Chapter 97
Just as Cheng Dairen got up, Qin Man was startled awake. He saw Cheng Dairen's sweaty face and was frightened.
"What's going on, Master?"
Cheng Dalai shook his head and wiped away the sweat on his forehead: "Don't know yet."
"How did the master of the house know something was wrong?"
Cheng Dali didn't make a sound, his body leaning against the wall, but he had no more sleep.
That night, Cheng Dairen made a big fuss in the city, accumulating a wave of fear value. Afterwards, Cheng Dairen's fear value continued to grow. However, as time passed, the fear value he received naturally became less and less.
Just now, Cheng Dairen suddenly received a large amount of fear value, and the number was so frightening that even Cheng Dairen felt terrified.
The problem is, Cheng Dairen was hiding in his house sleeping and didn't do anything at all.
Originally, the fear value skyrocketed, meaning he could extract a few more people, but Cheng Dairen's temples throbbed wildly, feeling that it wasn't something good.
What happened after all?
It was known on the second day in the morning.
Cheng Dali didn't sleep well last night and was taking a nap in the house when he suddenly heard Luo Zi making a big fuss outside the yard.
"Programmer, you come out and fight me, one sword for two lives, no death no rest."
Cheng Dali came out wearing a big coat and saw Luo Zikai shaking with rage in the courtyard, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"What's he doing?" Cheng Dairen came out of the house.
"I don't know, I went out in the morning and came back like this?"
"You gang of ruthless mountain bandits, I'll go report to the authorities right now and have you bound by law!" Luo Zikai shouted loudly as he rushed out.
"It's deducted." Cheng Dairen said with a yawn.
Qin Man didn't move at all, and Lin Shaoyu took down Luo Zikai with one move, pinning him to the ground. But Luo Zikai continued to curse nonstop, struggling ceaselessly.
"Alright, alright, what's going on, take your time and tell me slowly."
"You bunch of mountain bandits, don't you know what you've done?"
"I've given you face, haven't I?!" Cheng Dairen thrust his sword into the ground: "Speak clearly, or if you give me more riddles, I'll send you to your death."
"Hah! If I were afraid of death, it would be a waste to have read the classics. You've already annihilated the entire Jia family; do you still care about my life?"
"Ah, you really have some scholarly temperament, Shaoyu, let it go." Cheng Dalai paused for a moment and suddenly said: "The entire Jia family was exterminated, is that what you just said?"
"Don't you know what you've done yourselves?! Just last night, all thirty-seven members of the Jia family were killed... Do you dare to do it but not take responsibility?!"
Cheng Dali and Xu Shenji exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.
"My poor fiancée, after being ravaged by you all, was then beheaded, and with her blood... a toad was painted on the wall." By this point, Luo Zikai had become overcome with emotion.
Cheng Dali raised an eyebrow, and everyone looked at each other, with the same sentence popping into their minds.
Someone impersonated me!
"Alright, alright." Cheng Daire pulled Luo Zikai up: "What's with this 'fiancée' of yours? She's clearly the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Besides, we didn't leave the house all night yesterday, you know that."
"You're not a divine being who has been passed down the art, with the Five Thunder Methods, having the Thousand Mile Eye and the Wind Ear, possessing divine magic." Luo Zikai raised his head.
Cheng Dalai took a deep breath: "The son does not speak of strange powers and gods."
"Wasn't it really you who did it?" Luo Zikai said.
"Never mind him, let's go inside and discuss it."
Several people threw down the disheartened Luo Zi and returned to the house to discuss together.
"Somebody is impersonating us, I wonder who it could be? Could it be Gao Fei Bao?"
"No, mountain bandits only rob to make a living, they try not to kill people if possible, and would never do something that cuts off a family's incense." Xu Shenji.
"Who could it be?"
"No matter who it is, there must be a third force in the city that we don't know about." Liu Bei.
"It's true, a whole family was wiped out overnight, and we didn't hear the slightest sound last night. Their methods are much more skillful than ours, they're really ruthless."
Cheng Dali sighed and the gloom in his heart could not be dispelled.
Indeed a ruthless man, silently slaughtered thirty or so people, ravaged the newlywed wife to death, cut off the opponent's ***, and casually drew a small frog on the wall before swaggering away.
The lives of these thirty or so people were at stake, and Cheng Dalai's fear was rising rapidly. The goal of 100,000 yuan that had been set earlier had already been achieved.
"No matter who they are, we can't leave the city, and they absolutely can't leave the city either." Cheng Dairen slowly sheathed his waist sword: "Dare to use my name, find them, and get rid of them."
Cheng Dali rushed out of the house, and even he was no longer hiding in the Luo family home. All six people went out to look for someone.
The city is now casting a wide net to look for them. At this moment, Cheng Da Lei also can't take care of many things and is risking danger to search the whole city for people.
The result was nothing gained, but it can't be said that there was no gain at all. At least they were not caught by the soldiers searching inside the city.
Outside news, they heard a lot. In the past few days, the entire Blackstone City has been buzzing with excitement, and the three words "Cheng Da Lei" have been mentioned the most.
Nowadays, the Black Stone Castle, everyone mentions the three words "Cheng Da Lei" with both hatred and fear. The storyteller in the tea house also made up a story, saying that Cheng Da Lei had a pale face and wolf-like teeth, was extremely evil, killed his mother at eight years old and murdered his father at nine years old, this kind of person is a great villain who appears only once every thousand years, and later should be struck by thunder.
The geniuses of Blackstone City gathered together, gritting their teeth and cursing loudly whenever they mentioned this matter, spending their days in tea houses and brothels composing poems to scold Cheng Dali.
One day with a knife in hand, kill the toad to feed the dog.
A mighty sword slices through the great thunder, a heroic stride reaches the cloudy sky.
One man gets drunk on wine, and vows not to return until he has killed a toad.
This group of geniuses was enthusiastic and excited all day long, even Lu Hong, who had fought with Cheng Da Lei in the past, was hailed as a hero. Led by him, a special militia team was formed in the city to kill Cheng Da Lei, consisting of scholars, martial artists, and family servants from various households, with a total number of around 300-500 people.
The young lady of the Embroidered Building stepped forward, took out her own makeup money to reward the soldiers. The golden girl who never left the house wiped away tears with a handkerchief and said repeatedly: "Which young hero can cut off Cheng Da Lei's dog head, I am willing to marry him."
The singing girls in the brothel also refused to be lonely, Yu Chun Lou, the largest brothel in Black Stone City, publicly declared that whoever could kill Cheng Da Lei would get free service from them for life.
Cheng Dali used to be notorious, but this time he's thoroughly infamous. Although the value of his holdings has been rising rapidly, Cheng Dali can't help but feel unhappy in his heart no matter what.
Every day on the street, you can hear people scolding him, but Cheng Dalai doesn't care about being pointed at his spine. The key is that this matter was not done by him.
On this day, Cheng Dairen and his gang wandered around the streets, firstly to find those who impersonated them, and secondly to blend in with the city.
Life in the city is getting tougher and tougher, days are getting harder and harder to get by.
Suddenly, the North City Gate was in great chaos, and it was said that a group of people rushed out on horseback.
