Upon hearing this, Liu Dashui's expression changed instantly, and he subconsciously tucked his hands into his sleeves!

People aren't stupid; how could they not see such an obvious reaction!

"Liu Dashui, you have resin stuck to your hands? Don't you never cut down living trees? Where did this resin come from? Show us what kind of resin it is!"

Someone tried to pull Liu Dashui's arm to look at his body, but Liu Dashui refused, clenching his fists tightly and hiding them in his sleeves to avoid the outstretched hand!

While dodging, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Village chief, aren't you going to do anything about them? You're bullying them by outnumbering them!"

The village chief also wanted to pull it open to take a look, but not wanting to gain a bad reputation, he stopped the villagers who were going to pull Liu Dashui away.

“We won’t pull you or touch you. Just stand up and prove your innocence yourself! Everyone, step back a few steps. We won’t bully or bully you. Let Liu Dashui do it himself and see how he proves himself!”

At the village chief's shout, everyone consciously took a few steps back and looked at Liu Dashui with great interest, their eyes filled with the excitement of watching a show!

Hmph! Pretentious!

Don't think they're all fools. If there wasn't something fishy going on, why would they hide it so tightly?

Such a strong reaction must mean they're feeling guilty!

Otherwise, why not just openly extend your hand and let everyone see what's going on!

Just wait and see this person's sophistry backfire!

Liu Dashui was stunned. His shout was just to buy time so he could find a chance to escape!

Now everyone's not arresting him, but they're all keeping a close eye on him. How can he take advantage of the chaos?

Liu Dashui dared not stick his hand out, for doing so would expose him!

After a long standoff, he still showed no intention of proving his innocence, and just rambled on about irrelevant things.

Not to mention Gao Yuling, Su Nanxi was annoyed too. Why was she acting like a gossip, spouting so much nonsense, not a single word of which was useful? She was clearly guilty and deliberately making up irrelevant things to cover herself up!

Mo Qinghe leaned closer and whispered, "Wife, should we help him?"

As he spoke, he showed a small pebble in his hand, clearly indicating that he was using the pebble to help!

Su Nanxi smiled happily, "Sure!"

Liu Dashui isn't that kind of person; he's not going to drag a bunch of people along to waste time with him. Dream on!

Wouldn't it be better to go back and get some rest?

Liu Dashui wanted to put up a last-ditch resistance, but for some reason, he suddenly knelt down in front of everyone!

He swears he really didn't know it would turn out like this!

He knelt down, still looking completely bewildered!

Could it be that he did too many bad things and was punished by some deity who was secretly watching him and, seeing how stubborn he was, was so angry that he punished him?

It has to be said that Liu Dashui is a very clever person; he's almost imagined a whole mythological drama!

No one expected Liu Dashui to suddenly act out, and they were all shocked. He knelt down without warning. What was he trying to do?

He confessed to his crimes and wanted to beg for everyone's forgiveness.

Hmph! Kneeling won't help!

If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!

If everyone did this, the village would be in complete chaos!

How can you do whatever you want? Don't you have any sense of law and rules?

They must be severely punished, no question about it!

Sigh! The audience's ability to fill in the blanks is truly top-notch!

Liu Dashui was not admitting his mistake or asking for forgiveness. After realizing what had happened, he clapped his hands and remembered.

When he knelt down, he supported himself with his hands on the ground. The ground was not clean and flat, and as a result, Liu Dashui's hands got covered in something. Because he suddenly exerted too much force, some small stones even dented into his hands.

The eyes of the masses are discerning. Just as Liu Dashui raised his hand to clap, someone with sharp eyes saw Liu Dashui's palm.

"Look! Liu Dashui's palms are all black! They really have been stuck with something!"

With a thunderous roar, everyone turned to look at Liu Dashui's palm, which was nearly pierced with a hole!

Liu Dashui wanted to keep it, but it was too late. The village chief, now disguised as a young man, ran up to Liu Dashui and grabbed his hand to look at it.

Sigh! The village chief is so close, just two steps away, as fast as a gust of wind!

The village chief was no longer old and his eyesight was fine. He could see very clearly that Liu Dashui's hands were indeed stuck with something like resin, and there was a lot of it stuck on them. It was black and a bit sticky!

In a flash, the village chief finally understood why the mute woman had asked everyone to pay attention to Liu Dashui's hands to see if there was really resin stuck to them!

You bastard!

The sap on my hands is clearly from when I was picking sweet potato vines!

He also grows sweet potato vines at home. He had tried getting those white sap sap on his hands before. It was sticky and hard to wash off. Afterwards, his hands would turn black and look really ugly!

"Liu Dashui, what else do you have to say!" The village chief was so angry that his beard bristled. "These hands are so black, it's obvious you've picked a lot of sweet potato vines! You still try to deny it! You never do any work, you just occasionally gather firewood, and your hands are always clean! How come they're so black now? It's clearly from picking sweet potato vines! You can deny it if you want, we'll tie you up and take you to see the officials!"

Liu Dashui tried to argue that he had gotten the food while digging for vegetables and pulling weeds in the mountains, but when he heard that he was going to see the officials, he immediately chickened out and spilled everything!

What could he do?

He didn't want to see the officials. Were those places even places for a commoner like him? If he went in, would he ever get out? Would he get out without being beaten half to death?

He had heard that stealing was severely punished, with both beatings and fines!

He doesn't want to go!

The officials in the government are not to be trifled with; how could he possibly keep it a secret?

You should admit your mistake!

At least the penalty wasn't too severe!

Everyone was furious when they heard this, and they were absolutely right!

Liu Dashui really took advantage of the dark and windy night to pluck people's sweet potato leaves and pull out their sweet potato vines!

That's not all. What's most infuriating is that Liu Dashui actually colluded with people from other villages to do it!

I'm so angry!

"Ouch! You're being unreasonable! I've already told you, and you're still hitting me! Ah! Go easy! It hurts so much!"

Liu Dashui was chased and beaten by angry villagers. He ran around in a panic, covering his head and shouting as he ran.

"I only intended to teach the Mo family a lesson; I never planned to take advantage of anyone else! Ah! Why is the beating getting stronger and stronger!"

"Aww! I really didn't mean to ruin other people's land! You have to believe me! It was those two bastards who encouraged me to do it, saying there was money to be made and that the plants would just grow back anyway, as long as I didn't pull them all out!"

"Ouch! It hurts! It wasn't just me who did it, why are you only hitting me? I only led some people to the field and weeded a small patch of land! I didn't dare to weed more, really!"

Everyone: Just a piece of land? The land has been almost uprooted!

Su Nanxi pulled Gao Yuling back, "Don't go and join the fun! It'll be a loss if you get accidentally hit!"

Didn't you see those people randomly hitting people?

"Aww! You can't just hit me! Cao Sanniang got involved too!"
