Back then, when the county magistrate, Ye Yunfei, had taken Wu Song away from Huizhen's house, she had been so anxious that she had gone mad. She had hurriedly brought the few gold and silver she had left at home to discuss with Wu Da. When the martial arts university arrived at the yamen, they asked someone to send the money in. However, they replied,"Wu Song is not in the county office!" They were not even allowed to see him. Who could predict what kind of suffering Wu Song suffered inside?
Hui Zhen thought that Ye Yunfei had taken Wu Song somewhere else, and just as she didn't know what to do, Liu San came in waving his fan and swaggered to sit on a chair, saying,""How is it? Even if Wu Song has extraordinary skills, how can he be my opponent? Hehe, this is not a world where heroes play their part. What we use is this!”As he spoke, he pointed at his forehead." It's all about money!”He looked determined.
When Hui Zhen heard this, she understood 70 - 80% in her heart. She expected that Wu Song had beaten up Liu San, and Liu San took the opportunity to take revenge. He secretly sent money to the county government to deliberately make things difficult for Wu Song, so the yamen did not allow them to meet. She asked,"Where did you hide Wu Song? What do you want to do with him?"
"Not anywhere, at the yamen. It's very good. There's food and shelter!" Liu San said proudly," But he eats pig feed and lives in a pigsty. So be it. Wu Song can naturally endure those hardships. As for what we should do to him? What do you think? He killed three people on the street and injured two. If he didn't dismember them, he would be dismembered!”
"You're despicable!" Huizhen was furious." Someone on the street clearly saw it. It was you who insulted the martial arts university first. That was why Wu Song made a move to teach you a lesson! Where did you kill someone?"
"Is that so?" Liu San closed his fan and clapped his hands. A few villagers came in and stood on both sides. Huizhen was puzzled. Liu San continued,"You said that someone on the street saw it, but who did?”He pointed at a few villagers and said," These are the passersby who were present at the time. You can ask them yourself!”
Hui Zhen pointed at Liu San and asked the villagers,""Didn't you guys see this fellow bully martial arts universities back then?”
The villagers shook their heads and said,"No."”
Hui Zhen knew that these villagers had been bribed by Liu San, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope and said,""How could you not see it? In broad daylight, you're lying through your teeth. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens? Then, what did you see?"
A villager said," I saw that Butler Liu wanted to buy some cooking cakes from Wu Da. When Wu Da was taking the cake, he accidentally dropped it on the ground. Butler Liu found it dirty and wanted to change it, but Wu Da refused." The streets of Qinghe County are clean. If you think my cooking is dirty, then you think the county magistrate of Qinghe County is incompetent!'Butler Liu said,"What are you talking about?" No matter how clean the street was, could the things that fell down be eaten? I'm not buying anymore! Thus, he turned around and left. Wu Da tugged at Butler Liu's clothes and shouted,'It's fine if you don't want to buy it, but you have to pay me silver! One liang of silver for each cooking cake! Butler Liu didn't buy any cakes, so how could he give him money? The two of them started arguing. Coincidentally, Wu Song arrived at this time. Without giving any explanation, he beat up Liu San and his gang. He went to the butcher's shop next door to snatch a butcher's knife and cut everyone he met. Fortunately, everyone ran fast, so he only killed three and injured two.”
Huizhen was stunned. Although she was not present, she knew that this was nonsense. She asked the others,"Is this what you see?”She didn't believe that there wasn't a single villager who didn't have a conscience.
"Exactly," the villagers said.”Butcher Wang Sanguai added,"Wu Song stole the butcher knife from my shop, so I was sent to the yamen for questioning!"”Another rolled up his sleeves, revealing a knife wound on his arm. He said,"I was going to stop him, but he cut me!”
Huizhen was instantly in despair. Her entire body was trembling as she pointed at the villagers and scolded,"You guys are really heartless. When you are bullied, which one of you doesn't ask Wu Song to stand up for you? Now that you're greedy for money, you'll get your retribution sooner or later!”His face was pale with anger, and his lips were purple. He could barely stand.
The villagers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Liu San waved his fan and the villagers left. "How is it?" Liu San asked Hui Zhen. If I said it alone, I would be spouting nonsense. These villagers had seen it. Was it all nonsense? One had to know that the public's mouth was not worth gold. Even if the government did not investigate, he would die sooner or later!”
Huizhen gritted her teeth and scolded,"You're so vicious!" Wu Song has no grudge with you, why do you have to kill him?”As she spoke, she started crying.
Seeing this, Liu San stood up and patted her shoulder to comfort her."Now that the case is not dead yet, although these villagers can see it clearly, if I give them some money, they will naturally keep their mouths shut. As for the government, as long as the Li family did not pursue the matter, they would also withdraw the case. As long as you say the word, I'll get someone to do it. I'll ensure that Wu Song walks out of the yamen unscathed!”
"Why are you pretending to be a good person?" Hui Zhen flung his hand away and shouted," Get lost!”
"Alright, I'll get lost!" Liu San nodded and said," I'm the only one who bullies people in this world. Who dares to bully me in this world?”He waved his fan and left, whistling happily.
Hui Zhen would never believe that Wu Song killed someone. She cried for a while and thought to herself,"What's the use of crying here? I have to think of a way!" He did not go to the martial arts university but went to the yamen to beat the drum of injustice. The county magistrate Wei Luoquan sent it to the court, stating that Wu Song had been wronged. What Wei Luoquan said was no different from the testimony of the villagers. It was exactly the same. He said,"Wu Song is currently involved in a murder case. Instead of pleading with the victim, you came to the court to cause trouble. I'll give you three days. If that victim Liu San doesn't come to withdraw the case, Wu Song will be sentenced to death!”Without saying anything, he ordered people to drag Hui Zhen out. Clearly, the county government had been working with Liu San all along, and they were only trying to take Wu Song's life.
Huizhen was chased out of the yamen by the bailiffs and ran all the way to the martial arts university's house. However, the martial arts university was not at home. The door was locked. Thus, he searched the streets again and bumped into Ying 'er who was selling eggs. He asked about the whereabouts of the martial arts university and Ying' er said,"My father has already gone to sell baked cakes. I wonder which street he is on now!”
Huizhen thought to herself,"The martial arts universities can't do anything about this. I need to find a few witnesses before going to the yamen to complain!"”So he went to the street where Wu Song taught Liu San and the others a lesson. He looked up and almost fainted. It turned out that the street was red and the ground was covered in blood, but it had already coagulated."Did Brother Song really kill someone? But that wasn't the case when he heard the neighbors talking about it!”
Huizhen struggled to get up from her limp body and walked into a shop. She asked casually,"What is this red puddle on the ground?”
"What is it? It was blood! That Wu Song took a butcher knife and killed three people in the blink of an eye!”The shop assistant did not even raise his head as he said," This world is really getting more and more restless!”
Hui Zhen was unwilling and asked a few families in a row, all of them said so. Huizhen was immediately discouraged. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and fell softly on the street.
