At least Xu Chao is a clear-headed man. The best thing to do at this moment is to pretend that nothing happened.

The wisest thing to do is to find another opportunity to get rid of the person behind the scenes.

Xue Yang did not reveal any evidence. So what even if they knew it was him?

Unable to produce any evidence at all, the Xu family still could do nothing to him.

Instead, it will backfire and alert the enemy.

It would be better to pretend that nothing happened and let Xue Yang guess and worry.

The next day, Xue Yang and Ling Shuming were waiting early.

As long as someone dies, someone will definitely report it to the police. They just need to wait and pretend nothing happened.

But the two of them waited until noon but no one came to report to the police.

Ling Shuming couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Could it be that no one had discovered that someone was dead yet?

Otherwise, why didn't anyone report to the police?

Xue Yang thought about it for a while, and he asked Ling Shuming hesitantly, "Could it be that they are not dead?"

Ling Shuming instantly retorted: "Impossible, I know my poison well."

"Anyone who is poisoned will surely die."

It's impossible that the person is not dead. His method has always worked in the capital, let alone in this remote place.

There are many talented people in the capital, and he can always succeed.

We can't have an accident in Huai County.

And even if someone is not poisoned, it will only be an isolated case.

Take the stranger named Zhou for example. He had several men with great martial arts skills and they might not have died immediately.

You can't say that the Xu family also has experts.

Aren’t the servants of the Xu family all okay?

They had to drink water and eat food, and he didn't just poison the well water.

It is the water stored in the jar, as well as the selected vegetables and meat.

It's impossible to avoid all of these.

If all of them are possible, it would be strange.

Unless you see a ghost!

The two of them sat there until the sun was almost setting, and there was no sound of any untoward wind.

Everything was going on as usual, which made Ling Shuming feel a little unconfident.

It was as if what he did last night was just a dream, and in fact he didn't poison anyone at all.

Finally, Xue Yang couldn't wait any longer, so he sent someone to inquire.

Xue Yang and Ling Shuming looked at each other in silence, both eagerly waiting for the person who had gone to inquire to return.

The person who went out came back in less than half an hour. He knelt on the ground and told everyone what he had seen.

"The adults and children went to check, and the Xu family is fine. The neighbors also said that nothing happened."

"I went to ask around and heard that the Xu family's servant went out to buy things this morning."

"As for the outsiders in Baihua Lane you mentioned, they don't seem to be in any trouble."

After the man finished speaking, Ling Shuming stood up instantly. His face was extremely ugly: "Impossible, I clearly poisoned them, how could they be intact?"

"I don't believe it. I'll go and see for myself."

After saying that, Ling Shuming strode out.

The person who reported this was Xue Yang's own subordinate, so he naturally knew whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

He looked at Ling Shuming's disappearing back with a gloomy face, looking extremely unhappy. It was a good thing that he didn't hand over the gold.

Otherwise he would lose both the wife and the army.

At this moment, Xue Yang did not think highly of Ling Shuming at all. He felt that Ling Shuming had no ability at all.

It's just boasting.

Otherwise, even if no one died, there would always be someone seeking medical treatment due to poisoning.

Xue Yang couldn't help but feel that Ling Shuming had come here specifically to defraud him of his gold. He had completely forgotten the feeling of being on the verge of death when they met that day.

Xue Yang found Wu Yong and wanted to ask him what Wu Yong's intention was.

Who is this person? He didn’t even cause any minor injuries to others!

Isn't this just to fool him and make him think he is stupid so as to get the bounty?

Wu Yong was still a little confused when he was called over. Just as he walked over, he was kicked to the ground by Xue Yang.

He was unable to dodge and was kicked to the ground.

Still feeling unsatisfied, Xue Yang kicked him a few more times.

Wu Yong held his head, not daring to resist until Xue Yang got tired.

Xue Yang was panting, with his hands on his hips, looking at Wu Yong fiercely: "How powerful do you think Ling Shuming is?"

Wu Yong nodded: "No one can cure his poison."

"I really didn't lie about this, sir."

"Didn't you personally experience it that day?"

Xue Yang looked at Wu Yong fiercely: "It was because I didn't check for a while that he took advantage of the opportunity."

"Tell me, did you deliberately team up with him to cheat me out of my thousand taels of gold?"

Wu Yong suddenly felt extremely wronged. How could he dare to think like that?

"My Lord, I don't have any!"

"Even if you give me a hundred courages, I still won't dare."

Xue Yang snorted coldly, his expression grim: "Don't dare? I think you are very brave."

"What a powerful master, but he is also a waste!"

After Xue Yang finished speaking, Wu Yong looked around vigilantly and was relieved to see that Ling Shuming was not there.

Wu Yong hurriedly whispered: “Sir, Mr. Ling is not useless.”

"He used to be very successful in the capital. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Xue Yang's face was full of coldness: "He vowed to poison me last night, and today he just waits for the Xu family to die suddenly."

"But what's the result?"

"I have been waiting from morning till this afternoon, but no one has come to report to the authorities. I sent people to inquire about the matter, but they are still alive and well!"

Wu Yong was immediately puzzled: "No, I have experienced Mr. Ling's methods before."

Xue Yang sneered, "It's normal for a loser like you to fall for his trick."

"He still wants my reward. He is dreaming."

"If he wants to make trouble unreasonably, I will let him have a taste of the pain of prison."

Wu Yong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

He can't afford to offend both sides, so the more he says, the more mistakes he makes, and the less he says, the better!

Let the two of them sort it out.

He was very clear about Ling Shuming's methods, which were definitely not as useless as Xue Yang said.

Not to mention other things, they were able to poison him without anyone noticing. Not to mention those outsiders, those people from the Xu family could have captured him easily.

Everything is fine now, could it be that there is some master around?

Wu Yong guessed this by accident, but he didn't say it out loud.

He knew that even if he told it, Xue Yang would not believe it.

Ling Shuming went out angrily and went to find out.

He couldn't believe that his poison had become so ineffective that he couldn't even knock down a single person.

It’s impossible that Jiang Huaihe came to Huai County.

Thinking of this, Ling Shuming shook his head again, thinking it was impossible.

He has always been paying attention to Jiang Huaihe's news, for no other reason than that Jiang Huaihe is too strong for him.

So he always paid attention to Jiang Huaihe's news, and he would never go anywhere Jiang Huaihe was.

He had just heard some time ago that Jiang Huaihe had married a young lady in the capital, so how could he come to Huai County now?

But it’s a bit strange to think about it this way.
