"I killed him."
"..."
All was silent in front of the hall. The brush of the palace attendant painting froze abruptly.
So many bewildered eyes fell upon him, Li Yao quietly looked at these people and said, "On my way here, I encountered Li Heng in the alley. He killed the families there, leaving only a girl to play with. He had been hiding in a wine cellar for a month. When I ran into him, he was about to kill the girl too, to come here and be acknowledged as part of the family. I couldn't stop him, so I had to kill him."
A slight commotion arose in front of the hall, Lian Lin exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Yao, what! What are you talking about?"
