All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Just as Zongzhui was about to give Fan Xian a clue about the patrol officer, Fan Xian already had a direction of his own.

“Zongzhui, the Second Prince can be ruled out as a suspect. He has absolutely no reason to assassinate me.”

"He specially invited me to dinner, but then arranged an assassination attempt. That was really stupid."

"When I first arrived in the capital, I was cautious and did not tell anyone except my father where the meeting place was."

"There's one more person who knew I was going to pass through Niulan Street, and that's the courtesan Ruowei!"

Zongzhui was somewhat puzzled, "Why does Your Excellency think that the courtesan Ruowei is a suspect?"

She was just a courtesan, why would she assassinate you?

Fan Xian recalled, "When she was drinking with customers before, I could smell poison and sedatives on her."

"Although it was very faint, I studied poison with my teacher for many years, and I could smell it as soon as I got close."

"Therefore, this courtesan's identity is definitely not simple; she must at least come from a martial arts sect like Langya Pavilion!"

Zong Zhui said, "We shouldn't delay. Zui Xian Ju isn't far. Let's go take a look first!"

Zongzhui said this because he was worried that Zhuge would get there first, since Zhuge had more clues than Fan Xian.

It was just evening, and the most popular girls hadn't started their shifts yet.

Relying on his status as a member of the Surveillance Bureau, Fan Xian barged into Ruowei's room. Upon seeing Fan Xian's arrival, Ruowei beamed with joy.

"Young martial arts champion, Master Fan, it's been so long since you've come. I've missed you terribly."

"That night, you snuggled into his arms so tightly, but then you were too scared to stay overnight. Now you regret it, don't you..."

Fan Xian did indeed snuggle into the girl's arms, and not only snuggled in, but snuggled in very deep, because he wanted to smell the medicine!

Hearing the courtesan's words, Fan Xian immediately interrupted, "Nothing happened that night... I have something urgent to tell you!"

"What's the deal with the poison and drug on you? What is your true identity?!"

Ruowei was, after all, Si Lili's subordinate, and her abilities in various aspects were not very strong. She became somewhat nervous upon hearing Fan Xian's words.

But Fan Xian was anxious. If Ruowei was a spy from Northern Qi, then Zhu Ge's men would arrive immediately.

With a charming smile, she pressed herself tightly against Fan Xian.

"Young Master Fan, you're so fierce..."

Fan Xian shoved her away. "Zong Zhui, watch the door and stand guard outside!"

Zong Zhui went outside and closed the door. Suddenly, a woman screamed from inside the room!

Each cry was louder and more mournful than the last!

Zong Zhui couldn't resist going in to see how Fan Tisi tortured that little beauty; it sounded exciting!

Seeing that a crowd was gradually gathering and discussing, Zong Zhui flew into a rage, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a fancy trick before? Move aside, move aside..."

Fifteen minutes later, a furious shout suddenly came from the stairwell!

"The Supervisory Service is handling a case; make way immediately!"

Zongzhui looked down and saw a dozen or so officials already climbing the steps upstairs.

"boom!"

Zong Zhui opened the door and saw Fan Xian grinning as he spoke to Ruo Wei.

Ruowei's face was deathly pale, she was covered in sweat, and her whole body was trembling, as if she had just experienced a great battle.

"Sir, the men from our unit have arrived!"

Fan Xian sneered, "Perfect timing, let's go from the other side!"

At this moment, Ruowei cried out, "Lord Fan, you promised to protect my life and reputation!"

Fan Xian called out from afar, "If what you say is true, I will never go back on my word!"

The two escaped through the back door, only to hear that the First Division of the Surveillance Bureau had arrested Ruowei and two other popular girls.

Zong Zhui asked curiously, "My lord, did you get any results from the questioning?"

Fan Xian smiled smugly, "We found out. She and the two girls who were just arrested are all spies from Northern Qi!"

“I did tell Ruowei about my whereabouts on Niulan Street; she was also her mentor, Si Lili!”

"Si Lili had contact with two female assassins dressed in white and masked. The female swordsmen's master was a young master, but Ruowei and the others didn't see his face."

Zong Zhui exclaimed in admiration, "My lord, you have truly remarkable skills! You uncovered the clue of Si Lili in just one go!"

Fan Xian continued, "Si Lili is the key to this case; she definitely knows the mastermind behind the assassination!"

"The good news is that we knew about Si Lili before Zhu Ge did."

"The bad news is that Si Lili fled long ago after learning that the assassination attempt had failed!"

In fact, Zhu Ge knew about Si Lili even earlier than Fan Xian, because the Eldest Princess had already sent someone to inform Zhu Ge.

Si Lili's team of spies was an open secret to Li Yunrui. Since the assassination mission had failed, Si Lili, who had met Lin Gong, had to be silenced.

Now that Si Lili has escaped, Zhu Ge has laid a trap and begun to hunt her down.

Si Lili's subordinates, namely the three popular girls including Ruowei, had never met Lin Gong.

However, they were genuine spies of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and naturally became Zhu Ge's medals of honor.

"Zong Zhui, you are known as the Wing of the Surveillance Bureau, and you are most skilled in light footwork and tracking techniques. I wonder if you have any way to catch up with Si Lili?"

Zong Zhui replied, "The city gates are closed tonight. We'll set off again tomorrow morning. With our combined lightness skills, we should have a good chance of catching up with Si Lili!"

Royal study room.

Li Chang'an was summoned at the last minute and stood there bored, listening to Emperor Qing yell at his two sons.

He had just recounted to Emperor Qing the story of Xing Yusen and Wang Qinian killing the assassin.

After all, neither the Surveillance Bureau nor the Guardians arrived at the scene immediately, so the Shadow Guard's information was the most reliable.

Emperor Qing roared at his two sons, "Who carried out today's assassination attempt?!"

Li Chang'an now believes that Emperor Qing is fully aware of the true culprit, Li Yunrui.

There are very few people in the Great Qing Kingdom who can mobilize the forces of the Northern Qi, and given his grudge against Fan Xian, Li Yunrui is the only one who can do so.

The Qin family, another family with a grudge against Fan Xian, killed Ye Qingmei back then.

However, very few people know that Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son.

Emperor Qing used this incident to hone Fan Xian, train the Crown Prince, trick the Second Prince, and incidentally keep Li Chang'an busy.

Therefore, Li Chang'an was extremely bored.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince knelt side by side, their faces extremely solemn.

The Crown Prince prostrated himself on the ground, saying, "Although I may have been foolish, I would never have been so arrogant!"

The Second Prince stood tall and spoke firmly, "Your subject and Fan Xian are very good friends, there is no reason for me to kill him!"

Emperor Qing roared, "Then tell me, who did it!"

The Crown Prince said, "The murderers are all assassins from Northern Qi. This must be a conspiracy by Northern Qi!"

The Second Prince retorted, "Fan Xian just won the Junior Martial Arts Championship; he shouldn't incur the hatred of Northern Qi!"

"If Northern Qi really wants to kill people to diminish Daqing's prestige, then Prince Yong is the best choice!"

"Therefore, I believe that this matter was not planned by Northern Qi!"

Li Chang'an couldn't help but say, "Chengze, you shouldn't drag me into this at a time like this."

"My Shadow Guards already have two ninth-rank members. If Northern Qi wants to kill me, I'm afraid Lang Tao will have to do it himself."

Emperor Qing said, "Chengze is right. There is absolutely no way Northern Qi could assassinate Fan Xian!"

Li Chengze continued, "If that's the case, then whoever has a grudge against Fan Xian is the one who did it!"

“More than a month ago, when Fan Xian entered the capital, someone tried to ruin his reputation. As my son helped Fan Xian’s reputation gradually improve, someone tried to kill him.”

"The person who wanted to kill Fan Xian was the same person who tried to ruin his reputation!"

The Crown Prince quickly retorted, "How could Second Brother utter such a malicious remark! Doesn't he know how terrifying public opinion can be!"

"I sent Guo Baokun to do everything in my power to clear Fan Xian's name, but he failed at the last minute."

"Daqing Chess Saint's reputation was just one step away from being established, but Wan'er ruined it."

Li Chengze snorted coldly, "Your subject suspects that the Crown Prince deliberately sent a good-for-nothing like Guo Baokun to help Fan Xian!"

"Guo Baokun has made Fan Xian's reputation even worse in both the poetry gathering and the chess master incident!"

The Crown Prince suddenly realized that he was not angry when Guo Baokun messed things up; it turned out that he subconsciously hoped that Guo Baokun would mess things up!

Li Chang'an stroked his chin, looking as if he had just realized something. The little alpaca was right; the Crown Prince was definitely doing it on purpose.

Emperor Qing roared, "Enough! I ask you, will killing solve the problem?"

The crown prince said, "The world is full of troubles and countless problems; how can killing solve them?"

The second prince also kowtowed and said, "Your subject also thinks it is not possible."

Emperor Qing said sarcastically, "I think it's acceptable!"
