That day, the man got some silver money from the state government office and went to a tavern to drink. He came back a little late and when he walked to Liuxiang, he suddenly heard someone shouting "Murder", but then there was no movement and he thought he had heard it wrong. He didn't take it seriously because he had drunk some wine, and continued to walk forward while holding the wall, but he heard someone talking again.
