I didn't kill the guy surnamed Hao because whether he lived or died was irrelevant.
I looked at the fat guy trembling in front of me.
He smiled meaningfully and then left with Wen Ge and the others.
I first went to see Elder Fu and explained what I had discovered.
I didn't tell him about the Ye family; it would have been pointless. The old man wouldn't get involved in my feud with the Ye family.
What I discovered can only annoy the Ye family; it won't cause any real harm.
After exchanging pleasantries with Elder Fu for a while, I set off for the garrison headquarters.
He went to see Gu Cong, the garrison commander of Heishan Prefecture, who was a talent cultivated by the national military system.
A war orphan taken in by the state only managed to rise in status by marrying a concubine's daughter from the Ye family.
Finally, he became the garrison commander of Black Mountain Prefecture. This time, it was the direct descendants of the Ye family who sought his help and openly plotted against me.
However, he wasn't very sincere in helping me; he also subtly inquired about my background.
After observing the Ye family's behavior, he could only helplessly conclude that the direct descendants of the Ye family were too naive and their actions were too crude.
His actions had absolutely no effect on me.
As long as I still have the Grandmasters under my command, I can have as many ordinary forces as I want.
But these are things only you can understand; others can't advise you on them, or they'll turn you into an enemy.
However, the Ye family's direct descendants treated him like a servant, which made him very resentful, since he was already a high-ranking official in charge of a region.
But any direct descendant of the Ye family would order him around and treat him with no respect whatsoever.
I went to the garrison headquarters alone with the evidence, and secretly sneaked in to meet Lord Gu.
When I suddenly appeared in front of him, he was drinking strong liquor.
As a high-ranking official, he showed no surprise at my sudden appearance.
He just looked at me calmly, and drank another glass of wine.
Without saying a word, I went to the table and threw the evidence in front of him.
Then he casually picked up the wine on the table, smelled it, and exclaimed, "This is really good wine, it's a pity I don't drink."
After that, I just watched Lord Gu, waiting for his reaction.
He rummaged through the things I brought, frowning. These things were of no consequence to him.
However, it's very troublesome. If it gets leaked, he'll have to spend a lot of money to smooth things over, so it's best not to leak it if possible.
He rubbed his head, which was starting to throb.
He asked me helplessly, "Speak up, kid, what exactly do you want?"
I smiled and looked at Lord Gu, saying in the same way, "Lord Gu, you're saying I'm an outsider..."
If you want to do anything in Black Mountain Prefecture, don't you need to find a powerful backer?
I brought this with me to make friends. After all, more friends mean more paths, fewer enemies mean fewer walls.
Lord Gu's eyes suddenly narrowed; he never expected me to say that.
At such a young age, I have no sense of loyalty or impulsiveness.
He himself couldn't even guarantee whether he could handle the situation.
After all, people in the underworld value face, and I was seriously humiliated.
Now that I have leverage over you again, it's truly not easy for me to give up revenge and prioritize peace.
He looked at me very seriously, and after a while, he suddenly picked up his wine glass.
Yao Yao gestured to me, but I, being the spoilsport, said, "Excuse me, I'm a minor and can't drink alcohol."
Lord Gu was taken aback by my words, and then he said to me...
We all burst into laughter. I didn't linger and burned the evidence in front of Lord Gu.
I left, but when I left,
I told him, "Friendship isn't about how eloquently you speak, but how you get along in the future. You'll see, Master Gu."
