Chapter 46: Confrontation
Chen Muyun held his hands and slowly came to Chen Boyuan's side.
"Uncle just said that I acted perversely, contrary to the ancestral teachings, killed the clansmen, and released grain and grass privately, I want to ask the uncle, whether it is killing people or putting grain, what is the wrong thing I did?"
At this moment, Chen Boyuan, who had already lost the momentum, instead of admitting it, was arrogant.
"You leaked the matter of the granary in the north of the city to the outside world, inciting public sentiment, and ignoring the interests of the Chen family, just to raise your own prestige, is what I said wrong?"
"School martial arts, you deliberately instigated the confrontation between the inner and outer doors, and connived at your subordinates to kill Chen Duan, this is a thing for all to see, even if Chen Duan is wrong, there are clan rules and family laws, and you are the law to nothing, isn't it your fault?"
The failure of this poisoning seems to have made Chen Boyuan seem to be much more transparent and understand the benefits of taking the lead in taking the lead.
He said that the grain release and Chen Duan's death were trivial, so that the problem was all Chen Muyun's.
And those elders in the Chen family, thanks to Chen Boyuan's grace, live a pampered life all day long, and know a little about outside things, but not much.
At this moment, after Chen Boyuan said this, although they did not express their position, it can be seen that they still believe in Chen Boyuan.
Seeing this, Chen Muyun smiled contemptuously, "I'm inciting public sentiment? ”
"What if it weren't?"
"The people have no grievances in their hearts, how can they be instigated if I want to?" Chen Muyun looked at Chen Boyuan with a cold gaze, "I would like to ask you, uncle, how did a huge glazed city, a big city with more than 100,000 people in its heyday, get to this field." ”
"The people in the city are poorly clothed and hungry, and you, who are guarding the granary until the people live and die, still want to be the lord of Liuli City?"
"That's the food of our Chen family! If you take the Chen family's grain to feed outsiders, you are a white-eyed wolf! ”
"It's a good grain for the Chen family, then let me ask you, where does the Chen family's grain come from, where does the Chen family's money come from to buy grain, isn't it because the people in the city pay taxes?"
Chen Boyuan's intention is very clear, that is, to speak from the position of the Chen family, he wants to let those elders understand that as long as they can be in charge, then they will all benefit indispensably.
Once we can win their support, there may be room for change in this situation.
Moreover, these elders, who are used to eating and taking cards, seem to be very happy with Chen Boyuan's set, and they are ordered to discuss it below.
However, Chen Muyun had already seen through this careful thinking.
"What if there is a riot in the city?"
"Hmph, just ordinary people dare to do it right to my Chen family?"
"If you don't have enough to eat, who cares about life and death!"
"Then kill."
"How many kills?"
"Whoever dares to rebel will be killed."
"Uncle is really arrogant!"
Chen Muyun couldn't help but shake his head.
Then, his face sank, "Then if these 30,000 people are all reversed, can you kill them all?" ”
"Kill this glass city and become a dead city? Are you sure you can use the more than 600 people of the Chen family to turn the tables? ”
"I thought you were stupid before, but now it seems that you are not only stupid, you are also stupid!"
"You ......"
Chen Boyuan was stunned for a while.
"I released grain, but I stabilized the surging people's feelings, so as not to let these 30,000 hungry people riot, and now in the city, there are still hungry people who fight because of a little food, and do not hesitate to hurt people's lives?"
"Moreover, now the granary in the north of the city has abundant grain, enough to supply the people in the city for several months, and I put the grain of the Chen family, but the more I put the grain, the more I put it, the more it is."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Boyuan was completely speechless.
Although he knew what was going on with the grain, he couldn't say it for sure.
"As for Chen Xuan." Chen Muyun's words changed, "He has no respect for his elders and insults his peers, just with these two points, it is not too much for me to kill him ten times!" ”
Chen Muyun looked at Chen Boyuan coldly.
"As far as I know, it's not a matter of a day or two that Chen Duan is rampant, I want to ask the Great Elder, since the clan rules and family law you mentioned exist, how can a person like Chen Duan be able to get away with it today."
What happened to Chen Duan, everyone present actually knew it, but because Chen Boyuan's power was too big at the beginning, and he had been constantly giving benefits to the elders, no one said anything.
But Chen Duan's domineering is not limited to the outer disciples, and sometimes he will bully the people in the inner door.
It's just that many of the inner disciples have the protection of elders, so Chen Duan didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
At the beginning, after Chen Muyun killed Chen Duan in the school martial arts field, some disciples of the inner sect also let out a breath of hunger.
Bringing up this matter again today, some of the inner disciples present were not only disgusted with Chen Boyuan.
Seeing that everyone's mood had turned around, Chen Muyun smiled evilly.
"What the Great Elder wants to ask, are you done?"
"Humph!"
Chen Boyuan snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.
Apparently he had nothing more to say.
"In that case, then I would like to ask the Great Elder, how did the hungry people in the city come here?"
"I don't know!"
Chen Boyuan put on a posture of a dead duck's mouth, and directly chose to die and not admit it.
"You don't know?"
"Isn't it because you are eager for quick success and quick profit, so that the people abandon agriculture and mulberry to smelt refined iron, resulting in the abandonment of farmland and famine."
The rest of the elders actually knew about this matter, because they also reaped a lot of benefits in this matter.
After hearing Chen Muyun mention it, they lowered their heads one by one, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"The refined iron smelted by the peasants, dare to ask the Great Elder how to deal with it?"
Chen Muyun's aggressiveness really made Chen Boyuan a little broken.
Seeing that he gritted his teeth, he replied: "Since there has been a famine for many years, how can there be any more money to collect those broken copper and iron!" ”
"Huh!"
Chen Muyun smiled contemptuously.
"So you colluded with Brother Shen He to poison the ...... around you"
"Enough!" Chen Boyuan suddenly interrupted angrily: "Chen Muyun, I warn you, there is no evidence...... You...... You don't want to spew blood. ”
That being said.
But everyone present could clearly feel that Chen Boyuan's momentum was insufficient.
This also aroused the curiosity of the rest
Although Chen Boyuan has monopoly power on weekdays and is a bit domineering, he is the great elder of the Chen family after all, and everyone still doesn't believe him when he says that he is in the same stream with a group of bandits.
At this time, Chen Shidao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up.
"That, Mu Yun, what you said is a big matter, don't say it in vain, you said that the Great Elder colluded with Shen He, this is to be evidenced!"
"That's right, it's a big deal, don't joke."
"It's ......"
Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Muyun smiled indifferently.
That's what he wants!
"Chen Xian!"
Chen Muyun shouted loudly.
"The subordinates are here."
"Bring me the witness!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked.
"Huh? True...... There are real witnesses. ”
"Could it be that the Great Elder ...... him?"
Everyone turned their attention to Chen Boyuan, who was standing in the field.
At this moment, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Boyuan's forehead.
He knew that Chen Boyuan had a certificate in his hand.
Because, today's banquet, as well as the rash action during the banquet, were all to block Chen Muyun's mouth.
Seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, Chen Boyuan was a little panicked.
He looked helplessly at the departing Chen Xian and the others, as if he saw that his end was coming.
Suddenly......
Chen Boyuan seemed to see a familiar face in the crowd.
Chen Hongru!
Chen Boyuan looked at Chen Hongru almost with a pleading look.
And the latter, apparently, also understands the meaning.
I saw him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he turned around and walked out of the main hall!
