Chapter 369: The Punishment for Lin Laosan’s Family

Translator: Lonelytree 

“Plus, you were the one who told me that we should drug the horse and dig a hole on the road. I remember everything you said clearly. Also, there is a witness that night!”

At this crucial moment, Lin Daniu wasn’t stupid. How could he take the blame for this?

Lin Daniu was speaking the truth. Their conversation back then had been heard clearly by a third party.

Earlier on, she had also stepped out to testify. However, when Lin Erniu was brought over, she had already finished testifying. Therefore, when Lin Erniu heard that there was a witness, his heart skipped a beat. However, he forced himself not to panic as he asked suspiciously, “Witness?Who’s the witness?”

It caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Lin Erniu looked at everyone, who suddenly burst into laughter. It was mocking laughter. He was very puzzled and felt deeply uneasy in his heart. Was his word very funny? Why was everyone laughing?

He didn’t have to ponder for long before someone spoke up, “Erniu, don’t you know? Before you came here, someone had already relayed what you and your big brother said on the haystack on the big stone bridge near the back of the village.”

Lin Erniu was so shocked that he jumped in fright. He suddenly felt very uneasy.

“So, Erniu, we know that you have suggested to your brother to drug the horse and to dig a hole on the road. You can’t refute that.” Someone “kindly” reminded Lin Erniu. However, there was a gloating expression in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lin Erniu clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were popping out. His face was ashen, and his expression was twisted. It was truly unsightly.

He had never expected that their conspiracies from three years ago would be overheard.

It was no wonder that Lin Yiwei had called for a large group of people to arrest them all.

It turned out that someone had told on him.

“Who is it?” Lin Erniu asked through gritted teeth. He wanted to know who the witness was.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xiaoliu, who was standing next to Lin Yiwei.

Following everyone’s gazes, Lin Erniu quickly realized that she was the one who had overheard their conversation.

Lin Erniu was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. He wanted to tear Zhou Xiaoliu apart. His sharp and angry gaze seemed to want to cut Zhou Xiaoliu into a thousand pieces.

He gritted his teeth and asked, “Chang Xing’s wife, did my family or I offend you? How can you make up such a ridiculous lie?”

As expected of a father and son, both of them immediately attacked the Zhou Xiaoliu. Unfortunately, Lin Erniu was too late. If he had come earlier, then, he could have worked with his father to discredit the witness. However, this whole family was selfish. Once they heard that only one of them would take the fall, their immediate thought was to push the blame on the other two to save themselves.

This was the result of self-conceited, self-righteous, and selfish actions.

“Lin Erniu, the truth has been revealed. It doesn’t matter what Changxing’s wife said. You have already confessed to the truth.” Lin Yiwei stood up to protect Zhou Xiaoliu, “If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for having evil thoughts! Back then, we didn’t find any evidence, so you guys could live in peace for three years. Now, it’s time for you to pay the price for what you’ve done!”

At this point, Lin Yiwei was done with them.

Then, Lin Yiwei looked at Lin Sandou and the others and said, “Lin Sandou, you guys should discuss among yourselves who will admit this responsibility. I’ll give you three days. Three days later, I’ll bring my men to arrest that person!”

Was Lin Yiwei giving them three days to escape?

Of course not.

Every village had its own rules, and these rules had to be followed by every villager.

Everyone knew that the criminals had to be monitored. That was Lin Yiwei’s intention. Even if the criminals exited to use the toilet, there would always be someone watching.
