"Weren't these young masters supposed to be complaining about how the Northern Expeditionary Army treated them badly when they got home? Why are they here supporting the Li family?"
"Perhaps they covet the Li family's power and want to take this opportunity to curry favor!"
"Even so, there shouldn't be so many people coming!"
Similarly, Chen Chuan, who was tied to the side of the pit, became more and more desperate as he looked around.
He just wanted to vent his anger, to disgust the Li family, and to soothe his grief over the loss of his son and mother.
Whether the Li family is at fault or not is irrelevant.
He's just unhappy himself and can't stand seeing others happy!
Little did he expect that the Li family, whom he subconsciously thought was easy to manipulate, would turn out to be such a tough nut to crack!
He wanted to beg for mercy, but couldn't bring himself to speak. He could only desperately look towards the official road, hoping someone would come to the rescue of the Chen family.
Finally, another group of people arrived. When they got closer, it turned out to be Li Lao Er, Mr. Wen, and Guo Wenhao, who was dressed in hemp clothing, along with Guo's servants, all of whom were carrying sticks and machetes.
Upon seeing that many of the villagers were injured and that Doctor Zhang was treating them, Li Lao Er noticed that...
I breathed a long sigh of relief when I found that my mother, brother, and nieces were all safe and sound.
Looking at the three village heads, Old Master Liu, and the group of young young recruits, his expression darkened even further.
The Guo family was holding a funeral. They had just sent the coffin to the cemetery for burial and had just finished setting up the grave when they heard that something bad had happened in the family.
He rushed home frantically, his mind racing with thoughts, thankfully none of which were real.
He quickly bowed to Grandpa Liu and the others, then asked his younger brother.
"Fourth brother! What exactly happened?"
Li Laosi didn't mince words; he briefly explained the cause and effect, and Li Laoer and the others understood.
Li Lao Er glanced at the disheveled Chen Chuan and the terrified Chen family members, and said, "Suijin Beach is the princess's fiefdom. According to Tianwu law, although the fiefdom belongs to Tianwu, the princess, as the fiefdom lord, has the right to govern it."
"In other words, the princess has the right to handle everything that happens on the fiefdom."
"Now the Chen family is forcing us to surrender with a coffin, letting their servants commit violence, insulting the Li family, and offending the princess. Their crimes are truly heinous!"
"However, the princess understood the Chen family's grief over the loss of their son and was willing to fulfill the Chen family's wish by burying Chen He's coffin at Suijin Beach, with all members of the Chen family buried with him, so that the whole family could go to the Yellow Springs together. This was also a good thing."
"Although I feel bad about wasting such a good piece of land, the princess is kind-hearted, so let's do it this way."
Chen Chuan listened to the whole thing, his eyes wide as a bull, unable to believe it at all.
Li Lao Er was so eloquent that he made it sound as if the Chen family had begged the princess to allow him to bury the hundred or so members of the Chen family alive, and that the princess had only reluctantly agreed.
What did they become then? Were they rushing to their deaths?
"No, no..." He finally couldn't hold back any longer and started to shout.
Uncle Zhao plucked a clump of weeds and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering under his breath, "You cowardly dog! Where's your ability and arrogance from before? Now you know fear and regret, but it's too late!"
"Don't you feel sorry for your son? What's wrong with taking your son to see the King of Hell?"
"It would be best if you were reincarnated together, so you could spoil him for two lifetimes and become a truly good father!"
Chen Chuan shook his head desperately and cried out, but everyone pretended not to hear him.
At this point, the pit, which was two zhang long, one zhang wide, and six chi deep, was finally dug.
Jiayin went to the edge of the pit and took a look. She said to the village chief, "This pit is a bit small. It will be hard for the Chen family to make do."
"However, it's cold in winter, and we've done more than enough for them."
After saying that, she turned to look at the Chen family members, smiling innocently and happily, but her words were chilling.
"Bury them in there, line them up vertically, they'll be big enough even if you squeeze them in."
The village chief nodded and immediately called on the villagers for help.
The Chen family servant who was closest to the pit was the first to be thrown into it, followed by the second, the third...
The Chen family members were completely terrified and began to wail loudly.
"Help! Help!"
"I'll never do it again! Waaah, I still have a blind old mother to support, please have mercy!"
"Waaaaah, help! I don't want to be buried alive!"
"It's all our master's fault! He ordered us to come and cause trouble! It wasn't my choice! Spare me! Spare me!"
Unfortunately, no matter how much they shouted, they were all thrown into the deep pit one by one, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Li Laosi tucked in the front of his robe, jumped down into the pit, and propped up the Chen family servants and old soldiers against the pit wall like steamed buns.
In no time, the pit was half full.
The Chen family's cries were deafening, and the crowd watching from afar could hear them clearly, their legs going weak with fear.
"Are they really going to bury us alive?"
"Judging from this, it doesn't seem like he's just bluffing..."
"That's too ruthless!"
"That scared the hell out of me, I'm going to have nightmares tonight."
They were already like this just from listening to the noise.
The Chen family members in the pit had soiled their pants with excrement and urine, and cried until they fainted.
But neither the villagers nor Li Laosi stopped.
Standing by the pit, Li Lao Er also stood with his back straight, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Jiayin sat in the chair, smiling as she poured hot tea for Grandpa Liu, and even had the leisure to chat about everyday things.
"Grandpa Liu, are Brother Zhimin and Brother Xiujie going on winter vacation? I've planted a lot of southern fruits in the greenhouse. I'll invite them over to play and treat them to some fruit."
“Alright,” Old Master Liu coughed and replied, “The academy will definitely be on holiday before the Lunar New Year. We can let them come and play then.”
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "Princess, well... so many people have already been buried, shouldn't we reconsider?"
Jiayin smiled and said, "Grandpa Liu, they went through all that trouble to carry the coffin here just to be buried in Suijintan. I'm just helping them fulfill their wish, doing a good deed every day!"
Grandpa Liu was dazzled by the chubby girl's smiling face, but his heart skipped a beat.
He had speculated about which of the four brothers and seven sons in the Li family would one day carry on the family name and become the ruthless and clever alpha wolf.
It could be Boss Li, or it could be Li Jiaren, or even Brother Li.
But he never expected that the alpha wolf would be this gluttonous, playful, and pampered chubby girl!
In the midst of laughter and conversation, a hundred lives were thrown into a pit. In her eyes, there was no fear, no pity, only resolute determination.
This is something most men couldn't do, at least not him...
In just a short while, the pit was packed with people, a dense mass of dark heads, and amidst the wailing and the presence of a large black coffin, no one doubted that the Li family was just trying to scare them.
After finally waking up from his unconscious state, Master Chen was pushed into a pit. Once he understood what was happening, he fainted again.
Master Chen kept craning his neck to look into the distance, hoping someone would come to his rescue.
As he was kicked into the pit, he couldn't wait any longer and shouted.
"Help! I'm being buried alive! What are you waiting for? Come and save me! If you don't come out soon, I'm going to tell on you! Chen He wasn't killed by the Li family. Chen He liked to smoke!"
Unfortunately, no one responded to him, which drove him crazy.
