Sikong Yan found it funny in his heart. This clever girl was really very similar to my daughter.

The maid and the guards followed Sizhe's finger and opened their mouths wide, fearing that if the little finger fell on them, they would be accused of a false crime. They were so nervous that they kept swallowing their saliva. Their legs were shaking more and more.

Si Zhe's fingers moved back and forth between them, frightening them to the point of gushing bile. Finally, his fingers landed on the corpse.

"Huo——"

The maids and guards heaved a sigh of relief. It was so close. If the finger had fallen on them, the young master might have believed it. That would have been a wrongful death! Fortunately, this beggar still had a conscience.

"You said Liu Qi tied you up!" Sikong Yan looked at Sizhe. Sizhe nodded. "But why did she tie you up?" Sikong Yan was very confused.

Si Zhe shook his head and said, "I want to know too! As soon as I arrived at Qingxin Cottage yesterday, he walked out. He was so fierce to me! He called me a stinking beggar like them, and I was scared to death." He waved his finger at the maids in Qitian Xiaohan Mansion. They couldn't help but shrink their feet. What does this have to do with them?

"What happened next?" Sikong Yan was very curious.

"She said to me, 'You stinky beggar, come with me!' I asked why I should go with you. She said that if the young master saw me so dirty, he would be disgusted! She asked me to go with him to change clothes!"

"Huh? Is that what Liu Qi said?" Lu Wan felt very strange. Is she so kind?

Sizhe glanced at her and continued talking about what happened yesterday.

"Then I followed him, but when I followed him into the woods, he tied me up!"

The servants really wanted to know what Liu Qi would do next. They asked: "Then what?"

"Then he seemed to be looking for something and left!"

After hearing what Si Zhe said, they continued to ask: "Then do you know where he went?"

Si Zhe was aggrieved, "Your question is really funny. I was tied up there, how could I know where he went?"

Sikong Yan nodded and said, "Sizhe is right. Guard Shi, you should bury Liu Qi. I will write a letter to my father, and you can deliver it to me this afternoon."

"Yes, sir." Guard Shi took the order and told his men to move the body away.

Yu Zhu yelled, "Hey, wait!"

Sikong Yan frowned: "What else do you want?"

"Sir, Liu Qi is dead, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet. Are we just going to let it go?" She kept her eyes on Si Zhe. This damn bastard couldn't be brought down no matter what, and he almost dragged me and my sisters into this. It would be extremely dangerous for us if he stayed in the mansion, so we had to get rid of him.

Sikong Yan said coldly: "In this mansion, neither you nor he is. Then who do you think is the murderer?"

Qian Yu jumped up: "Sir, you are not saying that he was the one who killed Liu Qi!"

The other maids shouted in unison: "Is this impossible?"

In order to achieve their goals, they really united. Sikong Yan showed an evil smile, which made the maids forget their fear. "No one in this world would kill themselves, unless——"

"Unless what?" The maids must find something to hold against them so that they can get stuck in an extreme case.

Sikong Yan snorted coldly, pulled Sizhe back, and said as he walked: "Unless she is sick!"

"what?"

"Liu Qi is sick?"

"I do not know how?"

Watching the young master and the annoying little figure walking further and further away, Yu Zhu chased after them and asked loudly: "Young master, who killed Liu Qi? How are you going to explain to the emperor?"

Sikong Yan didn't want to pay any attention to him and took Sizhe directly to Qingxin Cottage. At this time, the yard in front of Qingxin Cottage was full of children in tattered clothes. There were at least a hundred of them.

"So many?" Sikong Yan was shocked, but he immediately returned to normal. Even if there were more, he could afford to support them.

Si Zhe was also amazed. It turned out that there were so many people in the world who looked exactly like him. He followed Si Kong Yan and slowly passed through the children. Suddenly, he found several familiar faces. Who is this? Where have I seen him before? Although his face was dirty, he still recognized him. Isn't this fat boy the one he bit?

He turned his head to look at the other side, where the little boy from the Qian family was wiping his tears. And those, weren't they the ones who were clamoring to watch their striptease performance? How did they become beggars? Suddenly he remembered what his grandfather told him about the lost children in the village. But he couldn't figure it out, they had parents, why were they sent in as beggars.

Captain Chen was seen smiling as he bowed and clasped his fists towards Sikong Yan who was walking towards him.

"Your kindness has moved heaven and earth. Today, many homeless children heard the good news and gathered at the gate of Piwan City. After lunch, I sent them here."

Sikong Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Captain Chen really pleases me! Haha, a big reward! Yuzhu!"

Yu Zhu ran over happily, "Reward Captain Chen with one thousand taels of silver!"

"Yes!"

My God, he was rewarded with so much money, and Brother Yan didn't even ask if they were real homeless children. Isn't this cheating?

"Slow down! Brother Yan, please listen to me first. It's not too late to reward you later." Sizhe ran to Yu Zhu and stopped her.

Yu Zhu was furious. This was her only chance to show off her glory in front of her peers, but this stinky beggar dared to stop her.

"Get out of here! Who do you think you are?" Broke Cherry and cursed.

He didn't expect that this little beggar he brought with him would dare to block his way to wealth. Captain Chen's eyes stabbed Sizhe like knives.

Sikong Yan was curious again: "Si Zhe, don't you want to?"

Sizhe jumped up to Sikong Yan and waved her hands: "No, no, if they are really beggars, then I will be very happy. In the future, he can become Sizhe's playmate. But, brother Yan," he lowered his head and was about to say something.

Sikong Yan touched their heads lovingly: "But what's the matter?"

"But have you ever asked them what their names are, where they live, and why they became homeless?"

Captain Chen was anxious to get the money, so he nervously cupped his hands and said, "Sir, they all said they were homeless and had no home. They also had no name!"

Si Zhe pouted: "Really? Then I'll find someone to ask?"

Captain Chen didn't know if these were all homeless children. If they weren't, and he found out something, all the money he had earned would be gone. So he said to Si Zhe with a smile on his face, "They are indeed just like you, coming from various towns. And you can tell by their clothes. As a captain, how dare I deceive Master Yan!"

Sikong Yan thought about it and thought that maybe Sizhe felt that if he recruited so many fellow disciples, he would not love him as much in the future. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yan will still love you the most in the future!"
