Chapter 106: Chapter 102 The Deaths of the Liu Family Siblings! (Please Subscribe)_2
Chen Yuan’s pupils constricted, “Dead?”
He had only ordered that the two of them be detained in the cells beneath the Arrest Room, and although there had been some punishment, he hadn’t considered taking their lives!
To appease Liu Shuanghe, he had gone all out against the Demon Sect members of the No-Life Sect in Cien Temple and had even promised to spare their lives as much as he could.
He had been planning to delay for some time until he was strong enough to confront Liu Shuanghe before taking action against the Liu Family. Unexpectedly, they had died!
Their lives and deaths were not important; what mattered was that Chen Yuan was unprepared, and moreover, with the siblings dead within the confines of the Arrest Room, there was no doubt that Liu Shuanghe would be furious.
...
Chen Yuan would bear the brunt of the Liu Family’s retaliation!
In an instant, Chen Yuan foresaw the consequences of this event.
While he did not fear the Liu Family, the feeling of being undermined like this frustrated him greatly!
“How did they die?”
Chen Yuan’s expression was gloomy.
“They died from poisoning,” replied Wang Ping truthfully.
“Has it been discovered who did it?”
Although he asked this, Chen Yuan had already pinpointed the likely perpetrator.
The one who could easily control the constables in the Arrest Room, knew the place like the back of his hand, and coveted the Liu Family’s assets, that person was practically leaping to mind!
Wang Ping hesitated before glancing at Chen Yuan and said in a low voice,
“I inquired with the constables on duty. After you left the Arrest Room last night, County Magistrate’s aides Xu Ping and Wu Yushan made a visit to the cells…”
A cold smirk pulled at Chen Yuan’s lips; Li Mingqi, that bastard, wasn’t even trying to disguise his actions, openly sending men to kill the Liu siblings and without fear of being found out by Chen Yuan.
Of course, perhaps Li Mingqi also understood that there was no need to hide anything from Chen Yuan. Not only because the disparity in strength and status between them was too great and any grievances could only be kept to oneself,
but also because Chen Yuan was smart enough to guess that it was him.
So, what was there to hide anyway?
What if it was guessed?
Did Chen Yuan dare confront him about it?
Li Mingqi was simply using his power to oppress him!
“Brother Yuan, what should we…”
Wang Ping looked worried.
He knew that Brother Yuan did not want any conflict with the Liu Family of Cao County, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him to deliver a message to Liu Shuanghe. Moreover, the person behind this incident was none other than the county magistrate.
Wang Ping didn’t know if Brother Yuan had somehow angered the magistrate, thereby triggering this predicament.
He was genuinely concerned about the situation Brother Yuan was in now!
After all, that county magistrate was one of the two giants of Ping’an County, a formidable figure of the Gang Condensation Realm, wielding incredible power and influence that Brother Yuan could not compare to at present.
And there was Liu Shuanghe, also a powerful Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist!
Only by stepping onto the path of Martial Arts does one realize the vast difference between each Realm, especially those of the Gang Condensation Realm, which are absolutely terrifying. How many such individuals can be found within Ping’an County?
“Heh… Li Mingqi.”
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
With an expressionless face and a gloomy complexion, Chen Yuan hooked a sneer at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself:
“Li Mingqi, if you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!”
If before, Chen Yuan could overlook Li Mingqi’s exploitation considering the promotions he had received, and at worst, simply stop any interaction after leaving Ping’an County.
But now, Chen Yuan was truly enraged!
Li Mingqi’s plan was easy to guess – to use Chen Yuan’s life to attract Liu Shuanghe’s attention and wrath, directing the latter’s hatred entirely toward Chen Yuan.
Even though Chen Yuan did not consider himself a formidable power, he possessed an extremely significant identity as the upcoming Arrest Officer of Ping’an County. Although his commission hadn’t been issued yet, who could tell if Li Mingqi was blocking it behind the scenes?
Once Chen Yuan died, that commission would probably be issued immediately.
And should Chen Yuan die at the hands of Li Mingqi, then Liu Shuanghe would have the grave sin of killing a royal appointed official, a crime punishable by the extermination of his entire clan. At that time, it would be a feast for Li Mingqi and others who coveted the resources of the Liu Family.
Who would remember Chen Yuan then?
Perhaps, from the very beginning, Chen Yuan was merely a pawn in Li Mingqi’s game!
Even that conflict with Liu Ruoqing may have had a trace of Li Mingqi’s manipulation behind it!
Li Mingqi truly deserved to die!
Without his death, the rage boiling within Chen Yuan could not be quelled.
Feeling the subtle killing intent emanating from Brother Yuan, a chill crept over Wang Ping’s body.
“About this matter…” Chen Yuan said softly.
“Alright.”
Wang Ping nodded his head.
Since Brother Yuan had him ferment the situation, there must be a reason.
That was his understanding of Brother Yuan over this period of time.
From the faint murderous intent that Brother Yuan had just now, Wang Ping thought of a horrifying possibility!
…
…
After Wang Ping left, Chen Yuan sat withered inside the Arrest Room for a long time, his face calm and contemplative, pondering how to make Li Mingqi pay for his choice.
That was the kind of person Chen Yuan was, he would hold grudges and seek retribution!
Although Chen Yuan’s hard power wasn’t as strong as Li Mingqi’s, but…
Murder sometimes relied on more than just power.
Moreover, Chen Yuan wasn’t without the strength to fight back.
As long as the opportunity arose, the Blood Evil Saber in Chen Yuan’s hands could definitely bring a surprise to a Martial Artist in the Gang Condensation Realm.
What’s more, Li Mingqi was only at the Qi Absorption Level, not yet at the stage of being protected by Gang Qi!
At the County Government, the main hall.
Li Mingqi lifted a cup of tea slowly and took a gentle breath, sipping lightly, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
A constable by his side hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
“What is Chen Yuan’s reaction now?”
Li Mingqi asked softly.
“Reporting to the magistrate, your subordinate saw Wang Ping enter and then come out shortly after, but as for arrest officer Chen, he seemed to have no significant reaction.”
“He has been very calm, staying inside the Arrest Room the whole time.”
A constable grinned obsequiously as he bowed.
If Chen Yuan were here, he would recognize this man as Wu Yushan who had competed with him for the position of arrest officer.
After that competition, Wu Yushan was injured by Chen Yuan and had to recuperate at home for some time. When he returned to the Arrest Room, he treated Chen Yuan with great respect and humility.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not target him.
It wasn’t that Chen Yuan was so magnanimous, but that he needed to keep a few informants for Li Mingqi. Apart from Wu Yushan, Chen Yuan also knew of several old Government Officials in the Arrest Room with special relations to Li Mingqi.
How could the hands of the Shangguan not have a few informants?
It wasn’t just Li Mingqi; even County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng had many informants within the Government Office, as long as they didn’t interfere with his affairs, then all would be well.
“This Chen Yuan, he’s a clever man, what a pity…”
Li Mingqi murmured.
Did he, Li Mingqi, look like a fool? Could he not see the connection between Chen Yuan and Zhang Xuan?
Of course, even if that connection didn’t exist, Li Mingqi would not hesitate to exploit Chen Yuan when needed. The position of arrest officer was important if deemed so, but if not, Li Mingqi could use his influence to make a decision in a single statement.
The situation at the Liu Family was almost clear, the son of Liu Shuanghe was basically dead, and the Qingyun Sword Sect would not stand up for the Liu Family, so it was almost time to make a move.
By using Chen Yuan as bait, Li Mingqi could gain even greater benefits!
In face of benefits, everything else had to step aside.
After the incident at Cien Temple, the superiors had a low opinion of him; after all, he was the primary officer in charge of law enforcement and public order in the county, and if there were mistakes, both he and Wu Qingfeng would bear the brunt.
He had already received some news that once his term in Ping’an County was at an end, he would likely be transferred to an idle position, no longer able to be a powerful figure in a county.
So…
He had to grab enough benefits in this last period!
With so many in the Li Family to feed, without silver, how could they maintain a comfortable life?
Without silver, how to appease the superiors?
He even hoped to make one last effort to see if he could get reassigned to another county by bribery and muddle through for a few more years…
And for all these, Chen Yuan would have to be the price!
“Yes, arrest officer Chen is indeed smart, in such a short period of time he has almost silenced any dissent in the Arrest Room…” Wu Yushan said with a beaming smile.
Glancing at Wu Yushan, Li Mingqi smiled and said,
“You, continue cultivating. It won’t be long before you might sit in this position, and then, the safety of tens of thousands of citizens in Ping’an County will depend on you.”
