One touch and one silence

Nanzhi originally felt a little pity for this woman, but when she saw those fragments in her mind, her pity suddenly disappeared.

She originally thought that the three people just pushed each other unintentionally, which led to Li Jiang's death, but now it seems that it is not just that.

The woman's scream made the young man angrily rush over and pull away Nanzhi's hand that was supporting the woman.

"What are you doing? Let go of my sister-in-law. If you have any problem, come to me!"

The boy's series of actions almost pulled Nanzhi to the ground.

"How dare you disrespect our Young Master Nan!" The bailiff said as he was about to come forward and arrest the young man who committed insubordination.

Nanzhi, who had just been supported by Liuyue and stabilized his body, waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"It's okay. He's just too worried. It's okay."

"However, we still need you two to come with us. Why are you two there? The footprints of the three of you are so close, why do you say you don't know each other? I'm afraid you two will have to go to the Dali Temple to explain clearly."

After Nanzhi finished speaking, he winked at the bailiff, then turned and left.

She was planning to go to Li's house next, and she saw something interesting.

She originally thought that the yamen runners behind her would take the two away, but after hearing no movement behind her for a long time, Nanzhi couldn't help but look back.

The bailiff was seen looking at Yuan Shaoqing, waiting for his decision.

Nanzhi's face was full of black lines. What a shame, no one took his words seriously.

"Mr. Yuan!" Nanzhi looked at Yuan Wuqing with a smile and cursed in his heart, "Boy, you'd better be sensible, otherwise, you'll have to wait for porridge for breakfast next time!"

Yuan Wuqing was very perceptive and understood the threat in Nanzhi's eyes.

"Why are you standing there for so long, you still don't listen to Nan Shaoqing's words?"

Yuan Wuqing had not originally planned to take the two of them away. Although the footprints were the same, it was not impossible that they accidentally stepped on the same place when they went to pay tribute to their deceased husband.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean there is no suspicion. Facts require evidence, and shoe prints cannot be considered hard evidence at this time.

But now that the Seventh Prince has spoken, he also wants to see what the Seventh Prince will do next.

"Mr. Yuan, why don't you come with me to the Li family?" Nanzhi asked, but his eyes left no room for doubt.

"That's fine. I also happen to have something I want to know."

"Let's do it together!" Yuan Wuqing stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Let Yuan Shaoqing lead the way. I'm not familiar with this place!"

As soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, a yamen runner was very tactful. He trotted up to them and said with a smile.

"I understand. I will lead the way for the two young officials."

"In that case, thank you for your trouble!"

Nanzhi thanked him.

"That's not right, Shaoqing. This is my duty." He said and pointed the way.

Nanzhi and Yuan Wuqing followed the direction pointed by the yamen runner and arrived in about half an hour.

At this time, the Li Mansion had already hung up a white banner.

Nanzhi still followed behind Yuan Wuqing. Everyone here must know Yuan Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, but they definitely don’t know her.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she should stay behind others.

"I am the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, and I have come to the Li Residence to ask a few questions."

When the servant at the door heard that it was a government official, he said "wait a moment" and ran away faster than a rabbit.

After a while, a group of people came out from inside.

The leader should be Li Jiang's parents. As for the other young man, he is probably Li Jiang's younger brother.

"I wonder if Lord Yuan Shaoqing has come to welcome us, but have you found the murderer of our child?" As soon as Father Li finished speaking, the couple's faces were filled with anticipation.

"Not yet. I came here to learn a little about your son's affairs. I hope I'll forgive you for disturbing me."

As soon as Yuan Wuqing finished speaking, the couple's faces were filled with disappointment.

"I am Li Yue, Li Jiang's younger brother. I am honored to meet you two adults. If you need any help, we at the Li Mansion will fully cooperate."

"Yes, yes, my son is right! What does Yuan Shaoqing want to know?"

"In that case, thank you very much! By the way, this is the new Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, Shaoqing Nan!"

Yuan Wuqing introduced Nanzhi to the Li family.

They were stunned. How come there was another child?

Then he quickly came to his senses and bowed respectfully.

"Meet Nan Shaoqing!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Li, please accept my condolences!" Nanzhi said soothingly.

"Young Master Nan is so thoughtful!" Before he finished speaking, a look of sadness appeared on the faces of several people.

"My parents are old, so why not let me entertain the two young officials?"

After saying this, he bowed to Nanzhi and Yuan Shaoqing, acting like a good son who was well-mannered and filial to his parents.

Yuan Wuqing nodded.

"Entertain the two young ministers well and don't be negligent!" The old man instructed his youngest son before leaving.

The younger son looked obedient and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, father and mother, your son knows."

Nanzhi watched with great interest, looking very filial.

If she didn't have this method, she would probably have to praise him at this time.

After the old couple and their maids and servants left.

"What do you two adults want to know?"

"Take us to the yard in front of Li Jiang!" Yuan Wuqing's businesslike manner made Li Yue on the side feel a lot more at ease.

"In that case, this way please!"

Soon Nanzhi and others arrived at a yard. Li Yue said respectfully, "Wait a moment!" and turned around and went in first.

After a while, a haggard young woman and two children came out.

"I, the young lady Li, pay my respects to the two young officials!"

"Greetings to both adults!" The two children bowed and saluted to Yuan Wuqing and others in a very formal manner.

Nanzhi stood behind Yuan Wuqing, looking at the woman in front of her and her two children. She had to say that the two children were very well-mannered.

"Get up!" Yuan Wuqing reached out and helped the two children up.

Nanzhi watched from the side without saying anything. In her opinion, the lady looked very gentle, and she seemed like a kind, gentle and virtuous woman.

The girl was a pretty girl from a small family. Now, apart from looking pale and haggard, she still looked pretty good.

The two children look quite similar.

Looking at the woman, Nanzhi felt that an old saying was true.

If you want to be pretty, you have to be filial! This is true.

The aesthetic sense of the ancients was quite correct. Li Jiang is so blind. His wife is so pretty, but he still flirts with other women outside.

"Madam, don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually."

Yuan Shaoqing's words could be considered gentle, and they made Madam's stiff body relax a lot.

"When did Li Jiang leave the house the day before yesterday? Did he tell you where he was going?" Yuan Wuqing asked.

The young lady shook her head. "The day my husband left, he was not in my room, but in Aunt Zhao's room. As for whether my husband told her, I don't know."
