The river was rushing and the night wind was howling, making Chu Nan and the others feel goosebumps.

Under Chu Nan's questioning, the red-eyed female ghost finally spoke.

She was indeed Tie Zhuangsheng's wife, and her name was Xiulian.

It turned out that Tie Zhuangsheng wanted to run for the new village head, but the surname Shi was the common surname in Shimen Village, so it was very difficult to win the position of village head from the Shi family.

Tie Zhuangsheng thought of a sinister way, let his wife seduce Shi Kai, the son of the village chief, and then tarnish the reputation of the Shi family. As long as I grow up, Tie Zhuangsheng can snatch the position of village head.

Although Shi Kai withstood the temptation, relying on Tie Zhuangsheng's secret rumors and Xiulian's own non-denial, everyone in the village believed that the village chief's son had cheated on Tie Zhuangsheng's wife.

If this rhythm continues, Tie Zhuangsheng has a high probability of being able to grab the position of village chief.

But one day, Tie Zhuangsheng did not know where he got the news, saying that the village head had obtained a technique of inviting the gods, he could invite the god of truth, and before the god of truth, lies could not hide.

In order not to let his plan fail, Tie Zhuangsheng designed to stun Shi Kai, and let Xiulian have a relationship with Shi Kai while Shi Kai was unconscious.

So that day when the village chief invited God, Tie Zhuangsheng was the first to ask Shi Kai a question: "Have you ever had a relationship with Xiulian?"

Shi Kai denied it, and became a lotus root man on the spot, and died.

In fact, Shi Kai didn't even know that he had a relationship with Xiulian when he was in a coma, and he died unjustly.

But what Xiulian didn't expect was that when Tiezhuangsheng used a trick to confirm her adulterous relationship with Shi Kai, everyone in the village clamored for Xiulian to be immersed in a pig cage. the traditional punishment of a person.

And Tie Zhuangsheng agreed to the villagers' request in order to secure his position as the village chief!

"Then Tie Zhuangsheng has treated you like this, why didn't you expose him on the spot?"

Zheng Yuee asked, she was very angry with Tie Zhuangsheng's actions, but she felt that there were loopholes in what Xiulian said.

"At that time, Tie Zhuangsheng kept giving me winks, making me think that he could save me. I didn't know about him until I was locked in a pig cage and carried to the river, and he pushed me down the river with his own hands. It turned out to really want me to die!"

When Xiulian said this, tears of blood dripped from her eyes, which were tears of hatred.

"Then Tie Zhuangsheng finally took the position of village chief?" Chu Nan asked.

"No, sorry to see you, the pig cage is made of bamboo. I was thrown into the river by Tie Zhuangsheng, but I didn't sink to the bottom immediately, so I told the truth."

"Tie Zhuangsheng opened his mouth to deny it, but the village chief asked him to swear to the God of Truth. He didn't dare, and the lie was broken without attacking. He was finally beaten to death by the villagers on this bridge! Hahaha!  … ..."

The female ghost Xiulian laughed wildly and fell into the river again.

Chu Nan and the others were silent for a while. When they found Tie Zhuangsheng's diary earlier, they thought Tie Zhuangsheng was the victim, but who knew he was the instigator.

That diary, being able to put it in the study so casually, seems to be part of Tie Zhuangsheng's plan. In order to spread rumors and slander Shi Kai, Tie Zhuangsheng used many despicable methods.

"Fortunately, the pig cage is made of bamboo. If it were an iron cage, Xiulian might not have time to tell the truth. Tie Zhuangsheng has already got it."

Zheng Yuee said with emotion.

"Yeah, having said that, that Shi Kai died really unjustly. He clearly kept the bottom line, but he was still killed by Tie Zhuangsheng."

Yan Lin said, seeing the female ghost disappear, she came over again.

"By the way, Brother Chu, that Tie Zhuangsheng was beaten to death on the bridge, can you call out his soul? I want to know why he is so cruel, and for the sake of the position of village chief, he sacrificed all his wife. Killed."

Zheng Yue'e was very curious about what kind of person this wolf-hearted Tie Zhuangsheng was.

Zheng Yue'e's words reminded Chu Nan, who then searched the stone bridge with the system.

【search】

[There is a soul imprisoned in the stone bridge (can be summoned)]

"Okay, I'll try." Seeing that the stone bridge really imprisoned a soul, Chu Nan reinserted the candles and incense sticks, and began to chant scriptures again, practicing the method.

"Brother, I found that what you said is correct." Miao Qi said to Mu Pengfei who was beside him while watching Chu Nan's actions.

"That's for sure. When did your brother miss it? Well, which sentence did you say?" Mu Pengfei continued.

"Um, the scriptures he recites every time seem to be different." Miao Qi said.

"I found out a long time ago." Mu Pengfei nodded.

After Chu Nan read a bunch of scriptures indiscriminately, he clicked Summon on the stone bridge with the system.

【call】

[Soul Cohesion: The remaining time is 5 minutes]

A male figure slowly appeared on the stone bridge. He was wearing a long gown and a scarf on his head, but his face was bruised and purple. This is the evidence that he was beaten to death.

"Are you Tie Zhuangsheng?" Yan Lin asked.

Tie Zhuangsheng didn't say a word, silently facing the direction of the river, knelt down, and said:

"Xiulian, I'm the one who's sorry for you. I was obsessed with ghosts, and I wanted to be the head of the village with all my heart. I'm the one who hurt you!"

"What's the use of apologizing now? Why did you go so early? Just for the sake of being the head of a village, you made your wife like this!" Yan Lin scolded.

"Yes, it's my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Tie Zhuangsheng kowtowed in the direction of the river.

"Why do you insist on taking the position of village chief? Is the position of village chief really so important?" Zheng Yuee asked out of her doubts.

Tie Zhuangsheng stopped kowtowing, his eyes were misty, and he began to murmur:
"Shimen Village has a lot of people with the surname Shi, and they often bully others. We, people with mixed surnames, have no status in Shimen Village."

"When I was young, my father was beaten to death because of a conflict with the Shi family. In the end, he just lost some eggs."

When Tie Zhuangsheng said this, Yan Lin suddenly interjected, "Your father was beaten to death, won't you report it to the authorities?"

Tie Zhuangsheng sneered, and said: "The position of the head of Shimen Village has always been in the hands of the Shi family. Their relationship with the government office is extraordinary, and they can turn right and wrong at any time. If my family reports to the official, the dead will be killed." It's not just my dad."

Zheng Yue'e and the others were silent, unlike Yan Lin, who grew up on the mountain and didn't know the dangers of this world.

Tie Zhuangsheng paused for a while, seeing that Yan Lin didn't speak any more, he continued:

"My mother endured the humiliation and brought me up. I also worked very hard to get the honor of a scholar, but if I want to continue to take the exam, there is no way to get good grades without the help of all parties."

"So I chose to go back to the village and become a teacher in a private school."

"However, after so many years, the villagers with the surname Shi have bullied us villagers with mixed surnames more and more, so I want to run for the village head and change the fate of the villagers with mixed surnames."
