The housekeeper clapped his hands vigorously and could not help but say: "Not only did the Liu family go there themselves, they also called many clansmen..."
The four major families are deeply rooted in Rongcheng, with their clansmen spread all over Rongcheng. The Liu family is the most powerful among them. They are deliberately putting pressure on Shen Chen. They know that most of Shen Chen's guards are outside the city and cannot arrive in time, so they want to take the opportunity to get the people back in one fell swoop.
But these young men happened to be Shen Chen's most important bargaining chips for saving his life. Master Chen was extremely nervous and asked hurriedly: "Don't talk about these useless things first! So what's going on now?!"
"It's still a stalemate!" The housekeeper said hurriedly, "The Marquis is very powerful. The Royal Guards took action and dealt with the most troublesome people first, but I think the situation is out of control!"
The housekeeper was a little worried: "The Liu family seems to have given up as well."
Master Chen understood instantly.
Liu Biping has now completely fallen out with Shen Chen. If he doesn't kill Shen Chen, this matter will be infinitely magnified by Shen Chen, and the Inspector General will be able to submit a memorial to the capital tomorrow.
But the current situation is most favorable to Shen Chen.
So now, Liu Biping was deliberately indulging and even instigating those people from the Liu family to come.
They don't mind making a big deal out of this.
Because as long as Shen Chen dies, everything will be easy to explain - at that time they will say that Shen Chen doesn't get along well with the aristocratic families in Rongcheng, that Shen Chen is too aggressive and eager for quick success, or at worst, even just using the reason of an accident will be enough.
When people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything, especially people like Liu Biping.
Master Chen pulled the butler aside and said, "Go, find some people! Bring as many people as you can and go to the posthouse!"
They are already standing by Shen Chen's side, which means they are on the same line with Shen Chen. If Shen Chen is finished now, they will also be held accountable in the future.
Shen Chen cannot fall, so they have to help Shen Chen survive tonight.
The butler swallowed his saliva, and seeing that Master Chen had a firm attitude, he immediately responded with a "yes".
Master Chen wished he could grow wings and fly over. If Shen Chen couldn't survive today, all his efforts would be in vain. As long as the Liu family could successfully take those people away, they could blame others for today's incident and just like before, push a few small shrimps like Mr. Hu to come out and take the blame.
But when that time really comes, everything will be too late.
Although he was anxious, he had no other choice. He waited until the butler brought everyone together before rushing to the inn without stopping.
Fortunately, he arrived not too late and the street leading to the posthouse was blocked, which meant that people still could not attack the posthouse.
But even so, they couldn't help - there were too many people ahead, and it was very difficult for them to get through.
Just when they were getting anxious and didn't know what to do, the crowd in front suddenly began to retreat like a tide. Master Chen reacted very quickly. When he saw the movement in front, he hurriedly asked people to dodge. Even so, many people below were unable to dodge in time and were trampled to the ground.
Fortunately, the people brought by Master Chen all had some martial arts experience and they quickly found an opportunity to struggle up. There were two who were seriously injured, so Master Chen asked someone to help them hide in the shop nearby.
The people on the street were retreating faster and faster. Master Chen frowned, not knowing what had happened. He finally caught some people, but they couldn't explain clearly, so he became more anxious.
After finally waiting until it was quieter and there were fewer people around, he hurriedly led a dozen of his trusted subordinates to the posthouse.
They didn’t know before why those people retreated so quickly as if they had seen a ghost, but now they finally found out - the bodies of several young people were hanging on the huge ginkgo tree in front of the inn.
Although he was not familiar with those young people, but looking at the situation, he knew who these people were. He couldn't help but gasp - Shen Chen dared!
He actually dared to kill people from the Liu family directly!
He swallowed his saliva and felt a little confused. Logically speaking, the Liu family would become more arrogant after Liu Biping's tacit approval. Wouldn't Shen Chen's slapping them in the face and killing them directly make them even crazier? Why are those people from the Liu family avoiding him now
They stood there in a daze, and only when the Jinyiwei came over with a fierce look in their eyes did they hastily reveal their identities.
The one leading the group was Qingfeng who was beside Shen Chen. Master Chen recognized him and hurriedly called out to him to go up the ranks.
Qing Feng glanced at him, nodded slightly, and laughed, which was rare: "Master Chen is thoughtful."
Master Chen shook his head hastily: "These people are so bold, Lord..."
Qing Feng glanced coldly at the people hanging on the ginkgo tree, then lowered his head and said slowly, "The Marquis has the protection of the emperor, so he will be fine."
Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Qingfeng inviting him in, he was quite overjoyed. He hurriedly followed Qingfeng into the inn. As soon as he entered, he saw Mr. Xu and couldn't help but bow to him.
When Mr. Xu saw him coming, he was surprised at first, then he smiled and said, "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
As he spoke, he approached him and said, "This incident happened in a hurry. I happened to be in the other courtyard dealing with the servants who betrayed their master today. I heard the news and rushed here. But it turned out to be in vain. The Marquis had been prepared. Those Lius came to the Marquis's place to make trouble and even tried to spread pine oil and set fire. The Marquis had already asked the Jinyiwei to ambush them. They failed and injured many people one after another. Then the Marquis told them that he had already asked the guards to go to the Liu Family Ancestral Hall."
The ancestral hall, a place that represents the family's glory and past, has always been of paramount importance.
Shen Chen had already anticipated that the Liu family would not give up and would resort to this trick, so he had made preparations long ago and asked the guards to cause trouble in the ancestral hall, making them lose sight of the big picture and using the tactic of besieging Wei to save Zhao.
That's really smart.
Master Chen stroked his beard and said, "That's really unfortunate. The Liu family failed to get the person they wanted, and now they have to bear the crime of murdering the imperial envoy."
Mr. Xu laughed and said, "That's right. The Imperial Envoy has already discussed it with the Inspector. These people are so bold that they cannot be tolerated any longer. Therefore, they have already made preparations at the ancestral temple to catch the mastermind behind the scenes. If they dare to disobey..."
Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed on the spot.
Mr. Xu's expression gradually hardened. "This is really great. This is a great opportunity. They colluded with the imperial envoy. So many people saw it. They can't deny it. The imperial envoy arrested them. If they still dare to resist, then kill them and no one can say anything."
