The disappearance of the two young masters of the Song family caused an uproar in Chunxi Town. Many people were discussing where the two men had gone.

After Mr. Song disappeared last time, he was found with the dead Miss Xu. This time...

Some of the rumors were miraculous, saying that the Song family had offended the ghosts and gods and were taken away. Others pointed out that the Song family had a rooster come out to worship in place of a living person on the day of the Song family's wedding. Perhaps it was at that time that the ghosts and gods were angered. Of course, some people said that it was The dead Miss Xu came back for revenge.

Rumors spread all of a sudden.

Mrs. Song was very anxious, and Mr. Song also rushed back from other places. He was worried about his son, so he proposed to report to the official, but Mrs. Song refused to agree.

"It's not like you don't know that the government is incompetent. The new county magistrate is very young and of no use to him. What if we rashly report to the magistrate and anger the kidnappers and kill them?"

Mr. Song felt that what she said made sense, and he ran out of ideas for a while.

But before the Song family could report to the officials, the officials came to the door first.

"Please Mr. Song and Mrs. Song come with us."

The official business was completely different from the flattery he used to do when collecting money from himself.

Mr. Song was most afraid of dealing with people from the government, and his wife had always been in charge of family affairs, so he turned to Mrs. Song and wanted to seek her opinion.

But Mrs. Song's face was very ugly. There seemed to be panic in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

"What...what happened?"

The official said businesslikely: "You'll know when Madam gets there."

Mrs. Song couldn't even change her clothes. She and Mr. Song went to the government office together. There were many people around the gate of the county government office. When they saw them coming, they whispered and pointed at them.

Mr. Song didn't know why, so he greeted an acquaintance in the crowd, but the person quickly turned his head away, fearing that they might get involved. Mr. Song didn't care, but turned to look at his wife: "Madam, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No...nothing!" Mrs. Song said perfunctorily.

When they arrived at the county government office, they first saw the man sitting on the seat. He was a very handsome and young man. This was the new Magistrate Pei.

Mrs. Song turned her head and saw an old couple kneeling in the hall, and her expression changed immediately.

She knew these two people because they had been to the Song Mansion many times and were kicked out by the servants of the Song Mansion. Mrs. Song also met them several times...

They were Xu Yingying's parents. When the Xu family couple saw Mrs. Song, they showed strong emotions. Their cloudy eyes stared at Mrs. Song. It was strange that Mrs. Song was not afraid of them before, but today she saw But these two people felt trembling all over, as if something bad was about to happen.

Mrs. Song stood aside, clenching her fingers tightly under her sleeves, forcing herself to calm down, but she was so frightened that she almost screamed when Magistrate Pei slapped her in the face.

"Song Chengguo, Li Mutao, do you know why I asked you to come here?" County Commissioner Pei has a nice appearance and a nice voice, but Mrs. Song has no intention of appreciating it. She knows why!
Father Song shook his head in confusion: "The common people don't know."

Magistrate Pei seemed to smile, but didn't seem to. He only heard him say: "Xu Dayong and his wife are suing you for killing their daughter Xu Yingying. Do you agree with this?"

Song's father was completely stunned. When he heard Xu Yingying's name, he quickly turned around and glanced at the Xu family. Only then did he know what was going on. He quickly knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, we have never harmed anyone, but Xu. Yingying failed to pester my son and was killed by the kidnappers. The previous Magistrate Li has closed the case! Please take a closer look."

When the Xu couple heard this, they immediately said excitedly: "You are talking nonsense. My Yingying is well-behaved and sensible. She would never do such a thing."

The case of the daughter of the Xu family and the eldest son of the Song family was a sensation when it happened the year before last. The case was handled quickly at that time, so everyone knew that it was the situation reported by the government. But looking at the Xu family couple now, could there be something hidden?

Yes, there are indeed rumors in the county that the daughter of the Xu family was killed by Young Master Song. (End of chapter)
