Chapter Seventy-Five: A Secret Buried in the Dust
Although there was some expectation of the result.
But when the words came out of Chen Zhong's mouth, Chen Muyun was still surprised.
"Young master, don't you want to ask, why did I poison the old city lord, and who instructed me?"
Being led by others has never been Chen Muyun's character.
Although he really wanted to know the whole story, he still restrained himself and acted as if he didn't care.
Seeing that Chen Muyun didn't talk, Chen Zhong said it to himself.
"The person who instructed me to poison the old city lord and push the glazed city to the edge of the cliff has always been the second elder!"
Second Elder again, in the past few days, whenever there is news of Liuli City, it can't get around Chen Bonian.
Chen Muyun couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
His second uncle is really a great talent, everything is related to him, but he can't see his shadow at all.
However, even though all the clues pointed to Chen Bonian, Chen Muyun did not fully believe Chen Zhong.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Chen Zhong's explanation seems to be a little too casual.
Maybe Chen Muyun thought too much, but his years of intelligence career made him understand that the information that was too easy to get was likely to have an invisible needle buried in it.
If you don't pay attention, you may hurt yourself.
"You say, behind all this is the second elder instigating, there is no basis for what he says, what about the evidence?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhong nodded, "Evidence...... There is no evidence that is too direct, but I am very clear about the inducement to force the Second Elder to make this risky move. ”
Chen Muyun still didn't answer.
And Chen Zhong glanced at Chen Muyun meaningfully, and slowly said that a secret that had been buried in his heart for many years!
The Chen family in Liulicheng used to be just a small family with no name.
Among the many forces in the north of the realm, it is not even a last stream.
Chen Laogou, who was the head of the family at the time, had three sons, Chen Boyuan, Chen Bonian, and Chen Boqing.
Among them, Chen Bonian is the one with the highest cultivation qualifications, and Chen Boyuan is a little worse, as for Chen Boqing, as he said before, before he married Tang Wan'er, he was a waste of firewood.
As the eldest son, Chen Boyuan has always been Chen Laogou, and he was cultivated as the successor of the Chen family, but unfortunately, Chen Boyuan has been uncertain since he was a child, and after he was jealous and broke his cultivation in order to fight for the wind again, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Chen Laogou.
As a result, Chen Bonian, as the second son, replaced his eldest brother's position in Chen Laogou's heart and was trained as the new master of the family.
But the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, the season is catching up, the Chen family is competing with the surrounding forces, the Chen family has been in a state of suppression because of its small power, and there is no one in the clan who can take the lead.
At this time, Chen Boqing accidentally rescued the dying Tang Wan'er, and after learning that Tang Wan'er was a peerless master, Chen Laogou came up with a plan to borrow Tang Wan'er's hand to revitalize the Chen family.
And Tang Wan'er also agreed to Chen Laogou's request because of Chen Boqing's life-saving grace.
Soon after, there was news that Chen Boqing had enlightened the Tao overnight, and after that, Chen Boqing and Tang Wan'er quickly got married.
The Chen family also has an extra Sword Venerable-level powerhouse!
Taking advantage of this situation, the Chen family not only successfully emerged among the forces in the north of the boundary, but also took advantage of the situation to win the largest "fat" Liuli City in the north of the world.
Since then, the Chen family has transformed into one of the top forces in the north of the world.
After entering Liuli City, the Chen family's family business became bigger and bigger, and Chen Laogou also forgot about Chen Bonian to the clouds.
turned to try to cultivate Chen Boqing, wanting to build him into the next city lord, because with the great god Tang Wan'er in his hand, he didn't worry that the Chen family would not prosper in the future.
On the other hand, Chen Bonian, as a genius in the former family, is the successor of the family.
It can be said that overnight, all the fame was taken away.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
This kind of psychological gap planted the seeds of dissatisfaction in Chen Bonian's heart.
After that, the Chen family had a grudge with the Zhang family in Happy Horse City, and a violent conflict broke out between the two families.
During this period, Tang Wan'er died unexpectedly!
It became a turning point for the Chen family.
The Chen family lost the blessing of the great god, Chen Laogou fell into confusion, in order to protect the Chen family, Chen Laogou and the Zhang family reached a reconciliation and died down.
In order to keep Chen Boqing's name as a sword.
Chen Laogou ordered him to be placed under house arrest in the name of sealing the sword.
The reshuffling of power made Chen Bonian see hope again, thinking that Chen Laogou would enable him again.
But what I didn't expect was that the person used by Old Chen's dog was Chen Boyuan, who had become half a waste.
missed the city lord candidate twice, and the psychological gap increased, which made Chen Bonian hate Chen Laogou.
From this, Chen Zhong was found, and the two conspired to poison Chen Laogou with the intention of usurping power and seizing the throne.
……
After listening to Chen Zhong's narration, Chen Muyun found that he seemed to be deliberately hiding something.
Among them, about her biological mother, Tang Wan'er's part.
After learning that Tang Wan'er died in battle, according to Chen Laogou's character, he should immediately support Chen Bonian, who has the strongest ability, why did he choose to settle for the next best thing, Chen Boyuan, who has become half a waste?
What's more, regarding the last part, Chen Zhong didn't say why he agreed to Chen Bonian's invitation to cooperate.
You know, the person he wants to poison is the head of the family he has served carefully for many years.
Chen Muyun's eyes were sharp and he looked at Chen Zhong.
In a trance, Chen Muyun seemed to think of something.
Trade!
The news that Chen Zhong deliberately hid was probably his bargaining chip, in order to force Chen Muyun to trade with him.
After clarifying this, Chen Muyun smiled confidently.
"What do you want from me?"
When Chen Zhong heard this, he clasped his fists with both hands, as respectful as usual, "Chen Zhong is innocent of death, and I just ask the young master to save the lives of my family." ”
mentioned his family twice, it seems that this is Chen Zhong's weakness, presumably Chen Bonian is using this to blackmail Chen Zhong.
"Yes, but ......" Chen Muyun paused for a moment and continued, "I need to know the whole picture. ”
"As long as my family is safe, Chen Zhong's life is the young master's."
"Yes, I'll send Boss Zhou to Liu Village later......"
"Young master, no." Seeing Chen Muyun's answer, Chen Zhong suddenly became a little excited, "Then please ask the young master, send Chen Gen and Chen Qingzhu to Liu Village, although Brother Zhou has some ability, he may not be able to bring my family back safely." ”
Chen Zhong's words are convincing, and it can be seen that he is not pretentious.
"Boss Zhou, I heard it."
Before the words fell, Zhou Tianfang appeared from the corner.
Zhou Tianfang has been secretly protecting Chen Muyun's safety.
But Zhou Tianfang, who got the order, was not in a hurry to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Muyun was relieved: "Don't worry, I believe that Chen Zhong will not do anything to me." ”
And Chen Zhong on the side also hugged his fists, "I'm tired." ”
After Zhou Tianfang left.
Chen Muyun slowly walked to Chen Zhong's side, "Can you tell me now?" ”
