Another version is that Songpahuang had done many evil things over the years and felt very guilty. When he saw the new county magistrate, he wanted to confess and become a tainted witness, but he didn't expect that the Songpa family had ambushed killers among the onlookers.
Those killers suddenly attacked, intending to silence the witnesses, and finally fought for three hundred rounds with the elite soldiers of Qinghe who came to protect them. When the dust settled, everyone found that Song Pahuang had died in the chaos.
The person who said this swore to the heavens with great confidence, "You can imagine it. Is there anything in this world that the Songpa family dare not do?"
Once this statement was made, it gave this version infinite credibility.
Then, the three shifts of yamen runners, who had been reorganized, attacked in all directions under the cover of the garrison, sealed off the property of Songpa's family, and arrested all the members of Songpa's family who were outside. No matter if they were surnamed Songpa or just helped them collect rent on a daily basis, they were all locked up and thrown into jail.
“Pah.”
A white jade porcelain teacup was smashed hard on the ground. The maidservant nearby tried to clean it up, but was hit on the head by another teacup thrown at her, causing her to bleed.
The maid didn't dare to stand up or make any movement. She could only kneel on the ground and tremble, letting the blood flow from the top of her head into her collar, and then she could no longer see it.
"Boss, what are you crazy about?"
The person who spoke was the patriarch of the Songpa family, Songpa’s grandfather Songpa Xiong.
He looked at his eldest son, Songpafeng, with an irritated expression, complaining, "If something goes wrong, just find a way out. Why take it out on something? This is a teacup from the official kiln, worth dozens of taels of silver. Wouldn't you feel bad if it was broken? If you really want to vent your anger."
At this point, Songpaxiong nodded with his chin at the maidservant kneeling on the ground bleeding profusely, and said, "It's already broken anyway, so take it and torture it, but don't kill it. After all, it was raised by the family. When the time comes, find a chance to give it to the people below."
Song Pafeng waved his hands from the second seat and said, "Father, the teacup is a small matter, and the maid is worthless. These are not the main issues. The key is that we are now in trouble, and we must find a solution."
"Hmph, what are you thinking? I told you back then that this new county magistrate is not one to be trifled with, and the people of Qinghe are even more ruthless. I told you to give him a good reception, but you insisted on giving him a show of force. Now look, what do you think is the end of this? Do you really want me, an old man, to kneel before him at the county government office?"
"Father! You know the people of Qinghe aren't easy to deal with. If we remain weak, won't they just take advantage of us? Besides, you agreed to my plan in the beginning. You can't say it's all my fault now."
Sompaphon retorted.
"Evil boy, you want to piss me off to death!"
Old Master Songpa was so angry that his beard was about to stand up. He stood up and swung his crutch to hit him, but he held the crutch up for a long time and didn't let it fall.
Songpaxiong looked around to see if there was anyone who could understand a little and come to persuade him, otherwise, this was his own son, and he couldn't bring himself to hit him.
The maids around them had already knelt on the ground, trembling with their heads buried in their hands because of what happened to the previous maid, not daring to look up. Seeing this, the second son Song Payun knew that he had to do this job himself, so he stood up and said, "Father, my eldest brother is only thinking about the family. He is angry, please don't mind it."
Songpaxiong certainly didn't care. What he cared about was how to get down this step.
Seeing the second son trying to persuade him, he immediately put down his cane and said viciously: "Next time you say such unfilial words, I will beat you to death!"
The second son was unfazed by this. After all, if he kept his word, his eldest brother would have been beaten to death dozens of times, and the Songpa family would have fallen into his hands long ago. It was a pity that his father always favored the eldest son and all he did was talk.
"Father."
A female voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Songphasong's youngest daughter, Songphachuchu who walked in.
Judging from her voice, Songpa Chuchu is qualified to be a voice host. No one can match her natural clip-shaped voice. But if you see her in person, everyone will think that the deceased Songpa Huang must be a direct descendant of the Songpa family. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Songpa Chuchu is also a woman with a strong build, a face full of flesh, and even the hair on her lips can be compared to Guan Gong.
But precisely because of this, this little daughter was very much loved by Songpa Xiong. After all, the Songpa family's genes were tall and strong, with a strong physique, and both men and women were mighty and domineering.
In contrast, his second son looked gentle, well-educated, and thin and white, which was very suspicious. This was probably the reason why Songpaxiong suddenly went crazy and killed the two clean-looking teachers in his family.
"Father, since there is no other solution now, why not listen to my solution?"
Songpa Chuchu said in a gruff voice as she strode into the main hall.
