Chapter 170 Canary
Avoiding the guards' sight, Chen Changfan directly used the ladder and silently jumped into the high wall.
As soon as he landed, he heard footsteps approaching. He quickly hid behind a rockery, and the patrolling guards did not notice anything unusual.
The houses are made of blue bricks and black tiles, and the eaves are almost connected into one piece.
For a moment, he couldn't count how many houses there were in the mansion, nor where Shang Zhengren was.
"With such a large mansion, Shang Zhengren can indeed be called a wealthy man."
He monopolized the industrial resources of a county, and even the county magistrate was his puppet.
Shang Zhengren doesn't need to buy an official position at all, because all officials have to listen to him.
For such a wealthy man, the money in his hands is definitely not clean. Today, Chen Changfan will follow the principle of robbing the rich to help the poor and take a good look at the wealth of this wealthy man.
Since he was here, he felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't take something away.
Squeak!
The little lizard suddenly let out a low cry, as if it had detected the presence of the fugitive.
Immediately, it jumped directly from Chen Changfan's shoulder and ran in one direction.
Chen Changfan looked around vigilantly and followed carefully.
For some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be a powerful aura in this house, and even he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
When approaching a house, Chen Changfan suddenly felt a palpitation. He picked up the little lizard and stepped onto the roof with a few steps.
The next moment, a thin man passed by. He looked around and muttered in confusion,
"That's weird. I clearly sensed someone here just now. Was it an illusion?"
The thin man took another look around, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he returned to the front door of the house and kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.
"We were almost discovered. This guard is quite powerful. Perhaps he is Shang Zhengren's personal bodyguard."
Chen Changfan even vaguely guessed that this guard might be a warrior who had reached the next level.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have noticed the subtle movement he just made.
Walking on the roof as low as possible, Chen Changfan carefully moved a tile away and looked into the house through the narrow gap.
……
In the study room.
"Brother Shang, you were the one who placed me in the caravan. Now that the caravan is gone, you must take me in."
The fugitive Lao Bai looked at Shang Zhengren with a wry smile on his face, and kept talking about how the caravan was destroyed.
Shang Zhengren, who was sitting at the desk, seemed to be listening absent-mindedly. He was holding a brush and teasing the bird in the cage with great interest.
It seemed that the destruction of the caravan was just a trivial matter to him.
"The caravan should be destroyed!"
Shang Zhengren suddenly said something that scared Lao Bai. In his impression, this big brother always regarded bandits as partners.
On weekdays, the caravans often cooperated with bandits to stage a drama in which the caravan was robbed halfway and the price of rice had to rise as a result. He himself knew that this drama had been staged no less than four or five times.
But now that I heard that the caravan was destroyed, why does Brother Shang still say that they deserved it?
"Who told you to rob that Western merchant's caravan? If you hadn't done that, I don't think that Chen would have come after you."
Shang Zhengren felt angry whenever he thought of this.
A few days ago, he ordered a bag of high-quality corn seeds from a Western merchant, but who knew that the Western merchant was robbed by a caravan on the way.
This is not a big deal. With Lao Bai in the caravan, he can still find a way to get this bag of precious seeds out.
But some lousy Tongzi Gang showed up unexpectedly and stole the carriage loaded with fine horses, which almost made Shang Zhengren angry to death.
"Brother, are you saying that this disaster was caused by that truck of grain?" Lao Bai was still a little bit unbelievable.
"That's not ordinary food. I spent a lot of money on it... Forget it, I can't explain it to you. You just said how your gang leader died? I remember he was a warrior who reached the highest level." Shang Zhengren was a little unbelievable.
Lao Bai smiled bitterly, "According to the two leaders, Gang Leader Ma was killed by Chen Changfan.
We couldn't believe it at the time.
But later when Chen Changfan led his army to attack the stronghold, I knew that they would be defeated as soon as I saw the situation, so I chose to flee immediately.
If you were even a little slower, you wouldn't be able to see me today."
"Chen Changfan? The fisherman?" Shang Zhengren stopped what he was doing and looked at Lao Bai in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true! The two heads saw it with their own eyes. It was Chen Changfan who killed the leader of the Ma Gang. Perhaps he already has the strength to ascend the ladder."
Shang Zhengren's expression finally became serious.
At first, he thought that Chen Changfan was just good at fishing and hunting, but was also extremely disobedient and repeatedly blocked his way to wealth.
He didn't want to reveal that he had a warrior who had reached the next level, so he thought of using the bandits to get rid of him.
But who would have known that today, this boy has grown to such an extent that not only did he not die at the hands of the bandits, he even destroyed the horse caravan of one of the eighteen major mountain strongholds.
Such an enemy has begun to pose a threat to himself.
"You ran all the way to me. Was there anyone chasing you?" Shang Zhengren asked.
"The anti-bandit army tried to hunt me down, but I managed to shake them off. No one knew I came to you." Lao Bai said with some pride.
"That's good. Now that Chen Changfan has become such a big deal, it seems like we have to get rid of him. He's just a fishmonger, and he still wants to..."
As Shang Zhengren was speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
He touched it subconsciously and found it was a small fish hook.
Before he could react, the fishhook suddenly moved, cutting a big gash in Shang Zhengren's thick neck.
Before he could finish his words, he died, his fat body falling directly onto the table.
Spring and Autumn Fishing Method!
Killing silently and invisible!
Chen Changfan on the roof shook his wrist again, and the fishhook broke away from Shang Zhengren's body, swung in the air, and was thrown towards Lao Bai not far away.
"Brother Shang, are you...are you sleepy?"
Lao Bai didn't see clearly what happened. He only saw Shang Zhengren suddenly lying on the table. While he was hesitating, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very thin silk thread that seemed to be hanging from the beam.
"This room looks quite clean, but I didn't expect there would be spider silk..."
The last thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, Bai Lao's neck was cut open by the fishhook, and he was killed instantly.
"Successful!"
On the roof, a glint of joy flashed in Chen Changfan's eyes as he controlled the fishhook to move away from Lao Bai's body.
Logically speaking, from his distance and angle, it is impossible for him to kill two people silently and invisibly.
Fortunately, he had a good habit, which was to carry fishing line and hook with him. He used the Spring and Autumn fishing technique to hook and kill the two men, while the warrior who had climbed the stairs outside the door seemed to be completely unaware.
Just as he was about to reel in the line and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the canary in the cage out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up.
"Golden Canary! Legend has it that this bird feeds on gold and silver, making it extremely difficult to keep alive. However, it possesses a spiritual aura, and eating its meat can transform one completely. It is known as the 'Living Spirit Pearl'."
