This time, Village Chief Meng Bai was truly shocked. No matter how he thought, he couldn't understand why Li Zhuangshi would give the Rock Formation Illustration to the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad.
The Rock Formation Illustration was the Southern Mountain Village's greatest reliance.
After Ding Qingshan and the rest's experiments, they indeed harvested more prey than usual. What was Li Zhuangshi's motive for giving the Rock Formation Illustration to the Northern Mountain Village?
For silver?
Impossible, if Li Zhuangshi really had such a deal with the Northern Mountain Village, why would Zhang Yangping expose him?
Furthermore, how did Zhang Yangping and Fang Zhengzhi get together? Furthermore, he even said that he was here to help Fang Zhengzhi prove it, what was going on?
A series of questions caused Village Chief Meng Bai to be unable to understand the relationship between the two.
"Yangping, please explain clearly!" Village Chief Meng Bai received the illustration from Zhang Yangping. Looking at it, his expression changed again. Because, this illustration was real.
Zhang Yangping knew that Village Chief Meng Bai would ask such a question, and had long prepared himself.
Hence, he recounted how Li Zhuangshi had secretly given him the map, and how he had conveniently revealed Fang Zhengzhi's whereabouts, in full detail.
"So, you originally wanted to ambush Fang Zhengzhi?" Village Chief Meng Bai was somewhat in disbelief.
"Yes!" Zhang Yangping nodded, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi beside him, a trace of shame appearing on his face.
Village Chief Meng Bai didn't speak further, only tightly gripping his tobacco pipe. That withered wood-like palm actually began to turn pale from excessive force.
Li Zhuangshi …
Why did you do this?
"His wife … go call Li Zhuangshi and Mrs Li over, oh yes, also call Fang Houde and Mrs Fang over, don't let anyone know!"
After Village Chief Meng Bai gave his instructions, he once again began to gloomily smoke his tobacco pipe, pacing back and forth in the small house. His expression seemed extremely anxious, and he ignored Zhang Yangping and Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi thought that since the village chief had called his parents, then there shouldn't be any problems. Hence, he decided to relax, and leaned back comfortably on the chair.
Zhang Yangping was here today to testify, and naturally decided to confront Li Zhuangshi face to face. Hence, he quietly waited for Li Zhuangshi's arrival.
…
Not long after, Fang Houde walked in with his walking stick and Qin Xuelian's support.
Qin Xuelian saw Fang Zhengzhi lying on the chair, then saw Zhang Yangping sitting beside him, and Village Chief Meng Bai pacing back and forth anxiously in the house. She was shocked. Did Zhengzhi get into trouble?
"Chief, Zhengzhi is still young... if he causes any trouble, we are willing to take responsibility for him!" Qin Xuelian shouted.
Village Chief Meng Bai, who was smoking a cigarette, became even more anxious when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Fang, please sit down …"
"Brother Yangping, did my son offend you in some way?" Fang Houde knew Zhang Yangping, so when he saw Zhang Yangping, he asked anxiously.
"So little brother Zhengzhi is your son?" When Zhang Yangping saw Fang Houde, he was similarly shocked. He understood Fang Houde's character. Simple and honest, he would always be at the front of the pack during a hunt. In the past, he was also an expert in the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad. Unfortunately, a few years ago, by the Blue Fire Wolf …
When he thought of the Blue Fire Wolf, Zhang Yangping glanced at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Houde … you gave birth to a good son!"
Very quickly, after Zhang Yangping explained his intentions, he also told them of their original intentions. As for the Blue Fire Wolf, he didn't mention it. After all, he had to deal with it one by one.
Most importantly, in Zhang Yangping's heart, the people of the Southern Mountain Village definitely knew of Fang Zhengzhi's capabilities. Hence, as an outsider, praising Fang Zhengzhi would seem rather unnecessary. Furthermore, it would easily cause people to misunderstand that Fang Zhengzhi was too close to outsiders.
When they heard Zhang Yangping's words, Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian's expressions changed.
"The Li family is trying to harm my son!" Qin Xuelian's entire mind was focused on Fang Zhengzhi. She was the first to react, and her eyes instantly became moist. Her husband had done so much for the Southern Mountain Village, yet he had not received any benefits. Now, her own son had given up the Rock Formation Illustration, yet he had been schemed against!
"Wife Fang, don't speak nonsense. Why would Li Zhuangshi harm his own people? Let's wait for Zhuangshi to come before we discuss this! "Village Chief Meng Bai became even more frustrated when he heard this.
Li Zhuangshi was the future hope of the Southern Mountain Village.
Furthermore, he was the only person in the Southern Mountain Village who was personally praised by the Divine Constabulary's General Li. As long as he passed the Law of Dao examinations, he had a high chance of entering the Divine Constabulary.
Colluding with outsiders to harm Fang Zhengzhi?
If other villagers found out about this, it would be a different story!
…
After a quarter of an hour, Li Zhuangshi and Mrs Li finally walked in one after the other.
Mrs Li's face was filled with dissatisfaction. Li Zhuangshi was still in the Hall of Dao, but he was called out. Yet, he was called out by someone. If this delayed his studies, who could bear the responsibility?
Just as she was about to berate them, she saw the yellow drawing in Zhang Yangping and Village Chief Meng Bai's hands, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi's family of three. Mrs Li's expression changed instantly.
"Village Chief, we are doing this for the sake of the future peace between the two villages. Think about it … if we continue to fight like this, the Southern Mountain Village will definitely be at a disadvantage in the long run!"
"Shut up!" When Li Zhuangshi heard Mrs Li's words, the originally calm expression on his face completely changed. He could naturally tell that the truth had been exposed.
But, as long as he refused to admit it, what could the Southern Mountain Village people do to him?
Now, Mrs Li's words had directly caused him to fall into a passive position.
"You guys really … sigh …" Village Chief Meng Bai had already understood when he saw the drawing. Now that he heard Li Zhuangshi and Mrs Li's words, he could naturally confirm it.
He heaved a heavy sigh, but in his heart, he began to rapidly calculate how to deal with this matter.
If he followed the normal method, he would definitely report this matter to the entire village, then, publicly deal with Li Zhuangshi. The result would probably be chasing Li Zhuangshi out of the Southern Mountain Village …
But, could they really chase Li Zhuangshi out of the Southern Mountain Village?
Li Zhuangshi was the hope of the Southern Mountain Village, and was even chosen by the Divine Constabulary's General Li!
Village Chief Meng Bai completely didn't know what to do.
On one side, there was hope, on the other side, there was reason …
Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian naturally heard Mrs Li's words clearly. Fang Houde could temporarily endure and wait for Village Chief Meng Bai to deal with it.
But Qin Xuelian couldn't endure it.
Fang Zhengzhi was her flesh and blood. Mrs Li's words could deceive others, but to deceive her? How could she deceive her? Furthermore, Zhang Yangping had also said that Li Zhuangshi had reported Fang Zhengzhi's whereabouts to Zhang Yangping and the rest.
His motive was too obvious.
"Li Zhuangshi, you purposely gave the Northern Mountain Village the drawing, then reported Zhengzhi's whereabouts. Clearly, you want to harm Zhengzhi. I will definitely not tolerate this matter, I must report it to the entire village, and let the entire village seek justice for our Fang family!" Qin Xuelian's tone didn't contain the slightest hint of compromise.
