Li Zheng looked at the speaker with cold eyes.

His young man was about to step forward.

The speaker took a step back, fear on his face.

Li Zheng waved his hand: "What are you doing? Back off!"

Immediately, another smile appeared on his face: "If you want to make an explanation, okay, go back first. When I find out about this matter and see who is behind it, I will naturally give you an explanation. Let's all be over!"

Yan Ruyu feels that the villagers are more afraid of Li Zheng than they are of the village chief.

Back at Zisu's house, Mrs. Zhou saw Zisu lowering his head and saying nothing, and sighed: "Brothers and sisters, it's better to look away. Even if we know about the village chief and Li Zheng, what can we do?"

Zisu murmured: "Could it be that my husband's death was in vain?"

"We are all women, what can we do?"

Zi Su stood up abruptly, her voice suddenly sharp: "Did your husband die in vain?"

Mrs. Zhou choked and was silent for a long time: "I'll boil some water."

Yan Ruyu patted Zi Su on the shoulder, and Zi Su slowly sat down again, her eyes red.

"Sister-in-law, she accepted her fate, and everyone else accepted their fate. I don't want to admit it! Even if Erlang dies, I will seek justice for him. I can't let his death be in vain!"

Yan Ruyu whispered: "This matter is complicated. Please don't go to the Yamen to make trouble again, and protect yourself and your children. We will find out."

Li Jingyao said: "Yes, this matter is very involved. It is useless for you to go to the Yamen several times. If they get tired of you, they might bring up other things."

Huo Changhe glanced outside: "We have to leave. When we just came back, the people around Li Zheng were quietly sizing us up."

Several of them were strangers, and they were all good-looking and extremely eye-catching.

It could be said that he had to stay overnight last night. If he didn't leave during the day, he would arouse suspicion.

Zi Su was stoic and listened: "Master of the village, girl, thank you for your kindness, I will take good care of you. Take care of yourself too."

After bidding farewell to Zi Su and Mrs. Zhou, I walked out of the alley and saw a few people patrolling the street. There were two Yan Ruyu who looked familiar. They were the young men behind Li Zheng.

They are patrolling now just because they don't want the villagers to gather together to discuss what happened just now.

Seeing the three of them, two immediately came closer.

"What do you do?" The tone was quite impolite.

Just as Li Jingyao was about to speak, Huo Changhe shouted: "Shut up!"

Li Jingyao was stunned for a moment and then closed his mouth.

The two people across from each other looked at each other, what do you mean? Why did they start a quarrel on their own?

Yan Ruyu whispered: "Brother Jing, please leave first."

Li Jingyao snorted, gritted his teeth and left.

Yan Ruyu added: "The three of us were passing by here, and the boat broke down. There was a market here, so we came to have a look. Later, we heard that there was a taboo in the village last night and we were not allowed to go out, so we had no choice but to stay overnight."

Huo Changhe frowned and said, "Okay, sister, go back to the boat and don't say any more."

Yan Ruyu said solemnly: "Brother, do I no longer have the right to talk to others? You won't let me be with Brother Jing, and now you have to control what I say, it's too much!"

Yan Ruyu flicked her sleeves and left.

Huo Changhe's face became even more ugly, and he stared at the two people opposite him coldly.

The two people felt a little guilty and fearful for no reason, so they cleared their throats and took two steps back.

Huo Changhe turned around and left.

Back on the boat, Huo Changhe said: "Don't look back, someone is following us into the grass."

Yan Ruyu nodded, and Li Jingyao gave an order to move the boat and leave the water.

As soon as they left, someone immediately reported Li Zheng.

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Were they the three outsiders in the village yesterday?"

"The married daughter of the Liu family has come back to visit her relatives and has not left. In addition, the cousin of the Zhao family is here."

Li Zheng thought for a moment: "Keep an eye on them, I'll go to the village chief's house to have a look."

It took the village chief's wife a long time to wake up after arriving home. Yan Ruyu didn't give her the antidote, so she couldn't wake up until the medicine had worn off.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her husband and son cleaning up the house. She also felt uncomfortable and tight, and her arms and legs were in terrible pain.

"Master, where is the money? What happened to the money from last night?"

The biggest concern is money.

The village chief had changed his clothes, but the red pattern on his body could not be washed away. For some reason, he couldn't wash it off after a long time of effort, so he had to give up.

He was extremely irritable, and became even more irritated when his wife opened her mouth to ask for money.

"Money, money! I just know money!" he yelled angrily, "Why don't you ask me? I almost died."

"Aren't you a good person? Why are you so cruel? If the money is gone, what's the use of taking your life!"

"You!" the village chief said angrily, "The money is gone, you go to hell!"

The village chief's wife immediately jumped up when she heard this: "What? The money is gone? This..."

The village chief's son said angrily: "I think someone is pretending to be a ghost and defrauding our family of money. You are really fooled and gave away the money for nothing."

The village chief gritted his teeth and said: "Is it true or false? Can't I tell? You two slept soundly and didn't even get up to look. I was the one who was frightened!"

"I earned the money, and I'm happy to give it away for free. If you're not happy, just keep your face down. Who can I show your shame to?"

The village chief's wife threw a pillow at him: "Why are you so angry at your son? You are a worthless man, but you still have the nerve to say this when you earn so little money!"

"Then what's wrong with you? Do you want me to fight the Water God?"

"Dad, I don't think he is a water god at all. Maybe someone is just pretending to be someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded in the courtyard: "That's right."

The village chief was agitated, glanced at his son and daughter-in-law with warning eyes, and hurriedly welcomed them out.

"Lixia, why are you here?"

Li Zheng took a look: "You have such a big accident, I should come and take a look. Is your injury okay?"

"No, it's okay," the village chief laughed dryly, "Sit inside?"

Li Zheng was walking in. When he saw that the ground was still wet, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The village chief immediately told them what happened last night. Of course, he did not say the words he had confessed to. He only said that the water god came to remind them to do good deeds and not to do evil.

As he spoke, he observed Li Zheng's expression.

Li Zheng really didn't expect it to be like this. He also thought it was just someone pretending to be weird, making strange noises, pretending to be a ghost, or something like that.

Now listening to the village chief say this, it seems that it is really not something ordinary people can do.

"Li Zheng, what should we do? I think something is unusual."

Li Zheng came to his senses and hummed: "What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid."

The village chief muttered to himself: That's because you were not the one who was frightened and hanged. Of course you are not afraid.

Li Zheng looked at the water on the ground, then at the soaked quilt, and said in deep thought: "I will ask the Taoist about this matter. Whether it is a ghost or a god, the Taoist has a solution."

His eyes deepened slightly and his tone was cold: "You didn't say anything you shouldn't have said, right?"
