"Really gone?" Wei Qingyi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Sanmu said, "However, the current investigation has made no progress."
"Continue the investigation. We must find out the truth." Wei Qingyi's attitude was very firm.
Shen Sanmu sighed. No matter how hard they investigated, they wouldn't find anything.
Those guys from the Imperial Observatory have been severely tortured, and even their families have been imprisoned.
So far, no one has given in.
Shen Sanmu was willing to believe that those officials really knew nothing and were innocent.
Some officials' family members were even beheaded in front of them, but even so, they still refused to confess.
If the problem doesn't lie with the officials of the Imperial Observatory, then it means the problem is more serious than they realize.
At least Shen Sanmu felt that if this matter was not properly resolved, it could very well shake the foundation of the vast empire.
Of course, there is another possibility: that the letter was indeed written by Wei Qingyi.
As for Wei Qingyi's true purpose, only Wei Qingyi herself probably knows.
Shen Sanmu hoped that this wouldn't be the case, since this situation was the most dangerous. If Wei Qingyi wanted to do anything to the Righteous Fortress, it would only bring about annihilation.
News of Bian Lang's slaying of immortals and heavenly soldiers had already reached the capital.
Even the gods in the heavens couldn't do anything to Bian Lang. Even if they had a million soldiers, what could they do to Bian Lang?
Shen Sanmu originally wanted to ask Wei Qingyi directly, but seeing Wei Qingyi's extremely unpleasant expression, he didn't ask and immediately left the main hall.
The sky outside was gray, and the wind was strong, as if it was about to rain.
However, based on Chen Sanmu's experience, such weather, though seemingly terrifying, may actually mean that not a single drop of rain will fall.
After being teleported to the next city, Shangguan Hongyu didn't want to return to Justice Fortress and suddenly wanted to go to Peach Blossom Cave.
Bian Lang was somewhat surprised and asked, puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Peach Blossom Cave?"
"I'm just going to visit Feng Xiao," Shangguan Hongyu said with a smile.
Bian Lang said speechlessly, "Your relationship with Feng Xiao isn't that good, is it?"
"Actually, we have a very good relationship, you just don't know it." Shangguan Hongyu blinked, her expression extremely playful.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "In that case, let's go and have a look around Peach Blossom Cave."
The two suddenly changed their plans and, after several teleportations, headed straight for Peach Blossom Cave.
The news quickly reached the capital.
Wei Qingyi became increasingly uneasy upon learning that the two had gone to Peach Blossom Cave.
The world is so vast, returning to Justice Fortress is the right thing for them. Why are they suddenly running off to Peach Blossom Cave? What are they trying to do?
"Shen Qing, do you think they might be going there to raise money?" Wei Qingyi asked, looking up as she pondered.
Shen Sanmu's expression was rather unpleasant. He felt that Wei Qingyi's reaction was strange, and he kept sending people to keep an eye on Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu, which made him seem like a thief crying "stop thief!"
Shen Sanmu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps they are just visiting Peach Blossom Cave."
Who in the world wouldn't want to seek pleasure in Peach Blossom Cave?
"No, we still need to keep an eye on them." Wei Qingyi clenched her fists so tightly they cracked.
At this moment, Shen Sanmu confirmed his suspicions.
The letter sent to Justice Fortress was Wei Qingyi's masterpiece.
Even if Wei Qingyi achieves her goal in the end, she will likely lose the support of the people, making it a losing proposition.
...
We arrived at Peach Blossom Cave at dusk.
This is when Peach Blossom Cave is most crowded.
The two did not go directly to find Feng Xiao, but instead stayed at the inn.
With the country prosperous and the people at peace, business at Peach Blossom Cave is booming.
Shangguan Hongyu once greatly admired Feng Xiao and longed to live a life like Feng Xiao's.
After dinner, Shangguan Hongyu asked Bian Lang where he wanted to go.
When a normal man comes to Peach Blossom Cave, the first place he usually goes is the brothel.
The girls in the brothels were all beautiful and skilled in bed, far surpassing any other brothel in the world.
Shangguan Hongyu had been to Peach Blossom Cave a few times, but had never been to the brothel. She immediately suggested that they go to the brothel for a stroll.
Bian Lang said speechlessly, "What are you, a woman, doing in a brothel?"
"Is that all there is to the pleasure quarters?" Shangguan Hongyu rolled her eyes and complained.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Enjoying tea and music is indeed a very pleasant experience."
After agreeing on their plans, the two went to a brothel.
The nighttime entertainment district is the liveliest.
Hua Niang, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, was shocked to suddenly see Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu.
She hurried over to greet them, smiling, "What brings you here?"
"Just passing by for a stroll," Shangguan Hongyu chuckled.
Hua Niang quickly invited the two inside and arranged the best seats for them.
Having received no prior notice, it's clear that Feng Xiao was unaware that the two had appeared at Peach Blossom Cave.
After serving the tea, the flower maid asked with a smile, "Should I go and invite the cave master?"
"No need for that, we're just here to listen to the music," Shangguan Hongyu said with a smile.
Hua Niang smiled and nodded, then immediately went to make the arrangements.
The pre-arranged program for tonight's entertainment venue was a dance performance, which attracted many wealthy people to watch.
This sudden change to singing will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people.
But Hua Niang knew she had to do it; these two were more important than the other guests.
Upon learning of the changes to tonight's program, many guests expressed their dissatisfaction, and some even smashed tables.
"It seems that Hua Niang is very good at judging the situation," Bian Lang said with a smile.
Shangguan Hongyu frowned and asked, "Honey, have I gotten into trouble?"
