“Princess Jiahe, our Chief Feng has gone to the Heavenly Prison and I’m afraid he won’t be back for a while.”
Li Youran rushed over, but missed Feng Yu, and had no choice but to hurriedly head towards the prison.
Little did anyone know that after Li Youran left, the guard who had just responded to her finally raised his flushed face.
Prior to this, Li Youran had selected two handsome guards from the duty room and taken them away, which was rumored to be related to Li Youran's fondness for men.
"Chief Feng, Princess Jiahe says she has something important to discuss with you."
Feng Yu had just finished interrogating the suspect and hadn't even had time to throw away the whip in his hand. Seeing this, he casually tossed it to the guard who came to deliver the message, and then, with dark circles under his eyes, walked towards the entrance of the prison.
It's worth noting that Feng Yu is notoriously ruthless in interrogation, earning him the nickname "Black Yama."
This storm was even fiercer than usual. After all, this matter was entrusted to him by Li Youran, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest, interrogating the prisoners overnight.
Not to mention the prisoners couldn't hold on any longer, even Feng Yu, who was interrogating them, was starting to feel the strain.
So when Li Youran saw Feng Yuli, she saw that he had two big dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very haggard. Li Youran was slightly taken aback when she saw this.
"Why are you so busy? Look how tired you are. Don't you know how to take a break?"
Li Youran frowned and looked at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu's weary body seemed to instantly become refreshed, healed by Li Youran's smile.
Feng Yu hurriedly straightened his wrinkled clothes, then smiled and said to Li Youran.
"We've got a clue about the situation, and the truth will come out soon."
From the moment Master Qiufeng gave Feng Yu the clue, only a day and a night had passed, and Feng Yu had already imprisoned all the suspects related to this matter in the Heavenly Prison, and obtained a lot of useful information from them.
Wait a little longer, and when the last suspect confesses, all the evidence can be presented, pointing to the incompetent master, and his true colors will be revealed.
"Young Master Feng is so dedicated; he truly deserves to be called a descendant of loyal and virtuous officials. His Majesty must be very moved."
Looking at Feng Yu's smile, Li Youran felt that the relationship between the two was too ambiguous, so she changed to an official tone and spoke to Feng Yu.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two shifted from ambiguous to one of professional dedication...
While Feng Yu was diligently pursuing the truth, Tang Lei also started with Dongfang Bai and learned a lot about Master Wuneng.
He introduced himself as the incompetent master who had cultivated himself in Wuzhi Mountain for many years, but in reality he was just a fake monk who had become a monk halfway through his life.
Before this, Master Wuneng and Dongfang Bai frequented casinos and brothels, earning them a notorious reputation.
Later, out of necessity to survive, he transformed himself into a six-point monk wearing a kasaya.
He didn't learn anything else, but he picked up a lot of the monks' pretentious mannerisms, constantly spouting profound words that left people confused.
"The temple where Master Wuneng used to be was an extremely popular temple for praying for children. Many women went to the temple to pray for children, and it was said that their prayers were always answered."
As Tang Lei spoke, he glanced at Li Youran and the Crown Princess, then stopped talking.
The Crown Prince, standing to the side, looked at Tang Lei and said...
"Neither of them are outsiders, so feel free to speak your mind."
Tang Lei opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but finally continued speaking.
"There have been many women whose husbands went to temples to cause trouble, saying that their children looked very much like the incompetent master in the temple, and that the incompetent master had an affair with the women, and that the temple was a place where filth was kept. But the matter was never resolved."
Li Youran, who was eating sunflower seeds nearby, was so shocked that she dropped the seeds on the table. She never imagined that such an absurd thing could happen in this world.
What a ridiculous story of praying for a child in a temple! It turns out that the incompetent master had pulled a switcheroo.
"Is there really such an absurd thing in this world?"
Before Li Youran could voice her question, Crown Princess Zhu Zi spoke first.
"In folk customs, it is considered the greatest sin for a woman not to bear children. Not only will she be bullied by her parents-in-law, but she will also be divorced."
His Highness the Crown Prince didn't show much emotion; he knew how difficult life would be for a woman without a child.
Putting aside everything else, just look at his mother. If she didn't have children, she would have been forgotten in the harem long ago.
But what good is having children if you still end up dying of depression?
Thinking of this, His Highness the Crown Prince wore a faint sadness on his face.
"Your Highness is quite right. Most of these women were there voluntarily, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. As for why these matters were eventually dropped, some men were impotent, and if they continued to make trouble, they would lose face, so they let it go. Others were settled by Master Wuneng with money. Only a very small number couldn't swallow their anger, and they all later suffered at Master Wuneng's hands."
Although Tang Lei had found out a lot of things, this was the one for which he could obtain the most evidence, since these women and their families were real.
His Highness the Crown Prince immediately dispatched men to Wuzhi Mountain to retrieve the evidence at top speed.
“Princess, appearances can be deceiving. Although he is not handsome, he has excellent physical strength and can do two hundred push-ups in one go without any problem.”
“Princess, physical strength alone is not enough. I am proficient in all kinds of entertainment. I guarantee I can relieve boredom.”
The next morning, as Li Youran passed by the duty room, he thought that Princess Qingshui must have gotten tired of the guards from yesterday, so he decided to pick out two handsome young men and send them to Princess Qingshui again.
