Chapter 280: Chapter 279: The Truth

Report to the authorities?

Everyone present was taken aback, only Mrs. Hu had a look of panic, and Wang Sanquan was even more terrified, wanting to flee, but unable to move as the stick flew over and jabbed him, numbing his body.

Wang Dayong was somewhat confused, "Report to the authorities?"

"Yes, your father died unjustly, aren’t you going to report it?" Qin Liuxi said.

Hearing the words "died unjustly," Wang Dayong subconsciously looked towards Mrs. Hu and his own brother, his expression gradually darkening.

"You, you mean dad was..." he was embarrassed to even say it.

Village Chief Wang had died in an ignominious way, which involved dying on a woman’s belly, and it happened in his own firewood shed.

What did Mrs. Hu say? She claimed Village Chief Wang was overcome by passion and dragged her into the firewood shed to do the deed. Perhaps it was the wrong setting, she seemed too excited and died of a stroke shortly after.

While Wang Sanquan was going to the toilet, he heard Mrs. Hu’s scream, and he was the first to rush over and found out about this before calling his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Dying suddenly at such an age and in such a location, after a quick check of their father by Wang Dayong and others, and seeing that even that part of the old man had not receded, they believed her and hastily arranged the funeral.

But now Qin Liuxi says it was an unjust death?

"Nonsense, unjust death!" Village Chief Wang was furious, jumping up and down pointing at Wang Sanquan and Mrs. Hu, cursing loudly: "These two adulterous villains were doing indecent things in the firewood shed and got caught by me. This unfilial son panicked, covered my mouth, preventing me from breathing, and kept it covered until I died. And they had the audacity to tarnish my reputation with a stroke. Nonsense!"

Qin Liuxi’s mouth twitched, but he had already sent the children out before recounting what Village Chief Wang had said.

A stepmother and stepson affair, if word got out, wouldn’t their whole Wang family be spat upon to death?

Wang Dayong’s daughter-in-law wished she could faint right then and there, Wang CuiLian was completely dumbfounded.

They all knew Mrs. Hu was not behaving properly, but this was beyond the pale; she turned out to be a fox that had entered the henhouse and devoured the chickens.

Wang Dayong looked shockingly at Wang Sanquan and demanded, "Is what the Master said true? Did you really, really commit such a sin?"

Wang Sanquan’s eyes flickered, and he staunchly denied: "She’s lying, I didn’t do it, dad died just like that."

Mrs. Hu was just sobbing, extremely frightened. Where could she run now?

No, this wasn’t right, Wang Sanquan was the one who killed the old man, she was just helping to cover it up.

Village Chief Wang, seeing his denial, couldn’t contain his anger and went to strangle him while cursing: "You still dare to deny it, you sinful creature, you smothered your own father to death, you are not human, you sinful barrier."

Wang Sanquan struggled to breathe and hastily begged for mercy.

Qin Liuxi pushed Village Chief Wang’s hand away, ignoring his angry gaze, and said, "I advise you not to deny it to death. The victim is right here. If you say you didn’t do it, he can strangle you to death as a tit for tat."

Wang Sanquan shivered and said, "I didn’t mean it, he wanted to beat me to death, to drown us into the pig cage, I panicked and covered his mouth so he couldn’t speak, who knew he would die?"

He pointed at Mrs. Hu and said, "It was her, she seduced me first, complaining that dad was too old and useless, never gave her any joy."

Qin Liuxi stroked his chin, "What I don’t understand is, why would you choose a firewood shed to fool around? For thrill?"

Crowd: "..."

Why is your focus always so off?

"She just likes it that way," Wang Sanquan said. "It’s not the first time, she likes this kind of drama."

Mrs. Hu holding a mourning hat over her face: "It wasn’t me, it was the third brother who forced me, how could I, a weak woman, resist? The old man was no good to me either, he liked to hit during the act, and the younger one was even more direct, sob sob, my life is so miserable, I might as well be dead."

Wang CuiLian blushed and hid behind her elder sister-in-law.

"Da Yong, tie them up and lock them in the firewood shed for now, stop talking," Ms. Liao said with a flushed face. "Let’s finish dealing with dad’s affairs first."

It’s not that she cared about those two people, but about the living, CuiLian and her two daughters, all girls from the Wang family. Such a scandal getting out would be humiliating, especially since Wang CuiLian was already engaged and about to go through the funeral period soon, which could be affected by this issue.

Wang Dayong was already somewhat distraught.

He understood the gravity of the situation; if it got out, the Wang family would really be in trouble.

Seeing him silent, Wang Sanquan said, "Big brother, I accidentally killed him in a moment of confusion, it wasn’t intentional, please forgive me this once. Dad, I was wrong, please forgive me? I’m your real son, I’ll burn lots of money and beauties for you, just go in peace, I’ll definitely change. We’ll make it seem like this wench died from grief and illness over you, I’ll leave the Wang family, ensuring nobody knows, okay?"

Mrs. Hu’s eyes sharpened.

Brother Hu, also snapping out of it, said, "Bullshit, you dishonor and force your mother, and you want to push the blame onto my sister? If the Wang family doesn’t explain themselves, I’ll let everyone judge this."

This is extortion.

"Those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those with something to lose. The Hu family doesn’t have any daughters left, huh? So you’re not afraid of shaming your own family’s girls?" Qin Liuxi chuckled lightly. "Your eyes are bloodshot, your eyebrows low over your eyes, mouth narrow and cheeks sharp, your liver fire is strong and you have bad breath, you look like a gambler. What, did you lose big at gambling and are now desperate to extort some money to cover your debts?"

Village Chief Wang wasn’t dumb, upon hearing Qin Liuxi’s words, he immediately understood and refused to be bullied, suddenly lunging forward, poking his fingers towards the eyes: "Thinking of extorting? I’ll kill you first, you bastard."

He found being a ghost had its benefits—especially when it came to messing with people.

Brother Hu, originally arrogant, suddenly felt intense pain in his eyes as if they were poked by something, unable to see and shouted in fear and surprise: "I’m not afraid of people, why would I be afraid of a dead ghost?"

He rushed towards the coffin, trying to overturn it, but Village Chief Wang quickly sat up, kicking and cursing at him while grabbing his hair and biting his face.

"You might not be afraid of ghosts, but this old ghost carries resentful energy, it’s now on you, be careful where you walk, you’re going to be very unlucky. Oh, and your Yintang is dark, you also have a disaster of blood light coming, maybe your debt collectors are on their way—don’t know whether they’ll break your hands or feet," Qin Liuxi said coolly.

Brother Hu shuddered in fear, no longer daring to cause a scene or extort anything, he ran out the door, needing to hide, otherwise if gamblers caught up with him, breaking his hands and feet would be the least of his worries, beheading was what he dreaded most.

Seeing Brother Hu running out, some heads peeked outside. An old man asked, "Dayong, what’s going on? It’s almost dark, if we don’t bury him today it will be difficult."

Wang Dayong looked at Qin Liuxi with pleading eyes: "Master, what should we do about my father’s will?"

Qin Liuxi waved his hand, a gust of energy closed the door, blocking the view from outside and startling those trying to peer in a few steps back.

So fierce, could it really be that the village chief is unwilling to leave?

Village Chief Wang: "?"

It wasn’t me!
