Chapter 281 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Shangguan Jue's head was about to explode from the crying.
But now they have all lost their loved ones, so it is not appropriate for me to yell at them.
Shangguan Jue took a deep breath and looked at them seriously:
"Don't cry, I've already reported this to the authorities. When Master Chen finds out the truth, he'll give us an explanation.
There's no point in arguing here now, just be quiet, you hear me!
Shangguan Rong's wife, Li, looked around with bloodshot eyes, her expression ferocious and sinister:
"Who is it? Come forward now, and I'll leave him with an intact body. If you don't come forward, once I find out who is who, I'll make sure his entire family is utterly destroyed!"
Li and Shangguan Rong had always had a good relationship. Now that Shangguan Rong was poisoned, it was like digging a hole in her heart.
The murderer had left her with no chance of survival, so naturally she wouldn't let him off easily.
In short, whoever makes her sad, she will kill that person's entire family!
Li's words made everyone present shudder.
Shangguan Jue also spoke up, "Second Young Master's wife's words are exactly what I mean!"
His eyes swept around viciously, "If you don't want your family to be in trouble, then stand up yourself, otherwise... after we find out, your whole family will die with you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around looked at each other in surprise.
But no one stood up.
The atmosphere on the scene became increasingly solemn.
Lin Mo shook her head and leaned towards Xu Wuyan. "Looking at Shangguan Jue like this, I suddenly feel like the thief is crying thief. Do you feel the same way?"
Xu Wuyan nodded. "The poison just happened to kill them. It must have been someone who knew their habits well. A stranger couldn't be so precise. If it was someone they knew, who do you think it was?"
After Xu Wuyan finished speaking, he turned his head to the side and looked at Shangguan Jue with a smile.
Lin Mo was surprised, "Him?"
Then she shook her head. "I don't think it's him. All his brothers are dead and he's the only one left. Anyone would suspect he was the one who did it. So I don't think it's him. He's not that stupid."
"I didn't say it was him." Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows.
"He slipped through the net, do you believe it?"
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on a low table in the corner not far away. There were several plates on the low table. Only one of the plates had snacks on it, while the others had been touched.
At the same time, Lin Mo also noticed the snacks.
The snacks are prepared according to their preferences.
The ones that were not touched should be what Shangguan Jue liked to eat.
The other people in the Shangguan family knew that he liked to eat it, so no one touched the plate he liked to eat. This also explained why that plate of snacks was intact and untouched.
Lin Mo and Xu Wuyan exchanged glances. Xu Wuyan nodded and took a step forward.
"Master Shangguan, can I ask you a question?"
Shangguan Jue was stunned for a moment, but still nodded, "Ask!"
"Do you like eating date paste pastry?" Xu Wuyan asked.
Shangguan Jue was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out, "How do you know?"
But when he followed Xu Wuyan's eyes, he was stunned for a moment.
The plates of snacks in the corner caught his attention.
"Do you see the problem?" Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows, "That's why you're not poisoned, because you haven't eaten it yet.
The person who brought these snacks probably didn't expect you to be out for so long, so you slipped through the net."
Xu Wuyan's words made Shangguan Jue's face change drastically.
Before he could say anything, a young man who had been keeping his head down suddenly rushed out.
What's not to understand?
Shangguan Jue's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "Come quickly, catch him!"
As soon as Shangguan Jue finished speaking, the servants of the Shangguan family immediately pounced on the young man who was trying to escape.
The young man naturally didn't want to surrender, so he retorted without thinking.
Soon, the sound of bare-handed fighting was heard in front of the mourning hall.
The young man was quite skilled. Even when seven or eight people surrounded him, he did not lose the upper hand. Instead, he gained the upper hand and beat them back step by step.
Xu Wuyan showed a hint of admiration on his face. He was a ruthless man, but it was a pity that he could not stand alone.
No matter how powerful he is, he cannot escape from the Shangguan family.
Lin Mo saw the admiration in his eyes and lowered her voice, "You admire him very much."
This is an affirmative sentence, not a question.
Xu Wuyan nodded:
"Well, this kind of person, if you conquer him, will be loyal to you and will never change his mind. It's a pity that he already has a partner!"
Speaking of this, Xu Wuyan felt a little regretful.
I'm afraid this person won't be able to leave the Shangguan family today.
Lin Mo's eyes fell on the servant who was surrounded by Shangguan's guards who had rushed over from behind, and his brows immediately frowned.
All right!
There is nothing wrong with Old Xu valuing talents.
What a pity for this young man, I’m afraid he will die here!
Surrounded by layers of guards, the man was finally defeated and captured.
He was captured by mistake and was now struggling angrily like a ferocious wolf cub.
Unfortunately, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't move.
Xu Wuyan shook his head.
Defeated!
Li, who was standing by, saw him being stopped and immediately rushed forward angrily, slapping him hard in the face:
"You damned bastard, you actually killed my husband. I will kill you to avenge my husband!"
The angry Li couldn't help it.
She stretched out her hands and strangled the young man's neck hard.
"I will kill you to avenge my husband!"
Li's face looked ferocious and terrifying.
The man rolled his eyes because of the pinch he made.
Seeing that the man was about to be strangled to death by Li Mama, Shangguan Jue hurried forward to stop him:
“Li, stop it.
If you strangle him to death, you won't be able to find the person behind this, so let go!"
Li was pulled back to consciousness by Shangguan Jue.
She loosened her hands, her face full of murderous intent:
"Ask carefully. Once you've found out who's behind this, hand him over to me. I'll kill him myself to avenge my husband!"
"good!"
Shangguan Jue nodded, then asked someone to find a rope to tie the man up, and then asked about the man's identity.
When the men were tied up, Shangguan Jue also learned the identity of the man in front of him from others.
The man's name was Shunzi, a servant that Shangguan Xi picked up and raised.
When Shangguan Jue heard that he was Shangguan Xi's man, his face turned ashen instantly.
Shangguan Xi!
She actually wanted to get rid of all these big brothers!
If Xu Wuyan and I had not gone to her place, he would probably have died like Shangguan Rong and the others.
She has such a cruel heart!
In order to monopolize everything in the Shangguan family, he cruelly wanted to get rid of these big brothers.
No matter what, they are her brothers who have taken good care of her since she was a child.
Even though she had caused them a lot of trouble since they were young, they had unconditionally cleaned up the mess for her, but now she treated them like this!
Shangguan Jue was heartbroken.
He did not speak out this guess in public, but instead frowned and had someone suppress him and lock him up, waiting for Lord Chen to come and investigate.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Wuyan knew that he wanted to protect Shangguan Xi.
wrong.
It should be said that it is to protect the reputation of the Shangguan family.
Oh!
If this kid is not Shangguan Xi's man, or Shangguan Xi is already dead, he doesn't bother to care.
But Shangguan Xi was not dead, so he could only apologize.
He won't let his enemies have an easy time.
so……
When Shunzi was taken away, Xu Wuyan spoke:
“Wait!”
"Master Shangguan Jue, you knew who the murderer was, but you refused to reveal it and simply took him away. Are you trying to protect the murderer?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene!
Everyone looked at Shangguan Jue in disbelief.
Is he going to protect the murderer?
