Chapter 220 Falling in love with Duan Ying(2/2)
Su Anlin was surprised: "That village chief."
He thought of the village chief he had just met. He was in his fifties, had average strength, and had a health bar of about 150.
It is difficult to associate such a person with an arsonist.
"Yes, it's him!"
Yang Wenli asked in surprise: "Where did you get this news?"
Duan Ying pointed at the table and explained: "This village is not that big. I only need to ask some local gangsters or ordinary old people, and I will probably know."
"Although what some people say are just hearsay, there are so many people saying it. It is basically true that the so-called unfounded rumors will not come out of nowhere."
"The village chief coveted the Fang family's wealth in the early years, so he took the local gangsters there at night to extort money. Unexpectedly, he was kicked out. Later, the village chief felt resentful and set a fire at night. This is probably what happened."
Yang Wenli said: "But if you put it this way, the brother and sister should seek revenge from the village chief. Why did they kill other people?"
Su Anlin thought for a while and suddenly smiled: "It's very simple, because they don't know who the murderer is, so everyone in this village will die!"
Duan Ying said: "I think so too."
"We will go to the village chief's house immediately and arrest him first."
Yang Wenli stood up as he spoke, preparing to take action.
Su Anlin shook his head: "Wait a minute, now is not a good time to take action."
"Brother Su, what do you mean?"
Yang Wenli was puzzled and could only sit down.
Su Anlin looked at him and explained: "You think, even if we arrest the village chief now, what's the use? It's better for us to release the wind. The village chief kills the people of the Fang family, and then releases the wind, which means that Fang Yuan has been killed by the village chief.
Caught, I think it won’t be long before Fang Yuan’s sister comes looking for her.”
When Yang Wenli heard this, he knew what was going on: "Brother Su, your idea is a good one."
"That's it."
In just half a day, almost everyone in the village knew that Fang Yuan wanted to harm the village chief's family.
It is now said that Fang Yuan was arrested by the village chief.
The reason why Fang Yuan did this was because he learned that the village chief was the culprit behind setting fire to their family!
Knowing this, the villagers said it was retribution.
But that's all.
The village chief is the dominant figure here, and no one dares to provoke him.
In the corner of a teahouse, a woman wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat was listening to the words of the people around her, her brows deep in thought.
"Brother, he was arrested by the village chief Zhou Tong!"
The woman couldn't help but think of her childhood.
Zhou Tong has been the head of this village since she was very young.
However, this village chief has never done anything good. In her memory, after Zhou Tong became the village chief, he bullied men and dominated the market.
Her family was in good condition, but because she disobeyed Zhou Tong, they were suppressed and extorted.
Thinking of this, the woman suddenly realized that maybe it was Zhou Tong who set fire to her house in the middle of the night and killed her whole family.
Now even my brother has been arrested...
The more the woman thought about it, the angrier she became.
After her family died, she and her brother depended on each other.
He was accidentally captured by the Yin Sect, and just like that, he became a member of the Yin Sect.
This time, the Yin Sect finally wanted to track down the people from Heshui County, so the two came over and took the opportunity to take revenge.
At first, they didn't know who started the fire, but it didn't matter.
Because in their opinion, if no one helped put out the fire that night, everyone would die.
Now that we know the real murderer, let's kill the village chief first and rescue my brother.
"Wait until you save someone, then slowly kill others!
"
The woman gradually showed an excited smile.
Reach out your hand.
There was a pool of water in the palm of her hand, and the water flowed down her arm and gradually into her sleeve.
"Death, everyone must die!"

Night falls.
The whole village was very lively.
Thanks to its proximity to Meilan City, this small village is very developed, with constant trade exchanges, and merchants and escort teams often pass by.
Compared to the bustle on the street, in the village chief's backyard, the village chief Zhou Tong was alone in the yard, listening to the reports of his subordinates.
After hearing this, the village chief frowned.
"People outside are saying that Fang Yuan was arrested by me? And they said that I was the one who set the fire? Who spread this news?"
Zhou Tong's face was as gloomy as water.
Yes, it was indeed him who set the fire back then.
However, it has been so many years, who brought it up?
Those brothers who set fires back then, died and fled far away from home. How could it be spread?
The key point is that someone actually said that Fang Yuan was at his home!
Isn't this nonsense?
Although his strength is not high, it does not mean he is stupid.
Faintly, he felt that there was a dark hand behind the scenes, targeting him.
"Master, we don't know either, but that's what people say outside."
The servant didn't know what to say, he lowered his head and didn't dare to move.
Zhou Tong sighed and said, "Go get the incense for me, I'll go to the ancestral hall."
"Uh, yes!"
After a while, Zhou Tong took the incense and came to the ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall, in addition to the spiritual tablets of ancestor Zhou Tong, there are three tablets.
If you look carefully, you will see that the surnames on the three tablets are all Fang!
Zhou Tong closed the door with a bang and knelt on the ground.
"Lao Fang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have set the fire back then. Your son and daughter are back now. Please give them dreams and don't come to me."
Zhou Tong lit incense and bowed respectfully.
At the door, the servant listened to the words inside and shook his head slightly.
He knew that his master was not a good person.
However, perhaps because of his conscience, his master has changed a lot over the years and is no longer the same as before.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of him: "Who?"
Before he finished speaking, the servant was grabbed out by a hand and disappeared into the darkness.
"Aren, what's the sound outside?"
