As soon as he returned to the village, Tong Tianyang felt an extremely depressing atmosphere, enveloping the entire Tongjia Village.

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, there were many people, and there were eight corpses that had been covered with white cloth in the crowd, and the young and middle-aged people of the escort team surrounded the entire village entrance, and the third uncle stood there gloomily, and the whole person would explode at any time.

"Let's let me, the prince is back!"

When the people of the escort team saw Tong Tianyang coming back with people, they immediately separated a way from the crowd, but only Tong Tianyang was allowed to go in, and Wu Gui and the three were all stopped outside.

"Third uncle, stop your anger!"

It was the first time he saw the third uncle angry, and the kind of appearance that didn't say a word was more terrifying than the thunderous outbursts of ordinary people.

"It's good to be back, you're the one who talks about it, you can deal with this matter!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it!"

The third uncle seems to have handed over the right to deal with this matter to him, but in fact, Ren Liu's words are later, if Tong Tianyang's handling is not satisfactory to the clansmen and dissatisfied, the third uncle will handle the matter according to his method at that time.

The people of the escort team had already brought weapons, these weapons made of agricultural tools, flashing a dazzling cold light under the scorching sun, and everyone was holding back a fire in their hearts.

"The tragedy in Dongjia Village is shocking, for this matter, I discussed with the third uncle, I went to the county seat, nine days ago, I took someone to investigate the affairs of Dongjia Village. I didn't expect that someone would bully our village now, and you said, what should we do?"

Tong Tianyang paused word by word, walked around the eight corpses, and swept his sharp gaze from the clansmen.

"Kill to pay for your life, pay off your debts!"

In the crowd, there was the roar of an old man, the roar was hoarse, and the shout with all his strength detonated the fire in the hearts of the whole village!

For a while, the slogan of killing people to pay for their lives resounded in the sky, and looking at the angry villagers of Tongjia Village, Wu Gui and several people couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"There is a debtor who is wronged!"

"Do any of you see who poisoned the drinking water?"

Pressing his hand, the audience fell silent, and Tong Tianyang asked in a deep voice.

"Who else can there be, isn't it the villages downstream, these bastards, some time ago there was no water to irrigate the farmland, didn't they just come to us to get water? We didn't give them that time, the weather was very hot a few days ago, there was not much water in the pond, they came to fetch it again, we took into account that the paddy fields in the whole village are still short of water! So they didn't give it, they must have seen that we had water, they had no water, and they were disgruntled, so they wanted to take revenge on us!"

"Yes, when we built the embankment before, the villages downstream came to make trouble, and now they see that we have water without worry, so they come to take revenge on us!"

……

In this regard, Tong Tianyang couldn't help but shake his head, "Ask two questions, in our village in the east of Pingfeng County, in addition to the river at the head of the village, is there a second river?"

"Tianyang, what do you mean by that?"

An old man walked out with a cane, and the crutches poked the ground fiercely, "You don't think that the person who poisoned you is not from those villages downstream, you have to put your position in place, you are the person who speaks from my Tong family, not from their village!"

"Everyone thinks, our generation is the river at the head of the village, far away from the river. Originally, the water of this river was used to irrigate the farmland, but now the well water is shallow, so we only take water from the river.

"In the past, if the water flow was large, the poison would be washed away, but now the water flow is small, and the river surface is hardly much flowing, but where the terrain is, the poison will still float downstream, whether the downstream should drink water, and whether to drink water or not. If I'm not mistaken, people in the two villages near us have already been poisoned, and maybe someone has died!"

"Isn't it, let's send someone to inquire, don't you know!"

"Who do you mean, if someone downstream is poisoned, then the possibility of poisoning the downstream village is ruled out?" The old man is old does not mean that he is stupid, hearing what Tong Tianyang said, the old man pressed the cane twice, turned around and yelled at the escort team, "Are you stupid? What are you still doing in a daze, quickly send someone to a few villages downstream to see!"

"Wait!"

Seeing the escort team that was about to set off, Tong Tianyang shouted, "If there are people who have died of poisoning downstream, please call the people from their village!"

"Got it, third brother!"

There were three villages downstream, and the escort team sent nine people, three in one village, to rush to several villages downstream.

"We don't wronged a good person, but we never run away with a bad person. I promise you that I will give an explanation to the whole village within one day!"

"Now, the whole village is preparing for the future, do you want to watch your family, your own relatives, lie here like this? What should you do, what should you do! Leave the murderer's affairs to me!"

Turning around, Tong Tianyang bent down and clenched his fists, "Please also ask the third uncle to preside over the festival!"

"Good!"

The third uncle nodded heavily, raised his head and said, "Don't make trouble for Tianyang here, I believe that Tianyang will handle this matter, and what we have to do now is to deal with the aftermath of these clansmen!"

With the third uncle here, the clansmen quickly dispersed, and then everyone was busy, Dharma affairs, and wine banquets. Coffin, funeral, according to the custom here in Pingfeng County, the person who died is only put for one day, and now it is almost noon, and the scene must be completed before nightfall, and the earth must be laid before sunset, and more importantly, the person who died can not enter the ancestral grave, which is a troublesome thing.

"Little broken boy, what do you think I'm doing?"

The villagers were almost scattered, and Tong Tianyang suddenly found that a pair of eyes that had been staring at him had not moved away for a long time, and a boy in a blue flower dress looked at him with an extremely complicated expression.

"It's you kid, what's wrong?"

Recognized, Tong Tianqing, this boy is the child who was hung in the mouth by the evil mastiff that night, he became an orphan that night, since where this child is very withdrawn, Tong Tianyang also sent someone to bring it, but the effect is not obvious.

"If you have anything to say, my brother is here!"

Picking up the child, Tong Tianyang patted him on the back and said, the man's muscles were stiff all over his body, he didn't know whether he was scared or nervous, "What, what else can you say to your brother?"

The child's body slowly softened, his head tilted to Tong Tianyang's ear, and he said softly, "I know who poisoned him, and an elder brother who often comes to our village to sell fish, the smell of fish on that person's body is terrible!"

When the child shares his secrets with you again, and when he panics, of course Tong Tianyang will not say it out loud, "How do you know!"

"The day before yesterday, during the day, the brother who sold fish wanted to borrow our pond to raise fish, but the uncle in the village did not agree. Last night I got up to pee and saw that figure squatting by the river, I don't know what I was doing? But the smell of fish in the wind was the same as that brother, very ugly and fishy! Today the grandfather and uncle in the village ......."

"I was wrong, I killed my grandmother and father, and now I am killing them!"

The little boy obviously blamed himself for the previous two things, and cried on Tong Tianyang's shoulder.

"Tianqing, it's not your fault, you will follow your brother in the future, okay!"

This child is from his own clan, and Tong Tianyang is still very close in terms of blood, Tong Tianyang should call him a cousin.

The child nodded slightly, and the hand around Tong Tianyang's neck became tighter and tighter.
