The mood of the villagers was quickly calmed down, and everyone's cohesion was unprecedentedly high.
What's surprising is that everyone lost their previous resentment and became active, and the whole family joined the team to clean up.
At this point, Gu Changan and Gu Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Big Mouth," Gu Xiaobao said with a grateful face.
If she hadn't woken everyone up with her scolding, I'm afraid they would have bothered to explain it and eliminate all the misunderstandings about Lin Jiuniang in everyone's mind.
Li Dazui shook his head and waved his hand, "Whatever, what I said is true.
Jiuniang didn't do anything wrong. Those who did wrong were those bastards who were behind the scenes. I just can't see them throwing dirty water on Jiuniang.
When there are benefits, Jiuniang's one is better than that one's.
It’s no good. When something happens, it’s all Jiuniang’s fault. I’m sorry for these people!”
Li Dazui made a disgusted expression, then chatted with them for a few words, then turned and left.
Gu Changan sighed, "In the past, I always thought Li Dazui was being unreasonable, but now it seems that she is the most tolerant one."
"It's really impressive," Gu Xiaobao nodded in agreement.
Gu Changan looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was there, he said in a low voice with a serious face:
"Find a few trustworthy people and secretly keep an eye on everyone in the village.
I'm afraid someone has been bribed to deliberately incite other villagers to go against Jiuniang. Especially Liu Dagui, this old boy seems to have something wrong."
Gu Xiaobao nodded.
The two leaned their heads together and murmured in low voices for a long time before they separated and went about their work according to the division of labor they had discussed.
By the time night fell, only part of it had been cleaned up.
But everyone was so tired that after eating the steaming meals, they fell asleep covered with thick quilts.
Until the dead of night.
A figure climbed up quietly, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The person who quietly got up and left was none other than Liu Dagui.
In the dark and avoiding the night watchers, he quietly reached the outside of the village.
At the agreed place, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw someone standing not far away.
He walked over quietly and said, "Boss Zhang, I thought you were letting me go. I've already done what you asked for. It's time to give me the rest of the money."
Zhang Yupeng turned around, his eyes swept around the darkness, and then looked at Liu Dagui:
"Are you sure you did as I told you?"
"Really," Liu Dagui nodded, "I told the villagers everything you told me, and the villagers only made a fuss once at noon."
As he spoke, he put his hand to his mouth and breathed in the hot air, trying to dispel the cold.
"Okay, Boss Zhang, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore, give me the money quickly, I want to go back.
It's too cold at night, and if I'm discovered, I'll be in big trouble."
Zhang Yupeng glanced at him, took out a money bag and threw it over, "The remaining thirty taels."
Liu Dagui took the money bag, opened it with trembling hands, took a look and smiled:
"The number is right. If Boss Zhang does something good like this in the future, please remember to look for me. Then I will go back first."
After saying that, he turned around with a smile and prepared to leave.
Little did he know that the moment he turned around, Zhang Yupeng had a fierce look in his eyes, took out a dagger from his arms, and slowly approached him.
And just when he was about to take action, several people suddenly rushed out from the darkness.
Zhang Yupeng's face sank, he didn't care about killing Liu Dagui, he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
But how could Gu Xiaobao and the others, who had been prepared for it, let him run away?
He caught up with him with a quick stride, then swooped down and knocked him down.
Then other people rushed forward and captured the person.
Liu Dagui was stunned.
Some didn't react, but when they saw the dagger falling on the ground, their faces darkened.
Damn it, this guy named Zhang wants to burn down the bridge!
An angry look appeared on his face immediately, and he stepped forward to slap Zhang Yupeng, who was arrested by Gu Xiaobao and others, with a few slaps.
"Zhang, you are so cruel.
I do things for you and you want to kill people and silence them. You deserve to die.
You are in the first year of junior high school, don’t blame me for being in the fifteenth year.”
He turned around and immediately looked at Gu Xiaobao and the others with a serious face, "I confess, I admit that I took the money and spread rumors in the village as he said, but he asked me to do all this."
Gu Xiaobao sneered and stared at Liu Dagui with cold eyes:
"Don't worry, Liu Dagui, you can go back to the village and talk to the villagers.
Let me tell you, if the massacre of the village has anything to do with you, you can't run away."
After saying that, no matter what he yelled or yelled at, someone immediately took him back.
Gu Xiaobao's face was very dark. Someone was indeed doing something secretly. It was disgusting.
His eyes fell on Liu Dagui, who was still yelling, with a gloomy look on his face. Damn it, I don't know how many such villains in the village have been bribed.
Thinking of these villains wreaking havoc behind his back, he couldn't help but want to get angry.
A bunch of short-sighted people.
Seeing that Liu Dagui was still dissatisfied, he couldn't help but walked up and kicked him:
"Liu Dagui, shut up.
If you yell again, I will chop off your hands immediately."
Liu Dagui didn't dare to make any more trouble. He knew that Gu Xiaobao was telling the truth. He had seen Gu Xiaobao beat someone and he really wanted to kill him.
And just as they were about to walk towards the village, the sound of trampling horse hooves was heard from outside the village.
Listening to the sound, it seems to be the sound of two horses.
Gu Xiaobao's face immediately tensed up.
Is there anyone else who wants to cause damage?
With a sullen face, he pulled out the knife, then hid it aside, and at the same time had Liu Dagui's mouths blocked.
He glanced into the distance, listened to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and whispered:
"After a while, the horse approaches and attacks the horse's feet. Do you understand?"
As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, in the darkness, Gu Xiaobao and others held the knives in their hands tightly and stared at the horses that were getting closer and closer.
He raised his hands and told the others to get ready.
And he himself stared intently at the horse, which was getting closer and closer, and the people on the horse.
It seems...a little small.
When the horse was about to rush forward, Gu Xiaobao reacted and immediately stopped the others who were about to rush out:
"Stop, it's Mrs. Lin."
"It's Mrs. Lin who's back."
Everyone stopped quickly, holding their knives and looking at the horse that had already rushed past.
The horse stopped after running a long distance, and then turned back, and those on the horse were Lin Jiuniang and Lin Li.
As soon as everyone saw Lin Jiuniang, they immediately cheered:
"Ms. Lin is back, she's back!"
"Ms. Lin is back!"
…
The cheers awakened the birds in the cold night, and the sound of flapping birds could be heard from all around.
"What's going on?" Lin Jiuniang said with a cold face.
Gu Xiaobao suppressed the excitement in his heart and stepped forward, "Ms. Lin, Liu Dagui colluded with outsiders and spread all kinds of rumors that are detrimental to you in the village.
He came out to meet with people, and everyone got the stolen goods when we came."
Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and her face showed a ferocious look.
"Xiaobao, do you want to learn how to extract useful information from other people's mouths?"
"Think!" Gu Xiaobao's body trembled and he said seriously.
"Lin Li, do you understand this?" Lin Jiuniang looked at Lin Li, "Don't mind, just come as you like."
Lin Li nodded, knowing that she had suppressed her anger and didn't say much at this time.
Lin Jiuniang sneered, "Let's go back to the village!"
