Martial Arts World: The Devouring Star Technique Destroys the Great Feng Dynasty

"Wei Changxuan?! He must be a night watchman too! Li Yinluo, what do you think?"

Chen Guanghan pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Li Yuchun.

"Since neither Miss Caiwei nor the Prefect has any clues about this case, why not let Young Master Wei give it a try?"

This silver gong also knows something about Young Master Wei.

Although his martial arts cultivation level is still only at the eighth rank, making him a bronze gong (a low-ranking martial artist),

However, as the nephew of the Duke of Wei, he was not some spoiled brat, so he should have had some confidence in what he said.

Even if Young Master Wei fails to solve the case, it won't have any significant impact; it will simply bring us back to square one.

"Alright, let him give it a try! There's no need to offend Lord Wei over this!"

However, none of them have any leads, so it seems unlikely that the case will be solved in the end.

Prefect Chen Guanghan immediately instructed a minor official to invite Wei Changxuan in.

Soon, Wei Changxuan, with his imposing presence and tall, slender figure, entered, accompanied by Yan Lingji and Janet, both dressed in black robes.

"Wei Changxuan greets everyone!"

Wei Changxuan nodded slightly and bowed.

"Not at all, Young Master Wei, please don't stand on ceremony!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Wei Changxuan got straight to the point and went to the file.

At this moment, Li Yuchun frowned and looked at Janet, who was wearing a black robe.

He could vaguely sense that this person was quite strong, perhaps even stronger than the Golden Gong, one of the night watchmen!

Unexpectedly, Wei Changxuan had such a powerful protector by his side.

It seems that Lord Wei has indeed been very protective of his only nephew!

He felt even more respect for Wei Changxuan.

Because of Wei Changxuan's special status, even though he brought two unidentified men in black robes into the archives, Prefect Chen Hanguang pretended not to see them.

After all, Li Yuchun was also giving him a meaningful look, telling him that the people around Wei Changxuan were powerful experts at the Golden Rooster level.

Don't offend people rashly.

Chu Caiwei had been scrutinizing Wei Changxuan ever since he entered the room.

Because of what the supervisor said to the night watchman a few days ago.

Chu Caiwei began to suspect that the person her teacher was talking about might be Wei Changxuan!

Chapter 7 Solving the Tax Silver Case, Chu Caiwei's Desire! (First Update)

Chu Caiwei's close observation now also made Wei Changxuan feel something.

However, he didn't say anything. After briefly glancing at the case file, he immediately pointed out its inconsistencies.

"Since this file says that monsters were involved at the time..."

"Then may I ask Miss Caiwei of the Imperial Observatory, did your Imperial Observatory find any traces left by the demon race at the scene?"

After a moment's thought, Caiwei immediately said with certainty.

"Our Observatory has used every means and treasure we have, but we have not found any trace of the demon race at the scene!"

"In that case, this is actually a fabricated case designed to mislead everyone."

Wei Changxuan's handsome face was filled with a resolute and confident expression.

"Man-made? But what about that strange wind and that explosion?"

At this moment, Prefect Chen Guanghan stroked his chin and asked with some doubt.

"This is obviously caused by someone stirring up trouble!"

That eerie wind was merely a smokescreen; as for the silver exploding in the water, I have a simple substitute.

Then, Wei Changxuan said to Li Yuchun.

"Li Yinluo, you've also looked through the case file. Didn't you notice any problems with it?"

"Is there a problem with this file?"

Li Yuchun frowned slightly, picked up the file again and looked at it once more, but found nothing wrong with it!

"Gentlemen, since this file states that Xu Pingzhi was escorting 150,000 taels of silver..."

They entered the city on a slow horse at 2:45 AM, but arrived at Guangnan Street at 1:15 AM.

As you may know, the 150,000 taels of silver pulled by these crossbows weighed a staggering 9,375 catties.

Guangnan Street is a full thirty li from the South Gate. Even with a slow horse, the journey would take passing through four bustling markets.

It's simply impossible to achieve that in such a short time!

"this……!"

Chu Caiwei, the prefect, and Li Yuchun, who were present, immediately showed a look of shock upon hearing Wei Changxuan's words.

"Indeed, with the strength of a slow horse, it would be impossible to pull such a heavy load in such a short time!"

At this moment, Li Yuchun seemed to have discovered a new continent, and immediately realized the truth.

This is the biggest flaw!

"So that means the cart might not be carrying silver at all! But something else entirely?"

Chu Caiwei pouted slightly, picked up a sugarcane in each hand, and began to think.

"Impossible. Xu Pingzhi personally witnessed the handover of the silver, and many people saw him fall into the water."

The car was filled with silver; how could it be anything else?

At this moment, Prefect Chen raised an objection, as he was also having a bit of a headache.

Although he understood some of the question about the old horse.

But how did the money being transported in the cart change into something else?

At this moment, Wei Changxuan looked up at Chu Caiwei and found that the beautiful girl was also looking at him.

And with her big, beautiful eyes wide open, she looked both puzzled and adorable!

"Sometimes, what you see isn't necessarily the truth!"

Wei Changxuan picked up the pen on the desk and quickly wrote down some materials.

"I would like to trouble you, Your Excellency, to prepare these things for me. I can then clear up your doubts!"

Chu Caiwei had been keeping an eye on Wei Changxuan, and when she saw him writing something, she naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity and immediately went over to take a look.

"Candles, salt, porcelain cups, wire..."

After reading it, the girl shook her head, completely bewildered.

The prefect and Li Yuchun, who were standing nearby, took the Xuan paper, examined it carefully, and then exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

They have no idea what these things are actually for.

However, since Wei Changxuan had said it would help solve the case, Prefect Chen Hanguang naturally ordered his men to make preparations immediately.

Soon, everything Wei Changxuan needed was prepared.

At this point, what Wei Changxuan needed to do was naturally to extract metallic sodium.

For Wei Changxuan, who cultivated the Devouring Starry Sky Technique and the Nine-fold Thunder Blade, this was incredibly easy.

Soon, something that looked almost silver appeared in Wei Changxuan's hand.

"It really is silver?! No! It looks just like silver!"

The prefect immediately said excitedly.

In this way, the tax and silver case is about to be solved.

Meanwhile, Chu Caiwei and Li Yuchun, standing nearby, saw that Wei Changxuan had indeed relied on some simple techniques.

They were shocked to find that something that looked like silver had appeared out of thin air.

"As for the explosion, that's even simpler!"

As Wei Changxuan spoke, he threw the metallic sodium directly into the brush-washing jar next to him.

boom!

After a loud bang, the entire brush-washing jar was blown to pieces.

This scene left Chu Caiwei, Prefect Chen, and Li Yuchun looking at each other in shock.

At this moment, Wei Changxuan also heard the system's notification in his mind.

"Congratulations, host! You have gained 100 Shock Points!"

"Congratulations, host! You have gained 100 Shock Points!"

"Congratulations, host! You have gained 100 Shock Points!"

……

At this moment, Chu Caiwei also asked in shock.

"You...you're an alchemist?"

"No, it's just some basic chemistry knowledge!"

Wei Changxuan waved his hand, took out a book called "Complete Guide to High School Chemistry" from his pocket, opened a page and said.

"See? This chemical reaction we just witnessed is recorded here; it's just one of many in this vast encyclopedia of knowledge!"

When Chu Caiwei saw the book "Complete Guide to High School Chemistry" in Wei Changxuan's hand...

Hearing that the alchemical knowledge he had just heard was only one of many,

Chu Caiwei stopped eating snacks and even stopped chewing sugarcane.

A deep longing shone in his eyes!
