Chapter 589 You All Have a Share

e from the county town, Xiaoyue began to live a life of waking up earlier than the chicken and sleeping later than the dog.Iron Zhu silently turned his head away. He was still a young man who hadn't s...Both of them were seeing Zong's wife this angry for the first time. It seemed like this incident had truly angered her.

Many people in the village weren't unreasonable either. When the village head, Wang, came door to door with the employment contract back then, everyone knew that if it wasn't for Wang stepping up,

Mr. and Mrs. Zong only cared about their reputation, not their lives or deaths.

If they bought a mountain, they would certainly keep it tightly under wraps, not letting anyone near it.

Not to mention giving them money and food.

The mountaintop is so large that even if they didn't cultivate the land, they could survive the drought by simply living off the mountain. There was no need to force them to work with us.

Unfortunately, not many people in the village understand this.

When Zhao Yi and Zhao Er brought the people before Village Chief Wang and conveyed Fang Jinxiu's order to stop work tomorrow, Village Chief Wang knew for sure that it must have been someone from the village who had made trouble in front of that girl again.

The last time I dug a canal was the same way.

He hurried to the clan's residence, wanting to have a good talk with Fang Jinshiu.

And be sure to catch Li Gou when you go up the mountain to arrest people. Perhaps then, Xing Xu's wife will calm down a bit.

In the evening, Li Gou finally couldn't contain himself and fell into the trap.

Originally, Fang Jinshu had given the messenger sent by Zong Yu false information, saying he was going to Dong Mian, but in reality, he came to the mountains on Xi Mian.

It's difficult to store food on the mountain, so Li Gou had to kill and eat human flesh to survive. He had to hunt every day, constantly setting new traps to replenish his supply and avoid starving to death.

It's only a matter of time before we catch him.

That night, Fang Jinshu didn't handle the matter at home. Instead, she had Zong Yu bring the person to the open space in the center of the village after catching him.

A bonfire blazed in the open space, and torches were stuck into the surrounding walls, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

Nearly everyone in the village came. The Sun family sat before Fan Jinshi, holding their son's ashes. Their faces were ashen with grief.

When Li Gou appeared, almost everyone pointed at him and cursed.

If Wang, the village head, hadn't arranged people to surround him beforehand, everyone would have almost rushed up and beaten him to death in a fit of anger.

Li Gou's family didn't come. The moment someone died, his parents cut him off.

They probably also knew that the day Li Gou was arrested was the day he would pay for his crimes!

"Li Gou! You animal, I will kill you."

"I killed you!"

If Zongyu hadn't stopped him in time, Li Gou would have probably been stabbed to death.

"Jinxiu, Li Gou killed someone and committed a murder. We can't handle this privately, right"

"I think it's best to send it to the government." Wang, the village head, said worriedly.

Fang Jinxiu coldly stared at Li Gou, who was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. She turned her head and smiled at Wang Cunzhang.

"Uncle Wang, there's a drought everywhere in Luoshui County, the government doesn't have time to deal with our village's problems."

Sun Dahu knelt down with a thud before Village Chief Wang, kowtowing several times.

"Village head, since ancient times killing has meant paying with one's life. Li Gou killed my son and even ate his flesh."

"This is blood feud!"

"You can't turn him in to the authorities. He might talk his way out of it, and the officials could lighten Li Gou's punishment."

Fang Jinshu didn't say a word. If she reported Li Gou's matter to the government...

Even if County Magistrate Pan wanted to help them keep the secret of the wild village on that mountain, things would change as the situation escalated. Their village was too shallow-rooted and guarded a vital water source.

The consequences of sending this message are self-evident.

"Indeed, we can't file a report with the authorities."

"Then what should we do Shall we use private justice and kill him"

Wang, the village head, turned pale.

The villagers around had long been outraged, and upon hearing this they cried out in unison.

"What if we use corporal punishment For someone like Li Gou, a beastly thing, he deserves to be killed directly!"

"Yes! He deserves to die."

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Li Gousha's act of killing people from his own village and eating their flesh enraged everyone, and the situation gradually spiraled out of control.

At this time, only Zong Yu quietly stood beside Fang Jinshu.

"Huh"

Fang Jinshu laughed coldly, "What's there to care about."

"Our village is full of ungrateful ingrates like Li Gou. He deserves to die today without a doubt, but he shouldn't die at our hands."

Just as Fang Jinshu's voice fell, suddenly someone screamed, followed by...

"Li, Li Gou was killed by Sun's grandmother!"

Everyone froze in place, but only Uncle Sun, his face contorted with rage and grief, crawled over and grabbed the knife again. He continued to hack at Li Gou several times more.

Not until the body was mangled beyond recognition did the couple find satisfaction.

The villagers were enraged, but they were ordinary people. At first glance at the scene of the killing, so bloody, they were all scared and ran home.

Fang Jinshu stood up at this time and shouted.

"Today, Li Gou's death, you all share the responsibility!"

"Think you can just hide at home and be fine"and anything.""You're such a lovey-dovey old man, why are you flaunting your affection in front of her She doesn't even understand!"Zong Yu raised an eyebrow. Bai Xuan didn't understand, and he wasn't...
