Leaning against the door, quietly listening to the sounds coming from outside the door, the shouts came one after another like waves, covering one layer after another.

Amidst such shouts, Su Mufeng slowly closed his eyes, and his thoughts became clearer.

This cry was like a thread, connecting all the scattered information together.

And under this series of connections, it confirmed Su Mufeng's previous guess.

Finally, Su Mufeng took a deep breath, then stood up from the ground, walked to the bed in the room and lay down.

After thinking about many things, Su Mufeng felt particularly relaxed, and those shouts became like a lullaby, and soon Su Mufeng fell into a sweet dream.

Early the next morning, while Su Mufeng was still sleeping, she heard a rapid knock on the door.

Su Mufeng stood up and opened the door and took a look, feeling very surprised.

Because the person standing outside the door was none other than Song Yue.

"Have you found the old man? Are you back so soon?" Su Mufeng said in surprise.

"Replying to the young master, I have already met with the prince and reported your wishes to the prince." Song Yue nodded: "The prince is worried that you are in urgent need of people here, so he asked me to come back to cooperate with the prince's work."

"That's it." Su Mufeng stretched out: "I'm not in urgent need of people here now, but it doesn't matter if you come back, our cooperation will be easier after all."

"Yes." Song Yue nodded, then looked around and said coldly: "But during this extraordinary period, the young master is resting in the room, why is there no one guarding the door? Where are the city guards who are arranged to guard here? Got it!"

"Plop!" As if they heard Song Yue's voice, a disheveled city guard ran out of the surrounding room. Their faces were pale and they hurriedly stood aside, not daring to say a word.

"You, you guys!" Seeing this scene, Song Yue instantly understood what they were doing and became furious: "Unexpectedly..."

"Oh, General Song, I arranged for them to do that." At this moment, Su Mufeng suddenly said: "I have some ideas that need to be put into practice, so I arranged for brothers to help."

"Help?" Song Yue was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Mufeng with some confusion: "Master, what are you..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Su Mufeng changed the topic and whispered: "General Song, are you ready for what I told you before?"

"Yes." Song Yue nodded: "According to the prince's instructions, I asked the prince for instructions. When I came back last night, I deployed 300 strong crossbowmen around the Beizhu King's Mansion. Not to mention the Jinluan Guards, even an ant Don’t even think about the grasshoppers flying out.”

"Well, very good." Su Mufeng nodded.

"Also, Young Master." Song Yue continued: "Yesterday you arranged to find the person who had a quarrel with Jin Luanwei. We have also found him. He is the rogue Niu Er from Dongcheng."

"Rogue?" Su Mufeng narrowed his eyes: "Where is he now?"

"It's a coincidence." Song Yue said solemnly: "At that time, after Niu Er had a conflict with the Jinluan Guards, he was arrested by the city guards for stealing and is now being held in a prison."

"What?" Su Mufeng frowned: "Is it such a coincidence?"

"Indeed." Song Yue nodded: "I also thought it was such a coincidence, so I asked people to continue the investigation and see if Niu Er has any accomplices, but there is no news in this regard yet. "

"It's not urgent." Su Mufeng lowered his head and said in a deep voice, and then said: "Where is the person who secretly follows Jin Luanwei?"

"There is no news." Song Yue replied: "There are too many people on the New Clothes Festival Street. There are many people who are in a hurry, look strange and even sneaky. It would be better to say who has had an entanglement with whom. It’s easy to investigate, but if we find someone who secretly follows Jin Luanwei..."

"I knew it." Su Mufeng sighed: "I can't hold out much hope."

"One more thing, young master." Song Yue continued.

"Huh?" Su Mufeng looked at Song Yue with some confusion: "What's the matter?"

"This," Song Yue looked at the city guards on the left and right. The city guards understood instantly and hurried back to the room. After just a few seconds, they left this floor with a woman.

"Reporting to the young master, the prince has returned to Handu City..." Song Yue whispered after there was no one else in the corridor.

"Oh, come back as soon as you come back..." Su Mufeng was about to speak, but then he looked stunned: "Wait, what did you say? The old man is back?"

"Well, you came back with me last night." Song Yue nodded.

"I, you... General Song, I asked you to stop the old man, not to invite him back!" Su Mufeng gritted his teeth.

"After I relayed your message to the prince, he didn't listen, and his subordinates didn't dare to stop me..." Song Yue whispered.

"That's all, that's all. Where is he? Has he returned to the palace?" Su Mufeng said in a deep voice.

"That's not true." Song Yue shook his head: "The prince said that he didn't know your plans, sir, and was afraid that returning to the prince's palace would ruin your plans, so he is temporarily staying at the Fushun Inn in the south of the city."

"That's not bad." Su Mufeng heard this and nodded: "Does anyone else know about the old man's return?"

"No one else knows." Song Yue shook his head: "The prince came back with me disguised as a city guard, so not even the soldiers guarding the city knew."

"That's even better." Su Mufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "General Song, you should immediately investigate the man named Niu Er and see what happened between him and Jin Luanwei? I'll go find the old man now. Let him leave Handu City as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's what the prince means." Song Yue nodded: "Sir, the prince is currently staying in Room 1 of the Fushun Inn."

"I understand." Su Mufeng nodded, then put on his clothes and walked outside Chunman Building.

Fushun Inn is a bit far away from Chunman Building. When Su Mufeng arrived near Fushun Inn, less than half an hour had passed.

Just when they were approaching Fushun Inn, Su Mufeng stopped the carriage and walked towards Fushun Inn.

After entering the Fushun Inn, Su Mufeng didn't waste any time talking to the shopkeeper and the waiter, and walked straight to Room No. 1.

"Dang Dang Dang!" Su Mufeng knocked on the door lightly and walked in without waiting for a reply from the person inside.

At this moment, a burly man was standing in Room No. 1, and even the clothes of a city guard could not conceal his majestic aura.

"Old man." Su Mufeng looked at the familiar figure and closed the door behind him.

"Whether you want to rejuvenate and spend a lot of money in the Linlang Pavilion, or spend a lot of money in Linlang Pavilion, immediately put down all your current investigations." The burly man did not turn around, and his deep voice was filled with undeniable power: "I'll leave the rest to you. I."

"I'm sorry." Su Mufeng walked straight to the table in the room, poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip: "I'm sorry, but I must obey..."
