After Xiao Feng's questioning and verbal reminders, Tie Wa quickly understood the cause of his stomach ache and subsequent fainting. His gaze toward Tie Yanmin turned hostile.
"What a vicious heart you have!" Tie Yidao glared nacingly at Tie Yanmin, as if ready to strike him with a knife at any mont.
However, all the knives in his house, except for the one used by the cook, had been hidden away, so there was no worry about a serious incident occurring.
"I didn't poison anyone!" Tie Yanmin retorted, his face red and neck bulging, "I ant well. When I saw Brother Tiewa hadn't eaten, I ca up with this way to coax him into eating sothing."
As soon as these words were out, the room was filled with hisses.
Tie Yanmin's reputation in Iron Village was indeed notorious.
At least in most people's eyes, he could have any kind of heart except a kind one.
Seeing that most people present didn't believe him, Tie Yanmin raised his voice, "I don't understand, why would you, my neighbors for so many years, suspect of poisoning?
But these two outsiders, ever since they arrived, our village has been in turmoil, and this ti it almost cost a life.
Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Then explain why you are linked with both incidents?
Let's not talk about the previous matter, just look at this one.
If you hadn't co, nothing would have happened.
But you did, and soone got poisoned.
Is it such a coincidence?"
"Anyway, it wasn't who poisoned, and you don't have proof that I did," Tie Yanmin denied again.
Xiao Feng squinted his eyes and smiled, "You think I can't find evidence?"
With that, he gave Sun Shijie a glance.
Sun Shijie understood and handed a grayish pill to Tie Wa, signaling him to take it.
The woman holding Tie Wa reflexively tried to throw the pill away, shouting, "Don't eat it!"
Tie Wa quickly grasped the pill in his hand and calmly said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll be fine!"
After speaking, he opened his mouth and swallowed the gray pill.
Tie Yanmin swallowed unnaturally, feeling a bit nervous.
Could they really have found evidence?
Probably not, right?
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Tie Wa began to vomit without warning.
His mother beside him scread at the sight and, in a frenzy, grabbed a hoe from the corner and charged at Xiao Feng and Sun Shijie.
"Her emotions are too unstable, better let her sleep for a while," Sun Shijie said leisurely.
This remark was obviously directed at Tie Yidao, lest causing another stir if he knocked his wife unconscious without a word.
"Old man, don't just stand there, move aside!" soone kindly reminded.
But Sun Shijie didn't dodge. As the hoe swung down, he sidestepped and lightly tapped the back of Tie Wa's mother's neck.
Instantly, she went limp as if she'd lost all her bones.
Tie Yidao quickly ran over, caught his wife, and turned to carry her inside.
"Hold on!" Sun Shijie interrupted, pulling a needle pack from his backpack and retrieving two silver needles. He pricked Tie Wa's mother's head twice and explained, "This will help relax her spirit."
Tie Yidao said nothing, glanced at Tie Wa to see he was okay, and then took his wife inside first.
Once Tie Wa finished vomiting, Sun Shijie asked for a shovel and a plastic bag.
Chen Li imdiately understood and, without anyone's help, shoveled the vomited buns into the plastic bag.
"Now we have the evidence. Even if you don't confess, we can still convict you without your testimony," Xiao Feng chuckled.
Tie Yanmin's face turned pale instantly. He staggered back two steps and plopped onto the ground, looking like his soul had left his body.
At this mont, Tie Nongbao and Chang Xiuling finally arrived.
As soon as they entered the yard, they sensed that sothing was wrong, and then saw their son's expression…
The couple exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.
"Everyone is here, it's ti to settle this matter," Xiao Feng spoke calmly, "Let recount what I know. Wherever there's an issue or sothing doesn't feel right, everyone can analyze it themselves."
He then began to recount the series of events that had occurred since entering the village.
In fact, if Tie Wa was smart enough, he would see that Xiao Feng was willing to put so much effort into talking here for him and his family.
Rumors are terrifying, and words can kill.
Currently, many people are spreading rumors that Tie Yidao's retribution was due to taking too many lives. If such gossip isn't stopped, they will be pointed at and judged everywhere they go.
Then Tie Yidao and his wife would no longer be able to appear in the village.
Tie Nongbao's face was gloomy, and Chang Xiuling's face was also stern.
People around were shocked because both the deceased Little Five and the son-in-law Old Donkey were all from the Tie family, which was considered close kin.
Even rabbits don't eat the grass around their burrows, much less should a family sche against each other like this. It's truly lantable!
"Everything...I instructed him to do it," Chang Xiuling said through gritted teeth.
She knew well that even admitting all the guilt herself wouldn't spare her son from legal punishnt, but she still chose to do so to lessen his penalty.
anwhile, the parents of the other seven people began beating their sons when they learned about the robbery, hitting and cursing them simultaneously.
Xiao Feng glanced at Chang Xiuling, feeling a bit lancholic.
This woman was hard to define as good or bad, but undoubtedly selfish.
To protect her son, she plotted for him to "kill" once more, her heart no less vicious.
Similarly, to protect her son, she was willing to step up and take the bla.
No doubt, until now, she regrets not advising her son to kill, but rather regrets not doing it herself, dragging her son into it.
Tie Nongbao looked at Tie Yidao and pleaded, "For the sake of our family connection, can we talk privately?"
"Talk to your mother!"
Tie Yidao punched forward, yelling angrily, "You still know we're family?
My second child's death I could consider an accident, but you even tried to kill my only son! How dare you talk to about family ties?!"
This ti, those who stepped in to stop Tie Yidao were clearly just going through the motions.
And Tie Nongbao didn't fight back, simply taking the blows and curses.
Sotis one wrong step leads to another!
Although there were many chances in between to turn back, choosing to keep going wrong made any words useless.
Just then, a terrified scream rang out.
"Ahhh!" Tie Yanmin watched as a fist grew larger in his line of sight and yelled, "Dad! Mom! Save !"
And the owner of the fist was none other than Tie Wa.
So people tried to intervene, but unfortunately, Tie Wa's punching speed was too fast for anyone to stop him in ti.
