“What more evidence do you need That valley of yours is proof enough! I asked around, and it cost over a thousand taels of silver to build. You bunch of refugees, if you’re not starving to death it’s pure luck. Where did you get the money to build this valley Don’t tell me, you stole it from my elder brother! You're living off blood money, standing on the lives of my elder brothers to have your good days!”

Li Lao'er turned his body back into the house, took the ledger, and slapped it directly on the table.

Back then, when we were at the bandits' lair, we did indeed obtain a few bags of grain and over two hundred taels of silver. But it's not necessarily that this silver belongs to your Guo family! Besides, we protected your Guo family's library and buried all twelve members of the Guo family. Even if the grain and silver belonged to the Guo family, what we said would be justifiable. That was our due reward!

"When it comes to building the Hot Spring Valley, over a thousand taels were used. Besides these two hundred taels, the rest were contributed by Madam Cui and Lord Hou. All the records of income and expenditure are here. If you don't believe me, you can check them."

When Li Lao Er brought out the account books of the Marquis and Mrs. Cui, Guo Qing became a little more restrained, but she still stubbornly argued, "These are your account books, so naturally you can write them however you want! The Marquis and Mrs. Cui are also your own people, so of course they should speak on your behalf!"

"Alright, then tell me, what do you want Go to the magistrate's office and reason with them Come on, we'll go with you to the end!" Li Lao Er was also getting annoyed, he reached out to drag Guo Qing out the door.

The villagers also shouted in agreement, “Yes, go to the county office! If that doesn’t work, we’ll file a complaint with the imperial court! I don’t believe there’s nowhere left that will listen to reason! It’s wrong to punish someone for trying to help, who else will dare to do good deeds in the future!”

Guo Qing was a little scared, dodging Li Lao Er's pull and shouting, "There's no need to go to the government office. No one has evidence, and no one can make sense of it. It's easy to solve this matter. You took our Guo family's silver to build the Hot Spring Villa, so just compensate us by giving the villa back!"

Everyone was enlightened and filled with disdain.

What's about seeking justice, what's about finding peace of mind, it's nothing but seeing their treasure chests and getting greedy, rushing to grab a share!

"Old Liu is incredibly disappointed. He looks at Old Guo, "Shan Chang, do you also think that everyone back then killed your children and grandchildren and took your wealth Now that we've built this Hot Spring Resort, shouldn't it be returned to the Guo family"

Mr. Guo's eyes were red, his gaze vacant, and suddenly two lines of tears streamed down his face.

“All I want to know is how my Guo family died! Were they killed by bandits, or did they die unjustly As for the manor house, everyone is dead. What use would it be to me!”

"No, Uncle. You wouldn't use it, you could give it to Wenhao. Wenhao's parents are gone, having some property would help him, at least he wouldn't worry about food and clothing afterwards!"

Guo Qing was afraid the old man would go back on his word, so he hurried to stand beside him and pleaded.

Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou, the village chief, and Mrs. Cui all looked at each other, their expressions complex, before nodding in agreement.

Li Laosi walked to the door and shouted, "Brothers who had killed bandits back in the day, come in!"

Immediately, over twenty young and middle-aged people crowded the room.

Mr. Wu Lao San and Ms. Qiong also moved silently and stood at the front.

Li Laosi glanced at Mr. Guo, his eyes filled with a touch of pity but mostly anger.

We were soft-hearted at first, unwilling for the Guo family to be too heartbroken, so we concealed some details. But since the old gentleman has suspicions, we will not beat around the bush anymore.

He pointed at Wu Laosan and Qiao's wife, and said again, "We went there originally because bandits had kidnapped the child. These two are the father of the child and Cui's maid respectively. They were all witnesses that day, so let them speak first and make things clear!"

Having said that, he stepped aside. While Qiong was still alright, Wu Lao San became angry and didn't care about much else. He blurted out: "Your Guo family is really heartless! Did you read your books until they ended up in a dog's stomach We risked our lives to kill bandits back then, expended so much effort burying your Guo family members. "

He was so angry his face turned red, and he started speaking angrily.

From the moment they discovered the child was missing, to the bandits' messenger relaying the news, and finally to their stealthy approach to the bandit stronghold, every detail was imbued with tension, keeping everyone on edge.

Not until the story of the Guo family men being stripped naked and hung from trees, freezing to death like popsicles!

Mr. Guo couldn't help himself, his face turned ashen. He muttered to himself, "No, no!"

Li La Er sneered in his heart and urged, "Continue."

Then, the old woman began to recount how she’d slipped into the yard to poison him.

Li Laosi then went on to talk about using a tongue to ask questions, going into the cellar first to save the child. “I went down into the cellar and lit a fire. The first thing I saw was four children huddled together, frozen to death for a long time, their bodies blue-black. Gou Sheng was also feverish, so I carried him up first.”

Liu Biao, the leader of the escort, stepped forward. “The bandits in the main room were the leaders, and they weren’t poisoned. When they came out and saw us, they attacked. I, Lao Si, Jia Yi, Liu Yang, even Uncle Wu San fought with our lives to kill them. We thought no one else was left inside, but Jia Yi and Liu Yang went into the next room and found four women, all alive.”

He paused, looking at Mr. Guo, his eyes complex.

Mr. Guo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if something was telling him he shouldn't listen any longer.

But Guo Qing thought she had caught him, and shouted, "It must be my sisters-in-law They are all alive Then where are they, were they killed by you!"

Liu Biaotou shook his head and said word by word, “They are alive, but they have no clothes to cover their bodies. They have been raped day and night by bandits for many days, and their minds are already muddled. Seeing us, they thought we were also bandits, so they kept kowtowing and begging us. They offered their bodies, but they wanted us to spare the few children who had already frozen to death!”

Naked and humiliated for many days

Mr. Guo's head seemed to have exploded, the explosion causing him to roll his eyes and faint!

Guo Qing was terrified and quickly helped the old man up, shouting, "Where's the doctor Hurry and save him!"

Unfortunately, Old Doctor Zhang was still sitting and drinking tea, not willing to move at all.

"I'm a doctor, but I only save people, not ingrates!"

Jia Yin was so delighted that she wanted to clap for the old man. He spoke so well!

Although Mr. Guo did not blame anyone just now, he suspected everyone of killing his grandchildren and children.

It's heartbreaking!

At this point, it wouldn't be wrong to laugh at him and not show any sympathy. Who would even care about his life or death

After all, Liu Laoye still had a bit of sympathy in his heart. He reached out and pinched the old man's acupoint on his chin.

Mr. Guo slowly woke up, tears streaming down his face like a fountain. "Impossible, impossible... This can't be..."

Liu Biao didn't stop, continuing, "As men, we couldn't approach them, so it was Jiao who calmed them down and brought the frozen child into the house. We were busy dealing with the bandits' bodies when suddenly we noticed the door closed. We knocked, but those women had already hanged themselves!"

Gu Qing heard this, and his expression actually showed a few points of joy. It seemed that even Mr. Guo had let out a breath of relief.

Mr. Liu watched silently for a moment, then completely retreated to the side.

Here are three updates, the wind outside my window is at least level 9, so scary, it even cut off the internet. Finally, I caught up with the update, please urge more updates and give five-star reviews, all kinds of requests, thank you babies! Prince for your care!"The elders were overjoyed, thanking them one after another, and then went to the side hall under the envious glances of the young officials.In the distance, Liu Zhiheng watched...
