"Why did the Li family provoke a dispute?" Shen Yuan frowned and asked.

"I... I don't know either." Lin Yuanwu replied.

"If you don't know anything, then what are you still alive for?" Shen Yuan's eyes turned cold and he was about to punch out.

"Wait, let me think about it." Lin Yuanwu's face changed and he said hurriedly.

"I accidentally heard from the elders of the main vein that this was deliberately provoked by the Li family, just to make the outer city chaotic." Lin Yuanwu thought for a moment and replied.

"Make the outer city chaotic?" Shen Yuan's heart sank, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Although the outer city looks poor, the interests contained in it are definitely not small.

As one of the three major families, the Li family has many assets in the outer city. How could a family do such a thing that damages its interests?

Unless, by making the outer city chaotic, the Li family can gain more benefits.

But this is even more unfeasible. The other forces cannot watch the Li family benefit and their own family suffer.

Especially as the most powerful city lord's mansion, it will not break the balance of Qinghu City.

"Do you...do you have anything else to ask?" Seeing the other party silent there, Lin Yuanwu felt a little anxious. He endured the severe pain and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

The other party could wait, but his injuries could not.

"By the way, you are just a branch. Why is the Lin family so good to you?" Shen Yuan came back to his senses and continued to ask.

"The young generation of the main branch of the Lin family is not talented, so they have to absorb and cultivate some branch disciples to expand the family.

Sir, I was also forced to do so. In order to let me integrate into the main branch, they even planned to marry the second elder's granddaughter to me and tie me to the main branch. It can be seen that they are vicious."

Lin Yuanwu's eyes showed resentment and said fiercely.

He is still an ungrateful wolf.

Shen Yuan was speechless for a while, but the other party's spirit of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens just to survive is worth learning.

"Well, there is one last question."

"You say, I will tell you everything I know." Lin Yuanwu's eyes burst into a strong desire to survive.

"Tell me how much silver you need to buy your life." Shen Yuan asked in a hoarse voice. Since he had made a move, he couldn't go back empty-handed.

"I, I can use all my wealth to buy my life. I only have one thousand taels on me now, and there are five thousand taels at home." Lin Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party still had requirements, he would still have a chance to survive.

"What a rich man." Shen Yuan cursed in his heart. He worked hard and risked his life to get tens of thousands of taels. This bastard didn't do anything and got so much silver.

"Lin Yuanwu, right? You are a talented disciple trained by the main branch of the Lin family. How come you have only so little wealth?"

"People who practice martial arts often have to spend all kinds of elixirs, which is very expensive. In addition, I have spent a lot of money to win over Bai Qinghao for the main branch during this period.

For example, if you still think it is too little, I can collect the rent of several houses and shops in advance, which adds up to 3,000 taels."

"Where are all the wealth in your house hidden?"

"I can't tell you first." Lin Yuanwu said weakly. This is the last chance to save his life. How could he let it go.

"Alas, that's a pity." Shen Yuan sighed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Crack.

He stepped on Lin Yuanwu's neck with one foot, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Lin Yuanwu stared at him with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack. His eyes were full of doubts, unwillingness, and resentment, and they lost their luster.

Shen Yuan searched for a while, and indeed found 1,000 taels of silver notes on Lin Yuanwu.

As for the silver in Lin Yuanwu's family, he was not going to take it.

Since we don't know where they are hiding, it will take a long time to find them.

And the news of his attack on the two people may have spread to the Lin family.

If we go there now, we may meet people from the Lin family.

Shen Yuan threw down five taels of silver. Unlike the Wang brothers, if you dirty someone's floor here, you have to pay one or two.

He closed the door gently, and his figure quickly disappeared.

······

On the street.

There were many people holding torches to dispel the darkness around them.

"Tell me, what happened?" A middle-aged man wearing black and red armor and exuding invisible evil spirits looked gloomy and said coldly at the driver who had driven the carriage before.

If they rushed back and something happened, it would naturally be none of their business.

But unfortunately, this was an attack on the carriage belonging to the city guards, so they would be responsible.

And the identities of the two people who were attacked were not ordinary, one was the son of the owner of a martial arts hall, and the other was a disciple trained by the family.

Liu Chongyang thought it was bad luck in his heart.

"Sir, I... I don't know." The driver looked terrified. He sent Bai Qinghao to the hospital for treatment and was brought back.

"The attacker was too fast. I heard the sound of the carriage exploding and a fight in the alley. Then I saw one person lying on the ground, and the other and the attacker disappeared."

"Sir Liu, the person who was able to subdue Bai Qinghao and Lin Yuanwu in one go is most likely a bone forging realm. I hope the city guards will send someone to search the area." A middle-aged man in brocade clothes and with an angry face said in a deep voice.

"Our senior brother was attacked while riding in a carriage. I also hope that the city guards will find the murderer as soon as possible." Zhuang Xiujie cupped his hands.

Bai Qinghao was not missing, so there was no need to search. As for why he came here instead of Bai Hongan.

As soon as the other party heard that his son was injured, he hurried over to check the injury, but he had no time to care about it.

"Don't worry, since this happened on an overnight train, our city guards will definitely be responsible to the end." Liu Chongyang replied, then he frowned and continued;

"But there is something wrong with the search."

"Master Liu, what does this mean? What's wrong with tracking down the murderer?" Lin Haiyuan said with a dark expression.

"It's curfew time now. A large-scale search may cause some chaos. On the contrary, it may disturb the murderer and make him hide deeper." Liu Chongyang shook his head with disdain.

The overnight carriage is just a secret income for the city guards, how can it be brought to the table?

Although everyone knows it well, the fig leaf must not be torn off.

If you ask me to search now, won't you let everyone in the city know about the curfew and the Checheng guards. When the city lord takes the blame, he will only be the one to take the blame, not these families.

"Master Liu, this is wrong. Catching the murderer as soon as possible is to protect the face of the city guards. Nephew Zhuang Xian, what do you think?" Lin Haiyuan said solemnly, while looking at Zhuang Xiujie.

Zhuang Xiujie frowned, with some displeasure in his eyes. Lin Haiyuan obviously wanted to drag him into trouble: "Elder Lin's words are serious. It's about to be ugly. It's really inappropriate to conduct a large-scale search."

"Like..." Lin Haiyuan was about to continue persuading, but was interrupted by Liu Chongyang;

"Don't worry, Elder Lin, the city guards will definitely give you an explanation."
