Zhong Han was adamant that Third Master Zhong was the culprit.
Other than the name list, Shen Xinghai could not produce any other evidence. The situation fell into a stalemate.
"I have an idea. Do you want to try it?"
A clear female voice broke the silence.
Everyone turned to look at the woman who was sitting on the chair without a care for her image.
"Miss Wu Zheng, feel free to speak." Shen Xinghai spoke before Zhong Han could.
Shi Sheng smiled. "I have a drug that can make people speak the truth. Village Head Zhong, do you want to try it?"
"Who knows if you're giving me poison?" Zhong Han snorted.
Shi Sheng sneered. "If I wanted to poison you, do you think you'd still be standing?"
Shi Sheng had been too violent these days. He would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. They had almost forgotten that the woman in front of them was Grandma Yao's disciple. She had superb poison skills.
Zhong Han probably remembered as well.
"Village Head Zhong, if you want to prove your innocence, this is the easiest way."
Zhong Han's expression turned ugly.
If Zhong Han did not have a guilty conscience, he would not be afraid. But he did.
"Village Head Zhong, Miss Wu Zheng's suggestion is feasible. If you're worried, I can take it with you at the same time," Shen Xinghai suggested.
Zhong Han was in a dilemma. If he agreed and the drug that made people speak the truth was real, he would be exposed.
But if he didn't agree, it would prove that he had a guilty conscience.
Zhong Han cursed Shi Sheng's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. If she had not jumped out to cause trouble, he would have pushed the blame to his short-lived third brother.
"Village Head Zhong, what do you think?" Shen Xinghai waited for Zhong Han for a while before asking.
"I don't believe Wu Zheng," Zhong Han choked out.
"I think you're just afraid that you'll say something," Shi Sheng quickly added.
Zhong Han glared fiercely at Shi Sheng. "Wu Zheng, stop spouting nonsense. I think you're the one who colluded with my third brother. Now that you've been exposed, you're trying to frame me."
"How much money can you make from human trafficking?" Shi Sheng's face was full of disdain. "It's not even as fast as I's robbery."
Everyone: "…" Hey, hey, is it really okay to say that in front of so many people?
All the disciples: "…" Sect Leader, this kind of thing is not open and aboveboard at all. What's with that arrogant look on your face?
Zhong Han was rendered speechless by these words.
If you splash dirty water on her, she will be able to flatter herself and catch you off guard.
Shen Xinghai coughed, "I wanted to leave some face for everyone, but since Manor Lord Zhong doesn't want it, there's nothing I can do."
Zhong Han's sharp gaze swept towards Shen Xinghai. What did he mean by that?
Shen Xinghai waved to the people behind him, and a few people were pushed out from the crowd.
Shi Sheng recognized one of them. It was Ah Fu.
"Manor Lord..." Ah Fu did not dare to look at Zhong Han. "I'm sorry, Manor Lord. Second Young Master Shen knows everything."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Why was Fu on Shen Xinghai's side? Why was he speaking up for Shen Xinghai? What did he say to Shen Xinghai?
Zhong Han was a little flustered.
But more than that, he was angry. He was angry that Fu had betrayed him.
"Manor Lord Zhong, you must be unfamiliar with these people, right? They are the stewards of your Jadewater Manor. "Shen Xinghai pointed at the people beside Ah Fu.
"Manor Lord, Second Young Master Shen knows everything..." Ah Fu said bitterly. "It's Ah Fu's fault. Ah Fu has let Manor Lord down..."
Ah Fu had reached an agreement with Shen Xinghai to reveal all of Zhong Han's evil deeds.
Zhong Han wanted to kill Ah Fu to silence him, but Zhong Weiwei stopped him.
"Second Uncle, what else do you have to explain now?" Zhong Weiwei thought about how she had been captured by those people and almost sold to a brothel because of her Second Uncle. She felt a wave of disgust.
This person was her relative. How could he do such a deranged thing?
"Oh my, you so-called righteous sects are also so despicable." Shi Sheng's mocking voice was like a thorn in the hearts of the righteous sects present.
The Demonic Sect was detestable, but they were detestable in an open and aboveboard manner. Moreover, they did not lay a hand on the elderly, the weak, women, or children.
But what Zhong Han had done was worse than a beast.
Now that they were being mocked by Shi Sheng, the people on the other side were a little angry.
"Zhong Han, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing."
Zhong Han knew that there was no use in quibbling now. He quickly reached out and grabbed Zhong Weiwei, strangling her neck. He shouted at the others, "Don't come over. If you do, I'll strangle her to death."
Shen Xinghai's face tightened. He reached out and stopped the people behind him who wanted to rush forward.
"Manor Lord Zhong, let go of Weiwei."
"Get out of the way!" Zhong Han roared. "Otherwise, I'll strangle her to death."
"Second Uncle, how did my father die?" Zhong Weiwei was being held hostage, but she didn't show much panic. Instead, she asked a question that caught everyone off guard.
"How did he die? Hahaha, that idiot. I poisoned him to death. " Zhong Han's face twisted. "He's my younger brother. He actually dared to disobey me and even wanted me to stop. Don't you think I should have poisoned him to death?"
Zhong Weiwei's body trembled. Her eyes were red and bloodshot.
Zhong Han pushed Zhong Weiwei forward. "All of you, get out of the way."
Shen Xinghai asked the people to make a path. Zhong Han said proudly, "Zhong Weiwei, I didn't expect you to be of some use."
Zhong Weiwei clenched her fists and closed her eyes. A dagger suddenly slid out of her sleeve. She fiercely stabbed behind her.
Zhong Han was prepared. Zhong Weiwei's dagger only scratched his clothes. However, Zhong Han twisted and broke Zhong Weiwei's wrist.
Crack! It was a very loud and clear sound.
"Bitch, you still want to resist?"
Zhong Han roared. Suddenly, the smell of blood rose from his chest. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body suddenly lost all strength. He couldn't even hold on to Zhong Weiwei.
Seeing this, Shen Xinghai immediately went forward and pulled Zhong Weiwei into his arms.
The people behind Zhong Han were in the same situation. They fell limply to the ground. Soon, the ground was filled with people. It was a spectacular scene.
Other than the Demon Sect, no one was spared.
Even Shen Xinghai felt weak. However, it wasn't as serious as the others. He couldn't even stand up.
"Wu Zheng!" When did this demoness poison them?!
This shout cleared everyone's confusion. It was her. She was the only one here who could poison them without anyone noticing.
"Why are you calling me Sect Master?" Shi Sheng dug his ears. "You can still shout so loudly. It seems like the poison isn't serious. Do you want this Sect Master to give you a single deluxe set meal?"
Everyone: "..."
What kind of nonsense was he talking about? They didn't understand.
"Don't stare at me like that. It's embarrassing." Shi Sheng said this, but his expression was arrogant.
He was just short of writing on his face: "This Sect Master's beauty is unparalleled in the world. It's your honor to be able to admire me. Hurry up and worship me."

Little Fairy: Shameless again.
System: She never wanted it.
Shi Sheng: Shameless people are unparalleled in the world!
