Chapter 196 On the verge of breaking out
General Song hurried to Old Madam Song's yard. Looking at the messy yard, he suddenly became unsure about his previous thoughts.
Could this really be revenge from Lu Shiyan and his wife?
Do these two really have the ability to quietly move away the ancient trees and ornamental stones in the courtyard overnight?
Could it be that it was really Wong Tai Sin Goddess who cast a spell to punish those who behaved badly?
After a moment, General Song shook his head violently again, shaking off the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.
There can't be any Wong Tai Sin, someone must be using some tricks!
He turned around abruptly and said to the followers behind him, "Have the people we sent out returned? Hurry up."
"Sir, they say there's been no unusual activity on the streets these past two days. The city gates were also peaceful last night. Everything shipped out of the city gates has been carefully checked, and nothing unusual has been found."
"Then he must be hiding in the city! Check every household for me!" After General Song said this, he went to the inner room to see Old Madam Song.
Old Madam Song's eyes and mouth were crooked now. When she saw her son come in, she wanted to speak, but her saliva flowed down like a line, and she couldn't speak clearly no matter how hard she tried.
"How could this happen?" General Song looked at the doctor beside him and asked coldly.
The doctor was so frightened that his legs were shaking, and he trembled and said, "The old lady was already in poor health, and she was suddenly frightened-"
General Song listened impatiently, "How can it be cured?"
"Well..." the doctor said with difficulty: "You can only take good care of the patient..." He has been practicing medicine for many years, but he has never seen any doctor cure a stroke patient.
However, facing the cold gaze of General Song, he dared not say this out loud and could only respond vaguely.
General Song was already irritated and impatient, and now he encountered such a vague doctor. He immediately cursed, "Quack, you're trying to deceive me! Take me away and beat me to death."
The doctor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The servants in the room also knelt on the ground.
Old Madam Song was so anxious that she was whining and yelling, trying to tell her son not to be angry and not to commit more murders, but she couldn't say a word clearly. She could only watch as the attendants around General Song dragged the doctor away.
Seeing his widowed mother, who had raised him, reduced to this state, General Song felt grief-stricken and blamed himself. He said to the servants kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up and get a useful doctor!"
The servants saw that he had killed a doctor for this and thought he was crazy. If Madam Song's illness could not be cured, would they still have a way to survive?
The servants walked out of the door trembling, but after leaving, no one dared to return to the Song Mansion.
They all wanted to secretly take their families and escape, but some were unlucky and were caught by the Song family's soldiers, and the servants cried and begged for mercy.
Then, Goddess Wong Tai Sin punished the Song Mansion, causing the century-old trees and other things in the Song Mansion to disappear from the Song Mansion overnight. Old Lady Song was punished by Wong Tai Sin and became a paralytic with crooked eyes and a slanted mouth. However, General Song took his anger out on the doctor and had him beaten to death. The news spread throughout the city in an instant.
The whole city was in an uproar. No doctor dared to treat Old Madam Song!
However, the Song family's guards arrested the city doctors and brought them to the Song residence. The families of these doctors dared not speak out in anger, and could only silently pray to Wong Tai Sin behind their backs, hoping that the Song family would suffer misfortune and that his family would be safe...
Not only that, the Song family's soldiers also searched the people's homes with a very bad attitude, causing the people to complain.
The Song family caused chaos in the city, but found nothing.
After causing chaos in the Song and Zhao mansions, Lu Shiyan left the county and began to make arrangements, intending to take control of Yazhou and then further take control of the entire Lingnan.
Jiang Tangtang quietly stayed in the county town and began to secretly frame someone to find evidence to investigate the Rouge Shop.
This time, Zhao Kui detained the workers in the workshop because the Jiang family and others went to the government office to sue the Rouge Shop, saying that their beloved daughter's face was rotten after using the Rouge Shop's ointment.
Those who can afford the Rouge Shop perfume are not ordinary people, and those whose faces are rotten this time are basically ladies who have had contact with Hu Mingzhu.
According to Jiang Tangtang's secret investigation, those who had contact with Hu Mingzhu really had rotten faces, but Hu Mingzhu was just pretending.
The Hu family was simply instructed by Zhao Kui to pretend to be in trouble in order to frame the Rouge Shop.
But the Hu family was reluctant to let their daughter suffer, so they made her look like she had a rotten face. The ladies who had contact with Hu Mingzhu had their ointment tampered with by someone secretly putting medicinal powder in it.
After Jiang Tangtang found out the truth, he took people to the outside of the yamen to beat the drum to protest his injustice.
Logically speaking, it wouldn't be long before Lu Shiyan would take over Yazhou. By then, General Song and Zhao Kui would be under their command. It would be easy to rescue the workers in the workshop, so she didn't need to rush at this moment.
But she did not want the Rouge Workshop to bear a stigma, and she was even less willing to rescue the workers in that way.
Recently, Zhao Kui has lost his appetite and is in a state of low spirits when he thinks about the treasure he has accumulated for most of his life disappearing into thin air.
He didn't care about the affairs of the government office and was only thinking about how to get his money back.
He even pretended not to hear the drumbeats until his subordinates came to report that Jiang Tangtang was beating the drums outside. Only then did he perk up and hurriedly ordered his confidant, "Quick, go get General Song."
When the treasures at home mysteriously disappeared, he initially thought it was the spirit of Wong Tai Sin, and that it was a punishment for himself.
But General Song insisted that someone was behind this, and his suspects were Lu Shiyan and his wife.
He didn't believe it at first, but rather than believing that his treasure was taken away by Wong Tai Sin through magic, he would rather believe that it was stolen by the Lu couple in revenge.
Jiang Tangtang was soon brought to court.
On the other hand, when General Song heard that Jiang Tangtang had dared to go and beat the drum to complain, he immediately sneered, "How dare you come here? You really don't know your place! Order the troops to surround the government office. I will make sure she doesn't return today!"
If there was a theft in the house, he would blame it on them regardless of whether it was done by the couple or not.
Once Jiang Tangtang is captured, she will be a hostage.
Jiang Tangtang was able to take her family to the island to settle down so early, so how could she not know that if she was caught, she would be held hostage and used against Lu Shiyan.
How could she not have made arrangements?
In fact, in addition to sending a message to Lu Shiyan early on, he also mobilized many people.
So, when General Song brought his troops to the county government office, he found that the area outside the government office was crowded with people.
"Sir, everyone in this county has arrived, right?" Wu Zhouquan frowned so hard he could kill a fly by pinching the crowd outside the county government office. "It seems the Jiang family isn't completely clueless; they've made preparations in advance!"
"So what if she's prepared? Does she think I can't touch her just because she mobilized the people in the city?" General Song snorted coldly and said, "Arrange the archers to wait on the beams."
