From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

"Calm down, you two, calm down~"

Just as Liu Yi felt he was in a bind, a charming voice suddenly rang out, followed by a stunningly beautiful woman with a cold and aloof demeanor, her purple hair swaying as she walked over.

Zi Nu turned to the two maids who were attending Liu Yi and scolded them with feigned displeasure, "What are you standing there for? Can't you see that Zuo Sima is drunk? Hurry up and help him down to rest!"

"My lord, let's go back and rest."

"Sir, please walk slowly."

With Zi Nu offering him a way out, Liu Yi quickly took the opportunity, pretending to be drunk, and left with the two maids.

Of course, this doesn't mean the matter is over!

Liu Yi will definitely try to find out Ji Wuye's opinion tomorrow. If Xiao Feng is really a big shot he can't afford to offend, then he'll just have to accept his bad luck.

If Xiao Feng is just bluffing, then Liu Yi will make him understand how terrible the consequences of making fun of him will be.

"I am Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan. I have met Young Master Xiao."

After sending away that plague Liu Yi, Zi Nu bowed slightly to Xiao Feng and said, "The incident tonight has disturbed your enjoyment, young master. It is truly a dereliction of duty on the part of Zi Lan Xuan. Please forgive us."

"It's nothing, just a small matter!"

Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "If Miss Zi Nu really feels bad about it, then she can stay and have a few drinks with me."

"I am not a good drinker, so please be lenient with me later."

Zi Nu was also curious about Xiao Feng's background, so she readily accepted his invitation.

Unfortunately, Zi Nu didn't expect that Xiao Feng couldn't get drunk at all. Her plan to get Xiao Feng drunk and extract information failed before it even began.

So in the next few hours, Zi Nu not only failed to find out any useful information, but Xiao Feng also took advantage of her quite a bit.

It wasn't until midnight that Xiao Feng, reeking of alcohol, finally left Zi Lan Xuan, satisfied, under Zi Nu's resentful gaze.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to board the carriage of the Xiao family, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up at the Zilan Pavilion behind him.

Two figures were standing by the window on the fourth floor of Zilan Pavilion, looking down at him.

One of them was dressed in a purple robe, with a handsome face and a hint of cynicism between his brows. He was none other than Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Han!

The other person was dressed in a black and gold long robe, with short white hair. He had a heroic appearance and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. He was clearly Wei Zhuang, one of the disciples of Guigu.

Chapter 49 Even the strongest kidneys can't withstand it

After exchanging glances with Han Fei and the others for a while, and seeing that no new projection missions had been triggered, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, Xiao Feng was still very polite, smiling and nodding at the two of them before getting into the carriage.

"Da da da……"

Watching the luxurious carriage slowly disappear into the distance, Han Fei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Wei Zhuang, what do you think of this person?"

"Anyone who dares to belittle Ji Wuye in public is either a fool or a powerful madman," Wei Zhuang said indifferently.

"Oh?"

Han Fei asked with a playful expression, "Then I wonder if Brother Wei Zhuang thinks he is the former or the latter?"

"the latter."

Wei Zhuang's sword-like eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in them.

The moment Wei Zhuang made eye contact with Xiao Feng, he felt as if he were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

As a swordsman, Wei Zhuang had great confidence in his intuition; this person was far more complex than he appeared.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei said with a hint of schadenfreude, "In that case, Ji Wuye is going to be in trouble."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

As long as Xiao Feng opposes Ji Wuye, Han Fei naturally hopes that he will become stronger.

On the other side, after Xiao Feng returned to the Xiao residence by carriage, he first took a hot bath to wash away the smell of alcohol before arriving at the villa where Jing Ni lived.

Jingni, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes after sensing someone approaching. She used one hand to protect the baby Yan'er in her swaddling clothes and the other hand to grasp the Jingni sword hidden in her pillow.

"Ma'am, it's me."

Hearing Xiao Feng's reassuring voice, Jing Ni breathed a sigh of relief and then fell into a broad and warm embrace.

Jingni shifted her body, adjusting to a comfortable position, and asked without turning her head, "Didn't you go to Zilan Pavilion? I thought you were going to stay there overnight~"

"Madam, I went to Zilan Pavilion only to gather information and listen to some music."

While climbing the mountain to find lotus flowers, Xiao Feng also fished by the abyss, saying, "Moreover, how can those vulgar women in Zilan Pavilion compare to Madam? How can I let Madam stay alone in her empty room?"

(ω)

Feeling that Xiao Feng's hunting rifle was already cocked, Jing Ni's pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "Don't...don't wake Yan'er up."

"Don't worry, my wife, I will be very gentle."

As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, he freed one hand and gently covered Jing Ni's small mouth.

Twenty thousand words are omitted below...

next morning

Xinzheng City, Xiao Mansion.

Just as Xiao Feng was having breakfast with Jing Ni, a servant came to report that the newly appointed Minister of Justice had arrived and wanted to ask him to cooperate in investigating a case.

Upon hearing this, Jingni's expression changed slightly, and she cast an inquiring glance at Xiao Feng.

"Don't worry, madam. It shouldn't be a big case. I'll be right back."

Xiao Feng patted Jing Ni's thigh, gave her a look that said "stay calm," and then followed the servants to the living room.

When Xiao Feng arrived in the living room, he saw two figures sitting there.

One of the figures was dressed in a magnificent purple robe; it was Han Fei, who had met Xiao Feng briefly the previous night.

The other figure was dressed in a light green robe, with delicate features and a gentle demeanor.

What a pretty girl! No, she's a girl with delicate features!

The handsome young man standing next to Han Fei, looking rather aggrieved, must be Zhang Liang in his youth.

"My name is Xiao Feng. I greet Lord Sikou."

Xiao Feng cupped his hands in greeting to Han Fei and asked directly, "May I ask what brings Lord Sikou here today?"

"Mr. Xiao, are you aware that two murders occurred in Xinzheng last night?"

Xiao Feng frowned slightly and said, "Oh? Is that so? What does that have to do with me?"

"Mr. Xiao, you may not know this, but the victims of those two murder cases had rather special identities."

While observing Xiao Feng's micro-expressions, Han Fei tentatively asked, "One of the deceased was Hongyu, a maidservant of Nongyu from Zilan Pavilion, and the other was Liu Yi, the Left Sima."

Xiao Feng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Both of them met with me last night, and Liu Yi even had a conflict with me. So, Lord Sikou suspects that I am the murderer?"

"Not bad!"

Han Fei nodded affirmatively and asked bluntly, "May I ask, Mr. Xiao, where you were and what you did between midnight and 1 AM last night?"

"Let me think about it~"

Xiao Feng stroked his chin, a look of reminiscence on his face, and said, "Last night I went to Zilan Pavilion to drink and listen to music. I didn't leave until midnight. After returning to the manor, I first took a bath and then went to my room to sleep."

"Is there any witness?"

Facing Han Fei's scrutinizing gaze, Xiao Feng remained unfazed and said, "My maids and mistress can all testify. Should I call them over?"

"Of course!"

"Someone, go and call Xiao Hong and the others, as well as Madam, over here."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, Jing Ni, dressed in fine clothes, along with the four maids who had served Xiao Feng during his bath and change of clothes the previous night, arrived in the living room.

Han Fei first questioned the four maids, because they were all witnesses and therefore quite credible. Han Fei believed they had no reason to lie about such a matter.

Compared to the four maids, Jing Ni, the lady of the Xiao family, is more likely to give false testimony.

"Madam, may I ask if Mr. Xiao stayed with you after taking a bath last night? Did he leave you at any point?"

After Han Fei finished speaking, he stared intently into Jing Ni's eyes, trying to see if there was any flaw in her expression.

"Your Excellency, I can assure you that my master did not leave last night."

Seeing Jing Ni's certainty, Han Fei became even more suspicious of Xiao Feng and couldn't help but question, "Madam, isn't your statement a bit too arbitrary? Can you guarantee that Mr. Xiao didn't leave while you were asleep?"

"I can guarantee that!"

Jing Ni nodded slightly and explained shyly, "My master is strong and energetic. I served him all night until 3:00 to 5:00 before I could rest."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei and Zhang Liang exchanged bewildered glances.

Really?I do not believe!

If Jing Ni wasn't lying, then wouldn't that mean Xiao Feng's sexual intercourse lasted at least several hours last night?

Even the strongest kidneys couldn't withstand that!

Therefore, Han Fei and the others not only did not believe Jing Ni's words, but also felt that she was giving false testimony for Xiao Feng.

What Han Fei and the others didn't know was that although Xiao Feng's kidneys weren't made of iron, they had an extremely strong recovery ability, with one section being stronger than six!

"In that case, we'll take our leave now."

"Please, both of you!"

Since Han Fei had no other evidence to prove that Xiao Feng was the murderer of Liu Yi and Hong Yu, he did not expose Jing Ni's "lie" but left with Zhang Liang.
