Being suddenly scolded by Long Lin, the village chief's expression became very ugly.
Instinctively, I want to refute, and if I want to refute, I don't need to think at all, I just open my mouth.
"Young hero, do you think I want this? What can I do?"
"Facing this powerful guy like Liu Nang, I can't defeat him at all. With such a villain like him, is there anyone he wouldn't dare to kill?"
"You think I'm willing to give in? You think I'm willing to swallow my anger?"
"But if I don't do this? What else can I do?"
"I am also a human being and I have a family. I don't want my family to die because of this. Is this wrong?"
"Yes, you are right. The rest of the people in the village are also common people in this village. I am the village chief and I should protect the entire village."
"But what about them? They are all from this village. Don't they know that they will encounter danger when they go out?"
"Don't they know that they may never come back after they go out?"
"They knew it, but they still rushed to get there. What's the reason for all this? Is it all my fault?"
"I am also a person, what can I do alone?"
The village chief also felt angry in his heart.
It was not that he had never thought about this matter. It was precisely because he had thought about it so many times that he gave up resisting and giving up the idea of seeking a solution from the government.
He gave up resistance, which had a lot to do with Liu Nang's change.
If Liu Nang continues to bully his family and doesn't treat them well, then he will definitely not give up, even if it costs him his life.
But Liu Nang has changed. He can live, and his family can also live. Many people in the village, he actually understands, they all want to follow Liu Nang to go out and get that large amount of money.
If it weren't for the money they could get, how could these villagers be willing to follow Liu Nang out there?
Liu Nang did not threaten the people in the village. Every time he left the village, the young people followed Liu Nang voluntarily.
If they are really afraid of not being able to come back, they don’t have to go at all, right?
Since he has been able to live a good life, since his family and Liu Nang can live a good life, why should he? He has to make trouble for Liu Nang and kill Liu Nang?
Is Liu Nang's death really a good thing?
The life of the villagers in the village was already very difficult, but since Liu Bang was born, those who came back could bring back money, and those people, including their families, could also live a relatively good life.
The families of those who cannot come back are certainly miserable, but aren't the families of those who come back very happy?
In the hearts of these people who came back, I am afraid they are all very grateful to Liu Nang. It is precisely because of Liu Nang that their lives are no longer so poor.
They can happily buy a large amount of clothing, and they can also buy some things to supplement their household income. They no longer have to worry about not having enough food and clothing. Isn't this a good thing?
Could it be that he was the only one protecting Liu Bang?
That's not the case. Those young people who follow Liu Nang, and those old people who follow Liu Nang, aren't they all protecting Liu Nang?
The village chief's words made Long Lin's anger calm down immediately.
In his eyes, he only looks at the overall situation and the public, so the village chief's behavior is very hateful.
But after listening to the village chief's words, Long Lin seemed to understand something in an instant.
In the final analysis, the reason why this matter can continue is entirely because of money.
The entire population of Xiaohei Village became like this just because of this money.
The village chief was just for money from the beginning, and for the sake of money, he swallowed his anger and stopped caring about all Liu Nang's actions.
Most of the people in the village, knowing that they might die outside, still left the village to seize the slim chance, hoping that they could follow Liu Nang back to the village with money.
If they can't come back, they are probably well prepared. If they come back, they will have wealth and can live a good life.
Is this really the fault of the village elder?
Long Lin immediately showed a bitter smile in his heart, and in his opinion, he also had his answer.
Looking at this matter from the perspective of a person in power, the village chief was wrong, very wrong. If this continues, he will not only help the thieves, but also cause many people to lose their lives outside.
But from the perspective of the common people, it was precisely because of Liu Nang's arrival that they had the opportunity to earn money and the possibility of living a good life.
In fact, the occurrence of such a tragedy has a lot to do with the people in power. If the people can live a good life, they will definitely not care about their own lives just because of a few coins.
Money is more important than life, which is quite sad, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Long Lin calmed down and slowly sat back down again.
"Village Chief, you wasted your life and helped the tyrants do evil. As the village chief, this is your fault, but from your point of view, I think it is excusable."
"I don't know what to say, but think about it carefully. The reason why they brought back gold and silver is completely unwilling to reveal. What do you think they did after they went out? Do you think this is normal?"
"Haven't you ever thought about what they are doing?"
After hearing Long Lin's peaceful question, the village chief felt very complicated. In fact, he had always been troubled, but deep down in his heart, he was more inclined to Liu Nang.
It's not like Long Lin's words didn't come to his mind without thinking about some shady activities? What else could be a good thing?
From Liu Nang's reaction to beating him, it is enough to see that this matter is definitely not a simple matter.
Is it an easy thing to do something that can cause people to lose their lives?
He could imagine it, but how could those insiders and villagers not think of it?
But even if you think of it, so what? After all, no one knows where they went? No one knows what they did after they went out.
After all, those who come back alive account for the majority, and those who cannot come back are just some of them.
"Young hero, I understand what you are thinking. I have also thought about this matter. After they went out, they definitely did not do anything good."
"But what if you think about it? Is such a big thing something that Liu Nang can accomplish alone?"
"I can see that Liu Nang is just a leader in this. He has powerful skills and is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Even such a strong man is just a guide. What's going on behind this is probably very terrifying."
"Although Liu Nang is a vicious person, he is not a purely cold-blooded villain. If that were the case, the old Li Tou on this earth would have died in Liu Nang's hands long ago."
