Chapter 1109: We’re Not Leaving
As he spoke, Chief Zhou waved his hand and said to the villagers behind him, “Arrest these two people who deliberately caused trouble and trespassed into the Zhou family’s ancestral hall.”
The villagers behind him were eager to give it a try, but the Chang clansmen could not help but look at Chief Chang, who was a little hesitant.
Just as he was not sure which side he was on, Shao Qingyuan suddenly took out something and slammed it forward. “Let’s see who dares to come over.”
The villagers were shocked by his aura and stopped in their tracks. They looked at the thing in Shao Qingyuan’s hand—they didn’t recognize it.
However, he did not recognize it. The expressions of the heads of the Zhou and Chang families changed drastically after taking a look.
Shao Qingyuan looked at them. “The two patriarchs are knowledgeable. You should know this thing, right?”
“F-Fish Talisman…” Chief Zhou’s pupils constricted. He raised his head and asked in shock, “You, you are…”
Chief Chang’s eyes lit up and he instantly stood his ground.
If the two of them were a man and a woman without any background or foundation, after they barged into the Great Rock Village alone and even openly expressed their relationship with Gu Xiaoxi, they did not take the two clansmen seriously at all.
They were brave but not resourceful. Moreover, they were alone and did not have much use.
Even if Patriarch Chang was on their side, they did not have the confidence to win.
However, things were different now. This person had a Fish Talisman and was an official of the imperial court. Since they were Gu Xiaoxi’s relatives, they definitely wouldn’t let Gu Xiaoxi bear the crime of adultery. They would definitely let him be innocent.
Since Gu Xiaoxi’s crime was gone, the crime of adultery with Chang Yaya was naturally not established.
Then, they would be able to take back all the benefits that the Chang family had given to the Zhou family.
However, the fierceness in Chief Zhou’s eyes intensified. However, he did not dare to harm the officials of the imperial court. If these two people dared to come to Great Rock Village alone, their people must be waiting not far away.
After Shao Qingyuan added fuel to the fire, he turned around and squatted down, carrying Gu Xiaoxi on his back.
Gu Yundong thought for a moment and helped Chang Yaya up.
Chang Yaya looked at her in surprise. Gu Yundong smiled at her. “Let’s go. We’ll talk outside.”
However, Chief Zhou gritted his teeth and stood in front of them. He said indignantly, “You can’t leave. Even if you’re an official of the imperial court, it’s a fact that Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya have committed adultery. Even if we can’t carry out the death sentence, they have to be punished according to the rules.”
Shao Qingyuan looked at Chief Chang. “What do you think?”
Chief Chang laughed. “I heard it clearly just now. The few pieces of evidence are indeed a little shaky. As for the last piece of evidence, now that Chang Yaya and Hong Xiaoni both have their own arguments, no one can be convinced. I think this matter needs to be investigated again. After all, human lives are at stake. We can’t act rashly. No matter what, we have to let the truth be revealed. Chief Zhou, don’t you think so?”
“You…” This shameless old thief.
However, the other elders of the Chang family nodded repeatedly. “That makes sense. I felt that something is wrong. There’s indeed a need to investigate again.”
“Of course.” Chief Chang turned to Shao Qingyuan and said, “Before the truth comes out, you can’t leave Great Rock Village. After all, Gu Xiaoxi is still a suspect.”
“Of course we won’t leave. I won’t let my uncle leave dejectedly with great injustice on his back. I will bring my uncle away fair and square,” Gu Yundong said with narrowed eyes.
