Chapter 321: Take Out Two Hundred Taels
Someone else remarked, "Yes, sending Liu Dazhuang to jail will rid the villagers of a scourge, otherwise my grandchildren would be too frightened to even leave the house."
Naturally, getting rid of the pest Liu Dazhuang would be more satisfying than sending Gu the Second and his wife to jail.
Listening to these heartening voices, Liu Dazhuang’s head exploded with noise.
If he were to go back, his life would be ruined. He didn’t want to return to jail and fight rats for stale bread. Life outside was so much better. How could he resign himself to spend his life in prison?
No, that was unacceptable!
No matter whether what that person said last night was true or false, he had to speak up. Flies don’t sting a seamless egg; if Gu the Third really hadn’t done it, there would be no reason to arbitrarily pin it on him. There must be something fishy, something tied to him, for it to be said like that.
Besides, if it weren’t for that meddlesome Gu the Third, he wouldn’t be in this mess—without the agreement, he was without defense. And later, it was possible that Gu the Second could turn on him in court.
Watching Gu the Third help Gu Feng across the courtyard to the house across, Liu Dazhuang couldn’t sit still any longer. Suddenly, he broke free from the ropes binding him and rushed into the courtyard, shouting, "Elder Gu, I have something to say, I know where Gu Youyou is right now."
