After Fang Ping finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Everyone is familiar with the time-honored Wen Family. The Tang Sect’s hidden weapon is number one, but its poison is slightly inferior. The number one poison in the world must be the Wen Family’s Five Poison Formation.
How to use poison does not depend on the poison itself, but on the person who applies the poison. The Wen family specializes in poison. Just standing there is a poison, and everyone in the world will avoid it.
And Jiu Qingyu will not let the Wen family dine with other guests, just to avoid such a situation...
But it still happened.
The shopkeeper Yuxu lowered his head and cupped his hands and said:
"For families like the Wen family, Tang Clan, etc. who come to dine, Jiu Qingyu will arrange a special box, and the Wen family rarely moves around, and they haven't entertained them for half a year.
"The special box is not in use today, please be careful with the Sword Immortal."
It would undoubtedly be an oversight on his part to allow the Wen family to dine in public in the building.
"Yes, Sword Immortal, Qingzhou has its own way. If anyone worth noting enters the city, the shadows will report it."
Mr. Mu said:
"Please rest assured, Sword Immortal, this person will be caught and brought to justice."
Qingzhou, like Xueyue City, has its own intelligence system - it comes and goes without a trace, no sound is heard, and no trace is detected, so it is called the Shadow Intelligence Group.
Fang Ping pointed to an inconspicuous nail groove on the crab and said:
"There is a wound in the nail groove, which is conical in shape and contains a gap. It is caused by a sharp object poking in and being undercut when it is pulled out.
"To be precise, it was the scorpion's tail that poked the crab.
"This poison is unusual, it does not cause death, it does not mute the throat or blindness, it only poisons the meridians, making the internal energy blocked, the martial arts useless, and the limbs and trunk unable to move for life.
"Just one drop can paralyze a master of the Happy Heaven Realm and turn him into a vegetative state, worse than trash.
"More importantly, this poison has a characteristic - the toxin spreads secretly and slowly, so it is not easy to detect, and it also delays the onset.
"The bigger the poisoned person is, the higher his cultivation level, and the longer the delay time."
Fang Ping paused and looked at Mr. Mu meaningfully:
"For the Mysterious Realm, it takes almost three hours for the poison to take effect. Although you will not become a vegetative state, your martial arts will be abolished and your strength may drop to the Vajra Mortal Realm.
"Master Mu, you should be aware of this man's vicious schemes."
Mr. Mu clenched his fists, his face looked horribly dark:
"I'm trying to make the Sword Immortal poison the Mu family and destroy each other in one fell swoop."
Yuxu was startled, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly ordered to his subordinates:
"Seal the entire building. No one present or in the back is allowed to leave!"
If the reason cannot be found out, Jiu Qingyu must be responsible for this crime, and the Mu family and Xuanjing experts are weighing on his head, so there is no need to open this restaurant.
Fang Ping glanced at the guests around him and said calmly:
"The Wen family's Five Poison Array uses the five poisonous poisons of the pied toad, the two-headed centipede, the red spider, the green-skinned snake, and the three-tailed scorpion.
"The person who used the poison made a three-tailed scorpion. It seems that the Wen family has a good relationship with Xueyue City. Come out on your own."
Mr. Mu nodded slightly. The Wen family was one of Xueyue City's allies, but since the other party dared to poison, it might not be easy.
Sure enough, no one in the building acknowledged it.
"Then let's search and find the poisonous scorpion," Mr. Mu said solemnly, "Please cooperate with everyone present. If you have nothing to do with you, you can go to Mu's house to get a compensation."
When this happened suddenly, everyone was somewhat conflicted, but Mr. Mu had been in the business world for many years and knew how to appease him.
One person from the Four Immortals Table stood up and handed over his hands:
"Since Mr. Mu has spoken, Yudian Zhai will do his best to cooperate, and we can find the person who poisoned him as soon as possible."
"Yeah, otherwise I won't be able to eat this meal," another person agreed.
Yuxu's expression remained unchanged and he said loudly:
"Today's situation is special. All the expenses will be borne by Jiu Qingyu. When the dust settles, we can entertain you all for free.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Restaurant catering, as important as food, is reputation.
After the first table took the lead, the other diners at the Four Immortals table stood up one after another and expressed their willingness to cooperate. Some even took off their coats on their own initiative.
In fact, they had no room for bargaining at all. As long as the Mu family wanted to, even if they were killed by Jiu Qingyu, the news would not leak out at all.
As for the cause of death, it was nothing more than accidental injury due to poisoning or food poisoning...
The warriors guarding the aisle came forward, six people gathered around a table, and began to search the diners' belongings.
Although the latter is unwilling in his heart, the Mu family is in charge, so instead of having a dark face and being unpopular, it is better to smile and act like a familiar face, and it is not impossible to be promoted in the future.
Mr. Mu looked at the middle seat:
"Everyone from Baolong Jade, Star Dream, and Violet, can you give Mu this face?"
These three companies are engaged in jade gemstones, clothing customization, and furniture customization respectively. They are considered to be the top group among Qingzhou merchants.
The shopkeeper of Baolong Jade stood up, touched Ye Ming’s finger and said:
"It's not me anyway. I don't feel guilty. If you want to search, just search. This is the sincerity of my Zhao family.
"Haha, I hope the Mu family will also show sincerity."
Mr. Mu nodded slightly:
"That's natural."
Immediately afterwards, several other tables also expressed their willingness to cooperate, but also promised to be "sincere" friends with the Mu family.
The largest merchants in Qingzhou are the Mu family, but other merchants should not be underestimated. They also have a place in Qingzhou.
On the surface, they cooperated, but in fact, they conducted a transaction called "sincerity."
The small businessmen in the Four Immortals Table are not qualified to trade at all.
Fang Ping sat down again and ate some non-poisonous food. Anyway, he only had to make the last move, and others would do the process for him.
After the communication was completed, almost everyone in the city expressed cooperation, except for two tables of Eight Immortals who showed resistance.
One is the Qingzhou Jin family, the richest businessman under the Mu family, who is called Qingzhou Autonomous and reaches Tianqi directly.
"You have the power of a king, and you still have to be insulted by this kind of personality?"
"The Jin family demands an open trial from the government. Neither the Mu family nor Jiu Qingyu has the power to do so. Do you really think that the Mu family in Qingzhou can cover the sky with one hand?"
The Jin family and the Mu family have been fighting for generations, and Mr. Mu had already expected that they would not accept it.
The second one is a warrior from Wushuang City who respects martial arts and disdains the use of poison.
"Other businessmen are afraid, but we at Wushuang City are not afraid. If we do it, we do it. If we don't do it, we don't do it.
"Why should I be labeled as a poisoner when I come here to eat with no problem? We do not accept such suspicion!"
It is normal for the Jin family to be against the Mu family. Foreign warriors have their own nature and do not accept unreasonable doubts.
The two sides have different motives, but beneath the surface motives, there may be hidden motives - the person who poisoned the table is among the people at the two tables.
Mr. Mu said solemnly:
"I'm not doubting you, but this matter must be explained. Afterwards, the Mu family will be compensated."
The head of the Jin family snorted softly, tapped the table and said:
"Listen to the tone of the word 'compensation', you are worthy of being number one in Qingzhou, and you don't take us seriously at all.
"Everyone in Wushuang City, what do you think?"
Just as the latter was about to speak, a sword chant echoed throughout the Nine Green Jade Tower.
"Zheng——"
The sound was clear and melodious, and all the strings of the twelve zithers on the left were broken.
