Chapter 379: Wanting to Turn the Tables_1

To draft the document, the presence of these witnesses alone would have sufficed; however, for a village matter, Lian Shouxin felt it was best to also invite the Lizheng, both neighboring families, several village elders, and Master Shanyuan, the Abbot of the temple at the head of the village.

That he required so many witnesses to attest to the matter indicated that subconsciously, he was wary of being entangled again.

The onlookers outside had not yet dispersed at this time, and upon hearing that witnesses needed to be summoned, some enthusiastic villagers volunteered to run errands. Most of the witnesses were within the village, some even within the crowd of onlookers, so in a short while, all had arrived.

For penning the document, they did not trouble anyone else and simply asked Shopkeeper Wu for help. The Lian Family had frequent dealings with Shopkeeper Wu and knew that he wrote with fine penmanship and had a great skill in choosing words.
