The place where Li Ziren lived was different from the Black Kill Pavilion.

He lived in an area where everyone was either rich or powerful. His neighbors were either wealthy or influential people in the county. There were also people patrolling the area at night. The safety was on a completely different level from other places.

He wouldn't dare make such a big commotion openly.

I estimate that a bunch of people will rush out within minutes.

Assassination is still the only option!

We arrived at the gate of a luxurious mansion.

There was a pair of stone lions at the entrance, looking very imposing.

Two white lanterns hung at the entrance, emitting a pale light.

Lu Chen glanced at it, somewhat puzzled.

Who else in Li Ziren's family has died?

Why is there still a white cloth hanging there? It looks like a funeral parlor.

Could it be that Li Feng hasn't buried him yet?

It's been so long, and in this sweltering heat, people are starting to stink!

He frowned, found a corner with a tree growing there, looked around, but there was no one there.

He leaped up and landed lightly on the wall, peering inside using the shadow cast by the big tree.

It was already late at night, and all the servants in Li Ziren's household had gone to sleep. Only one person remained in the mourning hall to keep watch, and he was fast asleep, leaning against a pillar.

Lu Chen quietly jumped down and crouched all the way to the backyard.

Wealthy families are different; there are lights in the courtyard, but the whole area is covered with white silk cloth, which is a bit eerie.

"According to the information, Li Ziren should be living with his mistress who took his wife's place... here!"

He found the master bedroom.

The room was completely dark, with a bed curtain blocking the view inside.

He was crouching down, preparing to pry open the door, when he suddenly heard a noise behind him. Startled, he tried to hide, but when he turned around, he froze on the spot.

What the hell!

A person was crouching on the wall, preparing to jump down, when he spotted Lu Chen. They stared at each other, completely dumbfounded.

Lu Chen looked at the man's attire: dressed in black, his face covered, only his shifty eyes were visible, clearly indicating he was not a good person.

The person on the wall also looked at Lu Chen. Dressed in black and with his face covered, only a pair of shifty eyes were visible, clearly not a good person.

After a moment of stalemate, the two remained motionless like wooden figures. Finally, the person on the wall leaped down, landing lightly with a finger to his lips, signaling for silence.

Lu Chen could also see that this person clearly harbored ill intentions towards Li Ziren.

Lu Chen looked around, pointed to the garden pavilion behind him, and then used his index and middle fingers to mimic the posture of walking on two legs.

The gentleman on the wall glanced at it for a moment and nodded.

The two sneaked up behind the pavilion, staring at each other warily, neither of them speaking first.

silence.

"What...do you do?"

Lu Chen broke the silence first, asking in a low voice.

"What do you do?" the gentleman on the wall asked in return.

Lu Chen scratched his face.

"How about we count to three and say it all at once?"

"OK!"

"1...2...3..."

"..."

silence.

Damn it, you liar!

The two looked at each other with disdain.

Lu Chen was getting a little anxious.

Time is of the essence!

The devices that the Black Kill Pavilion set up themselves should be taking effect soon.

If things get chaotic, Li Ziren might get woken up, and then it will be difficult to make a move!

He took a breath: "Okay, I'll go first. After I'm done, if you don't say anything, don't blame me!"

He stared at the gentleman figure on the wall, took a few steps back, and stopped beside a rockery: "I'm here to kill Li Ziren!"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at the person opposite him.

The person opposite him was taken aback for a moment.

You've come to kill Li Ziren too?

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke: "Me too."

Lu Chen didn't quite trust him: "Why did you come to kill him?"

Having already spoken, the gentleman on the wall no longer concealed anything: "He's utterly depraved. Those children that Lord Hu rescued, he killed several of them while trying to gather information!"

Lu Chen's eyes immediately turned cold.

The person he rescued was killed by Li Ziren?

His anger flared up instantly.

"Beast!" he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then we have the same goal! Why don't we each rely on our own abilities and not interfere with each other? Just kill him, what do you say?"

"good!"

The two reached an agreement and immediately went to Li Ziren's door.

Lu Chen skillfully took out a dagger, inserted it into the crack in the door, and slowly pried the door open.

The other person went to the window, poked a hole in the window paper, took out a tube, and blew smoke into it.

Lu Chen pursed his lips.

This guy definitely doesn't look like a good person. What good person carries around sleeping pills?

After blowing out the sleeping powder, the other person looked at the dagger in Lu Chen's hand and the door that had been opened a crack.

If I had seen this guy in a different place, I would have arrested him long ago!

Such skill in picking doors and unlocking locks—he's definitely a cunning thief!

However, now that the two have formed a cooperative relationship, they did not undermine each other. Instead, they waited quietly outside the door for a while, and only after the sleeping gas took effect did they slowly push the door open and go in.

The gentleman on the wall pointed at Li Ziren on the bed, and then at the two of them.

Lu Chen immediately pulled out a knife.

What are you gesturing like that?

Draw your knife and get to work. The guy's already knocked out, what's the point of hesitating?

He raised the knife, the tip aimed at Li Ziren's heart, and stabbed him directly in the chest.

"Pfft!"

Li Ziren's body trembled slightly.

Lu Chen pulled out his knife and slashed at his neck again.

Blood gushed out, turning the bed crimson.

[Under the host's influence, Li Ziren's fate has changed.]

[Hit Value +370]

Total Life Points: 2730

Total Luck Value: -19

Lu Chen looked at the person next to Li Ziren.

At this moment, her face was covered in blood, and she was unconscious and completely unaware of anything.

Is this drug really that effective?

He also wants to get some; they're essential for home and travel!

The gentleman on the wall was a little confused.

You're really a repeat offender, aren't you? You're so skilled at it.

He silently put down the dagger in his hand.

"Walk!"

Lu Chen glanced at the other person in surprise.

"Leave? Leave what? If we don't loot everything, what's the point of coming here?"

He started searching the house right in front of the other person.

He's become very experienced and adept at this kind of thing after doing it so many times.

It's a pity that looting corpses and ransacking houses didn't generate an entry, otherwise his proficiency would have increased very quickly.

The gentleman on the wall stared in disbelief.

No, you killed someone and you're not afraid at all, yet you're here touching things all over the place?

Is this appropriate?

"What are you doing? This is a government official! You killed him, aren't you afraid at all? Get out of here right now!"

He pulled Lu Chen aside and lowered his voice.

"Why are you leaving? The man is dead, what are you afraid of? Li Ziren has plundered countless amounts of the people's wealth. I'm just returning the money he took from the people to them. Haven't you heard of robbing the rich to help the poor? What's the use of this money staying here? It just benefits his wife."

"You're talking nonsense, you..." His chest heaved, but after thinking about it for a moment, what Lu Chen said didn't seem to make any sense. He immediately let go of Lu Chen's hand and began searching for himself.

However, compared to Lu Chen, he was a complete novice.

Lu Chen chuckled, stuffed a box of silver notes into his pocket, and also tucked away the jewelry inside.

He tapped on the floor and walls inch by inch, trying to find a hidden compartment, and then moved the body off the bed and searched the bed carefully.

There was no harvest.

It seems they don't really like hiding things.

Lu Chen tore off a piece of cloth, rolled it into a ball, soaked it in blood, looked around, and wrote a few large characters on a spacious, flat wall.

"Li Ziren, utterly depraved, seized people's property, abducted women, and harmed the common people! The murderers are the Flying Eagle Caravan!"

After finishing writing, he casually tossed the cloth in his hand aside and looked at the gentleman on the wall, who was somewhat dumbfounded.

"There probably isn't much good stuff here. Let's check the study!"

Lu Chen gestured for the other person to leave, and before leaving, he politely closed the door.

"Although I forgot to knock when I came in, I closed the door for you when I left. You're welcome; it's what I should do!"

Lu Chen waved his hand and led the gentleman on the wall to the study to search for treasure.
