That is, Li Qiye does not acknowledge that he is engaged to Xu Lingyue.

But would Li Qiye do that?

Lin'an, who was in room number one, became anxious upon hearing this.

"What's going on?!"

"Why did they arrest Li Qiye?!"

Gangzi quickly explained the reason to Lin'an Chu: Li Qiye was implicated because of his engagement.

Lin'an was unconvinced upon hearing this.

"They're not even married yet, why are you arresting him?"

Gangzi didn't know what to say.

Li Qiye has been living in the Xu family's house all along; what's the difference between that and being married?

Lin'an knew things were going badly.

She immediately wanted to go find Emperor Yuanjing.

Pingyang stopped her.

"Lin'an, don't act rashly, observe first."

Pingyang was also shocked at this moment.

She thought to herself, "Didn't Li Qiye kill Zhou Li and his son yesterday? How could he still be targeted in the tax silver case?"

His eyes revealed worry.

She clenched her teeth.

If anything happens to Li Qiye, she will go back and beg her father to save him.

Below, Chu Caiwei, who had been hiding, frowned slightly.

We can only wait and see.

Outside the Jiaofang Department.

Inside a luxurious carriage.

Mu Nanzhi sighed softly.

"How could this happen? I'm so sorry, Yuheng."

Beside her was the Imperial Advisor, Luo Yuheng.

Because of what Mu Nanzhi said yesterday about Nezha, fire control, illusion, and transformation.

She was a little curious.

I'm a little curious about Li Qiye.

Because I don't know that some Taoist sects would never tell such a story.

So today, under Mu Nanzhi's influence and out of my own curiosity about Li Qiye, I've come down to listen.

Who would have thought that something like this would happen?

She shook her head.

"Nothing much, just came out for a walk to clear my head."

Mu Nanzhi felt somewhat guilty.

At that moment, the Commander of the Ministry of Justice waved his hand.

"Take him!"

The guards from the Ministry of Justice immediately rushed towards the stands.

However, at the moment of approach.

"Bang bang bang!"

With a series of clashing sounds and gusts of wind from punches, the guests witnessed the Ministry of Justice's guards being defeated by Li Qiye in an instant.

He was thrown out of the brothel, crying out in pain, unable to get up again.

The Minister of Justice was furious.

"How dare you, Li Qiye, openly arrest me!"

"Aren't you afraid of dying?!"

Li Qiye remained calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about the consequences of his actions.

He gave a slight bow to the surprised guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's all for today's storytelling. I have something to attend to at night."

"If Qi Ye is fortunate enough to be safe and sound, I will tell you all about the demon child Nezha."

After saying that, he strode down from the stands.

The guests readily gave in.

"Mr. Qiye, I'll wait for you."

“That’s right, we’ll wait for you to talk about Nezha again.”

"Mr. Qiye will surely be blessed with great fortune."

Li Qiye clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

"Thank you."

He came before the admiral.

The admiral still wanted to intervene.

He was immediately grabbed by the neck by Li Qiye.

Where are my father-in-law, mother-in-law, wife, and younger sister?

He questioned her directly.

The demonic mark on his forehead was as red as blood, and billowing demonic flames rose behind him.

An intensely hot atmosphere enveloped the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).

Black smoke rose from beneath Li Qiye's feet.

The chilling glint in those eyes sent a cold sweat down the head of the Ministry of Justice; he could almost see himself being burned alive.

“They’re in the Ministry of Justice prison,” he quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye released him.

Some people were horrified.

Li Qiye isn't planning on breaking into the prison, is he?

He said quickly.

"Mr. Qiye, please don't act rashly."

"Yes, please don't be impulsive, Mr. Shichiya."

Li Qiye replied with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm just asking. Although my father-in-law is greedy and lustful, he wouldn't do such a thing."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Li Qiye left the brothel intending to go straight to the prison to hear news of his father-in-law and see if things were still the same.

Someone used metallic sodium to steal the sun!

However, just as they were about to leave...

"Tap tap tap..."

A group of night watchmen, walking in an orderly fashion and making a rumbling sound, approached Li Qiye.

Leading the group was Yang Yan, a fourth-rank martial artist, with Li Yuchun, dressed in silver robes, standing beside him!

The gongs behind them were neatly arranged.

A powerful and imposing aura of martial prowess swept over us, its intensity overwhelming.

Soon, Yang Yan was no more than ten feet away from Li Qiye.

He shouted.

"Li Qiye, surrender."

"The night watchman will investigate matters concerning taxes. If you have been wronged, the night watchman will give you justice."

If you do nothing wrong during the day, you have nothing to fear from the night watchman!

The guests couldn't help but gossip about Yang Yan.

"Oh no, it's the night watchman!"

"Who is this?"

"You don't even know him? He's Yang Yan, a fourth-rank official with a golden gong, and the adopted son of Lord Wei!"

"It's over. We just ran into the Minister of Justice and then we ran into Yang Yan, the Golden Gong. Mr. Qiye is going to be arrested."

In response to Yang Yan's words, Li Qiye shook his head and said, "You're investigating too slowly."

It turned out that Yang Yan had been searching for a long time without finding any clues.

That's why he said that.

Yang Yan, Li Yuchun, and Tongluo behind them all looked displeased.

They were actually told they were too slow at solving cases? You're so arrogant, kid.

The head of the Ministry of Justice secretly smiled.

Their Ministry of Justice and the night watchmen could be considered competitors.

Although it was humiliating to be humiliated by Li Qiye, he was happy to see the night watchman suffer a setback.

"How arrogant! I wonder if he has any real talent or ability!"

Inside the carriage, Luo Yuheng couldn't help but whisper.

Mu Nanzhi became curious.

Shouldn't a young person be like this?

Huaiqing couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Yang Yan's gaze darkened.

"It seems you're not planning to surrender easily."

Li Qiye answered calmly.

"If you're so capable, you can take me down."

"If I can't win, then please let me step over your failures."

"Make way for me, Li Qiye, on a broad road to heaven."

What a rebellious young man!

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan prepared to make a move, and his aura suddenly surged.

But Li Yuchun stepped forward.

“Let me handle this; he’s merely a sixth-rank official.”

Yang Yan nodded, but having observed Li Qiye, he reminded Li Yuchun...

"Watch out, he can use fire magic!"

Li Yuchun nodded, stepped forward, and his figure shot towards Li Qiye like a cannonball.

He directly fed Li Qiye a punch.

The force of each punch sent gusts of wind through the air, causing the faces of the surrounding scholars to sting.
