Chapter 2 Behead!
The sun had already set, the night was deepening, and the earth seemed to be shrouded in a pitch-black curtain.

In the fenced yard, a figure was tiptoeing slowly forward.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he moved the bolt gently without making any sound.

As soon as he opened the door, Fang Chen looked back at the room behind him, as if he saw two people sleeping. He touched the dagger he had secretly sharpened in his sleeve, and walked out slowly and firmly.

Through the crack in the door, Father Fang's vicissitudes of life looked at the departing figure with his eyes. His dry hands tightly grasped the bolt. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly sighed, pulled on his clothes and returned to the inner room.

……

In the dark alley, Fang Chen, with his face covered with a black cloth, looked at the courtyard opposite. There was a sleeping figure sitting at the gate of the courtyard.

This man was one of the several strong men who came to collect the "swill tax" during the day!

He needs money now, he needs money very much, but in this world, money cannot be saved, and if you save it, it is for others.

Although Liu Wu is called Master Liu, in the eyes of people with a little bit of strength, he is nothing!

This degree is just right, a little oily but not enough to hurt your teeth.

Even so, he slowly inquired and waited for a long time, and only prepared to take action when the two gangs were fighting, when it would be the least noticeable.

Ignoring the burly man guarding the gate, he walked around the wall with light steps.

In the backyard, a figure gently descended from the courtyard wall, and Fang Chen walked towards Liu Wu's bedroom with ease.

Fang Chen has been preparing for today for a long time. This is the target he has selected over and over again. He will not take action unless he is absolutely sure.

If you act rashly, you will be irresponsible not only to your own chance of rebirth, but also to the other party's family.

Outside a bedroom, Fang Chen opened a tiny crack in the window and saw a person sleeping on the bed through the gap. Looking through the moonlight, he saw that the person was Liu Wu. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He took out a cigarette roll from his pocket and lit it, and wisps of thick smoke drifted into the room.

Don't get me wrong, Fang Chen certainly can't get any kind of sleeping incense or anything like that. This is his homemade sleeping incense, which can only make people sleep a little more deeply.

In order to survive in his previous life, he taught himself a lot of pharmacology knowledge and came to a different world. Although there were many differences among herbs, he was lucky enough to mix this sleeping incense.

After waiting for half an hour, Fang Chen thought it was about time, so he propped up the window with one hand and slowly moved forward to enter the house.

Gently closing the window, Fang Chen looked around the room and saw Liu Wu sleeping soundly under the covers.

Living alone is also one of the reasons why Fang Chen chose him. Liu Wu lost his wife last year and often visits brothels. He has not remarried for the time being.

Without hesitation, Fang Chen pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, which was actually a sharpened iron rod.

He first covered his mouth, then stabbed into the neck of Liu Wu who was sleeping!
The severe pain immediately woke Liu Wu up. Seeing that someone was stabbed in the neck, he began to struggle in fear!
Upon seeing this, Fang Chen pressed forward directly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he kept pulling out the dagger and stabbing it again and again. After repeating this several times, Liu Wu finally twitched a few times and stopped struggling.

"call!"

Heaving a sigh of relief, Fang Chen let go of his hand and was shocked to find himself sweating and covered in blood.

“Killing people is so tiring!”

Fang Chen didn't feel nauseous or vomiting, but he felt a little weak.

He had no burden in his heart about killing people like Liu Wu. Which of these gangsters didn't have a few lives on their hands?
There are countless people whose families were destroyed and whose lives were ruined by Liu Wu!

After Liu Wu was killed, the Blackwater Gang would definitely have a reaction, but it would not be too big, after all, he was just a small leader.

People like Liu Wu have offended many people. Now that the two gangs are at war, the Black Water Gang should first suspect the Red Sand Gang. This will give Fang Chen some time to develop.

Time waits for no one, Fang Chen hurriedly got up, wiped the blood off his hands with a quilt, and began to rummage through the drawers.

Killing is not the purpose, money is. Although Liu Wu is annoying, it is not worth it for Fang Chen to take such a big risk, not to mention the time to prepare for this matter.

After a long time, the house was turned upside down. It would be much easier to interrogate him if he was left alive, but the risk was too great. If Liu Wu made a noise, it would be the end of him. One should not be too greedy.

Fang Chen estimated the time. Although he still felt a little reluctant, he decided to stop in time. Without hesitation, he gently opened the door and left quickly.

……

At this time, the sky was already quite dark, it was the darkest hour before dawn.

Fang Chen crouched down and quickly rushed into the house.

"Hu...Shh..." After closing the door, Fang Chen breathed heavily, showing a relieved expression.

"Cough cough!"

At this moment, a cough suddenly came from the inner room. Father Fang lifted the door curtain and looked at Fang Chen carefully with his deep, old eyes. Seeing that there was still dried blood on his body, he showed a worried look on his face and whispered, "Clean up first!"

Fang Chen looked at his body and nodded heavily. He had already thrown his coat into the river, and there were a few blood stains on it. As he was in a hurry to come back, he had no way to clean it up.

He was not surprised by his father's appearance, because he would intentionally reveal some of himself on weekdays, so that Father Fang could make some preparations.

He had been planning this for so long, and it was hard to hide it from his father, who seemed honest but was actually shrewd and careful.

But he was very surprised that his father didn't stop him.

Fang Chen went to wash and tidy up, and the room suddenly became silent.

When it was already dawn, Fang Chen looked at his father standing opposite him and silently opened a small package.

The contents were dumped onto the bed, mostly copper coins, but also quite a bit of silver change.

Father Fang sat down next to him silently, and the two of them began to count in tacit understanding.

"About twenty-three taels in total!"

In the end, the two of them worked it out and came up with this number, which didn’t even include some jewelry!
Fang Chen was in a daze, cursing in his heart, these bastards are really good at plundering!
All the belongings of his Fang family are not worth even a tael of silver, unless they sell the house, but that is impossible. The area inside the city is still relatively good, and it is even more chaotic outside the city!

Daxuan uses copper coins as its basic currency, and silver and gold items are rarely seen by ordinary people.

One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is worth a thousand copper coins.

In this chaotic world, the copper coin has depreciated severely, but gold and silver are still strong!
Liu Wu is just a small leader of the Black Water Gang, but he has accumulated such wealth. It really shows that you can’t make money in this world by being honest!
And this might not be all his belongings, Fang Chen suddenly realized.

"Am I also considered robbing the rich to help the poor?" Fang Chen felt at ease taking the money, as he was indeed very poor.

At this time, Mr. Fang beside him sighed and said, "Is it Liu Wu?"

"Yeah." Fang Chen just nodded without saying much.

"It's too risky!" Father Fang knocked on the bed.

A strange look flashed in Fang Chen's eyes. He thought his father would scold him for murder. It turned out that his father was not an honest man.

"Humph!"

Ignoring his son's strange look, he said directly: "Liu Wu has been coming here a lot recently. I'm afraid he has set his sights on Xiao Ting!"

"He dares!"

Fang Chen was shocked and said angrily.

Then he came to his senses and found that it was true. In an instant, Fang Chen wanted to stab him a few more times.

No wonder that bastard Liu Wu has been so pushy lately, he probably wants to sell Xiao Ting to a brothel.

"That's enough!" Father Fang said in a low voice.

Then he asked, "Have you cleaned your hands and feet?"

Fang Chen thought about it and realized that if he wanted to find evidence, it would be difficult to trace it back to him.

But this is a gang, and they won't talk about evidence. As long as they are suspected, they will most likely not let it go. However, they will not start a big fight just for a small leader.

It would be fine if there were only one or two people who were worthy of suspicion, but the situation is complicated now. There are so many people who have the motive to kill Liu Wu, and the Black Water Gang does not have the ability to kill them all.

The best case scenario is that the Blackwater Gang is now unable to take care of itself and simply gives up on looking for the murderer. The worst case scenario is that the Blackwater Gang will continue to track down the murderer, but it is unknown how long it will take to find Fang Chen.

After figuring everything out, Fang Chen nodded, "Don't worry, Dad."

After hearing his son's answer, Mr. Fang looked at him deeply, and finally chose to believe his son and did not ask any more questions.

He turned around and left without asking Fang Chen what he was going to do with the money.

Looking at his father closing the door, Fang Chen let out a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure you guys live a good life soon."
