Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

Just right.

He also wanted to use the successful cracking of the tax silver case to gain merit and win the favor of the Imperial Observatory and the night watchmen.

This would facilitate his future promotion and allow him to join the night watchmen in order to deal with Zhou Shilang and others.

"fine."

Li Xuan glanced at Xu Qi'an.

He then turned and slowly walked away.

"This is so absurd!"

Watching Li Xuan leave, Xu Qi'an curled his lip.

···········

noon the next day.

Li Xuan was in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the game to refresh.

at this time.

"Dudududu!"

There was a knock on the door outside.

Li Xuan went outside.

Upon opening the courtyard gate, two men dressed as night watchmen stood outside with gongs.

"Night watchman?"

Upon seeing this, Li Xuan's eyebrows twitched.

A man with a gong saw Li Xuan and asked, "Li Xuan?"

Li Xuan nodded: "It's me!"

The night watchman, Tongluo, nodded and said, "There are still some matters concerning Liu Kun and Zhang San from yesterday. We need you to go to the government office with us."

Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.

"Lead the way!"

Soon, he left the courtyard, followed by two night watchmen who gonged.

Shortly after.

We arrived at the main hall of the government office.

Upon entering, Li Xuan saw three figures.

One of those seated at the head of the table was the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

On the lower right is the night watchman, Jinluo, played by Yang Yan.

On the lower left, a pretty young girl with big eyes was sitting.

The girl had a flat chest with small A-cups; she had a pretty, delicate oval face, bright, sparkling eyes, and clear, baby-like whites that made her look extremely pure.

She was holding a plate of snacks, and happily put them into her mouth with her delicate hands, munching away.

It was Chu Caiwei, the sixth disciple of the Director of the Imperial Observatory.

When Chu Caiwei saw Li Xuan, her almond-shaped eyes lit up.

What a handsome young man!

She couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

But soon, he was drawn back to the delicious snacks in his hand and continued to enjoy them.

At this time.

The prefect, seated above, spoke with an imposing voice: "You are Li Xuan?"

Li Xuan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and calmly said, "I am Li Xuan."

Seeing Li Xuan's calm demeanor, Jin Luo Yang Yan's expression flashed strangely.

A lowly prison guard, when facing important figures like the night watchman Jinluo and the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, displayed remarkable composure and humility.

This is truly rare and unexpected.

Looking at the prefect, Li Xuan asked, "Your Excellency, has there been any result regarding Liu Kun's matter?"

As soon as these words fell.

Chu Caiwei, Jinluo Yang Yan, and the Prefect were stunned on the spot.

The three of them also wanted to get some secrets from Li Xuan.

But unexpectedly, before I could even ask anything...

Instead, Li Xuan asked him a question first.

After a moment of stunned silence, the prefect gave Li Xuan a deep look and said, "The matter of Liu Kun has been resolved."

"He has confessed to conspiring with Zhang San to kill the Xu family."

Li Xuan frowned and asked, "That's it?"

"Didn't Liu Kun reveal who was behind it all?"

Yang Yan spoke up: "Liu Kun has already confessed the truth. He said that the person behind the scenes is Zhou Li, the son of Vice Minister Zhou."

"Did they capture Zhou Li?" Li Xuan continued.

Yang Yan gently shook his head: "Although the night watchman confirmed that Liu Kun was not lying, he only made a verbal statement and there is no evidence to convict Zhou Li."

"Moreover, the person he communicated with was just one of Zhou Li's lackeys; coincidentally, this lackey suddenly died late last night."

"Therefore, all evidence and clues have disappeared, making it impossible to hold Zhou Li accountable."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's gaze darkened.

But soon, he felt relieved.

He had anticipated this situation.

Now that Liu Kun has been eliminated, it can be considered that revenge has been temporarily avenged.

As for Zhou Li and the others, we'll deal with them later.

At this moment, Yang Yan continued, "Also, we learned from Liu Kun that he once asked you to poison the Xu family."

"If you disagree, I'll watch you die with my own hands later."

"Li Xuan, how did you survive?"

After speaking, Yang Yan stared intently at Li Xuan.

Based on Liu Kun's statement, it was confirmed that Li Xuan had drunk the poisoned wine and was dead.

but now!

Li Xuan, however, survived.

Moreover, they thwarted Liu Kun's plot last night and even seriously injured him.

The situation and the strength displayed here are clearly very wrong.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

Li Xuan's heart stirred; he had already thought of this step.

However, his expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion.

He calmly stated, "I did drink the poisoned wine, and I was poisoned."

"As for why I didn't die, it's because I was lucky enough to get a spiritual fruit at the market a few days ago."

"It is probably because he took the spiritual fruit in advance that he was able to resist the corrosive effects of the poison and survive by chance."

Yang Yan frowned, clearly not believing this claim.

Li Xuan said, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate."

Yang Yan immediately stood up and walked over quickly.

Then he used his cultivation technique to explore Li Xuan's body.

After some exploration.

"They were indeed poisoned."

"The toxins in your body are exactly the same as what Liu Kun said, there's no mistake."

"And the fact that you possess the energy of the spiritual fruit within you is not a lie."

"It seems you're certain that you resisted the poison thanks to the energy of the spiritual fruit."

Yang Yan's brows relaxed.

However, this did not completely dispel the doubts.

He looked at Li Xuan and continued, "Since you knew that Liu Kun was planning to poison the Xu family, why didn't you report it sooner?"
