Chapter 147 - Another successful business deal

Chen Shengyao was annoyed.

Where did they want him to search for the truth from?

To him, the truth was really simple. This pig killer had eaten something dirty and bugs ran out.

It was so simple.

However, he knew that things weren’t that simple.

Last night, after those three men came to the Chen Manor, this death occurred. This definitely had something to do with the three of them.

But they were not people he could offend. So what if he knew who caused it?

He would tell them who it was and let them attack them if they have the courage to do so.

In the crowd, Yang Fei looked at the situation and backed off. She was searching for a chance to live. She was thinking about how to kill the three of them to remove the danger.

However, she knew that it was tough.

Unless she had a helper.

At the scene of the crime.

Chen Shengyao asked people to burn the corpses and the bugs as they looked really disgusting.

The commoners lighted the flames and didn’t dare to get close, only daring to toss the torches from far away.

Buzz buzz!

The flames burnt brighter and brighter.

Those crisp burning sounds spread over.

What was more terrifying was that there was the scent of cooked bugs, it was disgusting and a little perverted.

Chen Manor.

“Young Master, what do the commoners even treat us as?” Li Cong asked.

Jiang City had a Prefect but he was powerless.

Before Prince Xiao Qi left he told the people to find Chen Family if they had problems. Did that mean that Chen Family had to solve all their matters?

If Old Master was alive.

He would definitely cough out blood.

My Chen Family started off as a bandit family, killing many and doing all bad things. Now you kid actually help the people do things, where has our prestige went?

“Treat it as we are doing a task.” Chen Shengyao said.

Just treat it as something free, that he was helping the Prince. Only now did he feel like there was a hole in all of this.

He had willingly jumped into it.

It was right when they said that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away.

But the key was that it was tough to shut the people up, they could easily spread things out.

If the Prince found out that not only didn’t he do anything and even went against his words, that he would come over and stare at him such that he listened, would you be afraid?

Truth?

Where could he go to search for the truth?

Next day.

Jiang City was in a buzz once more as two more died. They died the same way that the pork seller did.

The Jiang City commoners were in a panic once more.

Chen Manor gate was broken into once more. Chen Shengyao was caught off guard and felt really restless.

Damn.

Why did they target me, there was nothing I could do.

However, these random deaths made Chen Shengyao panic.

If they continued to die like that, who would be the next one?

Martial Path Mountain.

Lin Fan laid in a chair worth dozens of silver as he ate fruits. He shook his leg casually, life was great.

His life was fantastic.

Not long later, Martial Path Mountain would be new and there would be a huge change.

“Sect Leader Lin.” He was delighted, there were even people sucking up to him.

Lin Fan glanced, the one who spoke was Li Cong. Chen Shengyao walked over slowly like he was a little unwilling.

Damn.

They actually came.

He didn’t want to have any interaction with Martial Path Mountain, after all, they had conflicts with one another.

But the bug-killing case nearly caused Chen Shengyao to collapse.

The commoners trusted him and surrounded outside Chen Manor.

If his father didn’t die, let them try, he would be sure that they would regret they didn’t have one more leg.

Lin Fan didn’t bother, just laying there leisurely. Gou’zi slowly waved the fan beside him.

Young Master was used to such a life.

When Li Cong saw that Lin Fan didn’t bother with him, he stood beside Young Master Chen. It was best if he was the one who spoke.

Chen Shengyao took in a deep breath and said, “Sect Leader Lin are you resting?”

“Isn’t that nonsense?” Lin Fan said.

Rage Points +66.

Chen Shengyao squinted, couldn’t he speak nicely.

He asked with some care if he was resting or not, couldn’t he just give an answer?

Why did he have to reply like that?

How hurtful.

But he had no choice. He was forced by the people so that he didn’t dare to head out. The moment he headed out he was surrounded by people asking about the truth of the bug killings.

He wanted to scream.

He wasn’t a good detective, he was just a rich family Young Master.

Chen Shengyao calmed himself down, “Sect Leader Lin, recently there have been murders in Jiang City, bug killings. I hope that Sect Leader Lin can take a look and help to solve it.”

Lin Fan turned his head and asked, “Are you representing the people or yourself?”

Chen Shengyao was stunned, wasn’t it all the same?

“I represent the people.”

That was right.

Lin Fan was interested, he didn’t expect that before Martial Path Mountain even opened, that he would have so many businesses.

“It seemed like Young Master Chen represents the people to hire me to protect Jiang City. How about that, 48 thousand silver a year?” Lin Fan said.

Chen Shengyao was stunned, “Sect Leader Lin, what money?”

Lin Fan said, “Protection fee. If something happens in Jiang City that you can’t solve, we will solve it. If there are problems within Jiang City, Martial Path Mountain wouldn’t sit and not do anything.”

!!

How dark.

Four thousand a month.

Was he taking the money?

“Sect Leader Lin, this doesn’t have anything to do with me, I just represent the people to search for the Sect Leader to 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 are huge and will have many people in the future. If we have no income, what will we eat or drink, isn’t that right?”

“Moreover is four thousand a month expensive? Not at all. Each person in the city taking a copper out, that was far from enough.”

Zhang Tianshan made Martial Path Mountain bankrupt as they had no income.

He wouldn’t do the same.

“Sect Leader Lin, your Martial Path Mountain only has six people, how would you not have enough to eat or drink?”

He felt that the men Martial Path Mountain were conmen.

They thought too much about money.

“I am talking about the future, Young Master Chen, think about it, once you have thought about it then find me.” Lin Fan closed his eyes gleefully.

Chen Shengyao didn’t leave.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave but he couldn’t.

If he did, the people would surround him and ask about many things, so many that his head would hurt.

In the end.

What did this have to do with him?

It had nothing to do with him at all.

“Sect Leader Lin, could it be cheaper?” Chen Shengyao asked.

Four thousand silver was a little expensive.

If he had to take out money, he would be the one who paid first. He would first try to bargain and if he failed then he would pay up.

Before coming to Martial Path Mountain he knew he had to pay something.

“There is no bargaining for skill-based jobs. To protect Jiang City is really tiring. When danger comes we will have to risk our lives to charge over. Or is Young Master Chen’s life not worth 48 thousand silver?” Lin Fan said calmly.

He collected sixty thousand to defend against Yin Demons for a year.

If he managed to succeed in this Jiang City protecting business, then he would earn 108 thousand silver in a year.

That was a scary amount.

Chen Shengyao felt a little bitter.

Damn!

Your Royal Highness you really caused me so many problems.

If you had given me some benefit I’d be motivated, but now it just felt like I was conned.

Gou’zi listened on and noticed that Young Master had a business talent.

He didn’t see it when they were in You City. Who knew that after they came to Jiang City, Young Master’s talents totally exploded out.

Luckily Zhang Tianshan wasn’t here.

If he knew that if he collected forty eight thousand a year to protect Jiang City, he would be terrified.

Such a high price.

If he was the one, he would have accepted a few thousand.

Li Cong said softly, “Young Master why don’t we establish a Martial Path Mountain Protection Organisation? Each person will split the costs equally, that would make it less difficult. Only by solving this matter can we be at ease.”

“Those three people are still in the city and probably only Martial Path Mountain can solve it.”

That was the truth.

The bug killings made one terrified.

To Chen Shengyao and Li Cong, the bug killings were okay. The key was those three who threatened him right away. They were the ones that were most dangerous.

Chen Shengyao was in deep thought, “Okay.”

Lin Fan smiled, “Let’s go, to the city.”

He brought his cousin over, the rest remained on Martial Path Mountain. Since the deal was done and Martial Path Mountain hadn’t opened, this meant that Martial Path Mountain had development potential.

Jiang City, commoner’s house.

The commoners surrounded outside and didn’t dare to enter. They were all too scared.

Chen Shengyao was surrounded the moment he arrived. He opened a path through the crowd with great difficulty.

Couldn’t they surround him after he finished? to surround him now, how was he going to deal with it?

“Sect Leader Lin, two more died today, this is one of them. Yesterday was the pork seller who was burnt already.” Chen Shengyao said.

“En.” Lin Fan pushed the door open. The room was bright and on the bed was a corpse. It couldn’t even be considered a corpse as it was covered by black bugs.

Each corner of the house was littered with corpses.

Suddenly.

A bug landed on his face and entered through nose into his body.

Lin Fan didn’t kill it, feeling its movements. After it entered, he felt it lay eggs. It happened so quick, it was not like a normal bug.

“Huh, I see”

He used internal strength to kill the bug and the eggs.

The bugs had entered their bodies, produced eggs and once the eggs hatched, they broke out of the body.

Although he knew that, it was far from enough.

How could there be such bugs here?

He had to draw out the mastermind.

Silver wasn’t easily earnt, he had to do some work.

How tiring.

Looking at it, he thought about the Bug Controlling Technique, this technique allowed one to play with bugs.

Refresh.

He rose Bug Controlling Technique to the Returning to True Realm.

Instantly.

He saw very thin black auras on the bodies of the bugs.

Of course.

This bug controlling technique couldn’t compare to that of the Bug Controlling Technique, it was a very lowly technique.
