Chapter 38

Liu Tianfu did not enter the room. Hearing the man's惨叫声 from inside, he knew that Zhao Bao had not lied. He lit the oil lamp, and the room instantly became bright. He saw that several burly men had already entered the room, and their wooden sticks were raining down on the person on the bed. At first, the惨叫声 were very loud, but after dozens of strikes, the sounds became weaker and weaker, almost inaudible.

Liu Tianfu finally shouted, "Stop hitting him, don't kill him!" At his shout, everyone stopped, but Zhao Bao, looking indignant, struck a few more times with his wooden stick before stopping.

Liu Tianfu held the oil lamp and entered the room. He saw Huahua curled up in the corner of the bed, her clothes disheveled. He frowned and looked at the bed, where the sheets were already stained with blood, clearly indicating that the person on the bed had been severely injured.

Liu Tianfu walked forward and asked Huahua, "Iron's wife, what exactly happened?"

Huahua, terrified and trembling, pointed at the person on the bed and said, "He... he broke into my room and locked the door... He said... he said if I didn't comply, I would have no good days ahead... I didn't comply, so he... he tore my clothes. Fortunately... fortunately, you came in...!"

Zhao Bao said smugly, "I told you, I didn't make a mistake." Pointing at the person on the bed, he said, "Such a beast should be beaten to death." He then said to Liu Tianfu, "Village Head Liu, entering a woman's room at night with the intent to rape is a serious crime. We cannot be lenient. We should tie him up and send him to the county office tomorrow morning, and let the magistrate decide!"

Liu Tianfu frowned and did not speak. Zhao Bao pressed on, "Village Head Liu, you're not going to protect him, are you? I must tell you, the law is the law. If such a scoundrel is not handed over to the authorities, well...!" He did not finish, but his strange laugh was full of threats.

Liu Tianfu gritted his teeth, went forward, and lifted the blanket. The light from the lamp shone on the person, who was covered in blood and motionless, as if dead. Liu Tianfu turned the person over, and a face was revealed.

Seeing the face, Liu Tianfu was first stunned, then showed a strange expression. He turned to Zhao Bao and asked, "Zhao Bao, you said you want to tie him up and send him to the county office?"

Zhao Bao said smugly, "Of course!" In his mind, he was already planning how to get Chu Huan killed once he was in prison.

His plan to use others to kill Chu Huan was carefully laid out, and everything was going according to his plan, filling him with satisfaction.

Liu Tianfu suddenly sneered, "Good, Zhao Bao, you are indeed selfless. Our Liu Village will be grateful!" He said sternly, "Bring the rope, tie up Feng Erdou, and send him to the county office tomorrow morning. Feng Erdou's rape of a woman is clear and witnessed by everyone. There's nothing more to say. Let the magistrate decide!"

Zhao Bao, feeling smug, suddenly heard "Feng Erdou" and was shocked. He felt that things were not going well. He pushed forward, looked at the bed, and his expression changed. He exclaimed, "Sir... Sir, how... how is it you?"

The person on the bed, covered in injuries, was none other than Feng Erdou, the biggest troublemaker in Liu Village.

Zhao Bao was greatly alarmed. The other villagers also saw that it was Feng Erdou and looked at each other, their faces showing excitement.

Shitou already called out, "Bring the rope, tie him up!"

Zhao Bao rushed forward, grabbed Feng Erdou's head, and shouted, "Sir, Sir, wake up, Sir, how are you?" His smugness was gone, replaced by fear.

He could not understand what was happening. According to the plan, the person on the bed should have been Chu Huan, not Feng Erdou.

Feng Erdou was already on the brink of death. He had been severely injured by Chu Huan and then beaten again tonight. His breath was extremely weak. After a while, he opened his eyes slightly, saw Zhao Bao, and his eyes showed resentment. He said weakly, "Go... go... find... find my... my father...!" Then he fainted.

Zhao Bao knew things were not good. He was terrified, as this was his plan, but it had backfired, leaving him both frightened and angry. He stood up and pointed at Huahua, shouting, "You... you bitch, what is going on?"

Liu Tianfu, as the village head, had both authority and intelligence. When Zhao Bao asked this, Liu Tianfu knew there was something fishy about the whole situation.

However, he could not understand how things had turned out this way. He stared at Zhao Bao and said slowly, "Zhao Bao, will you go to the county office tomorrow as a witness?"

Zhao Bao, feeling as if he wanted to die, shouted, "You... you dare to tie up Sir Feng? Do you want to live?"

As he spoke, a voice came from outside, "Who doesn't want to live? Feng Erdou's rape of a woman is a serious crime, even if the case goes to the capital!" Chu Huan entered the room, calm and looking at Zhao Bao with a mocking expression.

Seeing Chu Huan, Zhao Bao was filled with anger. He pointed at Chu Huan and sneered, "You... good...!" but could not say more.

Chu Huan held a rope and, without a word, went forward to grab Feng Erdou. Zhao Bao blocked him and shouted, "You dare to touch a hair on our Sir's head?"

Chu Huan punched Zhao Bao in the chest. Zhao Bao cried out in pain. The punch was not full force but was enough to knock the wind out of him, and he fell to the ground.

Chu Huan dragged Feng Erdou off the bed, tied his hands and feet, and threw him into the main hall of the Iron family. He then said to Liu Tianfu, "Uncle Liu, send him to the county office tomorrow and see what the magistrate says!"

Liu Tianfu walked over and frowned, "Even if we send him to the county office, it might... it might not be easy."

Chu Huan said calmly, "No matter what, the rape of a woman is clear, and he cannot stay here any longer!"

Shitou saw Feng Erdou lying motionless on the ground, went over, and felt his nose. He was surprised to find that Feng Erdou had no breath and exclaimed, "Feng Erdou... Feng Erdou is dead!"

Everyone was shocked. Liu Tianfu rushed over, felt Feng Erdou's nose, and his expression became serious. He frowned, "He... he is really dead!"

Zhao Bao, hearing this, was greatly alarmed. He endured the pain in his chest, went to Feng Erdou, felt him, and exclaimed, "You... you killed Sir Feng...!"

Liu Tianfu's face turned stern, and he said, "Zhao Bao, you were the first to strike, and I couldn't stop you. Moreover, you called everyone to come and encouraged them to hit him. Even when everyone stopped, you kept hitting him. Everyone saw this."

"That's right, we all just hit Feng Erdou's body, but you hit his head repeatedly!"

"This Feng Erdou was killed by you, Zhao Bao, don't try to shift the blame!"

"We can all testify that you were the one who killed Feng Erdou with your last few strikes. We will say the same thing to the magistrate!"

The villagers spoke up, and the fact that Feng Erdou was killed by Zhao Bao seemed to be established.

Zhao Bao, pale and speechless, did not know how to argue.

Liu Tianfu said, "Zhao Bao, you don't need to be afraid. Feng Erdou's rape of a woman is a serious crime, and you led everyone to punish the evil. This is a good deed. We will speak on your behalf at the county office!"

"Exactly. Although you have been with Feng Erdou, we now understand that you are a good person. You have been thinking of the villagers and helped us get rid of Feng Erdou. We are grateful to you."

"Zhao Bao, Village Head Liu is right, we will speak on your behalf."

"The magistrate is fair and just. He will see who is right and who is wrong. Zhao Bao, don't be afraid. We will all help you. If the magistrate does not handle it fairly, we will appeal to the governor of Yunshan Prefecture!"

The villagers spoke up, and it was clear that Feng Erdou was killed by Zhao Bao.

Zhao Bao, unable to speak, suddenly let out a strange cry and rushed out of the room, disappearing into the rain.

Shitou and a few villagers wanted to chase him, but Chu Huan stopped them, smiling, "Don't chase him. If he runs, it's better. Fleeing from the crime will make it clear that he is the one who killed Feng Erdou!"

The villagers were delighted.

Feng Erdou's death lifted a heavy burden from everyone's hearts, as if a mountain that had been pressing on them for years had been removed, and they could finally stand tall.

Without delay, the group, led by Chu Huan, took Feng Erdou's body back to the Feng family's house. Chu Huan searched Feng Erdou's room and found a wooden box in a wall crevice. Inside were the deeds and land sale contracts he had extorted from the villagers. Chu Huan gave the deeds to Liu Tianfu to return to the villagers and burned the land sale contracts.

Lu Bao, who was recuperating at the Feng family's house, was hiding under the bed, too afraid to make a sound. The villagers saw him but ignored him.

With the deeds and contracts, they went to the courtyard. The two large guard dogs barked fiercely, but Chu Huan swung a wooden stick and killed them, then skinned them in the courtyard and divided the meat among the villagers.

These two dogs had bitten many people in the village, and now everyone would get to taste the meat.

Everyone was overjoyed, but Liu Tianfu was still worried. He found a chance to pull Chu Huan aside and asked quietly, "Erlang, did you set this up?"

From the beginning, he felt something was off, and the more he thought about it, the more he suspected that Chu Huan was behind it, especially when Chu Huan appeared at the right time.

Chu Huan, of course, did not admit it, but smiled, "Evil begets evil, I suppose."

Huahua had lured Chu Huan to fix the roof, following Feng Erdou's instructions to frame him. Chu Huan, always cautious, immediately suspected something was wrong when Huahua's behavior was unusual. He directly exposed the plot, and Huahua panicked. Chu Huan, who had been waiting for Feng Erdou to make a move, seized the opportunity and, using persuasion and threats, convinced Huahua to help him. Although Huahua was promiscuous, she was a simple village woman with a small heart. She had been forced to comply with Feng Erdou and harbored deep resentment. After Chu Huan's persuasion, she turned to his side.

According to Zhao Bao's plan, Huahua was to seduce Chu Huan and then slip him an aphrodisiac. The plan was to use the aphrodisiac to arouse Chu Huan's desires, and with Huahua's seduction, he would likely fall for the trap. To ensure the plan's success, Zhao Bao chose a potent aphrodisiac that would not only arouse physical desires but also cause the user to lose strength and have difficulty walking.

If Chu Huan fell for the trap, he would be accused of rape and imprisoned, allowing Feng Erdou to use his connections to have Chu Huan killed in prison.

This plan was extremely sinister. Chu Huan, learning of it from Huahua, decided to turn the tables. He and Huahua staged the entire scene, and while Zhao Bao was gathering people, Chu Huan had already gone to the Feng family and forcibly brought Feng Erdou to Huahua's house.

Feng Erdou, who had set a trap to kill Chu Huan, ended up losing his own life.

Liu Tianfu, seeing that Chu Huan did not admit it, did not press further but sighed, "With Feng Erdou dead, his gang of ruffians will soon come to the village. We... we can't escape them!"
