Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 74: Black Tiger Is Brought Out

"Sir, there is a note attached to the arrow!"

Jiang Feng’s arrow alarmed the Liu Mansion.

A guard pulled the arrow from the wooden post and handed it to Liu Yunshan.

Liu Yunshan felt strange, someone was transmitting a message via arrow in the middle of the night, what was the purpose?

He took the note off the arrow.

Opened it.

The content was not much.

The handwriting was crooked.

Unsure if it was deliberate.

Or perhaps the person was just not skilled in using a brush to write.

The content was very simple.

Liu Yunshan glanced over it and remembered it completely.

He frowned, anger flickering in his eyes.

"Did you see clearly who it was?"

"No, sir, I’ve already sent people to search for them."

The subordinate replied.

"Call everyone back!"

Liu Yunshan knew, the person came prepared, and they couldn’t be caught.

He looked at the note again, holding a skeptical attitude towards its content, he didn’t even believe it at all, after all, the people arranged by the Second Prince were ones he trusted completely.

How could they suddenly betray him?

So he wanted to crumple the note and throw it into the trash bin.

But, he seemed to realize something.

He stopped himself.

Instead, he said to the subordinate, "Call the steward over." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Sir, you called for me."

In a short while, the already alerted steward came running over.

"I want you to take a trip and personally deliver this note to Young Master Long."

"Alright, I’ll go right away."

The steward carefully kept the note and, with some men, left the Minister’s Mansion, quickly disappearing from Liu Yunshan’s sight.

Liu Yunshan pondered for a moment and continued to read in his study.

Regarding the content of the note, although he remained skeptical and thought it was absurd, considering his career and safety, he couldn’t act recklessly.

It’s best to show the note to the Second Prince.

The people were arranged by the Second Prince; whether there’s any problem, the Second Prince knows best.

If there’s no problem, then nothing happened.

If there’s a problem, the Second Prince will naturally help him handle it.

Liu Yunshan understood it clearly, so he wasn’t worried at all.

The steward was fast, and the Minister’s Mansion was close to the Imperial City.

In less than an hour.

The note was in the Second Prince’s hand.

"The handwriting is so ugly, I’ve never seen such ugly handwriting."

The Second Prince looked at the handwriting on the note and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Uncle Four, you take a look too, how can there be such ugly handwriting in this world?"

The Second Prince handed the note to the only old servant in the courtyard.

"Haha, indeed outrageously ugly, chaotic, yet readable, not sure if they naturally write such ugly handwriting or if it’s deliberate."

The old servant laughed as well, speaking meaningfully.

It seemed both he and the Second Prince were only focused on the handwriting’s appearance, paying no attention to the content.

"Young Master, this ugly handwriting, you should burn it, lest it offends your eyes."

The old servant suggested.

"No, I want to keep it, treasure it well, I have a feeling, the owner of this handwriting, just borrowed Liu Yunshan’s hand to find me, I believe I will meet him someday."

The Second Prince smiled.

The old servant nodded slightly.

"Uncle Four, I also have two notes here that I need you to deliver to two places."

The Second Prince continued.

The old servant nodded.

The Second Prince then picked up a brush and on the first note wrote five characters.

"Interrogate Wu Tieshan!"

On the second note, he wrote one character.

"Kill!"

The old servant silently dried the ink on the two notes, then rolled them up and subsequently disappeared from the Second Prince’s courtyard.

After the old servant left.

The Second Prince’s previously calm demeanor gradually turned somber.

Whether it’s Ning Hongzhuo or Wu Tieshan, both were personally nurtured by him, he trusts them immensely and does not believe they would betray him.

Like Liu Yunshan, he thinks it is nonsense.

However, given his current situation, the Second Prince dares not gamble.

Even with only a one in ten thousand chance, the Second Prince must extinguish the spark.

He can’t ascertain whether someone is using him.

Or if Wu Tieshan truly holds some trump card.

In any case, since Wu Tieshan has to die, then let him die, anyway what he needs to do is simply accelerate the process.

As for the consequences of Wu Tieshan’s death, although the Second Prince cannot assert, he is confident that if indeed Wu Tieshan holds incriminating evidence against him, he can still handle it, albeit at some cost.

...

Confirming no one followed.

Jiang Feng returned to Chaoyang Alley.

He couldn’t be sure whether the note would be effective, but at this point, he could only wait and see.

Of course, for safety’s sake.

Jiang Feng began flipping through a book purchased from the Black Market on poison secret techniques.

If the note proves ineffective.

Jiang Feng could only take risks.

Even if facing punishment from the Court, he would still try to kill Wu Tieshan or that Black Tiger in prison.

He believes poison is most effective.

If he could, like Cao Zhengyang, kill Prison Chief Sun silently and unnoticed, it would be perfect.

Unfortunately, the so-called poison secret techniques were just one of three books purchased from the bookstore owner with a couple of silver, in his search for "Five Poison Grass."

Although Jiang Feng was an outsider, he found many of the poison techniques recorded inside utterly ridiculous.

Finally finding a few useful methods, Jiang Feng realized they wouldn’t kill Wu Tieshan or Black Tiger, even those few effective methods couldn’t be applied silently.

Weighing his options, Jiang Feng thought perhaps poison needles would be most effective.

The next day.

Jiang Feng was restless.

Came to Zhenbei Prison again.

"Roar!"

Upon reaching the third level, before entering for a patrol, Jiang Feng heard the roar of the Black Tiger.

Jiang Feng’s expression changed.

Yesterday, he had just put the Black Tiger into the innermost cell of the third level.

Logically, even if one could hear the Black Tiger’s cries here, they shouldn’t be so deafening, this meant somebody brought the Black Tiger out from the deepest cell.

Unsure of what exchanges occurred between Black Tiger and Wu Tieshan last night.

Whether Wu Tieshan already knew he had killed Cao Zhengyang and taken the Second Prince’s ledger.

Possibly even relayed the information to the Second Prince?

"Prison Chief Jiang, what’s the matter with you?"

Chief Wang saw Jiang Feng standing at the third level’s doorway, seemingly lost in thought, not stepping over the threshold to enter.

"Wasn’t that Black Tiger locked in the innermost cell? Why has it been brought out?"

Jiang Feng asked.

If the Second Prince already knows the real culprit is him, then he couldn’t stay in Zhenbei Prison any longer and had to leave immediately.

"Oh, last night Dali Temple’s people came over to interrogate the criminals involved in the private bank setup.

There was also an intention to bring that beast along.

Who would have thought.

The few major offenders, en route to Dali Temple, were shot dead by arrows, so this Black Tiger remained behind."

Chief Wang explained.
