On the outskirts of Liuli City.

After reaching an agreement with the Shen brothers in Shangli Village that day, Chen Hongru did not return directly to Liuli City, but waited for the night in front of a dilapidated thatched hut on the outskirts of the city.

Sitting around the fire, Chen Hongru turned his head to look into the distance from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

"Why did you contact me all of a sudden?"

At this time, a mysterious man wearing a hat and a black cloth covering his face stood outside the hut.

Chen Hongru, who was sitting in the room, heard this, but he didn't mean to move at all, and stretched out his hand to bake the fire, "Chen Boyuan's old mallet is probably about to end." ”

"What do you mean?" The mystery man asked.

"Yesterday, Chen Muyun suddenly gathered manpower and attacked Shangli Village outside the city, and crookedly took a grain storage point for merchants and bandits in the city, and I heard that he also arrested an account room and went back, it is estimated that Chen Boyuan colluded with merchants and bandits, and it is about to thunder!"

"That's not a good thing for us." The mysterious man suddenly became interested, "Then you are not just right, taking this opportunity to control the inner door?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Hongru sneered coldly: "What do you want!" I control the inner door, and there is no such thing. ”

"You have been working hard in the inner gate for so long, and you have been reused by Chen Boyuan, haven't you won one or two elders to support you?"

"Heh......" Chen Hongru smiled self-deprecatingly, "You really look up to me, although Chen Boyuan's old mallet is stupid, but he is not stupid, he will never reuse people who are smarter than himself, if Chen Duan died unexpectedly this time, he has no one who can use it, and I will not suddenly take the position, this is Chen Boyuan's way of controlling people."

Then there are those elders of all sizes, who look stupid and stupid on weekdays, but when it comes to the benefits of monkey spirits and monkey spirits, Chen Boyuan has the status he has now, and he spent a lot of money to smash it out.

I have no power, no power, and no wealth, what do you want me to use to entrap them? Do you rely on filial piety? Being able to develop those four downlines is already an extraordinary performance. ”

Chen Hongru paused and continued: "Moreover, I suspect that Chen Boyuan has been watching out for me, before I asked him to make fake accounts and let the businessman use IOUs to force Chen Muyun to comply, the original intention was to make Chen Muyun jump off the wall in a hurry and fight with Chen Boyuan, so that we can make a profit." ”

"But that old mallet didn't hand over all the ledgers, and that Chen Muyun is not a waste as rumored, on the contrary, I think he is more difficult to deal with than that Chen Boyuan."

"And what do you mean by calling me out?"

The mystery man asked.

"I asked you to come out to let you tell the master, I found Brother Shen He, if Chen Boyuan is finished, if he wants to consume Chen Muyun, it is estimated that he will have to rely on them, and then there is the master to help settle one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Shen, I lost a batch of goods for the Xue family, and I was worried that the Xue family would retaliate, so I asked the master to come forward and settle the matter."

The mysterious man took a deep breath, nodded, and then asked, "Have you found out about the matter of Sword Venerable?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Hongru shook his head helplessly, "It's not clear." ”

"Still not clear? What is the meaning? ”

The mystery man was a little puzzled.

"I sent people to test Jianzun twice, but they were all killed."

Chen Hongru stretched out his hand to lean against the fire, without the slightest emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

"Sword Venerable killed?"

"I'm not sure, the man is dead, but he was killed by a knife, so I can't be completely sure, and ...... I always had a hunch that someone within the Chen family seemed to be eyeing me. ”

"Is there anything else going on besides that?"

"That's all for now."

"Jianzun's matter, I will inform the master, as for the Chen family, you still need to figure out your own way, the master can't get involved in the Chen family's affairs too early."

With that, the mysterious man turned and left.

Chen Hongru looked at the direction he was leaving and smiled, "Hmph, figure it out yourself, you said it lightly." ”

……

Liuli City, Liuxiang Garden.

After returning to the city, Chen Muyun originally planned to come and see how the progress of Liuxiangyuan was, but he didn't expect that something happened again.

In an uninhabited house, Chen Muyun saw two bodies that had been transferred by Zhou Tianfang.

As Zhou Tianfang said before, judging from the dress, the two are indeed disciples of the inner gate.

However, because the corpse had been dead for too long, several outer disciples who had seen the corpse could not confirm the identities of these two people.

But when examining the cause of death, Chen Muyun was attracted by the scar on the neck of the two.

This kind of knife wound, he happened to have seen before.

It was the same wound as the two people who died in the woods of Shangli Village before.

"Shangli Village, Liuxiangyuan ......"

Chen Muyun muttered to himself.

Two different locations, the same knife wound, are also inner disciples.

Fragmentary pictures kept emerging in Chen Muyun's mind.

He tried to find a connection between them.

After a while, a thought flashed through me.

Sword Venerable!

For this idea, even Chen Muyun himself was surprised.

If anything, there must be some connection between these two times.

Jianzun was present on the trip to Shangli Village, and the two corpses appeared in Liuxiangyuan, which was only a short distance away from Chen Boqing's outer house.

Thinking about it, after being killed, he threw the corpse to leave the Xiangyuan, but he didn't expect that he chose this place to start construction and dug up the corpse.

Before, Chen Muyun had always suspected that the two people in Shangli Village were going to assassinate him.

Now it seems that he is thinking too much.

At this time, Chen Muyun suddenly waved his hand and walked away from the outer disciples beside him.

Then, he said to Zhou Tianfang: "Their target is Sword Venerable. ”

"Huh? Sword...... Sword Venerable! ”

Zhou Tianfang, who didn't know why, was confused when he heard it.

So, Chen Muyun told Zhou Tianfang his thoughts.

I saw that he was a little unconvinced.

Chen Muyun also told Zhou Tianfang about the previous message from Feishi asking him to find Zhao Haisheng to help check the accounts.

"You mean that there have been people secretly helping you."

Chen Muyun nodded.

"Young Master, could it be that the Great Elder sent it?"

"Chen Boyuan?"

Chen Muyun shook his head.

Judging from the previous impression, a timid person like Chen Boyuan is not like a person who can do this kind of thing.

Even if you do, after the first failure, you must be a man with your tail between your legs, and you will never do it a second time.

Therefore, from this point of view, it should not be Chen Boyuan.

Then in this way, the problem is serious.

This shows that in this glazed city, there is another force that is secretly making trouble for Chen Muyun.

This is also the reason why Chen Muyun refused to directly invest his family in Liuli City at the beginning.

"Young master, do you want to find some people to protect the safety of Sword Venerable as before?"

Hearing this, Chen Muyun shook his head.

"No, does Sword Venerable still need someone else to protect him?"

Although, Chen Muyun knew that Chen Boqing was actually not bullshit.

But the more at this time, the more you have to show that you don't care at all.

No matter what the intention of these people was to approach Sword Venerable, their purpose was to weaken Chen Muyun.

Once the Sword Venerable's guard is strengthened, it will give the other party a hint that the strength of the Sword Venerable is weak.

What's more, isn't there another force secretly helping him?

"Boss Zhou, find a few clever ones, dispose of the corpse, and don't let the Great Elder know, lest something happen to you."

"Obey orders, but the young master ......"

Zhou Tianfang wanted to say something.

But Chen Muyun waved his hand confidently.

"Don't worry, Sword Venerable is not as fragile as you think......"
