Long Tai suspected Lan Juzi was the murderer and wanted to take him away. Lan Juzi was flustered, defending his identity as a scholar and denying the murder. Long Tai stated clearly that there were no instruments of torture here and could only handle it with private punishment. Although Lan Juzi argued desperately, he was still restrained. Long Tai vowed to apprehend him and take him back to the county office for punishment according to the law, to uphold discipline.

Jiang Wei, the Jiang Shanren, stepped forward at this moment, expressing sincere gratitude to the Long County Commandant. Lu Lingfeng also stood up and echoed his words. Long Tai heard this, was secretly delighted, and seeing Su Wuming praise him repeatedly from the side, couldn't help but feel a bit carried away, grandly announcing that he would certainly govern this place orderly.

However, Lu Lingfeng quietly exposed the truth of Long Tai impersonating the County Commandant, making Long Tai secretly surprised at how insightful these people were. Su Wuming took the opportunity to mention exorbitant taxes and levies and the suffering of the people, advocating for the self-sufficiency of the populace. The two sides disagreed, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and finally came to blows. Ying Tao saw that the other side had the advantage in numbers and quickly joined the fight.

Jiang Wei was also unwilling to fall behind and stepped forward. Long Tai originally wanted to win by virtue of superior numbers, but unexpectedly Lu Lingfeng, by himself, easily defeated everyone. After the fight, Su Wuming suggested questioning Long Tai. Long Tai revealed his past, stating that his family's business was winemaking, but they were ruined and destroyed due to being framed by a villainous court official, and his wife even committed suicide in resentment.

Although he possessed exceptional skills, he never had the thought of killing people. He only plundered the wealth of that high-ranking official and then wandered the world with his brothers. This account gave everyone present a deeper understanding of Long Tai's experiences. Long Tai revealed the reason why he impersonated the County Commandant.

It turns out that the true County Commandant was known for his selfless and simple life and noble character, not hesitating to spend all his family wealth to rescue disaster victims from dire circumstances. And now, the true murderer of Mi Tuo is still at large. Everyone is eager to bring him to justice. Lu Lingfeng solemnly promises at this moment that after he officially takes office, he will definitely prevent such tragedies from recurring.

His firm resolve won the deep respect of Jiang Wei and others. Night falls. Su Wuming originally intended to go to the night market to search for clues. However, on the way, he accidentally encountered Fei Jishi in a corner acting suspiciously. Suspicion immediately arose in his heart, and he secretly thought that Fei Jishi's action was certainly not for a good reason. Meanwhile, Pei Xijun noticed something unusual inside the shrine.

The missing bead on the statue caught her attention. Everyone immediately began a search. During the search, they discovered that not only were precious beads hidden inside the shrine, but also hidden weapons were concealed on the roof. The atmosphere instantly became tense. Lu Lingfeng was agile. He leaped onto the roof. He saw that it was covered in footprints, indicating someone had been active there.

After some tracking, he was surprised to find that the roof was closely connected to the nearby inn, speculating that the murderer might possess superb lightness skills. Jiang Wei, combining various signs, put forward the hypothesis that the murderer had excellent lightness skills.

Pei Xijun further pointed out that besides their group, the shop owner and her old employee had also mysteriously disappeared, and there seemed to be some connection between the red silk on the door and the footprints on the roof. Su Wuming, based on the clues, speculated that the shop owner might not have truly died, but had escaped in a bizarre manner.

Just as everyone was opening the vat to check, an even stranger scene appeared: the ropes inside the vat were intact, but the body had vanished without a trace. This scene was chilling. Ying Tao, upon careful observation, actually discovered a hidden hole at the bottom of the vat, adding a new mystery to the case. Lan Juzi recalled the scene from that day.

Although he firmly believed he had personally witnessed the bloodstain and the horrific sight of the dagger piercing the body, everything before his eyes made him begin to doubt his own memory. Su Wuming was puzzled about where the female shop owner hid after the "murder". Lu Lingfeng speculated that the sound originated from beneath the shrine, suggesting there might be a secret passage. Su Wuming sighed that this place was called an inn, but actually concealed hidden secrets.

Initially, it wasn't for wealth, but had another scheme in mind. Jiang Wei revealed his identity at this moment and thanked Long Tai for his past help and gifts of money. Long Tai explained that he couldn't bear to see Xin Wei decline, which is why he did this. Su Wuming speculated that a gold mine might be hidden here. Upon hearing this, Long Tai noticed the abnormality of the shrine.

Pei Xijun recalled that this place was once a Buddhist hall. Su Wuming suddenly realized that this place was actually the ruins of a Six Dynasties capital. Everyone urgently searched for the underground shrine. After some searching, the secret passage was finally discovered. Jiang Wei vowed to find the murderer and the missing craftsmen. Su Wuming requested assistance from Long Tai and others, hoping to atone for their past misdeeds.

However, as soon as they entered the secret passage, everyone found the ground soaked with oil, clearly indicating someone intended to attack with fire. The situation was critical.
