Han An simply stared coldly at Cao Jinfang's corpse, his face expressionless, and said indifferently, "Throw it out."
It's hard to believe that this is Cao Jinfang's proudest grandson, who is now so cold-blooded that it's frightening.
The villagers somewhat regretted supporting him in becoming the village head.
“These are special times, and these bodies must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise they could cause even bigger trouble. So I’m putting the greater good before my own family, and I hope everyone will refrain from making wild guesses.”
“You unfilial descendants! She was still your grandmother, yet you treated her funeral so carelessly. It’s truly heartbreaking.”
Liu Xiuying couldn't stand Han An's behavior any longer and couldn't help but rebuke him.
Cao Jinfang was a strong-willed man throughout his life, and no one could have imagined that he would die so hastily, without even a straw mat to wrap his body. It was truly heartbreaking.
"Hmph, you have no right to speak here. This is our family matter, you'd better leave it alone."
Now that the old woman is dead, no one dares to bully her anymore, and she can finally hold her head high in this family.
After a period of liveliness inside the ancestral hall, it finally quieted down. Outside, Cui Yulu was still tied to the pillar, and the cold night wind pierced through her clothes and went straight to her bones.
If it weren't for the spiritual spring water we usually drink, we would probably have frozen to death by now, and we wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Fu Xiaoyu became increasingly uneasy, and the lack of news from Linshui Village, which prevented rescue efforts from proceeding, only added to his frustration.
At this moment, County Magistrate Li Rushui was kneeling on the ground, his body trembling like a leaf. He had never seen Fu Xiaoyu so angry.
"Well, Your Highness, listen to me. I've been busy with disaster relief these past few days, but unfortunately, Linshui Village is completely blocked by snow. But don't worry, I've sent people to dig day and night, and we should be able to clear it soon."
Li Rushui looked at Fu Xiaoyu with trepidation, fearing that he would give the order and she would lose her head.
"You said it yourself. I must see the road to Linshui Village by tomorrow, or your head will be hanging on the city wall."
After saying that, Li Rushui flung his sleeves and hurriedly left the room, running towards the main road without delay. If they couldn't dig through it, he would really lose his head. He wondered if Fu Xiaoyu's second aunt or maternal aunt was in Linshui Village, that a war god prince would care so much about such a small village.
Of course, Li Rushui only dared to mutter these thoughts to himself and didn't dare to say them out loud. He wanted his brain to grow a few more years, otherwise all his little darlings would probably have to remarry without him.
Just after Li Rushui ran out, Lin Yun received another message by carrier pigeon. After reading the contents of the letter, Fu Xiaoyu's expression became even more solemn.
His bad premonition grew stronger, so he led his guards down the back road that very night, knowing that the official road was out of the question.
The letter mentioned that an avalanche had occurred on the main road, and the newly dug section of the road was blocked by snow again.
So Fu Xiaoyu led his guards to clear the snow overnight. Just as the sun rose, they suddenly discovered that the people opposite them were a pack of wolves.
The leader was an injured white wolf, the same wolf that Tuoba Xuan had seen before.
It turns out he was also silently protecting Cui Yulu.
The wolves saw that Fu Xiaoyu didn't attack them, but instead shook their heads at him, signaling him to hurry to Linshui Village. Lin Yun liked to keep pets, and he had a particularly fierce big yellow dog by his side, so when he saw the white wolf king's injured hind leg, he quickly took out medicine to bandage its wound.
The White Wolf King did not refuse, but kept its silver-gray eyes fixed on him. After letting out a howl, it quickly disappeared in the direction of Linshui Village.
Fu Xiaoyu's unease grew stronger, and without wasting a moment, he hurried towards Linshui Village.
As the sun rises, its rays illuminate the land of Linshui Village. The former tranquility and peace are gone. No matter how bright the sun shines, it cannot dispel the gloom in people's hearts.
People led by Lin Xiucai who support Cui Yulu are grappling with the villagers.
"Han An, I swear on my integrity that this rain and dew is not a witch. You've got it wrong. This is a natural disaster. Let's not make a mistake, okay?"
Lin Xiucai was usually a man of few words, and he had never been seen speaking up for anyone before. Today was the first time I had ever heard him shout loudly in public.
"Haha, it's already this late, the altar is already set up, what's the use of telling me all this? Today, Cui Yulu must offer sacrifices to the heavens, otherwise it will not be enough to appease the heavens' wrath."
"Yes, Ping Tian is furious, burn the demoness to death."
However, at this moment, Han An seemed to have thought of an even more fun game, so he untied the entire Han family.
"Han An, what exactly are you trying to do? Release Yu Lu right now. I was the one who did all those things. If you want to burn me, then burn me to death."
Han Yu'an's voice was hoarse, and his handsome thin lips were chapped and cracked. He had been in the cold all night, and his body was stiff.
"Hmph, Han Yu'an, didn't you expose me in public for taking your place and turning you into an idiot? That's right, it was me. But what can you do to me? You've already lost to me. Let me tell you, Cui Yulu must die today. You can't protect her at all."
"You bastard."
Deeply provoked by his words, Han Yu'an swung a fist and smashed it into his face, causing blood to seep from the corner of Han Yu'an's mouth.
"Haha, today, whoever pleads for that vixen Cui Yulu will have to take ten blows. If you can withstand it, I'll let her go."
When they saw the wooden stick used for execution, everyone fell silent.
The execution was carried out by Dunzi, the strongest man in the village, who was the most powerful man in the village. Dunzi was the strongest man in the village, and if you were punched by him, you would probably be bedridden for ten days or half a month. Therefore, no one in the village dared to mess with him.
