Chapter 7 Suspicion
Crack——
The soft cracking sound echoed in the main hall, and the tea cup was broken into pieces.
Song Tonghai's eyes were reddish and bloodshot. He looked through the wide open hall door at the pile of gift boxes outside the courtyard, and his anger became increasingly difficult to contain.
The internal force visible to the naked eye condensed into smoke, rising from the top of his head, and invisible strong winds blew around him, like a knife cutting the face, extremely sharp.
Gathering Qi to become a front is a vision of entering the realm of a martial arts master.
Song Lingxue stood not far away, her eyebrows also furrowed.
With the news spreading so quickly, there must be an insider in the Song Mansion, or even more than one person.
Looking at the angry look on Song Tonghai's face, Song Lingxue picked up the tea cup on the side and walked forward slowly:
"Dad, calm down."
Song Tonghai took the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, calmed down the turbulent breath in his chest, and shouted:
"Song Yun!"
Song Yun quickly stepped into the hall and knelt down. Salute: "Yes."
"Thorough investigation!"
Song Tonghai took a deep breath, with terrifying murderous intent in his eyes: "I grant you the right to make an emergency decision. If the evidence is conclusive, no need to Report it to me, just kill it and feed it to the dog.”
He thought he treated the people in his house well, but he never thought that he would raise such a rebellious person, and now he is really angry.
“No.”
Song Yun respectfully agreed, stood up and left.

Chu Zheng didn't care about these disturbances in the outside world. Most of his attention was on studying the classics and repairing the jade lamp.
In the past few days, he had very little sleep time, but his spirit was not affected much.
The effect of the repaired Jingyuan Pill was so obvious that even though Chu Zheng stayed up late every day to study the classics, he was still energetic the next day.
After lunch, under the warm winter sun, Chu Zheng began to repair the tea tray that he had taken out from the dirty room.
This tea tray is also an old item. It has been lacking moisture for a long time and inevitably has some cracks.
Yesterday, Chu Zheng threw it into a water tank and soaked it overnight. Some cracks were almost healed.
Slowly wiping off the water stains on the tea tray, Chu Zheng took out the specially prepared new paint and painted the tea tray again.
Under the sun, the new paint solidified quickly, and the entire tea tray also looked brand new.
【You spent some effort to repair a long-lasting tea tray, and your skills have improved a bit. 】
A prompt came from Chu Zheng's mind, his eyes moved slightly, and he immediately pulled out the panel.
[Name: Chu Zheng]
[Cultivation: Level 0]
[Skills: Fitting Fist (Level 0), Wind-Chasing Sword Technique (Level 0), Great Zhou Tian Qi General Principle ( Level 6/incomplete)]
[Restorer: Level 0 (32/1000)]
[Number of repairs remaining on the day: 0]
[Currently repairable: An introduction to the general outline of the Great Zhou Tianqi Movement (18/100)]
Looking at the experience in the column of repairers, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Chu Zheng's eyes.
Repairing the tea tray was Chu Zheng’s test of the panel.
There are only five repair opportunities per day, which is too few for him. It will take almost half a year to upgrade the level of repairer.
So, he wanted to try to rely on himself to increase his experience as a restorer.
The result was gratifying. Repairing the tea tray really gained him 2 points of experience.
Currently, the number of repairs that are refreshed every day has been used by Chu Zheng on the introductory chapter of the Great Zhou Tianqi General Outline. In more than ten days, he will be able to start trying to practice.
Shortly after noon, the filthy house, which was usually deserted, welcomed a visitor. Song Yun came alone and took some time out of his busy schedule to check out what he had arranged for Chu Zheng to do.
The filthy room has been tidied up, and the floor is spotless. It is commendable to take care of it to this level.
Even if Song Yun came here with the intention of finding trouble, he couldn't find any fault for a while.
For what he said, Chu Zheng didn't take it too seriously in the past, but this time he was so attentive, which made people a little uncomfortable.
"Well done."
After walking around twice, Song Yun walked out of the filthy room, praised him, and then said: "Is there any shortage of food? If..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Zheng smiled and said unceremoniously: "My appetite has become a bit big recently. Can I give you more meat for lunch?"
Song Yun was speechless for a moment, he just subconsciously said a polite word.
Due to Song Lingxue's care, Chu Zheng's food was already top-notch among the servants, but he didn't expect that he would want to add more.
“Got it.”
Song Yun did not refuse after all. He agreed and turned around to leave. Song Lingqing returned home the day before yesterday. Chu Zheng behaved very well, which at least made him happy. Quite a few.
The eldest lady may also change her mind about him...
As soon as he walked out of the side courtyard, Song Yun was slightly startled, turned around suddenly, looked at Chu Zheng basking in the sun in the distance, and inevitably had some thoughts in his mind.
Now in the palace, he has the power to make decisions on the spur of the moment. Even if he directly kills Chu Zheng on the grounds of communication with outsiders, the eldest lady will only scold him a few words afterwards.
Maybe this is a God-given opportunity, he can use this opportunity to make Chu Zheng disappear completely...
Thinking deeply, Song Yun suddenly raised his hand.
Pa——
A crisp slap sounded, Song Yun's cheeks instantly swelled, and bloodshot eyes overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Looking at the slightly red palms, Song Yun was silent for a long time, glanced at a pair of tiger-head shoes in the corner, and smiled softly:
"Beast, this is how your parents teach you to be a human being. ”
…………
…………
With Song Tonghai's permission, Song Yun acted with almost no scruples, turning the Song mansion upside down and arresting six people in just a few days.
For a time, the Song Mansion was in a state of panic and everyone was in danger.
All the servants' rooms were searched. It can be said that they dug deep and dug out many secrets.
Soon, the dirty room where Chu Zheng was located was found again.
Song Yun was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.
The filthy room was only that big, so Chu Zheng couldn't hide those few classics, so naturally they were quickly searched out.
Song Lingqing came alone that day and left in a hurry. She didn't take such a trivial matter to heart at all, so she naturally didn't tell her family specifically.
As Chu Zheng, it is impossible to have access to this kind of classics, so he is naturally suspected.
…………
…………
Not long after, Chu Zheng was imprisoned in the woodshed again.
Compared with last time, there are many more torture instruments here. There are dark brown blood scabs on the torture instruments, which have been used by people before.
Most of the torture instruments are very new and have just been made.
Although the Song family rules are strict, they do not abuse lynchings. These are obviously temporary preparations.
Song Yun did not interrogate Chu Zheng himself, but reported the matter to Song Lingxue, and at the same time submitted all Chu Zheng's recent actions to the case.
After seeing Chu Zheng's actions in recent days, Song Lingxue frowned slightly, thinking of the day when Song Lingqing returned home and Chu Zheng stood alone outside the hall, her eyes couldn't help but darken a little:
"Those days have passed. Why do you always run away? Do you have any acquaintances outside the house?”
