As expected, the voice had reached her ears. As the delicate voice faded away, Yan Jiuniang found herself standing next to the four maids – Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. They separated into two groups, somewhat nervously sizing up the servants around them, ready to start a fight at any moment!

A gentle breeze blew into the kitchen, causing the already dim lighting to sway even more. It made the figures of the people outside seem even more blurred, as if devils were crazily dancing around with their fangs bared!

The courtyard was extremely quiet, so quiet that only the sounds of their heartbeats could be heard. Perhaps this was the sound of the drum before the great battle!

Seeing how nervous the situation was, Wang Yu De could not help but smile bitterly, then waved his hand at the servants, who were holding sharp daggers in their hands, indicating for them to retreat to the backyard, then laughed lightly and said: "Since all the distinguished guests are here, let me tell you a story!"

Seeing the menacing gazes of the servants being ordered to withdraw from the scene, Meng Chonglou and the rest finally calmed down a little. Gu Yiyang smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't sleep. It's good to hear a story from you to relieve my boredom!"

Wang Yudao smiled awkwardly and said, "This story is very long. Even if you want to hear it tonight, you might not be able to finish it. If you want to hear it, you have to be patient!"

"Since the story is long, then don't waste time!" Gu Yiyang smiled coldly, "Is that okay?"

Hearing that, Wang Yudao could not help but let out a long sigh and said, "Young people these days just have no patience! Forget it, I'll just accept this fact! "

Wang Yu De couldn't help but look up at the dark sky as if he could find the beginning of a story there!

It turned out that both Wang Yude and the deceased Village Head were candidates for the position of village head in the Huang An Village. During the general election, the votes obtained by the two of them were actually the same, and after a period of argument, many people suggested for them to compete in martial arts, but this idea was immediately questioned, because Niu Xiaobao's grandfather did not know any martial arts, so how could he compete with Wang Yudao who was strong and powerful in martial arts?

Just as the villagers were having an intense argument, the couple appeared!

Even though their roots were in Huang An Village, they were rarely known by anyone, as they hadn't been in the village for many years. If it weren't for Huang Qingshui's father, the couple wouldn't have been here, and their appearance here would have determined the future choice of the village head!

Of course, those villagers who supported Wang Yudao found it hard to accept their actions, but the Huang Family's genealogy book clearly stated Huang Qingshi's name. This was a fact that no one could deny, and because of this, those who did not agree with it finally accepted it!

Furthermore, Huang Qingshi had also said something at that time, and it had won more people's hearts!

He said, 'I was born in Huang An Village and died in Huang An Village's ghost. Huang An Village may not like me, but I am still a member of this village!'

Having said this, he voted for Niu Xiaobao's grandfather. From then on, there would be a new Village Chief in Huang An Village.

However, this was all a joke. Who would have thought that not long after this matter had occurred, the village chief, who should have been deeply moved by their kindness, would actually agree to send them to the guillotine?

Some extreme people would even blame Niu Xiaobao's grandfather for being ungrateful. However, the real victims – Huang Qingshi and his wife – would not resent Niu Xiaobao's grandfather for doing this, because they knew that the village chief was not willing to do anything to them, and it was the two words' not able to do it 'that led to this story!

It turned out that because of Huang Qisheng and his wife's two sacred votes, he had planted the seeds of hatred, constantly wanting to overthrow the position of the village chief. He was actively trying to win the hearts of the villagers, always wanting to one day turn his hand into a cloud, and fate had just given him this chance!

In those years, there were countless natural disasters, no food harvest, and many people were forced to sell off their girls for a living, some families truly had nothing to sell, so they thought of the treasures in Wu Wang's tomb. Although they knew there were many mechanisms in the tomb and they were all responsible for protecting it, in this life or death situation, all of these were nothing.

As their actions became more and more brazen, Huang Qingshi and his wife were finally angered. Finally, they couldn't take it anymore and went back to their old ways. They went against these people and relied on their unique skills to take back the treasures that they stole from the tomb.

Initially, Wang Yude had secretly sent people to negotiate with the couple, but they were determined not to compromise. Helplessly, Wang Yude judged the situation and decided to take the risk.

At that time, Madam Qiu Leng was troubled by the fact that they were unable to find out the identity of the male and female bandits, but Wang Yude took the opportunity to send Huang Qingshi and his wife away. With her personality of exterminating evil at that time, she didn't even think twice before moving to Huang An Village, specifically targeting Huang Qingshi and his wife.

Thus, this battle that was both open and dark began without a sound!

In order to get rid of evil, one side had to fulfill their duty, the other side had to show their magical abilities, for their own purposes, they had to drag many unrelated people into this battle. Under the wash of blood and tears, this battle ended in the defeat of Huang Qingshui and his wife, but this was not the end.

That battle was the kind of battle that only the perpetrators of Huang Dajian and the villagers knew. Although both sides had yet to fully understand the true nature of the battle, the battle had finally come to an end!

In these two battles, there was one person who acted as the middleman. He was Niu Xiaobao's grandfather. This muddle-headed Village Chief, who seemed to be the most powerful person in the world, did not have any real power at all!

At first, he knew that someone had infiltrated Wu Wang's tomb, but he did not stop them. He closed his eyes and allowed the situation to escalate, but later on, even when Huang Qingshui and his wife were involved, he did not regret his decision. In order to maintain his own position, he agreed to the request of the villagers and hanged Huang Qingshuang and his wife.

However, although this village chief was hateful, he was still a pure and honest village chief. In the entire matter, only he had not touched the contents of Wu Wang's tomb, and even when Wang Yu De sent people to secretly bribe him, they did not move his heart. He continued to live a bitter and plain life, helping the villagers to do the best they could.

Perhaps it was because of his persistence that moved Wang Yude, or because his aloofness touched Wang Yude, and he felt remorseful and ashamed. Wang Yude finally hardened his heart and sealed away all the treasures he had stolen from Wu Wang's grave. No matter how the world changed, he was unshakable and continued to live a miserable life that only he knew!

When the crowd heard this, they could not help but feel a little regretful. Du Jiangsheng let out a long sigh and said, "The Wang family is a big family in the village. In the eyes of ordinary people, they should be living a luxurious life, but in the eyes of the clan leader, it has declined! "However, the Patriarch loves his reputation, so he still has to talk about what needs to be done. Even if his face is swollen, he still has to be made into a fatty, is that right?"

When Wang Yude heard this, he could not help but blush. He asked in an obscure tone, "Child, how did you guess it?"

"He had been hungry for more than half a day, but when he was facing a table full of delicious dishes, he did not move his chopsticks at all. If it were not for someone's advice, he would not even have tasted the lotus roots. Isn't this against common sense?" Du Jiangsheng laughed.

Hearing this, Wang Yu De couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart and meticulous at such a young age. I've really underestimated you!"

"Actually, I'm not as smart as you think, I just think that you would actually eat with the servants in the mansion in the middle of the night, and eat porridge and pickled vegetables. I think even the stupidest person would be able to think of something fishy!" Du Jiangsheng smiled bitterly.

"Looks like I'll have to wait for the guests to finish their porridge before eating!" Wang Yu De laughed bitterly.

"That's still useless!" Gu Yiyang sneered again and again. "Sooner or later, your method of slapping the face to make it look like a fatty will be exposed, because paper can't wrap fire!"

"You're right!" Yan Jiuniang smiled, "Through your story, I have more or less understood one thing. It turns out that the existence of Huang An Village today was all thanks to you!"

"Huh?" Wang Yu De was shocked, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, "Lady Yan, where did you come from?"

"If it wasn't for you randomly attacking Wu Wang Mu, how would the news have spread to the martial arts world? Although they only knew of the whereabouts of Wu Wang's tomb, how could they not know of the whereabouts of the tomb? It was you who brought disaster upon the village of Huang An. Yan Jiuniang said with a cold expression.

More cold sweat trickled down from Wang Yu De's forehead, and finally formed into a line, which slid down his old face. He could not help but sigh, and beat his chest: "You are too right! I am the culprit! I am the sinner who deserves to be hanged the most! I have let down my ancestors! "

"Don't blame yourself so quickly, I'll ask you something else first!" Du Jiangsheng thought for a moment, then asked, "That Huang Jiaren is shouting at you, calling you an old boy. According to him, it is because of the face of the money that you dare not to get angry, but from what I see, with your personality, you will definitely not lower your head so easily. Are there any secrets hidden within?"

When Wang Yude heard this, he couldn't help but take three steps back. Then he looked at Du Jiangsheng with a surprised face and smiled tragically, "It seems like what that young hero said was right. Paper cannot contain fire! Fine! Since I am already a dying person, let's start with a new life! "

Everyone heard him say something weird, so they opened their eyes wide and stared at him, waiting for his next move, only to hear him say: "Although that Huang Shengren is famous for his kindness, but he is after all, a thoroughly evil merchant, how could it be so easy to take money out of his money bag? "I used the treasures that I had sealed in exchange for him to willingly pay the silver. Otherwise, how could he have come to this Huang An Village to pretend to be a good person?"

I understand!" So he's a hypocritical person! " "Originally, I had been wondering why there was such a big commotion in Huang An Village, but he, a benevolent man in Yangzhou, didn't know about it at all. Later on, if Hall Master Wu hadn't stepped in, he wouldn't even have attached any importance to Huang An Village. So, it turns out that he was plotting against those treasures!

"Sigh!" "He really knows his people's faces but not his heart!" Gu Yiyang also sighed with a look of disdain.

"Other than that, I want to ask you for confirmation!" Du Jiangsheng stared closely at Wang Yudao's face, not wanting to let go of even the slightest of change in his expression, "Was the death of Huang Qingshi and his wife an added fuel to the fire?"

"Hahahaha!" Wang Yu De suddenly laughed maniacally towards the sky: "I thought that this secret would never be asked again, but I didn't expect it to be asked by a child! That's right! I did it! Who told them not to bet those two votes on me? They deserve to die! "Not to mention Madam Qiu Leng's face, even your father, the god of heaven, cannot do so!"

"Vanity! Vanity is actually destroying people's hearts! " Meng Chun Lou gave a bitter sigh and said, "Could it be that becoming the village head is really that important?"

"Of course!" Wang Yu De's face suddenly darkened, "To outsiders, a village head might not be much, but in my eyes, he is a supreme glory! You know what? Our Wang family has been declining since I was born. Do you know how important that son is to me? Whether he can restore the Wang family's glory or not, the responsibility lies solely on my shoulders. But those two bastards, they made me bear the humiliation for my entire life and made me live forever in pain. How could I let them off so easily? "

"But how do you know what it will be like to be the village chief?"

As he finished his sentence, he saw a frail figure quietly walking out from a dark corner. When he saw the figure's face, Wang Yude could not help but take two steps back. He said in a low voice, "Xiaobao, you're awake too?"

"I've been here all along!" Niu Xiaobao smiled bitterly. "Because I'm also a person who loves to listen to stories!"

"Ha!" Wang Yu De's lips trembled, "Since you heard it all, then you should know what kind of person your grandfather is right? If the Village Chief had not been him, how could the Huang An Village have ended up like this? "

When Niu Xiaobao heard this, the bitterness in his eyes deepened. He smiled sadly and said, "I don't agree with what Grandpa did, but I know he did his best! In the past few years, whenever his grandfather mentioned the past, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and he actually vomited blood several times. In his room, there was still a tablet hidden up till now, and on it were the names of Huang Qingshui and his wife. He would pay respects every day to relieve the guilt in his heart, and do you understand the torment of repentance? "

"What's the use of repenting! If someone died, would he be able to live? He's just a piece of trash! " Wang Yu De cursed hatefully.

"You're not allowed to scold him! You are not qualified! " Niu Xiaobao shouted in anger.

"Is that so?" Wang Yu De laughed coldly: "If I told him about the dirty things he did, perhaps you wouldn't call him grandpa anymore!" Because it was not something a village chief should do! And the only one who knows about this is me. Other than me, no one else has the qualifications to talk about it! "
