Zhou Ping was so grateful that he thought his life would end in such a gloomy way, but unexpectedly the sky cleared up after the rain and things took a turn for the better.

"Get out now."

Several jailers impatiently kicked him out.

Zhou Ping walked all the way to the street and raised his chest.

He was followed after walking a few steps. Gu Yunru was still in Ruyi Inn, not going anywhere, waiting for those people to report the news.

"Qingfeng, what do you think about this matter?"

Gu Yunru wanted to hear the opinions of several people around her.

"I have no knowledge of this matter, nor do I know the ins and outs of it."

“………”Gu Yunru looked at Qingfeng, whose presence was very low, and waved her hands helplessly.

"Forget it, it's better not to ask you." Gu Yunru shook his head in extreme disappointment.

"Princess, do you think Zhou Ping is in danger?" Qing Xing asked curiously, muttering to herself.

"Danger? What danger?"

"Zhang San died as soon as he came out. Will Zhou Ping also..." Qingxing was just making a random guess. Gu Yunru suddenly thought of something and ordered Qingfeng in front of him to go out and protect Zhou Ping's safety.

After the people walked away, Gu Yunru took a deep breath and silently chanted "Amitabha" in her heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Zhou Ping.

Sure enough, within half an incense stick of time, not long after Zhou Ping left the Ministry of Justice, he was targeted by another group of people.

They followed Zhou Ping's steps quietly, and when he reached a dead end, they began to take out the daggers in their hands.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Zhou Ping took the wrong road and was about to find another way when he suddenly noticed that the men in front of him were staring at him ferociously, and it looked like they had bad intentions.

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!" The two men said as they stabbed him with the daggers in their hands. Zhou Ping was a weak man and was no match for them at all.

Just when he thought he would be killed here today and closed his eyes in despair, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting and the two men fell to the ground for some reason.

Qingfeng acted extremely quickly and captured the two men alive and handed them over to Cheng Shaoyuan, who then ordered the Dali Temple to interrogate the two men as quickly as possible about their purpose and motives.

The news reached Ruyi Inn, and Gu Yunru put down the teacup in his hand.

"I didn't expect Qingxing's guess was so accurate. Yunru, what are you going to do next?" Tingya looked at Gu Yunru in front of her curiously. Gu Yunru pursed her lips and said, "This Zhou Ping must know something."

After saying that, he took Qingfeng and Qingxing to the Dali Temple.

The two men were still being interrogated. Cheng Shaoyuan looked at Gu Yunru approaching with joy in his eyes.

"Leave this to me. Don't worry, I will definitely find out their motives from the investigation."

"It's okay, I'm just taking a look, you guys go on asking questions." Gu Yunru is best at reading people's expressions. These two men don't look very good at martial arts, and who knows where they came from.

"Why don't you tell the truth quickly? Why did you try to assassinate Zhou Ping?"

"Zhou Ping? His name is Zhou Ping, we don't even know him."

"If you don't know him, then why bother to assassinate him? It's a waste of time." Cheng Shaoyuan looked at the two prisoners awaiting trial with a serious face. The two men did speak their mind, but they were too cunning and always avoided the important issues.

By analyzing the expressions of the two men, Gu Yunru realized that they must be hiding something important. They had no grudges against Zhou Ping, so it must be for money.

"Have you two also been to the Gu Mansion?" Gu Yunru thought of what Zhang San had told him before. He originally went to the Gu Mansion to steal some gold and silver treasures, but suddenly heard the conversation between Xiuniang and another man. That man should be Zhou Ping, and these two people should have come later and were also planning to go to the Gu Mansion to steal some money.

"You...how do you know?..." The two men felt guilty and shifted their gaze to Gu Yunru's face at the same time.

"Don't ask me how I know. Just answer whatever I ask."

“Yes… yes.”

The man felt guilty and in order to avoid being tortured, he obediently explained the whole story.

"It was like this. On the evening of the 10th, my two brothers came out of the casino with no money on them. We were starving and cold. We were going to go to Gu's house to steal some silver when we heard a scream. We hid in a corner and didn't dare to make a sound. Later, we ran into Zhang San who was taking advantage of the situation. We were about to go up to him and threaten him when we were interrupted by the voices of a man and a woman. The woman was none other than Zhang San's wife, Xiuniang."

Having said this, the man seemed to be at a loss as to how to say next.

"What happened next? Tell me now!"

Gu Yunru asked in a stern voice.

"Yes... Later we saw Xiuniang and Zhou Ping hugging each other, and Zhang San stabbed Xiuniang to death in anger."

"Did you see Zhang San killing someone with your own eyes?" Gu Yunru asked in shock and uneasiness. Could it be that all the clues obtained before were deliberately misleading by Zhang San?

"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes. He even took the body back with a calm expression."

The man slowly recounted what he had seen that day.

However, Cheng Shaoyuan vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"So where was Zhou Ping at that time?"

"Zhou Ping? Forget about it. He's not a good guy either. After knowing that Xiuniang was killed by Zhang San, he threatened Zhang San to give him some money, otherwise he would tell everyone about it. Zhang San then gave the gold ring to Zhou Ping as hush money."

"The gold ring was given to Zhou Ping, so why did it appear in Xiuniang's hand later?" Gu Yunru had messed up the direction of the case because of the gold ring.

"I was planning to go to Zhang San's house to steal something when I accidentally stumbled upon it. I heard some noise at the door, so I put the gold ring on Xiuniang's finger."

It turned out that this group of people were still determined to extort some money from Zhang San, imitating Zhou Ping. They sneaked into his house and found Xiuniang hiding under the bed. They packed up their valuables and were about to leave when they heard a sound at the door.

In a moment of desperation, he put the gold ring on Xiuniang's hand, and naturally did not take those things out.

Gu Yunru was furious when she heard this. It turned out that all this was caused by these two guys.

"Then why did you kill Zhang San again?"

"Auntie, God has eyes. We have confessed all these things. It is true that we did not kill Zhang San. We are chasing Zhou Ping to force him to hand over the thousand-year-old amber jade. Because when Zhou Ping threatened Zhang San, he got this amber jade, which can be exchanged for a lot of money."

Cheng Shaoyuan's face darkened when he heard what the two had said. This amber jade is a treasure in the world. He didn't expect that Gu Yan actually had such a good thing.
