Chapter 721 Chen Family Review
Faced with everyone's greetings, Chen He nodded slightly, and the metal walnut in his palm was collected, and no more collision sounds were made.
He walked slowly forward, walked into the hall, and stood on the same side with Chen Ding.
With his hands behind his back, he said lightly:
"The problem has already happened, and it is meaningless to shirk responsibility."
"The key is how to solve the problem and find out the reasons behind it."
"Before coming, I have roughly understood the situation... Chen Ding, according to your analysis, the Chen family suffered serious losses this time because they stepped into the trap set by the hungry Fenghuoye Pavilion?"
"That's right..." Chen Ding tried to calm his breathing, looking at the not-so-tall Chen family patriarch beside him with red eyes, and said respectfully:
"Although there are many things that don't make sense, for now, most of the clues point to the owner of the Fenghuoye Pavilion branch, Zhu Houcai."
Chen Ding briefly stated the process of Lu Li going to Fenghuoye Pavilion to buy the teleportation jade token at that time, and also specifically mentioned the final result of the "satisfactory" resolution of the matter under the witness of a silver-booted warrior of the Overlord Army.
"So Zhu Houcai admitted that he did everything?" Chen He's expression did not change, but the sound of walnuts colliding rang again.
"Of course he can't admit it..." Chen Ding's eyes darkened, and then he said fiercely:
"But this matter has indeed had a 'result'!"
"If Fenghuoye Pavilion wants to play rogue and delays compensating the Chen family's losses, then I will report it to the Overlord Council!"
"Strength is respected in the Neptune Star Domain... They Fenghuoye Pavilion are not afraid of our Chen family, so are they not afraid of the star domain overlord, Mrs. Octopus!?"
Chen He raised his eyebrows, and the spinning metal walnut in his hand paused again.
He did not continue on this topic, but changed the subject:
"I heard you say before that when the silver-shoeed general left, he also took three Chen family members with him?"
Chen Ding was stunned when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously:
"Yes, but I was injured at the time and could not see it with my own eyes. When they left the next day, it was Chen Nuo who saw them off."
Chen Nuo on the side quickly agreed:
"Yes, master, the three Chen family members taken away by the Overlord Army general were Chang Wei, You Wei and Lai Fu."
After saying that, he felt that this sentence was a bit thin, and after thinking about it, he immediately added:
"Speaking of which, the day before they were taken away by the silver-shoeed general, they made great contributions in the conflict at Fenghuoye Pavilion... Well, it was mainly Chang Wei's credit."
"Made great contributions?" Chen He's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his brows frowned slightly:
"It was when Lu Li went to buy the teleportation jade token. ? "
"No..." Chen Nuo waved his hand and shook his head:
"That was before, the Sutra Library hadn't had any trouble, and Lu Li hadn't died yet."
"Chang Wei's meritorious service was after Lu Li was killed and the Sutra Library was looted..."
"At that time, we followed the order of Pavilion Master Chen Ding to go to Zhu Houcai to ask for an explanation, and then an inexplicable conflict arose, which attracted the silver-shoeed general of the Overlord Army."
"If Chang Wei hadn't performed outstandingly, making that Stone Army Lord completely embarrassed to look down on Zhu Houcai, the final judgment would probably be unfavorable to us."
Chen He nodded slightly and looked at Chen Ding again:
"Where is Lu Li's body?"
"To prevent decay, I sealed it in a crystal coffin." Chen Ding answered truthfully:
"If Zhu Houcai refuses to pay, Lu Li's body will become a strong evidence when appealing to the Overlord Council..."
"Take it out." Before Chen Ding finished speaking, Chen He suddenly interrupted.
The sound of metal walnuts colliding rang out again, containing unquestionable majesty.
"Yes..." Chen Ding stretched out his hand and brushed across his waist, and a crystal coffin suddenly appeared in the center of the meeting hall.
Chen He took two steps forward, pushed open the coffin lid, and looked at it carefully.
From time to time, he stretched out his hand and touched it, as if to confirm some details.
After a while, he placed the two metal walnuts in his palm on the corpse, waited for a moment, and then took them back, saying lightly:
"Put them away."
He paced a few steps in the hall, and the sound of metal walnuts colliding was endless.
The head of the Chen family and a group of Chen family children were quiet, knowing that the head of the family was using props to deduce the course of events, and did not dare to make a sound to disturb.
The metal walnut in Chen He's hand was not an ordinary toy.
It was a rare epic quality prop.
It can absorb the soul of the corpse and obtain the memory fragments of the deceased before his death.
When rotating and colliding, the target who heard the sound can feel the specified emotion.
Such as peace of mind, majesty, fear, etc.
The specific effect of feeling emotions depends on the spiritual attributes of the user.
After a long time, Chen He stopped eating the walnut in his hand and looked at Chen Ding:
"When Lu Li proposed to leave the Chen family and go out for a walk, who accompanied him?"
"It was Chang Wei and You Wei..." Chen Ding replied, and then he thought of something and moved his eyes to the metal walnut in Chen He's hand:
"Master, have you learned anything from Lu Li's memory fragments?"
"No, his soul has been scattered, and no valuable information has been extracted." Chen He sighed lightly:
"It seems that if you want to figure things out, you really have to go to the Overlord Council."
Chen Li held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say:
"We should immediately use the Overlord Army to teach Fenghuo Yeguan a lesson!"
"Otherwise, if you delay big things to small things, and delay small things, in the end, it will benefit the gang of bastards in Fenghuo Yeguan!"
"Why didn't I have any doubts when I was in the Hub Arena? Such a dazzling new player would be the 'needle' planted by Fenghuo Yeguan to plot against our Chen family!"
Chen Raccoon waved his hand, interrupting Chen Ru's "expressing his feelings" and said quietly:
"Third Elder, I do not intend to use the ruling results to allow the council to force the Fenghuoye Hall to submit. I think this matter has not been investigated clearly, and we should not act on impulse."
"What?" Chen Ru was stunned and subconsciously asked:
"Then why are you going to the Overlord Council?"
"Of course we are looking for the three Chen family members who joined the council." Chen Raccoon responded calmly:
"I am not a member of the authorities. After listening to your descriptions one by one, I just feel that these three people are acting quite strangely."
"I have had a lot of contact with Lu Li, and I feel that the breakthrough point may be with them."
"Instead of staying here, unable to think of a clue, it is better to meet him directly and ask about the situation."
After everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense.
But soon, new problems emerged.
The Overlord Council is not some idle institution of rural management.
To rule an entire star field, there are so many large and small matters that need to be dealt with.
Even if the Chen family has a good status in the Neptune region, it is not of much use.
Just like the wealthy merchants in ancient times,
Can open up some connections and gain convenience in certain joints;
You can have some privileges and take a green channel on certain things;
You can even bribe the county boss to turn a blind eye at critical moments;
But after all, it is impossible to open the back door to the emperor's ass.
After all, you still have to line up.
As a result, this one ranks first,
That’s 4,500 cosmic hours.
