Chapter 106 How Can You Be So Vicious
"Isn't it? Look, he's covered in blood! This is a sin!" The other two women of the Li family also echoed.
"My son has a miserable life! He went with the elders of the Gongxi tribe to get rice for no reason, but he came back as a traitor!"
The woman who was speaking burst into tears. "How am I going to live like this?"
She wiped her tears as she spoke, she was so heartbroken, as if her own son was not a traitor but a hero who was framed.
Four of the eight traitors were descendants of the Li family, two were Li Gouzi’s uncles, and the remaining two were the sons of Li’s daughters.
Things have become like this. If the wife of the Li family does not pretend to make a fuss, the villagers may suspect that the Li family has long had second thoughts.
So the old man of the Li family ordered his wife and daughter-in-law to come out and make a scene, hoping to save his children and grandchildren.
Even if they couldn't save their children and grandchildren, the village chief would at least not drive the Li family out of the village. There were so many refugees fleeing famine outside, and it would be difficult for them to survive if they left the village.
It would be better to just put the blame on others. Li's second daughter-in-law also chimed in.
"That's right... Who knew the elder of the Gongxi clan would suddenly get injured? It's just that God is jealous of his talent... What does it have to do with my son?"
"Second sister-in-law is absolutely right. The elder of the Gongxi tribe was clearly injured by the refugees fleeing famine. My son has a miserable life~~~"
"Bah, nonsense. Le Qing said that he was beaten by these traitors, and you are still here distorting the truth." The Zuo elder said angrily.
"Eat quickly so you can get going. Anyone who makes trouble again will be kicked out of the village." The elder of the Yan clan also shouted loudly.
The faces of the traitors were as if splashed with cold water, and they instantly lost their color.
They sat around a wooden table in the pigpen, on which was a large bowl of braised wild boar meat and several bowls of steaming rice.
Knowing that this was their last meal before execution, almost no one bothered to continue eating.
At this moment, the noise in their ears seemed to add a bit of heaviness to their mood.
The uneasiness and fear in the air were like the haze before a storm, making it hard for them to breathe.
Only then did they regret their previous impulsiveness. How great it would have been if they had not listened to Zuo Kexin and attacked the elders of the Gongxi tribe!
Hearing the elders' accusations, the people around them began to talk: "Isn't it true? Brother Li Gouzi is worse than pigs and dogs!"
"These traitors are truly ruthless. They actually betrayed the elders of the Gongxi tribe just for Miss Song's food... Alas! People like them deserve to die!"
"If I were there, I would rather die than betray you!"
"Alas! There are so many people like these who sell out their masters for personal gain... The world is truly going downhill!"
"I used to think that the Li family had so many children and grandchildren, and they were all very brave. Who knew they were so heartless and ruthless?"
"That's right, that's right... these ungrateful people... The village chief was willing to feed them before they set off. He was truly kind and righteous!"
Gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person. In a short period of time, all the villagers accused him of being a traitor and executed him immediately.
Li Gouzi's grandfather stood behind the crowd and listened silently, with a slightly evil smile on his face.
"Haha, I, an old man, have wanted to be kicked out of the village for a long time. I want to see how this matter will turn out in the end."
His granddaughter, however, was extremely anxious. She grabbed a young man and asked, "Uncle, what exactly happened? Is my cousin really a traitor?"
"Shh~" The honest young man made a gesture to silence himself. "How can you talk about such things so casually?"
"Uncle, what is going on?" Li Gouzi's cousin asked anxiously.
"Alas... your cousin is indeed a traitor. He colluded with the Huo family to beat up the elders of the Gongxi clan. I'm afraid these traitors will be executed!"
"What? My cousin and his cousin actually beat up the elder of the Gongxi tribe?" Li Gouzi's cousin suddenly felt a buzzing in her head and her vision went dark.
She has been in Mojia Village with her grandfather and several cousins for three years. Brother Gongxi is the man she dreams of marrying.
Her cousin and her cousin actually beat her up!
"Girl, our village chief and the elders will definitely punish you. You'd better run away quickly to avoid being punished."
"No! I must save my cousin. Even if I have to sacrifice my life for Brother Gongxi, I will do it!"
Li Gouzi's cousin said firmly that if she didn't have a happy smile on her face, this honest young man might have believed that she was a good girl.
"Ah~" the young man shook his head and sighed, "Never mind, you'll get married sooner or later anyway. It's a blessing for you to marry a member of the Gongxi tribe."
“…” Li Gouzi’s cousin was about to make a few more excuses for herself when she heard someone shout, “The village chief and the elders of the Gongxi tribe are here.”
"The village chief is here. Let him decide whether my son should die or not." The second daughter-in-law of the Li family shouted excitedly.
Although the village chief doesn't like to talk, he is very kind to the villagers. He should be reluctant to execute his young and strong son!
When Mo Lengzhou appeared in front of the pigpen, everyone held their breath.
He was a young man with a burly build and excellent martial arts skills. Every step he took seemed to cause the ground to shake. He was steady and firm.
His gaze was like a sharp blade, cutting through the fragile bottom line in the traitors' hearts.
The traitors felt the invisible pressure, and the noise around them instantly disappeared, leaving only their rapid heartbeats.
A traitor heard that the village chief had arrived and immediately dropped his bowl and chopsticks, crying and begging for mercy, "Village chief, please give me a chance."
"Village chief, elders of the Gongxi tribe, please give me a chance!" One of the traitors cried.
Tears welled up in his eyes, his voice trembled, and his eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
Another traitor followed closely behind, clasping his hands together and pleading, "Village Chief, Gongxi Elder, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!"
"Village Chief, Gongxi elder, I took action based on Aunt Zuo Shiyi's advice, but I really didn't use any harsh force."
His voice was hoarse and full of regret, as if he was fighting the fear in his heart.
Mo Lengzhou stared quietly at the teenagers kneeling in front of him, his eyes like frost in the cold winter.
Mo Lengzhou ruthlessly scanned the faces of every traitor. There was no trace of pity on his face, only deep disappointment and heartache.
It was as if a village chief who had experienced many vicissitudes of life was filled with torn pain because of the betrayal of his villagers.
He asked in a cold tone, "Brother Gongxi has always been very kind to you, teaching you how to read and practice martial arts. Is this how you repay him?"
"Village head, elders of the Gongxi tribe, please give me a chance. I will definitely work like a slave to repay you."
The crowd around him fell silent in an instant, so quiet that it was terrifying. Only his shrill cry for mercy broke the silence at that moment.
"You guys should eat. It's better to be on your way after you're full." Gongxi Leqing said expressionlessly.
"No, elder of the Gongxi tribe, how can you be so vicious?" the traitor said as he rushed forward.
