Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Lin Fan asked, "Since you have nothing to hide, why did you suddenly attack Lu Xiaofeng, and after failing, you immediately wanted to escape?"

Jiang Qingxia said calmly, "Even if you're from the Imperial Guards, you still need evidence to arrest someone, right? I just don't want to be with you. Since you won't leave, I have no choice but to leave."

Jiang Zhongwei also pleaded at this time: "Master Lin, please have mercy and let Qingxia go."

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, take me to find Gongsun Da Niang, the leader of the Red Shoes."

"Auntie Gongsun?" Lu Xiaofeng and Jiang Zhongwei were both slightly stunned when they heard this. It was the first time they heard this name.

Xue Bing and Jiang Qingxia both had fluctuating expressions, but Xue Bing's expression was very subtle.

"Yes, according to the information I received, the Red Shoes are a gang made up of a group of women, and their leader is called Gongsun Da Niang. As for her real name, no one knows it."

As he spoke, Lin Fan glanced briefly in Xue Bing's direction.

Jiang Qingxia said, "I didn't expect the Jinyiwei to be so well-informed. However, I don't know where Madam Gongsun is either."

"If there's anything going on in the organization, it's always Big Sister who contacts us. Besides, the palace robbery wasn't done by us, Red Shoes."

Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "There's a black street in the capital. There's a snake king in that black street. His men are spread all over the capital, even in the palaces of princes and ministers."

"Perhaps, we can go to the Snake King and ask about the Red Shoes Organization and the news about Madam Gongsun."

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Hero Lu, for the information. Let's go meet the Snake King together."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "The Snake King is a commoner, and Lord Lin is the commander of the Jinyiwei. One side is a bandit, and the other side is an official. I'm afraid he won't dare to see you. Why don't I go and scout the way first?"

Lin Fan raised his brows slightly and said, "Alright, I hope Master Lu won't disappoint me."

"I have some friendship with the Snake King. If he knows the news about Red Shoes and Madam Gongsun, he will not hide it from me." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and continued,

"However, I want to go to the Pingnan Palace where the crime occurred to investigate. I wonder if Lord Lin can help with this?"

In the original novel, Lu Xiaofeng found the Snake King, got a map of Prince Pingnan's Palace, and then sneaked in under the cover of night.

Now, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to save himself some trouble. After all, it was still somewhat dangerous to break into the palace without permission.

"Okay, should we go to the palace first, or find the Snake King first?" Lin Fan said after pondering for a moment.

I have to say that when it comes to investigating cases, Lu Xiaofeng is the professional.

Although they failed to find any clues in Prince Pingnan's Mansion, Lu Xiaofeng might be able to find some.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "If possible, let's go to the palace first. I want to see if we can find any useful clues. Then, even if we arrest Madam Gongsun, we will leave her speechless."

"Let's go," Lin Fan nodded slightly and said casually.

Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Lin, why don't we release Miss Jiang first? After all, there is no evidence to show that she has any problems."

"The most important thing is that the skills she displayed are far inferior to those of the Embroidered Thief."

"Hmph," Jiang Qingxia snorted in dissatisfaction when she heard Lu Xiaofeng's words.

However, thinking that Lu Xiaofeng was speaking for her, she didn't say anything.

"Let's go," Lin Fan let go of Jiang Qingxia and said calmly.

Lin Fan knew in his heart that Jiang Qingxia was actually the fourth in command of the Red Shoes Organization and had actually done some illegal things in the underworld.

However, as the saying goes, if the people don’t report, the officials won’t investigate, so Lin Fan was too lazy to care.

As for the case of the embroidery thief, it has nothing to do with him.

Lin Fan originally thought of directly exposing the fact that Xue Bing was Gongsun Da Niang through Jiang Qingxia, but he didn't expect that she didn't even know Gongsun Da Niang's true identity, so there was no point in keeping her.

"Thank you, Master Lin!"

Jiang Chongwei heard the noise and quickly thanked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, "As Miss Jiang said, we currently have no evidence to prove her guilt. However, I hope that no evidence will fall into the hands of the Jinyiwei in the future. Farewell."

After saying that, Lin Fan turned around and walked out of Qixia Temple.

Lu Xiaofeng clasped his fists to Jiang Chongwei and Jiang Qingxia, then turned around and left with Lin Fan.

As for Xue Bing, he still looked as if nothing had happened and followed Lu Xiaofeng.

Next, Lin Fan took Lu Xiaofeng to visit Prince Pingnan's Mansion again. Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything after seeing it.

After leaving the palace, Lin Fan casually asked, "Did you find anything?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That embroidered thief isn't as amazing as we imagined. He must have been put into a treasure chest and entered..."

Lu Xiaofeng briefly explained how half of the treasures in the two boxes were freed up.

"In other words, someone was cooperating with the Embroidery Thief at that time?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"That's right. According to the clues we got earlier, someone suddenly screamed that there was an assassin that day, so Jiang Zhongwei led his men away from the treasury, and then the Embroidery Thief appeared in the treasury."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Master Lu is indeed as smart as the rumors say. How about joining our Jinyiwei?"

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for thinking highly of me. However, I, Lu Xiaofeng, am used to wandering around the martial arts world. The Jinyiwei is really not suitable for me." Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly and politely declined Lin Fan's proposal.

Lin Fan had only said it casually, and didn't really care. He said, "That's a shame. Okay, let's solve the case of the Embroidery Thief first."

Lu Xiaofeng clasped his fists and said, "I'll go find the Snake King right away. Lord Lin, goodbye."

"Please do as you wish, Mr. Lu," Lin Fan nodded slightly and had no objection to this.

"Sir, do you want to send someone to follow them?" After Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing left, Zhou Meng asked Lin Fan in a low voice.

"No need, Lu Xiaofeng is not someone that ordinary people can follow," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

"Since someone is helping us solve the case and saving us the trouble, why should we cause trouble ourselves? Let's go, we can't be too idle."

After saying that, Lin Fan took Zhou Meng and others out of the Pingnan Palace, and then asked Zhou Meng to take people to search for news about the Embroidery Thief.

As for Lin Fan himself, after a little thought, he decided to go to the black street to join in the fun.

"Master Lin!"

Lin Fan had just said goodbye to Zhou Meng and the others when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"You guys? So, have you found any clues about the Embroidery Thief?"

Lin Fan turned around and saw the figure behind him. He couldn't help but smile and asked casually.
