Chapter 88: Don't Suspect Those You Employ

Wang Luo frowned, "Marquis of Lord Wenguan, what do you have to say?"

Lu Fang nodded and said:

"Everyone, don't be impatient. Listen to what I have to say first and see if it makes sense. Is it possible that the person who poisoned him is not one of Shen Qicheng or Shen Qiheng?"

Wang Luo said impatiently, "There is no need to discuss this anymore. Who poisoned him can be investigated slowly later. Now..."

Lu Fang interrupted, "Venerable Wang, what are you in such a hurry for? I didn't say you were the one who poisoned him."

"What did you say!"

Wang Luo stared fixedly at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang shrugged, not afraid at all, and directly ignored Wang Luo. He talked eloquently:

"I chatted with Shen Xiaoqi before about who the third suspect would be. I think it's Venerable Wang and Shen Qiheng, so I will stand on Shen Qicheng's side."

He was not sure who poisoned him.

However, Lu Fang needed to keep the strength of both sides on an equal level. Wang Luo was a Semi-Sage, and he also had a Semi-Sage on his side.

The current situation was indeed that the possibility of Venerable Wang and Shen Qiheng poisoning him was greater.

If Lu Fang supported Shen Qicheng, one was to help justice, and the other was to be selfish, using this as a bargaining chip to let Shen Qicheng support the popularization of the Great Zhou Literary Gazette.

As for whether the Semi-Sage in the dark would agree to take action, he believed that as long as the other party was not stupid, he should help him.

After all, the Emperor wanted the popularization of the Great Zhou Literary Gazette, so this Semi-Sage would not stand idly by in reason and emotion.

"Nonsense, everything you say is reckless speculation. If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason. However, I want to warn you, don't intervene in the Shen family's affairs?"

Wang Luo looked at Lu Fang threateningly.

Lu Fang raised his eyebrows and said:

"I don't want to intervene either, and I only stand on the side of justice. Shen Qiheng, you keep saying it's for the Shen family, then I propose to keep the status quo. You have no reason to refuse?"

"Fine!" What everyone did not expect was that Shen Qiheng immediately agreed, so readily that it was unbelievable.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Shen Qiheng shook his head and said:

"My intention was indeed to protect the Shen family. If the Marquis of Lord Wenguan is willing to stand out, with the Semi-Sage in the dark, I think the Shen family will not have problems. Moreover, I also suspect that Venerable Wang is the one who poisoned him."

Wang Luo's face was extremely ugly. If Shen Qiheng didn't agree, he could still do some things, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a style.

Now that it was a mess, he was the one who was not a human inside and out.

Shen Qiheng sighed:

"Venerable Wang, don't blame me for suspecting you. It's just that you finding me last night was too suspicious. Just as the Marquis of Lord Wenguan said just now, if Big Brother really united with outsiders to poison him, he would have no backup."

"Just let me control the overall situation?"

"No matter how I think about it, it's not right. In this way, I am not the one who poisoned him, and Big Brother is not either. Among the people present, only you, Venerable Wang!"

Shen Qicheng realized later, "Qiheng, if it really wasn't you who poisoned him, Venerable Wang, do you need to explain?"

Wang Luo snorted, "Unreasonable, what do I have to explain? I poisoned Kangbo, what for?"

People on the field looked at each other.

Indeed, if Wang Luo really poisoned him, what for?

It made no sense at all. After all, what he could get when he was a retainer before was already extremely precious.

What could he get from this second master of the Shen family by supporting him?

"Why?" Lu Fang nodded and said:

"I was also strange before. Venerable Wang is a Semi-Sage. What does he lack? And with the help of the Shen family, the only possibility is what the Shen family cannot give him."

"Don't think it's impossible. Although the Shen family has a big family and a big business, the foundation is still not enough. Some things are only possessed by real gate-valves."

"I thought again, if it was someone from a big family who reached a deal with Venerable Wang, what did those big family people want to get?"

"This is interesting. Maybe it's to share a piece of the Shen family's fat meat in the chaos, or maybe it's to control the Shen family in another way. There are many reasons."

"However, these were all denied by me one by one, because I thought about all the things that happened, and found that the person who poisoned him did not want Shen Xiaoqi to be the head of the Shen family, nor did he want Shen Qicheng to be."

"Wang Luo took the initiative to find Shen Qiheng and specifically said he wanted to support him, instead of finding Shen Qicheng, because from Shen Qiheng, they could get what they wanted."

"Thinking back and forth, the only thing the person who poisoned him desperately wanted was the Shen family's intelligence network."

Shen Qiheng frowned, "Intelligence?"

Shen Qicheng nodded repeatedly: "Everything is explained this way."

"Fart!" Wang Luo said angrily, "Marquis of Lord Wenguan, these are just your guesses. Please be cautious in your words and deeds!"

An old voice sounded:

"No! It's not a guess, the fact is just like this. As expected of the Marquis of Lord Wenguan, even though I was trapped here with me, I still figured out the truth of the matter relying on a keen sense of smell."

Lu Fang looked at the Small Bell barrier in surprise, his pupils shaking, only to see Shen Kangbo, who was skin and bones, opening and closing his mouth, just like a skeleton talking, which was extremely terrifying.

The expressions of the people on the field were different.

"Father!"

"Father, you are awake."

"Ancestor, are you okay?"

Under the witness of everyone, a magical scene happened.

The life energy of the skeleton-like Shen Kangbo burst out, swallowing all the black energy. The withered skin and flesh grew at a very fast speed and became plump. In just a dozen breaths, he had become his original appearance.

No!

The current Shen Kangbo was even more energetic, and his white hair had turned black. At first glance, he looked much younger.

Hum!

The small bell was put away by Shen Kangbo. He stood up slowly, looked at Shen Qiheng, nodded with a smile and said:

"You didn't let me down, and I didn't believe you wrong. In my eyes, you are my own son."

Shen Qiheng couldn't help but shed tears and shouted aggrievedly: "Father!"

"Hmm." Shen Kangbo responded with relief and said: "The reason I pretended to be poisoned and made the situation so bad was not to test you. I am a person who doesn't suspect those I employ, and doesn't employ those I suspect."

"When I knew I was poisoned, the first thing I thought was, what exactly do these people want to do?"

"If I don't understand, I always feel it's not right. After all, how can there be things to guard against thieves every night? Now I know, some families covet the Shen family's intelligence."

The muscles on Wang Luo's face twitched, and he barely squeezed out a smile:

"Kangbo, good means! I just felt something was wrong. With your scheming, how could you be poisoned so easily? But don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, I didn't poison you."

Shen Kangbo smiled and said: "Old brother, I really don't know how you poisoned me, but we both know each other well. Is it really you? Do you really want me to produce evidence?" ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
