"yes."

After Gu Lingchen finished speaking, he withdrew and took the token given to him by Emperor Yong'an to Longtian Mansion.

He went in person. He wanted to go and tell the person in charge of Longtianfu, Lord He, what Liu Sisi had told him. He was afraid that if he sent Asheng, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

Princess's Residence.

When Liu Sisi woke up in the morning, she saw that her parents were still at her third brother's house and had not returned.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law got up, and Li Caiping, carrying Liu Mingzhe, had just stepped out the door when she saw Liu Sisi.

"Sisi, why are you up so early? Your parents are at Lao San's place and probably won't be back until noon! Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

When Li Caiping asked Liu Sisi, Liu Mingzhe stretched out his little hands for Liu Sisi to hug him.

This time, Liu Sisi didn't hug him. Instead, she had Li Caiping's maid take him aside to play.

"Sister-in-law, I have some things to take care of. Please make sure the maids keep a close eye on Xiao Zhe and make sure he doesn't run around outside."

Liu Sisi felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of the poor children she had seen last night.

Seeing Liu Sisi's serious expression, Li Caiping couldn't help but ask, "Sisi, what happened?"

"Alright, I'll tell you anyway, so you won't be caught off guard."

So Liu Sisi told Li Caiping everything that had happened the night before, and Li Caiping was both shocked and frightened after hearing it.

Liu Mingzhe would sometimes sneak out when he was playing, but luckily he didn't dare to go too far and would always come back soon.

Thankfully, she didn't encounter that group of terrifying people, otherwise... she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Sister-in-law, although I took care of most of the people there last night, I don't know if they have any accomplices in other places. It's best to be careful and never let Xiao Zhe out of the family's sight again," Liu Sisi instructed.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I understand. You go ahead and get busy! I'll talk to my parents and the third and fourth brothers when they arrive."

After saying that, Li Caiping hurriedly went to instruct the maids and servants to keep a close eye on her son.

Liu Sisi first used her magic brush to go outside the imperial city, found a secluded mountain, threw all the corpses from the space down there, and then went to Gu Lingchen's palace to wait for him to return so she could hand over the people from the space to him.

After waiting for more than an hour, Gu Lingchen finally returned.

"These are the men I grabbed from that yard last night. Here they are, see if you can get anything out of them!"

As soon as Liu Sisi saw Gu Lingchen, she spoke to him.

These people are still unconscious. Anyway, with Xi Yu and the others in the space, they will be knocked unconscious as soon as they wake up, so they haven't woken up yet.

Okay, I'll send the person to Longtian Mansion in a bit and have someone investigate.

“Those girls and children who were victimized, those within the Tianlong Kingdom who know where their homes are, I should send someone to send them back! There are too many of them, it’s not a good idea for them all to wait there.”

“Just leave some homeless people, and people from other countries, here to testify.”

"Okay, then I'll go check on them again," Liu Sisi thought, wanting to see how the girls were doing.

"Alright, I also sent more than a dozen half-dead people from that courtyard last night to Longtian Mansion. Let's see if they're willing to talk about it!"

So the two of them went their separate ways.

When Liu Sisi arrived at the courtyard, she saw that Gu Lingchen had arranged for people to protect her inside. He wasn't guarding the entrance, as he was afraid of being discovered as something was amiss, so he only dared to stay inside the courtyard.

They were drinking porridge when they saw Liu Sisi arrive, and they all stood up. Liu Sisi gestured for them to eat their own food and not to be shy.

After they finished eating, Liu Sisi asked them if anyone knew where their home was, and if they wanted to go home, she could arrange for someone to take them home.

Two-thirds of the people gave their home addresses, and Liu Sisi and Gu Lingchen arranged for people to take these women and children home.

Another third are foreign girls who can't go back so quickly, so they have to wait. And some of them don't want to go back; they want to see the bad guys punished.

Among them was Wan Chunyan. She arranged for her younger sister to be sent back, while she stayed behind. Because the investigation might require more cooperation, she decided to stay and assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

Long Tianfu arrested the people Liu Sisi had sent and interrogated them. At first, they were stubborn and unwilling to reveal anything.

Later, the Dragon Heaven Palace used all the interrogation methods on them, and finally three people couldn't withstand the torture and confessed.

These people were from a country called Yunbian. They started out as normal brokers, buying and selling people, but the owner felt that making money this way was too slow, so he started to have crooked ideas.

So they got involved with a huge human trafficking organization in China, initially only trafficking people from within the country.

They sold to wealthy people and high-ranking officials with special fetishes. Later, because their country's population was not very large, the leader of their organization felt that making money solely from their own country was too slow.

They've started expanding their influence into other countries, and have already expanded into six or seven. The one involving Tianlong Kingdom was negotiated by their leader personally, who came to talk to high-ranking officials in the capital. These lowly underlings have no idea who these high-ranking officials in the capital are.

Moreover, their leader doesn't stay in one place, precisely because he's afraid someone might be captured and betray him. So, the leader's whereabouts are unpredictable, making him very difficult to catch.

That was all they knew. When the people from Longtianfu couldn't get any more information from them, they locked the people up again.

Lord He sent people to keep an eye on things, and the high-ranking official did indeed do it discreetly. After investigating for about ten days, they still couldn't find out who it was.

At midnight on the twelfth day, the person watching the courtyard reported that a person dressed in black and with a mask on knocked on the courtyard door.
