The game of life and death begins for the court Ministers including the Prime Minister himself by searching for the Nightingale's true identity and bring it to His Majesty after three days.

They knew how selfish His Majesty is and everything He wants must be presented to Him in a blink of an eye.

Thankfully, The Emperor is a very patient man and He gave time but be cautious when He doesn't see anything in front of Him after his giving time. Death will come and knocking at the door unexpectedly. And If ever the Ministers failed. Well, let's just say there may be a new court ministers before the year ends and the people of Beifang will witnessed on a dreaded place where unfortunate people be hanged by a tree post on how the failure Ministers' heads cut and be hanged.

In their first day which it was a hot summer Monday morning where the capital of Beifang are busily and noisy as ever nonetheless.

Prime Minister Juxing Shu together with his fellow ministers went to the village of Di yi district to start collecting some information about the 'Nightingale of Beifang' and whoever can revealed the true identity of the Nightingale would received a reward that awaits for that person.

Stepping on the cemented pavement road of Di yi and immediately asked the village people with the same questions all over again.

"How do you know about the Nightingale of Beifang?"

"Is it a Male or a Female?"

"Have you seen it in person?"

"Has anyone been able to catch the Nightingale?" and repeatedly. But they're in distress till the end of the day because everyone's answers wasn't they wanted to hear.

"I'm sorry but I don't know who is the  Nightingale"

"Nope! Dunno, Good sir"

"Ah! The Nightingale you say. It have such a lovely voice that you never heard before. You must visit it at the edge's cliff in front of the Emperor's garden. There you could hear its beautiful songs"

"Ah! How much the rewards is?"

"I like the pretty bird" one child answer with glee innocently, so on and so fort. Everyone never knew who was the Nightingale nor its identity.

As the day goes by, visiting every village from one district to another which the result is a terribly disappointments. So, the tired Ministers went back to the palace to have some rest and preparing for tomorrow.

On the second day, the ministers went to visit the houses of Yufu. It wasn't considered a district of Beifang because Yufu's Village were near at the sea and only the fishermen together with their family residences there but it's still important for Beifang because Yufu is the one who brings good and fresh fishes.

As usual, The ministers asked the same questions from yesterday and they first entered the famous fisherman's house, Niao Da.
