To be honest, Song Liyun felt she had met all sorts of confident and arrogant people, but she had never met someone as outgoing and familiar as Xia Hong.
They met for less than five minutes, became family, and ended up losing five lives.
Tsk tsk tsk!
That's a really generous gift.
With a murder case involved, he and I are in the same boat. Even if we're not the main culprit, we're still accomplices. We'll be lucky to escape with our lives.
Since they were family, Song Liyun decided to speak frankly and openly.
"Your girl just fell into my Uncle Kui's arms for no reason. It was a trap you set on purpose. Did you learn those tricks from some brothel prostitute?"
Hearing the sarcastic remark, Xia Hong didn't even raise an eyebrow, only lifting his chin: "My cousin is only sixteen. Marrying that old man Song Dekui is a bargain for him."
This is not a denial of digging a hole.
Song Liyun scoffed, "I'm just curious, why do you believe I'll obediently let you manipulate me?"
This time, Xia Hong perked up, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Young Madam, you're the one who killed those five lives."
The three of us can testify that you first wounded him with an arrow, then used a knife to silence him.
Xia Hong already knew from his investigation of the Song family that Song Liyun was ruthless, unyielding, and didn't even respect her own uncle. He knew that a decisive move was needed to get rid of her.
This idea had been in Xia Hong's mind for over a year, but he hadn't had the opportunity to pursue it.
This is a golden opportunity that we can't miss. These people are just five thugs from Songfeng County. As long as they can set a trap for Song Liyun, they're not worth dying for.
Those five people had arrow wounds, which is an indelible fact. Even if Song Liyun said she didn't kill anyone, who could testify for her?
Song Liyun has connections in Qili County, but not in Songfeng County.
If the matter is brought to the authorities, given the grudges against Cao Jing, the Songfeng County government will certainly not let it go easily.
In order to clear Song Liyun of the murder charge, she must beg herself to let it go.
Song Liyun found it all ridiculous and absurd. She didn't understand why some people always thought they were the chosen ones and therefore smarter than others, capable of controlling everything.
She walked up to Xia Hong and lowered her voice, saying, "You said it yourself, the three of you can testify. What would happen if there were no witnesses?"
Xia Hong's brow twitched: "Song Dekui is my brother-in-law, if you dare to do this to me... Ah! You bitch!"
Song Liyun pushed the knife that was already in his abdomen further in, until it went all the way down to the hilt.
Xia Hong's eyes were bloodshot and his strength receded instantly like a receding tide. He trembled as he tried to grab Song Liyun's arm.
Song Liyun kicked him in the stomach again, and Xia Hong fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
"Ah! Fifth Brother!" The two men who came with him only then saw Xia Hong being stabbed and rushed over in alarm.
Without needing Song Liyun to remind him again, Wu Dan raised his hand and fired an arrow.
The arrow pierced the man's eye socket, causing blood to splatter from his face. He screamed and fell backward, struggling for a few moments before ceasing to move.
The person behind him was so frightened by the sight that he staggered and turned to run away.
With the horse right beside him, he mounted it at top speed and headed straight for Songfeng County.
He wants to report the case to the police.
Song Liyun calmly wiped the bloodstains off Xia Hong's body with the short knife and said in a deep voice, "Wu Dan, go and kill him!"
Wudan also ran to his horse, nimbly leaping onto its back as it galloped, and chased after the fleeing people.
At this moment, the scene was littered with corpses, a complete mess, and the stench of blood was overwhelming, but Song Liyun didn't even flinch.
Xia Hong was deliberately plotting against the Song family; how could she let him go?
You can't just wash your neck clean and wait for someone to chop it off piece by piece.
Originally, she had no intention of killing the five robbers, who were only two horses. She only wanted to give them a small lesson and let them suffer a bit.
The only one to blame is Xia Hongtai, who was cunning and not only schemed against Song Dekui, but also used human lives to frame himself.
The road to instant success is not easy.
Only a short time later, Wudan returned, followed by a black horse.
The man on top had collapsed onto the horse's back, a hard wooden arrow deeply embedded in his vest.
"Young Madam, what should we do?" Wu Dan's heart was still pounding.
This was his first time going out with the young mistress, and also his first time completing a mission.
"What should we do? Of course, we should leave!"
Song Liyun moved with fluid grace, collecting several corpses and stuffing them into her spatial storage.
On the other side, Wu Dan untied the girths and reins of the mules and horses that Xia Hong and the others had ridden over, and then forcefully stabbed each horse in the rump with an arrow.
The mules, in pain, neighed a few times and dashed into the woods, quickly disappearing behind the trees and overgrown weeds. They ran for an unknown distance.
Song Liyun and Wu Dan mounted their horses and rode straight ahead.
On the official road, hoofprints were scattered everywhere, and blood seeped into the sand, leaving dark red patches. The wind swept over the withered leaves, spreading the stench of blood. Anyone who passed by would notice the unusual scene.
Song Liyun made no attempt to conceal anything.
Officer Jiang and his men will surely arrive one after another.
They found the crime scene, but there were no witnesses or physical evidence. Even if they suspected they were guilty, there was nothing they could do.
Song Liyun was in a good mood.
She felt a little embarrassed when she learned that Song Dekui's new wife's family was involved in the construction of Mida City.
Uncle Kui has a strong bond with his family; turning against them for the sake of the Xia family would be a losing proposition.
The Xia family is clearly a bunch of petty people who have gotten their way and don't know their own limitations. Keeping such people around is just asking for trouble.
Now that Xia Hong has brought it to me, I don't need to bother thinking of a solution anymore.
However, after this incident, Song Liyun and Wudan also took note of it. They stopped going into villages and towns along the way, and at night they found a quiet place, took out bundles of straw to block the wind, and wrapped themselves in woolen blankets to sleep comfortably. The two of them arrived in Hecheng in just three days.
