After leaving Liuli Palace, Chen Hongru did not pursue Chen Shun and others as Chen Boyuan expected.

Instead, he headed straight towards the main street in the south of the city.

In his opinion, Chen Boyuan's failure is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to waste time on a person of no use value.

Right now, time should be spent on people who are likely to generate value.

Just like the Shen brothers!

The Shen brothers had already agreed to the plan to sneak attack Liulicheng. According to the time, the Shen brothers should have arrived near Liulicheng.

So what he needs to do most at the moment is to ensure that the plan is foolproof.

After arriving at the main street, Chen Hongru keenly noticed something was wrong.

The people patrolling the streets were actually not people from the outer gate, but civilians holding gongs in their hands.

Not only that, even the people guarding the city gate were replaced by these people, and there were quite a few of them.

"What's going on?"

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Chen Hongru's heart.

Although these people were vulnerable, they still had the numerical advantage. Chen Hongru was not naive enough to kill a group of people at the same time.

Thinking of this, Chen Hongru did not alert anyone, and instead came to a hidden secret passage nearby.

But as soon as I got here, I found that this place had already been guarded by people from the outer gate.

"Damn it!"

Chen Hongru not only cursed secretly in his heart.

He didn't expect that Chen Muyun actually knew about the secret passage.

Then, Chen Hongru went to several nearby secret passages. As expected, they were all guarded.

The entrances and exits of the secret passages everywhere are very narrow. If the Shen brothers come in, it will be like catching turtles in an urn.

But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired!

Chen Hongru thought briefly and made a decision.

…

In front of a secret passage, several outer disciples were squatting alternately.

The late autumn night was very cool, and several people couldn't help but rub their bodies to keep themselves warmer.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the side streets and alleys, attracting the attention of several outer disciples.

After a while, Chen Hongru appeared in front of several people, humming a little tune, carrying a pot of wine in one hand and a side dish in the other.

"Hey, you are here, making it easy for me to find you!"

Chen Hongru came to several people talking to himself.

"Young master, you are really considerate. I will not forget you in the Liuli Palace. Look what I have brought for you."

Chen Hongru put his wine and food on the ground.

When the paper package wrapping the side dishes was opened, a unique aroma of meat filled the air.

Although the situation of the outer disciples has changed after Chen Muyun arrived, after all, their meat diet is very limited.

Several outer disciples have not seen meat and wine for a long time.

At this moment, one of the few people, a young outer disciple, stared at the meat and wine on the ground with eyes wide open.

"Come on, the young master asked me to get this for you, eat it quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, the younger outer disciple was about to take action.

"Wait a minute!"

Among the few people, a man who looked like a captain suddenly stopped him.

He had been ordered to monitor Chen Hongru and knew that this man was unfavorable to the city lord.

In this case, it is impossible for the city lord to let him deliver things.

What's more, after getting the task of guarding the secret passage, Xu Changgeng repeatedly emphasized that the matter was of great importance.

How could the city lord tell someone like Chen Hongru about such an important matter?

"Why, you don't eat what the young master gave you?"

Seeing that several people were unmoved, Chen Hongru suddenly spoke to persuade.

"I've been busy for so long, come and take a rest!"

Saying that, Chen Hongru reached out to pull an outer disciple beside him.

"Back off!"

The captain shouted suddenly, and then put his thumb on the back of the knife, as if he was about to take action at any time.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing!"

Chen Hongru looked frightened.

"I told you that you can't trust me, but the young master still doesn't believe me!"

"Fortunately, our young master is smart and asked me to bring you something. I said you will believe it once you see it!"

"Something? What something?"

The captain had a look of astonishment on his face.

"Wait until I get it for you..."

Chen Hongru pretended to be groping in his arms for a while.

Just after several people's attention was attracted, Chen Hongru suddenly sprinkled a handful of stone powder from his arms.

Several people were caught off guard and were beaten up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Hongru suddenly pulled out a delicate short sword from his waist.

He walked up to a few people like a ghost, pointed at the neck, and raised the knife with his hand.

In the blink of an eye, several outer disciples were covered in blood!

Chen Hongru swung his sword to shake off the blood on the blade, and smiled coldly at the corpses of several outer disciples.

"Hmph, quite smart, what a pity! It's just that the strength is a bit lacking..."

Afterwards, Chen Hongru hid the bodies of several people. After confirming that no one had discovered them, he turned around and entered the secret passage...

at the same time.

Inside the Liuli Palace.

After getting the news, Zhou Tianfang led people to escort the accounting clerk caught in Shang Licun, and rushed to the Liuli Palace with Wan Liben and others.

After meeting Wan Liben, Chen Boyuan knew that he was finished.

He suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, and now he no longer had the momentum he had just now.

Several people were escorted and knelt in the center of the main hall.

Chen Muyun slowly came to the accounting room.

"Come on, tell me what you told me before in Shangli Village with the elders of the Chen family!"

Although Wan Liben and others knew that Chen Muyun was not easy to mess with, they were more afraid of the Sword Master.

But the accountant was different. He had really experienced Chen Muyun's ruthlessness!

For this reason, he did not hide anything at the moment, just like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, he made it clear how Chen Boyuan colluded with the Shen brothers and allowed the Shen brothers to plunder the villages around Liulicheng!

After hearing this, the elders and elders of the Chen family all looked astonished.

"This...is this true?"

Chen Shidao looked at Chen Boyuan with a look on his face.

However, the latter had an empty expression on his face. It was obvious that Chen Boyuan had given up struggling.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you ask them."

Chen Muyun said, walking up to Wan Liben and others.

At this point, Wan Liben and others also realized that Chen Boyuan's downfall was imminent, and they did not hide it at the moment.

With the support of several businessmen, Chen Boyuan's charges were confirmed.

At this moment, both the elders of the Chen family and even the inner disciples present were greatly disappointed with Chen Boyuan.

"Huh huh huh..."

At this time, Chen Boyuan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly sneered for no reason.

"Okay, that's really good. Today I finally know what it means to be pushed down by the wall."
