as he saw Fang Haiyang's expression, he knew that what Chu Zhiyuan said was right. He really disagreed with him and was disgusted with doing this.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Young people, it is inevitable that their thoughts are somewhat extreme. They probably haven't seen the thundering methods of the imperial court."

He had seen quite a few in Tsutenkaku.

Not to mention the distant past, even the current emperor has destroyed ten sects since he ascended the throne.

These sects are big and small. The two big ones are about the same size as Zhenyi Sect. Fang Haiyang is still young and has never seen them, but Bai Jingrong must have experienced them and knows how powerful they are.

If these people on the list dare to take action, the result will inevitably be rivers of blood and countless deaths.

Fang Haiyang was young and full of passion. He disdained to be a traitor or to sell out.

"Ah..." Bai Jingrong said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. I'll go back and talk to him properly."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't let him do anything stupid."

Giving advance warning will add a lot of trouble and variables.

"Yes, absolutely not!" Bai Jingrong said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Is there anything wrong with this list? Is there anything missing or wrong?"

"It may not be complete, but we will never wrongly accuse them." Bai Jingrong said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction and clasped his fists.

Bai Jingrong tactfully said goodbye and left.

……

The room fell silent.

Chu Zhiyuan's face was gloomy, and Gao Lingfeng's face was also gloomy.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing.

After a long time, Gao Lingfeng broke the silence: "Sir..."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "This is the people in the martial arts world. They are really not afraid of death. What can I say about them?"

These people are truly willing to sacrifice their lives for revenge.

He must have a blood feud with Dazhen.

These people must be punished so that they will be in awe, but they cannot be killed to arouse public anger and lose the support of the people.

Forced suppression will only result in losses over gains.

The key to this must be grasped well, and you must not try to force it.

"Sir, what should we do?" Gao Lingfeng asked through gritting his teeth.

He has always been dissatisfied with the people in the martial arts world, thinking that they are the source of trouble and chaos. Every year, countless innocent people die tragically at the hands of martial arts masters.

If you want peace in the world, you must first pacify them.

But he also knew that this was impossible, so he could only try his best to maintain the dignity of the court and maintain deterrence.
