A bet on a four-nation exchange competition directly changed the lives of many people.

Even the fate of many people has become completely different.

There are great cultivators, and there are also ordinary people who rise to great heights.

From the top to the bottom, personnel turmoil, economic turmoil, military turmoil, and many other changes are taking place.

There are bright places and there are dark places.

In mid-October, Xu Zhi appeared in Yunling City.

This is the capital of Southern Yunnan Province and the city where Xu Zhi’s alma mater, Yunling University, is located.

At this time, he was standing in front of a small independent villa.

The door of the villa was closed, and only a gardener was outside mowing the lawn.

He glanced at Xu Zhi in surprise, and when he saw Xu Zhi ignoring the gate and the wall and gently climbing over the wall, he couldn't help but drink.

"This guest, our master has not returned from the trip. If you need to visit, please make an appointment in advance."

If Xu Zhi hadn't been dressed formally, had an extraordinary demeanor, and looked like a young man from some family who had nothing to do and climbed into the wall, he would have almost yelled, "There's a thief."

"You invite me in, or I invite you out."

Xu Zhi opened his mouth and spoke, his voice soft but extremely penetrating, and could be heard clearly from far and near.

"Hey, come in."

A helpless voice sounded.

The villa door was finally opened.

The gardener looked at the familiar courtyard with a puzzled look on his face, and scanned the address back and forth several times before confirming that he was not working in the wrong place.

But it seems that the owner of this villa has changed.

"Mr. Xu."

When Xu Zhi stepped into the villa, he saw a woman in front of him stood up and gave him a slight salute.

"Princess Jingzhao."

Xu Zhi also raised his hand in return.

If it were the previous Inspection Department Headquarters, in front of the princess and the prince, he could only ask for a meeting. Whether to meet or not would depend on the other person's mood.

However, after the status of the general government was elevated, this authority was equal to that of the Grand Master and His Majesty.

No matter how unhappy Song Jingzhao was, he still wanted to be polite.

What's more, this person's visit made Song Jingzhao feel a little helpless and a little uneasy.

She wanders around all the year round, rarely in Kyoto, and only now does she take a serious look at the headquarters of the Inspection Department, which is in full swing.

The other party is not very old, with red lips and white teeth.

Although there is no hair on his head, this does not affect Xu Zhi's image.

Perhaps because he advanced to Grandmaster too early, Xu Zhi, who is nearly thirty years old, looks like a teenager.

Even though she had seen many heroes, she couldn't help but praise him in her heart.

She had some understanding of why the eldest princess of Northern Xinjiang, Wuya Yefulin, was so in love with Xu Zhi.

Not to mention the emotional factors, this is indeed a rare hero.

He has appearance and strength.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Zhi will definitely stay in charge of Dongyue for a long time.

Given the opponent's age and explosive cultivation potential, he may even become a great master in the future.

"I don't know what's important to you. My father once told me that once you come here, I need to fully cooperate with you."

Song Jingzhao spoke in a low voice.

While Song Jingzhao was looking at her, Xu Zhi was also looking at the princess.

In the name of the black market, Song Jingzhao controlled too many dark things and was called the queen of the underground.

Although Song Jingzhao is nearly seventy years old, the master's cultivation makes her look like an ordinary person in her thirties, and she still looks very young.

She has a dignified appearance, but there is a decisive look in her eyebrows, with a hint of gloom.

This is when the weak have to become strong.

Due to her long-term depressed personality, the princess may have some physical problems.

If they could rule properly, the Song royal family would probably not engage in such activities, nor would they send Song Jingzhao to engage in such activities for a long time.

Unable to obtain much supplies from the national treasury for a long time, the Song family could only find another way to make a living for themselves.

In addition to satisfying itself, this is an existence that competes for territory in the dark.

Whenever there is light, there must be darkness.

There are more or less such individuals and organizations in various provinces in Dongyue.

Even the forces of the black market are secretly fighting with the Kujiao, grabbing each other's share.

To some extent, the power of the black market has inhibited the development of Kujiao.

The underground black market has merits and demerits, and it is an organization with a mix of good and bad.

It is quite difficult to do bad things to such an extent.

Song Jingzhao had obviously been warned by Song Zhongkai, and his attitude seemed straight to the point, and Xu Zhi did not drag his feet.

"I'm here for three things."

Xu Zhi stretched out his finger and said in a deep voice: "I need your various dark records over the years to see how many activities there are under the darkness, so that I can judge some people."

The first thing Xu Zhi did was to find out who she was, the queen of the black market.

As long as these records are handed over, the Song family will almost fall into the mud.

It was unclear who Xu Zhi wanted to identify, but the Song family was very easy to judge.

It would be difficult for Xu Zhi to review these materials by himself, so he would definitely need help.

The more people know about it, the harder it will be for things to end.

Just the first thing put Song Jingzhao into trouble.

It was quite a difficult time today.

"You indicate the name of the person, and I will retrieve the corresponding information for you. Is this feasible?" Song Jingzhao asked.

"Dongyue is breaking down its monopoly, trade is becoming more and more transparent, and everything will go back to normal." Xu Zhi raised his head and said, "The Song family will not need to rely on the black market in the future, and Dongyue will no longer need the black market."

After listening to Xu Zhi's words, Song Jingzhao finally understood what Xu Zhi meant at this time.

This is not only asking for information, but also directly asking for her background.

If anyone else dared to speak like this, Song Jingzhao would ask the masters hidden on both sides to cut off the other person's tongue to make him know what he should not say nonsense.

But when facing Xu Zhi, she lost her confidence.

Being able to find her accurately, Xu Zhi must have mastered many secrets of the black market.

This may even be information revealed by Song Zhongkai or a certain great master.

She is a royal daughter, but what she does is shameful.

Xu Zhi now has the ability to investigate her directly to the end and turn everything upside down.

Just like Xu Zhi said when he first came here, "You invite me in, or I invite you out" there is no difference. If you don't take the initiative to hand over this information, the other party will take the initiative to get it.

"You should live under the light," Xu Zhi said, "Contribute to Dongyue in an open and honest manner."

Xu Zhi's words touched Song Jingzhao's heart slightly.

She then smiled bitterly and said: "I have controlled the black market for many years, and my character has been shaped. I am weird, unruly, and domineering. To live in the light, I need to stay in the deep palace of Kyoto. Maybe it is better to play some role in the darkness."

"You don't need to blame yourself too much."

Of course Xu Zhi knew the details of Song Jingzhao.

The black market is not that easy to open.

Song Jingzhao's hands were covered with blood.

This even includes some members of the Inspection Department investigating the black market.

It has been more than 40 years since Zhao Mu took office as the General Office of the Inspection Department, and Song Jingzhao has also been entangled with him for more than 40 years.

The situation here is difficult to describe in a few words.

"If you are willing, there will be a place for you in the Inspection Department. Our Inspection Department needs talents like you."

"Inspection Department?"

Song Jingzhao's eyes widened.
