What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

In less than a day, the news of the Anping Marquis's family being wiped out spread like wildfire.

"Have you heard? The Marquis of Anping's family was wiped out! There's blood everywhere, and even last night's heavy rain couldn't wash it away."

"I heard about it, I heard about it. Wasn't the Marquis's mansion heavily guarded, and the Emperor even sent his personal guards to patrol the streets every day? How could it be wiped out so easily?"

"Sigh, it's all because of that moon map. Marquis Anping is the same; instead of quietly hiding his treasures, he flaunts them everywhere, which is why others have their eyes on them."

"You can steal a picture, but you can't just kill someone because of a picture."

"However, who exactly destroyed the Marquis of Anding's mansion?"

"We don't know exactly who did it. But the tragic scene at the Marquis of Anding's residence, tsk tsk, it certainly couldn't have been done by one person. It might have been a group crime."

The martial arts world and the imperial court were abuzz with discussion. Just as everyone was speculating about who the murderer was, the grievance drum in the imperial city was sounded.

The grievance drum in the imperial city was not something that could be sounded casually. Unless you had an extremely serious injustice, and if you needed the emperor to retry your case, the person who struck the drum had to first endure twenty strokes of the cane to prove their determination to be wronged.

The person who was beating the drum was someone connected to the Marquis of Anping's mansion. She was a young lady born out of wedlock from a branch of the Marquis's family. That night, she stayed at the home of a female friend she was close to, and because of the heavy rain, she did not return home all night, thus escaping the disaster.

A crowd of onlookers gathered around the grievance drum. Looking at the frail girl in front of the drum, who could barely stand, they suddenly felt sorry for her. Her whole family had been gone just like that.

Feng Ting and several of Yu Zechuan's guards mingled in the crowd.

Hearing the girl's "nonsense" from not far away, Feng Ting clenched his fists, wishing he could rush forward and confront her.

Yu Zechuan's guard captain, Yu Bai, kept a close eye on Feng Ting's every word and action, fearing that he might impulsively expose his identity. After exchanging a few words with the other guards, he decisively dragged Feng Ting back to the mansion.

"Feng Ting, calm down first. Let's go back and report this matter so that our masters can discuss it and prepare a response."

Feng Ting, hearing Yu Bai's advice, knew that the matter was of great importance, so he could only stare intently at the woman in front of the drum before being dragged away by Yu Bai.

The woman was completely unaffected by the onlookers around her. She continued to knock and shout repeatedly, her hoarse voice echoing in the air, her gaze still vacant.

"The murderers who wiped out the Marquis of Anping's family are the evil Jianghu cult Weiyang Palace. I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for me and for the hundreds of my family members who died!"

Just as Emperor Jingrun of the Great Qi Dynasty was struggling to find a solution to the massacre of the Marquis of Anping's family, he heard a palace servant come to report on the matter.

If I feel really sleepy, someone will hand me a pillow.

He immediately summoned the girl who dared to beat the drum and appeal for justice in front of all the civil and military officials.

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of the grievance drum, upon seeing the imperial guard sent by the emperor to deliver the decree, did not accept the decree and followed him into the imperial city.

Instead, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she stopped what she was doing, turned her head slightly stiffly, and looked at the guard.

The leading guard looked at the woman before him, her face pale, her eyes vacant, and the bloodstains on the hem of her skirt. He softened and repeated the decree.

"Miss Wang, the Emperor has decreed that you be summoned to the palace. Once inside, you can speak directly with the Emperor about anything, and he will make decisions for you."

Miss Wang remained rooted to the spot, her head tilted slightly to one side as if trying to understand the meaning of these words. Then, she slowly took a token off her person and handed it over.

“I found this in the courtyard… inside the gate when I rushed home this morning. Before this, someone from Weiyang Palace, none other than the Palace Master Xuan Yi, had come to my house. He tried to steal the Haiyan Yueming Map, but luckily he didn’t succeed. No, he was caught. His Highness the Prince of Chu caught him. He didn’t get the map, but it was still there. However, it’s gone today. He killed my family. He deserves to die.”

Miss Wang still seemed unable to accept the massacre of her family; her words were fragmented and even somewhat incoherent.

Although the guards struggled to understand, they roughly grasped the meaning, but their understanding was ultimately useless.

The lead guard reached out and took the token, then waved his hand, and the two guards behind him quickly walked towards Miss Wang, intending to forcibly bring her into the main hall.

Miss Wang watched the two approaching figures without moving. A mocking smile appeared on her pale face. "Why don't you arrest the people from Weiyang Palace? Why don't you arrest Xuan Yi?"

"I am innocent! My family was murdered! Why are you arresting me instead?"

"However, since you don't want me to live, then come to hell with me..."

Seeing Miss Wang's somewhat deranged state and hearing her muttering to herself, the two guards exchanged a puzzled look. One of them stopped and explained, "Miss Wang, we don't want to arrest you, it's just..."

Unfortunately, Miss Wang didn't give him a chance to explain. She lunged at the guard closest to her, her pretty face contorted with rage.

The moment they touched the guard, with a loud "boom," the two were instantly blasted into two clouds of blood mist.

Faced with such a horrifying and bizarre scene, the onlookers screamed and hurriedly moved away from the scene, scrambling and tumbling as they ran backward, turning the whole place into chaos.

The guards mixed in with the crowd were also shocked, but they couldn't stay put any longer, so they had to run away with the people.

Although the two guards on the platform survived, they were too close and were covered in blood from Miss Wang's self-destruction. They were so terrified that they stood motionless, their faces pale.

In the end, the guards at the city gate, despite their nausea, helped the two men down from the mangled drum and escorted them back into the imperial city.

Emperor Jingrun waited for a long time, only to be met with two terrified "wooden figures." He was furious and almost sent them to be buried with Miss Wang.

It was only thanks to the intervention of the Crown Prince, Prince Ning, that these two unfortunate people were saved.

After hearing a brief introduction from the city's guards, Emperor Jingrun calmed down.

The clue that was finally found was mysteriously destroyed, which is very strange.

Duan Chenke listened to the various opinions expressed in the court, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, it is true that the Palace Master of Weiyang Palace, Xuan Yi, infiltrated the Marquis of Anping's residence a few days ago and was captured by me. However, Xuan Yi is still imprisoned in the dungeon of my residence. How could he have gone to the Marquis of Anping's residence to indiscriminately kill innocent people?"

The Vice Minister of War, who usually had a good relationship with the Marquis of Anping's household, sneered and retorted loudly:

“Xuan Yi’s imprisonment does not mean that the entire Weiyang Palace is imprisoned. I have long heard that Weiyang Palace is an anomaly in the martial arts world. Now that their palace master has been arrested, these people are harboring resentment and have committed murder.”

Duan Chenke seemed to have heard a huge joke and said with some disdain, "Although Weiyang Palace is not a proper sect, it is still very disciplined. How can we act without orders? I'm afraid the Vice Minister of War thinks that everyone is like your unruly subordinates, who act rashly when provoked."

"What does the King of Chu mean by this? Do you intend to protect the Weiyang Palace?"

"I was just stating the facts and I've already been accused of protecting someone. It seems I'd better say less, lest I end up destroying the Marquis of Anping's mansion if I keep talking."

"you…"

"Alright, the matter concerning the Marquis of Anping's residence is of great importance. My beloved ministers, you must calm down as soon as possible, find relevant clues, and apprehend the real culprit, so that the Marquis of Anping can rest in peace in the afterlife," Emperor Jingrun frowned as he saw the court about to descend into chaos again, and spoke up to remind them.

He took in the expressions of all the officials in the hall, and finally fixed his gaze on Prince Ning, who had been standing quietly in front of him.

"In order to investigate this matter as soon as possible and bring justice to Marquis Anping, Prince Ning, I entrust this matter to you. The Dali Temple will assist you throughout the process to apprehend the real culprit as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey the decree." The Crown Prince Ning had not expected that the Emperor would entrust him with such a thorny task, so he could only bow his head and say.

The Vice Minister of War listened to the Emperor's arrangement but dared not raise any objections. He could only glare fiercely at the Prince of Chu and the Prince of Ning, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

----------------

The first thing the guards sent by Yu Zechuan to gather information did upon returning to the mansion was to tell Yu Zechuan and the others everything they had seen.

Although Feng Ting had already recounted the events after returning home, no one expected that Miss Wang would actually reveal it herself.

Shen Mujin sat next to Xuan Yi, holding one of his hands tightly, looking at him with some worry.

Xuan Yi was also quite helpless. He was just sitting at home when trouble came knocking on his door. Last night, he was happily eating hot pot with Shen Mujin and the others in the dining room. He had no time to kill anyone!

Gu Yan patted Xuan Yi's shoulder for the first time ever, and said with great sympathy, "Xuan Yi, I understand how you feel. Last time, I was also targeted for no reason."

Xuan Yi raised an eyebrow. "The one where you almost died at Kunlun Ruins?"

Although Gu Yan was reluctant to admit it, Xuan Yi was right.

"Yes, so be careful, don't end up like I did."

Yu Zechuan placed one hand on the table and tapped it silently, as if he was thinking about something.

"The problem now is, why did that girl specifically point the finger at you as the murderer? It seems a bit far-fetched to confirm it based on just a token."

“Ah Yu, that’s a good question. Besides, young ladies are usually kept deep inside their homes, so how could they recognize the token as belonging to Weiyang Palace at a glance?” Su Huaiqi, whose brain was back online, also noticed a suspicious point.

Shen Mujin nodded in agreement and turned to confirm, "Xuanyi, do you still have your token?"

Xuan Yi directly ripped the token from his waist and threw it onto the center of the table.

"My token has been with me the whole time. Who knows what that girl actually picked up?"

"Feng Ting, where is your token? You went there with Xuan Yi, so your token is still with you." Gu Yan turned to look at another person from Weiyang Palace who had set foot in Anping Marquis's residence.

“My token is also on me,” Feng Ting quickly held up his token to prove it.

"Now that you two are here, there's even more to say. That girl's use of a fake token is a frame-up!" Gu Yan clapped his hands excitedly, not expecting the matter to be resolved so quickly.

"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as Miss Bai imagines." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Gu Yan turned his head and saw Chu King Duan Chenke and Zhou Yuran walking in, led by guards.

"Your Highness."

"Moon Girl".

After everyone greeted each other, Xuan Yi took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness, you seem to know something from what you just said."

Duan Chenke didn't beat around the bush and directly stated what he had discovered in the court.

“I have examined the token that the girl gave to the guard, and it is indeed a token from Weiyang Palace. However, the token looks somewhat old, and there are some tears on the edges.”

Xuan Yi frowned, pondering Duan Chenke's discovery. "Feng Ting, contact Fu Xue and immediately check whether everyone in Weiyang Palace has their tokens, especially whether the tokens placed in the Heroic Spirit Cave are complete."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After accepting the order, Feng Ting immediately left the courtyard.

Yu Zechuan looked at Duan Chenke sitting to the side. Since the King of Chu was able to inform me of the affairs of the court at the first opportunity, he must be on their side.

"Your Highness, what is the court's attitude towards the matter of the Marquis of Anping's residence?"

"Most of the officials who are on good terms with Marquis Anping believe that Weiyang Palace was responsible, while some are remaining neutral and the truth is still unknown. The Emperor has sent my elder brother to investigate this matter. My elder brother is the most fair and just person, which is advantageous to us."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zechuan's expression turned slightly strange, but given the urgency of the situation, he couldn't worry about anything else and could only ask, "The Weiyang Palace received the mission to find the Haiyan Yueming Map from Prince Ning. If this matter is used by someone with ulterior motives, it may also affect Prince Ning."

Duan Chenke nodded, looking directly at Xuan Yi. "Palace Master Xuan, this matter arose because of me. If I hadn't orchestrated your capture, you wouldn't have suffered this injustice. I will do my utmost to help you clear Weiyang Palace's name."

After Yu Zechuan learned about Duan Chenke's actions, he returned and told Xuan Yi everything.

After all, Xuan Yi was about to vent his anger on Duan Chenke, so he had no choice but to quickly tell the truth to quell Xuan Yi's anger.

Xuan Yi never expected that His Highness the King of Chu would take the initiative to admit everything and even expressed his willingness to do his best to help clear Weiyang Palace of its grievances.

Xuan Yi remained silent for a moment, then looked deeply at Duan Chenke, a complex emotion welling up inside him. Although he was initially annoyed with Duan Chenke, Duan Chenke's current behavior touched Xuan Yi.

"Your Highness is too kind. Although the whole matter seems to be aimed at Weiyang Palace, upon closer examination, it is more like a struggle between the court and the martial arts world. It is especially evident that the person behind this has played a very big game."

Gu Yan, who was sitting to the side listening to everyone's analysis, was completely overwhelmed.

She really couldn't understand these people's scheming against each other. Why can't we be prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and have a good relationship with everyone?

But now, there's an even more troublesome problem for her.
