Chen Yuan looked at Tie Qinghua, his tone slightly raised, as if he had already guessed Tie Qinghua's thoughts.

"Since you know everything, why don't you act immediately and instead explain so much?" Tie Qinghua was not annoyed by being guessed, but rather maintained a forced calm.

To be able to control such a large business, forcing Song Lao Liu to resort to such underhanded means, how could Tie Qinghua be just a jealous woman as Song Lao Liu said?

Although her brother Tie Xuan supported her from behind, Tie Qinghua's mind was no weaker than ordinary people, and she quickly captured something from Chen Yuan's words.

"Madam Tie is indeed a clever person, haha, that's right, Yuan does not intend to kill Madam Tie. I can guess some of Song Lao Liu's plans."

"He wants to use me as a knife. After killing Madam Tie, I'm afraid he will immediately jump out and kill me, in order to give your brother Tie Xuan an explanation."

"Yuan has been in Jianghu for some years, how could I not guess his intentions?" Chen Yuan said calmly, without any sense of complacency.

"Then... does Your Excellency plan to let me go?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Tie Qinghua's eyes.

Who wants to die when they can live?

"That depends on what conditions Madam Tie can offer..." Chen Yuan's mouth curled into a smile.

"The surname Song offered one hundred taels for my life, then Qinghua will offer two hundred taels to buy my life. What does Your Excellency think?" Tie Qinghua said in a deep voice.

Chen Yuan shook his head:

"Inappropriate..."

Tie Qinghua frowned and whispered:

"Qinghua can only take out so much silver. The few gambling dens and brothels seem to be making money every day, but the real bulk of it has to be handed over to my brother to bribe the big and small officials of this Ping'an County."

"And we also need to keep some for cultivation. Moreover, the south of the city is not like the north of the city, which is unified by the Beihai Gang. There are also several forces restraining each other..."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, stopping Tie Qinghua's complaints:

"Twenty Tiger Bone Pills, in exchange for your life!"

"Tiger Bone Pills..." Tie Qinghua looked at Chen Yuan's unwavering eyes, seemingly impatient to bargain with her, and quickly nodded:

"Okay!"

"But... it takes time. Tiger Bone Pills are not like ordinary pills. No one in Ping'an County can refine them."

"How long will it take?"

"One month."

"Twenty days."

"Good!"

Tie Qinghua did not hesitate at all.

"In order to make our cooperation more harmonious, I believe Yuan doesn't need to say more, right?" Chen Yuan took out a small black porcelain bottle from his arms.

There were no patterns on it, just like an extremely ordinary bottle.

But Tie Qinghua dared not underestimate it.

Chen Yuan threw the porcelain bottle at Tie Qinghua. She opened the bottle, poured out a dark pill, and it gave off a faint fishy smell.

After a moment of silence, Tie Qinghua swallowed the pill and stared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan removed the long knife from Tie Qinghua's neck and said in a low voice:

"Madam Tie, don't think about finding someone to detoxify it. This is a poisonous pill that Yuan refined with seventy-two kinds of poisonous insects. It is rare in the world. It will lurk in the internal organs and cannot be found. Moreover, if there is no antidote within a month, it will invade the meridians and blood."

"Of course, if Madam Tie finds some panacea for detoxification, it is not without hope."

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Yuan. Qinghua understands." Tie Qinghua took a deep breath.

"That's good. Yuan is doing this to put both of us at ease."

Tie Qinghua stood up from the ground, ignored Chen Yuan's gaze, and used a silk ribbon to tighten the clothes that had been cut open in front of her, revealing her bouncing breasts.

"I want to know, why does Song Lao Liu want to kill me?"

"Brother Song just said that Madam Tie is a jealous woman who cannot bear children and does not allow him to take concubines. The few mistresses he kept outside were all killed by Madam."

"He doesn't want to suffer such grievances anymore, haha, of course... Yuan doesn't know the specifics!"

Tie Qinghua's eyes were full of anger:

"Why can't I bear children? Isn't it because of the past..."

Tie Qinghua stopped halfway through her words, obviously realizing that there was still Chen Yuan, an outsider, present.

Chen Yuan watched this scene with interest. He liked watching family dramas the most.

"Where is Song Lao Liu now?" Tie Qinghua was shrouded in murderous intent and a sense of sadness.

A day's husband and wife, a hundred days of grace; a hundred days of husband and wife, as deep as the sea.

Moreover, they had been husband and wife for more than ten years.

Song Lao Liu actually disregarded it and wanted to kill her.

Without her help, Song Lao Liu would still be that small gangster who hangs around in the world of thieves. How could he have the status and power he has now?

In the southern part of the city, mentioning Song Lao Liu is also a well-known figure!

"Now, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be guarding not far away. As soon as I succeed here, he will probably immediately come out and kill!"

Chen Yuan said.

"I want to question him face to face. Please help me, Brother Yuan." Tie Qinghua said in a low voice.

Chen Yuan nodded:

"Okay, Yuan has always been happy to help others."

Walking to the door, Chen Yuan gathered strength and slammed a palm on the door, making a huge noise. This sound seemed to be a signal.

In just an instant, Song Lao Liu's voice appeared not far away, shouting:

"There are thieves breaking in! Go and protect Madam!"

Immediately afterwards, three figures began to move towards the courtyard where Tie Qinghua was at an extremely fast speed. The guards of the Song residence were also alarmed.

Torches were lit, and shouts were incessant.

Listening to such sounds, Tie Qinghua's face became even more livid. What the surname Yuan said was right, Song Lao Liu wanted her life.

Otherwise, he couldn't have reacted so quickly.

When the surname Yuan mentioned it before, Tie Qinghua actually still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Song Lao Liu was not such a heartless person.

But now...

Chen Yuan did not leave, but slowly walked into the room, holding his knife and standing behind the screen, ready to watch the show.

Now that the Song residence was alarmed, it was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for Chen Yuan to leave quietly. Of course, he was not afraid of Tie Qinghua going back on her word.

With his current strength, as long as it wasn't a Bone Refinement realm cultivator, or an extremely strong existence in the Blood Refinement level, he would definitely not be able to stop him.

The Vajra Glazed Body, this divine art, brought Chen Yuan an increase that was not just talk.

He was able to rival Blood Refinement realm cultivators during the Skin Refinement realm. Although he had only refined his blood once, and the second Blood Refinement had not yet been successful, he was already among the strong at the Blood Refinement level.

In terms of strength alone, Chen Yuan even felt that he was enough to rival Iron Hand.

As for Bone Refinement realm warriors, Chen Yuan had not yet fought against them, but he thought that he should not be a match for them now.

But it didn't matter. It was impossible for the Song residence to have Bone Refinement realm warriors stationed there. Such masters would not deign to be a gatekeeper.

Jailer Tie Xuan was even more unlikely to live in the Song residence.

Chen Yuan still valued his own safety very much and would not put himself in danger.
