By the time Feng Xuxu arrived, the village chief had already caught Feng Eryu and Feng Santian red-handed, having just finished poisoning the crops, and secured both perpetrators.
The commotion of capturing the poisoners was not small and alerted the villagers. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall with torches in hand, watching Feng Eryu and Feng Santian tied to the pillars.
"Uncle Feng, open the door, hurry up, your two sons have been captured by the village chief," Feng Zhu muttered as he forcefully knocked on Feng Youcai's front door.
Upon hearing this, Feng Youcai nearly fainted, and he staggered to the entrance of the ancestral hall. Seeing the throngs of people calling out for reporting to the officials and other similar remarks, his heart chilled—he realized that their deeds had been exposed.
"Village Chief, such people must not be tolerated," someone said.
