It seemed the entire county was running toward Wo Laicai's house. People shouted as they ran, swapping information with anyone they passed.
"They found the body inside a cellar wall! The flesh hasn't even rotted away; you can still make out his face."
"Poor things. The merchant's parents searched and searched. They couldn't find him, dead or alive. The old couple was still looking for him elsewhere, holding out hope. This news will destroy them."
"That wicked Wo Laicai! He always seemed so friendly, and his two brothers are both Scholars. Turns out he was a murderer and a robber all along. I'm so lucky to be alive... he used to call me 'brother.' I could've been his next victim!"
The crowd was immense. They were still half a street away from Wo Laicai's house, but they couldn't push any further.
