After returning to the hiding place, he moved the bodies of Tang Yao and others to one place, bowed his head to them and said silently: "Master Tang, I failed to identify the demon, which caused your death. Song Xin hereby swears that the person behind the scenes will be killed." Behead and avenge your lord. This green mountain should be the place where loyal bones are buried..."
Song Xin finished reciting silently, then took out a shovel and started digging the grave. Although he and Tang Yao had not known each other for a short time, they also had a friendship as colleagues in the school administration. But just as Song Xin put down the shovel, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside.
A group of soldiers walked in outside. They obviously didn't expect that there was someone here. One of the team leaders stepped forward, put his hand on the handle of the knife and asked alertly: "Who are you and why are you at the scene of the murder? The rest of the people are waiting to avoid it, why don't you move away quickly!"
Song Xin was also puzzled as to why these soldiers suddenly came here. This place was remote and secretive, so they definitely didn't discover it by chance on patrol. "
Song Xin cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are finally here. I am about to report to the official."
The team leader was startled and frowned as he looked at the shovel in Song Xin's hand and the hole he had just dug a few times. He sneered and asked: "Report to the official? Haven't there been people in your town who have come to report to the official? Otherwise, why would we be here?"
Song Xin was confused by this question. Everyone in the town had disappeared inexplicably. Why did he report to the official again?
The team leader said: "Someone came to report that a murderer was killing people, and he also killed several school officials in the school office. When we passed by this place, we found corpses, so we came in to check."
"What?" Song Xin was stunned.
A soldier stared at Song Xin, walked up to the team leader and whispered in his ear: "Sir, don't you think this boy looks very similar to the murderer they said?"
The team leader was stunned and looked at Song Xin with a frown. After a few seconds, he shouted loudly, "The murderer dares to come back. Take it down quickly! Go back and hand it over to Mr. Sima Beitun!"
The soldiers roared and surrounded Song Xin.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't ask so many questions, come with us. If you are unjustly accused, I will naturally tell the difference and take it! If you dare to resist arrest, you will be killed on the spot!" The team leader gave the order, and the soldiers rushed over and arrested He grabbed Song Xin's arm.
Song Xin was both annoyed and amused. The people he met today were all so indifferent to black and white...
Just as he was about to resist, he suddenly thought about it, maybe this matter had something to do with the scholar's accomplice! He immediately gave up the idea of resisting and allowed the soldiers to tie him up.
They collected the bodies of Tang Yao and others and took Song Xin back to Sima's official office in Beitun. When he got outside the door, Song Xin was dumbfounded. There were dozens of people kneeling here, and most of them were women from the previous town. I never expected that they would all arrive here.
They all looked sad, as if they had been greatly wronged. Suddenly someone saw Song Xin being escorted over and immediately jumped up and shouted: "The murderer has been caught! The murderer has been caught!!!"
For a moment, all the kneeling women looked filled with indignation and rushed towards Song Xin together like a pack of hungry wolves. The team leader shouted at them to retreat, but these people couldn't listen. The crowd dispersed the soldiers in an instant. The first to suffer were several women, who screamed and tore Song Xin's sleeves and cried loudly.
"Give my daughter her life!"
"Give my husband his life!"
"Your Excellency must make decisions for civilian women!"

It seemed that the death of their relatives was not because they believed in a cult, but because of Song Xin. However, Song Xin was prepared for this situation. He stood silently and these people could not hurt him at all. Her consciousness also swept over the townspeople one by one, and finally locked on a young man whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of the scholar.
The leader of the team was furious, pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted: "Get out of here! Why are you making such a fuss! I'll call you in to testify in a while, and you guys won't speak again! Shut up now!"
When everyone saw the official being angry, they were all frightened. Then they gave up their anger and knelt down, not daring to speak. But his eyes were still fixed on Song Xin, wanting to tear him into pieces.
Seeing all this, Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh: "Oh... you saved their lives, but they hate you so much. It's better to let Yasha kill them all, it would be more clean."
Song Yu was also very angry, "That's right, the young master is too kind and can't bear to kill them. But not everyone in this world deserves sympathy!"
Song Xin was pushed into the government office. At this time, next to the head of the Chen family, a young man who looked like a servant quietly reminded him in his ear: "Please remember what to say when you go in. Don't make any mistakes."
The head of the Chen family nodded repeatedly and promised in a low voice, "Remember everything, remember everything." As he said that, the fat man's eyes shot out two sinister and cunning eyes, staring at Song Xin's back. , gritted his teeth and said: "Boy, just wait to die."
But they didn't notice that Song Xin's ears twitched slightly. He turned around and smiled at the young man.
The young man trembled and quickly lowered his head.
After walking into the Beitun Sima Yamen Office, he was sent directly to a small room behind the main hall of the Yamen Office. He was surprised that he was not taken into the main hall where the case was heard. There was a middle-aged man in official uniform in the room, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Song Xin walking in, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Hurry up and untie him!" the man scolded, and then the team leader hurriedly put on a smile and came up to untie Song Xin. Then he retreated to the door and waited for orders.
"Sir, what does this mean?" Song Xin asked.
"Sima is in Xiabeitun. His surname is Wu Mingzhou and his courtesy name is Ziguo. He has long heard about Song Xin, the attendant of Mr. Chong, but he has never been able to meet him."
"Sir Sima Beitun, I wonder why you chose this place when you arrested me for questioning?"
With a smile on his face, Wu Ziguo took Song Xin's hand very affectionately, asked him to sit down, and then said: "These unscrupulous people outside came to sue the young master, saying that you killed their relatives and the school officials of the Dian School Department. Although I don’t know the details, I don’t really believe it. But this is a government matter. Even if I feel that I have been wronged, I can’t just let him go.”
Song Xin listened quietly. When Wu Ziguo saw that he didn't answer any questions, his smile disappeared and changed to a sad look. He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, what a pity!"
Song Xin asked calmly: "I wonder what you regret, sir?"
"It's a pity that these people are all dead. As the saying goes, there is no evidence for death. But they all have witnesses..."

But Wu Ziguo smiled and waved his hands, and said with a confident look: "Why bother, I have a way to ensure that the young master can survive this lawsuit safely."
Song Xin asked curiously: "Oh? Sir, please tell me

. "
"Young master, you might as well admit that you accidentally killed someone, and then stay here for a while. Let me have a chance to mediate. By then, the news of this matter has subsided, and then you can find insufficient evidence and release me in court. In this way, you will be released in court. You can go home." He paused, as if this was not enough, and added: "Young Master, you can rest assured that I will provide you with good food and drink, and I will not wrong Young Master Song."
After saying that, he looked at Song Xin expectantly and asked, "Mr. Song, what do you think?"
Song Xin looked at Wu Ziguo, who looked respectful and harmless to humans and animals, and asked, "You want me to plead guilty?"
"Just plead guilty to accidental injury." Wu Ziguo added with a smile.
Song Xin was sneering secretly in his heart at this time: "You old fox, you really think that I am a naive child who doesn't understand anything. Now that I have confessed, won't I be at your mercy?"
Xiaoyu also smiled and said: "Humph, he really deceived you like a child. Song Xin, what are you going to do?"
Song Xin said: "I have a way. This old fox must be related to the Three Saints Sect. I have killed so many people from the Three Saints Sect. They must hate me to the core and conspire with this old fox to deceive me."
After a while, Song Xin said: "Sir, this matter is of great importance. Can you allow me to think about it for a moment alone?"
Wu Ziguo's expression changed slightly, and immediately returned to normal, "Well, that's good. I'll prepare some food and wine to calm the young master's shock."
After saying that, he led the team leader out and walked out not far. The team leader walked up to Wu Ziguo and whispered in Wu Ziguo's ear: "Sir, why don't you just put him in jail? Why do you still treat him politely?" treat?"
Wu Ziguo snorted softly and said: "He is Mr. Cao's son after all, and he is also very close to the Guo family. Have you forgotten about Tian Zheng?"
"Adults are still thoughtful, while villains are not, hehe."
Their conversation failed to escape Song Xin's ears, and he already had a plan in mind.
"Song Yu, come out."
...
After a while, the door opened and Song Xin poked his head out and smiled at the two of them: "Sir, I've thought about it."
When Wu Ziguo saw Song Xin's expression was natural and even a little happy, a stone hanging in his heart was relieved. This boy really didn't have much power. But he didn't notice that this Song Xin seemed a little different from before.
Song Xin looked at Wu Ziguo with a smile, "Sir, I have thought about it carefully just now, and I feel that what you said does make some sense. Then I can go to court and plead guilty to accidental injury first."
Wu Ziguo was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, young master! I will go to court now, and then the young master will only need to plead guilty as agreed and draw a bond."
"Sir, don't you ask the plaintiff and defendant, don't you listen to the arguments of all parties?" Song Xin asked, with a hint of joking in his tone.
"Oh, this is not difficult. Young Master can rest here and leave the rest to me!"
After Wu Ziguo left, Song Xin walked to the door, only to find two tall and tall soldiers standing at the door holding swords. Seeing that Song Xin was about to come out, they stretched out their hands to stop him and said: "Master, please go back and have a rest, Mr. Wu." Go and come back."
"Oh, oh." Song Xin nodded and retreated. When he returned to the house, the two soldiers did not notice that a wisp of breeze blew by them and an invisible figure quietly walked past them...
