It is not easy for everyone to live here. We are a family here, and we should work together to resist foreign enemies, instead of doing some shady tricks behind our backs. If this kind of black sheep remains in the village, we don’t know what trouble will happen in the future, so we must strictly investigate! "
Huang Shangxiang's expression changed: "How...how to check?"
Luo Zhanyu said: "It's easy. There are forty-one people in the whole village including Gu Xijiu. Just confront each other. Sister-in-law Leng, who did you hear this rumor from?"
When he lowered his face, he had a great aura, and everyone present admired him, so they naturally followed his arrangements, so everyone pointed out who they heard the story from...
With such evidence one after another, the final clue led to Huang Shangxiang.
Huang Shangxiang's face was pale, but she couldn't tell who she heard what she said, because except for the people from the collection group, everyone was present, so no one would recognize her random testimony.
As soon as she made up her mind, she casually named a person in the collection group. Since the other person was not at the scene, she wanted to fool him this time before talking about it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xijiu pursed her lips and said lightly: "I'll ask that person to come down."
The figures moved together and disappeared.
Huang Shangxiang: "..."
Before half a minute had passed, Gu Xijiu appeared again, this time bringing back the person Huang Shangxiang was talking about.
The man was obviously confused when he came down and didn't understand what happened. When Luo Zhanyu explained the matter, the man was furious and glared at Huang Shangxiang: "When did I tell you this? I started talking to you yesterday. I haven’t talked to you, okay?! My brother can vouch for me on this. After I came back yesterday, I drank with my good brothers. After drinking, I went to bed. I went out to collect this morning, and I didn’t see you at all!”
Now that things have come to this point, it's obvious who is the person spreading the rumors.
Luo Zhanyu said coldly: "Huang Shangxiang, what else do you have to say?"
Huang Shangxiang was a little panicked, and I didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, she used the mourning policy: "Yes... I saw Miss Gu being surrounded by them like stars holding the moon, and then I saw Miss Gu I said a few more words to Captain Leng, so... So I misunderstood and told my suspicions as facts... I really didn't mean it, it was just a slip of the tongue... "
Luo Zhanyu's eyes showed disappointment, and he said calmly: "Huang Shangxiang, I originally wanted to give you a chance. As long as you sincerely admit your mistakes and ask for Miss Gu's forgiveness, maybe I won't punish you too harshly... But I didn't expect you to Now you are still full of lies! You are really hopeless!"
He told the people around him: "Zhang Rui, prepare five days of food for her and send her away."
There is no way out here, so sending her away means sending her into the mountains behind and leaving her to fend for herself.
There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and usually everyone goes hunting in groups. Now sending her there alone would undoubtedly lead to her death.
Huang Shangxiang obviously did not expect to be punished so severely. She finally panicked and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly: "Brother Luo, I know I was wrong! Since I have liked you for so many years, I often tailor and cook for you. For your sake, please spare me this time, I won’t dare to do it again!”
After all, there are few girls here, and unmarried girls are as precious as pandas.
