"I'm here to take you all back. The tax case has been solved, so you can leave now!"
Xu Lingyue and Li Ru were also shocked when they heard Wei Changxuan's words.
"What? The tax evasion case has been solved?! So quickly?"
It's no wonder the two women were shocked; less than an hour had passed since Wei Changxuan said he would help them solve the tax silver case.
Solving the case so quickly, you're practically a genius detective!
At this moment, the minor official next to Wei Changxuan immediately spoke up.
"Hmph, you guys don't know yet!"
Young Master Wei discovered the inconsistencies after only glancing at the dossier, and then used his alchemy to turn lead into silver.
You were supposed to go through a process, and it wouldn't be released so quickly.
But Young Master Wei is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you suffer here.
"It was only because I directly vouched for you, the principal offenders' wives and daughters, that you were allowed to leave today!"
Hearing the words of the clerk beside them, Li Ru and Xu Lingyue were once again shocked and moved.
They never expected that the dignified Young Master Wei would personally vouch for them, just so they could leave sooner.
Compared to the outside environment, who would want to stay in this dark, damp, and stinking prison?
"Young Master Wei, I truly have no way to repay your great kindness!"
Li Ru immediately led Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingyin to kneel down and kowtow to Wei Changxuan.
"It was nothing! Please rise, Madam. It was just rescuing a few of you women."
However, since Lord Xu is the principal offender, we must wait for His Majesty's decision.
Moreover, you cannot go home after you leave; you can only stay at the night watchman's office!
I can only go back after this case is finally settled.
I hope you understand!
Wei Changxuan said this so that Li Ru and Xu Lingyue could stay in his residence.
After all, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first!
The excuse, of course, is the same as bail, meaning you can't leave the designated area.
Anyway, they won't go to talk to the prefect.
"Of course, no problem. In that case, we'll have to trouble Young Master Wei even more."
Li Ru naturally had no objection to this. The fact that they were able to save her was already a huge favor, so how could she dare to complain?
When Xu Lingyue heard that she would be staying in Wei Changxuan's living room, a blush appeared on her fair and delicate face.
After all, she was still an unmarried girl, and she was living directly in a young man's house.
In a feudal society, it would be no different from getting married directly.
However, she still had no objections.
Not only was Wei Changxuan's living room a hundred times better than a dark, damp, and foul-smelling prison cell, but it was also a better place for him.
Her mother and sister's health has also improved significantly.
Moreover, she had no aversion to it, and she gradually began to pay attention to Wei Changxuan and even developed some affection for him.
Besides, the other party was considered her family's savior, so she would agree to be a slave or servant.
"Since no one has any objections, let's go and let Lord Xu know we're safe and sound, then come back to the manor with me!"
Soon, Li Ru, along with Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingyin, quickly tidied up and arrived at another prison.
This is where male prisoners are held.
Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi'an were also there.
Chapter 10 Nothing to do today, let's go to the brothel to listen to music! (Fourth update)
Inside the prison.
Wei Changxuan led the women to the road where Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi'an were being held.
At this moment, Wei Changxuan led the way while checking the shock value displayed by the system.
"In addition to his previous public displays of power in front of Chu Caiwei, the Prefect, Li Yuchun, and others..."
The shock value has accumulated by more than a thousand points.
The shock value from the fruit cucumber also brought the total shock value to over two thousand.
This means I can participate in the lottery twice more.
Wei Changxuan was extremely satisfied with this and looked forward to accumulating enough for a five-pull or a ten-pull soon!
……
Soon, Wei Changxuan led the girls to their destination.
"Xu Pingzhi, Xu Qi'an, someone is visiting them in prison!"
The clerk in front shouted loudly, then turned around and said to Wei Changxuan respectfully and obsequiously.
"Young Master Wei, then I shall take my leave!"
"Well, let's go!"
Wei Changxuan waved his hand, tossed a piece of silver over, and dismissed the clerk.
"A prison visit? Is it because the New Year is coming?"
In the prison, Xu Pingzhi, with his hands and feet in shackles, was already in a sorry state.
The only person he could think of was his own son, Xu Xinnian, the disciple in the academy who could be spared imprisonment.
"Master, it's us! We've come to see you!"
Li Ru, Xu Lingyue, and Xu Lingyin, who were next to Wei Changxuan, also came to the prison gate and began to cry slightly when they saw Xu Pingzhi's appearance.
"Huh? Weren't you guys arrested and thrown in jail? How come you're here?"
Xu Pingzhi stared at his wife and daughter in shock, hardly believing his eyes.
Upon hearing Xu Pingzhi's words, Li Ru and the other women immediately recounted how Wei Changxuan had helped them and how he had solved the case and vouched for them.
While the women were stating the facts, Wei Changxuan was looking at Xu Qi'an in the prison.
What puzzled Wei Changxuan was that Xu Qi'an did not show any signs of being a time traveler at this time.
Moreover, judging from the appearance, there is no difference in behavior between them and people in this world!
Thinking about this, Wei Changxuan was also puzzled.
Regardless of whether Xu Qi'an had truly traveled through time, he would keep an eye on him from behind.
Upon learning everything, Xu Pingzhi immediately bowed and knelt before Wei Changxuan.
"Thank you, Young Master Wei, for your great kindness to my Xu family. I, Xu Pingzhi, will never be able to repay you even if I die!"
"Lord Xu, there's no need for such formalities. It was merely a small favor for me."
Moreover, Lord Xu followed my uncle in his early years, fighting his way through countless battles in the Battle of Shanhai Pass. He is a veteran of many battles and should not have died unjustly!
Upon hearing Wei Changxuan's words, Xu Pingzhi was deeply moved.
What soldiers fear most is having their deeds buried?
I never expected that Young Master Wei would know about his glorious past. He's a true friend!
In a short time, he found Wei Changxuan more and more pleasing to the eye.
Such a loyal and devoted person, how wonderful it would be if he were my son-in-law!
Afterwards, Wei Changxuan asked Li Ru, Xu Lingyue, and the other girls to exchange pleasantries, greetings, and a few words of advice with Xu Pingzhi.
It was time for the prison visit.
Under Xu Pingzhi's reluctant gaze, Wei Changxuan led the women out of the prison and out of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
“Lingyue, you have just been released from prison and are still weak. I have hired a carriage to take you back to my residence.”
Then Wei Changxuan spoke to Yan Lingji behind him.
"You go with them, take my token, and go directly to the official residence in the government office."
"Yes, Master!"
Yan Lingji respectfully accepted Wei Changxuan's token. With this token, she could roam freely throughout the entire night watchman's office.
Even meeting Wei Yuan directly would be acceptable.
Moreover, as Wei Yuan's nephew, Wei Changxuan naturally lived in a very good place.
Inside the government office in the capital, there was a detached three-courtyard house that could easily accommodate all the women.
Moreover, Yan Lingji has already mastered the basics of the Devouring Starry Sky Technique, making her a match for most eighth and ninth-rank martial artists.
"Young master's consideration is truly thorough. Thank you so much, young master! You've really gone to so much trouble!"
After helping her mother and sister onto the carriage, Xu Lingyue stood in front of the carriage and looked at Wei Changxuan somewhat awkwardly.
"Lingyue, it sounds a bit distant for you to still call me Young Master!"
I'm only a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me "brother"!
Upon hearing Wei Changxuan's words, a blush appeared on Xu Lingyue's originally somewhat aloof face.
"Alright... then Brother Changxuan, you go ahead and attend to your important matters! We'll go back with this lady!"
Xu Lingyue spoke with a blush on her fair and delicate face.
"Yes, she's arranged everything for you! You've suffered in prison these past few days, go back and get some rest!"
Afterwards, Wei Changxuan had Yan Lingji lead the women back to his residence in a carriage.
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Wei Changxuan also withdrew his gaze.
Now that the important business is done, it's time to relax!
