Liu Dalang clenched his fists. “You know very well whether it’s intentional or not. So what if the seed has been planted? Just dig it all out.”

Tang Maosheng smiled. “Nephew-in-law, are you joking? There is no way we will dig out the seeds? This is ridiculous. If you insist on saying that, go and get the village chief to be the judge.”

Madam Wu ate sunflower seeds as she said with a smug smile, “That’s right. Don’t forget that your surname is Liu, not Tang. This is Tang Village. You’re an outsider. It’s not a place for you to mess around.”

Tang Yu looked at Liu Dalang and said, “Brother Liu, you can’t be so unreasonable.”

When Tang An and Tang Yuan arrived, Tang Yu’s expression turned cold.

Tang Maosheng said directly, “Alright, alright, for the sake of the fact that you are my niece and nephew, I’ll give you guys more grains when the time comes.”

Tang Yuan gritted his teeth. “You’re a beast. How can you do this? Aren’t you afraid that my father will come looking for you?”

Tang Maosheng suddenly trembled and was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Tang Yuan fiercely. “You little bastard, I’ll kill you.”

Last time, he was scared out of his wits when he saw his deceased brother. Fortunately, he did not see him later. Now that Tang Yuan brought it up, Tang Maosheng was immediately overcome with fear.

He even wanted to slap Tang Yuan again. Liu Dalang grabbed his hand with a dark expression. He twisted it hard, and Tang Maosheng immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Madam Wu was shocked and threw punches at Liu Dalang, shouting. “Let go, let go.”

Liu Dalang’s expression was dark and extremely terrifying.

Madam Wu shouted at the top of her lungs. “Help! Someone wants to kill us!”

Li Guanfeng heard it from afar. His expression was cold as he said, “How abhorrent. Someone actually dares to commit a crime under my nose.”

Ligui and Liming immediately went to find out what was going on.

Madam Wu ran outside and shouted loudly. Her voice was loud and spread far.

The constables in the village frowned as well. The village chief, who was cooperating with the investigation, felt his heart skip a beat. What he was afraid of really happened. He had just told them that the villagers were all good-hearted people when something happened.

Liming and Ligui kicked open the door with a bang, making Madam Wu jump up in fright.

The constables with the sword were expressionless and looked terrifying.

Ligui and Liming went straight into the house. Ligui pulled out his sword and pointed it at Liu Dalang. He said coldly, “Let go.”

Tang Maosheng cried. “Officer, you have to help me. This person broke my arm. If you didn’t come in time, he would have killed me.”

Hatred flashed across Tang Yu’s eyes as she said, “I can testify that this man wanted to kill my father just now.”

Since she couldn’t get him, she might as well destroy him.

Tang Yuan said angrily, “It’s not like that. If your father didn’t steal my land, my brother-in-law wouldn’t have hit your father!”

Tang An felt sad and disappointed. In the end, her uncle still wouldn’t change. She said, “Officer, they stole my land. That’s why my fiancé was angry and hit him.”

Ligui and Liming said coldly, “Magistrate Li will judge who is right and who is wrong. You don’t have to argue here. There will be a time for you to speak for yourself.”

Liu Dalang let go. “I’m sure Magistrate Li will be just and solve the case fairly.”

Ligui put away his sword. “Come out. Magistrate Li is outside. Tell him what happened one by one.”

Ligui glanced at Liu Dalang and walked out with Li Ming.

It was obvious that Li Guanfeng did not like the Liu family. Now that Liu Dalang had caused trouble under his nose, he’d surely end up getting arrested.

Li Guanfeng stood coldly in the courtyard while Madam Wu knelt in front of him and complained.

The village chief arrived soon.

Looking at Tang Maosheng’s family, Tang An, and Tang Yuan, he said with a frown, “Tang An, Tang Yuan, why are you falling out with your uncle? He’s your family after all.”

Tang Yuan felt a lump in his throat. “It’s him…”

Before Tang Yuan could speak, the village chief’s eyes turned cold. “Our Tang Village should be united, understand? Hurry up and apologize to your uncle and aunt.”

The village Chief naturally had to side with Tang Maosheng and his family. As for Tang Yuan and Tang An, they were still young and would forget about it soon.

In short, this matter must not blow up.

The village chief kept winking at Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to continue, Tang An said, “Sir, please seek justice for me. This person is my uncle. My father and mother passed away early. Earlier, we promised to give the land for my uncle to plant, and he promised to give us our portion of the grains during harvest. However, all these years, he never fulfilled his promise. Last year, we took back the land, ready to plant it on our own. But suddenly, without me knowing, he went and planted seeds again.”

Tang Maosheng widened his eyes. “Tang An, you, you ingrate!”

Li Guanfeng looked at the village chief coldly. “Is what this woman said true?”

The village chief met Li Guanfeng’s cold gaze and panicked. He stammered. “This, this… I don’t know if this is true.”

Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Dalang. “Arrest him on attempted murder.”

Liu Dalang frowned. Tang An panicked and hastened to explain. “Sir, he didn’t do it on purpose. It’s because…”

Li Guanfeng couldn’t be bothered to listen to Tang An at all. His gaze landed on Tang Maosheng. “Arrest him for stealing the land.”

Tang Maosheng, who was originally gloating, was about to say that Li Guanfeng was wise when he was stunned by Li Guanfeng’s words.

Madam Wu said anxiously, “Sir, you can’t arrest my husband. He clearly…”

Li Guanfeng’s gaze landed on the village chief. He did not listen to Madam Wu at all and said, “The village chief is full of lies. Arrest him and bring him back. I want to interrogate him.”

“As for the rest of you, wait for the notice. They will inform you when the trial begins.”

Li Guanfeng’s expression was cold. Without giving anyone a chance to speak, he turned around and said coldly, “Get ready. We’re heading back to the government office.”

After the constables left, Tang Yu looked at Tang An coldly and said, “Are you happy now? Let’s see how you can explain it to the Liu family.”
