"Charge?" Song Heng sighed. He was not convinced by Lai Weiqi's words. He looked at Xu Ying indifferently, not shocked by her identity at all. He said coldly, "Excuse me, Commander Lai, what is the charge of deliberately murdering my brother?!"
Lai Weiqi was stunned. He had received a tip from his subordinates and knew that Song Heng had gone out of the city late at night, so he rushed over to see. He didn't know what had happened specifically.
But he knew very well what had happened to Song Zhiyuan. After all, Song Zhiyuan had an accident in the imperial prison.
But... I don't know why Xu Ying appeared outside the city, and why Song Heng dared to shoot Xu Ying...
His many years of experience in handling affairs made him realize the unreasonableness of the situation. He immediately said, "You said someone deliberately murdered your brother. Are you referring to Mr. Xu? Do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, how can you conclude that it was him without any evidence, and kill someone without any trial?!"
At this point, we can only insist that Song Heng acted without interrogation, and we can delay the matter for now.
Song Heng suddenly laughed. He crossed his arms and looked at Lai Weiqi who was glaring at him. He said, "Let Commander Lai know that our family finally asked Sun Yuanpan and Doctor Hu to develop an antidote with the help of Taoist Master Xiuyuan from Baihe Temple. My father sent his trusted men to get the medicine, but they were intercepted and killed by these people on the way!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the people lying on the ground and raised his eyebrows coldly: "Commander Lai, these people want to kill my father and rob my brother's life-saving medicine. In my eyes, these people have only one identity, that is, bandits! Do I have to wait for them to kill all our people before arresting them for interrogation?!"
Come prepared!
Lai Weiqi only had these four words in his mind, and he was at a loss for words for a moment. He didn't really know what had happened, and his momentum suddenly dropped. He could only frown and say, "This is just your speculation. Maybe there is another reason?"
"No matter what the other reasons were, I witnessed him killing someone in my house with my own eyes. Isn't that enough for me to fight back?!"
Song Heng's eyes were sharp and his whole body was like a sharp sword, pressing forward step by step, making it impossible to resist. Lai Weiqi suddenly felt suffocated in his chest and looked at Song Heng in silence for a moment.
After a long while, he said in a cold voice: "There is no trial yet, so there is no conviction. After all, the other party is from the Duke's Mansion. You can't be so arbitrary. He is injured and unconscious now, and can't confront you. You should go back and find out the truth first."
Song Heng sneered, "That's perfect. I just want to get to the bottom of this matter. So many eyes are watching. Commander Lai, what did you see today? I'll have to trouble you to be a witness later."
Lai Weiqi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at him without saying a word for a while.
Song Heng turned around and asked Uncle Jiang: "Where's the medicine?"
Uncle Jiang was also shaky, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. He raised his hand several times before pointing it in the direction of Xu Ying: "It was... taken away by him..."
Lai Weiqi frowned.
In front of him, Song Heng strode towards Xu Ying with a torch in hand, shocking the guards from Chengguo Mansion around Xu Ying so much that they immediately stood in front of Xu Ying and looked at Song Heng vigilantly.
"Get lost!" Song Heng narrowed his eyes coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent. When Chen Dong and two Jinyiwei came up, he looked down at the two men. He didn't wait until they backed away before leaning over to take the box from Xu Ying in front of Lai Weiqi. He also shook it at Lai Weiqi and smiled meaningfully: "Commander Lai, look carefully, this is the medicine my brother is waiting for to save his life. Look carefully, I got it from the hands of this Second Master Xu."
Lai Weiqi had nothing to say and stared at Song Heng closely with a cold look in his eyes.
"I'm in a hurry to go back and rescue people. I'll leave this to Commander Lai. I believe Commander Lai will handle this impartially, right?" Song Heng smiled coldly, jumped on his horse, and actually didn't care about anything. He only left Chen Dong and others behind and left with the thing.
After this trip, not only did he fail to catch Song Heng in any trouble, but he actually helped Song Heng and became an eyewitness who could not deny the responsibility. Lai Weiqi felt disgusted, but he did not care about so much. He turned around and squatted down to check on Xu Ying's situation.
The situation was very bad. Xu Ying's wound was still bleeding. She had completely lost consciousness and her face was pale. His eyebrows jumped. He hurriedly took out the hemostatic pills from his arms and stuffed them into Xu Ying's mouth. Then he asked the two guards from the Chengguo Mansion who followed Xu Ying: "You..."
He stopped the question that was about to come out of his mouth in time, and stared coldly at Chen Dong and others who were treating Uncle Jiang's wounds not far away. Half a day later, he asked someone to find an ox cart nearby.
This place is too far from the city, and Xu Ying's injuries cannot withstand any further shaking. She can only find a doctor nearby, otherwise, someone would really die.
Everything was fine. I don't know why the Xu family rushed out to kill the Song family, and they were caught by Song Heng. Lai Weiqi was full of doubts. He was listening to the people around him saying that they had found a private house. Then he heard Uncle Jiang say to Chen Dong: "Something happened in the resting place... ... Some of us were ambushed. In order to protect the antidote, I rushed out with two brothers..."
... ... Lai Weiqi paused for a moment, and his expression became even colder - there was actually someone in front of him... ... This matter might be even more difficult to explain.
No, it’s not that it’s unclear, but it’s definitely only beneficial to the Song family.
After a lot of trouble, Lai Weiqi finally found a place to accommodate Xu Ying. He also asked someone to find a doctor. He and Chen Dong went to a place about ten miles away from Baihe Temple and found those people from the Xu and Song families.
Compared with Xu Ying and others who were discovered before, it was obvious that the Song family had the upper hand here. The Xu family only left three people here, one died and two were injured, while only two people from the Song family were slightly injured.
After finding all the people, Chen Dong asked Lai Weiqi: "Sir, should we take them back to the capital first?"
Lai Weiqi's expression was uncertain, and he just wanted to curse.
After enduring for a while, he said, "Two lives have been lost, so many people have been injured, and this is a big case involving the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion. We must be extremely cautious. Keep these people under guard first. When Mr. Xu's injury has eased, you can take these people back into the city."
Chen Dong walked around and didn't find anything unusual, so he agreed.
