Upon hearing Li Tian's words, the village chief's pupils dilated in shock.

He pulled his granddaughter behind him, his voice trembling, "Tiantian, what did you say?"

Li Tian cried and trembled all over as he recounted what had happened in fits and starts.

"Grandpa, he... he wanted to take my clothes off..."

Everyone was even more shocked, and the village chief was so angry he almost fainted.

Yun Shengsheng pursed her lips. She had learned about this old pervert's affair from the little dumpling.

It turns out that Li Tian lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried. He has been living with his grandparents ever since.

Although her grandparents love her dearly, there are times when they can't take care of her.

Not long after Zhu Sanjiang returned to the village, he discovered that Li Tian looked seven or eight parts like her great-grandmother, Xia.

At first, he only doted on Li Tian as if she were his granddaughter, you could say it was love for her because of him. But as Li Tian grew up and became a beautiful young woman, his feelings changed.

The way he looked at Li Tian became increasingly strange, and he would occasionally use various excuses to wander around the village chief's house, deliberately choosing times when no one was around to get close to Li Tian.

Although Li Tian is young, he is very perceptive.

At first, she thought her great-great-grandfather was really good to her, giving her money and candy, but later she gradually realized something was wrong.

This great-great-grandfather actually started to touch her inappropriately, and the look in his eyes held a kind of disgust that she couldn't describe.

She wanted to tell others, but she didn't dare.

Because everyone in the village said that my great-grandfather was a good person.

She was afraid that even if she told the truth, no one would believe her.

So the girl tried to avoid him as much as possible, but last time he cornered her and almost ripped her clothes off.

This terrified the little girl.

Even today, when she sees everyone saying that her great-great-grandfather is a bad person and that they want to arrest him and send him to the authorities, she feels both scared and relieved.

She thought that once this bad guy was caught, she would never have to hide from him again.

But after waiting and waiting, the officials said that my great-grandfather was innocent and they would not arrest him.

She was both panicked and scared.

Someone whispered in her ear, "If you don't arrest him, he'll keep bullying you." In a moment of impulsiveness, she rushed out.

The village chief could no longer tolerate it. "You old beast, I'll beat you to death!"

He was about to step forward and hit Zhu Sanjiang.

The officials quickly stopped him.

Zhu Sanjiang sneered, completely unfazed: "Village chief, you've lived to a ripe old age, and you actually believe a little girl's words!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Tian again: "Little girl, your great-grandfather has been so good to you, how could you lie!"

Li Tian shuddered and shrank back in fright.

The village chief was heartbroken and cursed, "You old beast, I'm going to beat you to death today! Don't stop me!"

Most of the villagers are still simple and kind-hearted. Seeing Zhu Sanjiang's nonchalant attitude, they became angry too.

Especially the elderly, they still remember how tragically Xia died back then.

I don't know who it was, but they started pointing their fingers at Zhu Sanjiang and cursing him, together with the village chief.

Then someone threw a stone first, and I don't know who it was.

Then, stones, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves rained down on Zhu Sanjiang.

Zhu Sanjiang's kind face was instantly bruised and battered, his clothes covered in egg yolk and rotten leaves, and he smelled terrible.

But this old man is really a ruthless character.

He gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grimace, but he remained completely silent.

Anyway, since you don't have concrete evidence, there's nothing you can do about it.

Yun Shengsheng had already guessed his thoughts, so she quietly went around behind Zhu Sanjiang and took advantage of the chaos to sprinkle some medicine powder on him.

Although the powder cannot make someone tell the truth, it can make a person irritable. When emotions are pushed to the extreme, they may say or do something.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Zhu Sanjiang couldn't hold back any longer.

He was furious when another rotten egg hit him in the face.

He suddenly lunged at the old man who was cursing the loudest in the crowd, grabbing the man's neck tightly with both hands.

He screamed hysterically, "Go to hell! Go to hell! If you dare curse me again, I'll kill you!"

"So what if I killed someone? They were all people who deserved to die!"

"They deserve it! They deserve it!"

His eyes were bloodshot, like a mad beast, and the words he uttered became increasingly vulgar.

"That vile woman, Xia! What do I have that makes me unworthy of her!"

"She dared to defy me, she deserves to die!"

"And that little bitch Li Tian! She eats my food and uses my things, and she still dares to betray me..."

Hearing these hysterical shouts and curses, everyone clenched their fists in anger.

Someone shouted, "Kill him!"

Then a group of people rushed forward unarmed, surrounded Zhu Sanjiang, and rained down punches and kicks on him.

The old man who had been choked was also pulled and dragged out of the water. He sat on the ground, panting heavily, with bruises all over his neck.

Three constables tried to squeeze in to pull people away, but they were jostled around by the crowd, their hats even falling off. It took them a long time to finally push people aside.

When everyone dispersed, Zhu Sanjiang had been beaten to the point of barely clinging to life, curled up on the ground like an old, dead dog.

Now we don't need any evidence at all.

Zhu Sanjiang confessed everything, both what he should and shouldn't have said, in front of the entire village.

Without saying a word, the officials put him in shackles and dragged him back to the county office.

The villagers were still not satisfied, and surprisingly, they followed the officials to the county town in a large group.

People from several neighboring villages came out to see what was going on, and when they found out what had happened, they were all so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

The news spread like wildfire, and within a few days, the entire county knew that there was a serial killer in Zhujia Village with at least ten lives on his hands.

The magistrate became increasingly alarmed as he investigated, discovering that Zhu Sanjiang had lived in several counties and that many people had died at his hands.

Finally, they joined forces with the magistrates of several other counties to investigate the case, which brought up all of Zhu Sanjiang's previous cases.

Then several counties simultaneously reported the case, which was approved by the Ministry of Justice, and Zhu Sanjiang was sentenced to be executed in the autumn...

The villagers, however, were not happy. Because of Zhu Sanjiang, their village's reputation had been ruined. Who would dare to marry into their village, and who would dare to marry a girl from their village?

Fortunately, Yun Shengsheng and the others left a large sum of money for the village chief's lodging, which was some consolation.

Li Tian also secretly approached Yun Shengsheng and gave her a simple purse.

"Thank you!"

Although no specific thanks were given, the two girls understood.

Yun Shengsheng smiled and accepted the gift: "Live a good life from now on!"

Li Tian nodded.

After the road was repaired, Yun Shengsheng and his group continued their journey. However, to their surprise, Zhu Xiaowang started to rely on them.

Yan Shijin looked at Yun Shengsheng with confusion: "Shengsheng, are you really planning to bring him along...?"

Yun Shengsheng nodded: "Yes, Brother Shi Jin, don't be fooled by his act, he's just pretending!"

"He's actually a talented person!"
