Chapter 656

Finding people, the Six Shanmen are professionals.

With specific targets and a general direction, there was no need for the regular army to take action. Boss Meng directly mobilized his informants, that is, the bunch of people from all walks of life, and found the people in just a few days.

A clever rabbit has three burrows!

These water bandits were also professional thieves among the government's thief-catchers; not only did they have three burrows, but their hiding spots were all near water, making it convenient for them to escape as soon as they stood up, playing to their strengths. They had even set up several sentries.

If it were the Six Shanmen coming to arrest them, they would likely have let half of them escape.

After Chen Guanlou learned the news, he asked, "Are all the water bandits there? So righteous?"

Boss Meng whispered: "I suspect they are planning to break out of prison!" Otherwise, just for collecting bodies, it would be impossible to send so many people to sneak into the capital. They must be planning a major move.

Besides breaking out of prison, the only thing left is to raid the execution ground.

Clearly, given the defense strength of the Heavenly Prison, breaking out of prison is safer and more reliable. Compared to raiding the execution ground, the difficulty drops sharply.

It has long been rumored in the martial world that the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison are all for show. When breaking out of prison, not a single guard is willing to step forward, and not even one is willing to trade a few blows with real knives and guns.

In the past, there were indeed guards who would rush up to trade a few blows, because back then the superiors would hold them accountable, and one might accidentally lose their head.

Ever since Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen arrived, breaking out of prison is implicitly not held accountable, and the guards aren't even willing to trade a few blows in a fake manner; they are lazy!

You say the Heavenly Prison has a Ninth Rank Jiang Jiang Yucheng!

Haha!

When someone breaks out of prison, this Ninth Rank Jiang Jiang Yucheng is the one who hides the fastest.

The only time Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen was willing to take action when someone broke out of prison was for the Great Ming Prince. That wasn't breaking out of prison; that was murder! If it weren't for protecting his work results, and if it weren't for witnessing the Heaven-Offering Ceremony, that night, the thief surnamed Chen might not have been willing to take action.

Very true!

These death jokes are all circulating in the martial world. No one dares to run up to Chen Guanlou and say these things.

So Chen Guanlou doesn't know; he is not in the martial world, but his legends are everywhere in the martial world.

"Breaking out of prison is good! I like brothers who break out of prison the most!" Chen Guanlou made a joke that others couldn't laugh at, and taking advantage of the early hour, he set off.

Boss Meng had long since arranged for someone to show the way.

He himself didn't show up, to avoid suspicion!

It's a basic operation for the Six Shanmen agents to know how to avoid risks; they can't let people catch hold of their handles, so as to avoid getting into a slanging match.

Can mere water bandits detect the arrival of a Ninth Rank martial artist?

They didn't even know they were dead, let alone how they died.

Silently, without feeling anything, the sentries' corpses were already hanging on the tree branches.

Inside the house, a group of water bandits were drinking and chatting, and just as they were getting high, they all slumped onto the table, with the smiles they had before death still lingering on their faces.

When the coroner comes to investigate, they might not even be able to find the cause of death, unless they perform an autopsy!

Chen Guanlou, like a ghost, walked through the three burrows and resolved the water bandits silently. Not a single one slipped through the net!

The water bandits died without knowing how they died. In the face of absolute power, all calculations are futile!

He flicked his sleeves, boarded the boat, and spent the night drinking and being carefree on the boat, basking in the moonlight.

Boss Meng was drinking gloomy wine in anxiety, his expression changing unpredictably, when he suddenly received the news that they were all dead.

"Really all dead?" He looked at the hourglass; how much time had passed! From departure to finish, not even half an hour, and they were all dead. That was twenty or thirty people! Even if he killed them one by one, it would take some time and effort.

His confidant nodded heavily, "They died silently, and not a trace can be seen. How they died, I am also very confused. If we encountered a similar case, we would probably be completely baffled. Boss, how should we handle this next? Just leave the corpses there?"

"You still need me to teach you this kind of thing. Handle the corpses quietly. Wait, I'll go with you to take a look; it's really that mysterious!"

Boss Meng rushed to the crime scene, and seeing the expressions lingering on the faces of the dead water bandits, he shivered subconsciously.

The deceased had smiles lingering on their faces, and it wasn't just one, but a whole group; that scene, even for the agents of the Six Shanmen, felt creepy.

He whispered, "You didn't see how he took action?"

"We didn't even know when he took action, we didn't know when the person came, and we didn't know when he left. We didn't hear any movement in the room for a long time, and when we ran over to look, we found that everyone was dead, not a single survivor. If we hadn't known beforehand that someone was coming to clean up these water bandits, who would have thought that these people would die so carelessly and simply."

When Boss Meng heard this, cold sweat broke out. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat with his sleeve.

He thought that when a Ninth Rank martial artist took action to kill, there would be some commotion to let the world know how powerful he was. Anyway, the high-rank martial artists he had come into contact with were all like this, liking to do things in a grand manner.

It was the first time he had seen what a ghost was, what it meant to die silently, and what it meant to kill across the field without leaving a trace.

A sense of fear and awe arose in his heart for no reason.

He made up his mind that he must never offend Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen in the future, and he would cooperate as much as possible when there were matters. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

These water bandits certainly didn't know how they died either; they might not even have realized they were dead when they reached the underworld.

"Hurry up and handle the corpses, don't leave any traces. Clean up the aftermath thoroughly. For tonight's matter, those who don't want to die, keep your mouths shut. If anyone dares to reveal a single word, I won't deal with you, the expert will deal with you! Don't regret not listening to advice when you die."

Chen Guanlou basked in the moonlight for a night, and early in the morning, he arrived at the Heavenly Prison feeling refreshed.

Boss Meng had been waiting for a long time; he wanted to send a gift, a generous gift.

He felt guilty about the price promised earlier, feeling it was too low! It must be supplemented! He must make Brother Chen happy.

If Brother Chen is happy, he is happy.

Having heard that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen seemed to like antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, he searched through them overnight and collected a piece of calligraphy and painting from a prisoner's home, sending it over personally as a thank-you gift.

Seeing this, Chen Guanlou thought Boss Meng was quite generous, giving money and also including calligraphy and painting.

Boss Meng was sensible enough; it wouldn't hurt to cooperate a few more times in the future.

Boss Meng was also very happy; Brother Chen accepted his painting, and his hanging heart was finally put to rest.

"In the future, if Brother Chen has any orders, just mention them, and I, your younger brother, will not shirk."

"Brother Meng is too polite!"

The two laughed, the tacit understanding in their hearts.

Chen Guanlou rolled up the calligraphy and painting, preparing to take it to Master Du to cash it in. On the way, he was seen by Medical Official Mu, who seemed to like it quite a bit. Chen Guanlou was very generous and only asked for a friendly price, transferring the calligraphy and painting to the other party.

Medical Official Mu admired the calligraphy and painting while curiously asking, "Your transaction is complete? The future trouble is all resolved?"

"It has to be Old Mu, with eyes like torches!"

"You really have no moral torment at all, I admire you!"

"Killing those who deserve to be killed, I'm too happy to be tormented, so why would I be? Old Mu, you seem to have a misunderstanding of the two words 'conscience'."
