Chapter 96 The Number One Black Knife [Please vote for me! 】
Due to family matters these past two days, Liang Peng was not in a hurry to return to Kendo Academy. He didn't rush back early until there was a lecture this morning.
The wind flies through the mountains in the early morning, and the spring breeze flutters my clothes.
He found a secluded and uninhabited place, suddenly landed, placed the dragon talisman around his waist on a stone, and walked to the shadow on the other side.
"Come out." He said calmly.
"Ah..." With a very unhappy cry, his shadow twisted into shape and turned into the little black one, "Why do you keep using that talisman to suppress me?"
Liang Peng had already discovered this before. Black Shadow may have once been a very powerful practitioner, but now his ghost strength is very weak.
When the sunlight is slightly stronger, he cannot appear.
And the dragon talisman given by Liang Yue was able to suppress the ghost so hard that it could not show its face at all. This is a good method when you don't want him to see something.
"Everyone has to have some private moments, and I can't let you watch them all the time. Don't you have somewhere else to go?" he asked.
"I can only survive in the shadow. Every time I integrate, it takes a lot of strength. If I leave you and then integrate with others, then I will almost completely disappear." Black Shadow said angrily.
"Then you can only be suppressed for a while." Liang Peng showed no mercy, "You know, it is impossible for us to be absolutely candid."
" Why not?" Heiying asked: "Since we met, it was fate. Didn't we already agree that day, you give me what I want, and I will give you what you want."
Liang Peng calmly asked: "Then can you tell me your origin?"
"I will tell you when the time is right!" Black Shadow said suddenly.
Liang Peng sneered, "Momen Shadow Lord?"
"Huh?" The black shadow suddenly froze and fell into a brief silence.
After a while, he said: "When you suppressed me, were you going to find out my origin?"
"I'm not that bored, and I went out of my way to find out. This kind of thing is a little easier. You can guess it if you think about it." Liang Peng said in a calm tone, "Your method of blending ghosts into shadows is originally a method exclusive to soul cultivators. Not many people practice this now, and you have the desire to see through people. The ability is similar to the rumors about the Demon Lord Dongyue Peak a hundred years ago, and you said that you have been sealed for nearly fifty years, and the Demon Lord Shadow has disappeared for about the same time."
"Hei. Ying then laughed and said, "I was discovered by you."
Liang Peng continued: "The reason why you merged into my shadow is probably not just because I am a Qi Refiner. You must have come to Kendo Academy to retrieve your suppressed body, right? With my identity, it is possible to let you Approaching the Demon Cliff of Back Mountain Town."
"..." Heiying was speechless. Unexpectedly, all his plans were revealed. After a while, he said: "You have already said it, what else can I say?"
Liang Peng replied: "Since I told you this, it means that I will not report you. But we need to distinguish between you and me. I don't want you to do anything in the future. Also beware of you digging holes for me. I can tell you clearly how much you have helped me, and I will give you a corresponding reward. You said that you were wronged. Betrayal, and have no desire to find your former disciple, you should also think that fellow demon sects cannot be trusted. Now you should remember that I am the only person you can trust.”
“Okay. His tone became serious, "I will deal with you fairly."
Liang Peng nodded and said, "Think about it carefully. When you go back, I want the soul-strengthening elixir you mentioned last time."
After saying that, he walked over and picked up the dragon talisman.
“Ah——”
The black shadow was once again suppressed by the dragon talisman, and could only cry out in pain, and lay dormant in embarrassment.
......
Early on the next morning, Liang Yue packed up his luggage, put on the white clothes of the Zhuxie Division, took out the Snow-Stepping Dragon Horse, and ran to the imperial city in the north.
After the announcement at the side door again, this time he was led directly to the Yinma Prison Yamen deep in the imperial city.
The door and wall are deep and cold, and the corridor is high and cold.
This place seems to be located under a high palace wall. It is dark and gloomy, as if the sunlight cannot reach it for thousands of years. Occasionally, there are one or two people wearing black clothes with red lining and wearing long swords at their waists. .
After making the announcement at the front door, Liang Yue stood there waiting with his eyes constantly observing, wondering to himself, has everyone here been stabbed and not fettered?
That’s pretty miserable.
No wonder it looks so yin-y, maybe it makes you sad when you think of the yang character?
A moment later, a guard walked out of the porch and said: "Master Liang, please come this way."
With that said, Liang Yue was introduced into the Yamen of Yinma Prison.
As soon as I walked into the porch, I heard screams coming from inside. It was so sad and sad that it was unbearable to hear.
The guard looked normal. As he walked away, he said to Liang Yue: "Master Liang, I would like to remind you that the person responsible for dealing with you is the number one black sword in our prison, Master Cao Yi. He He has a bad temper and will kill people at every turn. You should be more careful.”
Liang Yue had learned before he came that there were two main types of people working in Yinma Prison.
The one who works in secret is called "Eagle Eye", and the one who fights head-on is called "Black Knife". Their ranks are both between eight and nine. As the seventh-grade prince's companion, he is higher than them in terms of rank.
But it’s not all about grade everywhere. In the Yinma Prison, if someone below grade five dies inexplicably, there may not be a splash.
So Liang Yue will never feel arrogant.
But what the guard said about killing people at every turn might be considered intimidation, and he didn’t take it seriously.
The guard took him outside a black iron prison. Through the gate and the bars, he saw a tall and thin young man, with his back to the cell door, slowly inserting a black knife into a tied man. On the chest of the prisoner on the pillar, he asked in a deep voice: "I ask you again, do you want to attack me?"
"Ah -" the prisoner wailed and cried out in pain, "I will attack you! I will attack you all! But you are Ask!"
"You still want me to ask?" The young man snorted, "You are still not sincere."
As he said this, he slowly twisted the knife in his hand. Liang Yue, who was looking outside, grinned.
"But don't ask, sir, what am I going to recruit..." The prisoner's face turned pale, and he was about to die.
"Write down all the things you have committed. If there is one thing that does not match what we know, then you are at least a Ling Chi." The young man said coldly, and then pulled out the knife.
Chi——
Suddenly blood surged out like a fountain.
"Give him another life." He turned back, wiped the blade with a rag, threw it aside, and sheathed the black knife. Only then did Liang Yue see that this ruthless young man was actually quite handsome, with long eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes, and fair and thin cheeks.
If he hadn't just seen the scene of him torturing the prisoner, Liang Yue, the noble prince who said he was ignorant of the world, would have believed it.
The young man walked out of the cell door, saw Liang Yue, and said, "Master Liang from the East Palace?"
"I dare not call you master, he is just a new companion to the prince. Liang Yue said politely.
“My name is Cao Yi, you can also call me Cao Twenty-Qi, whatever you like.” The young man said casually, “The Tower of Babel case was organized by my adoptive father. You are trying to stop the case. I am a great hero and know more about this, so I asked you to participate. My adoptive father is very busy. I will contact you during this time, and I will report all the information you provide to my adoptive father."
"Excuse me." Liang Yue said again: "Um... Gou Daguan, doctor of the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, and Hu Lianshan, the chief officer, can these two people be here?"
"Gou Daguan should be on trial in the next room. As for Hu Lianshan..." Cao Yi pointed to the cell he came out of just now, "This is it."
"Ah..." Liang Yue looked at the man who was sitting there Rescued bloody man.
"What's wrong?" Cao Yi asked.
"It's nothing. Someone asked me to come and see their current situation." Liang Yue shook his head and said, "It won't affect the investigation."
One glance at him meant that Hu Peng and Gou were finished. If you entrust me with something, you can get an answer when you go back.
Brother, your dad is fine and has become more open-minded.
Would it be less cruel to say this?
"Don't worry, our Horse Drinking Prison is not as scary as the official reports." Cao Yi smiled softly, "Useful people will never die here."
Pause After a pause, he added in a low voice, "Although they themselves may think it is better to die."
Liang Yue responded with a polite smile.
Meeting this kind of person for the first time will indeed make you feel a little uncomfortable. But then we have to cooperate with him, and we can only try our best to get along with him.
"Let's go, let me treat you to lunch." Cao Yi suddenly said, "While there is a quota when handling the case, let's go out to eat something good and chat while eating."
I just saw that bloody mess, can I still have the appetite to eat?
Liang Yue felt strange, but he responded: "Then I would be disrespectful."
Cao Yi went to the horse prison and brought out a spirit horse. At the door, when I saw Liang Yue's snow-riding dragon pony, I couldn't help but admire: "What a horse."
"Dahei was a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince." Liang Yue said with a smile.
"It's called Dahei?" Cao Yi glanced at Liang Yue, "This name was chosen too carelessly."
"Haha..." Liang Yue laughed twice.
Xin said, how can your Cao Twenty-Seven be any better?
But he also knew that the other party should be Cao Wujiu's twenty-seventh name, and this name was just a number.
While riding side by side, Cao Yi asked again: "Do you have any ideas about this case?"
Liang Yue said: "I have recorded the cause and effect in the document, and the 'Xishan Meeting' mentioned in it "Do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Cao Yi shook his head.
"This organization should be quite powerful, and it also has influence in the court. Has Yin Ma Jian never come into contact with it?" Liang Yue was a little surprised.
Cao Yi pondered and said: "Maybe I don't have enough authority. I can't read all the files in Yinma Prison."
Liang Yue nodded.
Whether Hawkeye or Black Knife, in the final analysis, they are all office workers. It is impossible for such a person with great risks to have too many secrets.
Qin Youfang and Mrs. Zhang both mentioned this "Xishan Society", which should not be a lie. This huge force hidden in the dark must exist and affect many things.
If it can always exist and remain unknown, it can only be said that its strength is more terrifying than imagined.
However, it was enough for Liang Yue to inform the Yinma Prison. With the situation at this stage, he did not need to fight with any dark forces.
The mission he took this time was to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Industry.
He was thinking about how to lead the case to the Ministry of Works.
Cao Yi looked up and saw a rather impressive restaurant, and said, "This is the restaurant."
Liang Yue had no objection, so the two of them got off their horses and asked the waiter to tie up their horses. Let’s go into the restaurant together.
After sitting down, a waiter in the store brought two plates of small cold dishes, each placed them in front of them, and then asked: "Two guests, what would you like to eat?"
Liang Yue didn't say anything. After all, it was the other party who said he wanted to treat him first.
Although his family is not in difficulty now, there is no need to rush to pay the bill.
But Cao Yi looked at the few dishes on the table with a gloomy look on his face, "What is this?"
"This is a delicious pickle given by our store..." The waiter was a little confused. Strange, he quickly replied.
"I asked you what this is..." Cao Yi's eyes became more and more gloomy.
"This is this?" The waiter saw him staring at the pickles and replied tremblingly: "This is spicy cabbage. It is homemade in a small shop. The taste is absolutely incredible. If you don't like it, sir, just don't eat it. It's a small shop. There’s no charge.”
“This is pickled vegetables, right?” A dark shadow rose in Cao Yi’s eyes.
Liang Yue’s eyebrows jumped.
What a strong murderous aura!
It seems that I can’t see other people’s posts today, so I’ll just post them as usual, and they’ll all be displayed when things recover.
