The county magistrate wrinkled his brow in hesitation.

They called the dead a big man. They wouldn't have asked for a coroner to examine a corpse if they hadn't encountered any serious problems. They also didn't want to get a coroner to examine a corpse if they were stopped by a family member.

To move the corpse of a dead man in rags was to be punished by the heavens.

However …

He looked at Meng Ling Xuan, who was standing below the hall, and started to hesitate.

Song Dabao seized the opportunity and immediately complained to Song Xiangsi, "You unfilial daughter, why didn't the heavens accept it? You killed your stepmother with your own hands, and now you're not even sparing her corpse! "

Old Lady Wang also quickly started to curse, grumbling under her breath. She used all sorts of vulgar words. It didn't sound like she was scolding her granddaughter at all, but rather an enemy.

In an instant, the court was in an uproar. It was filled with the cursing voices of two people.

The county magistrate rubbed his forehead as his mind was in a mess. At this time, the Grand Master's eyes rolled around as he walked forward and whispered into his ear. From time to time, he glanced down at Meng Lianxuan.

"This …" The county magistrate hesitated.

"Let's do it this way, old master. If you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended, then we won't be able to bear the consequences." The Grand Master asked anxiously.

Song Xiangsi frowned slightly as she watched the two of them mumbling to themselves.

In the end, the county magistrate nodded his head and slapped his palm on the wood, shouting angrily, "Silence!"

Song Dabao and old woman Wang were frightened and didn't dare to say anything else.

The county magistrate then looked at Song Xiangsi, "Since you say that you didn't lie, then I'll give you half a day. As long as you can find the evidence and find out who killed her, then you can prove your innocence."

Song Xiangsi raised her head in surprise and looked at the county magistrate. She pursed her lips and bowed respectfully, neither humble nor haughty. "My daughter thanks Great Master very much!"

Song Dabao immediately jumped up and angrily said, "Master Guan, how can we let her go? "She is the one who killed my wife. You should lock her up and sentence her to death!"

"Shut up!" The Grand Master who was standing to the side immediately frowned and roared. He looked at Song Dabao with a dark gaze, "Are you questioning the Great Master's decision?"

He also took a meaningful glance at the scene and saw that there was a line of constables standing next to him. All of them were holding long wooden sticks in their hands. Immediately, they lightly knocked them down and shouted, "Mighty!"

Song Dabao's face paled as he hurriedly said he did not dare to do so. He then glared fiercely at Song Xiangsi, gritting his teeth, "It's you who beat Yiyi to death, I will not let you off."

Song Xiangsi looked back coldly and suddenly smiled, "You will definitely die for your wrongdoings. Song Dabao, you better take care of yourself. If I find out that it was you who killed Bai Yiyi and framed me, then everything will be over for you!"

After saying that, she mysteriously smiled and slowly got up. She saluted the county magistrate, turned around, and left with Meng Huanxuan.

Song Dabao was so angry that his face turned red as he pointed at her back and cursed, "You little b * tch, you're just like your mother. If you have the ability, go find her. You killed Bai Yiyi, I'll see what you do then! "

Although he was cursing, he was actually a bit flustered inside because he knew better than anyone how Bai Yi had died.

Liu Qingping gave him a heavy look, then stood up and left.

Seeing that Master Lin had left, Song Dabao immediately became anxious. He wanted to chase after him as he shouted, "Master Lin, you have to avenge me! You can't leave, you have to capture that bitch Song Xiangsi! "

The Grand Master shouted angrily, "Shut up!" The Old Master has just said that he will be promoted to the throne half a day later. "

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the Sixth Elder who was waiting for him on the side. With a wink, he left with the county magistrate.

Song Dabao was anxious. He looked at the man covered in white cloth lying on the ground, and suddenly felt a sense of fear. He wanted to leave, but Lord Sixth stopped him.

"You can't leave until the case is solved."

Song Dabao glared at her. Although he was not happy, seeing how tall the Sixth Master was and how his tendons and flesh were, he dared not to say anything after opening his mouth. He could only swing his sleeves and turn back, sighing as he thought hatefully, It's best to let Song Xiangsi fall to her death on the way back!

Old Lady Wang sat to one side, her heart beating like a drum.

On the other side, Song Xiangsi and Meng Fangxuan left the yamen and discussed returning to the village.

If he wanted to know what happened in the Song Family that night after they left, he would have to ask the neighbors. It wouldn't be hard to find evidence if he wanted to know the entire process.

The two of them rented a carriage from the county and immediately rushed to the Song Family. Coincidentally, they ran into Chen Ergou's wife, Madame Li, returning from the fields. The two of them hurried over to ask.

Madame Li was an honest person. Previously, she had seen the three of them living a pitiful life and had often helped them. Ever since she died and moved out with her younger brother and sister, she had never seen Song Xiangsi again.

At this moment, seeing that she was waiting in front of his door, accompanied by a suave looking young master, he could not help but be startled. He quickly walked up and asked Song Xiangsi, "Little girl, what are you doing here? Come in quickly and sit for a while in this hot weather."

Song Xiangsi smiled slightly as he followed Madame Li into the room. He told her everything that had happened, and finally, she could not help but ask, "Aunt, did you know what happened in the yard next door that night?"

Madame Li frowned, sighing in her heart. She felt that Song Dabao was simply not a person, and actually dared to kidnap her own flesh and blood to sell.

However, when she heard Song Xiangsi's question, she pursed her lips, revealing a conflicted expression. She did not say anything.

There was indeed a commotion in the yard next door, but she didn't dare to say it.

She was an honest farmer's woman. She had always been obedient to the Song Family. She was scared and didn't want to get into any trouble with them.

If she were to say something today, the two of them would definitely not forgive her and come to her house to cause trouble. They would act like that kind of impudent people, but they would act like paste and not let go!

Madame Li pursed her lips and looked somewhat awkwardly at Song Xiangsi, her face revealing an apologetic expression, "Little girl …" I... I went to bed early that day and didn't hear anything. "

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head, feeling both guilty and helpless. Although she felt sympathy for Song Xiangsi and her three siblings, they weren't relatives, so she couldn't sacrifice the peace of her family to help them.

Song Xiangsi frowned slightly. Just from Mrs Li's reaction, she could tell that she was lying, and that she definitely knew something.

"Aunt, if you have any concerns, you can tell me. I'll think of a way to resolve them. You only need to tell me what happened that night."
