The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 30: Tragic Annihilation! (Fourth Update)

One couldn't help but marvel at the robustness of his lively physique.

But just as he had woken up early in the morning and hadn't even had a chance to do some sunrise exercises, the door to his courtyard was knocked on.

Through the narrow window, Lin Fan looked outside and saw that it was still dimly lit. He couldn't help but wonder who would come to his house so early in the morning and knock on the door.

Moreover, the knocking was urgent, and the courtyard gate seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

In just a few days, his door had been kicked down a few times, and it had only been barely reinstalled. If it continued to be knocked on, it might really be knocked down.

"Husband..."

The wives were also awakened by the knocking and looked at Lin Fan with some concern.

During these days, whenever there was movement at the courtyard gate, it was never a good thing.

"It's okay, I'll go take a look."

Lin Fan understood the wives' concerns and reassured them in a soft voice before getting out of bed.

The wives were still worried and got up from the bed, putting on their clothes and following him outside.

"Who is it? Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning!"

Lin Fan asked irritably.

No one would feel comfortable being disturbed like this early in the morning.

"It's me, Uncle Wang, open the door quickly!"

The voice of Village Chief Wang came from outside, and his words were even more urgent than the knocking, as if something big had happened.

Lin Fan sensed the situation and quickly opened the courtyard gate.

When the gate opened, he saw Village Chief Wang with red eyes and an anxious expression.

"What's wrong, Uncle Wang?"

Seeing the other party's appearance, Lin Fan became even more curious.

"Something big has happened!"

Village Chief Wang immediately blurted out.

"What big thing happened?"

Lin Fan's expression also became serious.

Village Chief Wang didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath to calm himself down before saying, "Early this morning, a villager wanted to borrow something from Wang Youcai's family, but he found that Wang Youcai's whole family had been annihilated!"

"Annihilated?!"

Lin Fan was also shocked by the news. This was indeed a big deal, especially in a rural area like this.

But slowly, Lin Fan felt that something was off.

If Wang Youcai's family had been annihilated, they should report it to the authorities. What did it have to do with him? Was it necessary to come to his house so early in the morning and urgently inform him?

He didn't have a good relationship with Wang Youcai's family. Even if he had to attend the funeral, his family should be the last to know.

"Uncle Wang, do you think I annihilated Wang Youcai's family?"

Lin Fan frowned, feeling uncomfortable.

Village Chief Wang didn't speak, but he did have such thoughts in his heart.

In the village, the only one with both motive and strength was Lin Fan.

Even Wang Wei, a master in the martial arts world, had been easily dealt with, showing Lin Fan's strength.

Coupled with their grudges, Lin Fan was indeed the prime suspect.

"Tell me the truth, is it you? If it is, you should escape quickly. Some villagers have already gone to report to the authorities, and it won't be long before the officials come back. It will be difficult for you to escape then!"

After a moment of silence, Village Chief Wang sighed and spoke.

"It's not me."

Lin Fan answered seriously.

"Really not you?"

Village Chief Wang still had some doubts.

"Really not me."

Lin Fan looked directly at the other party without any hesitation.

"Then who could it be?"

Village Chief Wang was completely confused and began to mutter to himself, "Could it be some great thief from the martial arts world who targeted Wang Youcai's wealth and plotted to kill? But that doesn't make sense. The wealth is still there..."

"Uncle Wang, don't think too much. It was done by the Si River Gang. It's best for you not to get involved in this matter. Since it has been reported to the authorities, let them handle it. But it's highly likely that it will be left unresolved."

Lin Fan spoke up at this moment.

"Si River Gang?!"

Upon hearing these words, Village Chief Wang's pupils contracted. After a moment, he turned to Lin Fan and asked, "How did you find out?"

Lin Fan didn't hide anything and explained to Wang the incident involving Wang Fa and the Si River Gang members who came to cause trouble for him.

However, he didn't go into detail about the Old Swordman and Divine Sword Villa, only mentioning that a prominent figure from the martial world happened to be visiting as a guest, which intimidated the Si River Gang.

The Si River Gang blamed Wang Fa for bringing unwarranted disaster upon them and offending the prominent figure for no reason.

This matter was not difficult to understand.

However, he didn't expect that the Si River Gang would be so ruthless and directly wipe out the entire gang!

This time, he personally experienced how brutal the gangs in this world could be and how chaotic the martial world had become.

Heroes defy prohibitions.

This saying has been passed down through the ages and can be considered a famous saying.

They resort to killing at the slightest provocation.

This is the martial world!

In this world, if one wants to live a good life, they must have strength.

While Lin Fan was contemplating, Village Chief Wang was stunned.

He knew about the Si River Gang, a well-known gang in the county that no one dared to provoke within a hundred miles.

Even the government had deep connections with them.

To think that the members of such a large gang were intimidated by Lin Fan's friend and dared not cause any more trouble, fearing to displease the prominent figure and have Wang Fa's entire family killed.

If Lin Fan wasn't lying...

Wang Fa's family might really be doomed.

It was not unexpected that when the officials went to the government, they only sent two constables and a coroner to investigate the case, and then hastily closed it.

Wang's family of thirteen accidentally consumed a sugary drink boiled with rat poison and died.

When the villagers heard this announcement, they were in an uproar.

Their heads were twisted backward, and they couldn't believe that they had been poisoned by rat poison!

And Wang Fa...

His whole body was brutally dismembered.

When did rat poison become so potent?

However, the constables who came to investigate ignored the protests and signed the investigation report with the coroner. The case was closed, leaving behind a pot of sugary liquid resembling porridge.

The process was extremely sloppy.

In fact, it was indeed sloppy.

"Just this sugary drink, even a fool wouldn't drink it! It's simply taking lives for granted!"

Some righteous individuals couldn't bear it and shouted when they saw the porridge-like sugary drink.

In a pot not much larger than that, there were at least three catties of rat poison. The smell was so strong that it was unbearable even from a distance. Even a fool wouldn't drink it!

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe Wang's family are all idiots!"

Some people who had grievances with Wang's family gloated at this moment.

Wang Fa was able to raise a son like Lin Fan, so naturally, he wasn't a good person. In the past, relying on his eldest son's arrogance, he had encroached on their land and dug up all their fields.

Some people couldn't bear it and went to confront him, but Wang Fa called his son to break their legs. In the end, they lost their labor force at home, couldn't pay the poll tax, and their wives and daughters were all forcibly sent to the brothel.

That person, who was disabled, was spared from being conscripted, but he watched helplessly as his wife and daughter were forcibly taken away to the brothel. That night, he crawled into the kitchen and slit his throat with a kitchen knife.

A once happy family was destroyed by the other party!

Such scum.

Now that he's dead.

It's truly a blessing in disguise!

The righteous person who just spoke up was actually Wang Fa's cousin. He usually benefited from the other party's family, but now that he's dead, he naturally won't have any more benefits in the future.

Most of the people in Wang's village had no good feelings towards Wang's family, and some even despised them.

Wang's relatives originally wanted to say something, but seeing many villagers looking at them coldly, they wisely closed their mouths and "admitted" that Wang's family of thirteen had indeed been poisoned to death by rat poison.

Lin Fan also arrived at the scene.

How should I put it?

They brought this upon themselves...

Harming others ultimately harms oneself.
