After Xiaoqing received the order, she brought a few strong men with a hoe to Sun Dalong's house.

At this moment, when they looked at Sun Xiu and the Song duo in the hall, their faces were deathly pale. One look was enough to tell that there was a problem.

Putting aside the situation in the court, just the two of them, Little Qing and Little White, brought these brawny fellows and their young maidservants over to Sun Dalong's house.

It was already the middle of the night, and the neighbors had all fallen asleep. These lackeys had just eaten their fill and were now walking with heavy footsteps. As a result, they were quite noisy along the way.

At this moment, standing in Sun Dalong's house, the young maid had lit up all the lights in the house, making it seem brighter.

As the bluestone floors in the house were arranged so that it could be seen, and Sun Xiu had said that in order to reinforce the house, there were two layers of bluestone slabs, and it was impossible to see the light in the middle of the night.

Just like this, these men continued to dig for the entire night until they finally managed to dig open the stone slab.

It was already early in the morning. As they had been arguing for the entire night, the people in the neighborhood didn't sleep well. People came out to curse at the people in the street, but they didn't say much.

The one who didn't manage to slip away in time was sent to buy breakfast for everyone. At this time, Little Qing was blankly staring at the dirt under the limestone.

"Little White, take a look. Is there any problem with this dirt?" Little Qing pointed at the mud on the ground as she asked.

Lil 'White looked carefully and shook his head, saying that he really couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this moment, the person who bought breakfast came back. He had been tired of eating all night, and he had finished digesting most of the delicacies that he had eaten last night. Therefore, when he saw the food in front of him, he happily threw the hoe in his hand and went to get his breakfast.

When one of the picks hit the ground, it made a different sound than the others. Upon hearing this, the attentive Little Qing knew that there was a problem.

"No, there's something wrong with this piece of land!" Xiaoqing pointed to a tunnel in the middle of the room.

A few of the servants were eating the youtiao bean milk in their hands. Seeing that Xiaoqing had spoken, they could only eat their breakfast. Then, they swung their tools around and began to dig into the ground.

Not long after, there was a "dang" sound. The hoe seemed to have hit something hard. The group of people looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that there really was something wrong with the house.

Thinking of this, the messenger increased his speed. Not long later, a six-foot square stone slab appeared in the middle of the room. The group then broke the stone slab open and discovered that there was a large hole underneath. The hole was about five feet wide. When it opened, everyone could smell a terrible stench.

They were all from the yamen's entrance, so they could not be more familiar with this smell. It was the stench of corpses. When they saw the corpse, they picked the bravest one among the group to tie it up and hung him on the tree.

After the corpses appeared, everyone could see that the person dressed up was no stranger. It was none other than Sun Dalong, who had jumped into the sea to commit suicide that day!

When everyone saw this, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They were both surprised and happy. What surprised them was that Sun Dalong's corpse had actually been placed in such a dark place for several days. He was overjoyed that the mystery could be solved today.

When the corpse was found, everyone removed a door board and placed it on top of the door board before carrying it back to the yamen.

At this time, everyone in the court had fallen asleep, and when they heard the clamoring noise outside, they were woken up.

Luo Lingwei ordered everyone to wash their faces in cold water. They all mustered up their courage and continued with the trial.

When Sun Xiu and Madame Song saw that everyone had brought in their corpses, their bodies softened and their faces turned ashen.

Everyone took a look and knew that what Luo Lingwei said was indeed true. They all praised Luo Lingwei for being so observant and calculating.

At this time, there was evidence, so Sun Xiu and the Song family could only truthfully confess.

It turned out that the Song family and Sun Xiu had already known each other for a long time. The two of them had a similar relationship. On that day, Sun Xiu was planning to go to the Song family and ask her parents for a marriage. However, when he went there, he coincidentally bumped into the matchmaker sent by Zhixian. He accidentally overheard the news that Zhixian was going to betroth the Song family to Sun Dalong.

Sun Xiu's heart was burning with anxiety. That night, she went to report this matter to Madam Song. The Song family was also burning with anxiety, but since their parents had already agreed to this marriage, they couldn't make the decision themselves. Sun Xiu thought that at most, he would take Mrs. Song far away, only to be seen by Sun Dalong that very night as he was tidying up the house.

Sun Xiu had no choice but to lie and say that he was going to his hometown to pay respects to his parents, so Sun Delong didn't pursue the matter. Sun Xiu had originally arranged for the Song Family to marry Sun Dalong on the night of their wedding.

But unexpectedly this matter was known by Sun Delong, although Sun Delong was a kind person. However, he could not tolerate the adultery between his soon-to-be-married wife and his own son. Thinking back, although Sun Xiu was his son, he was still the descendant of his benefactor.

Therefore, he drugged Sun Xiu's wine that night, and Sun Xiu only woke up at noon the next day.

On the other side of the table, Sun Delong lied to Mrs. Song that night that Sun Xiu was not willing to take charge of adultery, so he did not come to take her away. If the Song family wanted to protect Sun Xiu's reputation, they could only marry her. After thinking for a while, the Song family decided to marry Sun Dalong.

The next day, Sun Xiu saw that her former lover was so intimate with her foster father. She was ashamed that she could not carry him far away, so she moved out that day without even taking her clothes.

The Song family and Sun Xiu truly loved each other. Although Sun Xiu had left, his clothes were still there. Thus, the Song family often took him out to read people's thoughts.

Later on, this matter was found out by Sun Dalong, who was so angry that he beat and scolded Madame Song. Although Sun Delong was very polite to the commoners, he was still a boorish person. Madam Song was like a flower and jade in age, how could she bear such insults and beatings?

Later on, when Sun Xiu found out about this matter, although Sun Xiu appeared calm on the surface, he had already made his plans.

That day, he disguised himself and went to find Yang Half Immortal. He told him that today, there were stalls on the streets, and if he met a messenger, he would say that he would definitely die today.

That day, Yang Banxian and Sun Delong went to the side of the street to confront Sun Xiu, who was cursing at them. That night, Madame Song placed the medicine prepared by Sun Xiu into the wine and gave it to Sun Dalong to drink.

At this time, Sun Xiu was already hiding in the room. After Sun Dalong fell asleep, Sun Xiu took the opportunity to kill him and throw him into the room. After dealing with the corpse, he ran out with disheveled hair.
