Xu Qi'an stood to the side, his expression normal, without making a sound.
This confirmed Li Xuan's suspicions once again that Xu Qi'an was indeed the original owner of the body.
The Yang Ling who traveled from Earth no longer exists.
Just when the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Li Xuan stepped forward and said, "I have a way to handle this."
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Xuan.
Xu Qi'an was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Xuan: "It's him? The one who speaks inexplicably but saved our family."
Li Xuan's talk about hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron in the prison cell left him feeling baffled.
Later, they learned that Li Xuan had saved the Xu family.
He also learned that his cousin, Xu Lingyue, was already betrothed to Li Xuan.
He immediately gave Li Xuan a friendly look.
Upon seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in response.
"who are you?"
At this moment, the arrogant Zhang Xian spoke up and questioned.
The clerk standing to the side, however, changed his expression and asked, "Are you the head constable from the government office?"
Li Xuan was dressed in the uniform of a constable and was quickly recognized.
“That’s right.” Li Xuan replied, “I am Li Xuan, the newly appointed deputy constable of the General Headquarters.”
The government office where he served was the Jingzhao Prefecture, the general government office of the capital.
Changle County Government Office was one of the areas under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture.
In modern terms, it's the difference between Beijing public ammonium and Tongzhou District public ammonium.
So don't be fooled by the fact that he is only a deputy head constable; in reality, his position is above that of the chief constable of Changle County.
"So it's Officer Li."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate spoke in a very polite tone.
Zhang Xian, standing to the side, had a furrowed brow.
But soon, he felt relieved.
He was just a deputy constable in the capital, nothing special.
His patron and backer was his uncle, a fifth-rank official in the imperial court.
Behind the uncle is a connection to the Ministry of Justice.
He arrogantly declared, "Whoever you are, if you dare to use vigilante justice against me, you will face the consequences."
"You!" The magistrate was furious.
He was furious that they dared to be so arrogant in front of the government office.
If it weren't for his fear of the Censor and the Ministry of Justice behind Zhang Xian, he would have already given him dozens of lashes.
Li Xuan stepped forward and approached the magistrate, saying, "I have a way to handle this. Let's separate them and interrogate them individually."
The magistrate nodded and then gave the orders.
Next.
Li Xuan is in prison.
They recreated a scene from a TV drama and intimidated Mrs. Zhang.
Fearing him, he readily confessed everything that had happened.
Then he met with the county magistrate and said, "The matter has been settled."
Upon seeing the confession, the magistrate felt relieved and gratefully said, "Thanks to Officer Li's help, we were able to bring Zhang and Xian to justice."
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "The matter has not been resolved yet."
“Zhang Xian is backed by a Censor, and now he’s even brought in the Ministry of Justice to oversee things. Even if the confession is presented, it will probably be confiscated by the Ministry of Justice, or even altered.”
"The matter may simply fade away."
"Yes," the magistrate said worriedly, "then what should we do?"
Li Xuan's gaze sharpened, and he said, "We cannot reveal the confessions and evidence now."
"We can set a trap, release the person first, and then make a big fuss about it so that everyone knows about it."
"By the way, especially let the night watchman know about this."
"Then we'll hand over the confessions and evidence to the night watchman; at that point, we can catch both Zhang Xian and the censor in one fell swoop."
"Good idea." The county magistrate immediately agreed.
After dealing with this matter.
Li Xuan left the county government office and returned to the prefectural government office.
On the way, he noticed that some of the vendors around him seemed a bit strange.
Having been familiar with the plot, he quickly understood the situation.
This is a group of thieves planning to hijack a prison van.
He arrived at an inn and went inside.
Get into it.
I saw about ten people scattered around, their expressions indifferent and silent.
The wine, sugar, and water on their table remained untouched.
"interesting!"
Li Xuan's lips moved slightly as he spoke.
Li Xuan entered the inn's lobby and was immediately seen by everyone.
Upon seeing the constable's uniform he was wearing, everyone's expression immediately changed.
"A deputy constable, this is troublesome!"
One of them frowned.
But the leader revealed his murderous intent and said, "What's there to be afraid of? He's just an eighth-rank deputy constable."
"If he dares to meddle, we'll deal with him then."
Among them were several eighth-rank masters.
Dealing with an eighth-rank deputy constable is no problem at all.
at this time.
Li Xuan stopped and looked at the crowd, saying, "You're planning to break into the prison cart, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
"Damn it, how did he find out?"
The leader was immediately stunned.
But soon, he revealed a ferocious look.
"kill him!"
"We can't let him reveal our location!"
"Do it!"
At his command, a dozen or so thieves immediately drew their weapons and pounced on Li Xuan.
"Second class merit?"
Li Xuan's lips curled up.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the longsword was drawn.
After a while.
More than a dozen corpses lay dead in the inn, their crimson blood splattered all over the ground.
With Li Xuan's formidable strength comparable to a mid-stage sixth-rank cultivator.
These thieves were no match for us.
They were all easily dealt with, leaving no one alive.
····················
17. Overwhelming a seventh-rank official, Li Yuchun was shocked, and Chu Caiwei arrived.
"Beep beep!"
Just then, a sound came from afar outside.
