After Mu Zhou watched Du Ran being taken away, he turned around and saw Yu Chengfeng looking as if it had nothing to do with him. He became so angry that he raised his foot and actually kicked another stone bench next to Yu Chengfeng to the ground.

"She is just stupid. She has such good intentions but she raises an ungrateful person. Bah!"

After Mu Zhou left angrily, Yu Chengfeng looked at the empty entrance of the palace with a gloomy look.

"Will we appear to be too heartless by doing this?" Xu Bingxia muttered softly as she squatted at the door.

"Conscience? Conscience is more important than life? Conscience is more important than money? He's a general, a man who can kill people at any moment. How dare you provoke him?" Liu Xihua retorted in a low voice.

Xu Bingxia curled her lips and looked out the door again: "Look at Mu Zhou, how righteous he is. If the princess hadn't stopped him, he would have gone and killed General Qi!"

"He is righteous? That's stupid! He is brave but not wise!" Liu Xihua said indignantly: "Don't deviate from your original intention. We have a mission. Don't be soft-hearted when the time comes."

"I know. I'm tired of hearing you say it every day!" Xu Bingxia shook her head impatiently, then shut the door to Liu Xihua's nagging.

They said they were cooperating with the investigation, but in fact they just locked Du Ran up in jail. She was still crying and lamenting the injustice of God two days ago, but apart from the jailer wandering around, she never saw Qi Heng again. He could not hear all the vicious insults and curses against him, it was all in vain and a waste of his voice.

On the third day, Qi Heng was still nowhere to be seen, but the jailers must have received his order and interrogated a prisoner sitting next to Du Ran.

As luck would have it, the interrogation took place just diagonally opposite Du Ran, and she could clearly see the entire process of the man being tortured.

She immediately understood that this was the so-called killing the chicken to scare the monkey!

"Are you trying to do this?" Du Ran sneered in her heart. She was so hard-hearted that even if the man was beheaded in front of her, she would at most get goose bumps. If she shivered, she would lose!

But she overestimated herself a little.

Even though she closed her eyes, the man's miserable wails made her feel uncomfortable. She felt cold all over and tried hard not to faint.

Qi Heng looked through a dark window at Du Ran, who was shivering with fear, and nodded with satisfaction, revealing a contemptuous smile.

Mu Zhou had been sharpening his knife for several days, and the shiny blade was already eager to lick the blood.

"Cowards! I hope that when I bring the queen back, you will have known what's best for you and will get as far away from me as possible!" Mu Zhou carried a long sword on his face, as if he was a heroic young man about to go to war.

Mu Zhou looked around at the few people with an expression that said "I had expected this".

"Um..." Xu Bingxia suddenly stood up and said timidly: "Brother Muzhou, can I go with you?"

Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then showed a disgusted expression, and rejected him with great disgust: "Brother? That sounds disgusting! Go wherever you want, I'm going to kill people, not to play!"

In Liu Xihua's shocked eyes, Xu Bingxia took two more steps forward, her eyes firm: "The princess has treated me well, even if I die, I will go to save her!"

"Okay, the Queen is not here. There's no point in your false display of loyalty here! Hurry up and pack your things and get out with him!" Mu Zhou glanced at Liu Xihua, his eyes full of mockery.

Liu Xihua felt embarrassed, so he took two steps forward, grabbed Xu Bingxia's arm, and said hesitantly: "Cousin is right, how can we abandon the princess at this time? Although we are weak, maybe we can help."

Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows, feeling a little depressed. He felt that these two people were more hypocritical and troublesome than each other. He just wanted them to give up and leave quickly.

"Brother Yu, don't you want to join us?" Liu Xihua extended a sincere invitation to Yu Chengfeng.

Yu Chengfeng still looked lazy, weak and frivolous. He stretched slightly, held his cheek, and said softly: "So if you kill Qi Heng, you can save Ran Ran?"

Mu Zhou rubbed his brows to calm his irritable mood: "What else? Kill you?"

"It's just to move her to another prison. But there is also an advantage. We can go to the prison with her, each with a room, and there's no need to fight over it."

"What do you mean!" Mu Zhou was unhappy: "I think you are scared, if you are scared, just get out of here, so as not to implicate you!"

Yu Chengfeng stood up and looked directly at Mu Zhou, with a smile in his eyes: "If you think you are brave."

Under Yu Chengfeng's seemingly provocative words, Mu Zhou finally lost his temper, drew his sword and pointed it at Yu Chengfeng, and said in a low voice: "You Qi Heng's running dog still want to speak nonsense here, grandpa, I will send you all down today!"

Even Liu Xihua and Xu Bingxia next to him kept persuading Mu Zhou not to be impulsive, but Yu Chengfeng still had a smile on his face, without any fear.

"As long as we can prove that there is no problem with the goods purchased in our store, Qi Heng will have to let her go. But if you force it like you do, even if Qi Heng dies, he cannot save her." Yu Chengfeng pointed out the problem slowly.

Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment, but did not refute. Instead, he followed what Yu Chengfeng had just said and asked, "How do you prove it?"

Liu Xihua quickly said: "We can prove this. There are no problems with the samples we checked!"

Yu Chengfeng shook his head: "Qi Heng will not believe what you two say."

"Then how to prove it?" Liu Xihua also asked.

"Yang Bo's inventory must have been seized by Qi Heng. Even if Yang Bo is fine, we have no evidence. Now it all depends on Qi Heng. If he says there is a problem with our goods, then there is a problem." Yu Chengfeng analyzed clearly: "He just wants to ruin our store. Taking Ran Ran away is just to buy time for us to admit that there is a problem with our goods."

"Get to the point!" Mu Zhou yelled unhappily, "So much nonsense!"

Yu Chengfeng also raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "Just prove that our goods are not imported from Yang Bo."

"But we did purchase the goods from Yang Bo!" Xu Bingxia was a little confused.

Mu Zhou reacted quickly: "I understand!"

"What do you understand?" Liu Xihua was even more confused. He and Xu Bingxia looked at each other, and then looked at Yu Chengfeng with more curiosity, but Yu Chengfeng just left them with a mysterious expression.

"Your force should be used for this purpose, not to kill Qi Heng." Yu Chengfeng smiled.

"So much nonsense!" Mu Zhou frowned.

At night, dark clouds blocked the moonlight, making the night even darker.

A figure flashed into the night, his body agile and seemed to blend into it.
