Feng Lihen stood on the city wall, looking at the dark city, his gaze fixed in the direction of Chang'an City.
After going around in circles, I never thought it was so close, but I couldn't get to know it.
"Kageichi, from now on, investigate all of Kinomo's past, no matter how big or small."
"Yes." Ying Yi disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
She traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Tang Kingdom, and it seemed that something was not simple.
"We'll set off back to Chang'an tomorrow."
Ying Er was a little surprised. He had just rushed here from Chang'an City day and night, and now he had to go back.
"Yes." Ying Er responded.

Shopkeeper Qin and Xue Qian braved the rain and headed for the palace, but just as they reached the inner city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Where are you going?"
"We have something to discuss with Minister Wang. Please be flexible, sir." While speaking, Shopkeeper Qin quietly stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.
The official smiled. "Curfew is about to begin. You better get out quickly. Otherwise, if you're caught by the patrol, you'll end up in jail."
"Yes, yes, we must come out before curfew."
After the two of them finished talking, they headed non-stop towards the residence of the Minister of Justice.
When they arrived at the mansion, the gatekeeper saw them and told them to wait outside. After a while, the gatekeeper came out and said to them, "My master has gone to bed. Come back if you need anything."
"Young man, we really have an urgent matter to report to Lord Wang. It concerns human life." Butler Qin stuffed some silver money into the doorman's hand.
The doorman agreed to go again for the sake of money.
"I can't guarantee that the Lord will see you. Please wait here."
After a moment, the doorman came out hurriedly, "You'd better go back."
"Young man, can you let us meet Manager Wang?" Xue Qian asked.
"It's no use. I'll tell you the truth. The master is not asleep, he just doesn't want to see you. Please go back." The doorman reminded them for the sake of money.
“How could he…”
Before Xue Qian could finish his words, he was stopped by Manager Qin, "Doctor Xue, let's go back first and think of a solution later."
He lowered his voice and said, "Even if you're angry, it won't help. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Shopkeeper Qin pulled Xue Qian out of the inner city and returned home before curfew.
As soon as Dai Xiang saw the two of them coming back, she hurried forward and asked, "How is it? Have you found a way to get Sister Mu out?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that both of them looked unhappy. She felt a chill in her heart and had a bad premonition.
When Xue Qian saw Qiu Ziming, he was a little surprised, "Is the young master back?"
Speaking of this, Daixiang's expression became gloomy.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that her face looked strange, Xue Qian asked nervously.
"Something happened to the young master. News came from the academy that the young master had killed Master Li. He has now been taken away by people from the government office."
"What?!!"
"What!!"
An old man and a young boy cried out in surprise.
"How could this happen?" Xue Qian said in disbelief, "He's so young, how could he kill someone?"
Dai Xiang nodded in agreement. "I don't know what the people in the government office are doing. They arrest people at random."
Everyone in the family, both young and old, was arrested. Without a backbone, everyone seemed to be running around like a headless fly.
"Where is An Ye?" Xue Qian looked around the room but couldn't find him.
