Chapter 454 Stalemate, Unexpected

But if the two villages really start fighting, things will get out of control.

Just as the two groups were on the verge of conflict, a group of people suddenly arrived. Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized them as the garrison troops stationed on the back of Crescent Moon Mountain.

"What's going on? What were you two village secretaries thinking? You just stood by and watched the people cause such a huge commotion!"

"Are you guys planning a brawl? Put your weapons down, all of you!"

The person who arrived was Zhai Gang. Originally, this matter was not his responsibility, but as the direct supervisor who had recently taken charge of this area, he had no choice but to take charge.

If these people were to start fighting right under his nose, it would be a huge problem.

Although the villagers of the two villages had reached a point of near-war, they were still somewhat intimidated by the sight of their armed soldiers.

Although weapons control is not as strict as it is in later generations, many families in the rural mountainous areas of Northeast China still have hunting rifles and air guns.

But against a regular army, they still have no advantage and can be easily wiped out.

Moreover, he is a legitimate leader, and the village secretary of Mujia Village knows him.

After all, the previous spy case had made them infamous in the area. They're still searching for spies all over the mountains.

The villagers of Mujia Village were also instructed to behave themselves and not cause trouble outside.

Unexpectedly, not long after giving the instructions, Mu Laohei's incident occurred.

Now, facing this garrison, the people of Mujia Village dared not say anything more.

But the village party secretary naturally had to explain the whole story clearly:

"Commander, we had no choice! Several men in our village have died suddenly. They were the pillars of their respective families. The sky has fallen for these families!"

"What else can we do but demand an explanation?"

Zhai Gang frowned as he looked at the white cloths covering the corpses.

He felt something was off, so he went straight to the bodies and began to examine them closely.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these individuals had been bitten by venomous snakes.

Looking at their purple faces and black lips, isn't that what poisoning looks like?

The answer is obvious: these people were not beaten to death, but bitten to death by poisonous snakes!

Just as he was about to speak, a huge explosion suddenly came from Crescent Moon Mountain Village.

Upon hearing this, the villagers of Crescent Moon Mountain realized that the voice came from the location of the Bai family's old residence, and everyone present was immediately startled!
