A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Village Chief Li spoke seriously, fearing that these people would not take his words seriously and would not take them to heart.

None of the villagers are stupid; they know what they can and cannot do.

He quickly nodded to show that he understood.

Su Yunhai took the two survivors aside and interrogated them for their confessions.

His face was full of fat, his expression was stern, and his eyes drooped, giving the impression of a fierce and menacing demon.

"Who are you?"

Why target ordinary people like us?

"What exactly is your purpose? Tell me the truth!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The two soldiers were already terrified by the mysterious hidden weapon in the man's hand.

He answered every question without hesitation, never daring to act like a high-ranking official.

"Don't kill us!"

"We really are officers and soldiers from the county government!"

"It was Wang Kui from Baishi Village who gave us the information, saying that a large group of troublemakers wanted to bypass Qingyun City and head south from the mountains."

"They also said you brought a lot of food and money, so we brothers got greedy and wanted to rob you."

"Knowing that there are many of you, to be on the safe side, we have no choice but to drug you..."

"We really only wanted some food and money, we had no other intentions, please let us go! We really know we were wrong!"

One of the officers quickly said.

Su Yunhai could sense that what this person said was seven parts true and three parts false.

He took out his broadsword and stabbed it into the man's palm without hesitation, almost severing his hand.

"You dare to deceive me! Don't think I didn't see that you intended to kill us!"

"Ahhh!"

The soldier screamed in excruciating pain, the veins on his face and neck bulging as if they were about to burst.

He gripped his injured hand tightly, fearing it would be cut off if he tried to move it.

The other soldier never expected the person in front of him to be so ruthless.

They resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, leaving them no room to maneuver.

He knew he was doomed this time; these people would definitely not let him go.

To avoid physical pain, he simply exposed himself completely.

"I said, I said everything!"

"We do plan to kill you all to silence you, but we only intend to kill the useless old, weak, women and children."

“We will take the young and strong men, as well as the young girls and wives, back to the county government and lock them up.”

Without him needing to say anything more, Su Yunhai knew what their intentions were.

It was nothing more than either being drafted into the military or being sent to the most arduous places to perform forced labor.

The fate of women is self-evident.

There were many other people listening to Su Yunhai's interrogation.

Li Village Chief's sons, the Shen family, and villagers who couldn't sleep and wanted to know the answer all gathered nearby.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

They never expected that these soldiers were actually provoked by the Wang family!

Obvious.

The Wang family wants the lives of hundreds of them!

"Wang Kui is truly vicious!" Shen Yuehua's elder brother, Shen Yuehui, was the first to lose his temper and shouted curses.

"If we had known they were so shameless, we shouldn't have notified them!"

"Yes, Wang Kui really went too far! He actually retaliated against us like this!"

"If I ever run into them, I'll kill them all to vent my anger!"

Suddenly, several discordant voices rang out.

"If your Su family hadn't provoked the Wang family, the Wang family wouldn't have harmed us. In the end, it was your Su family that caused this trouble!"

"That's right, we're completely innocent! You beat up the Wang family in front of so many people, of course they're going to retaliate!"

"Waaaaah, we were almost killed by your Su family! You have to compensate us!"

Everyone looked at these people.

Su Yunhai's cold gaze swept over the group of people.

These people were the survivors from the families at the entrance of Peach Blossom Village when the bandits stormed in.

These people didn't get a share when the spoils were distributed in the village, and perhaps they held a grudge then.

If most of the villagers hadn't fled the famine, they wouldn't have dared to stay in the village, and probably wouldn't have fled with them.

this time.

They faced death up close once again and were terrified.

Without hesitation, they stepped forward to implicate the Su family.

If the Su family hadn't offended the Wang family, why would the Wang family have retaliated against them as well?

Who knows how the Wang family will retaliate against them in the future?

They don't want to face the threat of death again!

The speaker is intentional and the listener is intentional.

Some villagers who heard these divisive remarks felt that what they said made sense.

These officers and soldiers were indeed provoked by the Su family.

They were also worried that if the Wang family's first plan failed, they would come up with another.

What if they're unlucky one time and get dragged down and die without a burial place?

Who can they turn to for justice?

These people were so gripped by the fear of death that they were no longer able to think rationally.

At this moment, all I want to do is get away from the source of danger.

Su Yunhai coldly glanced at the troublemakers, mercilessly exposing their ulterior motives.

"Ha, do you think you can sow discord like this?"

"If I hadn't notified the villagers in time and taken the lead in eliminating all the bandits, would your families still be alive? The entire village might have been slaughtered by the bandits, and you would still have the chance to make baseless accusations here?"

"As for me offending the Wang family? It was clearly the Wang family that provoked us first, trying to humiliate our Peach Blossom Village, so I retaliated."

"Do you think my Su family is a pushover that you can bully? Don't think I don't know you're just looking for an excuse to rob me because you see how much supplies my Su family brought!"

"If you truly believe that following my Su family will endanger your lives, then you may choose to leave. If that's not possible, our Su family can also travel alone without traveling with the village!"

Seeing that the villagers had differing opinions, Li Rui quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Dahai, don't be angry. We all know what they're thinking. Anyone with a brain wouldn't listen to their nonsense."

“Your Su family has saved our entire village time and time again. We are grateful beyond words. We are all people who can distinguish right from wrong, and we would never be ungrateful and make you feel cold.”

"The road to escape famine is still long, and we must support each other to go further. Don't take these people's words to heart."

Most villagers felt that this matter had nothing to do with the Su family.

They immediately stepped forward to express their stance.

"Scholar Su, let's not bother with these brainless fools. They're always trying to take advantage of us. We should stay away from them in the future."

"Yes, we have to be wary of these people. They're so good at labeling others; they might be plotting against us behind our backs at any time."

"I think we should kick these families out as soon as possible. What kind of time is this to be causing trouble? They really don't understand the situation."

"Yes, it'll be peaceful once we kick them out!"
