Of course, Manager Song knew that this was a trap.
Although Su committed suicide on the spot, giving the Fang family no chance to interrogate her, they could have unknowingly suspected an insider and staged the girl's pregnancy. Who knows how much more she actually knew?
Just as they caught the thief, they invited him to their home. How could this not make people suspicious and alert?
Of course, if such a big thing had happened in the past, we would have to invite him to come, otherwise people would be suspicious.
But the Fang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law actually concealed the fact that the maid was faking pregnancy, which meant that they were suspicious of themselves.
Thinking back on it, I felt like I was deceiving myself everywhere.
At this time, if Manager Song still believed that the Fang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were grateful to him and trusted him, then he would be a fool.
Inviting him to the Fang family at this time is just like catching a turtle in a jar.
At the same time, it was reported that Fang Chengyu had appeared, which was just to seduce him.
You see, this is what is happening now. Madam Fang tricked him here, and when he went to see Fang Chengyu in the carriage, the people who had been lying in ambush here would jump out and catch him.
I really treat him like a three-year-old boy.
"Of course I know this is a trap," Song Yunping said.
He pressed his injured arm, the severe pain made his mind a little confused. He didn't look at Old Lady Fang, but only at the crowds of people surrounding him.
"But how can you mobilize the soldiers? I can't do anything..." he shouted.
Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of horse hooves, accompanied by a man's scolding.
"Song Yunping, you are such a scoundrel. You are so abominable and have such a heartless heart."
Song Yunping looked over and saw a middle-aged man in official robes.
This is Li Changhong, the magistrate of Yangcheng County. Beside him are the county secretary, the chief clerk, the head of the clerks, and a group of other followers.
"Your Excellency?" Song Yunping blurted out, looking surprised.
"Your Excellency," Old Lady Fang also shouted, "Did you hear what Song Yunping just said?"
Magistrate Li nodded, looking angry.
"I never thought you would be such a person." He looked at Song Yunping with deep sorrow, "You really can't recognize a person's heart, just put down your weapons and surrender."
The shopkeeper Song was surrounded by his followers, and his expression was terrified under the torchlight.
They were confident in facing the Fang family's guards, but they had no chance of winning against so many officers and soldiers.
Is this going to be a failure?
Song Yunping looked like a trapped beast.
"Catch Mrs. Fang." he suddenly shouted.
That’s right, only by catching Mrs. Fang now and using her as a threat can we have a chance to escape.
The followers rushed into the courtyard like wolves and tigers.
The guards in the yard were facing a powerful enemy, and the county magistrate and others outside also looked a little nervous.
"Shoot the arrows, don't let them go." Old Mrs. Fang shouted from the side.
"If we shoot the arrow now, I'm afraid the Madam will be hurt." County Magistrate Li said worriedly.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at the soldiers who were already engaged in a melee over there, her expression firm and sad.
"Mother. Release the arrows and leave me alone."
Mrs. Fang's shouts also came from inside. She stood among the guards, also holding a knife, and let the arrows graze her ears without dodging or evading, her eyes only looking at the shopkeeper Song outside the courtyard.
"Even if I die, I will avenge my father Dalang and Chengyu." She shouted sharply, without sadness or fear, only excitement and excitement. "Song Yunping, if you don't come to catch me, I will catch you."
This crazy woman.
Song Yunping's eyes were full of anxiety.
"Catch her, catch her quickly," he shouted, grabbing a sword from his arm and rushing inward.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at Mrs. Fang, who seemed to have fallen in the chaotic crowd but quickly got up, and concealed her grief and worry as she looked towards the county magistrate.
"My Lord, we have already agreed that I will do the seduction at home in Yangcheng, and she will do the seduction outside. No matter who the old dog bites, we will not let him go, even if we die together, we must take revenge. Otherwise, life is worse than death." She said in a trembling voice, raising her hands to salute, "Please catch the murderer, my Lord."
This woman is more terrifying than a man when she goes crazy.
County Magistrate Li nodded and sighed.
"Commander-in-Chief Wu." He shouted loudly.
Right next to him stood a tall and burly military officer wearing armor and a scarlet cloak.
Upon hearing this, he responded with yes.
"Please ask Lieutenant General Wu to help us capture the wanted criminal." Li County Commander Su Rong shouted, pointing his hand forward.
Cangjiang Wu waved his hand.
"Shoot." He shouted loudly.
Along with the sound of arrows being released, countless stray arrows flew towards the courtyard from all directions. Screams rang out one after another. After a rain of arrows, the officers and soldiers rushed forward shouting and killing.
The night became noisy, and countless people, near and far, were awakened. They thought that the Jin army had already attacked.
Fortunately, the commotion did not last long. In front of the officers and soldiers, the people under the charge of shopkeeper Song were no match for them. More than half of them were shot to death by random arrows from inside and outside, and more than half were hacked to death by the officers and soldiers who rushed over. The rest all surrendered.
Manager Song was pulled out from under several dead bodies. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang only suffered some minor injuries and was not seriously injured.
"I killed you. I killed you."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Song was arrested, Madam Fang rushed over without caring about her own injuries.
Old Mrs. Fang was busy supporting her.
County Magistrate Li also offered sympathetic consolation.
"Mrs. Fang, don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation according to the law," he said.
"God will punish him." Old Madam Fang stopped Madam Fang and said coldly to Shopkeeper Song, "Don't dirty our hands."
Mrs. Fang fell into Mrs. Fang's arms and burst into tears.
But the shopkeeper Song stopped struggling.
"I don't understand." He shouted hoarsely, looking at Old Lady Fang, "This is impossible. I can't be unaware of your arrangement."
He already knew that the Fang family was suspicious of him, so he had naturally made preparations before taking action and kept an eye on the Fang family, so he ran to kill Mrs. Fang without any scruples.
Why did government officials and soldiers suddenly come here when he had no idea about it?
"I've said it before, this is a trap." Old Mrs. Fang said woodenly, "You've been plotting against our Fang family for nearly twenty years, so what's the big deal if I arranged it seventeen or eighteen days in advance?"
Song Yunping looked at County Magistrate Li again.
"Li Changhong, you're a dog official. You've fed all my money to the dogs." He cursed loudly with a "Pah".
County Magistrate Li's face flushed slightly and his brows raised.
"What are you talking about?" He shouted, "I accepted some tribute from you in the past just to make you feel at ease. Do you think I can let you commit crimes just for your money?"
Then he sneered.
"Besides, it's not your money, it's Mrs. Fang's."
Song Yunping wanted to curse again, but the clerk and the squad leader promptly signaled the soldiers to tell Song Yunping to shut up.
The officers and soldiers simply removed his jaw and stuffed his mouth with a rag. This polite way was not their style.
Watching Song Yunping being taken away, Old Lady Fang thanked County Magistrate Li, Lieutenant General Wu and others.
"This is what we should do." Li Xianling and others returned the greeting, and sighed, "I never thought Song Yunping would be such a heartbroken person."
Old Mrs. Fang didn't want to mention this person anymore.
"This time, any pensions and pensions for casualties will be taken care of by our family," she said.
Not only that, after the night passed and the day broke, the whole Yangcheng knew about this incident, because the Fang family beat drums and gongs and went around the city three times to deliver a plaque to the Yangcheng County Government that read "eliminating harm for the people."
The fact that Song Yunping murdered three generations of male members of the Fang family was also made public, and the whole county was shocked.
