Chapter 270 Shadow Society

"That makes sense." Fang Yue nodded in agreement, "However, we can't just sit there and do nothing. I believe that everyone here is an elite of the Sitianjian, and they will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

He glanced at the people present and continued, "We need to be more vigilant to prevent the enemy from sneaking in again. At the same time, we must send people to secretly investigate the clues of this matter. In any case, we must seek justice for Deputy Supervisor Liu."

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.

Just then, an inspector hurried in, saluted Fang Yue and said, "Master Supervisor, someone outside wants to see you, saying that he can provide clues about the murder of Deputy Supervisor Liu."

"Oh? Please invite him in!" Fang Yue's eyes lit up and said hurriedly.

Soon, a middle-aged man was brought in. He was dressed in a cloth and looked inconspicuous. However, his eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he was obviously not a simple person.

"Meet Fang Jianzheng." The middle-aged man saluted Fang Yue.

"No need to be polite." Fang Yue waved his hand to signal him to sit down, "I heard that you have clues about the murder of Deputy Jianzheng Liu? Come and tell me."

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 involves a lot of people, so I dare not tell Fang Jianzheng alone."

Fang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this. He glanced at the people present, and then said: "You can leave 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 they all stood up and left.

After everyone left, Fang Yue said to the middle-aged man: "Can you tell me now?"

The middle-aged man looked around and made sure there was no one else, then whispered: "Supervisor Fang, didn't you kill Deputy Supervisor Liu yourself?"

Fang Yue heard this, his expression did not change, he looked at the middle-aged man coldly and said: "Do you know what you are talking about? Slandering an official appointed by the court is a serious crime!"

The middle-aged man did not seem to be afraid. He smiled lightly and said: "Supervisor Fang, since I dare to say so, I naturally have evidence.

Besides, I believe you also know that there are only two of us here. If I really want to expose you, I would have shouted loudly a long time ago. Why wait until now?"

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

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

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The evidence is not with 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 conspire with us!"

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

"Conspire for a big thing? What do you mean?" Fang Yue asked coldly.

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

Fang Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that this middle-aged man would make such a suggestion. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself 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 matters is that we can work together and plot big things together."

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

It can be said that most of the tentacles of Shadow Society in Sitianjian were cut off.

Now, this person came to him and actually wanted to cooperate with him.

Fang Yue sneered in his heart. He knew that this middle-aged man must have some intention when he came to him.

And the cooperation he mentioned was just a cover. The real purpose was probably to test his attitude, or to take the opportunity to plot against him.

However, Fang Yue was not so easy to deal with.

He took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "You want to cooperate with me and conspire for great things? Then, can you tell me what your great things are?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "Fang Jianzheng, you should know that the court is in turmoil now, and it is the time for heroes to emerge. As long as you are willing to join our Shadow Club, the previous things will be treated as if they did not happen. My Shadow Club will help Fang Jianzheng go further."

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

"Oh? Really?" Fang Yue asked deliberately.

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

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

And how could he, Fang Yue, surrender 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 this court." The most noble person."

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. When you have thought about it, you can send someone to notify me at any time. ”

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 are there always people trying to force me!"

Fang Yue sighed in a voice that only he could hear, with a hint 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 really have concerns. After all, his current status and identity are involved with our Shadow Society, and there will indeed be great risks."

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 appear 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 dark.

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! This man in black is not simple, he is actually a master of the late Xiantian period." Fang Yue was secretly shocked.

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

Fang Yue was agile and sneaked into the house silently like a ghost.

He stuck to the corner of the wall, carefully avoiding the hidden mechanisms, and at the same time scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, looking for possible clues.

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

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

He walked forward along a seemingly ordinary stone path, and heard the subtle sound of wind and insects, as if telling the secrets of the night.

Suddenly, he felt a faint murderous aura coming from the front, and his heart was suddenly trembling.

Fang Yue quickly restrained his breath, stuck close to a rockery, and slowly stuck his head out.

He saw a few figures talking in a low voice in a small pavilion not far ahead.

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

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

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

Fang Yue quietly bypassed the small pavilion and came to a relatively hidden corner.

He used his skills to improve his hearing to the extreme, trying to capture the conversation of those people.

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

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

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

". Our power has penetrated into the inner part of the Gunzhou City Guard. As long as the time is right, we can control 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 such an extent, and even planted people inside the Gunzhou City Guard 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 into the inner part of the court and might even affect the overall situation.

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