Song Xin retreated from Jia's house in despair, still feeling depressed. It felt like someone had been beaten and driven out like a dog.
Fortunately, Lin Danda brought some food and wine, which made him feel a little more comfortable. But thinking that he must have intruded into someone else's territory, there was nothing he could say for being dumb.
Lin Danda poured a glass of wine for Song Xin and said, "Sir, why did you go in and out again tonight?"
Song Xin shook his head, "Don't ask any more about this matter."
Lin Danda asked: "Is the young master a practitioner?"
Song Xin suddenly raised his head, "What did you say? You actually know about practitioners?"
"I heard the young master say 'fellow Taoist' before he left, so I guessed that the young master might be a practitioner. I had a serious illness when I was a child, but a passing alchemist saved my life. From then on, I knew that there are practitioners in this world. , they all call each other Taoist friends... To be honest, young master, I still yearn for people who can practice." His tone was full of envy.
Song Xin said: "There is a practitioner inside, and he discovered me as soon as I entered. Does anyone else know about this?"
"Young master, don't worry, the villain won't tell anything even if he dies. If it's inconvenient for the master to enter Jia's house, there are a few brothers outside the villain. Let them sneak in pretending to be refugees, and they will definitely find out something."
Song Xin said: "Aren't you afraid that the guy who sent the letter will do something to you again?"
"Don't worry, sir. Those brothers don't come here often, so no one will know about them."
Song Xin thought this was a good idea, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful in everything."
Early the next morning, Song Xin arrived at the school office and found Lu Ying. He wants to check about the head letter.
After hearing this, Lu Ying nodded thoughtfully, "Of course I know this. If you ask any school official, they should know it. What's wrong?"
Song Xin explained in detail the characteristics of the corpse and what happened yesterday. Lu Ying frowned and said, "This method is very similar to what Lu Yuncheng and the others did."
"Them?" Although Song Xin also guessed that it was someone from Lu Yuncheng who did it, he didn't understand why these street gangsters were targeted by Lu Yuncheng.
"What did you ask them to do?" Lu Ying asked.
"I just...inquired about some things about Song Chou..."
Lu Ying rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled: "School Minister Song, it seems that this is a warning to you. However, there is indeed something wrong with that Song Chou."
"What did Mr. Lu find?" Song Xin asked.
"I have arranged school affairs to keep an eye on him and Wei Xuan secretly."
Song Xin said happily: "It turns out that Mr. Lu has already..."
He was surprised that this rough-looking man turned out to be such a thoughtful person. No wonder I can sit in this position in the school office.
"Actually, he has been targeted by the school office for a long time. If we don't move him now, we want him to be used as bait to find the people behind him and catch them all."
"That's it. Has that person been found?"
Lu Ying smiled confidently and said: "It is better to come early than to come by chance. I will take you to see a good show today."
Song Xin and Lu Ying changed into casual clothes and came to a wine shop called "Yunmeng Pavilion" on Bingyin Street in Xiangyang. A shopkeeper came up and said, "Boy, what kind of wine would you like?"
Lu Ying said: "Is there thirteen years of Chu wine?"
The store owner smiled and said, "Of course it's available. Please pick it up later."
As they followed the store owner through the front hall of the restaurant, many people who looked like drunkards looked up and stared at the two of them. Song Xin felt that they all had a unique look in their eyes, and they were definitely not ordinary drinkers.
Who is in the mood to come here to drink during this time of war and chaos? These must be school affairs. This place is obviously a secret meeting place for the school office.
Lu Ying and Song Xin turned into another alleyway, and when they reached the end, they discovered a small door at the corner.
A young man seemed to have sensed someone coming and opened the door slightly. When he saw it was Lu Ying, he immediately said respectfully: "Sir, please!"
"Well, are everyone here?"
"We're all here!" the young man said.
The two of them followed the young man who opened the door and walked into the small door. Only then did Song Xin realize that they faced a passage with a watchtower at the end.
"School Master Song, follow me upstairs." Lu Ying smiled, looking confident.
After following Lu Ying up to the watchtower, Song Xin found that the view here was excellent. Lu Ying said to a flag bearer beside him: "Send the message."
"No!" behind the luggage, the flag bearer pulled out a small flag and played a semaphore. Soon after, small flags began to wave on several nearby watchtowers.
Immediately afterwards, I saw several groups of school officials wearing soft armor appearing on the streets and alleys within the surveillance area of the watchtower. They gathered towards a house from different directions.
Immediately afterwards, the flag bearer beside Lu Ying played another flag message, and the nearby watchtower immediately responded. At this time, the school officials from the street had also arrived outside the house.
Several school officials had their backs against the wall and folded their hands on their knees. The other school officials took a running start and stepped on their hands to climb up the wall. Soon after, the door of the house was opened, and the school officials filed in.
"Master Lu, who are you arresting?"
"Song Chou is on the line. If we catch him, we may know the whereabouts of Lu Yuncheng."
"What about Song Chou?"
Lu Ying looked at the sky and said, "By this time, we should have won it."
While he was talking, the clanging sound of weapons clashing and the screams of people could be heard in the house. However, it seemed that the resistance inside was not fierce. In less than a quarter of an hour, there was no movement inside.
Immediately afterwards, I saw several people being escorted out. A large car happened to come out from the corner of the street, and the school officials pushed the people in.
"How about it? Do you want School Secretary Song to interrogate them?" Lu Ying asked with a smile.
Song Xin was a little confused as to why Lu Ying arranged for him to watch the arrest and even asked him to interrogate it. However, he still declined: "My lord, let's do the interrogation. Song Xin has just arrived and he doesn't know how to interrogate him yet. If he says the wrong thing, then wouldn't these brothers' efforts be in vain? Just wait for the news."
Lu Ying seemed to be satisfied with his answer and said, "In that case, Principal Song can go back and rest first."
Song Xin's day was a bit inexplicable. Lu Ying had arranged everything well without knowing it, and only told him when he was arrested. Maybe it was just as he said, to help himself get the credit this time.
At this time, a school official climbed up to the watchtower, knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Ying and said, "Sir, there is something wrong with Song Chou..."
Lu Ying frowned and asked, "Didn't anyone get caught?"
"When the little people got there, Song Chou had already escaped..."
Song Xin was shocked and stood up instinctively.
"You useless thing, get out of here!" Lu Ying was obviously very angry.
Song Xin was also very disappointed and only regretted that Song Chou could not catch him!
Lu Ying said with relief: "You can rest assured about this matter. Lu will issue a document to arrest him immediately. At this time, you must have identification documents when entering and exiting. Lu believes that he must still be in the city."
"How could he run away?" Although he was disappointed, there was nothing he could do.
"It must have been arranged by Lu Yuncheng!" Lu Ying was very convinced.
