After hearing the test results, the middle-aged man's face became a little ugly, and his eyes became a little more angry.
The middle-aged man glanced at the corpse on the ground and ordered to his men: "Go and call the steward in charge of meals."
If there is a problem with the food, it is natural to start from the dining room. There are many people in Yipintang. Although the boy who is responsible for delivering the food is also a member of Yipintang, there are so many people that the middle-aged man cannot remember them all, even on a cloud boat.
He couldn't even recognize many of his servants.
One of his subordinates took the order and left, and the middle-aged man said to Lin Chen and others: "You guys, please rest for a while. Don't worry, our Yipintang will definitely explain this matter to you."
Lin Chen and the others didn't say anything else. Although Yipintang was powerful, this incident happened on their Yunzhou, so they naturally had to give an explanation to their customers.
The more powerful the power, the more they care about reputation and face, so even if Lin Chen and others don't tell them, Yipintang will be responsible for investigating this matter.
Lin Chen could feel that the auras of these people were not weak, at least they were all masters of the fourth realm or above. The middle-aged man gave people a feeling of being in an abyss. He could no longer see through these powerful people.
He guessed that even if the middle-aged man did not have the strength of the Seventh Realm, he would not be far behind.
Yipintang is a force in Central Continent. There are such powerful people in a Yunzhou. Their strength is fully demonstrated. Even Tianji Pavilion will not provoke Yipintang at will. After this incident, Yipintang will definitely increase its precautions. This
It is beneficial and harmless to Lin Chen and others.
Soon the subordinate came over with a man. This man was shiny and slightly fat. He was indeed the steward of the dining room. It could be seen from his physique that the food was definitely not bad.
The kitchen steward probably knew what happened and saluted the middle-aged man nervously.
The middle-aged man glanced at the kitchen steward coldly, pointed to the body on the ground and said, "Is this person from your kitchen?"
The kitchen steward glanced at the corpse, then shook his head and said, "Sir, this person is not a waiter in the kitchen. Everyone in the kitchen knows him, but his subordinates have never seen him before."
The middle-aged man looked at the kitchen steward with sharp eyes: "You must see clearly, you must know the consequences of deceiving me."
The kitchen steward said hurriedly: "My subordinates don't dare."
The middle-aged man's expression softened a little: "Although he is not from your dining room, there is a problem with the food, and you cannot escape the blame. I will fine you one month's monthly payment."
How dare the kitchen manager have an opinion?
This kind of punishment can be said to be quite light, and it is just a show for Lin Chen and others to see.
This was an internal matter within Yipintang, so Lin Chen and the others were naturally not in a position to ask about it. In fact, the kitchen manager also took the blame for some reason, so Yipintang did this to give them face.
The middle-aged man waved his hand to the kitchen steward, and then the kitchen steward felt a huge stone fall in his heart. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and left.
Although it was not a problem within Yipintang, the middle-aged man's expression did not ease.
After all, the fact that the incident happened on their Yunzhou shows that there are still problems with Yipintang's protective measures.
In fact, this was the first time that this kind of thing happened. Few people dared to cause trouble on Yipintang's Yunzhou, which led to Yipintang's neglect of precautions and others taking advantage of the loophole.
The middle-aged man ordered his subordinates again: "Everyone, thoroughly investigate all the suspicious people on the Yunzhou, and you must find out this matter. I want to see who dares to do this on our Yipintang's Yunzhou."
Hands and feet.”
"yes."
All the men under his command bowed and took orders.
After doing all this, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Chen and others: "Although the fault of this matter is not due to a few people, it is also because of a few people."
Nangong Han frowned, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "What do you mean?"
Could it be that Yipintang still wants to hold them accountable?
If someone kills, he kills, and they don't feel wronged. Therefore, even if they are facing the super power of Yipintang, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, this is on Yipintang's Yunzhou, and they definitely don't want to damage Yipintang.
reputation.
The middle-aged man said slowly: "Don't misunderstand me, I just want to ask if you have offended anyone, or is there anyone who wants to harm you? I hope you can cooperate."
Lin Chen and others naturally guessed who did it.
Luo Yu looked at Xingtong and Lin Chen, but hesitated to speak.
Lin Chen understood what Luo Yu meant. Since Tianji Pavilion did this, Yipintang would definitely not find out anything. However, he had no intention of telling the middle-aged man his guess.
First, because Tianji Pavilion is no weaker than Yipintang in Central Continent, Tianji Pavilion is afraid of Yipintang, and Yipintang is also afraid of Tianji Pavilion. Without conclusive evidence, Yipintang will not provoke Tianji Pavilion casually, even if they find the evidence.
Will Yipintang offend Tianji Pavilion because of this matter? Everyone knows the stakes. There is no need to make the matter bigger because of a trivial matter, and Tianji Pavilion is not targeting Yipintang.
The second reason is that Lin Chen also cannot trust Yipintang.
And once things get serious, his identity will most likely be exposed, and he doesn't want to expose his identity yet.
What Lin Chen could think of, Nangong Han naturally thought of it too. Looking at the attitudes of Xingtong and Lin Chen, he understood what they were thinking, and said to the middle-aged man: "I'm sorry, we didn't have any issues with anyone. We also want to
I don’t know that anyone will want to harm us, so we can’t give an answer to this question.”
The middle-aged man looked at several people. With his experience, how could he not know that Nangong Han was not telling the truth.
The identities of these people are definitely not simple, and they are unwilling to tell the truth. There must be some reason for this. Although Yipintang is powerful, they don’t want to wade into any muddy waters. They just want to ensure that no more accidents will happen during the rest of the trip. As for these people
Their identity and the things behind it were not wanted by Yipintang.
"In this case, we won't disturb your rest."
The middle-aged man ordered people to clean up the poisoned food, then ordered his servants to bring another meal, and then left with the others.
After the people from Yipintang left, Luo Yu couldn't help but said: "The person who poisoned him was probably sent by Tianji Pavilion. Even if he is not sure, he has something to do with them. Why didn't we tell Yipintang?"
The reason why he didn't express his thoughts at that time was because he didn't know the attitudes of Lin Chen and others, and because this matter involved the two superpowers of Central Continent, he still had a sense of proportion.
Nangong Han glanced at Luo Yu, as if looking at an idiot.
No, what does this look mean? Did I say it wrong? Luo Yu looked at Xingtong and Lin Chen again.
Lin Chen said: "Even if we tell Yipintang our suspicions, they will not offend Tianji Pavilion because of this trivial matter. Moreover, many people now know that Tianji Pavilion is targeting us, but Yipintang does not know our identity, and
Once we express our suspicions, do you think this will expose our identities?"
Luo Yu was stunned and felt that what Lin Chen said made sense. He didn't think so much at the time. However, what would happen if Yipintang knew their identities? Yipintang is not Tianji Pavilion, so would it still be detrimental to them?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not speak out because that would make him appear too dull. In fact, he was just not good at thinking.
