My Wife Is a Transmigrated Master Cultivator

Chapter 1239: What Exactly Went Wrong?

“I really didn’t expect the auction house under the Octagon Sect, one of the five great sects, to sell problematic pills. Who would dare to enter the Octagon Auction House in the future?”

“Damn! The pills are really poisonous. Could it be that what we ate before was also poisonous?”

“This… This shouldn’t be, right? We’re fine, right?”

“Just because nothing happened now doesn’t mean that nothing will happen in the future. Who knows if it’ll delay the outbreak of the poison?”

“Right, who knows if we’ll die for no reason? No, I have to seek justice from the Octagon Auction House too. They even took out poisonous pills to sell. The Octagon Auction House is simply despicable!”

“Right! We should seek justice. We can’t let ourselves die for no reason!”

With one person speaking, many people behind started to respond one after another. They even looked like they were going to rush in.

For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.

“Why aren’t you compensating us with gold coins? Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word and not pay up!”

Seeing that Zuo Wei didn’t move or speak, the strong man was immediately unhappy.

Seeing that the people outside had also started to make a fuss, the middle-aged woman was afraid that the compensation would be divided, so she hurriedly shouted, “Hurry up and pay up. Twenty million gold coins, not a single gold coin less. I still have to go back and bury my daughter-in-law and my grandson who hasn’t been born yet!”

“Manager Zuo.”

Tian Hongcheng looked at the aggressive mother and son of the He family and felt uncomfortable.

The whole thing didn’t look suspicious on the surface, but he had a feeling that someone had set this up on purpose.

However, they couldn’t find any evidence.

Zuo Wei sighed deeply and looked at the leading forensic doctor. “Was she really poisoned to death?”

The leader of the forensic doctors understood what he meant and nodded firmly. “The victim really died from poisoning.”

As a forensic doctor, he also knew that there was a drug that could make people fake their deaths.

So, he had specially studied that kind of fake death drug and at the same time, he could differentiate if a person was really dead or faked his death.

Hearing the forensic doctor’s affirmative answer, a hint of confusion flashed through Zuo Wei’s eyes.

The middle-aged woman’s happy reaction when she found out that her daughter-in-law was pregnant wasn’t fake.

But now, she was really dead. What went wrong?

Zuo Wei knew very well that what was happening in front of him was set up by someone. However, even though they knew that it was set up, if they couldn’t expose it on the spot, the Octagon Auction House would still lose.

Even if the case was reversed after this, the reputation of the Octagon Auction House would definitely not be as good as before.

“Zuo Wei! Are you going to pay or not? If you don’t pay, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Seeing that the matter was about to succeed, but Zuo Wei refused to pay, the strong man immediately panicked.

That person had promised him that no matter how much compensation he received, it would belong to their family.

He had originally thought that extorting a few million would be the maximum. Unexpectedly, the tables had turned and he had picked up more than ten million gold coins for nothing. This simply made him ecstatic!

“Oh? I wonder how you’re going to be rude?”

Before Zuo Wei spoke, an indifferent female voice sounded in everyone’s ears first.

The voice wasn’t loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

It could be seen how powerful the owner of this voice was.

Everyone looked over in unison and saw an extraordinary man and woman walking out of the backyard of the Octagon Auction House.

“Alchemist Lu, Senior Mu, I’m really sorry for disturbing your seclusion.”

Thinking that the commotion outside made Lu Zijia and the others unable to continue cultivating in peace, Zuo Wei said with an apologetic and ashamed look..
