Chapter 9: Start Action

After the breakthrough, Lu Zhangsheng stopped practicing the blade technique.

With a thought, the pig-slaughtering knife disappeared from his hand.

All bound weapons could be stored in the modifier space.

Then Lu Zhangsheng walked toward the outside of the courtyard after breakfast.

He prepared to start action.

After his martial arts were initially successful, he also had the confidence to kill Zhao Erhu.

If he waited any longer, he was afraid the situation would change.

However, as a small leader of the Sanhe Gang, the other party always stayed in the gang's gathering place, making it very difficult for him to find an opportunity.

With his strength, rashly breaking into the other party's station to kill them forcibly was probably also looking for death.

If he were surrounded by a large number of gang members, it would be very difficult to kill his way out.

Everything still needed to be planned carefully.

He prepared to investigate the other party's whereabouts first before making plans.

Soon, Lu Zhangsheng left the courtyard and walked toward the street corner.

He endured the disgusting smell on the roadside and walked forward along the street all the way.

Before long, he walked to a courtyard corner.

Just then, a familiar conversation drifted into his ears.

He immediately stopped and poked his head out to observe quietly.

One of them was the target person he was looking for, Zhao Erhu, and this person also brought two followers.

"Tiger Lord, my family really can't come up with money."

A young man in coarse hemp clothes knelt in the courtyard, begging for mercy.

"Hmph... it's written clearly in black and white; do you want to default on the debt? My Sanhe Gang is not to be trifled with..."

Zhao Erhu held the debt note, kicked the man in front of him, and shouted with full disdain.

The other two followers also had expressions of a cat playing with a mouse.

Chen Yuan gripped his clothes tightly, his eyes red, and his heart full of anger.

His father also went missing in that escort agency accident a month ago, so he got a sum of silver.

This Sanhe Gang's Zhao Erhu came to his door, also holding the debt note he had owed in the gambling house before.

But the interest had already risen to an astronomical figure; the principal was only two taels of silver, but now it had rolled to dozens of taels of silver; even if he sold himself, he couldn't pay it back.

At this moment, he knew he had been plotted against.

He regretted very much getting involved in the gambling habit, which gave the other party an opportunity.

Even if he went to report to the official, it would be of no use.

"Kid, paying debts is justified; we agreed on this interest..."

Zhao Erhu smiled mockingly.

"Do you want to end up like that Lu kid?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhangsheng, who was in the corner, felt his face turn cold.

His predecessor was plotted to death by the same routine.

It seemed the other party had set their sights on quite a few people.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was afraid and replied stutteringly: "I, I... will pay it back... as soon as possible..."

The two families were separated by two streets, and he and Lu Zhangsheng also knew each other.

He had heard about the other party's deeds a few days ago, and now seeing Zhao Erhu wanting to kill himself, he was naturally very afraid.

Just then, Chen Yuan's wife and daughter in the room heard the movement and rushed out.

A beautiful woman in hemp clothes came to Chen Yuan's side, her expression very miserable.

But her figure was quite good, her upper body was concave and convex, quite seductive. The beautiful woman was also holding a ten-year-old girl.

The mother and daughter clung to each other, and the girl's eyes were full of fear.

They all knew the name of the Sanhe Gang; these people were treacherous and cunning, doing all kinds of evil, making people extremely disgusted.

Now that the other party had set their sights on their family, it made a few people feel somewhat desperate.

Some people in the nearby street also heard the movement and walked over one after another.

Everyone watched the scene in front of them quietly, with numb faces.

"If you can't pay the silver today, then collect some interest first; take your wife and daughter to pay the debt, otherwise, go to the mine to dig mines."

Zhao Erhu's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful woman appear.

He had played with quite a few women, but this kind of mature, good-family woman was still quite rare, which greatly increased his interest.

For the next few days, Lu Zhangsheng had been carefully monitoring the other party's whereabouts.

This Zhao Erhu was quite cautious, always bringing two followers.

During the day, he was active within the Sanhe Gang's sphere of influence, and every day, besides bullying men and women, he was collecting protection fees, which was very arrogant.

At night, he rested in the gang's hinterland, making it difficult for Lu Zhangsheng to find an opportunity.

As a large gang, the Sanhe Gang's gang leader was at least in the Bone Forging realm, so Lu Zhangsheng didn't dare to kill his way into the other party's core area.

If he were not careful, he would be discovered by dark sentries, and it would be extremely difficult to even escape.

Everything still needed to be planned carefully.

However, after observing for these few days, he also found a clue.

Lu Zhangsheng discovered that this person actually seemed to have an unclear relationship with Zhang Guafu on the street.

The two often flirted with each other, and Zhao Erhu even moved his hands and feet on Zhang Guafu, and he didn't see her resist.

The two clearly had some affair.

After this discovery, Lu Zhangsheng changed his thinking and began to stare at Zhang Guafu.

For three consecutive days, he lay in the corner at night, staring at Zhang Guafu's courtyard.

But he never saw Zhao Erhu appear.

This made him somewhat suspicious in his heart.

"Could my guess be wrong?"

Time soon came to the fifth day.

This day, late night.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and everything was silent.

There wasn't even a figure on both sides of the street.

Only the occasional crowing of crows came from nearby.

The atmosphere of the entire street seemed somewhat eerie.

Lu Zhangsheng hid quietly in the corner, staring at the courtyard ahead, not daring to relax at all.

Just then, a tall figure walked from the end of the street, his steps very light.

This person was Zhao Erhu.

Zhao Erhu was also holding a long knife in his hand, walking quickly toward the courtyard.

After Lu Zhangsheng's many days of squatting, the other party finally appeared here.

"This guy is quite cautious, even bringing weapons when coming out to steal fragrance and jade."

Lu Zhangsheng sneered in his heart.

Today was the other party's death date.
