Chapter 475 All Dead
Xiao Yunfei had just finished breakfast when he saw Hu Dazhuang walking in in a hurry, talking non-stop.
"Someone's dead. The whole family is dead."
"Who? Who's dead?"
Xiao Yunfei asked with a wooden face and frowned.
Hu Dazhuang said.
"I just heard that the whole Wang family in Kaoshan Village was burned to death in a fire last night. When everyone found out in the morning, the fire had been put out. The house was burned down, and only some bones were left. The whole family was gone. Third brother, do you think they are being punished? God knows the evil things they did and is punishing them?"
Ever since Wang Shouxin was dismissed from his post, he hadn't heard any news about him for a long time. He didn't expect that the next time he heard about him was the news of his death.
Xiao Yunfei felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he looked up and asked.
"What else have you heard?"
"That's all. I just heard about this and came to tell you."
"How come no one noticed such a big fire?"
"Probably not. It is said that they found it when they passed by his house in the morning."
There are too many doubts, I'm afraid the death of Wang Shouxin's family was not an accident.
At this time, Cui Fangzheng came in a hurry and asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Have you all heard about it?"
Seeing them nod, Cui Fangzheng took a deep breath and said.
"I don't know who did it, but it was so cruel. I didn't expect there would be such a cruel person in their Kaoshan Village."
A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yunfei's eyes, and he raised his eyes and asked.
"Do you know anything?"
"My guess is that several families died in a fire on the same night. This must be murder."
Cui Fangzheng spoke with certainty, gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right. Old Wang was too arrogant before and offended too many people. Now that he's gone, there must be a lot of people who want revenge. I guessed that his life wouldn't be good, but I didn't expect the other party to kill him directly."
"You mean several families died?"
"Yes, don't you know? Wang Shouxin's family, Wang Shouxin's son's family, Wang Shouxin's nephew's family, and all the relatives who had committed evil together under Wang Shouxin's protection were burned to death. I heard from people who saw the scene that no one showed any signs of struggle before they died. It can be basically concluded that they were unconscious or dead before they were burned."
Sure enough, there is another hidden secret.
But who is the mastermind behind this?
Cui Fangzheng and Hu Dazhuang had a heated discussion. They felt that Wang Shouxin's family deserved the punishment they received. They came to the conclusion that people should not do immoral things, otherwise they will suffer retribution sooner or later.
Xiao Yunfei listened quietly, and after a moment he collected his thoughts and spoke.
"It's none of our business. We should get back to work. It's almost time. Let's get busy."
Cui Fangzheng and Hu Dazhuang had been gone for less than five minutes when Cui Fangzheng came back and said in a serious tone that the head of Kaoshan Village had come and wanted to see him.
Ever since Wang Shouxin was overthrown by them, the higher-ups gave Kaoshan Village a new headman.
The new village head's surname is Xu. He is a young man in his early twenties. He is humble and polite to others and seems to have no temper.
However, these were all what Xiao Yunfei heard. He and the village head named Xu had never met each other. After Xu took office, the two villages lived in peace and did not interfere with each other.
I just don't know why this person suddenly came here today.
"Brother Yunfei, do you think he heard that you had a feud with the Wang family and suspected that you killed them? Is he here to call for punishment?"
It's really possible.
Xiao Yunfei took a sip of tea and said.
"Go and invite him in."
"Yes."
Cui Fangzheng left quickly and soon brought someone in.
The other person was dressed in plain clothes and had a thin figure, completely different from the image of an armored man in his impression.
Xu Fu stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"I have heard of Brother Xiao's reputation for a long time. Today I finally get to meet him in person. It is true that his reputation is well-deserved. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."
She deliberately came to see him without wearing armor and showed such obvious flattery.
This guy is interesting.
Xiao Yunfei looked at Xu Fu calmly and raised his hand.
"You're welcome. Please take a seat, Xu Lizheng."
Cui Fangzheng said hello and tactfully left the room.
After everyone was seated, Xiao Yunfei got straight to the point.
"Xu Lizheng, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"That's so cool, worthy of you. Boss Xiao, have you heard about what happened in our village last night?"
Xiao Yunfei nodded and waited for the other party to continue.
Xu Fu asked with a slight curl of his lips.
"Do you feel relieved, Boss Xiao?"
This doesn't seem like a test, but more like a request for praise.
Xiao Yunfei narrowed his eyes, looked up and asked.
"Did you kill the person?"
"That's right. That family has done so many evil things that they should have died long ago. It's because you, Boss Xiao, are too kind that they have the chance to live until now. You and sister-in-law are kind and generous, so from now on, leave these dirty things to me. I'm not afraid of dirt."
"Are you going to surrender to me at the cost of their lives?"
"Boss Xiao is really smart. I feel like I've been stripped naked in front of you. Yes, I can see that you are different from others. You are a capable person who can change the world. I want to follow you and take the people of Kaoshan Village with me."
"You think I'd want a murderer?"
"I did kill people, but I only killed those who deserved to be killed, never good people. My knife would only be pointed at the enemy, never at my teammates. I, Xu Fu, am willing to be the most loyal dog by your side."
Xu Fu's eyes were determined and his face was sincere, as if he could really give him everything without reservation.
He is honest and can keep his head down.
Xiao Yunfei asked.
"What are you planning?"
"If I say that I want the big pot meal in your village, will you laugh at me? Will you think that I am a good-for-nothing and shallow?"
"Of course not, my wife cooks so deliciously."
Xiao Yunfei answered as a matter of course and with confidence, with a hint of pride in his tone.
Xu Fu raised the corner of his mouth and said.
"I really don't just want to eat. I hope the people in our village can live a good life like yours. I don't want to see them suffer endlessly."
"You are really a good village chief. You have such deep feelings for them after just arriving here?"
The implication is that no one would believe such nonsense.
Xu Fu knew that lies would be easily exposed, so he lowered his eyes and then told everything.
"Because my parents are criminals like them, they live in darkness. The head of our village is as evil as Wang Shouxin. He and his men take turns to humiliate my mother, beat my father, and bully my sister. He would rather kill them all. I hate this world, the brutal armored men, and the incompetent and greedy officials. I dream of overthrowing them and saving people like me. I don't ask for glory and wealth, but only hope that they can live with dignity like ordinary people."
Xiao Yunfei didn't react after hearing this, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking from his face.
This unpredictable situation made Xu Fu feel uneasy.
"Then how did you become an armored man?"
