That afternoon, the two finally found a fairly good house for the sisters in the south of the city. The house was in a courtyard and was home to about five or six families.

After a personal inspection, the two felt that the people in this courtyard were simple and honest, and the neighbors loved each other, so they signed the contract on the spot.

With the contract, the two went to see King Yong again.

As soon as they entered the south gate of Prince Yong's mansion, they asked the gatekeeper:

"Where is the prince?"

"Miss, the prince should be in the study right now."

The servant bowed respectfully to Tang Yu and the others and replied.

"I understand, go and do your work."

As they spoke, the two of them walked towards the study room, where Qi Feng and Qi Yun were guarding the door.

"Miss, Boss Yu!"

Feng Yun and the other man bowed to the two men, crossed their swords, and made a gesture to block the door: "The prince is discussing important matters. He specifically instructed that if it is not important, you must not disturb him."

"Please forgive my rudeness!"

The two men crossed their swords, neither willing to give in even a step.

"Can you tell me who is talking to the prince inside?"

Tang Yiran asked in a nice voice.

"Miss, the prince specifically instructed that nothing should be revealed to the outside world. I have nothing to say!"

Yu Qinghong looked at the two rigid and dogmatic people, feeling helpless, but smiling, he said:

"We have an urgent matter, a very urgent matter. Please help us ask for instructions."

"Oh, by the way, show this to the prince."

As he spoke, Yu Qinghong handed the feather arrow to Qi Feng. Qi Feng looked at the feather arrow suspiciously. After a moment, as if he had made a decision, his tone became firm: "Okay, then I'll go in and ask for instructions. You two wait a moment."

After saying that, Qi Feng pushed the door open and went in, while Qi Yun continued to loyally stop the two of them.

Arriving at the door of the inner room of the study, "Knock, knock, knock!" Qi Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, the young lady and Boss Yu want to see you."

The muffled voice from inside the door suddenly stopped.

The voice of King Yong came:

"Tell them to wait for a moment. Let someone take them to the side to rest. I'll be there as soon as I finish my work here."

Qi Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Yu said it was urgent and he brought something for you to see."

Upon hearing this, King Yong looked at the man, stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and casually took the feather arrow from Qi Feng's hand.

He looked at the feather arrow carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Invite them in."

Qi Feng looked at the changes in Prince Yong's expression and was puzzled for a moment. What was so special about this arrow that could make the prince change his mind?

However, the situation did not allow him to think about it, so he responded and hurried to the door, saying to Qi Yun: "Open the door."

Then he bowed to Tang Yu and the other two and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, please come in!"

As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation.

Since the prince had spoken, there was no reason for Qi Yun to refuse to let them go, so he respectfully watched the two of them enter the study.

When the two men entered the inner room, they found the door was open. Tang and Yu took a look and found that, as they had expected, the person who was talking to King Yong was none other than Qu Liang, the prefect.

"Godfather, Master Qu!"

Tang and Yu bowed to Prince Yong and Qu Liang who were talking.

"Hurry! My good daughter and son-in-law, sit down! Sit down!"

When King Yong saw the two men coming in, he put on a smile and quickly arranged them to sit at the table.

When Qu Liang heard the title of King Yong, countless question marks flashed through his mind, but he finally held back.

He did not look away, but secretly observed the two of them with his peripheral vision, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for them.

Looking at the two identical feather arrows in Prince Yong's hand, Tang Yiran took a sip of tea, looked at Qu Liang and asked, "Presumably... Lord Qu is also here for the murder case in the north of the city?"

Qu Liang was startled when he heard this, then he looked at the two feather arrows and suddenly realized something. He nodded heavily: "That's right!"

King Yong put down the arrow in his hand, looked at the two men and asked:

"I heard you have a clue?"

Yu Qinghong bowed and said, "That's right!"

Qu Liang looked at the two of them in confusion. He didn't understand at all. He was an official and investigating cases was his job. What were these two people trying to do?

"Why are you interested in investigating the murder case in the north of the city? You have to know... you are not obligated to investigate the case."

Qu Liang said in a deep voice. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the other three still heard doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone.

Dare to doubt his daughter in front of King Yong? He was the first to be unhappy. King Yong frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. He pointed at Qu Liang and shouted:

"You can't solve this case, and you don't allow others to provide clues? You suspect both of them. What? Won't you suspect me tomorrow?"

Seeing that Prince Yong was angry, Qu Liang immediately knelt down in panic and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty did not mean that. Your Majesty just felt that it was a little strange."

Tang Yiran shook his head at Prince Yong, "Foster father, it's no wonder that Lord Qu has doubts. He is investigating a case, so it's normal for him to make bold assumptions and have reasonable suspicions."

"Even if I doubt you, godfather, it's not impossible."

Tang Yiran added.

Prince Yong shook his head helplessly when he heard this. He loved his own daughter, so he helped Qu Liang up and said calmly, "I'm sorry, Governor Qu."

Qu Liang looked at Prince Yong in fear, and then looked at Tang Yiran with gratitude.

“It’s not that we are interested…”

Yu Qinghong, who was sitting nearby, had a sad look in his eyes. It was hard for him not to be moved when he thought of those innocent people who died at the hands of wolves.

Tang Yiran took over Yu Qinghong's words, her voice trembling uncontrollably:

"Because we were at the scene at that time, we were the eyewitnesses of that murder! We know how tragic the scene was, so we can't just stand by and watch. We have to find out the mastermind behind it and make him pay for it!"

The more Tang Yiran spoke, the angrier he felt. He couldn't imagine that someone would disregard the lives of so many civilians!

Whose life is not life? They did nothing wrong, but they lost their lives!

Tang Yiran clenched his fists and said angrily:

"Foster father, there are more than 20 wolves surrounding us, and we have no way to escape. If it weren't for Brother Qinghong, I would have lost my life in the north of the city and would not be able to come back."

Prince Yong's face darkened. He pounded the table heavily and stood up quickly.

"It's totally inhumane! Who is he? Why is he so cruel? If I knew, I would never spare his life!"

"Tell Lord Qu your clues quickly so that he can help him solve the case." Prince Yong pointed at Qu Liang.

Tang Yiran carefully took out the jade token from his bosom and said, "Foster father, this is exactly where Brother Qinghong found it, where the mastermind behind the scene stayed. Please have a look, foster father."

Prince Yong took the jade amulet and turned it over and over to look at it for a while. "This man is wearing a Buddha amulet, but he has no mercy at all and takes human life so casually. It's obviously fake mercy."

Qu Liang looked at the jade tablet from a distance and asked, "Can you let me take a look?"

Prince Yong handed the jade token to Qu Liang and said, "Here, take a look!"

Qu Liang took it, took a look at the Buddha statue and said in surprise: "This... this Buddha statue..."

Prince Yong said calmly, "What's the difference between this Buddha statue and ordinary Buddha statues?"
