One touch and one silence

When I came here a few days ago, the Li Mansion was still extremely luxurious and extravagant everywhere.

Looking at it today, it is so dilapidated.

It's like being robbed.

The doors and windows of the house have long been in tatters, with traces of smashing and vandalism. It is obvious that they were man-made destructions, and it is almost unrecognizable from its original appearance.

The porcelain pieces on the ground were shattered into pieces, and the tables and chairs were in a mess, some broken and some incomplete.

Liu Yue walked through the Li Mansion carefully, but still could not find the so-called servants and children.

How strange!

Aren’t there servants?

Was it a servant who took the man away?

Who is that servant?

Didn’t they say that all the family members would be wiped out?

If the whole family was really exterminated, why was this servant still alive? Why were there only two children left? Was it intentional?

not good!

The master is right!

Liu Yue quickly flew out of Li's house and ran towards the Dali Temple.

When she arrived at the Dali Temple, she happened to meet a familiar person.

"Um...you, come here!"

"I am Chen San, your Excellency. I am honored to meet you. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen San knew that this man was the guard of the Seventh Prince, so he was naturally very respectful.

"What exactly happened to the Li family's massacre? Didn't they say that all the members of the family were killed? How come a so-called servant suddenly appeared and took the two children away?"

After listening to what the adult said, Chen San finally understood what was going on.

"To answer your question, I was also confused at the time, so I interrogated him and found out that he was the servant of the eldest son who asked for leave to go home. The two children also confirmed this person, so I let him go."

Liu Yue couldn't help but frown as she listened to Chen San's words.

"Where is your Lord Yuan? Does he not care about this matter?"

"Your Excellency, Master Yuan has been busy with other things recently and has hardly been seen. So after asking the Dali Temple for permission, we had no choice but to release him."

Chen San looked at the guard with trepidation.

"Do you know that the child and the people are missing? The Li Mansion has been smashed into pieces now."

Chen San couldn't believe it.

"No way! I went to check yesterday morning and they were still there!"

"It's just that I was too busy today, so I didn't go over to take a look. I wanted to wait until I got off the government office before going to take a look."

At this moment he was also a little scared. If what this adult said was true, the two children would probably be in great danger.

"What was it like inside when you went there yesterday?"

Liu Yue asked seriously.

"It was exactly like when we went to see it together before!"

Liu Yue understood at this time.

"Take someone to take another look and you'll know."

"No, take someone to check. Where did the two children and the servant go?"

"It's impossible for a normal person to leave without collecting the body for his family."

Seeing the mess in the house, she was afraid that he would not come back.

This matter was uncovered by the Seventh Prince. Now this situation has occurred again and the master's health is not good. I am afraid that there will be some gossip that will slander His Highness.

"Is the second son of the Li family okay?"

"Don't worry, sir. He's awake and fine. We recently moved him to another place. Even the meals were delivered by the brothers."

It seems that it is not completely useless.

"Well! Keep a close eye on him and don't let anything happen to him again." Liu Yue said and left.

"I know!" Chen San bowed respectfully towards Liu Yue's back.

This adult had such a strong aura that his calves were shaking with fear.

After watching the person leave, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Thinking of what the adult mentioned, he hurried back to the Dali Temple, called some people, and went to Li's Mansion.

After Liu Yue left, he did not go back directly. He planned to check at the city gate.

Liu Yue arrived at the city gate and showed them the sign in his hand.

"Meet the adults!"

"Since yesterday morning, have you seen anyone carrying two children, a boy and a girl, out of the city gate?"

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know what kind of people you are talking about. There are many people like this who go in and out of the city with two children every day."

The soldiers at the city gate didn't understand who Liu Yue was talking about. They saw such general words too many times every day.

"Do you know about Li's Cloth Shop? It's the one that was suddenly wiped out these past two days?"

"Oh! That family you are talking about? I know. I left there last night."

"I was still curious at the time. It was almost nightfall, so what was that man doing with his master out of the city?

"He told me at the beginning that he wanted to go out of the city to find a place to bury the coffins of the masters of the Li family, saying that people who died suddenly could not be buried in the ancestral tomb. I didn't take it seriously and didn't think much about it at the time, so I didn't stop him."

When Liu Yue heard what the city defenders said, he knew that the so-called servant had taken his two masters out of the city.

As for where he went, no one knows.

"When was the city gate opened?" Liu Yue knew that His Majesty had ordered the city gate to be closed for three days, but it was opened before the time was up. She was afraid that it was opened again later for some reason.

"Your Excellency, it was that afternoon!" the defenders replied respectfully.

"Okay, thank you very much! I know about this matter. If you see this person again, please keep an eye out for him and go to the Dali Temple to find the Seventh Prince."

After Liu Yue finished speaking, she rushed back to the palace without stopping. She had been out for long enough and she was worried about His Highness.

"I understand! Don't worry, sir."

The defenders responded respectfully.

Liu Yue used his internal energy at the fastest speed and returned to the palace in less than an hour.

When she arrived, she saw her master looking at the notebook that Shu Yue had just brought to her with boredom.

When they saw Liu Yue coming back, they were happier than each other.

Shuyue: My lord, if you don’t come back, I don’t know what to say.

Nanzhi: She’s almost bored to death!

"How about taking the child to the Dali Temple for protection?"

Nanzhi was a little nervous and wanted to lift the quilt covering herself.

Liu Yue held him down with his hand.

"Your Highness, don't move."

"They have already left the city. Liu Yue has arranged people to look for them. Your Highness, don't worry." She tucked the quilt in for Nanzhi.

"Leave the city? Why are they leaving the city? Aren't they going to collect the bodies of the Li family?"

"This case should not have been solved yet, right? We definitely can't take the body back!" Nanzhi wondered.

"That's what His Highness said."

"Do you know where that person went with the two children?" Nanzhi thought for a moment and asked with a frown.

She always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

There has been a lot of commotion in the imperial city these past two days, and some people actually dared to take advantage of the situation.

Why did the other party leave two children behind?

How come it was such a coincidence that the servant came out just as his family was being massacred and just happened to escape the tragedy?

What is the relationship between them?

Did the servant kill them all?

"Liu Yue, ask the people from the Dali Temple to go to the servant's hometown and check whether he was there during that time."

"Your Highness, let Shuyue go and inform Erwu and the others." Liuyue replied directly without even raising her head.

"It's almost night, and the palace is not very safe these days."
