Chapter 20 Fear spreads

Chapter 20 Fear spreads
  Lin Chengye's study room.

Lin Chengye sat on the chair with a haggard look on his face, obviously he hadn't slept well all night.

In contrast, Lin Yu seemed full of energy.

Mainly because he now has many years of skill and his body is much stronger than ordinary people, so he can fully restore his energy even with a light sleep.

"Something happened to the Zhang family in the east of the city."

Lin Chengye cheered up and said calmly.

But Lin Yu could hear that his father was trying his best to hide his inner worries.

"Father, were those two martial arts masters going in to kill people?"

"Yes, more people died this time than the Wu family. A total of seven Zhang family members died, as well as a warrior invited from outside."

"So many?" Lin Yu was secretly shocked. The two evil creatures seemed to be getting more and more crazy. "Father, what's going on with the warrior invited from outside?"

"He is a third-rate warrior, said to be a disciple of the Tiger Clan. Yesterday, the Zhang family spent 300 taels of silver to hire him as a personal bodyguard for the eldest young master of the Zhang family."

A third-rate warrior? Tiger Gate?
  These two keywords made Lin Yu have to think in that direction, and he hurriedly asked: "Father, is that man named Yang Yuanzheng?"

"It seems that his surname is Yang. I don't know what his specific name is."

"Then it looks like it's him."

Lin Yu remembered that Yang Yuanzheng said yesterday that he had an agreement, and it seemed that he was going to be a bodyguard.

Seeing Lin Yu's suddenly enlightened look, Lin Chengye asked curiously, "Why, do you know him?"

"I bought this sword from him for 600 taels of gold."

Lin Yu now kept the knife close to his body, so he easily took it off from his waist and handed it to Lin Chengye.

"It is indeed a precious sword." Lin Chengye is a person who knows the goods, and he can tell at a glance that the materials and craftsmanship of this knife are of the highest quality.

After returning the knife to Lin Yu, Lin Chengye sighed: "It's a pity that it's useless to have a knife now. Even a third-rate warrior is no match for the two murderers."

"Father, did anyone see the battle?"

Lin Yu wanted to know the fighting power of those two evil creatures.

"No one saw it." Lin Chengye shook his head. "It is said that when the Zhang family's guards heard the sound of fighting and rushed over, eight people, including the warrior, were already lying on the ground dead."

"So fast?"

Lin Yu was shocked.

He had learned Yang Yuanzheng's skills before, but he couldn't block the opponent's moves. It would be very dangerous for him to face those two guys.

Seeing Lin Yu's surprised look, Lin Chengye comforted him: "Yu'er, don't worry, I already have a response strategy, just feel free."

"Yes, father."

"Okay, you go out first."

Lin Chengye waved his hand.

After leaving the study, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.

Forging iron requires one's own strength. In this case, one cannot rely entirely on his father. He must have sufficient means of self-protection.

"Martial arts, you still have to rely on martial arts!"

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yu found that there was no better way besides improving his martial arts level.

He stopped thinking about it, went back to his room, called Wan'er and went straight to the black market.

……

The carriages rattled and creaked as they passed through the streets.

Lin Yu noticed that there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the street than yesterday, and even those who came out were not shopping as usual.

Instead, they gathered together in small groups, probably talking about the tragedy that happened to the Wu family and the Zhang family.

From time to time, you can hear some comments, some are gloating, some are expressing sympathy, but overall, the majority of people are fearful.

After all, this is a murder case.

Jianyang City, as the capital city of Jianyang Prefecture in the Zhou Kingdom, has been at peace for a long time, and there are very few murders on weekdays.

Even if there is, it is a case of impulsive murder due to a conflict of emotions, and there is no comparison with such a major case of breaking into a deep house and planning to commit murder.

In the carriage, Lin Yu sighed secretly. It seems that he caused this incident. I didn't expect that just because he wanted to recover his stolen money, so many innocent people would die.

He couldn't help but begin to regret his actions at that time.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have cared about this matter at that time and let Uncle Chengze and his father handle it.

It's a pity that it's useless to think about this now. I can only say that everything is an arrangement of fate.

"By the way, did Yuan Neng cause the two brothers to transform into corpses after their death?"

Lin Yu recalled some details at that time and couldn't help but think deeply.

Obviously not everyone will transform into a corpse after death. If this kind of thing happened frequently, it would be impossible to hide it and the news would have spread a lot.

Also, this is different from the Resident Evil movies I watched on Earth in my previous life. Corpse transformation is not contagious.

For example, after Wu Zhengchu and others were killed by brothers He Wen and He Wu, there was no corpse transformation.

So after much deliberation, this matter can only be related to Yuan Neng.

"If that's the case, then the origin of Yuan Neng is a bit scary. It seems to involve some mysterious extraordinary power..."

"wrong!"

Lin Yu shook his head secretly, things must not be that simple.

Judging from the currently known information, some funerary objects can absorb energy, and these funerary objects will be secretly circulated through the black market.

In other words, there should be many people who have come into contact with Yuan Neng.

But before brothers He Wen and He Wu, they had never heard of corpse transformation, at least not openly.

"Either it has to do with the amount of energy. Too little amount will not cause corpse transformation."

"Either... the government is hiding the news."

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but have a headache.

Although he is the eldest son of a wealthy family, his status in this world is still very humble, and he has no ability to know more inside information.

This is not a pleasant thing. There is no guarantee that danger will come to me one day, and I am still confused and unaware of it.

How many lives are not enough?

"Master, we're here."

At this time, Wan'er beside her gently reminded her.

She kept looking out the window.

"Okay, get out of the car."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, temporarily leaving those worries behind.

The top priority is to quickly improve your own strength. This is the only thing that others cannot take away.

If you are a first-rate warrior, then not only hacking to death the evil thing that He Wenhe turned into, but at least running away will not be a problem.

The group of four people walked in a hurry and soon arrived outside the venue where the black market auction was held.

There are only a few people standing here, which is incomparable to the lively scene yesterday.

At this time, these people were also talking about the murder case of the Wu family and the Zhang family, and mentioned the words "official government" in their words, which made Lin Yu couldn't help but become curious, and took the initiative to bring Wan'er and the three of them over.

"This matter is so egregious that it is normal for the government to put aside other work and make it the top priority."

"Yes, those two guys are looking for trouble for wealthy families, and our senior officials from Jianyang Mansion are naturally among them. Can you not be anxious?"

"I hope this matter can be found out soon, otherwise we won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"..."

The people chatting were all dressed in fine clothes, and they were obviously rich and powerful. They cared about this matter more than other ordinary people.

Lin Yu stood aside and listened for a while. He didn't hear any particularly valuable news, so he turned and left, preparing to ask when the auction would be held.

But at this moment, a member of the Chamber of Commerce dressed as a steward walked out of the compound quickly.

"Everyone, I have something important to inform you."
