So It's My Own Family Who Is the Villain

Song Shi asked a constable to bring him to the government office, but he could not stop thinking about this Gu.

"It's too disgusting to be killed by this Black Blood Venomous Gu Insect. After thinking about these things growing in my flesh and blood, I don't want to farm death anymore."

In the midst of his disgust, Song Shi rejected the idea of eating a Gu worm to court death. Then he thought of how his surviving family members had probably also been poisoned and wondered how he should resolve this issue.

As soon as he reached the government office, he heard a scream.

BANG!

The government office was slammed open from the inside. Song Jiang's guard, Tu Fan, rushed out with disheveled hair and red eyes, "I won't die, I won't!"

His muscles squirmed crazily and he looked bigger. Blood was flowing from his seven orifices and something was drilling crazily in his body.

"It's over. Guard Tu has also been poisoned!"

Perhaps it was because Tu Fan often went out with Song Jiang to do things, but the constable beside Song Shi recognized him. His face was pale as he watched Tu Fan rush away like a madman.

Puff!

A sharp arrow shot over and pierced through Tu Fan's forehead, nailing him to the door of the government office.

A man in black appeared with a longbow in his hand. He said coldly, "The Black Iron Guards of the Demon Slayers Department will take over this place. Anyone who is poisoned is not allowed to step out of the government office. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Another three people appeared. They flew over roofs and walls, turned into shadows and separated, blocking the other exits of the government office.

Song Shi saw that the Black Iron Guards did not do anything after sealing the exit. He did not ask further and continued to walk towards the door.

Through the door, he could see a few corpses lying on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices. They must be the people who had been killed by the Black Blood Venomous Gu Insect recently.

In the inner hall less than ten feet away from the corpse, dozens of disheveled figures were gathered together. They looked terrified and uneasy, and their eyes were filled with fatigue and fear.

Even the new heroine Song Jia, who was in high spirits, was frozen like a frosted eggplant, her soul wary.

Her beautiful dream of roaming the martial world was shattered after a trip back home.

"Even Bodyguard Tu was poisoned,"

"No, I don't want to bleed to death!"

"Somebody help us!"

The women were crying and the men were also uneasy. Who would have thought that these usually glamorous and rich people would end up like this?

Only a small number of guards and higher-ups of the Song family remained calm but their expressions were not good.

"Elder Qin… are we all poisoned?"

A plump old man in his sixties asked the old man with white hair and beard uneasily.

The former was the head of the Song family, Song Wan and the latter was the Connate expert, Qin Zhonglin.

Qin Zhonglin's face was full of wrinkles and his aura was a little unstable. There was a pool of blood on his chest, and it was unknown if it was his or someone else's.

He sighed. "I definitely didn't get poisoned. As for you guys, if you drank raw water recently, you should have been poisoned!"

The others' hearts sank again. Their fragile hearts collapsed on the spot.

"I don't want to die from these bugs!"

"I'd rather kill myself than become a monster covered in insects."

"Someone give me a quick death!"

Those who had drunk raw water despaired on the spot.

"I've never drunk it!"

Song Jia was pleasantly surprised. She had just returned yesterday, so she had no chance to drink raw water.

"Neither do I!"

"Fortunately, it's cold. I didn't drink cold water."

These few family members of the Song family were overjoyed, in stark contrast to the other desperate ones.

At this moment, it could be seen that most of the people drinking the raw water were maidservants, servants, and guards. However, there were also a few concubines and some young masters.

Because in this backward era, not many people would think of boiling water before drinking it.

"Fortunately, I have always been with the Seventh Young Master. Unless it's summer, I've long developed the habit of drinking boiled water!"

Big Smart thought happily.

The other guards stood at the side with ugly expressions. It was obvious that they had drunk it.

Song Wan was old and had not drunk raw water recently. When he saw that most of his surviving sons and daughters had suffered, his expression was desolate as he said sadly, "More than half of them were poisoned. What sins did my family commit to face such a tragic calamity that is about to exterminate our family?"

"Last night, that demon said that your Song family had once caused his family to be ruined. How could you not have committed any sins?"

Qin Zhonglin scoffed, "I can only say that you're unlucky to have offended such a demon. If I hadn't run away quickly, I would have died last night!"

Some of the guards looked at each other and took a step forward.

"Master Song, if I don't die this time, I'll leave the Song family!"

"Me too!"

"Me as well."

Other than the guards trained by the Song family or those who were loyal to the Song family, the rest of the guards expressed that they would leave the Song family.

In the end, many left with no hesitation. Seeing that the last of the people had dispersed, the Song family's mood became even gloomier.

Big Smart, who was holding a long saber in the corner, hesitated. Suddenly, he saw a person walking over from outside the door and hurriedly stood up. "Seventh Young Master!"

"Yeah!"

Song Shi nodded slightly.

"Seventh Brother!"

A girl with a childish voice called out. She was the only one who took the initiative to call out to Song Shi. The others were in no mood to pay attention to her.

Song Shi looked over. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl was crying pitifully.

This was the daughter of the eighth concubine, Song Xiaobei. She was 15th in the family.

Perhaps because she did not have a son, her status was very low. As she was similar to Song Shi, the two of them lived close. The eighth branch had a good relationship with him, the so-called seventh branch.

Occasionally, he would bring some food and toys for this girl, so she was a little overly attached to him.

However, he was a man and was not interested in playing with a little girl, so he did not pay much attention to this dependence.

"Beibei, it's okay. Don't cry."

Song Shi patted Song Bei's head and looked around, but he did not see his eighth aunt.

She had probably died!

"Hmph, like it's really fine. You make it sound so easy!"

An old woman who also had tears on her face sneered, "Your eldest brother, second brother, fourth sister, and sixth brother are all dead, yet you still say that you're fine!"

Hearing these harsh words, Song Shi walked over and slapped her.

PIAK

With a crisp sound, the old woman was slapped to the ground.

"Old witch, I'm comforting a little girl. Why are you purposely attacking me?"

Song Shi had long been unhappy with the main branch. Usually they would always pick on him relentlessly. Even now, they still did not stop. Did they really think that he had no way to stand up to them?

"You… How dare you hit me?"

The First Madam stared at Song Shi in disbelief and immediately tried to scratch him.

PIAK

Another slap. The latter covered her face and finally quietened down.

"How dare you!"

Song Wan stood up and was furious, "Unfilial son, it's fine if you visit brothels every day, but now you have started to disrespect your elders?"

"Isn't it better to visit a brothel than to attract demons?"

Song Shi sneered, "A family of more than three hundred people has all become corpses. Old man, shouldn't you tell me what happened?"

Song Wan's face twitched and the look in his eyes changed. He obviously knew what was going on.

"I'd like to hear what's going on."

Sikong Ya appeared at the door, "Minister Song, if you don't tell me now, your entire family might be exterminated!"

"Commander Red Silver of the Demon Slayers!"

When Qin Zhonglin saw the token on Sikong Ya's waist, he hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Commander."

"Brother Qin, you're too polite. I'm Sikong Ya, the person in charge of the branch of the Demon Slayers Division in the Bo Prefecture of Jiangnan. I've been ordered to capture the demon, Hei Duzi, and bring him to justice!"

Sikong Ya cupped his fists and looked coldly at Song Wan, "Speak!"

Song Wan's eyelids twitched, and he could only helplessly say, "This matter has something to do with my third son, Song Hu, who took the imperial examination. No one had expected that person to learn a demonic technique to take revenge on my Song family."

Hearing this, Song Shi cursed silently.

It turned out that his family was the villain!

The other party was just here for revenge.
