Li Zhuangshi’s face changed once again. He knew very clearly that if Qin Xuelian announced this incident, he would definitely be denounced by the entire village, and even exiled from the village.
"Village chief! I didn’t reveal Fang Zhengzhi’s whereabouts to Zhang Yangping. The illustration was indeed given by me, but that was because I have my own sorrows. Firstly, it is for the peace between the two villages. Secondly, it is about the money Zhang Yangping promised to give me. I did something silly for the sake of my studies, but now, Zhang Yangping evidently regretted, and ganged up with Fang Zhengzhi to sabotage me!"
Li Zhuangshi could only refuse to admit, and made use of the situation to put forth his own ideas, pushing all the blame onto Fang Zhengzhi and Zhang Yangping.
"Hmph! You say my Zhengzhi and Zhang Yangping ganged up to sabotage you? If you can say this, where’s your evidence?" Qin Xuelian instantly stood up.
