Chapter 323: Chapter 323 It’s You
They relied on their elder brother and sister-in-law to get wealthy and enjoy life; that was certainly better than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
But when Liu Dazhuang spoke, he did seem to present a clear and organized argument; it didn’t sound like he was spouting nonsense.
Gu Erya got angry and shouted loudly, "You’re talking nonsense! How can we trust the words of a human trafficker?" How could her father have killed her uncle and aunt and harmed her older sister?
The village chief snorted coldly, lifting his walking stick and addressing Liu Dazhuang, "Don’t think you can get away with spouting lies, you’ll have to go to the Governor’s Office whether you like it or not."
"I’m telling the truth, believe it or not," Liu Dazhuang said.
The village chief pressed on, "Gu Feng did such a thing, and nobody in our village knew about it, yet you know so much? Tell us, where were you twelve years ago? How do you know all this in such detail?"
Liu Dazhuang was at a loss for words and, gritting his teeth, said, "Someone told me."
"Who told you?" the village chief demanded, pressing him further.
"I don’t know; someone told me last night. I didn’t see his face clearly."
Last night? Wasn’t Liu Dazhuang in the village chief’s firewood shed last night? Everyone turned their gaze to the village chief.
Seeing this, the village chief’s nose bent in anger as he cursed, "Damn human trafficker, spouting lies. You defamed Gu Feng and now you dare to slander me; I’ll beat you to death."
The village chief was also up in years, so upon getting angry, he started to tremble all over, and the others quickly restrained him, advising, "Don’t get mad, sir. Why bother with a human trafficker who bites anyone he can? Let’s just send him off to the county Governor’s Office and let the Magistrate’s paddle take care of him."
"Right, tie him up and send him to the Governor’s Office."
Actually, Liu Dazhuang also found the situation unbelievable. It was normal for others not to trust him, but at least he had said his piece and felt much better inside.
So when several of the village men picked up the rope to tie him again, he just sighed, cursed his bad luck internally, and did not struggle or offer any more excuses.
Compared to Huang Xiangwen and Gu Feng on the other side, who were incessantly quarreling, he appeared much calmer.
With a "plop," rain fell from the sky once again, and the person binding Liu Dazhuang instinctively wiped his hand, but before he had a chance to look, the crowd gasped in alarm.
On closer inspection, the man realized that it wasn’t rainwater on his hand, but blood.
Turning around sharply, he saw Gu Feng standing unsteadily, his mouth full of blood.
The blood that had just been spat out was his.
"Grandpa!"
"Father!"
"Oh dear, Elder Gu."
"Brother Gu!"
The crowd exploded into chaos, everyone rushing towards Gu Feng, even Gu Feng and Huang Xiangwen, who were bound, struggled to break free and ran to him.
"Elder Brother Gu, you must hold on, don’t listen to that human trafficker’s nonsense," urged an elderly man in the crowd.
"Brother Shunzi, Brother Shunzi, hurry and fetch the doctor!" Gu Erya called out to Shunzi.
"Right, I’m on it!" Shunzi responded and sprinted away swiftly.
Gu Feng steadied his breath and looked around at everyone, finally settling his gaze on Gu Feng.
Gu Feng knew that Liu Dazhuang hadn’t spouted nonsense; he was telling the truth, which was why the pallor on his face, along with his repressed anger and fear, had not subsided. Seeing Gu Feng looking at him, he grew even more nervous.
The frail and weak voice of the elderly Gu Feng slowly emerged, "It’s true, what Liu Dazhuang said isn’t wrong, it was you, it was you!"
Gu Feng pointed fiercely at Gu Feng.
The entire place was in an uproar.
