Chapter 656 Don’t we have a share too?

Feng Zihang collected all the money that was on the ground and only then did he look up. " Thank you, I was so surprised by what happened, I thought that I was going to lose it all——" it was only then did he realise what a blunder he has made, he was slowly getting used to having so much money that he forgot that a poor villager like him cannot have so much money at hand. His face slowly turned awkward as he stood up from the ground and said, " All right, then I think I will be going back to my house, I mean it's already so late… we should be sleeping at the moment."

With that, he tried to run away from the spot but Village head Luo was faster than him, as he narrowed his eyes and clamped a hand on Feng Zihang's shoulder and stopped him from running away. " Feng Zihang, where do you think you are going?"

" What do you mean by that Village head?"

'Don't be scared, there is nothing for you to be scared of, as long as you pretend to be a fool, what can they even do without any proof? It's not like they will execute me for having so much money? I haven't murdered or committed arson for the sake of this sum of money right?

Feng Zihang turned to look at the Village head with a smile as he tilted his head and smiled. " Did I do anything wrong?"

Village head Luo was stunned by the calm that Feng Zihang was showing in front of him but he didn't let it faze him instead, he turned to look at Feng Zihang with a stern expression as he said, " What do you mean by if anything is wrong or not, where did you get that some of the money? It's like twenty thousand or something silver taels, how can a commoner like you have that much sum of money?"

" What do you mean by that saying this Village head Luo?" said Feng Zihang sounding a bit indignant as if he was really upset with the questioning as he clutched the money in his pockets. " Why are you asking me such questions? Is it a crime for me to have so much money? Its not right? So why are you interrogating me like this, I have done nothing to get this sum of money all right, it came from legal sources."

" That's exactly what I wanted to know," said Village head Luo as he looked at Feng Zihang with a stern expression pinning in the spot where he was standing. " I want to know what exactly is that source who was generous enough to give a lazy good for nothing like you so much money to keep, you see, there is nothing personal."

" What do you mean by nothing personal, if anything I think you are purposely making things difficult for me, village head Luo," snapped Feng Zihang as he tightly clutched the money in his pockets, he was afraid that if he was even a beat slower the money will be taken away from him. " I have done nothing wrong, so why am I being questioned like this?"

" Because I have seen your entire three generations Feng Zihang, none of you have worked so hard that you will suddenly have twenty golden taels in hands!" shot back Village head Luo. " If you cannot tell me where you get the money from then I will have no choice but to call the officers because in our village only one family can have this much sum of money! Without a proper explanation, I cannot let you go all right?"

His words weren't without any base either, Feng Zihang's grandfather, father and uncles all of them were farmers and no one from their famously had an official in the bloodline of their family. For their family to have so much money in hand, it was indeed suspicious.

" What are you trying to say? That I stole this much sum of money from the Lin house? Have you forgotten that the house is where the witch lives! Why will I do something so risky?" Feng Zihang oh so desperately cried out but this time no one believed him, at first they believed him because they thought that Feng Zihang didn't have a purpose behind kicking the Lin family out but in case of him being a thief who stole so much money from the Lin family then it will explain why he wanted to kick their family out.

" No wonder he said that she is a witch," said Old Chao sounding both angry and disappointed, they were being supportive of Feng Zihang because they thought that he was a fellow victim of the witch, like them but now they seemed to have come to a realisation that may be Feng Zihang was never the victim of anything, in fact, he seemed to be the mastermind behind the plot and making them dance to his rhythm.

Feng Zihang also understood that he was being doubted, so he hurriedly pulled another excuse that would be far more believable. " What nonsense are you all thinking? This is our family's treasure, I and my mother have inherited this treasure from our father who inherited it from his forefathers, and we have been saving it for a very long time. It's our family's entire generation of wealth so of course, it's a lot of money."

His excuse was pretty lame but the Feng family has been living in this village for a very long time even Feng Zihang's great grandfather lived here. And his family line can be traced back to fifty years or so, and with all of them being dead there was no way anyone could call Feng Zihang on his bluff.

" Oh is that so?" A new voice chimed in and that voice was enough to make Feng Zihang stiffen. " Is that the treasure of our family, cousin Zihang?" asked Feng Dai as he walked towards Feng Zihang with a smile. " If so then don't I and my brother have a share in that too?"
