Chapter 434: Internal organs disappeared
Song Tingchen was the first to notice the weirdness here.
He suddenly remembered that in his dream, Su Tan seemed to be looking at them with such a strange expression.
Then that night, the entire Song family was flooded with blood.
Now seeing Li Lanjuan showing an expression similar to Su Tan's, Song Tingchen's eyebrows jumped violently. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lu Zhiheng.
"General Song, I have something to tell you."
"Besides, it's not a big deal for the three of us to keep going to the same place. Let Master Su take charge of this place. You and I will go look somewhere else."
"After all, His Majesty has ordered you to investigate this matter thoroughly. You can't just slack off like this."
"You must thoroughly investigate this matter, so that you won't disappoint your father's expectations."
"It's best not to waste any more time."
Since Lu Zhiheng said so, Song Tingchen could no longer stand there. He could only look at Lu Zhiheng deeply, turn around and leave.
Lu Zhiheng did not ask the villagers to follow him, but only told them to seal the doors and windows carefully.
Each of them is either rich or noble, and holds supreme power.
With just a flick of his finger, he could crush the villagers like ants.
How could the villagers dare to say anything?
The villagers just did what they said.
Song Tingchen frowned and stared at Lu Zhiheng.
"Why did you interrupt, Your Highness?"
"The villagers have noticed that Li Lanjuan is not in a good state. She may want to kill her parents-in-law and their entire family to avenge her child."
Song Tingchen certainly felt that Li Lanjuan was very pitiful now.
It was also clear why Su Tan turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
But Song Tingchen couldn't just ignore it.
He felt that although Li Lanjuan's husband and parents-in-law were wrong, the fault lay in their own ignorance, as they had been educated in this way since childhood.
This is how the world is. They are wrong, but their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.
Song Tingchen couldn't just stand by and watch.
Instead, Lu Zhiheng sneered twice with no expression on his face.
"I did see it, so what?"
"Why, does General Song still think that these people shouldn't die?"
"You bear the consequences of your actions. They should have expected this day to come when they killed Li Lanjuan's child."
"General Song was so anxious, even desperate to save their lives. Could it be that you felt the same way when you saw him? Is it because you have done something similar yourself?"
He was just speaking harshly, but he didn't expect that his words would hit Song Tingchen's lung.
Song Tingchen's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Zhiheng sneer twice.
"Every single one of this family deserves to die. If they were still here, I'm afraid they would be even angrier than I am."
"Song Tingchen, you don't have a daughter. Maybe you will have one in the future, but right now you only have one son. You certainly can't understand how others feel when they lose their daughter."
"That's why you would say so lightly that your crime is not punishable by death."
There is no crime that is not punishable by death.
Killing someone means paying with your life, and owing money means paying with your money.
A truth from ancient times.
Could it be that the person who was killed was a baby, and the person who killed the baby was his biological father, grandfather, or grandmother? Can all these sins be erased?
Song Tingchen actually sympathized with the murderer.
They still have the nerve to say that their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.
What about Li Lanjuan?
Who can see Li Lanjuan’s pain?
A deep pain flashed in Song Tingchen's eyes.
His fingers were shaking a little. He did have a daughter, and she was dead.
At this moment, Song Tingchen didn't know how to refute Lu Zhiheng's words. He only heard Lu Zhiheng sneering again.
"Song Tingchen, I have no intention of preaching here, nor do I have the time to argue with you about right and wrong. But there is one thing I want to remind you: if you give your kindness to the wrong person, you will be the one who suffers."
After all, if Song Tingchen had not felt sorry for others in the past, perhaps Su Tan would still be a happy wife and mother now.
Perhaps the Song family would not be destroyed, and Old Man Song and Old Madam Song might still be alive and well.
Lu Zhiheng laughed twice sarcastically.
"General Song has already killed his own parents because of his stubborn kindness. You have harmed your own child, and now you are being accused of being an ungrateful person."
"Why are you going to kill yourself now because of your unnecessary kindness?"
"Then you'd better pray that Su Tan will take pity on Song Xiao because he lost his father."
Lu Zhiheng's words were really too harsh.
Song Tingchen's face suddenly turned pale.
Song Tingchen stared at Lu Zhiheng.
He wanted to say something to refute the other party's words.
Even though he knew that Su Tan didn't actually have Lu Zhiheng in his eyes, he was only kind to Lu Zhiheng because of Sui Sui.
But he still subconsciously didn't want to lose to Lu Zhiheng.
Now, hearing the other party's sarcastic tone, every word hit him directly in the heart, he couldn't control his body and trembled violently.
Song Tingchen felt like an arrow had hit his heart.
But the instigator, Lu Zhiheng, was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around and left.
Song Tingchen's lips turned pale.
Reason told him that he absolutely could not be the one who stood by and watched. He could not watch these things happen knowing that Li Lanjuan might kill her husband and her parents-in-law.
The tragedy should have ended the moment Li Lanjuan's child was killed.
In Song Tingchen's opinion, Li Lanjuan really shouldn't continue to waste her own life for that group of people.
But every word of Lu Zhiheng's warning hit him hard.
Song Tingchen was really worried.
What if he really died because of meddling in other people's affairs? Would Su Tan really suddenly remember that Song Xiao still had this child because she had lost her biological father, grandfather, and grandmother?
No!
Song Tingchen closed his eyes tightly.
In the previous life, after Changle died, Su Tan shot Song Xiao to death with a sword without hesitation.
She was so cold and heartless that it seemed as if Song Xiao was not a piece of flesh that fell from her belly at all.
In this life, when she faced Sui Sui, who looked somewhat similar to Chang Le, and Song Xiao, who crawled out of her belly, she pushed Song Xiao out without hesitation.
She doesn't feel sorry for Song Xiao.
Especially in this life, Changle died again.
But because Changle's death in this life was not caused by Song Xiao, Su Tan did not actually take action.
But what if - Song Tingchen couldn't help but think, but what if, Su Tan still wanted Song Xiao to die in his heart?
Just like she had lost control several times before and almost killed him.
Perhaps because of these things, Su Tan doesn't want to take action again in this life.
But if there was a chance that could allow her to kill Song Xiao without doing it herself, Song Tingchen didn't dare to bet whether Su Tan would let it go.
Therefore, facing Lu Zhiheng's warning at this moment, Song Tingchen was speechless.
He didn't dare to gamble.
He can't afford the gamble.
Song Tingchen seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant.
He looked at Lu Zhiheng expressionlessly, staring at his back, and said with almost gritted teeth: "Your Highness is so calculating."
"You have immediately grasped the person I care about most. Don't worry, I will naturally not meddle in other people's affairs."
He truly felt that Li Lanjuan's husband and his family did not deserve the death penalty.
If there was a chance, he would have rescued him.
After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
However, if the consequence of doing so is to sacrifice his own life, or even the life of his child, Song Tingchen has no choice.
He can only be the blind man who watches coldly.
You can only pretend that you know nothing and see nothing.
…
Su Tan accompanied Li Lanjuan to the back mountain.
Li Lanjuan was in a tense state, like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns.
She closed her eyes in pain.
His eyes were still vacant and cloudy.
Only when she occasionally looked at Su Tan and felt that he had no ill will towards her, and even could empathize with her, could she feel a little more relaxed.
Li Lanjuan slowly exhaled.
She and Su Tan came to the grave of her child.
Li Lanjuan dug the shallow pit where her child was buried with her bare hands, but when she saw the situation in the conditions, her face suddenly turned pale and she fell to the ground weakly.
Su Tan's expression also changed suddenly.
"What's going on!"
She stared at the shallow pit where the child's remains were buried.
This child—
This child's stomach is empty!
The internal organs were completely dug out.
"ah!"
Li Lanjuan held the child's body and let out a sharp scream.
Her voice was shaking and she stared at the pit intently.
"Who killed my child?"
"Who on earth harmed my child like this?"
