Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 441 [Tree Heart] 10

Within a few days, the deep mountains became lively again.

A group of new people, led by a middle-aged man, walked under the Fenglan tree.

It was noon, the weather was clear and hot. As soon as you approached this huge banyan tree, which was so big that four or five people couldn't hug it, you could feel the coolness like a spring breeze.

"Is this the sacred tree you mentioned?"

"Yes, Captain Deng, it's rare to see a banyan tree this big. With this thick trunk and dense crown, it must be hundreds of years old, if not thousands of years old. It might have been here since the Ming Dynasty! And with these neatly arranged aerial roots, it's definitely going to bring more wealth to your backyard than any other banyan tree!"

"Alright, alright," the leading man in a gray-blue satin jacket waved his hand impatiently. "I have eyes, I can see." He rolled his eyes behind his small round sunglasses. "It's your turn to show off here, making it seem like your grandfather is uneducated!"

The man in sunglasses is naturally the lackey under Master Hong. As for Master Hong, he is one of the famous local tyrants in Huicheng. Together with Liu San and Master Liu, he has been busy for Marshal Ge recently. To put it bluntly, he is fawning and trying to please him.

As for why the two men don't get along so well, we have to start with their respective histories of making a fortune. Master Liu is a local rich man and can be regarded as an old local boss in Huicheng, while Master Hong came later. Because of the war in the north, he brought his troops all the way to Huicheng. The people under his command are all capable. They had some relationships with the bandits outside Huicheng before, but now, bandits are not as good as soldiers, so it won't be wrong to have a good relationship with Marshal Ge.

As for the man in sunglasses, Deng Rencheng, he wasn't one of Mr. Hong's original crew, but who could have guessed? He'd been a well-known lackey all along, and now, this time, he'd received this rather important mission.

Although Master Hong had already presented Marshal Ge with a white snake of excellent meaning, no one can have too many auspicious signs! If this sacred tree was really that good, Deng Rencheng would naturally work hard to make a good impression in front of Master Hong.

Deng Rencheng walked around the banyan tree. There were more than a dozen people following him. Some of them were carrying guns. They were all assigned to Deng Rencheng's subordinates. He also had a gun on his waist. This was one of the reasons why Deng Rencheng was so arrogant. In such a chaotic world, whoever has a gun has the confidence!

"Well," Deng Rencheng patted the banyan tree, "It's really good, but it has too many aerial roots. It looks creepy. I need to prune it later."

Since Deng Rencheng wanted to please his immediate superior, he had to do some work first. "This banyan tree can ward off evil spirits and absorb dragon energy. Perfect! I think this banyan tree is worthy of being called the King of Trees! It's perfect for a man like the Marshal who has a kingly aura!"

Although the person he was flattering was not here, Deng Rencheng still acted very passionately.

To show that his presence here was useful beyond just taking a walk, Deng Rencheng pointed at two people and said, "You, and you, go measure the girth and height of this tree."

"Yes, Captain Deng."

Deng Rencheng walked around the tree several times. Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man leading the team was a little frightened. "Captain Deng, is there something you are not satisfied with?"

Deng Rencheng then noticed the little guy who was leading the way. "Why are you still here?" Deng Rencheng raised his eyebrows, a playful smile on his thin face. "Oh, I remember now. Dayang, I haven't given it to you yet, right?"

Deng Rencheng took out a bag from his arms and pinched out a few silver dollars from it. His eyes behind the small sunglasses were fixed on the middle-aged man in front of him. Seeing that he was staring at the dollars in his hand without any hesitation, and his whole body revealed his desire for dollars, Deng Rencheng's eyes regained that carefree air.

"One, two... here, thirty dollars. Don't say your information is worthless. It's enough to keep you busy for a while!"

"Thank you, Captain Deng! Thank you, Captain Deng!" The middle-aged man didn't mind Deng Rencheng's contemptuous attitude at all. He just couldn't wait to take the dollar, carefully wrapped it up and put it in his arms. Then he raised his head and met Deng Rencheng's scrutinizing gaze with a simple smile. "Then... I'm leaving. Captain Deng, don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this. I understand."

Deng Rencheng lowered his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man for a long time before revealing a false, eager smile. "As long as you understand, it's fine. Our Master Hong may not be as generous as Master Liu, but he still pays what he deserves. He's definitely not selling fake stuff. Look, just by leading the way, he's made so much money. It's enough for you to earn for a year." Deng Rencheng patted the middle-aged man's shoulder. "Our Master Hong is so kind. Don't let him down."

After the middle-aged man left, Deng Rencheng stared at his back, put away the smile on his face, and snorted coldly.

"Captain Deng, you knew he was dishonest, so why did you give him money? It's so much money, it's not worth it!"

After everyone left, the only ones left were his own people. Deng Rencheng's subordinates naturally had a good relationship with him, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they asked him some questions out of curiosity.

Deng Rencheng glanced at the soldier and shook his head. "You don't understand, do you? This man is dishonest, how can I not see that? Foolish man, of course I came here to see what kind of trap this number one manager under Master Liu has set for me."

"Then there must be a conspiracy behind this banyan tree, Captain. We've all been working in vain, and this trip has been in vain!"

Deng Rencheng looked around the tree several times but couldn't see anything wrong. He rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the tree and walked around it again.

Although Deng Rencheng looked like a sinister villain, tall, thin and weak, he was also a good tree climber. He could easily climb branches as thick as a human arm like a monkey.

Feng Lan silently watched Deng Rencheng knocking and hitting her body.

"Strange, there's nothing wrong with this. Could it be that this is a fake tree?"

Deng Rencheng looked around but couldn't find any problems with the tree. He brainstormed in his mind and then shifted his gaze to the ground.

This tree looks so good, perfect from the trunk to the crown. Although Deng Rencheng doesn't know much about landscape trees, he knows that such a perfect tree will probably look good in the eyes of those rich and powerful people who like to be elegant. In this case, there is only one explanation: this perfect tree will not live long!

"Dig up the ground nearby!"

If the roots of a tree are rotten, then even if it looks bright and beautiful, it will not live long. Many bad ideas suddenly popped up in Deng Rencheng's mind.

They dig up some of the rhizomes, add some pesticides, inject poison into the tree, and apply some decay-inducing poison to the tree. If people stay there for too long, they will slowly die...

"Captain, there's a body!"

Deng Rencheng's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Great, he knew that this damn Liu Biesan was full of bad intentions!!!
