Thinking of this, Wei Changxuan was also full of confidence in the future!
"Judging by the time, the tax and silver case should be breaking out soon!"
It's time to show off in front of others and earn some shock points!
That way, there will be more prizes to be won in the lottery, and even more abundant and powerful rewards from across the heavens!
Because he had just cultivated the Devouring Stars Technique, Wei Changxuan underwent a complete transformation, and many impurities in his body were removed.
Moreover, Wei Changxuan looked at Yan Lingji and Janet behind him.
Taking these two stunning beauties out like this will likely cause some unnecessary trouble.
And
Although Wei Changxuan was Wei Yuan's only nephew, none of the night watchmen dared to say anything.
But these are turbulent times, so it's best to avoid causing trouble for my uncle.
Then Wei Changxuan went to the living quarters in the backyard of the night watchman's office.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes,
They then found two more large black robes for Yan Lingji and Janet to cover them.
In this way, no one else knew what Yan Ling Ji and Janet looked like.
Then Wei Changxuan led Yan Lingji and Janet out of the night watchman's office and headed towards the prison of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
After all, when you're going out on business, how can you not bring along a beautiful female bodyguard for close protection?
……
Inside the prison of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
A place where female relatives are imprisoned.
"Young Master Wei, this is the place!"
"The place is full of wanted criminals, so I won't go in."
The prison clerk personally led Wei Changxuan and the man in black robes behind him.
Yan Lingji and Janet, both wearing black straw hats, walked in.
After all, Wei Changxuan, as Wei Yuan's nephew, was considered a young master with a powerful background in the entire capital.
Let alone these minor officials, even the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture would have to give them some face.
Moreover, Wei Changxuan belonged to the night watchman's office, and thus had the right to interrogate this tax case.
Therefore, it is reasonable to interrogate the family members of the perpetrator separately!
"Okay, you can go now! This little bit of silver is a reward for you!"
Wei Changxuan took out ten taels of silver and threw it directly to the clerk.
"Hey, thank you for the reward, Young Master Wei! Thank you, Young Master!"
The clerk took the ten taels of silver and left with a fawning smile on his face.
As soon as Wei Changxuan entered the area where the women were being held, he heard intermittent sobbing.
"Mother, elder sister, Lingyin is so hungry!"
Held in Xu Lingyue's arms, Xu Lingyin, already weak from hunger, kept rubbing her tummy and complaining of being hungry.
"What should we do? If the tax money is lost, not only will the master be beheaded."
Even we women are forced into the brothel, destined to be slaves for life!
I'm fine, but Lingyue, you and Lingyin are still so young, how will you survive in the future!
Wuwuwu..."
In the prison, Xu Pingzhi's wife, Li Ru, was crying while stroking Xu Lingyin's hair.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Xu Lingyue's usually cool expression turned somewhat worried.
"Mother, Lingyue will not let Lingyin go to the brothel. Even if Lingyue has to beg, she will beg them to spare your and Lingyin's lives!"
At this moment, Xu Lingyue, who had a beautiful and refined appearance and a slender and tall figure, also revealed a determined look in her eyes.
"Lingyue, sigh!"
Li Ru saw this and felt a pang of heartache.
“If it were useful to ask those officials for help, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”
We will never regain our freedom unless the tax fraud case is solved.
But in the current situation, there has been no news or progress for several days, and it seems unlikely that a breakthrough can be achieved!
Li Ru was also very worried, but at this point, they had no other choice but to worry and be anxious.
Just as the women of the Xu family were filled with worry and anxiety.
A gentle, warm voice came from behind.
"Miss Lingyue, perhaps I can help you and the Xu family regain their freedom!"
Outside the prison, Wei Changxuan led Yan Lingji, who was wearing a wide black robe and a bamboo hat, and Janet into the prison.
Upon hearing Wei Changxuan's voice, the Xu family women all looked up at the same time.
Soon, at the prison gate, a tall, handsome man with a gentle and refined demeanor came into view.

Chapter 5: Xu Lingyue's Shock, and the Deliciousness of Cucumbers! (Fifth Update)
"Young master... is what you say true? Can you really solve the tax evasion case?"
When Li Ru saw Wei Changxuan, she was also excited and quickly asked him.
Although Xu Lingyue did not speak, her eyes were filled with hope.
Although they were women, none of them knew Wei Changxuan.
But now that someone can help them regain their freedom...
Naturally, he found the handsome young man in front of him extremely pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but become respectful and obedient.
"Of course, I am Wei Changxuan, and I belong to the Night Watchmen's Office. My uncle is Wei Yuan, the number one military god of the Great Feng Dynasty!"
When Wei Changxuan introduced himself, Li Ru and Xu Lingyue, who had been somewhat skeptical, immediately believed him.
It may be very difficult for others to rescue them.
But as Wei Yuan's nephew, even if Wei Changxuan couldn't solve the tax silver case...
But rescuing those women would be an easy task.
At least they wouldn't be sent to the brothel and spend their lives as slaves.
"Young Master Wei, if you can really save us, even if it's just my mother and sister..."
"I would be eternally grateful if they were not allowed into the brothel, and I would be willing to serve you, my lord, as your servant for the rest of my life!"
Xu Lingyue looked at Wei Changxuan, immediately knelt on the ground, and pleaded with him.
"Lingyue, this won't do! You and Lingyin are still too young!"
Then Li Ru knelt down in front of Wei Changxuan, her eyes filled with tears as she pleaded.
"Young Master Wei, if you can rescue my daughters, I am willing to serve you as your servant!"
"Please, sir, save my daughters! We are all innocent!"
At this moment, Wei Changxuan looked at Li Ru, who still retained her charm, and then shook his head and said.
"Please rise, both of you. It's only natural for night watchmen to solve cases; you don't need to be so polite."
You don't need to serve me as a slave or maid; that's all part of my duty!
After Wei Changxuan finished speaking, Li Ru and Xu Lingyue also looked surprised.
I can't believe that there are such fair and selfless people among the night watchmen.
After all, in the current Great Feng Dynasty, every official, from top to bottom, is eager to gain more benefits if they have even a little power.
Even night watchmen are no exception!
Unexpectedly, the handsome young man in front of me was like a breath of fresh air.
Thinking of this, when Xu Lingyue looked up at the handsome Wei Changxuan again,
I immediately felt that this person was not only good-looking, but also had a righteous heart, and I felt a sense of goodwill towards him.
"Don't worry, Miss Xu! I, Wei Changxuan, will definitely keep my promise!"
Wei Changxuan comforted Xu Lingyue and the others.
He silently thought to himself, "Who would truly give without expecting anything in return? Little do they know that what's free is often the most expensive!"
What Wei Changxuan wanted was for Xu Lingyue to serve him willingly!
With the system in place, who would still accept a forced relationship?
"Of course we want them all!"
Then Wei Changxuan looked at Xu Lingyin, who was talking nonsense.
Wei Changxuan also took out a cucumber from his pocket and handed it to Xu Lingyin.
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring much food. I just happened to have a few tender cucumbers on me, so I'll give them to the little girl to quench her thirst!"
When Wei Changxuan reached into his pocket, he used his mind to open the system inventory and took out three juicy cucumbers, which he then handed to Xu Lingyin.
"Ah! Thank you... thank you, big brother!"
Xu Lingyin, who was already hungry and thirsty, immediately regained some energy when she saw that it was food. Without caring whether the cucumber was edible or not, she picked one up and put it in her mouth.
"Ah! This..."
Xu Lingyin had just taken a bite when she suddenly cried out in utter shock.
Li Ru and Xu Lingyue, who were standing nearby, were startled when they heard the noise.
