Luo Yurou couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Song Chi is really omnipresent and will not miss any opportunity. The next few days should not be boring.
She was controlled too strictly by her old father in the capital, which was really boring. She followed Song Chi just to have some fun.
"You, get up!"
Song Chi called out to the two yamen runners who were lying limp on the ground. He did not feel ashamed. If Lao Mo had not been by his side, he would have been very panicked.
"The assassin is dead. Go to the county office and inform the magistrate. Then go to my house and call my uncle and cousin over. Tell them to start work..."
"Please tell my aunt that I'll be home for dinner next time."
The two yamen runners got up and ran away.
There were three corpses on the ground, and their heads were not far away. This was the first time Song Chi had seen such a scene. He thought he would be scared but he was not. He was just angry!
These yamen runners were all selected by him, but because of this, they suffered an unexpected disaster and three of them lost their lives in vain.
Moreover, if Lao Mo hadn't been there tonight, he might have been killed too.
No, he wouldn't die even without Lao Mo, because Miss Luo would take action.
I didn’t expect that Zhang Wu was actually the killer from Hongxiufang.
This world is not what he thought it was. There are not only verbal fights, but also physical fights. If he wants to save his life, he must become stronger.
Song Chi had a blank expression on his face, his heart as hard as iron.
.......
Su family.
The family sat around the dining table, which was filled with a sumptuous array of wine and delicious food.
This was the most sumptuous meal the Su family had ever had. They had been waiting for quite a long time. Su Nanyan had been swallowing his saliva and wanted to pick up his chopsticks, but Wang Ru scolded him several times and he dared not move.
"Cousin won't be away again today, will he?" Su Nanyan looked at the big pork elbow that was emitting a fragrant aroma. It smelled really good.
"If he says he'll come back, he'll definitely come back." Wang Ru said calmly, "We won't have dinner today unless your cousin comes back."
"It should be soon."
Su Dahai said, "The prefectural examination will be held in half a month. The magistrate has been taking extra classes with your cousin every day, so he comes home late."
"Hey, can't the top scorer in the county directly pass the provincial examination and obtain the status of a student?" Su Nanyan asked.
"The prefect will definitely make things difficult for Dalang. He has to take the exam himself. Besides, Dalang wants to get the top three honors in a row." Since he went to work in the county government, Su Dahai has also learned some things about the literati and officialdom, and there is a hint of boasting in his words.
"Three consecutive wins?"
Sunanyi exclaimed, "My cousin has great ambitions."
If one gets first place in the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination, he is called "small three prizes".
If one could take first place in the provincial examination, metropolitan examination and palace examination, this would be considered a true triple-top winner. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only one person has achieved such an accomplishment.
"Well, Dalang is really promising." Su Dahai praised.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Su Dahai smiled and said, "It's Dalang who's back."
"Finally, I can eat." Su Nanyan swallowed again.
Wang Ru stood up and scolded, "You haven't eaten yet."
"I'll go open the door." Su Dahai went outside and saw that the person who came was actually a constable.
"Captain Su, something terrible has happened." The young constable hurriedly said, "Master Song was assassinated on his way home... Old Wang and the other three are all dead.
The young constable was panting heavily, which made Su Dahai's face change drastically. "What did you say? Dalang was assassinated!"
He shouted so loudly that Su Nanyi and the other two in the house heard it and ran out quickly.
"How's Dalang?"
"Is cousin okay?"
"Where's Lao Mo? Isn't he with Lao Mo?"
Several people chatted back and forth, and the young captain hurriedly explained, "Master Song is fine... He asked me to find you and my cousin to go to the scene."
"Okay, let's go now."
Su Dahai went into the house while speaking, and came out quickly, wearing the captain's uniform and holding a big sword.
"Nan Yan, follow me."
"Um."
"Madam, you can have dinner with Nan Yi. You don't have to wait for us. Something big has happened." Su Dahai gave instructions and pulled the young constable out.
"By the way, Master Song also asked me to tell his aunt that he couldn't have time to eat today and would wait until next time."
The three of them went out quickly, and Wang Ru sighed softly.
"I've become more understanding, and things are getting better at home, but I don't have the peaceful and comfortable life I used to have. It's not like now where I'm constantly worried."
Su Nanyi didn't say anything. Her beautiful eyes were full of worry. Her hands were crossed and clenched tightly, showing her inner uneasiness. With her cousin's intelligence, nothing would happen.
Song Chi didn't have to wait long. The street suddenly became brighter. Many yamen runners came running over with torches in hand. The official sedan stopped right in front of Song Chi. Feng Yuan got out of the sedan with a dark face. There was worry in his eyes, and also an unconcealable anger.
This is not the first time Song Chi has been assassinated.
Feng Yuan knew that Song Chi had to deal with such things one after another mostly because of him, and this was intolerable.
Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Chi was fine. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Who is the murderer?"
"Isn't that so?"
Song Chi pointed to the corpse on the side and said, "The murderer is Zhang Wu."
"Zhang Wu? The leader of the Yongsheng Gang?" Feng Yuan was also quite surprised.
"He is not an ordinary person. His real identity is a killer from Hongxiufang, codenamed Four Fingers." Song Chi explained.
Feng Yuan had never heard of this, and he only grew even angrier. "How dare these scoundrels of the underworld assassinate an official of the imperial court... They're truly courting death. The Han family must be behind this. This time, I will not let them off easily!"
Feng Yuan's face turned dark red under the light of the torch. He was very bookish. In his eyes, there should be no martial arts world. All under heaven belongs to the king. How could there be martial arts world under the rule of the imperial court?
Moreover, Song Chi was assassinated again and again, which made Feng Yuan completely angry.
Officialdom struggles have their own rules and regulations. If everyone were to ignore the rules and resort to physical means to eliminate their opponents at every turn, wouldn't that be chaos?
"You are mine, and I will make them pay!"
Feng Yuan said in a low voice: "Zhang Wu is a member of the Han family. The Han family must be related. I will write a letter to the teacher..."
"Master Feng, this is not necessary."
Song Chi felt slightly relieved that Feng Yuan could still be of use to him when he needed him, but he couldn't be too impulsive.
"The person Zhang Wu assassinated was me, not you!"
Song Chi said calmly, "I'm just a commoner who just passed the county exam. Even if you report this to the court, it will be useless. You can't do anything to the Han family. Besides, in the eyes of those bigwigs in the court, I'm nothing."
Seeing Feng Yuan remained silent, Song Chi continued, "We can't do anything to the Han family with what we have now, and we can't do anything with this incident."
Feng Yuan calmed down a little, "Am I just going to endure this?"
"Of course I can't tolerate it."
Song Chi said coldly: "We can take advantage of this issue and make the Han family bleed!"
