Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

Su Yao and her colleagues began a full-scale investigation into their father's former subordinates and friends. However, as the years passed, many had either passed away or disappeared, and the investigation progressed slowly, which frustrated Su Yao.

One day, Lin Yu brought a message: "Miss Su, I have found an old general who once worked with General Chu. He is now living in seclusion in a villa outside the city. Perhaps we can get some useful clues from him."

Su Yao's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Then let's hurry up and visit him."

They arrived at the old general's villa, where the old general was initially wary of their arrival. Su Yao said sincerely, "General, I am Chu Feng's daughter. My father has died unjustly, and I want to find out the truth and avenge him. I beg you to tell me what happened back then, even if it's just a clue."

The old general looked at Su Yao, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Are you really General Chu's daughter? Fine, fine, for General Chu's sake, I'll tell you a few things. Back then, after General Chu discovered the embezzlement of military rations, he revealed this to an imperial censor, hoping he could impeach the relevant personnel in court. But not long after, the imperial censor died mysteriously, and General Chu was also framed and imprisoned. I suspect that a powerful force is manipulating things behind the scenes, and they will stop at nothing to cover up their crimes."

Su Yao was startled: "General, do you know who that Imperial Censor is? Does he have any family members or confidants? Perhaps we can find more clues from them."

The old general shook his head: "I'm not too sure either, I only know that his surname is Shen. You can go to the Censorate to inquire, maybe you can find out something."

After thanking the old general, Su Yao and the others went to the Censorate. However, the officials of the Censorate mostly remained silent in response to their questions, as if they were afraid of something.

Princess Pingyang said somewhat angrily, "How can these people be like this? They clearly know that this matter is of great importance, yet they refuse to help."

Lin Yu comforted her, "Princess, don't worry. They dare not speak because they have been threatened by some forces. We need to find a way to make them believe us, or find another breakthrough."

After pondering for a moment, Su Yao said, "I heard that there is an old clerk in the Censorate who is an upright man and has been in the Censorate for many years. He may know something about what happened back then. We can try to start with him."

They found the old registrar, and Su Yao explained their purpose to him, assuring him that she would protect his safety. The old registrar hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "The Imperial Censor Shen was indeed killed for investigating a case of embezzlement of military rations. Before he died, he gave me a list of people he suspected of being involved in the embezzlement case, but I have never dared to show it to him for fear of retaliation."

As he spoke, the old registrar took out the list from a hidden place and handed it to Su Yao: "Miss, you must be careful. The people on this list are all extraordinary, and the forces behind them are deeply entrenched."

Su Yao took the list, which clearly listed the names of several court officials, including one of the emperor's close advisors.

Lin Yu said with a solemn expression, "Miss Su, this matter is more complicated than we imagined. These people have been by the Emperor's side for many years and have gained his deep trust. It will be quite difficult for us to expose them."

Su Yao's eyes were firm: "No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up. Let's investigate these people secretly first and see if we can find solid evidence. At the same time, we must be careful and not let them notice our actions."

During the investigation, Su Yao and her team discovered that these officials seemed to have intricate connections with a mysterious organization. This organization operated covertly both inside and outside the capital, manipulating numerous shady businesses; the military ration embezzlement case was merely the tip of the iceberg of their crimes.

Just as they were preparing to delve deeper into the investigation of this mysterious organization, they discovered they were being followed. One night, on their way back home, Su Yao and the others were suddenly attacked by a group of men in black.

Lin Yu quickly stepped in front of Su Yao: "Miss Su, be careful!"

Princess Pingyang also shouted, "These people must have been sent by that mysterious organization. We can't let them succeed."

A fierce battle ensued, and Su Yao and the others gradually became overwhelmed and found themselves in dire straits. At the critical moment, a sharp arrow shot out, striking a man in black in a vital spot; it turned out that a mysterious figure had come to their aid.

After repelling the men in black, the mysterious man said to Su Yao, "Your actions have been detected, and the days to come will be even more dangerous. To find out the truth, you need more help and a more thorough plan."

After saying that, the mysterious man disappeared into the night.

Su Yao and the others returned to their residence, their hearts filled with questions: Who was this mysterious man? Why was he helping them? And what secrets did that mysterious organization hold? They knew the road ahead would be even more difficult, but they would not back down. They were determined to uncover the truth and seek justice for their father and those who had died unjustly…
