Chapter 478: The No.15 Scholar's Wife
Before, we could still say that it was someone else who set the fire, but now so many things have happened one after another, which doesn’t seem right.
The scene in the village chief's yard was also seen by nearby neighbors, and it was very weird.
Who could kill so many chickens in the middle of the night without making any noise?
"Did Meng Zhengtang offend his ancestors, which led to so many things happening in the village?"
When people mentioned Meng Zhengtang, everyone thought it made sense. Everything in the village was fine before, so why did it suddenly become like this?
"That's right. Now that there is a man like Meng Zhengtang in the clan, he should be expelled from the clan. It must be him who angered the ancestors."
"Yes, we must exterminate the clan. If we don't exterminate the clan, who knows what will happen in the village."
……
Everyone was talking at once, filled with indignation, and all blamed Meng Zhengtang for the incident.
The village chief and clan elders all thought it made sense, but they were also afraid that things would get more complicated, so they expelled Meng Zhengtang from the clan directly.
Fu Qi was not surprised by what they did. After all, in their hearts, what they did to the original owner was insignificant.
How could anyone have imagined that the village would suffer because of this reason.
They also thought that after doing this, everything would be settled.
But Fu Qi had no intention of easily forgiving those who had harmed the original owner.
If everything was really like what happened to them, the original owner would have to bear the fate of being divorced, or elope with someone else with the child and end up being a slut.
It was only because Fu Qi was there to take care of everything that the infamy did not fall on the original owner.
In the middle of the night, Fu Qi appeared in Mengjia Village again, and this time he arrested the village chief.
The village chief was awake this time. He watched in horror as Fu Qi took him to the door of the abandoned ancestral hall.
He was acupunctured and couldn't speak. He could only look at Fu Qi with horror.
He recognized Fu Qi's identity, but he didn't understand when Meng Zhengtang's wife became so capable?
Fu Qi had no intention of unblocking his acupoints.
When the village chief thought about what had happened recently, he believed that Fu Qi was a ghost who was killed by Meng Zhengtang and now came back for revenge.
He was so scared that he peed himself and wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't say a word.
"I know everything you have done. I am here to take your life today." Fu Qi cut his throat with a knife.
Blood gushed out, the village chief covered his neck, and blood flowed out from between his fingers. Finally, he fell down unwillingly and died.
Fu Qi used his blood to write the three words "I am guilty" on the ground.
Then he left.
There are three people left.
Originally everyone thought that everything had returned to normal, but the village chief was found dead at the door of the ancestral hall. Seeing his death and the words written on the ground, everyone was panicked.
No matter how terrified they were before, no one died. But it’s different now. The village chief just died like that. How could they not be afraid?
In the end, someone reported the case to the police. After all, someone was dead, and they could only let the government investigate.
Upon hearing that the head of Mengjia Village had died, several officials came.
After listening to the villagers talk about the recent situation in the village, they didn't take it seriously. They thought that someone must be taking revenge maliciously and was just playing tricks.
The officer looked for a long time but found no clues about the murderer, so he could only report it to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate felt it was unlucky. He naturally knew Mengjia Village, after all, a new top scholar had emerged there.
But who knew that Meng Zhengtang was so disappointing. Now he was not concerned about the affairs of Mengjia Village and just let his subordinates investigate. If they couldn't find out anything, they would just drag it out.
