"Okay, stop joking and get down to business. Have you found the person I asked you to find?" Tang Yinyu suddenly put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice with a majestic tone.

Hearing this, Tang Feng immediately became serious, nodded and said, "Found it."

"Where are the people?" Tang Yinyu asked.

"Outside." Tang Feng replied.

Tang Yinyu said: "Let him come in."

"Yes." Tang Feng responded and walked out.

Looking at Tang Feng's back, Chu Yuqin asked curiously, "Who is the emperor looking for?"

Tang Yinyu glanced at her and said, "You'll know soon."

After hearing this, Chu Yuqin smiled.

And it's kept so mysterious.

Soon Tang Feng led an old woman in.

The old woman had white hair and beard, wore a tall hat, was short and fat, and had a hunched body.

The old woman looked to be at least fifty years old, with wrinkles all over her face, sagging skin, and gray hair, making her look like she was in her seventies. She was wearing an old gray cloth shirt and her steps were unsteady, obviously she had a leg disease.

"Your Majesty, this is the wife of Wang Laosan, the jailer who was in charge of Minister Chu." Tang Feng introduced solemnly.

Wang Laosan’s wife!

When Chu Yuqin heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

At the beginning, her father, Minister Chu, was wrongly imprisoned and "committed suicide out of fear of punishment". The jailer who was guarding him at that time was Wang Laosan!

Not long after Minister Chu passed away, Wang Laosan also fell seriously ill and died suddenly.

I'm afraid someone might have killed him to silence him!

"Greetings, Your Majesty." After hearing Tang Feng introduce herself, Wang Liu hurriedly knelt down respectfully.

"Get up." Tang Yinyu waved his hand calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Liu stood up.

"Madam Wang, do you know Minister Chu?" Chu Yuqin asked, holding back her grief and trying to remain calm.

Wang Liu nodded and said, "Yes, I know him. I heard my husband mention him before."

Chu Yuqin asked, "Are you sure it's the Minister Chu your husband was talking about?"

Wang Liu nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it was indeed him. My husband said at the beginning... someone wanted him to secretly deal with Minister Chu..."

Chu Yuqin clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh and blood seeping out, but she was completely unaware.

She knew that her father was wronged!

Now there is conclusive evidence that my father was indeed murdered!

She wants justice for her father!

"Sister-in-law, calm down!" Tang Feng pulled Chu Yuqin's clothes and reminded her in a low voice.

Chu Yuqin took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress her anger.

She couldn't lose her composure because she had more important things to do right now.

"Who is the person who bribed him?" Chu Yuqin continued to question.

Wang Liu shook her head and said, "I don't know. He didn't tell me. He only told me that if he was caught one day, he hoped that I would find a way to rescue him. I believed him and did what he said, but I didn't expect that I would end up killing him!"

Her eyes became moist and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her crying, Chu Yuqin felt very sad, but she had to persevere no matter how sad she was.

At this moment, she must be rational and not let her emotions get the better of her.

After a while, she calmed down her excitement and said again: "Since that person bribed your old man, he would definitely bribe other people. Think carefully about who he had contact with before he died. Is there anything suspicious?"

Wang Liu recalled for a moment and said, "Yes, I remember my husband played cards with two other people. The three of them often made appointments to gamble, and each won and lost half. My husband suddenly became rich at that time and had a large sum of money. I remember that day, my husband lost all the money and gave the remaining banknotes to them. I asked my husband, and he said that the two men had caught him with something, so he had to give them the money. Since then, I have rarely seen them."

"What are their names?" Chu Yuqin asked anxiously.

Wang Liu said: "They are Li Laosi and Zhang Laoliu."

"Li Laosi and Zhang Laoliu?" Hearing this name, a thought flashed through Tang Feng's mind like a spark of lightning, and he suddenly realized something.

"Are they all from the same group? Li Laosi and Zhang Laoliu knew that your husband was bribed to kill Minister Chu, so they threatened him?" he asked in surprise.

Wang Liu nodded and said, "Yes, it was them, but they did not admit to killing Minister Chu. Instead, it was my husband who admitted it himself. Your Majesty, I am really blind. I actually helped the culprit to kill a good minister. Please punish me!"

She fell to her knees and kowtowed.

Tang Yinyu asked in a deep voice: "Besides your husband, do you have any other clues? Or do you know where they are?"

Wang Liu shook her head and said, "No more, that's all I know."

Tang Feng sighed and said, "It's obvious now. They are hiding in a corner of the capital, and it is very likely that they have already escaped."

Chu Yuqin gnashed her teeth and said, "Those bastards are so shameless! How dare they murder my father? I will never forgive them!"

She was furious.

Tang Feng comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry yet. The matter has not been fully investigated yet, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught yet. But don't worry, I will continue to track him down."

Chu Yuqin said: "I believe you will find out those evil thieves!"

"Your Majesty, although Minister Chu was murdered, the mastermind is still at large. I implore you to hunt down Li Laosi and Zhang Laoliu, find out who is behind this, bring him to justice!" Tang Feng said confidently.

Chu Yuqin echoed, "Your Majesty, since those evil thieves killed the entire Chu family, they must pay with blood!"

Chu Yinyu said, "Don't worry, I will order Lord Zhao, the commander of the Imperial Guards, to mobilize the Jingji Guards to search for them. As long as they are caught, I will personally chop off their heads and offer them as a sacrifice to Minister Chu!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Chu Yuqin said gratefully.

"Tang Feng, take Wang Liu downstairs, settle her down, and then treat her well." Tang Yinyu ordered.

"Yes, I will obey your command." Tang Feng nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Tang Feng took Wang Liu away from the imperial study.

When he walked out the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was some hope.

However, things are far from over, because the culprit is still lurking in the capital, waiting for an opportunity to rebel. They still need to work hard to wipe them out as soon as possible.

Later, Tang Feng arranged Wang Liu to live in a secluded house.

This house is very close to the Imperial Street and its surroundings are very remote, so it is not easy to attract attention.

After giving a few instructions, Tang Feng left without staying any longer.
