When he came out of Wangyue Tower, Shi Liang stepped forward as usual and asked Chu Ci if he needed help.

Chu Ci rejected Shi Liang and asked Shi Liang to rest today so that he could go home and take care of his sister.

Shi Liang's home is in Buyi Lane, Xicheng District.

A narrow alley is crowded with hundreds of people.

The people who live here are the people who live at the bottom of Xiancheng.

Watchmen, grooms, Ye Xianglang, thieves and gangsters, orphans and widows...

Brother and sister Shi Liang and Shi Yue lived together in this alley since they were young, and they struggled with food and clothing every day.

If Shi Liang hadn't come out to earn money early, the brother and sister would have to rely on the neighbor's charity to survive.

When Shi Liang returned to Buyi Lane, he was surprised to find that the noisy alley was strangely quiet.

Shi Liang's heart skipped a beat.

Is something wrong? !

With an anxious expression on his face, Shi Liang quickly rushed into the alley.

When he was about to reach the door of the house, Shi Liang suddenly stopped and his expression was in a daze.

Because it was right in front of Shi Liang's house, surrounded by neighbors on the left and right, all standing on tiptoe to look into the yard.

"younger sister!"

Shi Liang couldn't help exclaiming, pushing away the crowd and rushing into the yard.

"It's a small stone!"

"Little Stone is back!"

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

Seeing Shi Liang, the neighbors on the left and right turned sideways to give way to the gate.

Shi Liang didn't care about thanking him, and hurried into the house.

In the narrow and dilapidated courtyard, Shi Liang did not see his sister.

Looking up to the window, Shi Liang saw not only his sister but also an extra person in his room through the gap opened by the window!

"who is it?!"

squeak-

Shi Liang picked up a wooden stick against the door, pushed open the door and walked in.

Swish!

Shi Liang held the wooden stick tightly with both hands, and dodged to block Shi Yue.

"Who are you?!"

"What are you doing at my house?!"

Shi Liang fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man in front of him.

The man's brocade and silk robes are well-dressed, and he looks like a big shot at first glance.

He shouldn't have any interaction with the people who live in Commoner Lane, but now he appears in Shi Liang's home.

"You are Shi Liang, right?"

The man looked at Shi Liang with a gentle smile, "Relax, I'm not a bad person."

Shi Liang's hands holding the wooden stick became more and more forceful.

"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do at my house?"

The man saw that Shi Liang was wary of him, so he directly revealed his identity.

"I am Sun Er, the housekeeper of the Dutong Mansion. I came here specially to welcome you two brothers and sisters to the mansion by order of my wife."

Shi Liang was taken aback when he heard this.

Dutongfu?lady?

Shi Liang instantly remembered Mrs. Du Tong whom he met at the underground auction on Shizi Street.

She did invite herself and her younger sister to the mansion to play with Miss Du Tongfu.

It's just that Shi Liang thought Mrs. Dutong was just being polite, and didn't think that such a high-ranking big man would pay attention to a small character like himself.

But Shi Liang didn't expect to receive an invitation from Dutong Mansion today!

"Master Shi."

The butler, Sun Er, looked at Shi Liang and said with a gentle smile, "You brothers and sisters, come with me, the carriage is waiting outside."

Shi Liang hesitated.

People from two different worlds shouldn't have any intersection, but Shi Liang didn't dare to directly reject the kindness of Dutongfu.

"this···"

Shi Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to ask my sister."

The butler stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, signaling Shi Liang to ask.

Shi Liang put down the door stick in his hand, turned around and looked at his sister who was a little dazed and still not awake.

"Sister, do you want to go to the Dutong Mansion?"

After hearing Shi Liang's question, Shi Yue gradually regained consciousness.

When the housekeeper, Sun Er, arrived, he scared Shi Yue who hadn't seen much of the world enough.

Gudong!

Shi Yue swallowed, looked at Shi Liang and said cautiously, "Brother, I, I don't know either."

"I listen to my brother!"

Shi Yue held Shi Liang's clothes tightly with her small hands.

The corner of Sun Er's mouth slightly turned up when he heard the words, and he said aloud, "Master Shi, please leave with me?"

"Madam and Miss are still waiting for you at the mansion!"

Shi Yue lost her mind, making it impossible for Shi Liang to directly reject Sun Er.

"Okay, wait for us for a while, let's wash up and go!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for you two outside the door!"

Sun Er walked away from Shi's house.

After going out the door, Sun Er turned his eyes around the surrounding neighbors.

"The Dutong Mansion is doing business, it's all gone!"

With an order, the crowd of onlookers all ran away without a trace.

The commander of the city's garrison is the second only to King Xian!

Regardless of whether Sun Er's intentions for coming here are good or bad, the people living in Commoner Lane cannot afford to offend the Dutong Mansion.

In Shi's house, Shi Liang carefully told Shi Yue to pay attention.

We don't know the good or bad of this trip, so don't contradict Mrs. Dutong and Miss Dutongfu.

"Sister, do you remember?"

"Well, brother, I know."

Without making Sun Er wait any longer, Shi Liang took Shi Yue's hand and walked out of the room.

"Butler Sun, let's go!"

"Okay, both of you, please follow me!"

Sun Er took Shi Liang and Shi Yue, boarded the carriage and left Buyi Lane all the way.

After a few people left for a long time, the surrounding neighbors carefully poked their heads out to observe.

"The adults of the Dutong Mansion have left?"

"How could Xiaoshi get involved with the people in the capital?"

"Could it be that Little Stone provoked the Dutong Mansion?!"

"Then, aren't those little Shitou brothers and sisters more ominous and less fortunate!"

"Don't talk nonsense! I think it must be a good thing that the people in the Dutong Mansion took the little stones away in a carriage!"

"Hiss... Xiao Shitou has a relationship with the Dutong Mansion, so will we also benefit from it?"

"That's needless to say! How kind are you to Xiao Shitou? Xiao Shitou will definitely repay us!"

The neighbors around came out of their homes one after another, and got together to discuss eagerly.

Chapter 448

In Wangyue Tower, Shi Liang was telling Chu Ci what happened yesterday.

"My sister and I stayed in Prince Xian's Mansion until the afternoon, and we left from Prince Xian's Mansion when it was approaching Shen Shi."

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang, and asked aloud, "After leaving Prince Xian's Mansion, did you go home directly?

"En!" Shi Liang nodded, "We didn't stay outside."

"After returning home, it took me a long time to recover."

Chu Ci was silent for a moment, then asked, "When did the man in black who kidnapped your sister appear?"

Shi Liang frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It's probably around three o'clock in the unitary hour!"

"Two men in black rushed straight into the yard, and one of them knocked out my sister and carried her over the wall on her shoulders."

"Another person stood in front of me, stabbed me with a sword and then turned away."

"I just took a look at their backs and passed out. I just woke up this morning."

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly.

"Go, go to your house!"

"Okay, Master Chu, please follow me!"

Shi Liang's eyes lit up, he stepped in front of the crowd, and walked out of the Moon Tower first.

Chuci and the others followed closely behind, and led by Shi Liang to Buyi Lane.

"Little Stone is back."

"Little Stone, I heard that your brother and sister went to the Dutong Mansion yesterday?"

"Little Stone is really promising!"

"Little Shitou, don't forget us neighbors!"

···

In Commoner Alley, the neighbors on the left and right greeted Shi Liang.

"Uncles, I still have something to do, let's talk later!"

Shi Liang barely managed a few words, and brought Chu Ci and the others back home.

Di Gongming stood in the yard and looked around, then told Li Chongming who was at the side, "Chongming, check carefully for traces left by the man in black."

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Chongming took the order respectfully, and carefully surveyed the yard and the house.

Chu Ci walked around the yard and the house, only to find some scattered footprints and dark red blood splattered on the ground.

"grown ups!"

After checking the traces of Xiancheng, Li Chongming walked up to Di Gongming and reported aloud.

"The subordinates only found some footprints and bloodstains, and there are no other clues."
