Li Tieniu looked at the two dead people.
His face was deathly pale; this time, he had truly caused a major disaster.
The villagers were dead silent.
All eyes were on Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The only one here with any insight was Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Besides Mr. Jiang, who else could come up with an idea for them?
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around.
"Since we've already killed two, we might as well go all the way and kill them all. It's not too late to make it so that no one hears, no one sees, who would know they died in our village? It would prevent them from going back to report us."
The four government officials were petrified.
This was a plan to kill them to silence the witnesses.
They didn't want to die.
"No, no, we won't say anything, really, we won't say anything. Steward Wang and Official Gao, they were... they were..."
The officials were scrambling to save their lives, but even as their eyes darted around, they couldn't come up with a good excuse.
