Song Gaozhong and his party of eight people found all the vegetable oil stored in the Song family's warehouse, found a reliable coachman, parked a carriage at the back door, quietly carried the vegetable oil to the car, and the eight people squeezed into a carriage and drove towards the official post.

The carriage stopped in front of the official post, Song Gaozhong and Fang Chun stepped off the carriage first, and the two slowly approached the gate of the official post, and the four guards in front of the gate saw Song Gaozhong and Fang Chun, and immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Song Gaozhong pretended to be calm and said: "I am Song Shilang's younger brother, looking for Song Shilang..." Song Gaozhong and Fang Chun suddenly raised their hands and sprinkled the drug in their hands on the four people, and the four of them immediately fell into a coma.

Song Gaozhong and Fang Chun immediately walked into the official post, saw the guards and arrest fast to follow the previous method, and soon the more than a dozen fast catchers and servants in the official post were all unconscious, including the entourage brought by the patrol envoy, and then Song Gaozhong asked Fang Chun to observe the surrounding situation, Song Gaozhong took down his steps and quietly approached the official post house, as long as he noticed which room had any traces, he took out the smoke pipe, gently pierced the window paper, and blew the smoke into the room, and waited for Fang Chun to stun everyone else, Song Gaozhong and Fang Chun quietly came to the main hall of the official post and saw Li Zhifu and Zheng Guanshi sitting in front of the hall, On both sides of the main hall sat Qu Zaifan, Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Congxi, Mrs. Li, and there was a person who leaned forward and couldn't see his face clearly, but looking at his clothes and figure, he also knew that it was Song Gaoyang, Cai Hu and Zhang Yan were tied up hands and feet, kneeling under the hall, and the cloth was still blocked in their mouths, and there was a puppet standing next to Cai Hu, Zheng Guanshi looked at Song Gaoyang and said: "Song Shilang rest assured, if what Song Shilang said is true, this matter has nothing to do with Song Shilang, Song Shilang killed his relatives in righteousness, which is respectable and admirable. ”

Zheng Guanshi didn't wait for Song Gaoyang to answer, and looked at Qu Zaichen and Qu Zaifan and said: "Song Shilang just said that the reason why he was able to make up his mind to give up his relatives for the public is also thanks to the persuasion of Lord Qu and Qu Ergongzi, the truth of this case can be revealed, and the two of them are also indispensable, and the official will also make a credit for Lord Qu, but Qu Ergongzi is not from the official mansion..."

Song Gaoyang gritted his teeth when he heard this, Song Gaoyang, the bastard, really betrayed them for the sake of his own life and future, and picked himself clean. Song Gaozhong immediately took out the last three smoke pipes, and blew all the smoke into the main hall in one breath, and after seeing everyone or fainting on the table, or fainting on the ground, he immediately came to the carriage outside the official post with Fang Chun, and asked the rest of the Song family to carry the vegetable oil off the car, and the Song family of eight people carried the vegetable oil into the official post, and worked together to pour the vegetable oil on the walls and windows of the official post house, especially on the doors and windows of the main hall. The Song family stood outside the house, Song Gaozhong asked everyone to take out the fire fold and light the fire together in different rooms, Mrs. Song said: "Wait a minute, wait, I want to go into the house and take a look at Gao Yang again, he is my son after all, or. Why don't we take Gao Yang out, and let him stay in the dungeon with Lao Wu in the future, so that he won't threaten your life? ”

Before Song Gaozhong could speak, suddenly a voice came from afar: "Why are there no guards at the gate of the official post, it seems that I saw four guards just now?" Another voice said, "Maybe I was called in by the adults inside." The first voice said, "If you are called in by an adult, you shouldn't leave the door open, or let's go in and have a look, in case something happens inside." Another voice added, "As long as you worry about it all day, you wait for me, and I will put down the burden on my shoulders before going in, so as not to bump into the adults inside." ”

The hands of the eight members of the Song family trembled in shock, they all stiffened and held their breath, they didn't dare to move, they didn't dare to make a sound, Song Gao hurriedly whispered: "Mother, there is no time, lest you have a long night and many dreams, light a fire, otherwise we will all die here today." ”

Everyone nodded, Mrs. Song was not good at forcing it, so she had to endure her grief and take out the fire fold, and the others had also taken out the fire fold, Song Gao said solemnly: "Light the fire." ”

Everyone just blew the flames, suddenly the wrists of the eight people hurt at the same time, the fire fold immediately fell to the ground, and the stone that hit the wrist also fell to the ground and jumped, the eight people looked up in shock, and saw Zheng Guanshi, Li Zhifu, Qu Zaichen, and Yun Xian standing in front of the main hall door, Yun Xian was still playing with a stone in his hand, and at the same time, there was a sound of footsteps around him, and everyone in the Song family turned around and saw those guards who were stunned by them, and at this moment they surrounded them. Zheng observed Shi and said loudly: "Song Shilang really had a clever plan, and he actually guessed that everyone in the Song family would come to the official post to set fire to the mouth, fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise we would have been buried here today." When the people came, the eight members of the Song family burned down the official post with a fire and killed the court officials and many lives, and the crime was not punishable, so they were immediately brought back to the government for trial. ”

The officials immediately stepped forward, tied up the people of the Song family who were still stunned, and escorted them to the government office.

In the hall of the government, Zheng Inspector tried the case overnight, sitting in the hall, Li Zhifu stood beside Zheng Guanshi, two classes of officials held long canes, standing majestically, and the eight members of the Song family all knelt under the hall.

Inspector Zheng patted the hall and said: "Song Feng, Li Lianlian, Liu Hong, Song Gaozhong, He Wen, Song Gaoqing, Fang Chun, Song Gaoqiu, the eight of you are angry and burn down the official post and murder many lives. This official asked you, you plotted to kill the official and the official post people, but as Song Shilang said, the eight of them worked together to murder Song Gaoyuan, and seeing that Song Shilang killed his relatives in righteousness and no longer covered you, therefore, you want to kill all the people who know the case to kill the mouth, Song Gaozhong, you say it first? ”

The eight members of the Song family knew that the matter was irreparable, and they would definitely die, they were all stunned and stiff, and their eyes were scattered, Song Gaozhong heard the words of Inspector Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "What a good one to protect us, and a good one to kill relatives?" Lord Zheng, Song Gaoyang is talking nonsense, so far, we can't escape death, but Song Gaoyang gave up all our lives for the future of his life, and I can't let him have a good time, I'll tell you the truth..."

"Shut up, Gao Yang is your eldest brother, we have no way to live, let your eldest brother live well." Old Madam Song interrupted loudly.

Song Gaozhong said angrily: "When Song Gaoyang betrayed us, did you think that he was my eldest brother? Who forced us to have no way to live, he not only betrayed us, but also guessed that we would set fire to kill people, deliberately let the government get the stolen goods, and arrest us, did he ever think about giving us a way to live? Song Gaoyang forced us to kill us just to kill him, we are all dead, and no one knows about his murder. Lord Zheng, it was not only eight of us who killed my second brother, but nine of them, and Song Gaoyang also participated, and the deadliest knife in my second brother's chest was stabbed by Song Gaoyang. ”

Song Gaozhong elaborated on the murder of Song Gaoyuan by the nine members of the Song family that night, and then glanced at the rest of the Song family: "They can all testify." ”

Fang Chun's face turned from despair to anger, and he also said angrily: "Yes, I can testify that the third brother is right, Song Gaoyang also participated in the killing of the second brother." ”

Song San's wife, He Wen, said: "I can also testify that what Gao Zhong said is true. ”

Song Gaoyang's wife, Liu Hong, although she guessed that Song Gaoyang would not read the relationship between husband and wife, still felt resentful in front of her, and also said: "I can also testify that Song Gaoyang did kill Song Gaoyuan with us." ”

Song Gaoqing, Song Gaoqiu, Old Lady Song, and Old Lady Song all bowed their heads and were silent.

Zheng observed history and said: "Song Gaoqiu, Song Gaoqing, what about you, can you see Song Gaoyang kill Song Gaoyuan with your own eyes, what Song Gaozhong said is true?" ”

Song Gaoqing and Song Gaoqiu looked up at each other, hesitated for a moment and nodded, "What the third brother said is true." ”

Zheng observed history: "Song Feng, what Song Gaozhong said is true? ”

Old lady Song hesitated and didn't speak, Zheng observed Shi and said: "Song Feng, you are old, and the official doesn't want to punish you, so he let you tell the truth, do you really want the official to use the punishment?" ”

Old lady Song immediately said: "Yes, what Gao Zhong said is true. ”

Zheng Guanshi looked at Old Madam Song and said: "Li Lianlian, your actions just now prove that you are favoring Song Gaoyang, your testimony is not credible, don't say it, anyway, there are enough witnesses now, not to be worse than you." Get them to sign for it. ”

The clerk who recorded the testimony next to him immediately picked up the testimony he had just written and asked the seven members of the Song family to sign and sign it one by one. Then the secretary office handed over the testimony of the detained prisoner to Inspector Zheng, who glanced at it and said in a loud voice: "Take Song Gaoyang to the court." ”

After a while, Song Gaoyang slowly walked into the court, and behind Song Gaoyang, Yun Xian, Qu Zaichen, Qu Zaifan, Congxi, Mrs. Li, and Song Gaodu also walked into the court together.

Song Gaoyang saw that Inspector Zheng was sitting in the hall, and the eight members of the Song family were all kneeling under the hall, stunned for a moment, and stabilized his mind and thought: "The Song family has fallen for the trick of the Qu family, I don't know what happened on this day, so I will ask clearly." Hmph, the song is in the dust, if there is a chance, I will not let you go to heaven and earth. ’

Song Gaoyang said cautiously: "I have seen Zheng Observation History, it turns out that Zheng Observation History has arrived in Jinzhou, I still want to go to meet Zheng Observation History in person, first with Zheng Observation History, but I didn't expect to be left in Qu Mansion by Qu Er Gongzi, and failed to welcome Zheng from afar, Song was rude." ”

Zheng observed Shi calmly and said: "The matter of the second prince of Qu forcibly leaving Song Shilang as a guest in the Qu Mansion, the second prince of Qu has made it clear to the official that although the second son of Qu has bad behavior, it is also a helpless move to help the official investigate the case, please bear with Song Shilang." ”

Song Gaoyang was a little surprised, and said in a panic: "Zheng observes the case referred to by Shi, but others falsely accuse my Song family of working together to kill my second brother, Zheng observes Shi Zhi wisely, don't listen to others' words, my Song family will never do such a thing as a beast." ”

When the old lady Song, the old lady Song, the eldest lady of Song, Song Gaozhong, the third lady of Song, Song Gaoqing, Fang Chun, and Song Gaoqiu heard this, they all opened their eyes wide, turned their heads to look at Song Gaoyang, and didn't understand why Song Gaoyang was still defending the Song family, didn't he already betray them?

Zheng Guanshi: "If it wasn't what others said, what if your Song family admitted it personally?" Song Gaoyang, except for Li Lianlian, the seven members of the Song family personally admitted that you Song Gaoyang, Old Lady Song, Old Lady Song, Mrs. Song, Song Gaozhong, Third Lady Song, Song Gaoqing, Fang Chun, Song Gaoqiu, the nine of you worked together to kill Song Gaoyuan, and you stabbed Song Gaoyuan in the chest.

Song Gaoyang, the seven members of the Song family have signed and drawn the charge, plus the location of the wound on Song Gaoyuan's body, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qu Er as circumstantial evidence. You killed your brother with your own hands, the evidence is conclusive. Song Gaoyang, this official removed you from the post of squire in accordance with the law, and you have other suspected crimes, which will be investigated and punished together. ”

Song Gaoyang was surprised and unbelievable, stunned for a moment, his body lost his strength, he took a few steps back, and almost fell, Song Gaodu hurriedly took a few steps forward and supported Song Gaoyang.

Song Gaoyang's body trembled for a while, he struggled to stabilize his mind, glared at Qu Zaichen and said, "How did you get my family to confess, and it was a discordant plan?" ”
