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

"Zhu Jinluo has been murdered!"

"Something happened!"

The night watchmen were terrified, and their faces all changed drastically.

the other side.

Li Xuan's figure flickered, and he soon appeared at a mansion.

This is not his residence, but Zhu Yang's residence.

Originally, he had planned to come and kill Zhu Yang.

After all, Zhu Yang's conspiracy with Zhang Yi to ambush him meant he was doomed.

However, his plan was to come to Zhu Yang's residence that night and kill him.

Zhu Yang, however, wanted to avenge his son and planned to ambush and kill him outside.

Now that Zhu Yang is dead, Li Xuan will naturally not let go of his money and other valuables.

Anyway, it all came from embezzlement.

The main thing is.

Even if their property is confiscated and returned to the imperial court, it will likely be embezzled by corrupt officials within the court.

In that case, it's better to let him have it.

They quickly entered Zhu Yang's residence and hurried towards the study.

Zhu Yang had only one son, Zhu Chengzhu.

Therefore, there's no need to attack their residence; there's no need to exterminate their entire family.

of course.

Zhu Chengzhu, who is in prison, will certainly not be let go.

After a while.

Inside the study, Li Xuan looted a small amount of money.

"It's impossible that he only has this much money!"

There must be a secret room.

Li Xuan immediately came to a conclusion and began searching for the secret room's mechanisms.

After a while.

Sure enough, the mechanism was triggered at the location of a brick.

A secret room slowly opened.

"Sure enough!"

Li Xuan went inside.

In the secret room, they quickly obtained a lot of evidence against Zhu Yang.

In addition, there was money worth more than 300,000 taels.

"Good boy!"

"When night watchmen embezzled, they indeed made more money and it was much easier for them."

Looking at the wealth that Li Xuan possessed—more than 100,000 taels more than Sun Mingzhong's—he couldn't help but sigh.

Sun Mingzhong was a Supervising Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, a high-ranking official of the third rank, basically holding the same position as Zhu Yang.

but!

If Sun Mingzhong wants to embezzle, he needs to go through a lot of trouble, and there aren't many ways to do so yet.

But Zhu Yang is different!

The night watchman was in charge of monitoring officials, arresting people, confiscating their property, and bringing them to justice.

During a raid, it's easy to tamper with things to facilitate embezzlement.

"No wonder the night watchmen have been plagued with problems in just a few years."

"The mere act of confiscating property can easily corrupt those in positions of power and cause them to lose their original aspirations."

It's too easy to tamper with someone's property during a raid.

After all, apart from the prisoner himself, no one else knows how much he embezzled.

Even the prisoners themselves, due to the sheer number of items, were unaware of the gold and silver they possessed.

Therefore, when the night watchmen raided a house, it was very difficult to detect if they embezzled or tampered with the property.

"But now it all belongs to me."

Li Xuan stored all the gold and silver treasures into his spatial storage.

He then immediately walked out and quickly left the room.

········

"What did you say?"

"Zhu Yang is dead?"

Inside the Haoqi Tower, Nangong Qianrou was startled and her face showed disbelief.

She hasn't left Haoqi Tower yet because she has things to take care of.

·····Requesting flowers·········

Just as they were about to finish dealing with the situation, they heard the news of Zhu Yang's death.

"Take me there to see right now!"

"Nangong Qianrou gave the order."

Although Zhu Yang was a mortal enemy, he was a mid-stage fourth-rank expert. His death in the capital, especially as the night watchman Jinluo, was definitely a big deal.

After a while.

The place where Zhu Yang died.

Nangong Qianrou rushed over quickly.

"Lord Jinluo!"

"Lord Jinluo!"

"Lord Jinluo!"

········

Those present immediately bowed in greeting.

Nangong Qianrou nodded and immediately moved closer.

His pupils contracted when he saw Zhu Yang's body.

"It really is Zhu Yang's corpse!"

"Zhu Yang is really dead!"

But soon, her pupils contracted.

Because Zhu Yang was dressed in black, something was clearly wrong.

"Is Zhu Yang trying to do something bad, only to get killed instead?"

She immediately thought of this possibility.

Since Zhu Yang was the night watchman Jinluo, his inexplicable act of wearing black clothes and a veil clearly indicated ill intentions.

However, his ambush failed, and he was killed instead.

"Who exactly killed Zhu Yang?"

"Anyone who can kill Zhu Yang with a single sword strike must be a third-grade expert!"

Nangong Qianrou said with a solemn expression.

She stepped forward and examined Zhu Yang's body.

The results came out quickly.

"This swordsman's swordsmanship style is exactly the same as the swordsman who destroyed Liu Family Village."

"Zhu Yang was actually killed by this person."

Nangong Qianrou quickly made a decision.

The murderer who killed Zhu Yang is the same person who destroyed Liu Family Village.

Li Xuan only learned three sword techniques, so he could only switch between three styles.

Therefore, it was inevitable that Nangong Qianrou would discover the situation.

of course.
