Qin Feng frowned slightly, looking at the girl in front of him, with a hint of concern in his tone: "Don't open your heart to others casually in the future. People in this world are complicated, so you must open your eyes."

The girl nodded obediently and said softly, "I'll remember."

Qin Feng said no more and turned to walk towards the man who was lying on the ground.

He just stretched out his big hand, picked up the man like an eagle catching a chick, and then strode away.

The girl looked at Qin Feng's departing back, and tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

Crystal tears rolled down her cheeks, and her heart was filled with emotion.

In this vast world, she felt that she had really met a good person.

At this moment, she secretly vowed to be more careful in the future and not to be as naive as before and trust others easily.

This experience is a lesson as well as growth. She will live well with this warning.

Qin Feng hurried all the way and successfully brought the tied-up man back to his village.

At this time, Liu Yidao and others were guarding near the village entrance.

When Qin Feng's familiar figure appeared in their field of vision, several people's faces instantly showed expressions of great joy.

Liu Yidao walked forward and was about to speak when his eyes fell on the person in women's clothing next to Qin Feng. He couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is this woman?"

Qin Feng said: "Don't be fooled by appearances, this is the man we want to catch, he is dressed up as a woman."

When Liu Yidao and his companions heard this, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

At this moment, Liu Yidao couldn't help but burst into laughter, and he shouted while laughing: "Haha, this is really interesting, this guy is so beautiful after putting on makeup as a woman, if he walks on the street, maybe a lot of people will turn their heads!"

Qin Feng said: "I have torn off his hypocritical human skin mask. Now I let him put on this disguise again so that everyone can see his cunning more clearly."

Soon, Qin Feng brought the man back home. At his command, Liu Yidao and others immediately took action, brought a basin of cold water, and poured it on the tightly tied man.

Under the stimulation of the cold water, the man gradually regained consciousness and began to twist his body and struggle.

Liu Yidao looked at the man dressed in women's clothes and said with a playful smile: "Hey, you know what, he is so handsome. I can't bear to take off his mask."

Qin Feng frowned and glared at Liu Yidao: "It's already this time, stop messing around."

Liu Yidao stuck out his tongue and then ordered his men to go forward and take off the man's mask.

The man was shocked by the sudden cold water and trembled violently all over, as if he was awakened from a nightmare.

His eyes first opened slightly, as if he was still adjusting to the sudden stimulation, and then suddenly widened, his eyes full of fear and panic.

As his consciousness gradually returned, his gaze moved slowly, and he suddenly saw Qin Feng with a stern expression, and Liu Yidao and others beside him with a playful look on their faces.

When his eyes fell on the bailiff in official uniform standing beside him, he knew in his heart that his shameful deeds must have been discovered by the government.

But his eyes rolled, his brows slightly wrinkled, his face instantly filled with confusion and innocence, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Who are you? Why are you in my house? Do you know that trespassing is a serious crime!"

He tried to cover up his guilt in this way, but his slightly trembling voice still betrayed him.

Qin Feng stared at the man with eyes as sharp as knives, and said coldly: "You'd better take the initiative to explain your crimes clearly, and don't wait for us to take action."

The man started to play dumb, and cried out innocently: "What crime have I committed? You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"

Qin Feng frowned, took a step forward, and exuded an intimidating aura.

"Hmph, stop trying to quibble. We already have a lot of evidence against you. If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame us for being rude. You'll suffer the consequences later."

When the man heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little timid. Cold sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead and his eyes began to flicker.

But he still held on, trying to look very calm, and said with his neck stiff, "I have never done anything bad, I am not afraid of your investigation."

Qin Feng's face was gloomy. He ordered Liu Yidao and others to keep a close eye on the man. Then he flashed and walked quickly towards the man's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Qin Feng's sharp eyes began to scan the room, finally landing on the wardrobe.

He walked forward without hesitation, pulled open the closet door, and saw a large number of human skin masks hidden inside.

Qin Feng sneered, took out all the human skin masks at once, then strode back to the man and threw them hard, and the human skin masks fell to the ground one after another.

Qin Feng's eyes widened with anger, and he asked loudly: "What else do you have to say now?"

The man looked at the mask on the ground, his face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

But then, the man quickly put on a smiling face and said flatteringly: "This is just my personal hobby. I just think it's fun. I really didn't do anything against the law. Does the law of our Han Dynasty prohibit people from even having a hobby?"

Qin Feng looked at his face, secretly hating his cunningness, and frowned even more tightly.

Qin Feng turned to Liu Yidao and said, "This kid is too cunning. You find a way to make him talk. I'm going to go out for some fresh air. I'm at ease leaving it to you."

After saying that, Qin Feng walked out without looking back, leaving Liu Yidao and the man confronting each other in the room.

Liu Yidao rubbed his hands together, a sneer appeared on his lips, and walked towards the man.

Qin Feng walked outside, found an open space, stood still, and looked up to bask in the warm sunshine.

Ever since he became a secret guard, he almost forgot how long it had been since he had lived so comfortably under the sun.

At this moment, the golden sunlight sprinkled on his body, warm and cozy, as if dispelling the haze that had accumulated in his heart for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh deeply that it turned out that this ordinary sunlight could be so comfortable and pleasant.

He closed his eyes slightly, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Inside the room, Liu Yidao waved his hand and ordered the bailiffs to attack the man, hoping to make him confess as soon as possible.

The man shouted, "You can't force a confession under torture."

Liu Yidao frowned and slapped him.

"You know a lot. If you don't want to suffer, just tell me now!"

Liu Yidao then said in a serious tone: "We are not carrying out an ordinary errand this time. We are acting on the orders of the Prime Minister."

When the man heard this, he was really shocked, his eyes were full of fear.

Seeing this, Liu Yidao sneered and said, "Humph, if you don't believe me, you will have a chance to see the Prime Minister's portrait later. For someone like you who has done so many evil things and is worse than an animal, it's your great honor to have the opportunity to be involved in the Prime Minister's affairs. Why don't you tell the truth!"

Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Liu Yidao's face turned cold and he shouted in a low voice: "What are you still standing there for? Go and greet him properly."

After receiving the order, the bailiffs used all kinds of methods to cruelly torture the man.

The man gritted his teeth and held on at first, but as the torture intensified, he gradually couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and cried out in tears: "Stop beating me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with fear and despair, and finally admitted that he had indeed done a lot of bad things.

After taking a breath, he said weakly: "My name is Lu Yun, I know I have committed a heinous crime, please give me a quick death."

Liu Yidao let out a long sigh and said, "It's good that he is willing to admit it. Now I can finally report to the Prime Minister. As for how to try the case, that is the Prime Minister's business."

After saying that, Liu Yidao turned around and walked out of the house, and found Qin Feng outside.

Liu Yidao said to Qin Feng with a smile on his face: "The beast has confessed everything. His name is Lu Yun."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "In that case, let's report to the Prime Minister right away. Everyone has made efforts and achieved merit this time, and the Prime Minister will definitely reward you." When everyone heard this, they all showed expectant looks on their faces, as if they had already seen the scene of the Prime Minister rewarding them.

Qin Feng then said in a serious tone: "Take him away, and his masks too. Don't leave any of them behind. These masks are the tools he used to commit evil. Maybe we can find more clues to his crimes from them. We must not leave them here."

After hearing the order, Liu Yidao immediately directed the yamen runners to take action. They roughly pulled Lu Yun up, and carefully collected the human skin masks, preparing to take them away.

Soon, Qin Feng arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. After seeing Xi Yu, he explained the whole story in detail and told him that the man had been taken to the county jail.

Then, Qin Feng asked: "Prime Minister, is the case of Dongfanghong going to be tried as a priority?"

The Prime Minister frowned slightly, his eyes deep.

Qin Feng quickly continued, "I have already informed the county magistrate. He will conduct a special review of this case, especially focusing on the part related to The East is Red."

After hearing this, the Prime Minister nodded slightly and said, "Well, you did a good job."

Seeing this, Qin Feng struck while the iron was hot and said, "Prime Minister, the yamen runners who participated in this event have made a lot of efforts. Shouldn't we give them some credit?"

Xi Yu said calmly, "Just handle this matter on your own. Make sure rewards and punishments are clear so that everyone can serve the court wholeheartedly."

When Qin Feng received the order, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he was secretly thinking about how to record the credit for those yamen runners.

On the other side, the morning light breaks through the night sky, and a new day comes quietly.

Shi Daming and Chen Shou set out on the road ahead.

Shi Daming knew very well that after everything that had happened before, Chen Shoushou now had a gap with him, but he didn't care.

In his opinion, as long as he can finally accomplish the great cause in his mind, what does this small gap matter?

Moreover, in his eyes, Chen Shoushou was not a key figure of great importance. As long as it did not affect the progress of major events, he did not care about these minor details at all.

At this moment, Shi Daming looked at Chen Shou and said calmly but unquestionably: "Don't worry, I will give you the antidote every morning. As long as you take it on time, you will be safe for the whole day."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shou nodded helplessly.

"Chen Shou, after we complete this mission, you can come with me to visit the Parthian Empire. Although that place is not as prosperous and lively as the Central Plains, it also has its own unique scenery. Moreover, I have some connections. When we get there, I can talk to the king and arrange a good job for you so that you don't have to continue living in poverty. What do you think?"

Chen Shou was slightly stunned, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Chen Shou shook his head gently and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have always been accustomed to living in a place that I am familiar with. I always feel uneasy when I go out to live in an unfamiliar place. Besides, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live a simple life in my own little world, so I don't plan to venture out into the world." After that, he sighed slightly and looked into the distance, as if he was looking forward to the simple and stable life that belonged to him.

After hearing what Chen Shou said, Shi Daming couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of indifference in his laughter. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, it doesn't matter. Our top priority now is to do this matter well first, and the rest is later. Once this matter is done, it won't be too late to consider other things."

After saying that, his eyes became sharp and looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about his next plan.

Night falls again, quietly covering the earth like a piece of black silk.

As usual, the two stayed in an inn after their journey.

Shi Daming did not let his guard down. He asked Chen Shou to stay in the same room with him to prevent Chen Shou from taking the opportunity to escape.

After entering the room, Smith moved the bed to the door and slept at the key position at the door.

In this way, even if Chen Shou wanted to escape, it would be difficult for him to put it into action.

On this seemingly peaceful night, Chen Shou lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, his heart in turmoil.

He had been racking his brains over how to get the real news to the prime minister.
This question kept circling in his mind, preventing him from falling asleep for a long time.

In the second half of the night, Chen Shou was awakened by the urge to urinate. He slowly sat up, put on his shoes, and prepared to go to the toilet.

As soon as this subtle noise was heard, Shi Daming, who was sleeping at the door, immediately woke up.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chen Shou vigilantly, and asked in a hurried tone: "Where are you going?" He looked extremely nervous, as if he was afraid that Chen Shou would take the opportunity to slip away.

Chen Shou frowned and said helplessly, "I'm just going to the toilet. Why, do you have to watch me do this?"

When Smith heard this, he showed no intention of giving in. He stood up and said, "Then I have to go with you."

After saying that, he followed Chen Shou closely.

The two went to the toilet together and returned to the room together. Shi Daming looked at Chen Shou and said in a slightly more relaxed tone: "Don't think you have lost your freedom. I still say that when this matter is over, everything will be fine. Then you can go wherever you want, and I won't stare at you like this anymore. Now is just a special period, I hope you can bear with it."

Chen Shou was still lying on the bed, brows furrowed, still thinking hard about how to better convey the message to the prime minister, but after thinking it over, he still couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

Perhaps he was too tired, and before he knew it, he fell asleep in a daze.

However, not long after, Chen Shou was awakened by a burst of talking in his sleep.

When I listened carefully, I found that it was Smith talking in his sleep.

He was heard shouting, "Don't worry, King. I will get it done!"

The shout was particularly clear in the silent night.

Another new day has come, the sun shines on the streets and alleys, revealing a bit of the tranquility of ordinary days.

Meanwhile, at the county government office, the trial of Lu Yun's case had already been completed.

Lu Yun hung his head, his face dejected, signed the confession, and admitted his numerous evil deeds.

He disguised himself as other people many times to commit crimes, and committed countless crimes.

He also specifically explained how he impersonated Dongfanghong, saying that he once saw Dongfanghong leaving Youzhou College, and then he made a human skin mask in the image of Dongfanghong, and then did evil things outside in the name of Dongfanghong.

Lu Yun originally thought that Dongfanghong was just an ordinary person, but he never imagined that this person was actually related to the prime minister.

At this moment, his heart was full of regret, but it was too late.

Qin Feng looked serious and did not dare to slack off at all. He reported all the details of the trial of Lu Yun's case to Xi Yu in detail.

From how Lu Yun made the human skin mask of Dongfanghong to the crimes he committed in the name of Dongfanghong, every detail was clearly described.

Xi Yu listened carefully, nodded slowly, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.

Qin Feng paused for a moment, then asked respectfully, "Prime Minister, the county magistrate has something unclear. Now Lu Yun has been imprisoned, but I don't know how to deal with him next? Will he be beheaded directly as a warning to others, or will there be other arrangements? I hope the prime minister will make it clear so that the county magistrate can be prepared."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Let Lu Yun stay in jail first. There is no rush. Let me think about how to deal with him."

Qin Feng nodded respectfully.

Xi Yu continued, "Go back and tell the county magistrate about this news, then continue to perform your duties as a secret guard, and don't get too involved in the county government's matter about Lu Yun."

Qin Feng immediately accepted the order, saluted with his fists, turned around and left quickly to carry out the task assigned by Xi Yu.

At this moment, Lu Yun was escorted by the bailiffs and staggered into the dark and damp prison.

As soon as I entered the cell, the gloomy atmosphere that permeated the surroundings hit me in the face.

His heart skipped a beat and was filled with despair.

He knew very well that he had impersonated Dongfanghong to commit the crime, and Dongfanghong was actually the prime minister's friend. Based on this fact, he was doomed this time and would definitely be beheaded.

As he thought about it, Lu Yun became more and more afraid. His body trembled uncontrollably and his teeth chattered. (End of this chapter)
