As the noise grew louder, more and more people showed up at the scene.
After all, this is a residential area, and many members of the Xiao family live here, not just Xiao Wei.
Especially some elderly people, such as Xiao Bo and others, as well as the elders of the clan council, live here.
It can be said that those who can live here are the core members of the Xiao family and can influence the existence of the entire Xiao family.
Of course, the impact on the entire Xiao family was something that happened before today. After today, the power of the clan elders' council has been cut by more than half, and these clan elders can only enjoy their retirement in the future.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, it seems like Xiao Chen wants to kill Xiao Wei?"
"Want to kill Xiao Wei? This kid relied on his own strength. Killing Xiao Yunhong and the others was not enough, but he actually wanted to kill Xiao Wei?"
"Yes, that's too presumptuous. Even if he has a good talent, so what? Shouldn't the Seventh Ancestor let him go?"
"If we kill Xiao Wei today, who knows if he will turn his butcher knife on us in the future? By then, we won't be able to enjoy our retirement... No matter what, we can't ignore this matter."
People from the lineages of Xiao Wei and Xiao Bo have already been inciting. Their lineage is on bad terms with Xiao Chen, so they naturally cannot just watch him kill Xiao Wei.
If Xiao Wei really died, then their lineage... would have no status in the Xiao family and would be trampled underfoot!
"I heard... Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng were poisoned. Xiao Chen suspected that Xiao Wei poisoned them."
Someone also spoke up in a deep voice.
"What? Poisoning?"
Some people were shocked. Is Xiao Wei really that brave?
"Yes, you all heard Xiao Chen's voice just now, right? The situation must be critical, otherwise they wouldn't have called the Seventh Ancestor to go to Xiantian Pavilion... Now Xiao Sheng hasn't shown up, I don't know how he is doing."
"Xiao Sheng, he can't be..."
There was constant discussion at the scene. No matter what the situation was, the Xiao family was destined not to be peaceful tonight.
"Xiao Chen, you are talented and strong, I admit this, but this does not give you the capital to do whatever you want in the Xiao family... You were poisoned, how can you say that it was Xiao Wei who poisoned you? Do you have any evidence? Who knows if you are just making up a false accusation to kill people? You can't just say that Xiao Wei poisoned you just because you have a conflict with him and now you are poisoned!"
Xiao Bo noticed Xiao Wei's gaze, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.
No matter what, he had to help Xiao Wei.
Just like what he had said to Xiao Wei before, as long as there was no evidence, he would support it to the end.
But if he didn't do it cleanly and left evidence, he wouldn't be able to protect Xiao Wei!
"Old man, you said I was making false accusations, didn't you? Now, I think you are involved in it too."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and slowly raised the Xuanyuan Sword.
After hearing what Xiao Chen said and looking at the Xuanyuan Sword he raised, Xiao Bo's heart trembled and his eyes widened.
"You...Xiao Chen, you are so outrageous!"
Xiao Bo shouted angrily.
"Uncle Qi, are you really not going to care about him? Are you going to watch him kill my Xiao family members? If this continues, my Xiao family will be in danger and their morale will surely collapse!"
"That's right, Qi Zu, there is no evidence, how can he say that Xiao Wei did it?"
"If you want to deal with Xiao Wei, you have to produce evidence."
People from Xiao Bo's lineage also spoke up.
At this time, they all understood that they had to stick together, otherwise they would have no status in the Xiao family in the future.
"Ancestor, what happened?"
There were also neutral people who spoke up, asking about whether there was poisoning or not, and they wanted to know what exactly had happened.
"Tonight, Xiao Sheng asked Xiao Chen to go to Xiantian Pavilion. When they were drinking, Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng were poisoned and almost died!"
Xiao Yi glanced across the audience and spoke slowly.
Although he also suspected that it was Xiao Wei, he did not rule out the possibility that the murderer was someone else.
For example, someone knew about the conflict between Xiao Wei and Xiao Chen, poisoned him, and then let Xiao Wei take the blame.
In this way, it is not impossible to kill Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng without exposing oneself.
This kind of murderer hiding in the dark is the most terrifying.
This is also the reason why he must find evidence and investigate it.
There was an uproar at the scene when people heard Xiao Yi's words. He poisoned the wine and almost died?
Many people subconsciously looked at Xiao Wei. It was no wonder that Xiao Chen came to find Xiao Wei, as if he was indeed the most suspicious.
In the entire Xiao family, who wants Xiao Chen to die the most should be Xiao Wei.
Xiao Bo and others are still a little short of it, but Xiao Wei was crippled by Xiao Chen and turned into a useless person.
Apart from Xiao Wei, there are the descendants and family members of Xiao Yunhong and Xiao Lian. They are also very hostile to Xiao Chen and have repeatedly said they want revenge.
It's just that they were not strong enough and although they talked a lot, they didn't dare to go find Xiao Chen and die.
Of course, even if they don't dare to do it openly, it is possible that they poisoned someone secretly.
For a time, there were quite a few suspicious people.
Just as everyone was discussing, Xiao Yu came over with Xiao Sheng, along with Ning Kejun and his group.
"Xiao Sheng is here."
"He's not dead either."
“…”
Everyone at the scene looked at Xiao Sheng and saw that his face was pale and he looked extremely weak.
"Xiao Sheng, why are you here?"
Xiao Yi frowned slightly when he saw Xiao Sheng coming.
"You go back and rest first, leave this to us."
"Ancestor, I'm fine... Someone wants to poison us, father and son. We must find the murderer!"
Xiao Sheng shook his head and his eyes fell on Xiao Wei.
At this time, Xiao Wei was still sitting on the ground.
He looked at Xiao Sheng and his eyes narrowed. Xiao Sheng was also alive?
It shouldn't be like this!
"Is that you?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Wei and asked in a deep voice.
"Xiao Sheng, don't talk nonsense..."
Xiao Wei shouted angrily and tried to stand up.
Bang!
Before he could stand firm, Xiao Chen kicked him again, knocking him to the ground.
"Did I ask you to get up?"
Xiao Chen's voice was cold. Although he had no evidence, he was sure it was Xiao Wei.
Besides, he and Xiao Wei have a grudge against each other, so why should he be polite?
Xiao Wei fell to the ground again and clenched his fists.
insult!
After all, he is an elder of the Xiao family. Now, in front of so many people, he was kicked down by Xiao Chen. What an insult!
"Xiao Chen, you're going too far!"
Xiao Bo shouted angrily. This kick not only hit Xiao Wei, but was clearly a slap in the face to his entire lineage.
"Even if you think Xiao Wei poisoned you, before there is any evidence, it is just a suspicion... He is the elder of the Xiao family, how dare you commit an insubordination?"
"Insulting your superiors? Old man, if you want to stand still, then shut up... Otherwise, I'll make you lie on the ground too."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and said with a sneer.
He was almost poisoned to death, and he was filled with rage. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to make sure, he would have killed someone long ago!
If Xiao Bozhen is also involved, then he will definitely show no mercy and will chop off the old guy's head!
"Ah Lin, the people we sent out haven't come back yet?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Wei and without saying any more nonsense, turned to look at Xiao Lin.
"Not yet, it should be soon."
Xiao Lin shook his head. As soon as he left Xiantian Pavilion, he gave an order for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to go to the kitchen.
They are in charge of the food and drinks, so naturally we have to start the investigation from there.
"Then wait, we'll find out."
Xiao Sheng said this and coughed a few more times.
"This matter must be investigated thoroughly...Poisoning, I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen in my Xiao family!"
Xiao Yi looked grim as he looked around.
“Too bad!”
After hearing Xiao Yi's words, many people nodded. Yes, it was too bad and too chilling.
If you have a grudge, just poison them directly?
The person who poisoned the food must be found out.
After about four or five minutes, Xiao Ming appeared and walked over quickly.
"Report to the Patriarch..."
Xiao Ming first looked at Xiao Sheng, then realized that Xiao Lin was now the head of the family, and looked at Xiao Lin again.
"Tell me, did you find out anything?"
Xiao Lin asked in a deep voice.
"One of the servants... committed suicide."
Xiao Ming replied.
"What? Committed suicide?"
Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Xiao Lin's face changed.
Xiao Sheng also frowned. Suicide? Was it suicide out of fear of punishment? Or was he silenced?
Xiao Yi's face became even colder. It seemed that the murderer had made arrangements in advance.
Xiao Wei, who was sitting on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Everything was going according to his plan.
The person who poisons others will commit suicide after poisoning them.
In this case, we can say that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and if we want to investigate further, the clues will be gone.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Wei. Is it him? If it is him, this old guy has arranged it very well!
"It is very likely that this servant had a grudge against Xiao Chen or Xiao Sheng, so he poisoned them. Then he knew he was exposed, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Xiao Bo was also relieved and spoke slowly.
"Did a donkey kick your head?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and said mockingly.
"What did you say!"
Xiao Bo was furious, after all, he was the elder of the Xiao family.
"Where did a servant get the poison? This poison is extremely powerful, and there is almost no cure for it!"
Xiao Chen said coldly.
"Humph, you said that poison is overbearing and there is no cure for those who are poisoned, but aren't you and your son still alive and well? Don't you think that's contradictory?"
Xiao Bo snorted coldly.
"No matter where the poison came from, someone committed suicide out of fear of punishment, which means it has nothing to do with Xiao Wei... You came to Xiao Wei without any evidence and hurt him, which is really too much!"
"If it weren't for Xiao Chen, I would be dead now."
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Bo, his voice also cold.
"Since we're talking about this, let's talk about the death of the wet nurse. I have investigated privately, and Xiao Wei is also a suspect."
"Xiao Sheng, stop slandering me. If you want to accuse me of poisoning you, then show me the evidence."
Xiao Wei shouted coldly.
"There is no evidence today. If I am killed, then the Xiao family... Ha, it's really disappointing."
"Old man, although you are a piece of shit, you finally said something that I really agree with... The Xiao family is really disappointing. I thought so many years ago."
As Xiao Chen spoke, a dark golden blade light flashed, and the Xuanyuan Blade was placed on his neck.
"Do you think that if the servant in the kitchen dies, the clues will be gone and they won't be able to trace you?"
"Xiao, Xiao Chen, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Wei trembled, he was really afraid of Xiao Chen.
"Old man, you are too naive. Evidence, right? No, I don't need evidence. I will make you admit with your own mouth that you were the one who poisoned me!"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Wei with a cold smile.
