"Humph, these people are full of evil intentions. Even if they die, it's excusable. It's all their own fault!"
San Yazi snorted coldly.
"Oh, my poor daughter-in-law, who the hell killed you? I will make them pay with blood!"
An old woman suddenly rushed over and cried miserably to an unconscious woman on the ox cart, instantly gaining the sympathy of other villagers.
"Stop howling here. Feel your wife's body and see if it's still warm. She's not dead at all!"
Sanyazi was a little annoyed by her crying.
"My wife was fine half an incense stick ago, but now she's dead. Of course her body won't be cold!"
"Yes, don't let these people leave! Zhuzi, go report to the police immediately. We can't let them leave even if we die!"
A slightly older man was talking to the younger generation beside him.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go right away!"
After hearing this, Zhuzi ran away in a hurry.
When Sanyazi and others saw this, they did not chase after him. Someone actually brought people from the county government office to them, so they didn't have to make the trip.
"Quickly surround these people. Every single one of them is a murderer. They've taken so many lives. It wouldn't be too much to cut them into pieces!"
Someone called out, and then the villagers rushed forward and surrounded Sanyazi and the ox cart.
"Brothers, since someone has called the officials here for us, let's rest here for a while. We have been busy building the house these days and are really exhausted."
After Sanyazi finished speaking, he took the initiative to sit under the ox cart, leaning his back against it with a comfortable look on his face.
The other soldiers followed suit and sat aside, closing their eyes to rest.
"Fellow villagers, they are all Gu Hong's subordinates. Do you think this matter is related to Gu Hong? Let's go and ask him for an explanation!"
The old woman looked at Sanyazi with resentment.
"This... We don't dare to mess with that killer! Go by yourself if you want to!"
The villagers watching shook their heads, and some of the timid ones even took a step or two back.
"Bah, you bunch of cowards!" The old woman snorted at everyone, then turned around and wanted to insult Sanyazi and others.
But when she turned around and saw Sanyazi and the others sitting there quietly, the powerful aura emanating from them made her a little timid!
"Bah! When the county magistrate's men arrive, I'll see how long you can keep up your high arrogance!"
More than an hour later, hurried footsteps were heard not far away.
"Who killed someone?"
Fan Xing walked over with a serious face.
"Is it you?"
Then he saw Sanyazi and others sitting under the ox cart with their eyes closed.
When Sanyazi heard Fan Xing's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is it you? Why are you still here?" After saying that, he suddenly stood up.
Fan Xing subconsciously took two steps back.
"Ahem... I'm already the prefect here! Of course I'm here!"
In front of so many people, he was still a little afraid of San Yazi, but because of his status, he still mustered up the courage to come over.
Anyway, that Gu Shacai is not here.
"Prefect?"
Sanyazi had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face.
"So you're the new prefect! I thought you'd returned to the capital to report!"
"Hahahaha... I'm doing this all for His Majesty. Your Majesty, I'll go wherever you tell me to go!"
Fan Xing laughed it off.
When the villagers of Wanning Village saw this scene, they guessed that the two people knew each other.
"Prefect, there's been a loss of life in our village, and not just one or two!"
The old woman came up hurriedly.
"Human life?"
Fan Xing pointed at the person who had fainted on the ox cart.
"Yes, sir, those people killed so many people in our village. You must seek justice for us!"
"I say again, they are not dead!" Sanyazi glared at the old woman.
"Your Excellency, did you see that? He's trying to silence the witness!"
The old woman was frightened by Sanyazi's eyes.
"They are indeed not dead."
Fan Xing can still tell the difference between the living and the dead!
"Impossible! If they were really alive, how could they lie there motionless? And they put so many villagers on the ox cart, clearly intending to destroy the bodies!"
"Coroner, go and check and tell them whether these people are dead or not." Fan Xing didn't want to argue with these people, so he asked the coroner to go over directly.
"Yes, sir!"
When Zhuzi went to report the case, he said that someone had died, so when Fan Xing came, he brought the coroner with him.
The coroner walked over, felt the pulse of these people's necks, and then quickly withdrew his hand.
"Sir, these people are indeed not dead, they are just unconscious at the moment!"
The villagers also knew that today was a misunderstanding.
"Even so, he has no right to harm the villagers of Wanning Village! Mr. Prefect, you must stand up for us common people!"
After the old woman finished speaking, she knelt in front of Fan Xing and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, almost all of her tears and snot were stuck to it.
Fan Xing immediately showed an expression of disgust on his face, because the official uniform he was wearing was newly made!
"How dare you! You're such a troublemaker! It's fine if you just made a random report, but now you're even making trouble in front of the adults! I'll throw you in jail soon and ask you to reflect on your mistakes!"
A constable came out and looked at the old lady viciously.
"I...I...I just want justice for my family. Are you guys protecting each other?"
The old woman now realized that she was in the wrong, but it was a fact that those people were unconscious.
"Sir, you've arrived just in time! These people are so audacious! They actually asked the general to abandon his wife and demote her to a concubine. Aren't they just trying to accuse us of being disloyal and unrighteous? So, the general ordered me to send them to the yamen! But these people actually tried to escape, so I knocked them out!"
After Sanyazi finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence.
I didn’t expect these people were knocked unconscious because of this incident.
"Fellow villagers, every family should have a daughter. If your daughter suffered all kinds of hardships like my wife and gave birth to several children for her husband, and then her husband became successful, and someone wanted to demote her to a concubine because of your daughter's birth, how could you agree to that?"
Sanyazi is not a stupid person, and he knows how to take advantage of everyone's psychology at this time.
"Of course we can't agree to this! These people are so shameless! They are simply smearing the people of Wanning Village!"
The village head walked out from the outermost part of the crowd angrily.
