Chapter 39 If only he were innocent!

"Impossible! Where did you hear such nonsense, you idiot?"

Song Qinghan's face paled as she exclaimed, "How could Fifth Brother possibly kill someone?!"

Song Mo was impulsive, but he wasn't really brainless.

He wouldn't dare to do something as trivial as harmless mischief...

“But…” Ling Shuang said with a mournful face, “But I heard it clearly, the people from the Dali Temple haven’t left yet, they couldn’t possibly be wrong!”

If the evidence wasn't irrefutable, the officials from the Dali Temple wouldn't have been able to break into the official's residence and arrest him.

The fact that the people from the Dali Temple have arrived means...

"Send a boy to the front yard to listen right now!" Song Qinghan suddenly raised her voice. "Go now!"

"If you miss a single word or make a single mistake, I'll skin you alive!"

Ling Shuang nodded vigorously and tried to run out, but she bumped into someone unexpectedly as soon as she reached the door: "Fourth Young Master?!"

"you……"

"Get out of the way!" Song Wen pushed aside the obstructing Ling Shuang and pulled Song Qinghan up. "Han'er, something's happened at home, you..."

"I'll go keep Mother company right away!" Song Qinghan said quickly. "Once the people outside leave, I'll immediately send a message to Brother Yunliang!"

If Song Mo really accidentally killed someone, the more people who help him come up with ideas, the better.

Song Qinghan subconsciously said, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, Brother Yunliang will definitely..."

Do you know why your fifth brother fought with that person?

Song Wen's face was unusually grim, and he answered irrelevantly, "Did Zheng Yunliang ever tell you about his affairs in the south of the city?"

Song Qinghan didn't understand why he brought this up, and asked blankly, "South of the city?"

"The Zheng family does have a house in the south of the city, but isn't someone living in that house?"

“You…” Song Wen took a deep breath, “Do you know who lives inside?”

Song Qinghan shook her head with a wry smile.

When Zheng Yunliang mentioned the house to her, he spoke very casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

She was just Zheng Yunliang's fiancée, and there was no way she would pry into the details.

Song Qinghan tried hard to suppress the strange feeling surging in her heart and asked curiously, "Fourth Brother, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Could it be that the trouble Fifth Brother has caused this time is related to that house?"

Song Wen avoided Song Qinghan's gaze, clenching his teeth tightly to swallow the blood churning in his throat, and said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what happened either."

“Mother was badly frightened. I’m going to go find Father now,” Song Wen took a deep breath. “You go and stay with Mother first. We’ll talk about the rest when I get back.”

Completely bewildered, Song Qinghan didn't dare ask any more questions and could only obediently nod to indicate that she understood.

Song Wen left in a hurry, plunging the entire Song family into a great panic.

Si Niannian was also summoned to the main courtyard.

Song Wen's original intention in making this arrangement was to have her accompany Madam Song, but unfortunately Madam Song fainted three times from crying within an hour and didn't see Si Niannian at all.

As soon as Lord Song entered with a dark face, Madam Song, who was crying so hard she could barely breathe, immediately rushed over to him: "My lord!"

"My lord! Our youngest son is definitely innocent! How could he possibly kill someone?!"

"What exactly did you say to the Dali Temple? Xiao Wu, he..."

"Shut up!"

Lord Song's face contorted with unprecedented rage as he roared, "If he's truly innocent, that would be wonderful!"

With tears still glistening in her eyes, Madam Song asked incredulously in a shrill voice, "What do you mean?"

"Do you also think that Xiao Wu is...?"

"Mother," Song Wen said through gritted teeth, his face drained of color, "I've found out the truth, that person..."

"He did have an argument with Song Mo, and then Song Mo pushed him off the third floor."

The buildings in Huajianfu are much taller than usual, so the fall would have been much higher than the third floor.

The person first started arguing with Song Mo for some unknown reason, and the two were forced to stop arguing when someone managed to persuade them to stop.

The people traveling with him originally intended to send that person away first, but as soon as the person reached the window, he said something inappropriate that completely enraged the drunken Song Mo.

During the fight, Song Mo, fueled by alcohol, became ruthless and broke free from the others' restraints, pushing the other person out of the window and causing him to fall!

Madam Song collapsed to the ground as if she had lost her soul.

Song Qinghan, her face pale, said anxiously, "That person, he..."

“Dead,” Song Wen closed his eyes in despair, saying bitterly, “I shouldn’t have died, but…”

"But Song Mo saw from upstairs that he had actually gotten up, and then smashed a vase down on his head."

The vase, which was almost as long as an adult's arm, shattered with a crash. The person who staggered to his feet fell back down and died completely.

There were many people present at the time, and the number of witnesses was almost countless.

Furthermore, the people who were with Song Mo all gave their accounts of what happened, providing both witnesses and physical evidence, all of which were extremely detrimental to Song Mo.

Si Niannian was shocked to find that Song Mo could be so cruel.

Song Qinghan's bones instantly buckled, and after struggling to help Madam Song up, she stammered, "But..."

"Fifth Brother brought me some snacks when he came back, and he didn't seem to be acting any different..."

"he……"

"Who was that person he beat to death?!" Madam Song suddenly looked up, her eyes wide, and demanded sharply, "What was his name? Who did he belong to?!"

"His name is Wu Dayong. His family are just ordinary merchants, and he's an only child, so..."

"So, he has no connections in his family and can't find anyone to help him?" Madam Song asked urgently. "Is that right?!"

Song Wen's expression was somber. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yes."

A young man with no background had to exhaust his family's resources to become a candidate for the imperial examinations in Yujing.

He may be the pride of the family.

But in a place like Yujing, where even throwing a brick could hit a seventh-rank official, there were countless people who could crush him to death.

Although murderers should pay with their lives, the law has never been able to truly treat everyone equally.

If you really want to examine it carefully, it's not actually that difficult to erase Song Mo's crime.

Madam Song's expression gradually changed from collapse to distortion, and a chilling light seeped from her eyes.

Song Qinghan suddenly realized something and gasped for breath.

When these people suddenly turned to look at her, Si Niannian secretly thought to herself that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Madam Song said the next second, "Go to the Duke's mansion right now! No... go directly to the Marquis of Zhennan's mansion!"

The old lady of the Duke's mansion couldn't solve this problem.

But Jie Ge'an can!

Although Jie Ge'an was in charge of criminal justice, the Court of Judicial Review and criminal justice had always been inseparable, and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was someone Jie Ge'an had personally promoted.

As long as Jie Ge'an is willing to let Song Mo go, Song Mo will definitely live!

Si Niannian went to ask Jie Ge'an for help, and Jie Ge'an would definitely agree!
