Chapter 118 - 118: 100, famous and hard to get by command
Tong Long's expression suddenly brightened as he said, "Is Old He suggesting we find Jinling Zhu Family to hire a killer to deal with that Fang Jinghong?"
He Wuyou nodded, Tong Long's words had clearly conveyed his intention...
The two most famous assassination organizations in Xingnan Prefecture were the Silver Blade Society in the Prefectural City and the Zhu Family of Jinling County, which was to the west of Tongling County. Prefectural City was too far from Tongling County.
Naturally, they would not seek far and wide while a closer option existed!
Without much thought, Tong Long directly said to He Wuyou, "Then let's trouble Old He to make a trip. With so much going on, I worry that it's not safe to send someone else. The Jinling Main House is elusive, and it's not easy to contact them."
A sinister gleam flashed in He Wuyou's eyes as he nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "Patriarch is too courteous. Serving the Escort Agency is no trouble at all!"
The so-called Jinling Zhu Family did not refer to any clan or power. In this world, there had never been an assassination organization that could establish a power base; after all, they were a group of people who recognized money, not faces. But of course, there was still a distinction in their reputations.
Both the Jinling Zhu Family and the Silver Blade Society had precedents of assassinating warriors in the Gang Qi Realm, with the Silver Blade Society even having assassinated a warrior in the Dan Embracing Phase. Therefore, the reputations of these two were considerable within Xingnan Prefecture.
Without hesitating for long, Tong Long took out a silver note of 150,000 taels from the Escort Agency's treasury and handed it directly to He Wuyou.
Seeing the silver note worth 150,000 taels, He Wuyou suddenly looked up, his face filled with shock, and said, "Is the patriarch issuing a Jinling Death Order?"
The Jinling Zhu Family undertook assassination tasks in two ways: one was to report the target's strength and let them set the price for a single assassination attempt. If it failed because the reported strength was incorrect, no refunds would be made. The other was the Jinling Kill-on-Sight Order, where again you reported the strength and they would set the price, but they would attempt the assassination three times.
Generally, this was very costly, but the success rate was also very high. This was also the biggest reason why the Jinling Zhu Family became renowned in Xingnan Prefecture.
In the martial world, there were unspoken rules about assassinations. Generally, a Coagulate Gang phase martial artist, without considering reputation, power, or other factors, would cost between thirty thousand to fifty thousand taels. Fang Jinghong's remarkable feat notwithstanding, he had never been heard of before, so the price could only be just over thirty thousand.
Offering 150,000 taels at once obviously meant issuing a Kill-on-Sight Order, which is why He Wuyou asked that question.
Although Tong Yun did not answer him, the furious blaze in his eyes said everything. It was clear that the death of his younger brother, Tong Long, made him utterly loathe that damned Third Dragon Head of the Qinglong Association!
......
For the entire day, not just Ling Cheng Escort Agency, but also the other six third-rate forces in the Prefectural City, were all frantically discussing the Third Dragon Head of the Qinglong Association.
In the second floor of Shengxin Residence, Ding Peng, Nie Xinchuan, Liu Jianghong, and Bai Yunfan once again gathered together, clinking cups and speaking amongst themselves, they also talked about the Qinglong Association.
Liu Jianghong's face was filled with unstoppable laughter as he said, "Tong Yun lost his head last night; he dragged his sect members and
Ding Peng observed the expressions of the three, musing silently, his mind teeming with thoughts...
