Someone immediately ran to find the old man, and the old man handed his granddaughter to his daughter-in-law and went out.
"Are you gentlemen passing by? Come in and warm up quickly?"
Old Master Tai greeted the guests, and Tai Jiye also smiled and said, "Yes, we are about to send the ice lanterns to the back court, but a few officials have arrived first."
A few officers glanced at the yard and saw that everyone was busy and the ground was covered with ice chips. Their expressions improved a little.

Everyone was confused and didn't understand why their whereabouts were being investigated.
It was still Mr. Tai who responded, "Yes, sir. We have accepted the job of carving ice lanterns for our government office. We have been busy and have no time to go out and wander around."
"Of course. My eldest son has taken some people to Jiangchazi to cut ice. He should be back soon. They are watched by the guards at the city gates whenever they come in and out. They have been behaving themselves..."

"Yes," Old Master Tai pointed at Tai Jiye and said, "My youngest son hangs out in the city and knows a few people. Three of them passed by last night, and we were about to have dinner, so we treated them to a few bowls of wine."
After saying that, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "This...isn't against the law, right? Or did those three people get into trouble? Officer, we are an honest family and we absolutely have nothing to do with it!"
The leading officer waved his hand, "No need to speculate, those three are dead! They died in the backyard of the casino. They were stabbed multiple times, and their blood was all over the ground."
Everyone gasped and turned pale with fear when they heard it.
