Tang Zhongbai was stunned for a moment, and looked around for the two people. At the corner of the house in front of him, two slender figures flashed and went into the alley. He knew that the two people must have discovered something.

He followed closely behind, and after crossing the alley, he came to a wasteland.

The waist-high weeds in the wasteland are enough to serve as a shelter for hiding people.

Tang Zhongbai stood at the entrance of the alley, observing the movements in the bushes. When he heard the thatched grass moving not far away, he immediately followed it. In the blink of an eye, the bushes moved for a moment, then stopped moving. When he arrived at the location, he really saw two people lying in the bushes, staring at the distance without moving.

When Jiang Muxia saw him coming, she put her fingers to her lips and made a soft "hush" sound, then explained to him in a voice almost whispering.

"I just saw a familiar figure in the crowd, so I followed him here. Look ahead, he's lying in the bushes. Don't disturb him."

Tang Zhongbai stopped asking questions, perhaps this person was the spy hiding among them.

The three of them crawled on the ground and waited for his action, not knowing what he was doing. The three of them waited motionlessly for an incense stick of time, and when their bodies were about to become stiff, he finally moved.

He stood up and looked around, finding nothing unusual. He pushed aside the weeds and waded through the bushes toward the east.

After he was out of the range of an arrow, the three men stood up from the bushes and followed him quietly.

After exiting the weeds, the person in front ran quickly along the path.

It was almost the Yin hour now. The sun rises early in the summer. Perhaps he was afraid of being discovered, so he sped up and returned before daybreak.

As they chased, the three discovered something was wrong.

He ran to the ferry, which was closed. All the shops on the ferry were closed. As far as the three knew, the only shop that had people living in it was Xu's Tavern. And there was only one person living in the tavern, Xiao Ran, who stayed behind to watch the door.

Could it be her?

This discovery made the three people change their faces. If it was really her, this little girl was hiding it very well. Because of Jiang Hongxin, Jiang Muxia and Tang Zhongbai never doubted her.

They were completely disappointed. As expected, the man suddenly appeared in the tavern.

The three of them looked at each other. Although they couldn't believe it, it was normal when they thought about it carefully.

In the gray sky, the sky in the east was already turning pale.

Jiang Hongxin urged her to go back quickly, as the truth would be revealed if she was any later.

She was trapped in her nest, and it didn't matter whether she was there or not, so she went home with peace of mind.

The two men climbed over the wall into the pub, came to the backyard, sat at Xiaoran's door, waiting to capture her as soon as she showed up.

This wait lasted until the afternoon.

Xiaoran took a comfortable nap, and when she opened the door, she unexpectedly saw two people sitting upright.

Seeing Tang Zhongbai made her terrified, as if she had seen a ghost, and she almost screamed. She was smart enough to realize that he had probably seen through their actions. The prince had been deceived.

She rolled her eyes and wanted to run away from the two of them, but who was Jiang Hongxin?

Having been deceived by her for so long, he was so angry that his teeth itched. The long sword at his waist flashed into his hand and was placed on her neck.

"You are so capable that you have fooled all of us. Good prevails over evil, and you have finally been exposed. It is your good fortune that you died under my sword today. Go down and find your master."

Xiaoran stopped pretending at this time. She pulled the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain, "Do you think you can succeed if you kill me? I tell you the truth. I have long seen that Chu Ruo is pretending to be dead. By this time, my people would have passed the news to the prince. Your conspiracy has failed, haha..." She raised her proud little face to the sky and laughed.

Tang Zhongbai's heart sank as water, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew deeper. If what she said was true, the play they performed was a joke.

Xiao Ran raised the corners of her lips in sarcasm, "That bitch Tianji is not worthy of being my master. I am willing to die for the prince."

She stretched out her fingers to push away the sword on her neck, walked a few steps towards Tang Zhongbai with a smile on her face, stretched her neck to ask for credit from him, "I drugged your sweetheart so that she would leave early and clear the way for you. How about that, I am considerate enough, you should thank me."

Jiang Hongxin was shocked. It was indeed she who had drugged her. She would make this vicious woman pay with blood.

Xiao Ran turned around suddenly, spread his arms and said calmly to Jiang Hongxin who was showing her teeth and claws: "Sister, you are still so impatient. Now that things have come to this, I can't run away. Why don't we sit here and talk about our hearts? This is my last request before I die. I wonder if sister is willing to agree to this last small request of mine."

Jiang Muxia's face was as cold as ice, her brows were furrowed, and no one knew what she was planning.

Her eyes drifted towards Tang Zhongbai, asking for his instructions.

Tang Zhongbai nodded. He wanted to know how she would feel when she learned that Jiang Muxia was not dead.

He also wanted to tell her a piece of news that would destroy her faith and let her know what God's will was.

Xiao Ran's face suddenly turned pale. She covered her stomach with her hands, looking aggrieved. "Oh, I'm so hungry. I'm about to die. Magistrate Tang won't let me have a meal before I go on my way. This is my last meal in this world. I want to eat the braised pork made by my sister. I wonder if you can make my wish come true?"

She was speaking to Tang Zhongbai, but her eyes were looking at Jiang Hongxin.

It was obvious that he was trying to get her away because he wanted to say something to Tang Zhongbai.

Jiang Hongxin went to the kitchen tactfully, but kept her ears perked up to listen to the conversation in the yard.

Xiaoran spoke in a very low voice and she couldn't hear what he said.

The sizzling sound of the meat being put into the pot was accompanied by Tang Zhongbai's loud rebuke. Then, with a crisp "slap", Tang Zhongbai slapped Xiaoran in the face.

Jiang Hongxin lost interest in cooking and ran out of the kitchen. The sizzling sound from the pot called her back, and she scooped a bucket of water into the pot.

He quickly ran into the yard, only to see Xiaoran holding his head high and looking directly at Tang Zhongbai with a provocative smile.

"what happened?"

Tang Zhongbai gritted his teeth and pointed at Xiaoran, "She said that she added a large amount of black feather fungus to the poison she gave Mu Xia. Even if she wakes up, as time goes by, her memory will get worse and worse and she will eventually become unconscious..." He didn't dare to say anything more. What made him even more angry was that she also told him...

"Let me tell you, she stayed in the tavern for a few days. I added a large amount of safflower to the medicine she drank. She drank it for three days. I'm afraid she won't be able to have a baby, haha..."

Xiao Ran laughed heartily as if she was crazy, her face was hideous. The suffering she brought to others was a fun thing that made her happy in her eyes.

Jiang Hongxin couldn't bear it any longer and stabbed her heart with a sword, "Go to hell, your master will come down to find you soon. I'd like to tell you that our people have already stopped the message you passed to Wu Jun, you go down and lead the way for your master."

She drew her sword and thrust it in again.

Xiao Ran opened his eyes wide, and with his last breath, he shouted out his indignation, "You are talking nonsense, it's impossible..."

"It's possible that you won't be able to see it."

Jiang Hongxin stabbed again, and Xiaoran died with his eyes wide open, unwilling to accept the loss.

"Go and take her to see Divine Doctor Chu." Tang Zhongbai wished he could run over there himself, but it was a pity that he couldn't show up right now.

"You are confused. At night, I will bring her over."

After Jiang Muxia learned the truth, she just smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has his own destiny. Fortune and wealth are in the hands of God. Let's talk about it after we clear out the rioters."
