Hearing what he said, the county magistrate said coldly: "Lord Song, you are an official of the imperial court. You keep saying that you didn't kill anyone, so what evidence do you have?"

Bai Zhuo rushed out after him, standing in front of those yamen servants.
"You bastards! Do you know who he is? He is an imperial envoy appointed by the imperial court. Where do you have the guts to treat him like this?" Bai Zhuo tugged at the yamen servants and cursed at them angrily.
Several yamen servants ignored Bai Zhuo's tugging and cursing at all, so Bai Zhuo had no choice but to turn his head and look at the county magistrate at the side.
"Master County Magistrate, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this? You are also an imperial court official, don't you know the identity of Lord Song? Don't forget that he still has a gold medal from the emperor? You treat Song Wu like this. Ya, do you think you will have good fruit to eat?"
Facing Bai Zhuo's questioning, the county magistrate's face was still icy cold, and he snorted coldly: "Master Bai, human life is greater than the sky, this is not something you can explain in a few words. The identity of Lord Song is naturally known to the lower officials." , but the officials also know that the Son of Heaven violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Therefore, Mr. Song cannot escape. I hope that Mr. Bai can put aside your personal relationship and come out to testify against Mr. Song."
"Bah! What are you talking about? Let me testify against Brother Wu Ya, I think your head was kicked by a donkey?" Bai Zhuo did not cooperate with the county magistrate's suggestion at all.
He was not annoyed when the county magistrate was scolded like this, he sneered and said, "Since Lord Bai is unwilling to cooperate, then there is nothing I can do about it. Lord Bai is right, Lord Song has a gold medal from the emperor, so I am a lower official." I dare not decide this matter hastily. But the lower officials will immediately inform the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will personally decide this matter."
As soon as they left the room, several people completely changed their appearance, not at all as happy as they were just now.
Li Xiuqiong and his wife, who followed closely behind, immediately knelt down in front of the county magistrate after seeing them finish talking.
"Lord County Magistrate, you are really the master of Qingtian!"
Complimentary words came out sentence by sentence, and the husband and wife accused Song Wuya of his crimes in tears.Song Wuya frowned, his face gloomy.
Bai Zhuo on the side, his eyes were full of anger, and the raging anger wished to burn these people to death immediately.
"Please hurry up!" The county magistrate held up Li Xiuqiong and his wife, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! This officer is just enforcing the law impartially. As a local parental officer, if he can't understand the suffering of the people, what is the dignity? Although it is said that the official style is not right now, and this official is also in a low position, he is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to protect each other with others."
After finishing this set of speeches, the few of them moved outside.
The spectators around were stunned, they couldn't see what was going on at all.
Soon these people went straight to the outside of the courtyard, and the yamen servants pushed and pushed Song Wuya to leave Fengshengzhuang and head towards the city.
After leaving Fengshengzhuang, the county magistrate turned back to comfort Li Xiuqiong and his wife: "Master Li, Mrs. Li, please stay. I would like to express my condolences to both of you. Today, I will temporarily take him into custody. Tomorrow morning, please go to the court. Tell me this matter in detail, so I can record it and report it to the imperial court."
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, Bai Zhuo shouted angrily again: "Humph! I will also report to the imperial court how you and these two people have slandered the imperial court's appointment of officials, and how you and these two people have imposed unwarranted charges on Mr. Song's head." Tell the matter in detail. If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting, the Holy Majesty will naturally be able to discern the grievances in it, and return Lord Song justice."
Regarding Bai Zhuo's words, the county magistrate just gave him a cold look and didn't pay any attention to him.
"Go home!" He yelled loudly, beckoning the yamen servant to return directly to the yamen, leaving Bai Zhuo here.
Bai Zhuo followed closely behind them, chased to Song Wuya and said, "Brother Wuya, don't worry, my younger brother will definitely get you out. When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to give you justice!"
When he said this, his eyes looked at the county magistrate angrily.
The group of people gradually went away, Li Xiuqiong and his wife stood at the door, heaving a heavy sigh of relief.
"He almost exposed it! Fortunately, the county magistrate didn't suspect us!" Li Xiuqiong looked at his wife and sighed.
"Yes! Who would have thought that in order to slander a court official, we would ruin the life of our own son!" Mrs. Li cried again.
Seeing his wife crying, Li Xiuqiong comforted him: "Madam, don't be sad! Now that our son has passed away, there is nothing we can do to cry."
He clenched his fists, looked at Hongshan in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "These damn villains, they will die sooner or later!"
Just as the angry scolding came out, a sneer suddenly came from behind: "Master Li, who is this scolding for dying?"
Li Xiuqiong was startled immediately, and turned her head to look back, only to see a dressed-up person from the First Nursing Hospital walking behind him with a sneer on his face.
Seeing this person, Li Xiuqiong frowned and her face was full of nervousness: "What do you mean by that? How dare you talk to me like that? I think you don't want to do it? Tomorrow you can leave!"
Li Xiuqiong's words didn't make the man nervous at all, he clapped his hands and said, "Vendor Li is really a majestic man, fortunately, I'm used to it on weekdays. But now we have done what we asked you to do." Alright, then I don't need to go around in circles with you here."
After this person's words, Li Xiuqiong already knew who he was, and he was secretly startled, and only then did he understand why Song Wuya was so cautious.It never occurred to him that there were spies of Hongshan bandits in his manor.
"You..." Li Xiuqiong pointed at the man and said in horror, "Are you the spy of those bandits in Hongshan?"
"Huh? Master Li's words don't sound very nice, do they?" The man responded coldly, which was to clarify his identity.
It was only then that Li Xiuqiong came to her senses, and immediately changed her tone: "I! I really missed my point! I didn't expect you to take advantage of the loopholes! Now that you have done what you want me to do, what else do you have to say? Do you want to regret it?"
"It's not enough to repent. Otherwise, why should I expose my identity? I just need to cooperate with the inside and outside, and you, Fengshengzhuang, can't stop it!" This person threatened Li Xiuqiong without the slightest consideration, and every sentence It can make Li Xiuqiong scratch her head.
Li Xiuqiong's face was gloomy, trembling with anger, it took a long time to calm down her emotions, and said coldly to the person: "In this case, then we are settled, and please leave my Fengshengzhuang immediately!"
"Hehe!" The man was neither in a hurry nor annoyed at all. He looked at Li Xiuqiong and stretched out his hand suddenly: "Master Li, we have met for a while. I have worked hard for you , don’t you feel so happy about parting now? Don’t you think we should be more considerate about our farewell?”
Li Xiuqiong looked at this man with disgust, took a deep breath and said, "Housekeeper, give him 100 taels of silver and let him leave immediately!"
At this moment, Li Xiuqiong no longer cared about this little silver tael, and just opened her mouth to give 100 taels to this person directly.
Hearing this, the man was satisfied, he bowed his hands to Li Xiuqiong, nodded to Mrs. Li, turned around and left with the housekeeper.
"I didn't expect them to plant spies in our village!" Mrs. Li's face was already pale, and all what they said just now was heard by this guy. How can this make her not afraid, after all these people But they are all demons who kill without blinking an eye.
Li Xiuqiong took a deep breath and said nothing more.
But at this moment, Song Wuya and the others had already arrived at the gate of the city, and there was no one around on this road.Even so, they were still acting, and all of this was done according to Song Wuya's arrangement.As Song Wuya said, although they saw that there was no one around, it was hard to guarantee that some people with good eyesight could see what happened here from a distance.
"Master County Magistrate, I advise you not to treat Mr. Song badly! I don't think you should go to this prison!"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, Bai Zhuo reminded the county magistrate.After all, Song Wuya is an official ordered by the court, so it is really shameful to be imprisoned by him like this.
The county magistrate said coldly: "Okay! I can promise Master Bai about this matter, then let Master Song stay comfortably in my small place for a few days."
"Hmph! You're quite sensible." Bai Zhuo responded coldly and didn't say anything else.
The group of them returned to the city, and such a battle immediately attracted the attention of many people.They talked a lot, all guessing what was going on.There were quite a few insiders, but they were able to give a general idea, and all of a sudden there were overwhelming criticisms against Song Wuya.
It was not easy for Bai Zhuo and the magistrate along the way.In the previous discussion, Song Wuya avoided the others and quietly instructed the two of them.If there are spies of Hongshan bandits among them, then this is the best opportunity for them to pass on the news.
Three people and six eyes, all along the way were paying attention to the expressions and behaviors of the servants beside them.
Until the county government office, the three of Song Wuya didn't find anything unusual.
The county magistrate stopped at the door and turned to look at Bai Zhuo: "Master Bai, I think you should send it here! This county office is too small for me to arrange a place for Mr. Song, and I still need to work hard for a while. I really don't have the time to entertain you, Mr. Bai."
Looking at him, Bai Zhuo snorted coldly, turned his head and said to Song Wuya: "Brother Wuya, you have been wronged here for a few days, and I will rescue you in a short time."
Song Wuya nodded at him: "Brother Bai, remember to tell the emperor everything here. The most important thing is that the witnesses and evidence for this person's conclusion are really insufficient. As long as you explain this to the Holy One, I think the Holy Majesty will I will definitely believe that I was wronged, and I will be safe and sound by then."
"Brother Wu Ya, don't worry, this little brother knows." Bai Zhuo nodded in agreement.
When parting, Song Wuya said again: "Brother Bai, don't let Wen'er worry, don't tell her the truth!"
