Chapter 1170 A fire must be lit
How could he have imagined that what was originally a good job of just earning a thousand taels of silver would become like this? If he had known it, no matter how much money he was given, he would not do such a thing.
Doesn't this cost his life?
No, that's not right. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have let the people in the village dig up the cow no matter what he said. At worst, he would be tired and dig slowly!
"You said someone gave you money and asked you to dig it? Who was it?" The great prince came over and asked.
"I...I don't know. He was...covering his face with a black cloth. I just heard his voice and knew it was a man." The clan leader endured the pain and replied.
"lie!"
The great prince shouted sharply.
He raised his foot and stepped on the clan leader's belly.
"After being caught and exposed, you still dare to lie. If that person has the ability to find you, will he not have the ability to dig up the dead cow himself? Is there any need to give you money to let you dig it? Do you think we are all the same? Is it easy to coax?"
he questioned.
"Really, it's true."
The patriarch didn't believe any of them when he saw them, especially since he was in terrible pain, and he almost wanted to die.
"He asked me where the dead cow was buried, but I didn't tell him, so he... gave me one thousand taels of silver and asked me to dig it out," he said.
"hehe.
Lin Caisang sneered twice.
"Clan leader, let me remind you that your hands and feet will start to fester in half an hour. Are you sure you want to continue making up the story without regrets?"
This kind of nonsense might be able to deceive the people in the village, but as for them, she could only laugh.
"Otherwise."
She knelt down and raised an eyebrow at the clan leader.
"Anyway, our people will definitely find all the poisoned beef. There is no need to ask you. We will just throw you into the mountains to fend for yourself. What do you think of my idea? Is it good?"
she asked the clan leader.
"no, do not want."
The patriarch endured the pain and shook his head repeatedly.
"I said, to be honest, someone found me late at night a few days ago, gave me a thousand taels of silver, and asked me to...let me lead someone to dig out the dead cow while it was dark.
The man said...what did he say? The dead cow couldn't be buried like this. When the corpse of the dead cow came out, it would probably harm the whole village. It had to be burned. "
"What did you say?"
When the eldest prince heard what he said, he stepped hard on his stomach.
This old guy, knowing full well that the dead cow would kill the whole village, took a thousand taels of silver from him, but refused to do anything for him, and was even going to dry the poisoned beef. What was he trying to do?
"ah!"
The clan leader screamed, but no one sympathized with him.
"Spare your life, spare your life. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy for money and dried the dead cow. I just thought that the man said he would come to see the situation in a few days, so I thought he could give me a thousand taels. Silver, he must be a rich man, he just wants to get some more silver.
I really didn't mean it. Please spare me. I never dare to do it again, never again. "
"The human heart is weak and snakes are greedy for elephants!" Lin Caisang spat out seven words coldly.
They gave the clan leader a thousand taels of silver and asked him to dig out the poisonous cow and set it on fire.
And that person said that he would come back to see the situation. This sentence was most likely just to urge the clan leader to take his money and do something good for him.
It became an excuse for the clan leader to have evil plans and want more money, and he also caused so many people to be infected with strange poisons!
