The third prince fell onto the carriage board, then got up again and grabbed Imperial Doctor Zheng, “Impossible, absolutely impossible, you must have misdiagnosed, how could Grandfather die?
The imperial physician Zheng’s body was also uncontrollably weak, “Third prince, third prince, save your grief!”
The third prince pushed him away and shouted towards the magistrates outside, “Quickly, go and get Doctor Yao ……”
The words did not finish, thinking of the Gu family’s fire, his face pale as he fell back to sit, “It’s over, it’s all over now!”
The people have already gathered around, pointing at the carriage.
The magistrate who was escorting them saw this and turned around and flew to report it. When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes went black and he almost fainted, he had the master stumble over with his support.
“The County Magistrate, it’s the County Magistrate!”
The people saw him and exclaimed.
The County Magistrate could no longer care about this, he ran to the carriage and saw the Duke of Qi lying in the carriage with a trace of blood still in the corner of his mouth.
The County Magistrate’s body went limp and he fell to his knees.
Some of the people went to tell Song Wan Yue.
Song Wangyue came over carrying Gu Yi’s corpse, with the Song family following her.
Ignoring the Duke of Qi on the carriage, Song Wan Yue walked straight up to the county magistrate, “My lord, I want to sue the Third Prince and the Duke of Qi, they sent people to burn down the Gu family for their money. ”
As her words fell, the people’s onlookers’ instantly exploded into a frenzy.
The fire last night was seen by everyone within a few dozen miles, the sky was so large that even stones would have been scorched, not to mention people.
The county magistrate shook his lips to say something-
But Song Wangyue directly blocked his words, “We banged the injustice drum for half a day and never saw the magistrates open the door, we thought that your Excellency was too sick to get out of bed, but we didn’t expect that it was your Excellency who deliberately avoided it, it’s hard to believe that your Excellency was also a participant in last night’s fire!”
The fire last night was also a fire.
The county magistrate’s entire body was shaking and cold sweat was breaking out, “Song, Miss Song ……”
Song Wan Yue didn’t give him a chance, “You are really in cahoots, it seems that I have to go to the capital to sue the imperial court in order to get justice for everyone in the Gu family.”
After saying that, she turned around.
“Stop her for me!”
The third prince yelled.
The magistrates who were following the carriage gathered around.
Song Wan Yue looked at them coldly, a suppressed chill spreading in her deep eyes, “Everyone, you should have seen the fire last night, not an inch of grass left in the huge Gu family, if you have any conscience left, then move aside! ”
A few officers looked at me, I looked at you-
“Song Wangyue!”
The Third Prince’s face was fierce as he jumped down from the carriage and reached out to try to choke Song Wangyue, “You seek death!”
The third prince missed the choke and gave her a slap with his backhand.
Slap!
The crisp sound stimulated Song Wan Yue’s nerves, and she didn’t even think about smashing the skeleton wrapped in her arms against the Third Prince.
The skeleton scattered out and landed at the Third Prince’s feet.
The Third Prince took several steps backwards in shock.
“What, are you afraid?”
Song Wangyue stepped closer, a monstrous hatred in her eyes, “The Gu family, a total of one hundred and thirteen mouths, are already dead souls, and they will turn into stern ghosts that will come for your life day after day, leaving you with no peace for the rest of your life.”
“You shut up! Shut up!”
The Third Prince rushed towards her like a madman, but stepped on a piece of skeleton, and his foot slipped, and he fell backwards.
With a thud, the back of his head hit the ground hard and he passed out.
Seeing this, the Prefect could not bear it any longer, his eyes went black and he too fainted.
The back door of the magistrate’s office was instantly silent.
Song Wangyue bent down to pick up the skeleton.
Only then did Imperial Doctor Zheng and Imperial Doctor Liu react, stumbling on their feet and running to the Third Prince’s side, one taking his pulse and the other rolling his eyes, noticing that he had only fainted, the two breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Song Shen picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground, shook them clean and unfolded his hands to hold them up. Song Wan Yue put the skeleton in, piece by piece, wrapped it up afterwards and held it in her arms again, walking over to Grandma Song, looking at her red and swollen cheeks, her eyes red.
“Grandma is fine ……”, Grandma Song stroked her head, “Let’s go, let’s go to the capital to sue the emperor.”
……
A magistrate darted to the entrance of the Song family not far away and whispered a few words in Sheriff Zhang’s ear.
Sheriff Zhang’s face was shocked, “Really?”
The magistrate nodded his head repeatedly.
Sheriff Zhang couldn’t care less about getting the old man into trouble and greeted the other two magistrates, “Go, go back to the magistrate’s office.”
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the gate of the Song family’s residence, and gritted his teeth, “You guys wait here for a while, I’ll go and tell the Song family.”
“Head?”
The magistrate who reported the news was puzzled.
“You have forgotten that not only do two great scholars of world renown live here, the Song family also has a Hanlin Song Si.”
Several people woke up and hurriedly urged him to go quickly.
Sheriff Zhang walked to the entrance of the Song family and politely gave the gatekeeper that he was looking for the old gentleman.
Seeing him in his sheriff’s uniform, the watchman ushered him in.
The old gentleman was talking with the second gentleman and Xu Yan inside the house, and when he heard the report, he let Constable Zhang in.
“Old Sir, Second Sir, Mr Xu ……”
Sheriff Zhang bowed towards the three one by one, “The Gu family was burned to ashes last night, and Miss Song went to the government office with the charred corpse.”
“What did you say?”
The old man didn’t dare to believe.
“It’s true, Miss Song is now at the government office.”
“Xu Liang! Prepare the carriage!”
The old gentleman got up and walked quickly outside, with Mr Xu Er and Xu Yan following behind him. The three of them had just left the gate when they saw three or two ox carts coming this way in the distance.
The three of them waited in place and walked closer to the ox carts before they saw that the two ox carts in front of them were full of burnt skeletons.
“What’s happened?”
Without waiting for the bullock carts to hear, the three men eagerly stepped forward to ask.
“It was the Third Prince and the Duke of Qi ……,” Song Wan Yue choked out, “They sent people to kill the entire Gu family last night, and fearing that things would be revealed, they burned the Gu family to ashes with a fire.”
“It’s simply heartless!” The old man was enraged and lifted his feet to head for the magistrate’s office, “I’d like to go and ask if they still have any humanity.”
“Grand great grandfather better not go ……”, Song Wan Yue got down from the carriage, clutching the skeleton in her arms, “If they had any semblance of humanity, they wouldn’t have set fire to the Gu family last night, I want to go to the capital to sue the imperial court for the Gu family’s I want to go to the capital to sue the imperial court and seek justice for the Gu family’s one hundred and thirteen members.”
“Good, maternal great-grandfather will accompany you!”
Song Wangyue choked back a sob and nodded her head.
“We’ll go too.”
Elder Song said.
“You guys still need to handle the family’s affairs, leave the matter of suing to me, don’t worry, I will definitely get justice for all the Gu family.”
Elder Song was about to say something else when Grandma Song stopped him.
“Then I’m counting on you, you and Yue’er go ahead and sue, even if you have to lose your family’s fortune and Si’er’s career, we will definitely get this justice.”
