Half an hour later, people from the yamen arrived.
Also coming with them were Master Li's family members.
After seeing how Master Li died, the family burst into tears, and their cries were the only sounds heard in the entire academy.
"You murderer." Master Li's wife, Lin, rushed towards Xiao Moer.
Master Zhou stood in front of Xiao Moer, and Lin scratched his face, leaving a bloody mark.
"Master." Xiao Moer was shocked.
Seeing that she had hurt Master Zhou, Lin was so frightened that she stopped her hand and said, "You came up to me on your own. It's none of my business."
Xiao Moer wanted to step forward to argue, but Master Zhou held him tightly behind him.
Seeing little Mo'er hiding behind Master Zhou, Lin cursed angrily, "You little bastard! How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Our entire family depends on him for support. If you kill him, how will we survive?"
"I didn't kill anyone." Xiao Moer was not afraid of their anger, accusations, and scolding, and defended himself clearly word by word.
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
The officers from the yamen have basically questioned several people in the academy, and the most suspicious one is Xiao Moer.
The bailiff looked at the delicate little figure in front of him and didn't quite believe that he was the murderer.
After all, he is too young.
Even so, the necessary procedures must be followed.
"Little friend, you have to come with us." The bailiff said kindly.
"Okay, no problem. It's just that I want to find my mother."
Master Zhou immediately sent Qiu Ziming down the mountain to Chang'an City to find Bei Yutang.
There was no carriage in the academy, so Qiu Ziming could only walk all the way, while Xiao Zimo was taken to a carriage by the yamen runners and headed towards Chang'an City.
Qiu Ziming was not familiar with Chang'an City. He wandered around for a long time before he finally found Xiao Zimo's home.
He knocked on the door and it was soon opened.
The person who opened the door was a young and beautiful woman. He had met her the last time Mu Zimo came to the academy. After seeing her, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Daixiang looked at the handsome man in front of her and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
"Hello, I'm Qiu Ziming, a student from Wenjin Academy."
As soon as he told her his family's address, Daixiang remembered.
She looked past him and didn't see the young master. "Hasn't our young master come back yet?"
Qiu Ziming hurriedly asked, "Is Madam Mu at home? I have something urgent to tell her."
"She's not here. It's the same if you tell me anything."
Qiu Ziming said anxiously, "The people from the government office took Zimo away."
Dai Xiang was shocked, "Why did you take Zimo away?"
"Master Li from the academy died. Zimo was the only one present at the time. The people from the government office took him back."
"You don't think our young master killed someone, do you?" Daixiang was very angry and anxious.
"We don't believe it, but he was the only one there, and the others have alibis, so..." Qiu Ziming saw her eyes red with anxiety and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, just take him back for investigation. I believe the officials will clear Zimo's name. The most important thing now is to quickly find Madam Mu."
Dai Xiang's eyes turned red, her heart was in a mess at this moment, and she had no idea what to do.
"Woohoo, Sister Mu...she was also taken away by the people from the yamen." Dai Xiang said.
Qiu Ziming was surprised, "What happened?"
