Chapter 182 Kneel down and apologize
Everyone is not blind, so they can naturally see the expressions of these two gentlemen clearly.
Except for the children, everyone, men, women and children were surprised, and in turn, they despised the Guo family.
Those women were all the daughters-in-law or daughters of the Guo family. When such a tragedy happened, outsiders like them felt sympathy and felt sorry for them. They wished they could avenge them, or they regretted that they had been negligent and did not save them.
As a result, Mr. Guo and Guo Qing, their two relatives, despised them for being raped by bandits and destroying their innocence and chastity. Not only did I not feel sad about their suicide, I was actually relieved!
No wonder those women hanged themselves so simply. Perhaps they knew better that even if they survived, they would not be able to return home.
Jiayin's heart felt cold, and she hugged Old Mrs. Li's thigh tightly. Old Mrs. Li quickly put her granddaughter in her arms, patted her granddaughter's back gently with her big hands, and whispered comforting, "Don't be afraid, Fu Niu, you must live on at any time." . Only by living can you take revenge and live a better life.”
Jiayin hugged her grandma's neck and said nothing, feeling extremely happy in her heart.
If she suffered such a tragic incident, her grandmother, parents and family would definitely not be so heart-wrenching.
Mr. Liu and his son looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Liu Zhiheng understood that his family would not get too close to the Guo family in the future, and it was just a matter of friendship.
Such a family is so cruel to their own family, and their reputation is more important than the lives of their daughter-in-law and daughter.
Then who can expect to get sincerity from them?
Every time someone slaughters a dog in a righteous manner, he or she is a scholar with a negative heart. What happened today is vividly reflected.
The Xincun people who were born as refugees are kind, brave, enthusiastic and upright.
The Guo family, which has a century-old scholarly family background, is so shameless and ruthless!
Perhaps feeling the bad looks from everyone, Mr. Guo coughed twice and pretended to wipe his eyes twice.
Guo Qing immediately shouted, "What about the collection of books? What do you think? That is the treasure of Taihua Academy. My eldest brother and the others will keep it with them at all times. How did it get into your hands?"
Captain Liu glanced at him coldly and replied, "After killing the bandits and burying the Guo family, we were afraid that the bandits might have accomplices, so I took two boys and stayed near the bandits' den for two days. ”
"Yes, Jiayi and I were walking around with my father. There are only two mountains away from the official road outside the mountain. We wanted to see what was going on outside and whether there were any barbarians."
It was Liu Yang who took the lead. Maybe he was tired from work, or maybe it was time to draw the note. He had lost a lot of weight, but he had also grown taller. Now he was standing with Jiayi, looking very angry.
After all, they were trying their best to kill the bandits back then and were all injured. But now they were wrongly accused and their good intentions were not rewarded.
Jiayi also said, "We climbed a mountain and found several big book boxes. Because my eldest brother likes to read, we opened the box and took the books back to the cave. Those book boxes were very heavy, and they were obviously from mountains. The gangsters thought it was worthless, so they threw it on the roadside, along with the book boxes and some simple luggage. We didn’t ask for it, so they should still be there.”
The two of them spoke in detail and even showed Mr. Guo the scars on their bodies.
The villagers also stepped forward one after another, opening their sleeves and coats to reveal the scars on their bodies.
Mrs. Cui, Old Mrs. Li and others quickly turned away, prompting the village chief to bang the pipe and pot, "Okay, put down your clothes quickly, there are still women."
Everyone was so angry that they just let it go, but when they looked at the Guo family, their eyes were full of grievances and anger.
Mr. Guo already regretted it. He should not have come today, nor should he be looking for the truth.
Because these villagers really don't look like they are lying. One or two people can act, but it is impossible for such a hundred or ten people to be so consistent.
He almost certainly wronged these people.
He glared at his nephew fiercely, feeling somewhat resentful that his nephew kept saying that his family members were wronged and wanted to seek justice. Guo Qing felt guilty, this was really beyond his plan.
He thought they were just a bunch of mud-legged people who would give in after a few scare words, but he didn't expect them all to be so tough.
He gritted his teeth and continued to act rogue, "You are all from the same village, so naturally you have agreed on the same tone in advance. No one is stupid, how can you admit that you have killed people and robbed money? Do you think that our Guo family women have lost their honor? Are we not going to ask for the truth?
"Humph, it's a dream! It's a fact that you took the money my eldest brother and the others brought to build this hot spring valley. Even if you say a thousand words, you still just rely on your mouth. There is no evidence at all to prove that you didn't kill anyone!"
Everyone was so angry that they gritted their teeth, but Li Laosi and Liu Biao knew the truth, so they all looked at Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui sighed, thinking of the women who were hanged, she couldn't bear it, but she couldn't care less at this time.
She turned to Mr. Guo and said, "Mr., when the female relatives of your family wrote suicide notes before they hanged themselves, they have been kept here by me. I was afraid that you would be too sad, so I planned to hide it and asked the villagers not to say more. .
“After all, they are dead, so their misery should no longer be used as a joke in the world. I didn’t expect that you act so stupidly, so I don’t have to save face for the Guo family.”
As she spoke, she motioned to Sister-in-law Qiong to take out a small box.
Sister-in-law Qiong just went back to the next door to get it. Now the box was opened and the blood book was exposed.
Mr. Wen picked it up halfway, unfolded it himself, and presented it to Mr. Guo.
Mr. Guo recognized the handwriting of his eldest daughter-in-law at a glance. The blood letter said that they encountered bandits, their children and husband were dead, and they had no intention of living.
If this blood letter is sent to the family the next day, please thank the villagers for saving their lives, take good care of their youngest son Wen Hao, and remember to take their bones back when you have the opportunity.
Mr. Guo’s eyes were blurred with tears again. Although he valued the reputation of the Guo family more, how could he forget the filial and caring nature of his daughter-in-law and daughter.
When he came to visit friends, he brought his grandson to seek medical treatment. Little did he know that a separation would mean the difference between life and death!
“Woo, our Guo family teaches and educates people and never does evil things. How come we have to suffer such misfortune!”
The dying old man cries so miserably that it makes people feel sad to see him.
But everyone present had a cold face and was no longer willing to give any sympathy.
Guo Qing wanted to take the blood book, but Mr. Wen took it back.
Waiting for Mr. Guo to gradually stop crying, he asked loudly, "Mr. Guo, do you still suspect us of killing people and robbing wealth?"
Mr. Guo heard that they no longer called him Shanzhang, and he knew that he had completely lost face today.
Fortunately, he still had some responsibility, so he stood up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to everyone to admit his mistake.
"Dear benefactors, I have been foolish today, and I have wronged you all by being careless. In a few days, I will definitely come to apologize with a generous gift. Please also understand that I am completely dizzy because my whole family was killed."
The villagers all gave way, unwilling to accept the kowtow of an old man, but no one said forgiveness.
Mr. Guo looked at Mr. Liu with prayer in his eyes, but Mr. Liu pretended not to see.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very awkward.
Guo Qing did not kneel down, and now glared at Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen angrily.
I blame them for favoring the villagers and ruining his way to make a fortune!
