What does it mean to kill Hou San in Chapter 56?
Tong Liqun rushed over, his face full of anger as he glared at Xie Manman's swollen face. He roared, "Xie Manman, Gu Zhiqing and the others have been lenient enough with you. Don't be ungrateful!"
After hearing Tong Liqun's words, Wu Yong'an and the other two looked at Xie Manman with suspicion.
Along the way, they sensed Xie Manman's unpopularity in Bakushu Village from the villagers' disgusted expressions.
Hearing Tong Liqun's words now has opened their eyes even wider.
Chen Liguo and Qiao Jinfeng, in particular, had a lot of dealings with Tong Liqun, the old Party Secretary.
Xie Manman is quite capable to have angered such a good-tempered old Party Secretary who was wholeheartedly devoted to the villagers to this extent.
"Secretary Tong, we came here for a routine investigation because we heard from Comrade Xie Manman that Comrade Su Xiangwan is suspected of murder."
Chen Liguo spoke first, explaining his purpose.
"kill?"
Tong Liqun's face turned pale, and he almost dropped his old opium pipe: "What's going on?"
"Comrade Xie Manman said that Comrade Su Xiangwan killed Hou San?"
Wu Yong'an made no attempt to cover for anyone and directly recounted Xie Manman's report in detail.
"Hou San is dead?" Tong Liqun was instantly dumbfounded.
"What did you say? My son is dead?"
Liu Pandi, who had come over to join in the fun, suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the side.
Hou Chengbiao, who was standing next to her, suddenly changed his expression and roared as he lunged at Su Xiangwan: "You dare to kill my third son? I'll kill you right now and make you pay with your life!"
"Don't move! Hey, don't lay a hand on me!" Chen Liguo hadn't expected that Hou San's family members were among those who had come with him.
By the time he realized what was happening and tried to stop Hou Chengbiao, it was too late.
Hou Chengbiao had been slaughtering pigs for thirty years. He was full of malice, had a strong build, and was surprisingly agile.
With just a roar, he had already rushed to within a few steps of Su Xiangwan.
Seeing this, Su Xiangwan stepped aside, picked up the hoe behind the door, and prepared to fight back.
"Don't lay a hand on me!"
Just then, Wu Yong'an reached out, grabbed Hou Chengbiao by the collar, and kicked him, causing him to fall to his knees.
With another twist, Hou Chengbiao was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"Let me go, I'm going to kill this bitch!" Hou Chengbiao struggled to resist.
"Who are you going to kill?" Just then, a cold voice came.
Although the voice wasn't loud or shouting, it still carried a chilling pressure that reached everyone's ears.
Gu Yanxiao looked at Hou Chengbiao, who had been pinned to the ground by Wu Yong'an, and withdrew her hand.
“She dared to kill my son, she should pay with her life.”
Hou Chengbiao stared at Su Xiangwan with venomous eyes.
His son was killed, and his only heir was gone. How could he be satisfied if he didn't kill Su Xiangwan?
When Su Xiangwan saw Gu Yanxiao appear, she released the hoe from her mouth, sneered, and looked at Hou Chengbiao with a mocking gaze: "Xie Manman said your son was killed, and you believed it without even verifying it? Have you turned into a pig brain from killing so many pigs?"
"You..." Hou Chengbiao couldn't believe that Su Xiangwan actually dared to curse him.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' I mean, your son isn't dead, he's still alive, aren't you happy? I've seen people who hope their sons are doing well, but I've never seen anyone who hopes their sons are dead. Calling you a pig-brain is really an understatement for a pig!"
Su Xiangwan showed Hou Chengbiao no mercy whatsoever. What a joke! Someone suddenly rushed up to kill her out of nowhere.
I was really startled just now, you know?
In this day and age, there is no such thing as compensation for emotional distress. Can't she just vent her anger by yelling at him?
"What did you say? My third son isn't dead?"
Liu Pandi, who had fallen to the ground, scrambled to his feet and asked with delight.
"Of course he's not dead. Do you want him to die?" Su Xiangwan said irritably.
"San'er isn't dead? That's great!" Upon hearing this, Hou Chengbiao finally gave up resisting and let go of his strength.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Wu Yong'an finally let go.
Thinking of that familiar voice, she subconsciously looked behind her, and froze on the spot when she saw Gu Yanxiao: "Brother...Gu?"
The person who blurted out "Commander" subconsciously changed their address to "Brother Gu" upon seeing Gu Yanxiao's casual clothes.
In the chaos just now, he didn't hear Gu Yanxiao's voice clearly, he just felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Seeing the person who had appeared in his dreams countless times made him instinctively stand up straight, looking at him with awe. "Brother Gu, it really is you! What are you doing here?"
Could it be that the commander is sending out some kind of mission again?
Gu Yanxiao had already recognized this soldier who had once served under him. He walked a few steps to Su Xiangwan, shielded her behind him, and then said, "I came here to work as an educated youth in the countryside."
Regimental leader, a sent-down youth?
Wu Yong'an blinked. Could it be that the regimental commander was carrying out some kind of secret mission again?
Fortunately, he didn't reveal his identity as the regimental commander.
"Su Qingqing, you just said that San'er is not dead. Is that true?" Liu Pandi took a few quick steps and came to Su Xiangwan, calling out to her through Gu Yanxiao.
"Whether Hou San is dead or not, these police officers are the ones who know best," Gu Yanxiao said, frowning.
"What do you mean?" Hou Chengbiao asked, somewhat confused.
Xie Manman screamed, "You're lying! What do you mean by asking the police? You know the police and Gu Zhiqing, they'll definitely help you!"
Xie Manman was on the verge of a breakdown.
How come the police officer she found in town was also an acquaintance of Gu Yanxiao?
In that case, wouldn't the situation be very unfavorable for her?
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jinfeng's face darkened, and she said unhappily, "Comrade Xie, watch your words. We are the People's Police, and we abide by the law. We will never bend the law for any reason. If you continue to talk nonsense, we will arrest you on charges of defaming the police!"
Hou Chengbiao looked at the group with some suspicion and asked, "Where is my third son?"
Wu Yong'an looked at Gu Yanxiao with some puzzlement. Why did his commander say that?
Just then, Chen Liguo recognized Gu Yanxiao and pointed at him, saying, "You...you're the comrade who brought that bloodied man here yesterday?"
It's no wonder he didn't recognize him; Gu Yanxiao had a fierce battle with the wild boar yesterday, and when he carried Hou San down the mountain, his body and face were covered in the blood of the wild boar and Hou San.
Plus, I've changed my clothes now, so my look is completely different from yesterday.
Gu Yanxiao nodded, then said something that shocked everyone: "I handed Hou San over to you yesterday, and today you come looking for my wife, saying that she killed Hou San. What do you mean by that?"
