Wu Bin still lacked experience; he didn't understand the principle that the law does not punish the masses.
If one or two people beat someone to death, that's fairly easy to judge. A life for a life would suffice.
But if a group of people beat one person to death, that would be very troublesome.
You can't just sentence everyone in the entire village to death because of one person, can you?
So, when the villagers gathered together to do something, they were very united and emotionally charged, and a slight misstep could easily lead to a bloody incident.
Seeing that the villagers' emotions were becoming more and more agitated, Song Ren could only speak up, "Fine, I'll go, I'll send people to the shrine immediately. I just hope everyone will come with us. There's strength in numbers, now this should be satisfactory, right?"
