Chapter 45: Personal Testification
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
This time, Village Chief Meng Bai was truly stunned. No matter how he tried to think, he couldn’t understand why would Li Zhuangshi give the Rock Formation Illustration to the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad.
The Rock Formation Illustration was the biggest advantage of the Southern Mountain Village.
After Ding Qingshan and the rest’s experiments, their hunting yield was indeed much greater than before. Li Zhuangshi giving the Rock Formation Illustration to the Northern Mountain Village… what was his purpose?
For money?
That’s not possible. If Li Zhuangshi and the Northern Mountain Village really underwent this trade, why would Zhang Yangping expose him?
Furthermore, why are Zhang Yangping and Fang Zhengzhi together? Furthermore, he even said that he was here to help Fang Zhengzhi testify. What was this all about?
A never-ending stream of questions caused Village Chief Meng Bai to have completely no idea what was going on.
”Yangping, please clarify what you had just said!” Village Chief Meng Bai picked up the illustration Zhang Yangping handed over. Looking at it, his face changed again. Because, this illustration was real.
Zhang Yangping knew that Village Chief Meng Bai would ask, hence already prepared his answer.
Thus, without missing out anything, he narrated how Li Zhuangshi secretly passed him the map, and then provided him information about Fang Zhengzhi’s whereabouts.
”So, you actually intended to ambush Fang Zhengzhi?” Village Chief Meng Bai almost didn’t dare to believe it.
”Yes!” Zhang Yangping nodded. Looking at Fang Zhengzhi who was at his side, his expression revealed a trace of guilt.
Village Chief didn’t say anything further. He grasped the cigar on his hand tightly, his withered palms even turning white from using too much strength.
Li Zhuangshi…
Why would you do this?
”Wife… get Li Zhuangshi and the Mrs Li over, and, at the same time call Fang Houde and Mrs Fang over as well. Don’t let anyone know about this!”
After giving his instructions, Village Chief Meng Bai once again moodily smoked his cigar. Pacing around in his small room, his expression was extremely anxious and he didn’t pay any further attention to Zhang Yangping and Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi thought, since village chief had already called over his own parents, then there shouldn’t be much of a problem. Hence, he relaxed and smiled cheerfully, then leaned comfortably on the chair.
Zhang Yangping came today to testify, hence naturally he had already prepared to confront Li Zhuangshi personally. Thus, he also waited quietly for Li Zhuangshi to arrive.
...
Not too long later, Fang Houde, holding his walking stick and supported by Qin Xuelian, walked in.
Once Qin Xuelian saw Fang Zhengzhi lying on the chair, and Zhang Yangping sited beside him, then Village Chief Meng Bai anxiously pacing around, she was startled. Did Zhengzhi cause a trouble?
”Village chief, Zhengzhi is still young… if he caused any trouble, we are willing to assume responsibility!” Qin Xuelian immediately shouted out.
When Village Chief Meng Bai, who was smoking his cigar gloomily, heard this, he became even more anxious and waved his hand furiously. ”Mrs Fang, please take a seat first…”
”Brother Yangping, did my son offend you in any way?” Fang Houde recognised Zhang Yangping and asked worriedly
”Oh, little brother Zhengzhi is your son?” When Zhang Yangping saw Fang Houde, he was similarly taken aback. He was quite familiar with Fang Houde’s personality, simple and kind, during every hunt he would definitely be at the front. He used to be a strong member of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad, unfortunately, a few years ago, the Blue Fire Wolf…
Once he thought of the Blue Fire Wolf, Zhang Yangping’s eyes gazed at Fang Zhengzhi, who was sitting at the side.
”Houde… you have nurtured a great son!”
