Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

This man, named Yang Yan, is one of the Golden Gong Night Watchmen, the adopted son of Wei Yuan, and a fourth-rank master in the martial arts system.

"Yang Jinluo, have you made any progress?"

The Prefect of Kyoto looked at Yang Yan with great anticipation, clearly placing his hopes on the night watchman.

Yang Yan's gaze was cold and stern as he slowly shook his head.

"none."

This is truly strange.

It was clearly the work of a demon, yet the Imperial Observatory could not find a single clue.

As for the 150,000 taels of silver, it seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Yang Yan went to the site to investigate several times, but failed to find any clues.

Just as the representatives of the Kyoto Prefecture, the Imperial Observatory, and the night watchmen were all at a loss, a subordinate official from the Kyoto Prefecture hurriedly entered the hall to report the situation.

"Your Excellency, Xu Lingyue, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, requests an audience!"

The Prefect of Kyoto was furious at the moment, and immediately said, "I will not see her. No matter how she cries out for justice, it will be useless. This is His Majesty's decision."

"Since she's here, let's detain her. Anyway, all the women in the Xu family might be detained today."

The official hesitated for a moment before stammering:

"Xu Lingyue claims to have clues that can solve the tax fraud case!"

The Prefect of Kyoto, Chu Caiwei, and Yang Yan all looked at this subordinate.

The prefect of Kyoto laughed in anger, saying, "Miss Caiwei, Yang Jinluo, and I are all at a loss regarding this case. What clues could a mere girl like her possibly have?"

"How dare you spout nonsense just to see me, sir!"

"Give her ten lashes first, then take her into custody!"

The Prefect of Kyoto was already in a bad mood, and when he heard that Xu Lingyue dared to spout nonsense, he became even more uncomfortable.

It was clearly the Xu family who made the mistake, yet I, as an official, am also being held accountable.

Upon hearing this, the lower official quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of dissuasion: "Your Excellency, you must not..."

"Xu Lingyue came with the Princess's golden token!"

The governor of Kyoto's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up.

"You didn't tell me earlier."

"Quickly, invite them in!"

If it were Xu Lingyue, the Prefect of Kyoto would certainly not care.

However, if the second daughter is related to the eldest princess, then the situation is different.

Chapter 6 The Tax Silver Case, solved just like that?! [Seeking flowers and monthly tickets]

After waiting anxiously, Xu Lingyue was led into the Kyoto mansion.

As she entered the lobby, she saw three people sitting in front of her, all staring at her.

Xu Lingyue, who is usually a girl from a modest family, was a little timid as this was her first time in such a place.

But when he thought about how the lives of the Xu family were in his hands, he had no choice but to muster his courage.

"Xu Lingyue, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, greets the three esteemed gentlemen!"

The Prefect of Kyoto first looked at the golden token of the Eldest Princess handed over by Xu Lingyue, and his expression changed slightly.

Absolutely true.

This humble Xu family actually has a connection with Her Highness the Eldest Princess?!

Even His Highness's golden token is included!

It seems I can't be too harsh on the Xu family; I have to give the princess some leeway.

The Prefect of Kyoto looked at Xu Lingyue and said, "Xu Lingyue, since you say you have clues to solve the case, then tell me quickly."

The governor of Kyoto did not believe that Xu Lingyue had any clues to solve the case.

But what if it was the eldest princess who found out?!

It’s really possible!

Chu Caiwei glanced at Xu Lingyue and continued to eat the pear in her hand!

As for Yang Yan, his face remained stiff and sculpted, clearly indicating that he had no hope for Xu Lingyue.

However, Xu Lingyue's first words caused the three people in the hall to change their expressions slightly.

"My lords, the tax silver case was not caused by demons, but by human intervention!"

Xu Lingyue mustered her courage and spoke as Su Nan had taught her.

"oh?!"

"Tell me more details."

Yang Yan became somewhat interested, but his voice remained cold.

Xu Lingyue mustered her courage and explained everything in detail.

"There are many suspicious points in this case. I hope you three gentlemen will listen to my explanation."

Subsequently.

Xu Lingyue then recounted Su Nan's views on the tax silver case in detail.

The moment I heard the sound of a slow horse's legs.

The expressions of the Prefect of Kyoto and Yang Yan have changed!

The Kyoto Prefect was so excited that he slapped his thigh repeatedly!

How come I didn't think of this!

The slowness of a tired horse alone is enough to tell that the time is wrong.

Since the timing is correct, the problem must lie with the silver being transported.

As a member of the Golden Gong, Yang Yan naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

OK OK.

Unexpectedly, this case could be found to have flaws from this angle.

Yang Yan gave Xu Lingyue a deep look.

This young girl is quite perceptive; she was able to find the oversight in the tax case from this very spot.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

"So what my father was escorting back then wasn't silver!"

Xu Lingyue's face flushed red, and she became somewhat agitated.

She practically shouted those last words.

After saying all that, Xu Lingyue felt completely exhausted and could no longer support her body.

The governor of Kyoto had a chair brought to Xu Lingyue.

"But the tax payment was settled on the spot. The officials in charge, along with your father, personally witnessed the tax money being packed and sealed. How could there be a mistake?!"

The governor of Kyoto frowned and asked.

This is the key!

If Xu Lingyue's clues are to hold true, then it must be proven that the silver being transported at the time was not silver.

Xu Lingyue had already been warned by Su Nan, so she was not flustered when faced with the questioning from the Prefect of Kyoto.

Xu Lingyue looked at the cute girl among the three who was always eating and tentatively asked, "May I ask, are you Caiwei from the Imperial Observatory?"

Chu Caiwei, who was eating melon, looked up, her eyes somewhat blank, and nodded.

"know me?"

Xu Lingyue took out a letter from her bosom and had someone deliver it to Chu Caiwei.

"Someone asked me to give this to you."

"They say you only need to do what they say to find out the answer."

Chu Caiwei put down the melon, clapped her hands, and took the letter.

She opened it and found that the paper contained the steps of alchemy.

"The entire process of sodium metal extraction!"

"alchemy?!"

Chu Caiwei was somewhat surprised.

She was, after all, only a seventh-rank feng shui master, while alchemy was the ability of a sixth-rank alchemist.

but.

The letter described the refining process in great detail, which piqued Chu Caiwei's interest.

She also wants to be promoted to the sixth rank as soon as possible!

"Okay, let me try!"

"Your Excellency, prepare these items for me."

Chu Caiwei informed the Prefect of Kyoto of the required materials.

Fifteen minutes later, outside the Kyoto Prefecture Hall.
