Chapter 92: Do you still want to live?
"How do you say that?"
At first, Ji Yunshu only knew that the deal hadn't been done, so he didn't ask about the details.
But now, the more I think about it, the more I feel there is something fishy going on.
Bai Ling said, "This man has been very generous ever since he arrived in the capital. He spent money like water at Yihongyuan and the gambling house. Perhaps because his money was flowing so quickly, he started doing business with several medical clinics in the capital. He would get a deposit if the order was signed. He came to our clinic and asked if we needed any medicinal materials. The Suzhou Jin family is very famous in this field, so the shopkeeper saw this as an opportunity and placed an order. Who knew he would regret it the next day?"
Ji Yunshu pondered her words. It sounded like the young master of the Jin family didn't know what her clinic was about at first, so he casually agreed to place an order. But when he returned, he probably was informed of the situation by someone, so he broke the contract.
It doesn't seem strange for a playboy to do such a thing.
But there was one thing wrong. The plaque hanging in the clinic was bestowed by the emperor himself. If you ask carefully, you will know that the clinic is hers.
Why does a medicinal material merchant from Suzhou think he can afford to offend me?
"Who did his sister marry? What's the situation?"
Bai Ling had been investigating the Jin family for the past few days and knew everything about them. He immediately said, "He's a bastard son of the Zhou Imperial Physician. His family has plenty of doctors, so there's no need to hire outside. Since this involves the women in the inner chambers, it's difficult to find out."
"Then how do you know her condition hasn't improved?"
Bai Ling said embarrassedly, "I had someone bribe a maid to bring out some medicinal residue. I've been making the same medicine these past few days. It looks like it can cure a cold."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and asked, "People say that medicine is three-quarters poisonous. What happens if you drink too much medicine for colds?"
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment: "She will... she will be listless. Are you saying... she's not sick?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I don't know either. Go check who this young master Jin has been meeting and what he has been doing these days. Find out every detail."
Bai Ling didn't quite understand why his master valued this Mr. Jin so much, but seeing that Ji Yunshu didn't intend to say anything, he didn't ask any more questions and went out to do his work.
Ji Yunshu himself went to the dark cell again.
Although Heifeng was asleep, he was completely different from when he first came in.
He looked dazed. When he saw Ji Yunshu and heard someone coming in, he didn't even move, as if he had no strength left in his body.
Ji Yunshu looked at him and chuckled, "You're done so soon?"
Hei Feng raised his eyelids slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "I have told you everything I know. You can kill me now."
He's just a killer and doesn't know anything that really matters.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Do you really not want to live anymore?"
Heifeng sneered: "Don't tell me you want to let me go?"
"You've already said everything you know. To me, you're no longer of any value. It's not impossible to let you go."
Hei Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "I have already betrayed my master. Even if you let me go, I won't be able to survive."
"I just ask you, do you still want to live?"
Heifeng looked at him for a moment and found that the person in front of him was not joking.
He never considered himself a smart person, but at this moment an idea suddenly struck him: "You want to use me?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You've been killing people for them all these years. Have you ever thought about your own ending?"
A killer either kills people or is killed by others.
His fate was already determined.
Ji Yunshu asked again: "How do they control you? It's not just loyalty, right?"
The other party has committed a serious crime of confiscating property and exterminating the entire clan. How can they believe that loyalty can prevent people from betraying them?
Moreover, she had clearly persuaded this man last time, but he still refused to tell the truth.
Heifeng sneered: "Don't you know how to control people?"
Ji Yunshu nodded, it seemed to be medicine.
She stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to see if they can make an antidote. If they can, we can discuss the next steps."
Apart from anything else, this person is quite skilled.
Of course, Ji Yunshu was attracted to him not only because of his skills.
The King of Hell no longer exists on the surface, but as long as there are people behind it, they can continue to train killers.
This person is from the Yama Palace and has worked for the other party for many years. Even if he doesn't know anything too important, he always knows something about the other party's internal personnel, behavioral habits, strongholds, etc.
Zhao Shen’s disappearance is most likely related to them. If we bring this person with us, there will be a greater chance of finding him.
Ji Yunshu asked Jingzhe to take the person to the study.
Before she came, she had asked Yin Ye to invite Yi Chen.
After waiting for a while, Yichen arrived.
Heifeng seemed to have accepted his fate and stayed there quietly.
Yichen's poison technique was indeed very powerful. After taking his pulse, he said, "What a powerful poison."
Ji Yunshu wasn't interested in the poison; she just wanted to know, "Can it be cured?"
Yichen pondered, "The powerful thing about this poison is that the antidote itself is poison. Once poisoned, you need to take it every once in a while to suppress the toxicity. But over time, the toxins accumulate in the body and no medicine can cure it."
Before Ji Yunshu could say anything, Heifeng suddenly looked up and asked, "Are you saying that what I take every month is not an antidote at all?"
Yichen nodded: "Of course, you are a martial artist, can't you feel the meridians in your body becoming increasingly stagnant? That is a sign that your time is running out."
"how so?"
In other words, even if Ji Yunshu didn't send people to arrest him, he wouldn't live long?
"Can it be solved?"
Ji Yunshu would not be surprised no matter what crazy things those people did. This was the only thing she cared about now.
Yichen said, "He's been taking this poison for over ten years. I can try to help him remove the poison, but that process is like rebuilding his meridians and bones. It will be very painful and not something an average person can endure."
Ji Yunshu asked Heifeng again: "Do you want to live?"
In fact, she thought that since this person had been able to withstand the torture by Jingzhe and others before, the pain of detoxification should not be a problem.
The question now is, does he still want to live?
She had no sympathy for a killer with blood on his hands, but after all, he was just a tool for killing, without any free will.
Heifeng was silent for a long time before asking, "What do you want me to do?"
"Someone has gone missing in Suzhou. If you can help find that person, I will set you free."
"Suzhou?"
Something flashed in Heifeng's eyes.
It happened in just a split second, but it didn't escape Ji Yunshu's eyes. She curled her lips and smiled, "It seems that you know something?"
She didn't doubt that the other party had deliberately not said it. The human brain can store a lot of things. Without a goal, no one knows which one is useful.
Heifeng didn't answer her question, but just asked: "What if I don't agree?"
"I'm letting you go now."
There's no point in keeping him around, and there's no point in killing him.
Ji Yunshu was not afraid of what he would say when he returned. In his eyes, he was already a traitor.
In a tight-knit killer organization, there is only one fate for traitors.
Besides, he now knew that whether he betrayed or not, he would not live long.
