"You big liar! I'll lead you to fight!"
A moment later, Bai Cang left the courtyard cursing, deeply sensing the malice.
Not to mention copper coins, Zhanghe's courtyard is so clean that even mice would weep at its sight.
What's wrong with this world? I keep asking myself: Can things ever get better? Where is the most basic trust between people?
But Bai Cang had no choice but to accept this painful reality: the sugar daddy had run away with the bucket.
They carried all their belongings from the entire courtyard and ran away overnight.
With his escape route cut off, he had no choice but to consider the potentially lucrative option of "borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates."
Moreover, the information Zhang He provided was indeed detailed: it included not only background investigations of each gang member, but also precise markings of their secret hideouts.
It's practically tempting him to commit a crime!
However, Bai Cang did not rush into anything. He waited patiently for several days before tentatively going out for a stroll.
However, they never went far, but instead probed around the Sanyin Temple.
Moreover, they always chose to do it at dusk, when the patrol guards in the Sanyin Temple were changing shifts, to be at their most vigilant and manpower-rich time.
Make sure that if he encounters danger and escapes back to the Sanyin Temple, he can receive the strongest support.
Several days passed before Bai Cang began to slowly expand his wandering area and conduct preliminary reconnaissance.
Seven days later, Bai Cang finally gathered 324 strands of true energy, completely connecting the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and officially entered the "late stage of the second tier".
At the third watch of the night, Bai Cang finally could no longer tolerate the "snail's pace" and secretly slipped out of the Sanyin Temple.
The Sanyin Temple is heavily guarded, but it generally adheres to the principle of "not dealing with external matters, but with internal ones."
Bai Cang was wearing the blue Taoist robe of an inner courtyard disciple, so the night patrol guards naturally dared not question him.
However, as soon as he left the Sanyin Temple, Bai Cang took off his blue Taoist robe, revealing a set of tight-fitting clothes for night travel.
As the saying goes: Good rain knows its season, falling when spring arrives. It follows the wind into the night, silently nourishing all things.
A light drizzle falls, and the paths and clouds are all dark.
Bai Cang knew the way well and soon arrived at a large courtyard.
The area may appear to be home to a diverse number of residents, but this is actually a cover.
In reality, it was a secret stronghold of a small gang in Guobei County.
This small gang's main "business" was lending money at exorbitant interest rates to wealthy families in the city.
In fact, most of the "targets" Zhang He gave to Bai Cang were similar to this situation.
It has some background, but not much; it has some strength, but not much.
"The strongest member of the Green Wolf Gang is only an external martial arts expert, barely qualifying as a third-rate fighter."
Looking at the courtyard dotted with lights, Bai Cang silently reviewed his plan in his mind, "And most of the time, he doesn't stay in this secret hideout, but lives in his mistress's house."
"A dozen or so local thugs who have practiced farming skills are a piece of cake for me."
Bai Cang tried to cheer himself up, but he still couldn't help but feel his heart racing.
After all, he had been a law-abiding citizen for two lifetimes. When had he ever done anything like robbery?
Nervousness was inevitable, but his hand holding the octagonal hammer remained motionless and frighteningly steady.
What? You're asking why we don't use a more suitable weapon?
Is the gilded bronze vajra so conspicuous because it's designed to prevent others from finding the "real culprit"?
"That woman was really sexy last night."
"What? You're still reminiscing about it?"
"Don't you reminisce? Stop pretending to be so righteous."
"Exactly, you even made us hold her man down and make him watch you do it, you're the worst kind of animal..."
Bai Cang tiptoed over the courtyard wall and hid in the shadows.
Hearing the sounds drifting in from the main room, his eyes immediately turned cold.
He was somewhat guilty about his actions.
But I never expected these beasts to be so inhuman.
It's one thing to lend money at exorbitant interest rates, but to actually "abduct women"?
Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice left?
Even "Master Bai" knows to turn off the lights and cover his face when doing bad things, yet they still judge other people's husbands?
Ugh! Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!
Even if it costs a little money, it won't be much, it's not like we don't have money.
Just then, the door to the main room was suddenly pushed open.
Two rascals staggered out the door, stood under the eaves, and pulled down their trousers.
"Damn! That's an eyesore!"
Bai Cang was furious: I just wanted to steal some money from you, and you actually used Ice Soul Silver Needles to attack my eyes?
Who the hell can withstand this magical damage?
Bai Cang leaped forward, his arm like a whip, wielding an octagonal hammer, and swung it at the two ruffians.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled thuds sounded at the same time, and the two rascals fell asleep immediately, getting a sleep like babies.
"Pah! You got off easy!"
Bai Cang suppressed the urge to deliver the final blow and rushed into the house like the wind.
"who?!"
A furious shout rang out, and with a "whoosh," more than a dozen strong men stood up at the same time, hurriedly picking up stools and other "weapons."
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The next second.
The room was filled with the shadows of hammers, and the howling wind and the muffled sounds rose almost simultaneously.
In less than two breaths, the dozen or so hooligans in the room had fallen into a deep, baby-like sleep.
"A bunch of bastards!"
Bai Cang glanced at it coldly, then headed straight for the inner room without delay.
After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, he picked up a small box and quickly walked out.
They burst through the door, took down their prey one by one with a single blow, and left laden with spoils!
The entire process was smooth and efficient, truly "professional"!
After turning through several alleys, Bai Cang still felt his heart beating rapidly.
It's not fear, it's excitement!
In all his past and present lives, this was the first time he had ever done something so "bad".
"It's alright, practice makes perfect!"
Bai Cang leaned against the wall, comforting himself in a low voice, "I'm acting on behalf of Heaven. These scum deserve it. It's already too good for them not to kill anyone."
My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are righteous.
Yes! That's it.
Robin Hood's act of robbing the rich to help the poor is something heroes do; how can it be called robbery?
They commit evil deeds, and I am so poor. It's reasonable for me to rob their riches to help my poor.
"Besides, I didn't say a word, not only was my face covered, but I also padded my clothes with something. I was quick, ruthless, and accurate, so no one should be able to recognize me... right?"
Bai Cang muttered a few words to himself, feeling that he had done his job properly, before squatting down to open the small box.
Inside, besides a few silver notes and a pile of loose silver, there was a thick stack of IOUs.
Bai Cang casually flipped through a few pages, his anger growing stronger.
There was even an urge to turn back and beat those beasts to a pulp one by one.
It wasn't until he encountered a real loan shark that he realized just how "fair" "Father Zhang's" nine departures and thirteen returns truly were.
Among these IOUs, there are countless instances of eight out of sixteen returns, seven out of eighteen returns, and seven out of twenty-three returns.
Bai Cang casually flipped through the pages and found that there were very few pages with the "Nine Out and Thirteen Back" pattern.
Moreover, many IOUs contain clauses about selling one's children.
It even directly indicated places like "Yihong Courtyard" and "Cuiliu Garden".
"These heartless maggots deserve to die!" Bai Cang suddenly regretted not being lenient with his hands.
"Tear!"
Bai Cang tore all the IOUs to shreds in a few quick movements, then stomped them through the mud to make sure no trace was left.
Only then did they begin to tally up the gains from this "acting on behalf of Heaven".
Twenty-eight taels of loose silver, four fifty-tael silver notes, and twenty ten-tael silver notes.
"Only four hundred taels of silver? They won't even give me five hundred?"
Bai Cang looked at the large bundle he had specially prepared and couldn't help but feel speechless.
I've already prepared a whole "snake-skin bag" (a large, heavy bag), and this is what you show me?
Having become accustomed to "Zhang's father's" extravagant spending of at least a thousand taels, Bai Cang felt as if he were a bit like "let them eat cake."
"It's alright! Little by little, it adds up!"
"This is just the weakest one. It's normal for them to be poor. There are more than a dozen others behind them."
Bai Cang comforted himself and quickly walked to the next house.
Like a hardworking little squirrel, they are rushing to their "granary".
As the saying goes: Heaven rewards diligence.
Hardworking people will always be blessed by God.
"It's so easy to make money through lending!"
Half an hour later, in the inner courtyard of the refined residence.
Bai Cang looked at the pile of gleaming silver coins and the thick stack of silver notes in front of him.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Thank you for the gifts of nature!"
