The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 229 Street Accident

The leading yamen runner glanced at the face of the Song family master and saw that he was full of anger. He immediately bowed to the Song family master and said, "Master Song, please accept my condolences. I will go to check the situation over there first."

"Well, go and have a look. By the way, those who died over there were all servants of my Song family. My son's hand was also broken. I hope that Officer Zhao will handle the case impartially and bring the person who hurt my son to justice and severely punish him, so as to reassure the people and restore peace to the world."

"Yes, yes, Master Song is right. I'll go take a look first. By the way, who hurt your son?"

"That person." The head of the Song family raised his hand and pointed at Qi Yan.

Zhao Yayi looked over and met Qi Yan's cold eyes.

Zhao's eyes flickered, and he thought for a moment before waving his hand and taking two other servants with him to go towards Qi Yan.

Walking to Qi Yan's side, Zhao Yayi glanced at the people standing behind Qi Yan, then retracted his gaze and looked at Qi Yan again, "Did you kill these people?"

"Didn't you see that they all drew their knives?" Qi Yan asked instead of answering.

Zhao the yamen runner nodded. The dead servants of the Song family did have knives in their hands, but that couldn't be said to be the reason why Qi Yan killed people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yayi also asked, "But you can't kill someone for this."

"They are planning to rebel, so why can't we just kill them?" Qi Yan opened his thin lips and said a few words lightly, which shocked everyone present again.

The air around seemed to be frozen, and the bustling streets became even quieter than before.

"You, what did you say?" Zhao Yayi asked again after a long while.

He must have heard it right. Saying that the servants of the Song family were planning to rebel was probably too much of an accusation.

"They just said they were going to raid my master's house. May I ask who in Dayong could issue such an order? Is it the Song family? Or the prefect of Yangzhou?!"

"This...is this true?" Although Zhao the yamen runner was a rough man, he had been a yamen runner for many years and he knew that there were some things that could not be said casually.

The servant Zhao turned around to look at the head of the Song family, and saw that the servant who was kneeling at the feet of the head of the Song family suddenly trembled.

How could he not understand this? Besides, there were so many people watching around. With so many people, there were bound to be a few who wouldn't keep their mouths shut.

This time he can't help the Song family cover up this matter.

However, Zhao Yayi is not a man without vision. Now that the Song family has not collapsed, he does not have to take responsibility for this matter.

When Zhao Yayi turned around to face Qi Yan, his expression had changed. "Although what they said is wrong, it doesn't give you a reason to kill people in the street. You still have to go to the yamen with us. The prefect will make the final decision."

Qi Yan glanced at Qi Lingheng, and seeing Qi Lingheng nodded slightly to him, he said, "Then let's all go to the government office together."

"How can I do this? I still need to treat my son's injury. His palm was cut off by that thief..."

"If one of them doesn't go, I won't go either." Qi Yan folded his arms and looked at Zhao the yamen runner.

"Well, he really needs medical treatment first... Then, Master Song, why don't you call a doctor and carry Young Master Song to the yamen together?" Yamen runner Zhao said halfway when he saw the coldness in Qi Yan's eyes. He subconsciously shook his body and then began to persuade Master Song.

"You!" The head of the Song family stared at the runner Zhao and thought to himself that he would wait until his son had dealt with the matter today, and then he would definitely ask Prefect Hong to dismiss the runner Zhao.

Finally, Zhao left a few runners here to deal with the bodies of the servants, which would be taken to the government office later.

He took Qi Yan, the head of the Song family and others to the Yangzhou government office.

At this time, in Yangzhou Prefecture, Magistrate Hong was having fun with his new concubine in the backyard.

The official he dismissed yesterday sent him two concubines overnight. It is said that these two concubines were originally kept by him.

But suddenly encountering what happened yesterday, he hurriedly sent the two concubines to his house. It is said that the two concubines had never been touched by that man and were both virgins.

At this time, the two concubines had shy expressions on their faces. One of them was leaning against the arms of Prefect Hong with her clothes half removed, and said to Prefect Hong coquettishly, "Master, please, please have another drink."

"Okay, okay, I'll have another drink." Magistrate Hong took the hand of the person in his arms and drank the wine brought by the beauty.

The other concubine was not to be outdone. She held a piece of fruit in her hand and passed it to Prefect Hong's mouth, "Master, please try this fruit too."

"Okay, I'll have a taste of your fruit too..."

The two women in the room took turns to show off their unique skills and try to please Prefect Hong.

Although these two women were innocent, they were the skinny horses that were most in demand in Yangzhou City. After being bought by the official, they had already thought about the life they would face in the future.

However, they didn't expect that the master who bought them didn't even touch them, but gave them to another master.

Before coming, the two were threatened, saying that if they did not serve the master well, the people who bought them would sell them to the lowest-class brothel.

After hearing this threat, the two women could only use the skills they had been trained to please the man in front of them after arriving at Magistrate Hong's backyard.

"Master, Master, something bad has happened!" Just as Magistrate Hong was in high spirits and had begun to undress the woman, when he heard a servant's cry from outside.

"What's wrong?" Magistrate Hong frowned unconsciously when he heard the shouts from outside.

He pushed the woman in his arms away and opened the door. "You'd better have a good reason, or I'll skin you alive!"

Which man can stand being interrupted by an outsider when he is in high spirits?

Besides, the drinks they just drank had drugs added to them to help with sexual pleasure.

At this time, Magistrate Hong felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. He was thinking about having sex with the two women first, and then skinning the person who disturbed his interest.

"Master! Someone has died in the city."

"There are always people who die because of this?" There was obvious anger in Magistrate Hong's tone.

With red eyes, he looked at the bailiff kneeling outside the door.

The yamen runner did not dare to raise his head, his forehead lowered to the ground, "Master, it is the Song family who died, seven or eight people died, Song..."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Magistrate Hong kicked the kneeling yamen runner in front of him and walked out, holding his robe.

The Song family is his wife's family. Some things that he is not convenient to do on a daily basis will be handed over to the Song family. Therefore, the Song family and he have actually been a family that shares the same fate.

So many people from the Song family died, something big must have happened.

After walking a few steps, Magistrate Hong's mind, which had just been affected by the drugs and alcohol, gradually became clear.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed the collar of the yamen runner and shouted, "Who died in the Song family, who killed the Song family, where is the person now?"

"Master, seven servants of the Song family died, and the murderer was a foreign man. At this time, everyone has been taken to the lobby in front by Zhao Yayi, so I came to call you."

This means going to court.

Then he can't wear his current clothes.

Prefect Hong said to the messenger, "Go to the front and ask them to wait. Tell them that I have some unfinished business."

He has to change into official uniform before going over.

After saying that, Magistrate Hong turned in another direction and walked quickly towards another path.

As for the two women in the room behind him, he didn't have time to take care of them now, but since these two people had been sent to his house, they would stay in the room obediently.

By the time Magistrate Hong changed into his official uniform and arrived at the government hall, half an hour had passed.

"The prefect has arrived!" a bailiff shouted loudly in the hall.

For a moment, the hall inside and outside fell silent.

Prefect Hong walked around the screen wall and glanced at the crowd below.

Just this one glance almost made him lose his balance.

Although there were many people below, there were a few among them whom he had just seen yesterday.

The people following Magistrate Hong hurriedly helped him up, preventing him from falling to the ground.

The man didn't understand and looked into the hall. He had a low status, so he had not been to the Qi Mansion yesterday, let alone met Qi Lingheng and his group.

In the lobby, he was only familiar with the head of the Song family, but the head of the Song family did not look very good at this moment.

"Why don't you bring a chair for Master Song?"

"Your humble servant greets the Grand Princess and the King of Qi."

In the hall, two voices sounded at the same time.

It was the man who had just helped Prefect Hong, and Prefect Hong himself.

Prefect Hong immediately glanced at the man who had just spoken and said, "You have no right to speak here. Get out of here right now."

Then Magistrate Hong came down from the platform and went straight into the lobby.

The head of the Song family thought that Magistrate Hong was looking for him, so he immediately stepped forward, pulled up Magistrate Hong's sleeve, and cried anxiously, "Brother-in-law, you must take care of the Song family. Your nephew's palm was cut off by this thief. Look, your nephew hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing what Patriarch Song said, Magistrate Hong's eyes suddenly widened. He glanced at the man lying on the door panel, then quickly looked at the person Patriarch Song pointed at.

That person was the man who had been disrespectful to him in Qi Mansion before.

But this man is a guard of the Qi Mansion. They just came to Yangzhou yesterday. How come they are involved with this kind of thing with the Song Family today?

Seeing the sharp look from Prefect Hong, Patriarch Song seemed to just remember what Prefect Hong had just said.

In fact, when Magistrate Hong and the other person spoke together just now, Magistrate Hong's voice was a little low, so his words were suppressed by the other voice.

Now, everyone came to their senses and started searching the lobby.

"Someone come and bring two chairs for the princess and the King of Qi." Magistrate Hong flicked his sleeves and shook off the hand that was still pulling his sleeve.

Soon, the bailiffs brought two chairs and placed them in the lobby.

Prefect Hong half-bent his body and personally led Su Tang and Qi Lingheng to the chairs.

"Princess, Your Highness Prince Qi, please take a seat."

In any case, it would be right to arrange for the princess and the King of Qi to sit down first.

As for what to do next, a hint of coldness flashed in Magistrate Hong's eyes.

If the Song family offends Su Tang and the others, he won't be able to protect them.

Su Tang and Qi Lingheng didn't say a word the whole time, just watched Prefect Hong make arrangements in the lobby.

At this time, many people gathered outside the hall. Today's incident was really too big. Those who witnessed today's incident on the street wanted to see whether those who killed the Song family could be safe.

However, among the people who were watching just now, there were some with good hearing who heard what Governor Hong said.

"Why is there a princess?"

"Yes, but there are indeed three women in it. They can't all be princesses."

"Oh, do you think the princess is a cabbage? How can there be so many?"

"You'll know in a moment, just wait and see..."

The onlookers were watching outside the lobby, and from time to time someone would whisper a few words.

When Magistrate Hong saw that there was no change in the expressions of Su Tang and Qi Lingheng, he felt a little relieved and walked back to the desk in the court.

Magistrate Hong did not bang the gavel today. He glanced at Su Tang and Qi Lingheng, then looked into the hall, "Who is the victim, here?"

The head of the Song family was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his expression, as if the person who just recognized his relatives in the hall was not him. He bowed to the prefect Hong in the hall and replied: "Your Excellency the prefect, I am the head of the Song family, Song Qian. The injured person on the ground is my son, and the few dead over there are my servants."

"Who are the murderers and the wounders?"

"It's him!" The head of the Song family pointed his finger at Qi Yan again.

Prefect Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the head of the Song family, and then quickly glanced at Su Tang and Qi Lingheng who were sitting below.

"Well, why did this suspect commit murder?"

"Those people attacked my master with knives first. Can't I kill them?" Qi Yan's words frightened Governor Hong so much that he stood up.

He looked at Qi Lingheng in horror, and seeing that his expression did not change and he could not see any emotion, he turned to look at the dead servants of the Song family.

At this time, the swords that the servants had carried were still placed in the lobby, which was irrefutable evidence.

Although the swords of those men were not stained with blood, the fact that so many swords were drawn was enough to prove that the servants were about to chop Qi Lingheng and the others to pieces.

"Pah!" Magistrate Hong was still standing behind the table at this time, but he slapped the table heavily with his right hand, and shouted at the head of the Song family in the hall with great momentum, "You bold and unruly people, do you know who the Song family servants are going to chop down? Why don't you kneel down quickly!!"

The head of the Song family was stunned. He had never expected that although the Song family was clearly the victim today, Magistrate Hong in the hall was biased towards others.

This has never happened before.

Is it possible? !

The head of the Song family looked at the two people sitting in the lobby with a look of surprise.

He vaguely recalled that someone on the street had mentioned something about a princess and a prince.

"Why don't you kneel down?!" An angry shout was heard like thunder exploding in the court, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Magistrate Hong's face turned ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, and he slammed the table again.

The yamen runners below were shocked when they saw this and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

They acted quickly and well-trainedly, and one of them raised his foot without hesitation and kicked the head of the Song family hard in the knee.
