Although Patriarch Gu had already thought of how to deal with Widow Liu, who was a traitor, the most important thing at the moment was to deal with the dead man first.
He frowned and said coldly:
"Since you guys have beaten him to death, quickly wrap him up in a torn straw mat and bury him in the back hills!"
The village head frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
When everyone saw this, they realized there was nothing they didn't understand. They knew they were not going to pursue the matter of them beating someone to death.
Gu Yuan immediately shouted at the villagers who had just beaten him, "What are you still standing there for? Go back and get your hoes to dig a hole. If anyone has a broken mat, bring one. Once we're done, I'll buy you a drink!"
"Great!" The villagers who were originally upset because they accidentally killed someone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of excitement in their voices.
Everyone knew that they had done something wrong, so they didn't need the two clan leaders or the head of the village to say anything, and they prepared to go home and get their weapons.
Men dug the soil with hoes, women carried broken mats, and as for the coffin, didn't the patriarch mention it? No one else would mention it.
Don't say they have no conscience. She is a kidnapper. It would be good enough if they could let her rest in peace after her death.
As for the half-dead Widow Liu in the room, everyone forgot about it.
Patriarch Shen was not in a hurry to seek justice for his clansmen. He knew that Patriarch Gu and Li Zheng would never let Widow Liu go no matter what.
The village head saw that most of the villagers had left and had no intention of going into the house to take a look. He just looked at Patriarch Gu and said:
"This matter was caused by someone from your Gu family. You can handle the victims. As for Widow Liu, her crime is not punishable by death, but I don't want to see her in the village. I heard that her son is in the town. You can handle it..."
After the head of the village finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Everyone looked at Patriarch Gu when they heard this.
All those who helped Gu Yuan and the others to beat people up were relatives of their three families, or had good relations with them. Even if they wanted to ask Widow Liu to get out of Taohua Village, they didn't have the confidence to say it now.
These people didn't have the confidence to speak, but those who heard the news and came to watch the fun had the confidence to speak. Many of these people had grudges against Widow Liu!
Widow Liu usually had private dealings with many men in the village, and therefore offended many women in the village.
The men in these women's families have been bewitched by Widow Liu and have long hated her. Now that there is a chance to drive her out of the village, everyone is eager to applaud.
Sure enough, someone in the crowd watching the excitement spoke up.
"Chief, we can't just let that widow Liu go. Because of this bad apple in our tribe, even if we have a scholar in our tribe, we still can't stand up straight in the village." said a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
The woman's surname was Ma. Widow Liu had had an affair with her man for a while in the past. She hated Widow Liu so much that her teeth were itching. In addition, she was always close to Liu, and she had often heard Liu gritting her teeth and cursing Widow Liu in front of her, calling her a slut who had ruined the reputation of her son Gu Zhaoming.
If she jumped out now, she could not only vent her anger, but also please the scholar's mother, killing two birds with one stone.
Ma's words also reminded everyone, and the villagers began to criticize Widow Liu.
"Yes, Widow Liu cannot stay in the village. What if she teams up with the kidnappers to kidnap children in the village again? People like this must not stay in the village!"
"Get out! Get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
The villagers started talking at once, and the village became extremely noisy for a while.
Gu Jia, although Shen Yuan heard a little about what happened in the village, she was now at the critical moment of the experiment and had no intention of going out to watch the fun.
After all, watching the fun is not as important as making money!
Although Liu knew a little about what was going on outside, she was too proud of her status as a scholar's wife to go out and watch the fun with a bunch of peasants.
Gu Zhaoming frowned when he heard the noise outside, but in the end he said nothing and just focused on reading.
On this side, seeing that everyone had almost finished talking, Patriarch Gu waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand, you can all go away!"
Some villagers, who were feeling guilty about having killed someone, dispersed immediately after hearing what the patriarch said.
"Clan leader Shen, what do you think of the punishment imposed by the village head?" Clan leader Gu turned his head to look at Clan leader Shen who was standing next to him and hadn't said much.
Patriarch Shen looked at Patriarch Gu. He didn't care how Patriarch Gu punished his clan members, but his clan members were almost killed, so Patriarch Shen wanted to compensate them. "Old man Gu, I don't care about Liu's fate, but Liu harmed the children of my Shen clan. How do you plan to compensate Liu?"
"Well...don't worry, I know what I'm doing..." Patriarch Gu assured.
While the two were talking, the villagers soon came with some broken mats and a few strong men carrying hoes.
After all this coming and going, those who had left originally came back to watch the fun.
A few brave men came into the house carrying tattered mats and went to the backyard to collect the bodies.
Shen Rong had been watching the excitement nearby for a while, and now she couldn't help but want to go in and take a look.
As soon as Shen Rong followed, Changsheng also wanted to go in.
Shen Rong was afraid that the situation inside would scare Changsheng, so she raised her hand to touch her ear and said anxiously, "Changsheng, my earring has fallen off. Can you help me look for it at the gate? I'll look for it here."
As soon as Shen Rong said that, Changsheng believed it immediately.
"Oh!" As soon as he agreed, he bent down and looked towards his home.
Shen Rong looked at Changsheng, who was looking for something on the ground with his back to her, and walked into Widow Liu's house.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Widow Liu curled up in the corner.
Widow Liu closed her eyes and seemed to have fainted. Her body was motionless and her face was swollen. If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, Shen Rong would have thought she was dead.
Shen Rong took a look and prepared to go to the backyard. As soon as she turned around, she saw a roll of straw mat being carried out by several strong men.
Shen Rong looked carefully and saw that the person was wrapped in a straw mat. Perhaps the person was too fat, and the thin mat seemed to be about to break at any moment. However, there was someone supporting the middle, and a few strands of hair were exposed at the rolled edge.
Shen Rong followed the people carrying the corpse out the door.
When the villagers saw the bodies being carried out, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"This man is dead, and I don't know what happened to Widow Liu..." a man who had an affair with Widow Liu murmured.
That man was none other than Shen Erzhu.
Shen Erzhu's leg had healed already, and when he saw there was something exciting to watch, he ran over without thinking.
Seeing this, Zhang also stood behind him. She happened to hear Shen Erzhu's words and said sarcastically without thinking, "She is your mother and your ancestor. It's a good thing for her to die like a slut! How dare you care about her?"
"You stinky bitch! How can you be so vicious!" Shen Erzhu felt humiliated by being said like that by his wife in public, and couldn't help but scold her.
Can Zhang spoil him?
