One touch and one silence

When Yuan Wuqing heard this, he thought it made sense.

He respectfully took the identity token from Nanzhi's hand with both hands. I have to say, with this, he could act much more conveniently and boldly.

Nanzhi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have several farms, so he ran out immediately, giving orders as he ran.

"Liu Yue, quickly tell someone to check if there are any problems with the manors that your Highness and I have."

"Don't wait for someone to sneakily hide someone in my room."

Liu Yue originally wanted to comfort his master by saying that it was impossible, but seeing his master's serious expression and thinking that his master could tell fortunes, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Master, don't worry!"

After Liu Yue finished speaking, she took out a whistle from her arms, put it to her mouth and blew it, and soon four people appeared beside her.

"Now hurry up and check the manor under the master's name to see if there are any things or people hiding there that shouldn't be there. Remember to be very careful, especially the cellar and the vacant side yards. Check them all carefully."

As soon as Liu Yue finished giving the order, those secret guards disappeared instantly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. They have already gone to check."

Only then did Nanzhi slow down his pace.

"I guess those people haven't left the city yet. I'm afraid they are still inside the city."

If she were one of those people, she would definitely wait until the storm died down before going out, and would never go out at this moment.

There were only a few dozen people, where were they hiding? Kyoto was so big, if those people didn't know anyone, they would never dare to do this.

Therefore, they must have a place to stay in Kyoto.

Nanzhi thought of this and said, "Let's go to the city gate and take a look!" and took Liu Yue directly to the city gate.

These people are really fearless. They dare to steal children right under the imperial city. If they are caught, they will be beaten to death by the emperor.

Nanzhi quickly took Liuyue to the city wall at the city gate, and paid attention to the people coming and going.

Suddenly, a group of people caught Nanzhi's attention.

She saw the group of people who performed magic yesterday. They were pulling a lot of boxes on a horse-drawn carriage.

Nanzhi looked at the women following behind the carriage and found that among these people were the twins that Liuyue had mentioned yesterday.

Nanzhi looked at the gate guards below, opening and checking the boxes one by one.

But these people just flipped through it and took a look, and then did nothing else.

Nanzhi saw that the box was very deep, so the search was somewhat perfunctory.

She looked at the magician, who was trying to get close to the gatekeeper with a flattering look on his face, and was stuffing benefits into his hands, but these people didn't dare to accept them, probably because Liu Yue was there.

There was some unnatural tension on those people's faces, and the man who gave the bribes kept glancing at the city defenders who were checking the boxes out of the corner of his eyes. His view was very subtle, but Nanzhi, who was standing high up, could see everything clearly.

She felt a little confused. What made him so worried? Thinking of yesterday's trick, these people bewitched the woman, Nanzhi felt that there was something fishy.

"Liu Yue, look at those big boxes down there. How can they have so much luggage when there are less than ten of them?"

"Look at the marks left by the wheels. It's obviously not a simple piece of clothing."

How much do clothes weigh?

Liu Yue frowned and looked in the direction Nanzhi pointed. This time, he felt something was wrong.

"Does the master suspect them?"

Nanzhi hesitated, but still nodded, "One thing, don't you think they only have some clothes and props? Besides the cage, which is the heaviest thing, what else do they have here?"

The more Liu Yue looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Master, wait a moment. Liu Yue will go down and take a look."

At this moment, Nanzhi suddenly discovered that someone was secretly observing what was happening at the city gate.

Nanzhi stared at the woman who looked like a woman. She had a basket of vegetables in her arms and looked at the city gate from time to time.

Anyone could tell something was wrong with his guilty look.

At this time, Liu Yue had already walked down, and the guard at the door was about to let him go, but was stopped by Liu Yue.

The soldier guarding the gate saluted Liu Yue respectfully.

Liu Yue passed him directly and walked towards the carriage full of large boxes that they had just checked.

The magicians were just about to re-tie up the box they had just checked, but Liu Yue simply waved his hand to interrupt their actions.

"Sir? You... haven't you checked everything?"

Before Liu Yue could say anything, the gatekeeper immediately frowned.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go away and stay here."

Liu Yue pried open the copper lock with a sword, opened the box, and reached her hand into the box. Suddenly, she felt an obstruction.

No, the depth shouldn’t be there!

Liu Yue quickly took off all the clothes inside and threw them aside, and sure enough, she saw a partition.

Liu Yue stared at the leading man with a half-smile in his eyes.

He reached out and knocked on the mezzanine, and took a look at the depth of the box. If there was a child hiding under the mezzanine, it would definitely be very likely.

As Liu Yue opened the mezzanine, what caught his eye was half a box of stones.

This made Liu Yue confused for a moment, and she asked with a cold face.

"What are you doing with these stones? Don't tell me you want to break stones on your chests too." Without waiting for their reply, he turned around and gave another order to the soldiers at the city gate behind him.

"Go! Open all the rest for me. I want to see what you are doing."

The man who performed magic yesterday quickly stopped Liu Yue.

"Sir, we just brought these with us for convenience. Now that spring has arrived, there has been a lot of rain, and sometimes the roads are difficult to walk on. The river will flood some roads, so we just use the stones to pave a path."

"Otherwise, if water gets into our props, they will probably be ruined, so we put some stones in there."

Liu Yue smiled, "Oh! I see! Do you usually do this?"

Liu Yue looked at the woman from yesterday with eyes so cold that people dared not look directly at him.

"Yes... yes sir."

The girl lowered her head and replied fearfully.

Liu Yue sneered and used a sword to pick open the other locked boxes. Sure enough, each box had a mezzanine.

Liu Yue opened three in succession, and all three were filled with stones.

Just as Liu Yue continued to open it, he was blocked by the magician.

"Sir, you have seen everything you should have seen. You can't mess up all my things!"

"These are the things we use to make a living. You messed them up for us. How are we going to make a living from them in the future? We still have to travel. Aren't you going too far?"

This man actually dared to stop Liu Yue, which made Nanzhi applaud him.

Amazing!

Dare to provoke her Master Liu Yue. The last man in black who provoked Master Liu Yue has already entered the cycle of reincarnation.

"What if I really want to see it?" Liu Yue's eyes were devoid of any emotion as she looked at the person in front of her, as if she was looking at a dead person. The person shivered.

"My lord, you have seen everything you should have seen. It is unjustifiable for us to be so embarrassed. Aren't we just not giving you enough benefits?" The man's mind worked quickly. He thought that since he couldn't confront these soldiers guarding the city openly, he might as well be soft.

As soon as the man finished speaking, people around him began to talk.

But who is Liu Yue?

Is she the kind of person who would give up her goals just because of a few random words from others?

impossible!

Liu Yue didn't mind being pointed at at all. Her sword casually slashed across the lock on a box, and the box opened.

"Take him down. If he continues to hinder my investigation, he will be arrested and sent to the Dali Temple to reflect on his mistakes."

Stone?

If it really was a stone, why would he be so nervous?

The gatekeepers quickly forced the shouting man to his knees.

Liu Yue quickly broke the locks on all the boxes, without even stretching out his hands, he simply used his sword to lift off the top layer of clothes.

Just take out the interlayer inside.

One, two, three were all stones, until the last six boxes, Liu Yue finally found it.

At this time, the man kneeling on the ground turned around and wanted to run, but was pinned to the ground by the gatekeeper.

Liu Yue looked at the little girls tied in each box. They closed their eyes, hunched over and lay under the boxes. Despite the loud noise, they didn't react.

There were six little girls in total, all under ten years old. Judging from their clothes, they all seemed to be from wealthy families and they were good-looking too.
