After the people in black were cleaned up by Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan's hidden guards, the jailers who ran away saw that there was not much movement on this side, and ran back one after another.

It was inevitable that Pei Yanfeng would be stunned, and when he found out that they had a clue, after Lian Yi reported himself as his family, he suggested to the jailers to pretend nothing happened and take the rest of the felony prisoners to the borderlands.

The jailers naturally did not dare to speak up.

If they report this matter to the imperial city and the people above come down to investigate, they will inevitably be punished for failing to protect the felons.

It's better to still take the rest of the people to the place of punishment. If someone asks about the missing serious criminals in the future, it is somewhat reasonable to say that they died of a serious disease halfway.

After all, the long road is long, and it is normal for the body to suffer from illness and die.

The jailers accepted Lian Yi's kindness, and after cleaning up the scene with the guards, they took the remaining felons and left with gratitude.

When Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan rushed to the Li Family Garden in Meishan with their guards, they didn't expect that it would be a mess.

As soon as they found the gate of Li's Bieyuan, there were already two servant-like corpses lying at the gate. Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan looked at each other, then hurriedly climbed up the steps and rushed to the unlocked gate.

What came into view was a corpse.

As they expected, they came too late, all the servants and servants in the other garden were dead, and the corpses at the sight were all scattered, all of them were killed by swords.

Shucheng heard the footsteps of Lian Yi and others, and hurried over: "My lord."

"What's going on here? Why are so many people dead?" Lian Yi looked around, startled, "Where's Aunt Chun? Did you find it?"

Shucheng truthfully reported: "Aunt Chun has been found, but she has already been killed."

"When we came, we saw a group of men in black chasing and killing people in the other garden. We rushed to help. Aunt Chun had been forced to the backyard and had been stabbed twice. We wanted to ask her where her things were, but it was too late. .”

It seems that Li Shaoheng's handle is very lethal, forcing Pei Yanfeng to commit such a crime, not only to kill Li Shaoheng, but also to kill a dozen people in Li's Bieyuan overnight.

Lian Yi sighed deeply, and continued to ask: "Then have you searched and found it?"

Shucheng shook his head: "I've searched everything, nothing."

Lian Yi looked at Shu Qingwan with some puzzlement: "No? Could it be that Li Shaoheng lied to us? No way, he is about to die, what's the benefit of lying to us?"

"Or is it? Has it been searched by Pei Yanfeng's people?"

Shu Qingwan pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Li Shaoheng should not have lied, Shucheng, take us to search again."

Shucheng took orders, and took Shu Qingwan and Lianyi to the wing room where things could be hidden. They searched one by one and searched back and forth twice, and even found out the letters written by Shu Qingyan to Li Shaoheng After a while, I just couldn't find anything similar to the handle.

Finding nothing, Lianyi looked at the corpses all over the yard, feeling bad.

She ordered the guards to move all the dozen or so people who died in Li's residence to the main hall, so as not to be exposed to wind and rain. After she went back, she would notify the people of Li's residence to collect the corpses, and she found a stone bench to sit down. I want to calm down first.

Seeing Lian Yi frowned, Shu Qingwan organized some words to comfort him: "Lian'er, don't worry, since Li Shaoheng has a handle, it means that Pei Yanfeng has indeed done something wrong with his virtue. As long as we continue to investigate, we will definitely You can catch him."

Lian Yi originally wanted to say something comforting, telling Shu Qingwan not to worry about her, but before she opened her mouth, she seemed to hear something.

Seeing Lian Yi's weird expression, Shu Qingwan thought that Lian Yi was still hurting, so he walked up, took Lian Yi's hand and continued to comfort him: "Lian'er, the future will be bright, we will definitely be able to..."

"Wait!" Lian Yi made a gesture of silence and lowered his voice, "Wan Wan, did you hear anything?"

Both Shu Qingwan and Shucheng have excellent hearing. Both of them have undergone special training in hearing. Naturally, they are better at distinguishing sounds than Lian Yi. When Shu Qingwan was mentioned by Lian Yi, he really heard a voice. came.

Lian Yi also listened for a while, feeling that the voice was too small and strange, afraid that Shu Qingwan would not be able to hear it alone, so he waved to Shucheng again.

After Shucheng came over, she leaned over and said in a low voice: "Stand behind me and listen, if there are any strange sounds, it will disappear for a while."

Shucheng listened for a while, exchanged a glance with Shu Qingwan, and the two headed towards the back garden.

Lian Yi followed closely behind them, and the voice became more and more real as they got closer. It was a small and immature voice, murmuring softly: "Mother, mother, I'm afraid..."

Shucheng and Shu Qingwan distinguished their directions for a while, and then walked towards the courtyard wall not far away.

Lian Yi followed to the water tank under the courtyard wall, and heard the sounds around the courtyard wall especially, but the surrounding area was full of water tanks the size of two people hugging them, and they were still full of water. There is nowhere to hide.

Moreover, there was no other house near the Li Family Garden, and the nearest house was unknown. When they came in, they took a look at it, and it was at least a few kilometers away from the Li Family Garden.

Thinking of the yard full of corpses outside, and the surrounding darkness, Lianyi suddenly felt a little creepy.

She approached Shu Qingwan, lowered her voice and said, "Wanwan...why do I feel that this voice is a little...that what?"

As soon as Lian Yi finished speaking, the voice stopped abruptly, but after a while, the small "beeping" sound started again.

Lian Yi was terrified by this, and quickly hugged Shu Qingwan's arm.

Originally, as a successor to socialism, she sneered at such strange things since she was a child, but since she traveled to this world and met Xuan Qing and encountered various things, her heart was also shaken.

Shu Qingwan was very sympathetic to Lianyi, so she just let Lianyi hug her and didn't follow the bookstore to approach the water tank.

Just when Lian Yi was thinking about calling more people over to strengthen his courage, Shucheng followed the sound and touched the nearest water tank, then looked around twice, and suddenly reached out and lifted the water tank violently .

Unexpectedly, Shucheng moved upwards, but did not lift up the entire water tank, but lifted the top layer of the water tank that resembled a wooden basin.

That thing perfectly fits the caliber of the water tank, the depth is only about [-] centimeters, it is filled with water, and embedded in the mouth of the water tank, it fits seamlessly, and there is no abnormality at all.

Lian Yi took a closer look, and found that there was a hole in the bottom of the water tank, which was big enough to hold a tiger.

She took a closer look, there was no tiger, but there was indeed a six or seven-year-old girl sitting blankly underneath.

When the little girl saw them, she shrank in fright, even her voice was crying, and she kept murmuring the word "mother" in fear.

"There's actually a little girl?" Lian Yi looked at Shu Qingwan in astonishment, and then at Shucheng, "That little voice just now was her, right? Her name is Mother, could it be Aunt Chun's child?"

Shu Qingwan signaled the guards in the distance to come over with a torch, and immediately replied: "It should be."

"I heard that Li Shaoheng likes this Concubine Chun very much, but Concubine Chun is the daughter of a criminal minister. She lived in a brothel in her early years. Although she followed Li Shaoheng later, because of her status, the Li family didn't recognize her at all."

"It is said that she gave birth to a child for Li Shaoheng, but the Li family still did not recognize it."

With such a miserable life experience, Lian Yi felt a little sympathetic.

She leaned over to look at the little girl in the water tank who gradually became clear because of the torch, and coaxed: "Is your father's name Li Shaoheng? Are you Aunt Chun's child?"

The little girl didn't answer, just looked at her with teary eyes, Lian Yi had no choice but to continue to say: "I know you are Li Shaoheng's daughter, don't be afraid, we are your father's... friends, we are I came to take you back to Li's house."

The little girl didn't know if she had listened, but she was still getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the little girl ignored her at all, Lianyi was a little helpless, so she had to signal Shucheng to come with her and get the little girl out.

Unexpectedly, they only pulled the little girl out a little, and the little girl struggled fiercely. In the end, they had no choice but to use brute force to pull her out.

If you just let her stay inside and wait for them to leave, what should you do if something happens to you.

Even though Li Shaoheng is nothing, the child is innocent.

They couldn't stand the little girl's struggle, so they had to fish out the little girl and let go. The little girl ran a few steps, maybe because of fear, she fell to the ground very quickly, and backed up with her hands in panic.

Lian Yi wanted to help her, one step forward, and the little girl took one step back.

Lian Yi turned her head to look at Shu Qingwan who was behind her, and said inexplicably, "I didn't do anything to her either? Could it be that I look terrible?"

Shu Qingwan was almost amused by Lian Yi's stupefied appearance, so he couldn't help reaching out and rubbing Lian Yi's head as if no one else was there, and walked forward: "Don't be afraid, I'm your mother's friend, Aunt Chun, we are To take you to see her."

The little girl struggled for a moment, but she really didn't struggle anymore, Ren Shu Qingwan led her up and helped her up.

Oh my god, she is really good-looking and can do whatever she wants, isn't the heroine's halo also against the sky?

Lian Yi was hit hard, but when she thought that this heroine who was all over the country and city was now hers, she felt inexplicably better again.

After calming down the little girl's emotions, Shu Qingwan asked the little girl some questions.

But the little girl may have been hidden in the water tank by Aunt Chun when the man in black first arrived, so she didn't know anything about it, and she didn't even know that everyone in the yard had died.

In the end, the little girl was sad, but they still didn't let the little girl see Aunt Chun's body.

But before Lian Yi left, she went to tell Aunt Chun that they would return the little girl to the Li family. When Lian Yi saw Aunt Chun's face, she realized why the little girl didn't reject Shu Qingwan.

It turned out that this Aunt Chun actually looked a bit like Shu Qingwan, she looked like the one that Shu Qingwan hung on, she was as cool and cold as a lotus flower just emerging from the mud.

It seems that Li Shaoheng is a woman who likes this style, so she will never forget Shu Qingwan.

After dealing with the matter of Li's Bieyuan, Lian Yi took Shucheng and the secret guards to search the Bieyuan again, but still found nothing. Shucheng even smashed all the water tanks under the courtyard wall. Through, did not find anything useful.

They had no choice but to leave, took the little girl back to the city, and asked Shu Qingwan to send her back to Li's house overnight.

The reason why they dared to come to Li's Bieyuan was because Shucheng didn't have time to stop all the people in black, so at this time Pei Yanfeng probably knew that they were the ones going to Li's Bieyuan, so there was nothing to hide .

When the people of the Li family heard about Li Shaoheng and the tragedy in Li's Bieyuan, their faces were very ugly.

Originally thought that the people of the Li family might not be willing to take in the little girl, but maybe it was because of Li Shaoheng's death that they had a little love for the house. After listening to Shu Qingwan's narration, Mrs. Li did not reject the little girl.

When Shu Qingwan was about to go out, Master Li personally sent her to the door, and saw Shu Qingwan's jumpsuit waiting for Shucheng outside the door, he paused for a moment, and even raised his hand to salute her.

Lian Yi guessed that it was Shu Qingwan who told her about her participation in the rescue, so she also stood up and bowed solemnly.

Unexpectedly, just as Shu Qingwan turned around and before she walked down the steps, the little girl suddenly ran out from the house. Regardless of the guard at the door, she ran to Shu Qingwan's side and held Shu Qingwan's hand.

Shu Qingwan didn't understand, so: "Do you have something to say to me?"

"Don't worry, this is the home of your grandfather and grandmother, and they will definitely take you in."

The little girl shook her head, untied her clothes, pulled out an envelope from her arms, and handed it to Shu Qingwan: "Original mother said that this thing cannot be given to anyone, but I just heard you say that you originally I want to save my father and mother."

"I think you should be a good person. I know you all came to my mother for this, so I'll give this to you."

The action of the little girl shocked the three people present.

It was Master Li who was the first to react, rushed forward in a few steps, snatched the envelope in Shu Qingwan's hand, and opened it for browsing.

But after a while, Master Li's face became even more ugly, and he said sadly: "It turned out to be really done by this kid, Henger, you are so confused!"

Shu Qingwan took the letter paper from Master Li, but he didn't expect that the content mentioned above was indeed the handle that Li Shaoheng originally wanted to give them.

Shu Qingwan and Lian Yi looked at each other, and said to Mr. Li: "Uncle, Mr. Li delivered this letter to me before he died. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help Mr. Li fulfill his wish."

Master Li hesitated for a moment, walked up to hold the little girl's hand and said, "Then please trouble Miss Shu."

When Master Li saw the letter, he thought for a moment, or he could simply take the letter and sue Pei Yanfeng into the imperial city in conjunction with the death of the Li Family Garden and the death of Li Shaoheng.

But Pei's mansion has not lost power at this time, and Pei Yanfeng is backed by the Procurement Supervisor, Li's mansion is not as good as before, and the probability of being able to bring Pei Yanfeng down is too low.

Why not just go along with Shu Qingwan and let this evidence play a bigger role.

Shu Qingwan also thought about the above operation, but on second thought, Pei Yanfeng probably already knew that they had got something to do. If they let Li's family attend Pei Yanfeng's book like this, Pei Yanfeng would definitely know that they deliberately stood by and watched.

If Pei Yanfeng was angered because of this, and they would fight to the death with them, revealing Lianyi's identity, then they would throw away the watermelon for the sake of sesame seeds, and shoot themselves in the foot with a stone.

That's why she opened her mouth to get back the blame, at least to maintain a superficial calm and give them more time to receive Pei Yanfeng's clue.

Shu Qingwan understood Master Shu's meaning, bowed his hands, then hid the letter in his secret pocket, walked down the steps and left with Lianyi.

In the evening, Shu Qingwan stayed in the Ruan Mansion again, and the two studied the clues left by Li Shaoheng from the beginning to the end in the room. There was no evidence for the confession here, only some clues were mentioned, and the specific content needed to be verified by themselves. .

The two discussed it all night, and when they got up the next day, they ordered Shucheng and Shu Qingwan's subordinates to secretly investigate the truth of the case.

Shu Qingwan accompanied Lian Yi and Zhou after breakfast, and planned to go back to the Shu Mansion to deal with business matters, but just as he walked to the door, he saw the housekeeper of the Shu Mansion riding a fast horse towards the entrance of the Ruan Mansion.

Shu Qingwan stepped down the steps, frowned slightly: "Why are you in such a hurry, how can I offend my fellow villagers?"

The butler hastily got off his horse and rushed to Shu Qingwan's face: "Miss, it's not good, miss, our young master has been arrested and sent to prison!"

Lian Yi at the door had already heard the housekeeper's words. She walked down the steps and walked behind Shu Qingwan: "What's going on? What did Shu Qingyan do and was taken away? Your master beat him, didn't he come from the front?" How many days have you just raised it?"

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on." The butler was about to cry anxiously, and approached in a low voice, "Young master was taken away with Young Master Biao, it is said...it is said that someone was killed. …”

"What! Is Shu Qingyan crazy?" Lian Yi asked in surprise.

Although the crowds on the street are not too dense, there are still a lot of people coming and going. The housekeeper dared not say too much, fearing that other people would hear it, so he only urged: "I don't know the details of this old slave, but the young lady should go back to the house with the old slave as soon as possible." Let's see."

"Master's just arrived in Xuli City, the house is in a mess now, and I'm waiting for you to go back and make the decision."

Shu Qingwan thought for a moment: "Brother was taken away by whom, is it Lord Zhizhou?"

"It should be." The housekeeper said anxiously, "But they didn't say anything."

Shu Qingwan stepped on the stirrups, turned on the horse that the servants of the Ruan family brought out for her, and said to the housekeeper, "Got it, you go back first, I'll ask my brother what's going on?"

Before Shu Qingwan caught the horse's belly, he saw Lian Yi also get on the steward's horse: "I'll go with you and see if I can help Brother Shu."

Shu Qingwan didn't refuse, as soon as he pulled the rein, the horse galloped towards the prison.

"Shucheng Book Disc, prepare a car for Steward Shu to go home." After Lian Yi ordered, he clamped his horse's belly and followed Shu Qingwan away.
