Early the next morning, Lin Daiyu had dark circles under her eyes and ate breakfast listlessly.
Song Qian didn't sleep all night, but she was a martial arts practitioner after all, so she could survive without sleeping for several days, but she didn't show signs of exhaustion.
"Can't you get used to sleeping in an inn?" Song Xuan asked while drinking tofu nao.
"Hmm~~"
Lin Daiyu replied with some embarrassment. She was so fascinated by the story last night that she pestered her cousin to tell the story of the White Snake in the middle of the night. By the time she finished telling it, it was already dark.
"We'll take a walk around the city later and see what you want to buy. We'll go back to the ship in the afternoon and you can catch up on your sleep."
Song Xuan briefly talked about today's plan and stopped talking.
For young people, staying up all night is not a big deal. He can understand if he stays up all night occasionally.
After having breakfast and checking out of the room, a few people walked around the county town. When they passed near the county government office, they heard the sound of drums.
"Is this someone beating a drum to complain?"
Song Qian curiously looked at the county government office and discovered to her surprise that they actually knew the man playing the drum.
It was the bride who had toasted them last night.
But at this moment, the bride looked in very bad condition, her clothes were ragged and unkempt, there were obvious scars on her arms and legs, and the marks of the slap on her face were clearly visible.
Soon, the drum beat stopped, and some servants rushed out from the yamen, dragging the bride into the yamen lobby. Soon, shrill screams came from inside.
"It is unconscionable to disregard human life!"
"Guan Guan, you will not die a happy death!"
Along with it, there was the sound of hitting the board.
On the street, someone saw this scene, shook his head and lamented, "What did this woman think? The county government couldn't even hide, but she dared to go and beat the drum to complain?"
Someone seemed to know something and said: "I heard that there were several murders in Huiquan Village. This woman should be the survivor who came to report the crime."
"It's a pity that if it falls into the hands of Sun Papi, he will be skinned even if he doesn't die!"
Listening to the discussion around her, Song Qian's expression changed and she turned to look at Song Xuan, "Brother, do you care about this matter?"
"Tube!"
Song Xuan's expression became serious. The newlyweds who had invited him to a wedding banquet and congratulations last night were suddenly involved in a murder case. Once this happened, he had to take care of it.
When they arrived in front of the county government office, a government official stopped a few people. One of them, who looked like a class leader, didn't even look at Song Xuan. His eyes kept rolling on Song Qian and Lin Daiyu.
Song Xuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, kicked him away, and then stepped in.
"Someone is attacking the government!"
In the county government office, other government officials who saw this scene immediately rushed out with water and fire sticks, but Song Xuan casually grabbed a stick, one at a time, and beat away the minions blocking the way.
"Who are you? Are you trying to rebel against the county government?"
In the hall, the fat-headed county magistrate hurriedly stood up and shouted to the Yamen servant who was still standing outside: "Go and ask the magistrate to bring people to arrest the thief!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the government servants outside were all knocked to the ground by Song Qian's palm, lying on the ground half-dead and wailing.
Song Xuan's palm reached out like lightning, pinched the fat magistrate's neck and lifted him into the air.
But the next moment, he threw the man to the ground in disgust and stepped on his fat face with one foot.
Song Qian stepped forward, helped the beaten bride up, smoothed her messy hair, and said gently: "Do you still remember us?"
The bride looked at Song Qian blankly, her somewhat distracted eyes gradually brightened, and tears could not stop flowing on her cheeks.
"They're all dead, sister, my whole family is dead!"
Song Qian wiped her tears and said, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly, don't worry, we are here and we will definitely seek justice for you!"
The bride shed tears while recounting what happened last night.
"After the banquet dispersed and everyone in the village left, two people suddenly came outside the door."
"A young man, an old man in his fifties. The young man claimed to be the governor's son. He missed the inn because he was traveling, so he wanted to stay at our house for a night."
"My father-in-law was kind-hearted, so he kept them overnight. Who knew that they were not humans, but animals!"
Speaking of this, the bride gritted her teeth with a look of resentment on her face, "In the middle of the night when the wedding was supposed to take place, my husband's neck was broken by the old man next to the county guard.
Then, the two of them raped me together! "
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law heard the commotion and came to check, but they were also beaten to death!"
"Even my nine-year-old brother-in-law, they didn't let go. The old guy smashed the Tianling Gai with one palm!"
Song Xuan frowned and said, "They didn't kill you?"
"No! They left after dawn. The son of the county guard said that I could sue at will. He likes to see other people's despair with no way to go to heaven or earth!"
Song Xuan kicked the fat man at his feet and said coldly: "You know about this, right?"
The fat man had a tangled look on his face, but after feeling the force on Song Xuan's feet getting stronger and stronger, his inner defenses completely collapsed.
"Hero, I know, I know!
The county guard came to my place early in the morning and said that he had caused some trouble in the village below and asked me to wipe his butt!
When I asked, I found out how many murders had been committed. The key was that someone was still alive. The county guard said that he had a good time last night. He liked the bride's fierceness very much and asked me to find any reason to lock her up. He will come and play again when he has time!
Hero, that's the thing. I didn't kill the person. It has nothing to do with me. I was just following orders. Don't kill me. Don't kill me! "
Song Xuan looked at the bride and said, "Girl, do you want this man to live or die?"
"Death! I want him to die!"
Song Xuan nodded slightly, "As you wish!"
The next moment, he raised his foot and stamped it suddenly, and heard the sound of broken bones. Before the magistrate could even utter a sound, his neck was broken by the foot.
Kill as soon as you say it, so swiftly and swiftly that both Lin Daiyu and the bride were stunned.
"Cousin, if you kill the imperial official directly, will you be in trouble?"
"There will be some trouble!"
Song Xuan took out a few black silk scarves from his arms and said, "So, please join me and become a gangster!"
After covering his face, Song Xuan glanced at the bride and said, "Let's go, first go to your house to see the situation, and then deal with the rest of the matter."
Song Qian didn't talk nonsense at all. She picked up the bride who was covered in scars, walked quickly outside, touched the ground with her toes, and used Qinggong to land directly on the roof.
Then, she kept jumping on the rooftops like a spiritual ape, and in just a few breaths, she disappeared at the end of the street.
In the county government office, Song Xuan glanced at Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu's face covered with a black scarf was a little red, and she whispered: "Cousin, slow down, I'm afraid I'll faint..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt herself being carried on Song Xuan's shoulders. The next moment, the sound of howling wind could be heard in her ears.
Lin Daiyu was blown away by the wind and could not open her eyes. She only had one thought in her mind:
Fast, too fast...
