Liu Ming's concerns, though not unreasonable, still sounded a bit exaggerated with the assumption that "all the fighters and servants within the mansion had been silenced."
Indeed, Sun Yixie was no saint, but he was not the type to kill everyone in Murong Ji's mansion right from the start.
After all, these people were merely employees working under Murong Ji. They hadn't committed any capital offenses; there was no need to kill them.
Moreover, there had been an agreement between Sun Yixie and Mr. Lu beforehand that the officials would not tolerate any loss of life in this conflict. Therefore, Brother Sun would not cross the line unless absolutely necessary.
To make a long story short, after some searching, the elite fighters returned and reported that five or six fighters and about ten house servants guarding the mansion had been tied up and locked in the firewood shed, with no casualties.
