"You...you should ask...."

Song Laoliu wore a pained expression. He had wanted to speak when his first finger was crushed, but Chen Yuan didn't give him the chance, instead crushing all five of his fingers together.

But he just wouldn't ask!

Chen Yuan smiled and said:

"It's not too late to speak now. You still have a palm and a pair of feet."

That's right, Chen Yuan just wanted to torture Song Laoliu. If Chen Yuan hadn't been vigilant and seen through Song Laoliu's conspiracy, he might have really been tricked this time.

At that time, even if he said it was Song Laoliu who ordered it, others would think it was slander.

Ever since Chen Yuan knew that his cheat was killing people with luck, he had prepared himself to be a villain.

So he didn't have any psychological burden.

And the reason why he could change his thinking so quickly was because he was a selfish person even in his previous life, or rather, most people are selfish.

Heaven and earth punish those who are not for themselves!

As the saying goes, good people don't get rewarded, and bad people wear official hats.

In this extremely dangerous extraordinary world, Chen Yuan didn't want to be a saintly Buddha.

There are too many on Douyin; he's not needed.

Tie Qinghua also felt comfortable seeing Chen Yuan's deliberate appearance, and had already made up her mind to torture Song Laoliu, the bastard.

Song Laoliu gasped for breath and said in a low voice:

"It's Huang Xing."

"Who?"

"Huang Xing?"

Chen Yuan and Tie Qinghua asked at the same time.

"Yes, Huang Xing promised me that as long as I helped him kill Tie Xuan, these assets would be mine, and the Huang family would become my backer."

Song Laoliu dared not hide anything, fearing that this man named Yuan would crush his other hand into pulp.

He would rather die than endure that kind of pain.

"Killed my brother..." Fire flashed in Tie Qinghua's eyes.

She had been raised by Tie Xuan since she was a child. Her elder brother was like a father to her, and their relationship was very deep. So, hearing that Huang Xing's real target was her brother,

Tie Qinghua was instantly furious, and stabbed a bloody hole in Song Laoliu with a spear.

"How has my Tie family let you down? How could you treat us like this... and collude with outsiders to plot against my brother?" Tie Qinghua said through gritted teeth.

Song Laoliu looked ashamed, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He was afraid of further angering this crazy woman.

"Why does Huang Xing want to kill Tie Xuan?" Chen Yuan asked, frowning.

"I don't know...."

Chen Yuan stepped forward and raised his foot, about to stomp on his other hand.

"I... I really don't know...." Song Laoliu said anxiously.

"Then what else do you know?"

"I... I...."

"Since Huang Xing is helping you behind the scenes, why did you hire me to do it? The Huang family isn't short of Bone Refinement experts, right...."

Chen Yuan continued to ask.

"You... you are a pawn."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, thinking that made sense.

If everything went according to Song Laoliu's plan, he was just a pawn, someone to kill to explain to Tie Xuan.

The Huang family wouldn't be willing to let a Bone Refinement expert become a pawn.

Moreover, all the Bone Refinement experts in Ping'an County are well-known. It wouldn't be difficult for Tie Xuan to find them. As for hiring experts from outside, the cost would be too high and not worth it.

Chen Yuan was just an idiot who happened to come to his door.

From the moment Chen Yuan met Song Laoliu, he had probably already been plotting.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything else out of him, Chen Yuan said goodbye. There was nothing else to see here.

"Madam Tie, Yuan is taking his leave...."

"Brother Yuan, walk slowly."

"Oh, right, Yuan also has some grudges with the Huang family. If your brother wants to take revenge on the Huang family, you can count Yuan in...."

When he found out that Huang Xing was involved behind Song Laoliu, Chen Yuan was actually very happy. After all, he had an ally.

And a Bone Refinement expert at that.

Chen Yuan had heard of Tie Xuan's reputation, which was like thunder to his ears. He was known as the number one Foundation Establishment expert in Ping'an County Yamen, stronger than Huang Xing.

He had a close relationship with Magistrate Wu Qingfeng.

Where there are people, there is a Jianghu (江湖 - martial arts world). Ping'an County Yamen was no exception. The two giants of Ping'an County Yamen, County Commandant Li Mingqi and Magistrate Wu Qingfeng, were two big factions.

Head Constable Huang Xing had a close relationship with Li Mingqi.

However, this was good news for Chen Yuan.

With Chen Yuan alone, he couldn't match the Huang family, but if you added Head Warden Tie Xuan and Magistrate Wu Qingfeng, then it was yet to be determined.

This might be Chen Yuan's way to break the situation.

Tie Qinghua was stunned for a moment, stared at Chen Yuan, and said:

"This humble woman will tell my brother what Brother Yuan said."

"That would be best."

Tie Qinghua: "But I don't know how to contact Brother Yuan. Do I have to wait until the Tiger Bone Pill arrives?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice:

"There are two stone lions in front of the Song Mansion. If Madam Tie wants to find me, tie a red ribbon to one of the lions. Yuan will come at night when he sees it."

There was no way he could reveal his address, otherwise Tie Xuan could easily guess his identity, and he didn't want to expose himself.

Remaining hidden was the most ideal way.

Undercurrents were surging in Ping'an County, and the heretics of the Wusheng Sect were lurking among them. Although it seemed to have subsided on the surface, Chen Yuan wouldn't be careless.

After all, Chen Ping'an died at his hands, and someone might take revenge.

"Okay...."

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't want to reveal his identity, Tie Qinghua was a little helpless, but she couldn't force him, so she could only nod her head to show that she agreed.

The breeze was getting cooler, and no candles were lit in the north of the city. Chen Yuan returned to the small courtyard where his home was located.

Lying in bed, Chen Yuan recalled what happened tonight.

It was okay; it didn't exceed his strength range and was all within his expectations.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong with today's actions, Chen Yuan recalled it several times, checking for gaps and omissions, including the conversation with Tie Qinghua.

Fortunately, Tie Qinghua wasn't a fool.

As for the poison pill he gave Tie Qinghua, it was just a pill made of herbs by Chen Yuan, without any toxicity. There was no way to find it.

Chen Yuan wasn't omnipotent; he just knew a little about everything.

There were no famous poisons in Ping'an County, and even if there were, he couldn't get them.

Moreover, with Tie Qinghua's methods, ordinary poison pills could be detoxified at a high price. Therefore, Chen Yuan would deceive Tie Qinghua.

This was also to ensure that Tie Qinghua didn't do anything that would make both sides unhappy.

In addition, the biggest gain today was getting a potential ally, Head Warden Tie Xuan.

If they really joined forces, it would be much easier for Chen Yuan to get the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl of the Huang family. Of course, Chen Yuan was also very wary of Tie Xuan.

Or rather, not just him, Chen Yuan had a deep sense of wariness towards everyone in this world.

This stemmed from Chen Yuan's sense of insecurity.
