Chapter 785: Abandoning the Darkness to the Brightness
/
The shadow mouse closed his eyes and twitched.
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "Since someone is willing to die generously, we don't have to force others to do anything." He stood up and waved his hand: "Send him to the Shenhou Mansion overnight, receive a bounty, and share it with everyone. Hehe, that bounty should allow everyone to live a good life for two years, and this is also thanks to this gentleman."
Several people next to him immediately dragged the net. Someone went over to open the door. Shadow Mouse immediately opened his eyes and shouted, "Let's wait!"
Qi Ning frowned and said, "You have something to say?"
"Who are you talking about the noble person you are talking about?" Shadow Mouse's eyes twitched: "Since the Shenhou Mansion knows this action, why bother to come to me? Just set up a trap and let us fall in there?"
"I tell you the truth, Shadow Mouse is active in the capital, and the Shenhou Mansion does know." Qi Ning said: "But who your target is still under investigation."
"Actually, I don't know much." Shadow Mouse sighed: "Even if I say what I know, you won't get anything."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "In this way, are you willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" He sat down on the chair and asked, "Can you tell the name first?"
Shadow Mouse hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Gray Crow."
"Gray Crow?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "This name is not bad. Brother Crow, how many shadow rats are there in this operation?"
Shadow Mouse shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But my grade is 13. If I am the last one in order, there will be at least thirteen people."
"Of course you won't be the last one." Qi Ning waved his hand, Bai Shenghao understood it, and made a gesture. Several disciples of the Beggars' Gang immediately retreated, guarding around the house, Bai Shenghao was about to leave, but Qi Ning asked him to stay. When the disciples of the Beggars' Gang went out, Qi Ning then signaled Bai Shenghao to unlock the big net.
The gray crow came out of the big net, a little annoyed. Seeing him looking at him coldly, Qi Ning smiled and said, "Brother Crow wants to do it?"
Gray Crow said, "Since I have spoken, there is no way out. But I am sincere in doing things for others, and I cannot regret what I have said." He was not polite, and walked to the table, sat down on the chair opposite Qi Ning, looked at Bai Shenghao, and asked, "Who are you?"
Bai Shenghao and Qi Ning looked at each other and said, "Bai Shenghao!"
"Bai Shenghao?" The gray crow thought for a moment before nodding, "You are the rudder leader of the Gui Jinyang branch." He glanced at Qi Ning and frowned and said, "Who are you who can you listen to your order?"
"You will know who I am sooner or later." Qi Ning said solemnly: "I ask you, who hired you to the capital?"
Gray Crow thought for a while and said, "He is not my employer at the moment. Only when he receives a deposit can he be considered my employer. Four days later, if he gets a deposit from him, he will be considered to have taken the business." He snorted coldly and said, "If you have already received the deposit and have done business, even if you are broken into pieces today, you can't let me reveal a word."
Qi Ning said seriously: "Brother Crow keeps his promise, which is admirable."
"Don't say this nonsense." said the gray crow, "Do you know the Black Lotus Holy Sect?"
When Qi Ning heard him suddenly mention the Black Lotus Saint Sect, he frowned and said, "Do you come to the capital to have something to do with the Black Lotus Saint Sect?" He thought to himself that after the eight gangs and sixteen sects attacked Chaowuling last time, the Black Lotus Saint Sect actually wanted to plan a conspiracy in the capital. If this is true, would he make a wrong judgment? The previous epidemic poison in the capital was also related to the Black Lotus Saint Sect?
"It's not related to the Black Lotus Holy Sect." Gray Crow said: "As far as I know, the last time the Eighth Gangs and Sixteen Sects attacked Chaowuling, Chaowuling was almost flattened. Later, there were rumors in the world that a traitor appeared in Chaowuling, so the Eighth Gangs and Sixteen Sects attacked in."
Qi Ning felt a stern heart, staring at the gray crow, and not speaking.
The gray crow lowered his voice and said, "This time I was the traitor from the Black Lotus Holy Sect. Duan Qingchen, the color envoy who was one of the four saints of the Black Lotus Sect, was originally the color envoy Duan Qingchen."
When Qi Ning heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice: "Is it him?"
Seeing that Qi Ning was so surprised, the gray crow was a little proud and said, "The people of the Black Lotus Sect chased Duan Qingchen's whereabouts everywhere, but this person disappeared from the world. When Duan Qingchen came to me, I was also very surprised."
Qi Ning thought about it and thought that since Duan Qingchen was involved, it must be not simple.
When he was in Chaowuling, he had already known that the black lotus color made Duan Qingchen betray the Black Lotus Sect, and this person was definitely related to Lu Shanghe. If this person summoned the shadow mouse to sneak into the capital, then Lu Shanghe might not have been involved.
Now the Black Lotus Sect is looking for Duan Qingchen's whereabouts, but the Beggars' Sect is looking for the whereabouts of Lu Shanghe. These two people are involved again. The Beggars' Sect is involved in this matter, which can be regarded as a coincidence.
"In this way, all the shadow mice coming to the capital were recruited by Duan Qingchen?" Qi Ning looked grim.
The gray crow shook his head and said, "I don't know if others are like this. Duan Qingchen came to me and asked me to find him in the capital on July 13th, and then rely on the brand!" At this point, he reached out and took out a very delicate piece of bamboo and handed it over. "With this as a token, I will be welcomed by someone at the entrance of Miaotang Lane at the 3rd hour of the night of July 13th."
"July thirteenth?"
"Not bad." said the gray crow, "You must wait on time, no one will answer you sooner or later. When you meet, you must take out the brand. The other party's code is holding a lantern in his hand, and there is a code on the lantern." He stretched out a finger and drew a symbol on the table, which was the earthworm-like pattern.
Qi Ning understood a little at this time and asked, "Duan Qingchen didn't tell you who the target is?"
"I asked, but he had no answer. He told me that as long as I took action, even if I could not get the head, I would have three thousand taels of silver. If I succeed, I would have a reward of twenty thousand taels of silver." said the gray crow, "I only paid the deposit after entering Beijing, and there was no other words."
Bai Shenghao said: "You are staying at Changqing Inn to get the connection at that time?"
The gray crow nodded and said, "No," and paused, and said, "Red Scorpion and the Three Wolves of Mangshan have traded near the capital. These two groups of people rarely take action at the same time. When I heard this news, I knew that they would definitely participate in this matter. As far as I know, it is already a handful of transactions in our industry that can receive 10,000 taels of silver. Even the leader of the 16th sect of the Eighth Gangs is only 10,000 taels of silver in our industry. This time the other party's head was worth 20,000 taels of silver, which must be a big deal."
Qi Ning knew that 10,000 taels of silver was indeed an astronomical figure for ordinary people, even for these shadow rats, it was an irresistible amount, and 20,000 taels of silver was enough to make any shadow rat go all out.
"When did Duan Qingchen find you?" Qi Ning pondered for a moment before asking: "The shadow mouse is scattered all over the place. It is not easy to find your traces."
The gray crow thought for a while and then said, "That was half a month ago. You said it's right. We are not connected in our own business, so it's really not easy to find one by one." He smiled faintly and said, "But there are shrimps, shrimps, crabs, and crabs. Those who are familiar with us will not be difficult to find us."
"Half a month ago?"
The gray crow nodded and said, "Remember right, it was indeed half a month ago. Duan Qingchen came to me. I thought he wanted me to assassinate the leader of the Black Lotus Sect. He betrayed the Black Lotus Sect and now he hides his head and tail. The one he fears the most is the leader of the Black Lotus Sect. However, the leader of the Black Lotus Sect is a great master. Even if he gives me 100,000 taels of silver, I will not seek death."
Qi Ning thought to himself that you were just a shadow mouse. Even if you are a martial arts master, Xiang Baiying and Master Kongzang, you would not dare to provoke the great master. He asked, "In other words, in four days, can you see Duan Qingchen again?"
The gray crow shook his head and said, "It's Duan Qingchen who came to the door, but I can't be sure if he is the one who is the one who is in contact with him." He asked back, "You seem to be very interested in this person?"
Qi Ning didn't say much, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it over. The gray crow reached out to take it, frowned and said, "What is this?"
"Saying the Famous." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Since you are willing to abandon the darkness and light, you should always prove your sincerity. There is a pill here. After you swallow it, you will be safe and sound within ten days, but if there is no antidote after ten days, you should know what the consequences will be."
The gray crow suddenly stood up and sneered, "I knew you would burn the bridge when you cross the river."
"You don't have to misunderstand." Qi Ning took a stack of silver notes from his arms and threw them over. "This is a thousand taels of silver. Although it is not much, it is at least enough for your expenses in the capital. If you do what I said, after this, I will not only give you two thousand taels, but also give you a promising errand."
The gray crow still looked cold, and Bai Shenghao said, "Actually, you have no choice. What you have to do now is to prove to us that you are indeed valuable. In fact, if a person is valuable and can be used by others, it is not a bad thing. Many incompetent people want to use it for others, but they are not qualified."
Qi Ning also smiled and said, "Gray Crow, you are a smart person and know in your heart that if we just let you leave like this, no one can guarantee that you will not betray us."
"My Grey Crow has always spoken like a mountain. Even if I die, I will not violate the promises." Grey Crow cuts the railway line.
Qi Ning stood up and said, "If this is the case, then you don't have to worry. Since you sincerely abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then you will never have any problems if you do as I say."
The gray crow knew that what Qi Ning said was true. In this case, for the sake of confidentiality, no one would take it lightly. It was impossible for him to leave calmly without any cost. He hesitated and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
