Pang Guang heaved a long sigh in response to Yun Xiaoyao's interrogation, then admitted in relief, "That's right, I was the one who poisoned him."
His words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples, causing an uproar at the scene in an instant.
"You with the surname Pang, you goddamn bastard! You deserve to die a horrible death! "
"Why? My father has no grudge with you, why did you poison him?! "
For a moment, all sorts of insults and curses rang out incessantly.
Looking at the furious crowd, Pang Guang's eyes were filled with despair and relief.
Jiang Chao stood up and said to Pang Guang, "Pang Guang, how much did the Yun family give you to make you willingly take the blame for them?"
"Don't forget, you have a wife and child. If you die just like that, what will happen to them?"
Hearing Jiang Chao's words, Pang Guang broke down into maniacal laughter. "Wife and child? How dare you f * cking say that! "
After a few guffaws, Pang Guang quickly untied his waist pouch and took out a small black cloth bag.
Pang Guang undid the bag with trembling hands, revealing a few bloody fingers.
When he saw the fingers, Pang Guang's eyes turned bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and spat out, "Seven days ago, my wife and child were kidnapped. Those bastards used the lives of my wife and child to threaten me to poison them. "
"I didn't agree to it at first, so they sent a finger of my wife and child to me every day. They even threatened to chop off my head after I chopped off all the fingers! "
Hearing Pang Guang's words, Jiang Chao's expression changed drastically. He immediately warned Pang Guang in a threatening tone, "Pang Guang, you better think about the consequences before you speak!"
Pang Guang turned his head abruptly and glared at Jiang Chao with a menacing gaze, roaring with hatred, "The ones who kidnapped my wife and child are from the Jiang family, and the one who threatened me is him … Jiang Chao!"
Jiang Chao!
The last two words, Pang Guang almost roared out hysterically.
For a moment, the crowd's gaze fell on Jiang Chao.
Faced with countless doubtful gazes, Jiang Chao subconsciously took a step back and looked at Jiang Shijian for help.
Pang Guang, on the other hand, turned around and knelt before Yun Xiaoyao guiltily. "Master, I, Pang Guang, have wronged the Yun Family, and even more so, I have wronged you. I know my sins are grave. You don't have to do it yourself. I will commit suicide as an apology! "
After Pang Guang finished speaking, he took out a treasured saber from his waist and swiped it across his neck.
"Stop!"
Just as Yun Xiaoyao was about to step forward to stop him, he was still a step too late. Pang Guang cut his throat first.
"You were forced into a corner. I didn't say that I would blame you. Why did you have to do this?" Yun Xiaoyao looked at Pang Guang, who was lying on the ground, his face filled with sorrow.
"Patriarch, I … I'm sorry. Please … save my … wife … and son … "Pang Guang's mouth was blocked by the blood that gushed out, and his consciousness became blurry.
A tear of regret flowed from the corner of Pang Guang's eye. In the end, he left this world with hatred and unwillingness.
Yun Xiaoyao stretched out his palm and gently brushed it across Pang Guang's face, helping him close his widened eyes.
Then, Yun Xiaoyao stood up abruptly and glared at Jiang Chao and the rest of the Jiang family. "If you have any tricks up your sleeves, come at me, Yun Xiaoyao. Why involve so many innocent people?"
Hearing Yun Xiaoyao's words, the crowd began to discuss in hushed voices.
Many began to think that the Yun family had been framed, and that the Jiang family was the real culprit.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Shijian immediately pointed at Lin Yun and said to the crowd, "Can't you see? This is the Yun family sacrificing a guard to put on a show of suffering! "
"Don't forget, the Jiang family has many victims too! Would the Jiang family use the life of one of our own to frame the Yun family? "
Yun Xiaoyao glared at Jiang Shijian coldly. "Jiang Shijian, you're still trying to quibble at this point? Do you really think we're all idiots?"
Bragging Simon added, "I think Patriarch Jiang has a point. The Jiang family is a martial family that has been around for a thousand years. The family values the prosperity of its descendants. Why would they sacrifice the life of one of their own to frame someone else?"
"Furthermore, how could a mere youth like him find out about a poison that even I can't detect?"
"Is it really Yama Powder just because he says it's Yama Powder? Will black spots really appear just because he says it's going to appear? Why don't we all weigh this carefully and see if the words of a youth can be trusted? "
As a core elder of the Yu State Martial House, Bragging Simon's status in Yu State was rather high.
Hearing what he said, the crowd began to hesitate and waver.
Bragging Simon was too eloquent. With just a few words, he had turned black and white upside down. For a moment, Yun Xiaoyao and Bai Juyi did not know how to refute him.
As for Lin Yun, it was as if he had already seen through everything. He said calmly, "There are indeed many people from the Jiang family who were poisoned after consuming the Yun family's pills."
"However, these poisoned people are not real members of the Jiang family. They are not related to the Jiang family by blood. They are merely guests recruited by the Jiang family."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Jiang Shijian's eyes narrowed slightly, like a tiger about to slumber.
Indeed, as Lin Yun had said, those poisoned by the Jiang family were all guests recruited by the Jiang family. There was not a single member of the Jiang family. There was no way to hide this fact, so he did not deny it.
Lin Yun continued, "The pills produced by the Jiang family are not inferior to those produced by the Yun family. The Jiang family's guests can enjoy a discount of half price when purchasing pills from the Jiang family. Why would they spend half the price to purchase the Yun family's pills? "
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the crowd came to a sudden realization.
Although they were not guests of the Jiang family, they knew very well that the Jiang family's guests would never purchase the Yun family's pills.
However, for the past few days, the Jiang family's guests had been buying the Yun family's pills in a frenzy, as if they were possessed.
If they did not have an ulterior motive, why would they do so?
Lin Yun continued, "As for whether or not everyone has been poisoned with Yama's Powder, we will know once we examine everyone's chests. Everyone who has been poisoned actually has black spots on their chests. "
Hearing Lin Yun's words, many of the crowd stripped off the clothes of their poisoned relatives. It was only then that they realized, in shock, that there were indeed black spots on their chests.
"There really are black spots. I didn't even see them before!"
"They are exactly the same as the black spots on Guard Pang's body!"
For a moment, more and more people began to believe that the Yun family had been framed, and that the Jiang family was the real culprit. However, they did not dare to say it out loud because they did not have any evidence.
