"And why were the soldiers here, exactly?" Lin Mu asked.
"They were looking for some clues. Apparently, a wanted person used to live in the house and had a lot of things hidden there. They upturned the entire house but didn't find anything.
Not feeling satisfied by the lack of the evidence, they went ahead and ransacked the other two houses too. Of course, the people living there opposed them, but they were beaten up and taken away by the guards.
We never saw them again and didn't dare to ask around either. A few months after that, the place was pretty much dug out and they supposedly found something hidden underground. There was even a cave inside." The man answered.
Hearing it all, Lin Mu knew for sure that it was the work of Gu Yao. Or was done under his command.
'Seems about right. He wouldn't care for a few commoners. Shame that they had to die for it though…' Lin Mu thought to himself.
