With so many people working together at the time, it was impossible to tell who did it, or it could be that he was killed accidentally.

But no matter how his grandson died, he died in Xinghua Village. No matter whether the people of Xinghua Village admit it or not, there is no way to deny it.

He had originally thought that he could gain some benefits from his grandson's death, so that the people of Xinghua Village and the other six villages would be willing to give up their food. He would also be able to successfully get close to the second lady of the prime minister's mansion, or even the god of war of the Great Zhou, King Chen.

But the food in Xinghua Village was obtained, so who would have thought that another Cheng Yaojin would appear.

But he thought the other person was just a girl and didn't take it seriously at first. But it seemed he was wrong. Everyone in Xinghua Village listened to the girl very much, including Village Chief Li.

This made him wonder, how could the head of a village listen to a girl? There must be something fishy about this, which also showed that the girl had an unusual identity, or that the girl had someone to rely on in Xinghua Village.

As far as he knew, there was only one girl in Xinghua Village who had this ability, and that was Li Mengyue mentioned by Master Liu.

Yes, that’s right, it’s Li Mengyue.

He could understand this. Only Li Mengyue dared to scold him loudly, which would make the villagers of the seven villages obey and stop the grain.

In fact, he had heard from others that Li Mengyue was the biological daughter of Li An and his wife in Xinghua Village, and that she was switched.

But no one knows what Li Mengyue’s previous identity was or where she came from?

He had not thought about this issue carefully before coming to Xinghua Village.

However, he had a vague guess from Mr. Liu's attitude, but he didn't dare to believe it easily, fearing that his guess would come true.

But so what? It's just a phoenix with its feathers plucked, not even as good as a chicken.

When they arrived in Qingshan Town, it was not Li Mengyue who had the final say, but Zhu Lei who could do whatever he wanted.

She is just a girl who has lost her innocence. What's so scary about that? He was not wrong. Li Mengyue is just a second-hand product that has been used by someone.

If the girl had any shame, she would have been hung up by the rope long ago. How could she still have the nerve to show off in front of him?

Thinking of this, Zhu Lei became more confident and shouted, "Why are you all standing there like idiots? What the village chief said is useless. Just move the food. We still have to go to Lianhua Village, Taohua Village and the other six villages. We don't have time to waste here."

The people of Zhulin Village have always followed Zhu Lei's lead. They listen to whatever Zhu Lei says without any objection.

Just like now, Zhu Lei asked them to continue moving the food, and they ignored the obstruction and carried the food forward.

People from Xinghua Village and the other six villages stood in front to block the way and refused to move an inch.

Before Li Mengyue came back, they still had concerns.

After all, no matter whether it was their fault or not, someone had died in the village. To a certain extent, they were still a little afraid in their hearts.

But it’s different with Li Mengyue. You know, these grains are sold to the villagers by Li Mengyue at low prices. This is because Li Mengyue cares about the villagers, and they can’t take it lightly.

Besides, if there was no Li Mengyue, they would not have the good life they have now. They didn't know when they had regarded Li Mengyue as their backbone.

It's not just Xinghua Village, but the other six villages as well. As long as Li Mengyue says something, they will carry it out without compromise.

Just like now, Li Mengyue asked them to stop the food, they would do their best to stop it no matter what happened or whether there were lives lost.

"Little bitch, I know your name is Li Mengyue. It doesn't matter if you offend me, Zhu Lei, but you dare not take Master Liu seriously, the Second Miss of the Xiangfu, and Prince Chen seriously."

Zhu Lei said as he walked up to Liu Quan with an arrogant look on his face.

"Master Liu, please say something. This little girl dares to go against you. She must want to die."

Li Mengyue also turned her gaze to Liu Quan. Without saying anything, one look made Liu Quan terrified.

"Snapped!"

"Master Liu, why are you hitting me? Shouldn't you hit the little bitch Li Mengyue?"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Liu Quan slapped Zhu Lei on the face again, once on each side.

"Get lost, what are you talking about? How dare you speak to the young lady like that? If you want to die, don't drag me into this."

After beating Zhu Lei, he hurriedly walked to Li Mengyue and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Bang bang bang!"

He kowtowed three times to Li Mengyue.

"Miss, it was not my idea to come to Xinghua Village to get food. It was all Zhu Lei's idea. Yes, it was all Zhu Lei's idea. If you are angry, take it out on Zhu Lei. This is none of my business."

After Liu Quan finished speaking, he continued to kowtow, each time very hard, and soon blood came out of his forehead.

Liu Quanlai's move not only confused Zhu Lei, but also the villagers from the eight villages showed bewildered expressions, and Li Mengyue was also confused.

She didn't know that the two people who were on opposite sides of the previous minute had such a big change. He ran to him to shirk the responsibility and even knocked his head until it was bleeding in order to seek her forgiveness.

While everyone present was confused, Liu Quan, who was kowtowing vigorously, had a clear mind.

He remembered, really remembered, who the man next to Li Mengyue was. It was the King Chen, whom he used to scare the villagers.

He could be sure that it was Prince Chen and there was no way he would be wrong.

And the moment he recognized Prince Chen, he knew he was in big trouble.

Who is Prince Chen? He is the third prince most favored by the current emperor, the son of the queen, and the true legitimate son of the empress.

He heard that if the eldest prince and the second prince's maternal families had not been too powerful, Prince Chen would have been the crown prince long ago.

But what did he do before? He said that his second daughter is the future princess of Prince Chen.

The villagers present didn't know that he was lying, but he knew it clearly in his heart.

It was just that he had met the second young lady by chance and had been to Prince Chen's Mansion once. He had not even entered the mansion, but just stood at the door.

He was in Xinghua Village, and in order to get the food smoothly without any setbacks, he made up a sentence.

Unexpectedly, these villagers believed what he said and really thought that his second daughter had been betrothed to Prince Chen and would be a legitimate princess in the future.

These villagers have basically lived in Qingshan Town all their lives. The farthest place they have been to is the county, and the highest official they have seen is the county magistrate. They have never seen any princes or nobles.

He just mentioned the Prince of Chen, who would be the second young lady's husband in the future, and the villagers were stunned.

They were asked to hand over grain, and they dared not say a word of rebuttal, for fear of incurring revenge from the Second Miss and Prince Chen.

Looking at the people of Zhulin Village carrying out bags of grain, he felt very proud and thought that he was very smart. He could think of mentioning the name of King Chen, so that these villagers would have to hand over the grain even if they were unwilling.
