Village Chief Li spoke seriously, fearing that these people would not take his words seriously.

None of the villagers are stupid and they know what they can and cannot do.

He nodded quickly to show that he understood.

Su Yunhai took the two survivors aside and interrogated them for a confession.

His face was full of fat, his expression was stern, and his eyes were droopy. He gave people the impression that he was ferocious and evil, like a Rakshasa.

"Who are you anyway?"

“Why do you want to target ordinary people like us?”

"What is your purpose? Tell me the truth!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The two officers and soldiers were already frightened by the mysterious hidden weapon in the man's hand.

...

...

He answered whatever was asked and didn't dare to act like an official at all.

"Don't kill us!"

"We really are the officers and soldiers of the county government!"

"Wang Kui from Baishi Village told us that a large number of unruly people wanted to bypass Qingyun City from the mountains and head south."

"They also said that you brought a lot of food and money, so we became greedy and wanted to rob you."

"We know that there are so many of you. To be safe, we can only drug you..."

"We really just want to take some food and money, we don't have any other intentions, please let us go! We really know we are wrong!"

One of the officers and soldiers said quickly.

Su Yunhai could feel that what this person said was 70% true and 30% false.

He took out his big knife and stabbed it into the man's palm without mercy, almost cutting off his hand.

"How dare you trick me! Don't think I didn't see you trying to kill us!"

“Ahhhh!”

The soldier roared in pain, the veins on his face and neck bulged as if they were about to burst.

He held his injured hand with one hand, fearing that it would be cut off if he moved.

The other officer didn't expect the man in front of him to be so cruel.

They started fighting as soon as they disagreed, leaving them no room for maneuver.

He knew that he was in trouble this time and these people would never let him go.

In order to avoid physical pain, he just let it all out.

"I'll tell you everything!"

"We do plan to kill you all, but we only plan to kill the useless old, weak, women and children."

"We will take the young and strong men and the young girls and wives back to the county government office and lock them up."

Without him saying anything more, Su Yunhai knew what their intention was.

It's nothing more than military service or being sent to the most difficult places to do hard labor.

Needless to say, the woman's fate is clear.

There were many people nearby listening to Su Yunhai's interrogation.

Village chief Li’s sons, the Shen family, and the villagers who couldn’t sleep and wanted to know the answer were all gathered nearby.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

They never imagined that these officers and soldiers were actually provoked by the Wang family!

It's obvious.

The Wang family wants to kill hundreds of them!

"Wang Kuidang is truly evil!" Shen Yuehua's elder brother Shen Yuehui was the first to lose his temper and started cursing.

"If we had known they were so shameless, we shouldn't have informed them!"

"Yes, this Wang Kui is really too much! He actually retaliated against us in this way!"

"If I meet them, I will kill them all to vent my anger!"

Suddenly, several discordant voices were heard.

"If your Su family hadn't provoked the Wang family, the Wang family wouldn't have harmed us. In the final analysis, it was your Su family that caused the trouble!"

"That's right. We are so innocent. You beat up the Wang family in front of so many people. They will definitely retaliate against you!"

“Woo woo woo, we were almost killed by your Su family, you must compensate us!”

Everyone looked towards these people.

Su Yunhai glanced at those people with cold eyes.

These people were the survivors of the houses at the entrance of Taohua Village when the bandits broke into the village.

When these people distributed the spoils in the village, they were not given any share, so perhaps they held a grudge against them at that time.

If most of the villagers had not fled the famine, they would not have dared to stay in the village, and probably would not have fled with others.

this time.

Once again, they faced death up close and were frightened.

He stood up without hesitation and linked himself to the Su family.

If the Su family had not offended the Wang family, why would the Wang family retaliate against them as well?

Who knows how the Wang family will retaliate against them in the future?

They don't want to face the threat of death again!

The speaker has intention, and the listener has attention.

Some villagers who heard the divisive words of these families thought they had a point.

These officers and soldiers were indeed provoked by the Su family.

They were also worried that if the Wang family’s first plan failed, they would come up with another one.

What if they are unlucky one day and end up dying without a burial place?

Who should they go to for justice?

These people have been so overcome by the fear of death that they are unable to think normally.

At this moment, I just want to stay away from the source of danger.

Su Yunhai glanced coldly at the people who were causing trouble and ruthlessly exposed their little thoughts.

"Oh, do you think you can sow discord like this?"

"If I hadn't notified the villagers in time and taken the lead in solving all the horse bandits, your families would still be able to keep you alive. Maybe the whole village would have been slaughtered by the horse bandits. Do you still have the opportunity to make trouble here?"

"As for me offending the Wang family? It was clearly the Wang family who provoked us first and intended to humiliate our Taohua Village, so I retaliated."

"Do you think that my Su family is a soft persimmon that you can manipulate at will? Don't think I don't know that you just want to find a reason to rob us because you see how much supplies my Su family has brought!"

"If you really think that following my Su family will endanger your life, then you can choose to leave. If that doesn't work, our Su family can also go on the road alone without going with the village!"

When Li Rui saw that the villagers had a disagreement, he quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Dahai, don't be angry. We all know what they are thinking. People with brains will definitely not listen to their nonsense."

"Your Su family has saved our entire village time and again. We can't thank you enough. We are all people who can distinguish right from wrong. We will never be ungrateful and disappoint you."

"There is still a long way to go to escape the famine. We still need to support each other to go further. Don't take these people's words to heart."

Most villagers felt that this matter had nothing to do with the Su family.

He also immediately stood up and expressed his position.

"Su Xiucai, let's not bother with these brainless people. They are really taking advantage of us. We should stay away from them in the future."

"Yes, we have to be careful of these people. They are so good at framing others, and we don't know when they will do something to us from behind."

"I think we should kick these families out right away. It's already this late and they're still stirring up trouble here. They really can't understand the situation."

"Yes, drive them out and everything will be peaceful!"
