"What??"
Song Ming was stunned, as if he had heard it wrongly.
"Old Wu...is dead."
Song Shiwen's voice was low. He seemed calm, but his hands holding the secret letter were shaking.
"Father, you're joking. How is this possible?"
Song Ming said casually: "Old Wu is a martial arts master, who can kill him?"
Seeing that his father didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel alarmed and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"yes."
"Impossible, how could Old Wu die? This must be fake news." Song Ming shook his head repeatedly. He didn't believe that such a thing would happen at all.
"Han Yu said in the secret letter that he and Zhou Zhengan saw Old Wu's body with their own eyes..." Song Shiwen said in a low voice, "It's recognizable as Han Yu's handwriting, and it has a unique mark. He wouldn't dare to speak carelessly on such a matter."
Song Shiwen's face was so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it.
Those who knew him well knew that when the Prime Minister got angry and cursed people, he was not really angry. He was only truly angry when he had a gloomy face and did not speak.
The person who has been with Song Shiwen the longest is Old Wu.
At that time, he was just a poor scholar who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Old Wu was similar to Old Mo. They retired from the underworld and suffered humiliation. Song Shiwen spoke up for them, and the two met. Then Wu Wenhui followed Song Shiwen until now.
Wu Wenhui, who was only a first-rate master at the time, already had the strength of a half-step grandmaster.
He was the person Song Shiwen trusted the most, but now he is dead!
"Who is it? Who can kill Old Wu, and who dares to touch him." Song Ming's face was filled with shock, his body and mind were trembling. Old Wu was not an ordinary person. He was a half-step master and the chief steward of the Song Mansion.
It is unbelievable that someone would dare to kill someone with such an identity.
No one in the entire Great Zhou has such courage.
"Who is it? Could it be the Second Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Qing?" Song Ming thought of someone.
His father was the Prince's Guardian, and the Song family was definitely a member of the Prince's Party. This would certainly displease His Royal Highness Prince Qing, so he killed Wu Wenhui as a warning, but this was impossible.
Old Wu went to Ji County, and His Royal Highness Prince Qing would not do that.
Song Ming looked shocked and asked, "Could it be related to Song Chi?"
After saying that, he felt it was impossible. How could Song Chi be around someone who could kill a Half-Step Grandmaster?
At this time, Song Shiwen took a deep breath, staring at Song Ming and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what exactly happened between you and Liang Qingwu in the room on the night of the Homecoming Banquet?"
Hearing this, Song Ming's heart trembled. He said with a guilty conscience, "Why does father ask this?"
"After returning to Beijing, I asked Doctor Hu. He said that his medicine would never fail. Even a martial arts master would find it difficult to dissolve it. How could you fail?" Song Shiwen stood up.
This also made Song Ming extremely panicked.
The truth is that he was kicked in the vitals by Song Chi and could not accomplish his goal. He was clearly the victim but he could not tell the truth.
Song Ming knew his father too well. If his father knew that he was no longer humane, he would immediately abandon him and take Song Chi back home.
A father would never want a son who could not continue the Song family's lineage.
Therefore, Song Ming had no way to express his suffering.
Song Ming's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he feigned surprise as he said, "Liang Qingwu is very powerful and different from ordinary people. It's possible that the drug has lost its effect. If not, how could I fail?"
He didn't understand why his father would ask him this when they were talking about Old Wu's death.
"You mean Liang Qingwu was awake when you faced her?" Song Shiwen continued to ask.
Song Ming recalled.
At that time, Liang Qingwu was almost losing consciousness, exuding endless charm, but he could only watch and could do nothing. In the end, he ran away with a guilty conscience, but of course he couldn't tell anyone about such a thing.
"That's right. Liang Qingwu was very sober at that time. She was born into a military family and was very powerful. Even if I wanted to use force, it would not work..." Song Ming said seriously.
Song Shiwen continued, "Is it possible that when you went there, Liang Qingwu's drug hadn't taken effect yet. She was able to control it temporarily, but she acted like nothing happened at that time. You were frightened and ran away..."
"I don't know about that."
Song Ming asked tentatively: "Father, why are you asking this? It's all in the past."
"I asked Doctor Hu. He said that once someone is drugged, there's no way to neutralize the effects unless they have sex with a man. I know Liang Qingwu is very powerful, so I asked Doctor Hu for the strongest medicine. If she doesn't find a man to neutralize it, it will kill her!"
Song Ming was slightly stunned. He knew that what his father said must be true, because Liang Qingwu was indeed under the influence of the drug and was about to lose consciousness.
According to her father, the only way to resolve the problem is to have sex with a man, so how did Liang Qingwu wake up?
He suddenly thought of something.
"You mean?"
Song Shiwen asked: "After you left, has anyone entered Liang Qingwu's room again..."
"Probably not."
Song Ming recalled carefully that he was shocked at the time and didn't know how he got back to the banquet hall in a daze. He didn't even notice whether there was anyone there.
"Could it be Song Chi?"
"Him? That's impossible. Why would my father say that?" Song Ming was trembling physically and mentally. He hurriedly asked, "What did Han Yu write in the letter?"
Song Shiwen said in a low voice, "The person who killed Old Wu was a subordinate of Liang Qingwu. According to Han Yu's description, he should be Fentian, one of Liang Qingwu's four generals."
"Fentian? Did she kill Old Wu?"
Song Ming asked hurriedly: "Fentian is not in the Northern Army, why is he in Ji County?"
