Mu Nanzhi suddenly kept his head up and said seriously, “I will spare no efforts to make some wild boar meat for you . ”
Lu Zhishan’s mouth twitched and he replied, “ . . . all right . Then I will just wait to eat wild boar meat . ”
The midnight of the next day .
Xie Lun entered the study of Marquess Ning .

“Yes, Zhao Liren went to Marquis Zhongyuan’s Mansion when it was dark and came out half an hour later . I followed him and saw him return his home . Then I quickly came back to report it to you, my highness . ”
Lu Zhishan picked up his teacup and was about to drink some tea . But suddenly, he heavily put the teacup on the table and instructed, “Take my token to find Ma Ruilin, the leader of guard troop . Tell him to search every street carefully . Catch those people who looked unusual . ”
“Yes . I will go to the guard troop now . ” Noticing the expression on Lu Zhishan’s face, Xie Lun knew that there must be something serious that had happened . He quickly took the token, got out of the gate and hurried to the guard troop .

The guard troop was responsible for guarding the capital city . Its master Ma Ruilin was Lu Zhishan’s old friend and had ever worked for him . So he respected Lu Zhishan pretty much . Though it seemed that he had no connection with Marquess Ning, he had visited Lu Zhishan for several times .
The Taoist priest just argued with Marchioness Deng and then she sent her people to kill him . He went to the court of the capital city because he wanted to report a case or he wanted to ask for protection . But the next day, Zhao Liren went to Marquis Zhongyuan’s Mansion . Apparently, Zhao Liren had known all the secrets and got in contact with them on his own initiative . Naturally, they should have made a deal with each other . No matter what happened, it would be hard for the Taoist priest to live a long time .
Lu Zhishan really hoped that it was not too late .
He didn’t go to sleep all night . While the day was breaking, Xie Lun raised the door curtain and came in . Seeing the expression on his face, Lu Zhishan eventually heaved a sigh of relief .
“My highness, you are really amazing . They found the Taoist priest and two officers at three quarters past four . The officers were at the point to kill him . The Taoist priest would be dead if they came a bit later . ”

Lu Zhishan rubbed his forehead and said, “How’s it going now?”
“The people of guard troop directly took the two officers and the Taoist priest back . They should be interrogated now . ”
“Well, you have been busy for a whole night . Just go back to have a rest . ”
“All right . I will go now, my highness . ”
As Xie Lun withdrew, Lu Zhishan called over Song Fu and said, “Song Fu, tell someone to go to princess’s mansion and tell princess not to go out these days . Just stay at home and tell others she is scared so she can’t go out . ”
“Okay, I will do it soon . ” Song Fu took the order and withdrew, though he was still pretty confused .
That afternoon, the senior officer of capital city Zhao Liren, Marquis Zhongyuan and his wife as well as the Taoist priest was brought to emperor . Then the truth was out .
Marchioness Deng was the only daughter of the previous master of Bureau of Astronomy . In this case, he regarded her as the apple of his eye and taught her all his skills . That was why Marchioness Deng knew the rites of the Zhou Dynasty and celestial phenomena well at a young age though she was just a girl .
