People in the Imperial Music Bureau: The Storytelling Demon Child Nezha

"I must report this matter to His Majesty!"

Prefect Chen dared not linger.

These three women make a drama, and besides, each of them is someone he can't afford to offend.

Prefect Chen departed.

A prison official came.

"Mr. Qiye, please come with me."

Li Qiye nodded and then thanked Huaiqing.

"Princess Huaiqing, Li Qiye owes you a favor today."

"If the princess ever encounters any trouble in the future, Li Qiye will certainly lend a hand."

After saying this, he followed the prison clerk to the Ministry of Justice's prison.

Huaiqing stared intently at Li Qiye until his figure disappeared, then turned around.

"Go back to the palace!"

Seeing this, Lin'an quickly followed.

Although she didn't get along with Huaiqing, she still wanted to talk to him.

Let her know that Li Qiye is hers.

Chu Caiwei also hurried back, as she wanted to tell her master about these things.

Yang Yancai had just arrived when he realized that he had to go back to report.

He took a deep look in the direction Li Qiye had gone, and then his figure vanished in an instant!

Wang Simu, who had been gazing intently, breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze both firm and admiring.

Her determination to win over Li Qiye and her admiration for him.

The case was solved in a split second just now; it was truly astonishing!

Inside the carriage, Mu Nanzhi finally came to her senses. From Li Qiye's deduction the instant he received the news, she was quite shocked by the fact that this number one beauty of Da Feng was truly remarkable.

Of course, Luo Yuheng was no less impressive.

She discovered so many suspicious points just from hearing the news; she had never heard of such a thing before.

"Let's go, Nanzhi tomorrow, let's listen to a story."

Luo Yuheng also took a deep look.

.......

On Huaiqing's carriage.

Lin'an speaks frankly.

"Huaiqing, Li Qiye is mine. You'd better give up on that idea."

“I’ve already decided to take him as my lover.”

Huaiqing was taken aback when he heard this.

Do you understand the intentions of a male concubine?

Lin'an nodded, "Of course I know, like a male concubine."

Huaiqing couldn't help but smile slightly, "You knew that, yet you still dared to do it?"

Lin An snorted, "Why wouldn't I dare? You failed, but I'm sure I'll succeed."

Huaiqing's competitive spirit also kicked in, and he immediately refused to give an inch.

"Then it'll depend on each person's own abilities."

Lin'an was in a hurry.

..........

Prison Department of Punishment.

Although it was a prison, it wasn't as dark and damp as Li Qiye had imagined.

To be honest, the prisons in Kyoto are different.

Of course, the bloody instruments of torture were particularly conspicuous when passing by the interrogation room.

Presumably, although it was clean, the torture would still leave the skin and flesh torn open.

As Li Qiye walked through the prison cells, he immediately heard sighs and groans.

"It's unjust."

“I, Xu Pingzhi, did not embezzle tax silver.”

It was my father-in-law's voice.

Li Qiye couldn't help but find it amusing.

Then I heard my mother-in-law's voice.

"Stop yelling."

"I wonder if Nian'er will be implicated because of this!"

Hearing his mother-in-law's imposing manner, Li Qiye knew that they had not been punished.

"I wonder if Brother Qiye and his elder brother have been arrested."

The melodious sound is Lingyue.

Her voice was filled with worry and faint sobs.

Next up was the father-in-law.

"Qi Ye has also been implicated because of me. He and Ning Yan have probably been arrested as well."

Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, as long as I wasn't arrested, Ning Yan wouldn't know."

His voice surprised Li Ru, Xu Pingzhi, and Xu Lingyue.

Look in the direction of the sound.

Who else could it be but Li Qiye, with his handsome face?

"Brother Qiye!" (Xu Lingyue)

"Seven Nights!" (Li Ru, Xu Pingzhi)

Upon seeing Li Qiye, Xu Lingyue burst into tears of joy.

Li Ru and Xu Pingzhi were overjoyed.

"Seven Nights Pot".

That's Little Bean's voice.

Li Qiye walked over and stopped in front of Xu Lingyue.

The girl's tears were deeply moving.

Li Qiye calmed it down.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Xu Lingyue pressed her soft hand tightly against him.

If it weren't for the prison cell, she probably would have crawled straight into Li Qiye's arms.

Xu Pingzhi asked out of curiosity.

"Seven Nights, how come you weren't arrested?"

Li Qiye replied, "I was a storyteller at the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau). Caiwei, the lady from the Imperial Observatory, the eldest princess, and the princess of Lin'an all protected me because they enjoyed listening to storytelling."

Upon hearing this, Li Ru quickly said.

"Seven Nights, then please speak to the Princess for us. We are innocent."

Li Qiye pretended to sigh and lament.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, Mother-in-law,"

"But I can't even protect myself right now."

Upon hearing this, Li Ru's expression darkened.

Xu Pingzhi also knew that it was already a great blessing that Li Qiye was not arrested. If the murderer could not be found, the crime he committed would be a capital offense!

150,000 taels of silver!

Xu Pingzhi then said.

"Seven Nights, go and find Cijiu. He is a student of Yunlu Academy."

"With Dean Zhao Shou here, he shouldn't be sentenced to death."

To be fair, Yunlu Academy still enjoys considerable prestige in Dafeng, even if we don't mention Confucianism.

Even if something like this happens, Xu Xinnian will be fine; he will only be stripped of his student status.

Perhaps out of consideration for Li Qiye, they might not revoke his student status.

Xu Pingzhi continued.

"You and he should leave the capital. Ning Yan will probably be exiled to the frontier. Promise your father-in-law that you will take good care of them."

Li Qiye nodded "solemnly".

I almost burst out laughing inside.

Xu Lingyue felt bitter inside.

"Brother Qiye, don't worry about us. Lingyue isn't blessed enough in this life, but she'll definitely marry you in the next."

Li Ru sighed upon hearing this.

"Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have stopped you from finishing it. If we had turned out alright this time, you could have lived a life of revelry every night."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye immediately asked, "Is Mother-in-law really telling the truth?"

Li Ru curled her lip, "If this is the case, why would I lie?"

Li Qiye smiled and told her.

"I was lying to you earlier. I have already deduced the murderer in this tax case and cleared my father-in-law of suspicion."

"Prefect Chen is currently reporting to His Majesty, and I believe you will be released soon."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Li Ru and Xu Pingzhi were overjoyed and quickly asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Li Qiye replied with a smile, "You'll see when you wait."

Xu Pingzhi, Li Ru, and Xu Lingyue were skeptical.

After an incense stick had burned, a jailer came to report.

"Xu Pingzhi, you can leave now."

Really!

Xu Lingyue, Li Ru, and Xu Pingzhi were overjoyed!

They were released from prison.

Xu Lingyue rushed straight into Li Qiye's arms and threw herself into his embrace. He gently stroked her hair and said, "It's alright now."

Xu Lingyue was a little angry: "Brother Qiye, you're so mean!"

He couldn't help but mutter, "Not bad, how did I manage to trick my mother-in-law into saying that? I'll show you how bad I am tonight."

Xu Lingyue blushed.

Li Ru and Xu Pingzhi also said, "Qi Ye, you're so wicked! You even lied to your mother-in-law and father-in-law."
