Chapter 12: The Showdown

When he saw the strong man last night, he took it for granted that the axe on his back was used for logging, but now that he thought about it, the content of their conversation, and even the loud man's deliberately raised voice when he spoke of wood, were very suspicious.

That Wu Qiang seemed to know when he would come, when Jiolin didn't find him before, he hadn't talked about business for so long, and he started talking when Jiolin arrived.

"Since you are a thief, why did you deliberately spend two years to get close to Shen Yi?"

Wang Shentong thought for a moment and said, "At first, I probably came here for that house, but when I saw Shen Yi, I saw that I was interested," he scratched his head, "Probably." ”

Wang Shentong planned to go to Shen's house to expose Wu Qiang's true face, but he was stopped by Jilin.

"This Wu Qiang is likely to be a martial artist above the Shengmen Realm, so he can't take advantage of it rashly. ”

Wang Shen couldn't take care of it so much, so he instructed Ji Lin: "You report to Zheng Yang, I'll go to Shen Yi and talk to her first." After speaking, he went alone despite the persuasion of Ji Lin.

Wang Shentong couldn't tell why he was so keen to demolish Wu Qiang, probably because he couldn't see anyone doing things in the skin of an honest person.

Wang Shentong hurried to Shen's house, and the sun was just beginning to rise. He knocked on the door of the Shen family, and after a long while, Shen Yi's voice asked:

"Who?"

"Me. After thinking about it, her voice didn't seem to be able to be heard by her, and added: "Wang Shentong." ”

It was quiet for a while, and then he asked, "Is there anything wrong with the boss?"

Wang Shentong frowned: "Yes, can you open the door?"

Shen Yi stopped talking.

Wang Shentong waited anxiously, and knocked on the door a few more times, only then there was a sound of clicking and pulling the deadbolt, Shen Yi leaned out half of her body, and did not open the door completely, she had a little apology on her face, and asked, "So early, I don't know what happened to Boss Wang Shen?"

Wang Shentong saw that she was wearing home clothes, thinking that it was inconvenient for her, so he moved his eyes down and said, "There is something wrong with this Wu Qiang." ”

Shen Yi's body tightened, but he was not as surprised as he imagined.

"You have to watch out for him. Wang Shentong didn't react to her, so he raised his head and looked at her firmly.

Shen Yi nodded slightly: "Got it, thank you boss for reminding me." If the boss has nothing to do, please come back, I'm going to start making breakfast?"

Wang Shentong blocked the door with his hand: "I said that Wu Qiang has a problem, he is a thief." ”

"Got it. Shen Yi said calmly.

Wang Shentong was confused by Shen Yi's reaction, so he emphasized: "It is very likely that it is in the same group as the bandit who killed your father two years ago!"

At this time, Shen Yi finally changed his face: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"What's the good of me talking nonsense?"

Shen Yi was asked.

Wang Shentong looked at Shen Yi's reaction, thinking that Shen Yi felt that he had a plan, and he was talking nonsense about the relationship between her and Wu Qiang, so he explained: "I don't want you anything, I want you money?" Wang Shentong didn't give up, "Or do you want you?" He waved his hand, "Don't tease, you're not the type I like." ”

Shen Yi's face changed, and her eyes became foggy, but she just said calmly in the end, "I know." Shen Yi hid his body behind the door, "If the boss has nothing to do, please go back first, I'm going to cook." ”

The door was shut.

"What the hell?" Wang Shentong's enthusiasm for revealing the truth was poured with cold water, a little discouraged, he didn't expect Shen Yi to be so unappreciative, he was fine before today. But if you think about it carefully, don't blame her, one is the eldest brother who has helped countless people in the past two years, and the other is a businessman who met in Pingshui, most people will choose to believe the former.

After Wang Shentong adjusted himself, he was ready to leave first, collect more evidence, and then make plans.

Wang Shentong was about to ride away when he noticed that the horse tethered to him had disappeared at some point, and he looked around and found a man leading his horse out of town.

Wang Shentong caught up, but before he could speak, the man turned back.

"I saw that you and Xiao Yi were chatting happily, and I wanted to take your horse out to eat some grass. Wu Qiang said with a smile.

Wu Qiang helped Wang Shentong onto the horse and led the horse to the suburbs, and the two were speechless all the way. Wang Shentong sat on the horse and was uneasy, and only then did he remember Ji Lin's advice, if this person is born in the realm of the door, he has a bad heart, and there is not much difference between killing himself and pinching an ant to death.

"It took me a lot of effort to investigate, right?" Wu Qiang suddenly spoke, his tone unexpectedly relaxed.

Wang Shentong couldn't figure out what he meant, so he could only nod politely: "Hmm." ”

"Did you find out anything?" Wu Qiang asked.

"You're a bandit. Wang Shentong said.

"Not bad. Wu Qiang admitted.

"Two years ago, you participated in the attack on Shen Yi's convoy. ”

"That's up for debate. Wu Qiang was noncommittal.

"Are you a living realm?"

Wu Qiang looked up at him: "Is Young Master Wang Shen also interested in this?"

Wang Shentong noticed the change in Wu Qiang's address to himself: "You also investigated me?"

"Of course," Wu Qiang touched the horse's head, "the son of the wealthy merchant Wang Shenji's family in Dengcheng, just check it a little." ”

Wang Shentong's shadow suddenly flashed in his mind, thinking that he would also investigate himself clearly after that day, after all, it was the government, and it was much easier to find people than thieves, no wonder, he didn't find his own trouble after that day.

Wu Qiang squatted and watched the horses graze: "To be honest, I am afraid of the revenge of the Wang Shen family, which is why I am talking to you calmly now, instead of killing people." ”

Wang Shentong was puzzled, he understood that his family was rich, of course, he didn't know how rich he was, he only knew that he had never worried about money since he was a child, but to say that even the thieves were afraid of his family's revenge, he didn't believe it.

As if he saw Wang Shentong's doubts, Wu Qiang smiled and said: "What is the child, you Wang Shentong has such a flamboyant style of acting, and you haven't encountered anything when you are so old, do you really think it is the ability of your little bodyguard?"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Wang Shentong was difficult to ride a horse and was very uncomfortable.

"I'll give you a showdown, I'm a thief," he stood up, "I first approached Shen Yi for her family's house, and you know that this thing is not like gold, and it can't be taken away, so I encouraged her to sell it and exchange it for money, so she can make some money." I have a lot of looted herbs there, all of them are worthless things, and it will be enough to treat her sister......"

"Then why did you poison her sister?" interrupted Wang Shentong.

Wu Qiang glanced at him: "Her sister is often ill, lying in bed, and she can't die for a long time, and it's a burden to live." ”

"Cumbersome?" Wang Shentong didn't understand, what did his sister have to do with him dragging Shen Yi down.

Wu Qiang was very dissatisfied with Wang Shentong always interrupting him: "It's just a burden, after I marry Shen Yi, how much trouble will this sister cause me!"

Wang Shentong was stunned, after Wu Qiang made his words clear, he thought that Wu Qiang was just for money, but he didn't expect this person to still talk about marrying Shen Yi.

"You've got the money, why don't you let them go?"

"Because I love Shen Yi," Wu Qiang said without thinking about it, "Do you know love little fart?"

Wang Shentong was disgusted: "A murderous executioner told me about love?"

"You're really not afraid of death. Wu Qiang said viciously, "It's true that I'm a thief, but which eye did you see that I killed someone?

It is true that the government does not have a criminal record against him.

"After marrying Shen Yi, I am willing to wash my hands in a golden basin, and according to my understanding of the Tao, I can find a job as a dart master and have no problem supporting my family. I also want to live an ordinary life, I have been preparing for this day for two years, and I have taken meticulous care of Shen Yi in the past two years, if it was just for money, I would have sold her family's assets a long time ago. ”

Wang Shentong remembered that Shen Yi said that Wu Qiang had not let her sell the house, and now he figured it out.

Wu Qiang's tone suddenly softened: "I'll tell you these things now, I just hope that you will let me go." ”

Wu Qiang's sudden pleading gesture made Wang Shentong unable to react at once, Wu Qiang is too divided, with an honest and honest appearance, but he is a thief who does all kinds of evil, obviously killing people without blinking, but now he talks about his love.

Wang Shentong said: "You don't have a criminal record in the government, even if I don't let you go, it won't have any impact on you, right?"

"You showed up and it made a difference. ”

"I breathe, you take a breath?" Wang Shentong was still talking nonsense.

"Can't you see that Shen Yi likes you?" Wu Qiang didn't want to say that, the girl he had liked for two years fell in love with someone he had just met for a few days, and no one wanted to admit it.

"How is that possible?" Wang Shentong said in surprise, "Didn't you just see her attitude towards me? Is that the attitude towards the person you like?"

Wu Qiang didn't want to explain. In fact, after Wang Shentong and the two left last night, he asked Shen Yi what the two of them had done during the day, and when Shen Yi said that Wang Shentong specially asked for the medicine that Shen Yao usually took, he knew that Wang Shentong was already suspicious of him. He used Shen Yi's trust in her, saying that Wang Shentong and the two businessmen were temperamental, and seeing that her two sisters were lonely, they might want to pay attention to her house, and just the next day Wang Shentong came to say that Wu Qiang was a thief, Shen Yi naturally didn't believe it, and thought of what Wu Qiang said to himself, thinking that Wang Shentong was sowing discord in order to start, so he had a cold attitude.

As for Shen Yi's liking for Wang Shentong, it was just Wu Qiang's unilateral speculation. Wang Shentong's son-in-law style and natural self-confidence must be attractive to Shen Yi. Wu Qiang himself suffered too much when he was a child, and later became a bandit and dealt with a group of old men, and he looked average, he knew that he didn't like girls, and Wang Shentong's appearance made him feel pressure. Shen Yi has a considerable degree of affection for Wang Shentong, and his words will have a great impact on her, although Wang Shentong can't find evidence that Wu Qiang has anything to do with Shen's father's death, but as long as it is confirmed that Wu Qiang is a thief and poisoned her sister, Shen Yi will definitely not marry him.

Wu Qiang wanted to secretly kill Wang Shentong, but the Wang Shen family would definitely find out about himself, at that time, he couldn't bear the revenge from Wang Shen's family, he still had many brothers under him, Wu Qiang didn't dare to take risks easily. The showdown with Wang Shentong is also to make him give up, a good son-in-law is not appropriate, why bother to do these thankless things, as long as Wang Shentong is willing to retreat, everyone will be fine.

"Don't dig any deeper, is it okay?" Wu Qiang looked at Wang Shentong fiercely.

"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. ”

A man lay on a nearby branch and said lazily.
