A few days later.

Song Chou was pacing back and forth in the dark room. There was a name in the Jiangling Battle that had been circulated in the army a while ago that made him uneasy. This name seemed like a thorn. Every time he thought about it, he felt like his heart was being stabbed.

Stung it.

After many inquiries, he confirmed that the young man who had made meritorious service in Jiangling was indeed the son of his elder brother Song Jin.

He thought Song Xin had been beheaded, but he couldn't figure out how the boy survived and how he came to Xiangyang.

However, Song Chou was not stupid, and he knew that Song Xin was definitely targeting him.

Every time he thought of Song Xin, he couldn't help but think of Song Jin, whose face was covered in blood, and the curse he made before his death.

When he died, his eyes were wide open, and the hatred in his eyes did not disappear with the passing of his life. Instead, it turned into a brand, burning on Song Chou's heart.

"My son will definitely avenge me in the future..." Every time he thought of this sentence, Song Chou would tremble all over and wake up in the middle of the night.

He finally decided to strike first and found two good school officials, asking them to put Song Xin in jail first, and then find someone to send poisoned wine in.

"I don't know if the one named Mo has been successful." Song Chou frowned and became even more upset. But he didn't know that Boss Mo and the two school officials had been secretly detained.

"Dong dong."

"Come in!" Song Chou heard someone knocking on the door and responded angrily.

A servant's voice came from outside the door, "Master Wei Xuan, please invite the captain to come over."

"What's wrong with this old guy..." He cursed in his heart. If it weren't for his playboy son, he wouldn't be so frightened.

...

Wei Xuan was not having a good time these days. First, his son became a crazy person, and then rumors spread from unknown sources that he was harboring Soochow spies.

Seeing Song Chou come in, Wei Xuan immediately asked: "Have you heard the recent rumors in the city?"

"You don't know yet, please let me know."

"There are rumors that you and I are spies for Sun Quan. This is a head-turning thing, and you don't even know?"

Although Song Chou was frightened, he still managed to calm down. Now that Song Xin's matter has not been resolved, it would be a great disadvantage for him to have such rumors spread again.

"Sir, who spread this rumor?"

Wei Xuan looked at Song Chou with complicated eyes and said, "If I knew, what would I want you to do? Aren't you usually very smart? Why don't you go check it out!?"

Song Chou looked helpless and cursed in his heart: "I just know about this, why don't you check..." But he skillfully put on a sad face and said: "Sir, the current situation is so chaotic, how can we do it?

I can check it out.”

Wei Xuan rolled his eyes at him and asked: "I will leave this matter to you to investigate. You will be given three days to find the person who spread the rumor."

"Young man...take the order." Although the boss in his heart was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Wei Xuan's wishes.

"Where can we start investigating this..." Song Chou walked out of Wei Xuan's house in a disturbed mood. At this time, he heard someone calling him on the street corner. When he looked up, he saw that it was a jailer.

The jailer whispered: "Captain, that boy has been let go."

"What? What's going on?" Song Chou was shocked. The news was like a bolt from the blue. He hurriedly pulled the jailer to a secluded place.

"The man surnamed Mo missed his hand. Someone from the school office came and released him."

Song Chou felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate, and he lost his voice: "Dian...Dian School Office! When did it happen?"

"Just two or three days ago."

"The boy drank poisonous wine and is not dead yet?"

The jailer said: "One of the men named Mo accidentally knocked over the wine. Later, the boy didn't know what he said to the prisoners, and they actually turned against him and restrained him."

"Where is the person named Mo now?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The jailer carefully looked around and said, "Mo and the two school officials are being detained by the school office. I'm afraid they won't survive..."

Song Chou felt his body go limp and almost fell down. Being stared at by someone from the School Office was even more frightening than seeing a ghost.

After sending away the jailer who had reported the news, Song Chou felt paralyzed all over and felt an inexplicable fear. He felt as if everyone around him was a spy from the School Office.

Suddenly, a voice called his name from behind him. Song Chou turned his head in shock and saw that it was a stranger.

"You...who are you?"

"I am the one who can save you. If you want to live, just follow me."

...

When Song Xin left the school office that day, it was already sunset. Halfway there, he suddenly heard Lin Danda calling his name. Seeing that he had a nervous look on his face and kept looking around, he might have encountered something.

Already.

"What's wrong?"

"Young master, please take a moment to speak."

I followed Lin Danda to a dilapidated small courtyard. As soon as I entered, I saw seven or eight people, all prisoners who were released that day.

They surrounded a corpse and a small man huddled in the corner, obviously frightened.

Seeing Song Xin come in, these people only forced out very unnatural smiles.

Lin Danda then said: "Sir, I'm presumptuous, but this matter is urgent..."

"What happened to the corpse on the ground?" Song Xin asked directly.

"Master, please forgive me. We acted on our own and caused trouble..." Lin Danda suddenly knelt down, "Please save me, master..."

Song Xin frowned and asked, "What did you do?"

"We followed the instructions and went out to inquire about Song Chou. But after hearing what happened to the young master, we all felt that we could not let Song Chou off easily, so... we spread rumors that he was an enemy spy. When we came back today, we found that

Here is the body of a brother.”

Song Xin shook his head slightly, not wanting to blame them, because Song Chou might indeed be an enemy soldier. Song Xin pointed at the corpse and asked:

"When was it discovered?"

Lin Danda whispered: "It was at the end of the day that someone threw it at the door..."

Song Xin's eyebrows twitched. It was not that time, that was between one and three o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, he was still outside the city and preparing to enter the city.

"Have you seen anyone?"

"He was the only one here at that time. He was so scared when he saw the corpse that he didn't dare to come out to check. This dead man was also our brother." As he said this, he pointed to the little man in the corner.

"When the villain came back and looked at it, he thought it was a letter with his head sent by someone." Lin Danda expressed his judgment.

"Head letter?"

"Well, it's not surprising that the young master doesn't know. Head letters are a slang term for those of us. They use dead people to warn us not to talk nonsense. My brothers are too scared to go out anymore."

Seeing their frightened expressions, Song Xin took a breath and said, "Let me see the bodies."

Everyone made a way, and Song Xin walked to the body, squatted down to check, and asked, "What happened to his eyes and ears?"

Lin Danda said: "If it weren't for the fact that the eyes and ears were gone, the villain wouldn't have seen that this was a letter with a human head. This means that we should not read randomly, ask around, and talk...his tongue

It’s probably gone too.”

Song Xin opened the mouth of the dead body and examined it. It was true that the dead body had no tongue.

Glancing at these frightened people, Song Xin said: "I think he just wanted to warn you. If he wanted to kill you, he would have done it long ago. This brother died in an unknown way. Afterwards, he gave his parents some money and helped him bury him.

Alright."

Song Xin took out a bunch of money. Lin Danda and others didn't know whether to accept it or not. They hesitated for a while and said: "Sir,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, you just gave me gold, how come..."

"Take it, he died serving me, I should do the same."

Lin Danda was so moved that she shed tears. Whether they were dignitaries or traffickers, there were few who did not regard them as human beings. She never expected that Song Xin would be so loyal to them.

"Young master has been so kind to us. From now on, Lin Danda will repay you even if he goes to the knife mountain or the frying pan."

"No need, I guess this matter is related to something I investigated recently." Song Xin's first impression was that this matter had something to do with Song Chou and Wei Xuan.

"By the way, have any of you heard of Luyuncheng?"

Lin Danda and others looked at each other and shook their heads, but the man who had been huddled in the corner and shivering said, "I think I've heard of it somewhere..."

Everyone looked over immediately and heard Lin Danda say: "Where have you seen me? Tell Mr. Song quickly!"

"It's been a long time, oh, not too long, about two years ago..."

Song Xin listened to the black line, two years ago is not that long...

"Where were you two years ago?"

"Well... at that time, the villain went to steal, oh no, to borrow something, and I heard someone mention this name."

Song Xin frowned and asked, "Who is he and where is he?"
