"You killed my son and you dare to hit me. I will fight with you."
Wu lost her mind and rushed towards Min Xiyao like a madman. Min Xiyao moved her steps and dodged past.
Mrs. Wu jumped in the air and fell into pieces. The rest of the Min family stared at Min Xiyao fiercely, as if they wanted to break Min Xiyao into pieces.
The most cherished son died, and he died so tragically that the uncle of the Min family could not bear the blow, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
There was chaos at the scene, and officers and soldiers quickly intervened to stop it.
"Why are you arguing? If you continue to argue, I will take you all to jail."
The village chief also came at this time, and earnestly advised Wu: "Rongli is dead. I know you can't accept it and feel very sad. However, now that Wu Zuo is here and the cause of Rongli's death has not been found out, you are going to bite her." Xiyao, it’s best not to talk nonsense without evidence.”
"Otherwise, girl Xiyao accuses you of slander, and you will be put in a cell."
The village chief's wife and several other women also came forward to persuade Wu. Wu did not trouble Min Xiyao anymore, but she cried even more sadly.
Min Xuejiao and Wu Chunhua felt secretly resentful when they saw that Mrs. Wu did not trouble Min Xiyao.
This useless thing from the Wu family didn't dare to cause trouble to Min Xiyao even though his son was dead.
"Bah! This whole family is a loser!"
Wu Chunhua scolded Min Xuejiao. Min Xuejiao was so angry that she squeezed the handkerchief tightly and looked at the village chief and Min Xiyao with hateful eyes.
Wu Zuo made a detailed inspection and announced the conclusion when it got dark.
"The deceased was bitten to death by a wild wolf. There was animal attracting powder on his body. It can be seen from the clothes in his arms that he carried the animal attracting powder in his arms and took it to the mountain."
"There were no other people's footprints or traces around, and there was only the deceased. This shows that the deceased went up the mountain by himself. The animal attracting powder in his arms attracted wild wolves, and he was bitten to death by the wolves."
Thinking of the tragic situation of the deceased, Wu Zuo, with the help of his apprentice, helped clean up the scene.
"What? The animal-attracting powder? What is he doing up the mountain with the animal-attracting powder?"
There was a panic among the crowd. Animal-attracting powder is a banned drug and ordinary people cannot buy it at all. Animal attracting powder has the effect of attracting wild animals. Only old hunters who often hunt will buy a little bit in a fixed place.
Why did Min Rongli, a scholar, buy animal attracting powder and take it to the mountain?
Countless questions filled the villagers' minds, and even the village chief frowned.
However, the Wu family and the Min family did not accept this result. Wu family roared and ran to the officers and soldiers crying:
"No, it's not. How could my Rongli bring the animal powder up the mountain? Someone must have harmed her. It was her, that bitch Min Xiyao who harmed my son."
"Master Bing, please capture Min Xiyao to avenge my son. Honor your honor! My son! Why did you leave your mother alone!"
The Hu family and several other junior members of the Min family also cried, asking the official to seek justice for Min Rongli.
Wu Zuo wanted to leave, but when he heard the Min family's cries, he stepped forward and angrily said to the Min family:
"What? You don't believe the results of my examination? In that case, you can just go to the Yamen and file a complaint."
It's unreasonable. These people simply don't know what he means and don't even believe in his ability.
I have been working as a painter for twenty years, and this was the first time I was refuted in person. I was so angry that I was so angry.
The Yamen servant also came over, grabbed Mrs. Wu and said:
"Since you don't believe the results of our inspection, come with us to the Yamen."
These ignorant villagers simply don’t know what is good or bad.
They had climbed mountains and waded in rivers for so long, and stayed with the corpse on the mountain for most of the day without any oil or water, not even a sip of water, and yet these people came to make trouble.
The Yamen servant was so powerful that he was so frightened that Mrs. Wu repeatedly begged for mercy:
"I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. Don't catch me."
The people in the eldest room of the Min family also begged for mercy: "Please let my mother go, and we will never make trouble again."
The officer then let Wu go and spat at Wu:
"A group of ignorant villagers interfered with official duties and made us anxious. We will arrest you and put you in a cell."
The Min family was so frightened that they no longer dared to cry.
Having come to the conclusion that there was no longer any need for the Yamen and Zuo to stay, they left the scene.
When the Min family saw these vicious officials leaving, they hurriedly ran forward and looked at the bloody corpses. Then they saw Old Man Min and Boss Min who had fainted on the ground, and they cried even harder.
Upon seeing this, the village chief immediately arranged for the villagers to carry Old Man Min and Boss Min back to the village, and asked the Min family to collect Min Rongli's body.
The Min family was so frightened that they did not dare to touch it.
Having no other choice, the village chief arranged for a few brave people in the village to carry Min Rongli's broken body down.
Min Xiyao ignored the Min family and walked straight home.
Wu Chunhua looked straight at her back, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.
Min Xuejiao's tears kept flowing, not because she was sad about her cousin's death, but because she was sad for herself.
With her cousin gone, no one will stand up for her. As a concubine of Li Hongcai, how will she live her life in the future?
Just when she was sad, she inadvertently raised her head, looked into Wu Chunhua's eyes for a moment, and then quickly lowered her head.
After Wu Chunhua stopped being stupid, why did her eyes look so scary?
Also, how did Min Xiyao, who had always been obedient, become so terrifying?
It was his fault that the cousin went to buy animal attracting powder. Now Min Xiyao is not dead, but the cousin died tragically. All this is related to Min Xiyao.
Wu Chunhua and Min Xiyao both woke up from high fevers and their temperaments changed drastically.
Min Xuejiao was startled, and she had a bold guess in her heart.
Could it be that they were all reborn like him?
Becoming more and more certain of this guess, Min Xuejiao's body swayed, she became unsteady and almost fainted.
Mother Li kept staring at Min Xuejiao, noticing Min Xuejiao's uncertain eyes, always feeling that Min Xuejiao had some ulterior motive.
He walked quickly towards Min Xuejiao, grabbed Min Xuejiao's ear with one hand, and cursed viciously:
"You are such a scumbag. You defeated your eldest cousin to death. Do you still want to starve our family Hongcai to death? Why don't you go back and cook."
Min Xuejiao was in pain, and tears flowed down:
"Mom, don't pull my ears. I'm going back to cooking now."
When had she ever been so wronged?
Mother actually arranged a crime for her to kill a relative in front of so many people.
Do you want to kill her and marry that bitch Min Xiyao again?
So many people are watching! Mother, don’t you save any face?
Min Xuejiao cried in grievance and went home with Mother Li scolding her.
As soon as he got home, Li Hongcai walked out.
Min Xiyao saw that he had a bad look on his face and quickly squeezed out a smile, "Hongcai, are you hungry? I'm going to cook for you now."
Li Hongcai frowned and asked unhappily:
"My cousin was bitten to death by a wild beast. How can you laugh at such a tragic thing?"
"Well……"
Min Xuejiao was about to cry. She just wanted to please her husband. Why was she still being questioned mercilessly?
With this look again, Li Hong waved his hand in disgust: "Go! Don't bother me in front of me."
As a scholar in the same village, Min Rongli felt more or less sympathetic to each other.
Now that Min Rongli is dead, Li Hongcai feels a little uncomfortable. As Min Rongli's cousin, Min Xuejiao can actually laugh, which makes Li Hongcai feel that Min Xuejiao is a heartless and unjust person.
You know, Min Rongli had threatened him several times because of this cousin!
