Chapter 327: Go to the Courtyard
Chu Lingyi had other reasons for leaving Mu Li in the mansion, wanting to see if there were any rebellious people in the mansion, so he transferred Xue Ping to Mu Li's side under the pretext of protecting Mu Li.
However, these can't be said to Mu Liming, otherwise I am afraid that Mu Liming will panic and attract the attention of the other party. Chu Lingyi hoped that his guess had better be false, otherwise in order not to implicate Mu Li, he had to clear up his relationship with Mu Li as soon as possible.
After Xue Ping received Chu Lingyi's task, he always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and secretly observed the people entering and leaving the prince's mansion, and so far there has been no abnormality for this.
As soon as Mu Li was free, he would think of the drunken incident with Chu Lingyi last night, "No, no, I have to do something." Mu Li didn't want to stay in the room all the time, but he didn't let him go out of the house, so he was really idle. I don't know where Chu Lingyi has gone at this time, and whether he has sent those women back.
There are still a few children in the other courtyard, and Mu Li wants to go to the other courtyard to take a walk and see how their lives are doing.
Mu Li just wanted to go out, but was stopped by Xue Ping. "Princess, where are you going?" Once Mu Li deceived Xue Ping and ran out of the house, this time Xue Ping said that he would not leave Mu Li easily.
"Go to the courtyard and see the children."
Mu Li and Chu Lingyi have also been thinking of ways to help those orphans find a home again. But this matter can't be solved in a while, there are not many people who really want to take it in, and they have high requirements, basically they all want boys.
Although it is a palace courtyard, it is in the suburbs and a bit remote. The prince explained that he would not let the princess go far away, and Xue Ping tried his best to dissuade Mu Li and let Mu Li wait for Chu Lingyi to come back.
"It's not up to you to escort, what else is there to worry about." Mu Li only thought about Chu Lingyi's thoughts, and this time he didn't want to run away halfway under the pretext of going to see the children, but he just wanted to see the children.
"Princess, please wait a moment, I'll go and prepare the car."
Xue Ping, as a subordinate, can't make any mistakes. Since the princess had to go, Xue Ping could only respond to Mu Li's request. In order to protect Mu Li's safety, Xue Ping deliberately brought a few more people, just in case.
Chu Lingyi and Liuyun had already sent those women home. Now they want to start investigating the group of children who disappeared in Yichun Building, but there are no clues at hand. In desperation, Chu Lingyi decided to go to a few corners near Yichun Tower to look for clues. After all, it was dark last night, and many clues may not have been found.
The strange thing is that today's Yichun Building is not open. Could it be because of last night's fuss? Chu Lingyi asked Liuyun to inquire, only to learn that the old bustard in Yichun Building suddenly died last night.
"Dead?"
The death of the old bustard is a bit surprising, seeing how he died inexplicably when he was so alive and kicking last night. Chu Lingyi felt that the bustard's violent death might be related to the missing child. The bustard must have hidden a secret and didn't tell it.
Chu Lingyi and Liuyun walked into Yichun Building and found that it was empty, what happened here after Chu Lingyi left, how could it have declined overnight.
"Lord Wang, what do you think this is?" Liuyun found many notes on the ground, which read, 'Woe to the world, deserve death'.
The bustard's skin and meat business has indeed harmed a lot of women from good families, and he deserves to die, but he should also be punished by the laws of the dynasty, and it is not the turn of others. Chu Lingyi snorted, "So it's mysterious." ”
Obviously, someone deliberately wanted to kill the old bustard to hide the truth of the matter, but under the pretext of God punishing people, Chu Lingyi had seen too many tricks.
"Go and find out where the paper came from?"
Chu Lingyi touched the paper and found that it was not an ordinary raw xuan that ordinary people could afford, but a processed cooked xuan, and it was mica cooked xuan, this kind of rice paper is generally only used by rich and noble families.
There is only one company that processes mica, and the quantity produced is not much, most of them are supplied to the royal family, and of course, a small part is reserved for major wealthy families.
Just check who has bought it recently, and you can find out who killed the bustard.
Liuyun went to check the matter of rice paper, and Chu Lingyi looked for clues near Yichun Tower to see if there were any clues left when they fled in a hurry last night.
Chu Lingyi found a rag in a corner, which should have belonged to the child. Just a rag does not play any role, and it is of no use to solving the case, it can only show that the children were indeed taken out.
Chu Lingyi didn't go far and found the same rag again, could it be that a child deliberately left it? This made Chu Lingyi feel that things had taken a turn for the better.
Mu Li walked halfway and asked Xue Ping to stop the carriage, wanting to buy some gadgets for the children to take. "Stop ahead."
"Princess, what's the matter?"
Xue Ping had already responded to Mu Li's request, and only went to other courtyards, and did not stay anywhere else. But this will still make it a little difficult for Xue Ping to stop and buy things. Xue Ping asked Mu Li to stay in the car and asked Xiaohong to go in and buy it.
"Xiaohong, remember to buy more."
In terms of treating children, Mu Li has never been stingy. These are poor children who have lost their families and are forced to work on the streets. Now that he has gotten rid of the gangs who eat people and don't spit out bones, Mu Li did his best to give them the best.
Liuyun had already found out the matter of the rice paper, but he didn't expect to meet the princess halfway when he met Chu Lingyi.
"Xue Ping, where are you taking the princess?"
Mu Li heard the voice of Liuyun, and immediately poked his head out of the carriage, but he didn't see Chu Lingyi's figure. Listening to Liuyun's words, he knew that Chu Lingyi was looking for clues near Yichun Tower.
Mu Li's eyes lit up, and he was able to meet Chu Lingyi halfway, so he asked Xue Ping to turn around and go to Chu Lingyi with Liuyun.
Originally, he was going to go to the other courtyard to see the forgotten child, but Na Cheng wanted to meet Liuyun on the road, and at this time, Xue Ping could only follow Mu Li's intention to find Chu Lingyi.
Chu Lingyi followed the rags left on the ground all the way, and unknowingly came to his own courtyard. The door of the annex was open, and even the guards outside the gate were nowhere to be found.
pointed the finger at Chu Lingyi twice in a row, who was deliberately manipulating behind it, was this to hinder Chu Lingyi from continuing to investigate, or was there another purpose.
Chu Lingyi stepped into the courtyard and saw the corpses of the children......
"Didn't you say he's here for clues? What about people? Mu Li didn't see Chu Lingyi near Yichun Tower.
Liuyun didn't know where Chu Lingyi went, and he said that he would meet here, why did he disappear.
"Forget it, let's go to the other courtyard first."
To give the children the little things, Xiaohong has already bought them. didn't even see Chu Lingyi, Mu Li thought that it was better to send the things to the children first.
On the way, Liuyun and Mu Li talked about the suicide of the old bustard in Yichun Building.
"What, that's the case?" Mu Li also felt incredible, how could a good person die violently, I'm afraid there is something here.
