C292 In the past evil has been done (1/2)

After all, they were in the mansion, and it seemed that the torrential rain wouldn't stop for a while.

Furthermore, the black-robed man appeared again yesterday, causing Lin Chuyue to have no choice but to be on guard against him.

However, they did not have the slightest understanding of this mansion. If some irresistible factor were to appear, it would be impossible for them to find a place to stay.

”Uncle Li, you have taken care of all of our lives.”

Lin Chuyue's words were a little too serious, but if he didn't, she couldn't let the Uncle Li tell her his secret.

”You need to know that the Central Origin Pavilion is a Princess Qing Ling where the Hua Kingdom resides, and my identity is that of a Prince Yan's Wife. If something were to happen to the two of us, would the Duke and the Emperor let your family off?”

Sure enough, after Lin Chuyue finished speaking, Uncle Li, who had his head lowered until then, raised his eyes. His eyes that were still filled with fear, became even more panicked.

”Prince Yan's Wife, this old one's family is innocent.”

The Uncle Li's expression was abnormally excited. Qingyi and Li Yu walked forward and guarded Lin Chuyue, as if they were afraid that the Uncle Li would do something too extreme.

”So, Uncle Li, it's better if you tell me what you know. It looks like the heavy rain still needs a day and a night to tell me. Last night, someone tried to assassinate Princess Qing Ling, if I didn't arrive in time, you should know the consequences.”

”…”

When Lin Chuyue's words fell, Uncle Li's face instantly turned ashen.

”Could it be that she really came back?”

Uncle Li swallowed his saliva as his whole body shivered uncontrollably.

”Uncle Li, you can be at ease with us here. All you need to do is to tell us the truth about this house, especially the corpses inside the walls of the Zhongyuan Pavilion. What exactly is going on?”

”A corpse.”

Li Yu frowned, even Qing Yi did not look good.

Lin Chuyue nodded her head, the light yellow figure that they saw on the walls of the Natal Palace yesterday was a human corpse, it was obvious that someone had buried many of their corpses inside the walls.

”Prince's Wife, did you really see it?”

”Yes, I saw it.”

Uncle Li let out a deep sigh. He took the pipe and the pole from his waist, lit up the tobacco with a match and started smoking.

After a long while, when all the smoke had been burnt out, Uncle Li finally raised his head slowly, and looked at Lin Chuyue with even more intense fear in her eyes.

”Actually, we have to start from ten years ago.”

After Uncle Li said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was considering whether or not to say this out loud. But since things had come to this point, what else was there for him to hide?

If any of Princess Qing Ling or any of them made a mistake, the lives of their entire family would be implicated.

”Ten years ago, at that time, I was also leading a group of people through this route. Originally, the weather was fine on that day, but afterwards, strong gales arose in all directions. It's like the weather now.”

Uncle Li turned his head and his gaze landed on the gloomy sky outside the window. He then started to talk about what happened ten years ago.

At that time, Li Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom were in the midst of a period of conflict, but there were still many merchants that were trading with the two countries.

It was just as the Uncle Li had said.

It was a day ten years ago that Uncle Li led a caravan from Hua Kingdom to Li Kingdom.
