Chapter 12 Fifty Taels, The Name of Iron Ox
Liujia Town.

The Qian family mansion.

The place was bustling with activity.

Today is the auspicious day of the Qian family patriarch taking in his eighteenth wife, and many guests have been invited.

Although it was late, the atmosphere remained lively.

However, Qian Huan didn't join in the fun anymore. After drinking for so long, he was already eager to consummate the marriage.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Qian Huan couldn't wait to go to the backyard.

This woman from the Eighteenth Chamber is a respectable woman he has recently taken a liking to.

He really went to great lengths to marry her.

She married a herbalist, and the couple supported each other for many years.

Qian Huan happened to see it and got a plan, so he killed the herb farmer.

Later, he sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, but the woman was very strong-willed and refused to give in.

Having no other choice, he had to threaten the other party with her daughter, and only then did he successfully win the heart of the beauty.

He had already planned that when the other woman's daughter grew up, they would serve him together, allowing him to enjoy the bliss of having two women.

Thinking of this, Qian Huan became even more anxious, wishing she could grow wings and fly directly to the backyard.

Fortunately, he soon found the room, opened the door, and went inside.

"My wife, I'm here!"

Qian Huan chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and wiggled his way closer to the bride in her wedding dress.

The bride's body was visibly trembling, which only excited Qian Huan more.

He came to the bedside, chuckled, and then lifted the red cloth covering, revealing a face that made his blood boil.

"What a nice view!"

He exclaimed in surprise, thinking to himself that he had really made the right choice in taking this concubine.

"You look like you're not happy at all?"

However, his smile quickly faded, and he asked coldly.

The bride didn't speak, but instead gave a mocking smile.

This angered Qian Huan, and he was about to make a move, but then he remembered that tonight was their wedding night, so he grabbed the bride's collar instead.

"It's okay, you're unhappy now, but you'll be happy later."

After saying that, he released her, and the bride coughed several times, covering her throat.

She slowly raised her head and revealed a smile, but the smile seemed somewhat cold.

Upon seeing this, Qian Huan was immediately enraged, but before he could make a move, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Because he saw a figure in the bride's resentful eyes.

"who?"

Qian Huan turned around abruptly and saw a black figure reflected in his pupils.

The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a fist pointing directly at his heart.

"Who are you?"

Qian Huan clutched his chest, but what greeted him was the black-clad man's ferocious fist.

This brutal beating left Qian Huan a bloody mess, and he died not long afterward.

After dealing with Qian Huan, Su Chen ignored the sobbing bride, groped Qian Huan's body for a while, and then turned and left.

After an unknown amount of time, a commotion arose from inside the Qian residence.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Su Chen anymore.

Su Chen had already returned home, changed into new clothes, and after washing up, lay down on the bed.

"It took seven days to complete three tasks. If it weren't for the travel and inspections, it could have been done even faster."

Su Chen pondered, the three missions were in different locations, dozens of miles apart.

He spent most of his time traveling and verifying the authenticity of the information.

"I'll go to Linjiabao to turn in the mission tomorrow. But the three of them only cost thirty taels, plus the twenty taels I got from them, for a total of fifty taels. I'm still fifty taels short of my next in-game purchase."

"However, the reward for this kind of assassination mission is too low. It seems that the Misty Rain Pavilion is taking a lot of kickbacks!" Apart from the Zhanyi Gang, the people to be killed in the other two missions all have certain backgrounds, but their value is not much higher.

Before killing the three men, he had done some research on their backgrounds.

The Zhanyi Gang is similar to the Blackwater Gang, except that one is based in White Stone City and the other in nearby villages and towns.

Ironclad Martial Arts School is of a much higher status than Blackwater Gang, but not as high as Hung Family Martial Arts School.

However, the Medicine Gang is a well-known gang near White Stone City, and it has connections with many forces in both the outer and inner cities.

Fortunately, the other party only requested the killing of a dispatched leader, whose position was not high.

It can be seen that Yanyu Tower selectively issues tasks.

The tasks issued were all low-paying, and the backgrounds and strength of the targets were not very high.

They were probably afraid of offending powerful figures.

Su Chen speculated that the three were roughly equal in strength.

Sun Fan and Lu Tao have reached the minor stage of strength training, while Qian Huan is a bit stronger, having reached the major stage, but he probably just entered that stage not long ago.

Unfortunately, none of them were a match for Su Chen; all three of their attacks resulted in crushing victories.

Even so, Su Chen dared not be careless, as he didn't know if these people had other tricks up their sleeves.

Fortunately, the final result was pleasing; he killed all three of them, and no accidents occurred during the process.

After summarizing his thoughts, Su Chen went to sleep.

Silent all night.

Misty Rain Pavilion.

Old Lin looked at the wooden plaque that Su Chen handed over with a slightly strange expression, and then glanced at Su Chen.

"Wait a moment!"

He did not give an immediate answer, but asked Su Chen to wait.

After Su Chen waited for about fifteen minutes, Old Lin called out to him and handed him the reward, saying, "This is your reward, a total of thirty taels."

Under everyone's gaze, Su Chen accepted the silver, then looked at the portraits, his expression suddenly freezing.

One of the papers read:

"Find the murderer who killed Qian Huan, the leader of the Medicine Gang in Liu Family Town. Information will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

He had noticed that some people in the room were secretly observing him with a veiled gaze.

"There aren't many people who take on assassination missions to begin with. These people probably already guessed that I was the one who killed Qian Huan when they saw me come to collect my reward."

After a moment's thought, Su Chen understood why these people were looking at him like that.

"Ten taels for providing a piece of information, the Medicine Gang is really rich and powerful!"

After a cold laugh to himself, Su Chen turned his gaze to Old Lin and asked meaningfully:

"I want to know if the Misty Rain Pavilion will leak information about the Executors?"

Old Lin was taken aback upon hearing this, then met Su Chen's deep gaze and replied with certainty, "No."

He stared at Old Lin for a long time, then pointed to a portrait: "I'll take this mission!"

The direction the finger was pointing was towards Liu Tong's portrait.

Old Lin nodded and handed the task to Su Chen.

His actions did reduce the number of those subtle glances.

"Do you need to purchase information?" Old Lin asked, looking up after registering.

"Do you have any news about him? How much?" Su Chen asked.

"One or two."

"Give me one, then."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen said, and Old Lin handed Su Chen a bamboo tube about the size of a thumb.

After receiving the mission, Su Chen got up and left, giving everyone in the room a bright smile before he left.

Old Lin was taken aback upon seeing this, but his hands continued moving. He murmured, "Tie Niu..."
