Chen Shengyao was annoyed.
Where do you want me to find the truth?
If he had to say it, the truth was very simple. The butcher had eaten something unclean, and the worms had escaped.
It was so simple.
But he felt that things weren't so simple.
Last night, after those three men came to Chen Manor, there was a murder. It definitely had something to do with those three.
But those three weren't people to be offended. So what if he knew who it was?
He would tell them who did it. If they had the balls, then attack.
In the crowd, Yang Fei looked at the situation and retreated. She was searching for a chance to leave. She was even thinking about how to kill the three of them to end the danger.
However, she knew that it was tough.
Unless she had helpers.
At the scene.
Chen Shengyao told people to burn the corpses. With those bugs gathered together, it was just so disgusting.
The commoners lit the fire and didn't dare to get close. They only dared to toss the torches over from afar.
Zi Zi!
The flames burned brighter and brighter.
There was also that crunching sound.
What was more terrifying was that there was actually the smell of roasted bugs. It was a little perverted and disgusting.
Chen Manor.
"Young Master, what do you think the commoners treat us as?" Li Cong asked.
Jiang City had a prefect, but that prefect was just a figurehead.
Before Prince Xiao Qi left, he told the people to find Chen Family if they had any problems. Didn't that mean that Chen Family had to do things for the commoners?
If Old Master was still alive.
He would definitely spit out blood.
My Chen Family started off as bandits and killed many people. What bad things have we not done? Now you are actually helping commoners to do things. Where is the honor of my Chen Family?
"I treat it as doing things." Chen Shengyao said.
He treated it like it was free. Everything was given to him by the prince. He didn't feel anything, but now he noticed that there was a trap within.
Moreover, he was willing to jump into it.
It was true that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away.
The key was that it was hard to stop the commoners. It was easy to spread it out.
If the prince found out that not only did he not do things, but he was also going against him, that he would stop everything and stare at him. Would he be afraid?
Truth?
Where would he find the truth?
The next day.
Jiang City shook once more. Two more people died. They died in the same way as the pork seller.
The people of Jiang City fell into a state of panic again.
The gates of the Chen Manor were trampled on once again. Chen Shengyao was annoyed to the point that he couldn't sit still anymore.
Damn.
Why do you have to stare at me? I can't do anything about it.
However, the inexplicable deaths made Chen Shengyao panic.
At this rate, no one knew who would be the next to die.
Martial Path Mountain.
Lin Fan was lying on a deck chair worth tens of taels of silver, eating fruits and swinging his legs. He was carefree and happy.
His life was very leisurely.
In just a short while, Martial Path Mountain would be brand new and a huge change would occur.
"Sect Leader Lin." He was really happy and even tried to suck up to him.
Lin Fan glanced. The one who spoke was Li Cong. As for Chen Shengyao, he walked over slowly, looking a little unwilling.
Damn.
He actually came.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Martial Path Mountain. After all, they had conflicts.
However, Chen Shengyao was on the verge of a mental breakdown after the Insect-Killing Case that had happened in the past two days.
The people trusted him and surrounded the Chen Manor every day.
If his father wasn't dead and he let them surround him, they would definitely regret having one less leg.
Lin Fan didn't bother and just laid there leisurely. Gou 'zi waved his fan at the side.
Young Master was used to such a life.
Li Cong saw that Lin Fan didn't bother about him, so he stood beside Young Master. It was better for Young Master to speak.
Chen Shengyao took in a deep breath and said, "Sect Leader Lin, are you resting?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Lin Fan said.
Rage Points + 66.
Chen Shengyao squinted his eyes. Could he speak properly?
He was just concerned about whether or not he was resting. Why did he have to say that?
Why did he have to say that?
It was just too hurtful.
However, he had no choice. He was forced by the Jiang City people such that he didn't dare to head out. The moment he did, he would be surrounded by people asking about the truth of the bug killing case.
He wanted to holler.
He wasn't a detective; he was just a rich family Young Master.
Chen Shengyao calmed down the helplessness in his heart, "Sect Leader Lin, recently there has been a bug killing case. I hope that Sect Leader Lin can take a look and help solve it."
Lin Fan turned his head and said, "Are you representing the Jiang City people or just you?"
Chen Shengyao was stunned. Didn't that mean that it was the same for everyone?
"I represent the Jiang City people."
Not bad.
Lin Fan was interested. He didn't expect that before Martial Path Mountain opened, business would come so quickly.
"It seems like Young Master Chen is the representative of the Jiang City people and wants to hire Martial Path Mountain to protect Jiang City. How about 48 thousand silver a year?" Lin Fan said.
Chen Shengyao was stunned, "Sect Leader Lin, what is this money?"
Lin Fan said, "This is a protection fee. If Jiang City has problems that you can't solve, then we will. In the future, as long as Jiang City has problems, my Martial Path Mountain won't sit still and not do anything."
Damn!
That was just too much.
Four thousand silver a month.
He was robbing money.
"Sect Leader Lin, this has nothing to do with me. I am just representing the Jiang City people to find Martial Path Mountain for help." Chen Shengyao said.
Lin Fan smiled, "If it has nothing to do with you, then why did you come? It isn't that Martial Path Mountain doesn't want to help for free, but we have no choice. We have a huge business and many people in the future. Without income, what will Martial Path Mountain eat and drink? Am I right? "
"Moreover, is four thousand a month expensive? It isn't expensive at all. The people in the city are happy to take out one copper each, and that is enough. "
Zhang Tianshan made Martial Path Mountain bankrupt, and that was the outcome of not having any business.
He wouldn't follow in his footsteps.
"Sect Leader Lin, your Martial Path Mountain only has six people, so how will it not have enough to eat and wear?" Li Cong said.
He felt that Martial Path Mountain was really evil.
All they cared about was money.
"I am talking about the future. Young Master Chen, you should think about it. You can find me when you are done." Lin Fan said. He then closed his eyes and leisurely enjoyed life.
Chen Shengyao didn't leave.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he really couldn't.
As long as he returned, the people would surround him and ask him about this and that, making his head hurt.
In the end.
What did this have to do with him?
Actually, it had nothing to do with him at all.
"Sect Leader Lin, can you make it cheaper?" Chen Shengyao asked.
Four thousand a month was a little expensive.
If he had to pay, he would have to pay for it first. If he couldn't, then he would have to pay.
Before coming to Martial Path Mountain, he had thought about it. He had to pay something.
"Skills don't bargain. Moreover, it is tough for Martial Path Mountain to protect Jiang City. Sometimes when danger comes, Martial Path Mountain people have to charge up. They are all risking their lives. Or is Young Master Chen's life not worth forty-eight thousand a year?" Lin Fan was really calm.
Defending against the Yin Demons cost sixty thousand a year.
If they negotiated this Jiang City job, then Martial Path Mountain's net income would be 108,000 silver a year.
This was already a terrifying number.
Chen Shengyao felt really bitter.
Damn!
Your Royal Highness, you really screwed me over.
If you gave me some benefits, I would have some motivation. Now, I felt like I was trapped.
Gou 'zi listened on and realized that Young Master had a talent in business.
When he was in You City, he didn't see it. Who knew that after coming to Jiang City, Young Master's talent exploded out.
Fortunately, Zhang Tianshan wasn't here.
If he knew that protecting Jiang City required forty-eight thousand a year, he would have been terrified.
The price was too bold.
If he was the one asking for it, a few thousand a year would do.
Li Cong said softly, "Young Master, why not set up a Martial Path Mountain Protection Organization in Jiang City and split it among everyone. Actually, there isn't much. If we solve this matter quickly, then we can be at ease."
"Those three men are still in the city, so only Martial Path Mountain can solve it."
That was the truth.
Bugs killing people made one panic.
To Chen Shengyao and Li Cong, bugs killing people was still okay. The key was those three men. If they didn't agree with one word, they would pull out their blades and threaten them. That was the true danger.
Chen Shengyao thought about it for a long while, "Okay."
Lin Fan smiled, "Let's go, let's head to the city."
He brought his cousin over while the others stayed behind to defend Martial Path Mountain. Martial Path Mountain hadn't even opened, but they already had a long term income. This meant that Martial Path Mountain had a future.
Jiang City, commoner houses.
The commoners surrounded outside and no one dared to enter. It was so terrifying inside.
The moment Chen Shengyao arrived, he was surrounded by commoners. It was tough for him to kill a path out.
Could they let him settle the matter first? Now that they were all surrounding him, how was he supposed to deal with it?
"Sect Leader Lin, two people died today. This is one of them, the one who sold pork was burned." Chen Shengyao said.
"En." Lin Fan pushed the door and entered. The room was still lit up. There was a corpse on the bed, but it couldn't be called a corpse anymore as it was covered by black bugs.
Moreover, there were some bugs in the corners of the room.
Suddenly.
A small bug landed on his face, quickly entering his nostrils and entering his body.
Lin Fan didn't kill the bug, but he sensed the changes in his body. After the bug landed in his body, it started to lay eggs. It was really quick, unlike normal bugs.
"So that was the case."
He used internal strength to kill the bugs and eggs in his body.
Those people had bugs enter their bodies and large amounts of eggs were laid. When the eggs hatched, they directly broke out of their bodies.
Although he knew.
But it was far from enough.
Why would there be these bugs in a place like Jiang City?
He had to dig out the mastermind.
Silver wasn't so easy to earn. After taking it, he had to do work.
How tiring.
When he saw bugs, he thought about the Bug Controlling Technique. This cultivation technique was for playing with bugs.
Refresh.
He raised the Bug Controlling Technique to the Returning to True Realm.
Instantly.
He saw that there was a slight, or rather negligible, black aura on the bugs' bodies.
Of course.
This method of controlling bugs couldn't be compared to the Bug Controlling Technique; it was a really low method.
