Ding Ding Little Stone

Chapter 24 Bullying the Meek?

"What leverage?"

Tie Xuan's eyes flashed with a keen light. He leaned forward slightly, intrigued.

Huang Xing wanted to kill him, and naturally he wanted to kill Huang Xing.

The entire Ping'an County government knew about the feud between them. If the Huang family hadn't interfered, the position of head constable should have been his.

Whether in terms of merit or strength, he was superior to Huang Xing.

Chen Yuan weighed the pros and cons. What could he gain from destroying the Huang family?

With his strength, it would be difficult to get a share of the spoils.

However, if he didn't act...

Chen Yuan had a premonition that Huang Xing already had murderous intentions towards him. If he didn't strike first, he would be at a disadvantage.

Also, most importantly, although Chen Yuan suspected that the Huang family was colluding with the Wusheng Sect, he didn't have any evidence.

It would be difficult to harm the Huang family with mere accusations!

However, giving the Huang family some trouble, or rather, letting Tie Xuan deal with Huang Xing, seemed like a good option.

Although Chen Yuan's current strength could be considered decent among those at the Blood Refining realm, he was still somewhat lacking when it came to dealing with Huang Xing, who was at the Bone Forging realm.

"I have just received some information that the Huang family is secretly colluding with the Wusheng Sect!"

Chen Yuan lowered his voice, but it echoed like a thunderclap in the hearts of Tie Xuan and Tie Qinghua, who were stunned and unable to react for a long time.

After a long while, Tie Xuan suppressed his trembling, agitated heart, calmly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a gentle sip, and asked in a low voice:

"Is this true?"

Tie Qinghua didn't speak, but she was also staring at Chen Yuan, unable to suppress the joy in her eyes.

She knew how much her brother hated Huang Xing.

If the Huang family hadn't suppressed them from behind, the Tie family's foundation would definitely have been able to occupy a place in the south of the city. How could it be like it is now, only able to share those benefits with other forces?

Tie Qinghua had long been dissatisfied, but she could only suppress it due to the power of the Huang family.

Chen Yuan tapped the table with his fingers and smiled:

"Does Tie brother think this is something to joke about?"

"Is there any evidence?" Tie Xuan continued to ask.

"I haven't obtained any evidence, but I have a ninety-nine percent certainty. As for whether you believe it or not, it's all up to Tie brother..." Chen Yuan stared at him with a pair of deep eyes through the mask.

Hearing that there was no evidence, Tie Xuan frowned.

Empty words were not enough to bring down the Huang family, and might even lead to repercussions.

Seeing Tie Xuan's hesitant look, Chen Yuan said casually:

"This is a good opportunity for Tie brother. Since Huang Xing has signaled Song Laoliu to start taking action against the Tie family, then the next step will definitely be a swift and fierce attack."

"Moreover, Huang Xing must have already received the news that Song Laoliu failed. It's better to strike first."

"How much hatred does Yuan brother have with the Huang family? Why are you so eager to let Tie do something to the Huang family?" Tie Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"How much enmity the Huang family has with Tie brother is how much enmity I, Yuan, have. Moreover, the Huang family has something that is extremely useful to Yuan. I hope Tie brother can lend a hand when the time comes..."

Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

"Regarding this matter, Tie can only say that he will do his best. Without evidence, wanting to destroy the Huang family, hehe... it's difficult..." Tie Xuan gave a wry smile.

The Huang family was deeply rooted in Ping'an County and was deeply involved with County Sheriff Li Mingqi. It would not be an easy task to bring them down.

"Wasn't County Magistrate Wu already dissatisfied with the Huang family? Why doesn't Tie brother borrow some strength?" Chen Yuan pretended to know everything.

He had overheard this matter unintentionally from a drunken old yamen runner.

But when it fell into Tie Xuan's ears, it shocked him even more.

This man named Yuan actually knew so much about the situation in the county government.

Not many people knew about County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng's dissatisfaction with the Huang family.

If he wasn't Wu Qingfeng's confidant in Ping'an County, it would be difficult for him to know about this matter.

Most importantly, why did this man named Yuan mention this matter? Did he know that he could borrow strength through Wu Qingfeng?

What was his identity?

It should be known that on the surface, he was relatively distant from Wu Qingfeng. After all, his direct superior was County Sheriff Li Mingqi.

In fact, it was not difficult for Chen Yuan to guess this. Where there were people, there was a *jianghu*. Where there was a *jianghu*, there were factions. Since the Huang family had a deep relationship with Li Mingqi, how could Wu Qingfeng, as the head of the county, not cultivate some of his own confidants?

This Tie Xuan seemed aloof, but the Huang family had not been able to take him down for so long, and even thought about using some underhanded means to assassinate him, which proved that someone was protecting Tie Xuan.

After a careful deduction, Tie Xuan's backer emerged.

The reason why Chen Yuan wanted to attack the Huang family through Tie Xuan was because he had considered this point.

Think before you act!

"It seems that Yuan brother knows a lot..." Tie Xuan said.

Chen Yuan did not answer, but asked:

"What does Tie brother think of Yuan's suggestion?"

"Worth a try!"

......

......

Under the scorching sun, Chen Yuan struck a strange pose, and a faint golden light flowed around him. He seemed to vaguely feel the blood flowing in his body.

Blood Refining!

Chen Yuan was refining his blood.

After stepping into Blood Refining, Chen Yuan still didn't dare to slack off and tempered his blood and Qi every day.

After coming out of Song Mansion last night, Chen Yuan was waiting for the movement from the county government, hoping that County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng would not disappoint him.

Don't let the Huang family go because of concerns about Li Mingqi.

It was impossible for him to take action against the Huang family now. He could only borrow strength, and this would also better hide himself. Before he had enough strength to protect himself, Chen Yuan didn't want to show his face.

Ending his cultivation, Chen Yuan rinsed his body with cold water, feeling refreshed.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Chen Yuan walked calmly towards a restaurant. He didn't feel much before, but now that he had entered Blood Refining, his appetite had increased dramatically.

Each meal required four or five *jin* of meat to fill the hunger in his stomach.

Poor scholars and rich warriors, nothing could be more true.

"Shopkeeper, the usual..." Chen Yuan instructed and found an empty seat, waiting quietly for the waiter to bring the food.

"Constable, your meat..."

A waiter put a large plate of sliced pork in front of Chen Yuan with a smile, as well as a pot of wine.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and devoured the meat like a whirlwind, taking a large gulp of wine from time to time. Life was so pleasant.

After a while, Chen Yuan stood up, put down dozens of large coins, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the waiter stepped forward a little unnaturally and said in a low voice:

"Constable, the money is not enough."

Chen Yuan frowned and said displeased:

"Has the price gone up? It was still this price the other day."

"The price has not changed, but... Constable, you ate ten *jin* of meat, but only paid for five *jin*, and the wine..." the waiter said tremblingly.
