Chapter Seventy-Four: Swarming

Ordinary people who work at sunrise don't feel much about the fall of the Chen family. The most likely feeling for them is that some of the shops they pass by every day in the market seem to be suddenly closed today.

This is not an uncommon thing.

There are so many shops in Shanghe City, and it has long been commonplace for them to open and close their doors and change hands. Ordinary people should eat, drink, drink, and do things, and neither do nor have the capital to pay attention to the changes in these stores.

However, if there is a little way, or it is a big mansion that has already taken a share of the pie in this huge business district, sooner or later, it will smell the fact that the Chen family has an accident according to some clues.

The Shanghe town guard did not deliberately block the news. After all, the downfall of a family, and its sudden demise overnight, without any warning or buffer, would almost immediately cause a chain reaction of all the deals involved in the family. Instead of hiding it, it is better to tell the families who are qualified and able to eat these transactions as early as possible, so that they can plan early and be ready to take over these transactions and stabilize the market.

Therefore, the families in the city who have ignited interest in this matter, and it is not difficult to get everything that happened to the Chen family by using a little channel to inquire.

Including the confused young master of the Chen family who led the wolf into the house, buried the lives of all the innocent people in the clan and even the house, and finally killed the sword mound on the spot along with the initiator behind it.

The Shanghe guards were not worried that anyone's loyalty to the dynasty would be shaken by this.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were always some voices in the powerful families who had always resisted the interference of the city defense array in their own homes, the changes in the Chen family would not have been delayed until the irreversible present.

The affairs of the Chen family may not be able to cause enough panic or deterrence to make these family forces open their doors to fully accept the interference of the city defense array, but they will inevitably become a little weight on the scale pole that is biased towards the side of the town guard.

And the most important thing is that Shanghe Town Guard knows that some stupid families have more or less colluded with outsiders behind their backs, but there is no evidence and they can't intervene directly. The matter of the Chen family can be regarded as a wake-up call, telling these lucky families what kind of fate it will be to seek skin with the tiger.

Of course, this is only one of the things that the Shanghe Town Guard is thinking about. For a powerful enough family, how to divide up the shops and businesses that were vacated due to the collapse of the Chen family is the most important thing at the moment. And in addition to this carnival-like partition, how to check and balance each family to avoid one dominance is the most troublesome thing for Shanghe Town at the moment.

After all, the tentacles of the Chen family have extended to reach the state capital farther away outside Shanghe City, and they have a monopoly on several trade routes. No matter which one it is, if it can take advantage of this mouthful, it is not impossible not only to sit in Shanghe City out of thin air, but even to grab a chair in the state capital to sit on.

This can be a good thing for the Shanghe Town Guard, and it can naturally turn into a bad thing.

All the families are ready to move, and the families that can afford to worship the cultivators, from the moment they heard the word Sword Shrine, they have already begun to show their sharpened fangs one after another, trying to take the biggest advantage from it-the relationship of the Sword Shrine is even more important than devouring the power of the Chen family.

So later, even though Changning and Lu Ming were hiding in a secluded inn, they were still irritated from time to time by Xiao Er's knocking on the door to send a prayer post.

The two of them did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, on the one hand, they knew that they were bright and open, and they did not feel the need for this, and on the other hand, they also kept their promises to let Shanghe Town guard feel at ease.

So not to mention those people who have hands and eyes in this place, even the families of second-rate forces, there is always a way to find out where the two of them are located.

There are many cultivators scattered outside who are worshipped by others, and there are many cultivators who have cultivated to reach the middle and third steps of the earthly character realm, but after all, they are extremely rare, and they are basically invited away by those wealthy families who are across one state and one prefecture. And those who can touch the three steps of the heavenly characters, now there are only a dozen or so people with their fingers on their faces, and they are only one or two in one state, and the families where they stay are inextricably linked to the dynasty.

The enshrinements of these families in Shanghe City are almost all in the lower three steps of the herringbone realm. So when two disciples from the Sword Shrine appeared in front of them and showed enough strength to kill the traitor of the outer way, the attention they were put into can be imagined.

This is only the fact that it depends on the fact that it is a traitor who kills and destroys the Chen family, if any one of them can invite them, they will naturally take the lead in the next bargain.

Not to mention that behind the two of them, for many people, only exists in the most unimaginable legends, unattainable sword mounds.

This is different from the ordinary worship of those loose cultivators, but really sitting at the top of this heaven and earth, even the imperial dynasty has to treat each other with equal courtesy.

Even if there is even the slightest possibility, this opportunity for an ordinary man to ascend to the sky in one step is a temptation that no family here can refuse.

Therefore, although it is just an ordinary inn that is secluded and simple, at this moment, the first floor is gathered, but it has almost included all the top clan leaders in Shanghe City.

The small one-story building, which is not large, is already full at the moment, full of seats or extravagant or calm, and no one is ordinary. Although there are many people, but no one dares to make a loud noise, although the industry is tilted against each other, and if it is a change of place, it is indispensable to talk about it, at the moment it is all harmonious, for fear that a little out of the ordinary thing will disturb the two upstairs and leave a bad impression.

And the shopkeeper who was born in an ordinary family is just an ordinary person, and at this moment, he is in a cold sweat like pulp. Where had he ever seen such a battle in his life? He didn't dare to offend these huge rich, and he was urged to hand over and over the upstairs with a prayer post, and with twelve points of caution, who knows if the two above would suddenly be annoyed and start killing.

Fortunately, the two people upstairs opened the door with an indifferent face every time, answered the post, closed the door, and didn't say a word next to them.

Don't say see, don't say no.

Besides, those two people were so good-looking, the shopkeeper felt that the cultivator immortals who only showed their scaly claws in the legends of the streets and alleys on weekdays were much cuter than the old men of those big clans.
