Chapter 162 The Young Master's Last Wish 3
Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the house, blowing away the windows and the tiles on the roof. Some of them hit the villagers on the head, leaving them bleeding.
The team leader and the village party secretary hid under the table and dared not show their heads. The strong wind blew for about three or four minutes before it stopped. Chang'an and Gu Laoliu left with big laughs.
Chang'an thought about those people who had just said they wanted to dig up the Gu family's graves. She had never dug up anyone's ancestral graves before, so why not give it a try?
Others can disregard morality, so why should she stick to this bottom line? Isn't morality determined by the individual?
Let her deduct their merits. She has dug up the ancestral graves of those people, and they cannot teach their descendants well. Do they deserve to lie in those graves?
Those people had the idea of digging up the Gu family's graves. Who knows, one day they might really dig up the Gu family's graves. It would be better to strike first.
"Dad, can you find the ancestral graves of those people?"
"What are you going to do? Let me make it clear first, your father has no merits to deduct, and I still owe debts," Gu Laoliu looked at Chang'an with some vigilance.
"Don't worry, I have it. You look for it and I dig it out. I won't deduct it from you."
"Is it necessary to dig? How about digging a few to scare them? If you dig too much, I'm afraid you won't have enough merit to deduct."
"Okay, the team leader, the village party secretary's family, and those who just said they wanted to dig up the Gu family's graves."
"Then let the freshmen and senior high school students do it."
"Okay," Chang'an distributed some of her merits to the freshmen and seniors. If merits were to be deducted for this matter, her merits could be used to offset some of it.
Freshmen and senior high school students want to refuse, but they have done good deeds now and it should be enough to deduct the money.
But Chang'an did not give them a chance to refuse, "Go quickly, dig them out tonight and put them in those people's homes."
At the brigade headquarters, due to the situation caused by Changan and Gu Laoliu, they could no longer hold the meeting and had to disperse and go home.
The team leader and the village party secretary always felt uneasy, but they didn't expect to go to the ancestral grave. They overestimated Chang'an's moral bottom line.
At dawn the next day, screams of terror were heard one after another in the village. Everyone heard the voices coming from the captain's home and the party secretary's home, and there were also a few voices coming from within the village.
The villagers were frightened by the screams early in the morning. They didn't even have time to make breakfast and all ran to the team leader and the branch secretary's homes. There were so many melons that they had to eat them from every household.
When the captain saw the white bones and broken coffin boards in the yard, he fell to the ground with a pale face and purple lips.
The situation at the village party secretary's house was the same as his, and it was the same at several other families as well. Some people had already fainted from fright.
The crowd: Hiss~
Yesterday you said you were going to dig up the Gu family’s graves, but look at you now, they have invited your ancestors up to have breakfast first.
The villagers immediately split into two groups: one group was those who had a clear conscience towards the Gu family, and the other group was those who had framed the Gu family and taken advantage of their misfortune.
Those with a clear conscience stood by and watched the show, while those who had done something wrong hugged each other and trembled in fear.
The captain stood up tremblingly and shouted angrily, "This is too much, too much."
"Find a fortune teller and ask her to take them in, otherwise there will be no peace in Xinghua Village."
Some people ran out of the crowd in fear and went to Shen's house to find Grandma Shen.
Seeing this, Fang Bo glanced at Bai Qiu, who nodded and silently followed the man. Fang Bo patted his eldest son's hand again. Fang Qingshan immediately understood what his father meant and ran out of the village. He was going to report it.
Some people in Xinghua Village spread feudal superstition in an attempt to confuse the working people.
If Grandma Shen hadn't intervened in this matter, she would have been fine. If she had not listened to Bai Qiu and insisted on intervening, she should have been able to catch the perpetrators in the act.
Chang'an dug up their ancestral graves, which touched the moral bottom line. Grandma Shen might really intervene.
Grandma Shen did feel that Chang'an and the others had gone too far. "Digging up people's ancestral graves is detrimental to one's virtue. They are harming others and themselves by doing this."
"Aunt Shen, they are all going to dig up the Gu family's graves, so the Gu family members are not allowed to take the initiative? You'd better not get involved in this matter, otherwise it may bring you disaster."
Bai Qiu has made it very clear. If she insists on intervening, it will be her disaster. Qingshan should have reported it.
Just when Grandma Shen decided to meet the ghosts of the Gu family, Shen Wei came out and held her back, "Grandma, don't go." She thought of the voice she heard on the road yesterday, which must have been that of the little girl from the Gu family.
She didn't think her grandmother could deal with a ghost that could appear under the sun in broad daylight. She was afraid she would get hurt. Besides, how many people in the village were worth her help?
What if her grandmother helps them, but they turn around and report her for spreading feudal superstition? Wouldn’t they be so angry that they die?
Grandma Shen was held back by her granddaughter and did not go to the captain's house. Everyone waited for a long time but did not see Grandma Shen, but did see the red armband.
"We received reports from the public that some people in Xinghua Village were promoting feudal superstition and even digging out the bones of their ancestors to use as props."
They don't ask about the specific circumstances. The bones on the ground are considered evidence. This is their achievement.
Crowd of spectators: The whistleblower is a real talent. He used the ancestors as props? How did he come up with this idea?
The captain's ancestor was still lying in the yard, surrounded by a group of people wearing red armbands. Looking at the scene, it really looked like this.
The leader waved his hand, and someone rushed forward to tie up the captain, then shouted to the crowd, "Who is Zhu Gou Wa?"
The group of onlookers immediately made way for a space, and the short middle-aged man standing there alone was Zhu Gou Wa. He looked panicked and looked around, no longer as calm as he had just been when he went to find the fortune teller.
"It has nothing to do with me," he hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.
The captain thought that it was Zhu Gou Wa who suggested finding a fortune teller and that was why he implicated him, so of course he would not let Zhu Gou Wa stay out of it, "He was with me, and it was he who suggested finding a fortune teller."
As for who reported it? Someone behind the crowd saw Fang Qingshan running out of the village, and guessed roughly in his heart. Everyone knew it tacitly and looked at Fang Bo, the former butler of the Gu family.
Among all the servants of the Gu family, only Fang Bo's family and Bai Qiu are the most loyal. Fang Bo was trained by Old Master Gu. Although he looks amiable, he is actually a shrewd old man.
The Gu family is completely wiped out, and given Fang Bo's personality, he will definitely help them get revenge.
This is indeed the case in the plot. The Gu brothers and sisters are the last bloodline of the Gu family. After they died, Fang Bo and Bai Qiu took advantage of the cover of heavy rain and thunder and used explosives to cause a landslide. More than half of the people in Xinghua Village died and the losses were heavy.
But before that, they persuaded all those who had done nothing wrong to the Gu family to leave, and in the end only the educated youth and eight or nine families were left in Xinghua Village.
Afterwards, Fang Bo and Bai Qiu turned themselves in, and were eventually sentenced to death.
Chang'an didn't understand how they could be so loyal. They hadn't signed a contract to sell themselves, nor were they ancient domestic slaves. They didn't have to do this at all.
Gu Laoliu said slowly: "In order to repay the kindness, they are orphans rescued from the war by Old Master Gu. He provided them with a roof over their heads, provided them with enough food and warm clothes, taught them to read and write, and married them off."
They had no way to repay such a kindness, so they went to extremes.
