Two men left after drinking. Lao Fei curiously asked Su Wuming about their conversation. Su Wuming revealed they discussed Hanzhou Granary, a crucial location in the northwest and the lifeline for grain and fodder in that area. Lao Fei understood its importance and expressed his concern. Su Wuming further speculated that this matter might be related to the mysterious Taiyin Society. If so, it would pose a significant threat to national stability.

The two decided that given the importance of Hanzhou Granary to the nation, they must investigate the matter thoroughly to uncover the truth and ensure national peace. Fei Jishi suggested going to Yunding, but Su Wuming had reservations. He believed Lu Lingfeng would not give up easily, and Lu Lingfeng himself insisted he had shown his determination to the monastery abbot and would not quit halfway.

Given the shadow of the previous inn incident, everyone decided to temporarily rent lodgings here for seven days and entrusted Lao Fei with finding a suitable residence. As soon as the news got out, Cao Shuangli's eyes lit up. He enthusiastically stopped Lao Fei, showing great interest in the rental matter. After some bargaining, Lao Fei finally agreed on a house, but upon signing the agreement, he unexpectedly discovered the owner was Longfa.

Cao Shuangli then revealed that Song Ami was actually his younger sister, which made Lao Fei feel a bit awkward. Su Wuming was full of curiosity about the relationship between Cao Shuangli and Song Ami. He keenly noticed the ambiguous tone in Cao Shuangli's voice when mentioning Song Ami and further speculated that Longfa might have met with misfortune. Lao Fei agreed with Su Wuming's analysis and suggested involving Ma Canjun in the investigation.

Facing a potential official investigation, Cao Shuangli seemed flustered and hastily offered to renegotiate. Su Wuming took the opportunity to further lower the price. Although Cao Shuangli was unwilling, he could only reluctantly accept, swallowing his bitterness. Lao Fei was quite satisfied with the house, but Su Wuming felt suspicious about the extremely low rent, believing it was very likely a haunted house.

Pei Xijun felt a tremor of fear upon hearing this, while Su Wuming comforted her humorously, saying that having a nightmare tonight would confirm the speculation. As night fell, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng conducted a careful inspection of the backyard and indeed found a sealed dry well. Lu Lingfeng bravely went down the well to investigate and finally pulled up a corpse.

After a careful examination, Lao Fei confirmed the deceased had died from injuries inflicted by someone, and the body bore the mark of the Taiyin Society, further deepening their suspicion about the secrets that might be hidden behind this house. Facing this sudden case, Su Wuming stated he would investigate thoroughly, but also realized it would be a difficult task.

Lao Fei enthusiastically expressed his desire to participate, boasting that he was about to become a master detective, which drew a helpless laugh from everyone. To pursue clues, Lu Lingfeng and his group went to the blacksmith shop. Lu Lingfeng cleverly sent Lao Fei and others away to buy chickens while he secretly observed from the side. Soon, he noticed government runners active nearby and apprehending passersby. This scene made Cao Shuangli feel things were bad.

He hastily revealed Song Ami's residence, trying to exchange this information for his own safety. Pei Xijun used Prefect Liao's identity to conduct the investigation, and the government runners had to comply. Lao Fei bragged to Lu Lingfeng about his skills in dealing with blacksmiths, claiming he could get the answer he wanted in just three sentences. However, when Lao Fei probed the blacksmith, Mu Linlang, as a leader of the Taiyin Society, he did not get the expected result.

Mu Linlang was not only not afraid but also bluntly stated they were not local officials. During the conversation, Mu Linlang revealed he had forged a large number of knives for the Taiyin Society but refused their request for him to go into the mountains. Lu Lingfeng keenly perceived Mu Linlang's concerns and deduced that the government runners outside might be related to Ma Meng. To protect Mu Linlang's safety, Lu Lingfeng instructed him not to reveal his identity.

Ying Tao encountered Song Ami by chance, and Su Wuming had a subtle expression when he saw her. Song Ami casually said the deceased's death was caused by Ying Tao's "evil aura. " Cao Shuangli arrived shortly after, making the atmosphere even more awkward. Song Ami's attitude towards the officials changed significantly, while Cao Shuangli insisted the deceased was not Longfa. Their differing statements attracted Su Wuming's attention. Ying Tao was confused by Song Ami's words and actions.

Su Wuming concluded that Song Ami knew the inside story. They followed Song Ami to the affairs hall. Song Ami angrily demanded to return the house and threatened to kill her husband. It turned out that during the transaction, she was discovered attempting to murder her husband, and the other party intended to do something indecent. At a crucial moment, Su Wuming, pretending to be Song Ami's husband, burst in and resolved the crisis.
