Fu Hua was forcibly dragged into the crowd by Cang Xiaoxuan, though that was not quite right... If Fu Hua truly had not wanted to go, Cang Xiaoxuan would not have been able to move her.
To Fu Hua, however, none of it mattered. Since Cang Xiaoxuan was interested, she would simply accompany her and take a look.
Once they reached the crowd, Fu Hua slipped inside without any of the ordinary people noticing.
Only after entering the crowd did Fu Hua discover that... several servants were assisting two constables in placing two corpses into coffins. The dead were a maid and a household servant, both seemingly quite young, around their teens.
Their deaths were rather gruesome, especially the servant... His entire face had turned blue-green. The maid's body and face were covered in scratches, and they did not look like human claw marks. They looked more like they had been made by some wild beast.
"Another death!!"
"What a horrible way to die. This doesn't look like the work of a person, does it? Could it be..."
"Master Lu is such a good man. Why would something like this happen in his household?"
"Exactly. Fortunately, Master Lu himself is fine. Otherwise, there would be one less great philanthropist in this world."
Several bystanders beside Fu Hua stared at the corpses, discussing them with fear and regret...
And it seemed this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
Fu Hua and the little ancestor stood there, listening to the discussions around them without saying anything. Still, they roughly pieced together some information. The master of the household before them was an assistant official. Anyone who had watched historical dramas had probably heard the term "assistant official" often enough, but few likely knew what it actually meant.
