"Punishment?" Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Punishment is not something you and I can decide, but rather it is for the law to determine. The law hasn't found me guilty, so what right do you have to say that I am?"
Lin Chuan's words immediately dumbfounded Song Wen.
"Lin Chuan, don't think that your connections will let you escape legal punishment." Song Wu finally spoke up.
"Connections?" Lin Chuan laughed and said, "If I had no connections, I'm afraid the one who would have been dead is me. Song Hao has connections; he's a second-generation official with a father who thinks he can cover the sky with one hand. How many evil deeds has he done, how much wrong has he committed? You think I don't know?"
"You... stop slandering!" Song Wu angrily rebuked, "You won't even let a dead man rest in peace, Lin Chuan, how can you be so vicious?"
"Am I vicious?" Lin Chuan sneered, then said, "When even defenseless women and children are to be killed, what is Song Hao but trash?"
