After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 758 Compensation for a Piece of Land [3]

Old Man Pan has white hair and beard. He is older than the deceased Wu Lichang, and his great-grandson is old enough to start school.

Almost all literate people in this town, such as the head of the neighborhood, village chief, Miao scribes, etc., were taught by him... There was no other way, the literary style was not popular, and he was the only student in the whole town. Who else could they learn from if not him?
But he has always been aloof and self-respecting. Seeing that the Qin family did not send any gifts to pay him a visit, he has been sulking for the past three years and has not had any contact with the Qin family.

This year, because the Qin family came to live in the town but did not go to pay him New Year's greetings, and his children and grandchildren wanted to go to pay New Year's greetings to the Qin family, there was a quarrel at home, and he became sick with anger!
But at least he never brought any harm to the Qin family.

Compared to Wu Lizhang and others, Pan Laotongsheng has no major problems except that he looks down on everyone.

Therefore, although the people in the town were all talking about him behind his back, when they saw him, they all bowed and said, "Greetings to Mr. Pan."

"Hmph, a bunch of peasants who have no ambition!" Old Man Pan still had a bad face towards everyone.

Damn old man, I really want to put him in a sack and beat him up.

His children and grandchildren bowed and apologized to the villagers on his behalf.

Old student Pan said to the clerk, "More than 30 years ago, a disabled man moved here to Denglongguo Mountain, further inside Caojiatun. He must be over 60 years old. He reported it at the time, saying that he was beaten and disabled because of fortune-telling, so he had to settle here. Why don't we check him out?"

Village Chief Cao's face turned pale with fear again, and he hurriedly came out to distance himself from the matter: "The Lantern Fruit Mountain further inside Caojiatun is public property, and is not under the jurisdiction of Caojiatun. The wild man's household registration is not in Caojiatun, he just borrowed the land to live temporarily. More than 30 years ago, my father was not even the village chief!"

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Qi, lead the troops to the Lantern Fruit Mountain in Caojiatun immediately and make sure to catch that man, lest he is a spy who has escaped!" The clerk ordered, and pointed at Kong Hu and said, "If that man is a spy who has escaped, your husband's village and your mother's village will not be well off, and your son will also be imprisoned!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in Kongjia Village trembled, including Mrs. Kong Hu.

If she offended the Qin family, she could still say it was a quarrel among fellow villagers, but if she was involved with the spies, then given the selfishness of Chief Kong, he would definitely expel her family from the clan. Then what would happen to Junrong? !
"No, I have nothing to do with that old man. I'm not looking for him!" Kong Hu cried.

Unfortunately, her panic and eagerness to distance herself from the truth were self-incriminating.

Xiao Tao Xiaoqi immediately led the soldiers to Caojiatun, and Village Chief Cao and his wife hurriedly followed.

In order to avoid being implicated, Village Chief Kong immediately gathered the Kong family members to search the mountain and capture people.

Miao Shuli reminded Miao Lichang: "This is a rare opportunity, hurry up and bring your children to help."

Village chief Miao hurriedly took his children to help.

Needless to say, the Lu family had already rushed to Caojiatun with his children.

Things went smoothly and the old man was brought in in the afternoon.

The old man was very cooperative and admitted it directly. He also told a gossip: "I did it. Anyway, I am dying, so I am not afraid of being arrested and imprisoned by the government. Besides, I can sleep with a woman before I die. It's worth it!"

Everyone looked at Kong Hushi.

"Oh my god, did Kong Hu exchange herself for this old man to help with this ritual?!"

"It's unfortunate for the Kong family to have married such a whore, which has brought shame to the ancestors of the Kong family!" The women in Kongjia Village cried and rushed forward to tear Kong Hu to pieces, but were stopped by the soldiers.

As for Officer Kong's mother, brother's family, and cousins-in-law, they all hid in the crowd and dared not show their heads.

If you show up at this time, won’t you be beaten up by the Kong family? Chief Kong looked at the dirty and disabled old man and almost vomited. He asked Kong Hushi: "Why? Kong Hushi, why are you doing this? Although your family's life is not as good as before, as long as you behave yourself, you can still live. Why do you want to ruin yourself like this?!"

"Yes, Kong Hu, you are really stupid. You always do stupid things. This time you have ruined your own children."

"With a mother like you, your Junrong will never be able to hold his head up high in his life. You've killed him."

Kong Hu was pointed at and scolded by everyone. She lost all her mind and shouted like a madman: "What the hell, Kong Zhenshan has been eaten by bugs. How can we live like this?!"

"He was eaten by bugs. This is a sign of evil. If I don't perform a ritual to change the Qin family's fortune, my son will be eaten by bugs and become a eunuch!"

"Junrong, my son, mother has changed your luck. I have changed it to the Qin family. From now on, the Qin family's good luck, money, property, and nobles will all be yours. You will not be eaten by bugs and become a eunuch. You can also make a fortune quickly and become a rich and powerful master!"

"She confesses! It turns out she really did it!" the onlookers exclaimed.

The people in Kongjia Village looked as pale as death. They wanted to help Kong Hu to deny it, but it was no use.

Kong Rouniang lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes... Kong Zhenshan and Kong Hushi, the stupid parents, had killed her. She could never marry into a good family.

But Kong Rouniang is not desperate yet, she still has a way out, but her status is not as good as that of a good person.

Kong Junrong also blamed Kong Hushi, shouting at her: "You vicious woman, you killed me, can't you just die and not implicate me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. This evil creature had been ruined by the officer Kong and his wife.

Yes, how can a good person be raised from an officer like Kong who takes advantage of his power to extort money and do evil to harm others?

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Qin Xiaomi was too lazy to stay any longer, so she said goodbye to Grandpa Qin and Uncle Qin and prepared to take a bus home.

When Chief Kong saw Qin Xiaomi's car turning around, he immediately rushed over and shouted, "Mr. Qin, please stay. Let's discuss this matter carefully. Don't send the officials to Cheng. Can we? My Kong family really can't have another villager with a criminal case!"

Qin Xiaomi lifted the car curtain and looked over here when she heard that.

Seeing this, Chief Kong was overjoyed. He knew that this was something that could be discussed. He continued, "The witchcraft straw man thing is just a scam. No one in the Qin family was harmed... I beg Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, to be gracious and not let everyone in Kongjia Village suffer. Let's settle it privately?"

If someone from the same clan has a criminal record, it will affect the people in Kongjia Village in finding marriages, finding jobs, doing business, and taking imperial examinations!

As the head of the village, he must help Kongjia Village to privately settle this criminal case that has not yet been brought to a death.

Grandma Qin was also in the car. She had come specially to accompany her granddaughter after hearing the news.

She gently pulled Qin Xiaomi's hand and interceded for the Kong family: "Xiaomi, grandma asked Elder Xun, and Elder Xun said that if our family holds a memorial ceremony, we can get rid of the bad luck. So our family agreed to settle it privately."

"Mrs. Kong Hu is a woman, and Kong Rouniang is still unmarried. There are so many girls in Kong Village... Grandma is not soft-hearted, but she doesn't want the family to be entangled in their evil karma."

Qin Xiaomi was speechless, but she knew what was on her grandmother's mind. Someone had died in a disaster at home, and her eldest grandson had disappeared without a trace... It was not her grandmother's fault. It was because as people live longer, they encounter more things that cannot be changed by human power. They can only pray to gods and do good deeds to seek improvement, thinking, what if it works?
Grandpa Qin also came to persuade: "Xiaomi, let's settle it privately and don't get too involved with them."

Qin Xiaomi agreed and shouted to Chief Kong: "Chief Kong, the Qin family can settle the matter privately with your Kong Village, but it depends on what your Kong Village can use as compensation. And we can only settle the matter privately with Kong Hushi, and the old man must be handed over to the government for punishment. What if he is a hidden spy?!"

The head of the Kong family was as if he had been pardoned, and said happily: "Of course, of course, my Kong family will also send that old man to the authorities for investigation. He dared to use strange and chaotic magic to deceive women's bodies. If he is not severely punished, there will definitely be more cases of deceiving women and girls in the future. Then my Kong family will be helping the tyrant to do evil!"
