Everyone immediately turned to look at the three white-robed sorcerers in the corner. The younger white-robed sorcerer said, "Why are you looking at us? Senior Sister Caiwei's secret recipe was also given to her by Mr. Su."

Southern Jiangsu: ...

Okay, okay, very honest.

"I didn't expect you to know how to enhance the flavor of fish soup."

Nangong Qianrou glanced at Su Nan.

Su Nan smiled faintly: "Just a little research."

"Xiaorou, if you feel bad about it..."

"If I treat you to fish, you should treat me to abalone."

Eating abalone?

Nangong Qianrou was unaware that Su Nan also had a fondness for seafood.

"I'll treat you to a meal when we get to Yunzhou."

Seafood may be expensive in Kyoto, but it is not a rare commodity in the coastal town of Unshu.

What's so special about her, a high-ranking official, treating southern Jiangsu to abalone?

“Okay, it’s a deal then.” Su Nan took a sip of soup.

Immediately, Nangong Qianrou noticed a strange smile appear on Su Nan's face.

She was a little confused, but didn't press for an answer.

What's that kid grinning about?

At that moment, a group of armored guards entered through the cabin door.

They smelled the enticing aroma of the fish soup as they silently received their simple meals.

This time, the night watchmen going to Yunzhou consisted of twenty bronze gong players, six silver gong players, and one gold gong player.

Governor Zhang was accompanied by 893 attendants and 964 Tiger Guards, totaling 460 men.

These elite guards lived in cramped and dark cabins, and their food was not as good as that of the watchmen; naturally, they didn't get any fish soup.

The lean men twitched their noses silently, swallowed hard, and looked longingly at the fish soup.

Seeing this, Su Nan called over the cook: "Are there any fish left in the boat?"

"If not, go to the net and cook a pot of fish soup for the soldiers, so that everyone can have some."

As he spoke, he handed the porcelain bottle to the cook: "If you need more, just ask me for more."

The Tiger Guards' eyes lit up instantly, and they straightened their backs unconsciously, saying in unison, "Thank you, Lord Su."

Nangong Qianrou glanced at Su Nan, and her impression of the latter changed slightly.

This guy is quite considerate of his subordinates.

……

After lunch, Su Nan spent the afternoon enjoying the scenery of the river.

Before they knew it, night had fallen, and Su Nan went back to her room to rest.

Although the official ship was large, it didn't have many rooms.

As an imperial envoy, Su Nan was naturally entitled to occupy a room.

Nangong Qianrou's room was right next to his.

Su Nan looked at Nangong Qianrou as she returned to her room and stroked his chin.

Didn't we agree on close-fitting protection?

Is it considered intimate even though there's a wall between us?

Su Nan was lying in bed, about to rest, when a voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Su, my master requests your presence."

He was Governor Zhang's attendant.

"understood."

Su Nan had no choice but to get up and go to Governor Zhang's room.

As I was leaving, I happened to see Nangong Qianrou also leaving.

She took off her golden armor and changed into a blue official robe.

The curves that were previously hidden by the armor are now revealed.

"Xiao Rou, you're actually quite well-endowed!"

"That golden armor is truly despicable."

Su Nan laughed.

Nangong Qianrou was taken aback at first, then quickly realized what was happening!

This guy is making fun of her again!

If it weren't for her adoptive father's high regard for Su Nan, she would have thrown him into the river to feed the fish long ago!

lecher!

but……

You have some good taste!

"Humph!"

Nangong Qianrou snorted coldly, ignored Su Nan, and walked towards Governor Zhang's room.

Southern Jiangsu followed closely behind.

The lights were on in Governor Zhang's room, and the two men pushed the door open and entered.

Governor Zhang smiled when he saw Su Nan and Nangong Qianrou.

"Sit down and pour yourself some tea."

Governor Zhang focused his gaze on Su Nan.

This great immortal's reputation is legendary.

This person is not only exceptionally talented in poetry, but also possesses remarkable crime-solving abilities!

Most importantly, His Majesty is very fond of this Su Zhexian.

This was already common knowledge among all the officials and military personnel.

As long as Su Nan is willing to enter officialdom, he will surely have a smooth career and become the prime minister.

Su Nan knew why Governor Zhang had summoned him and Nangong Qianrou, so he asked directly, "Governor Zhang wants to discuss the case with us?"

Both the Censorate and the night watchmen were under Wei Yuan's jurisdiction.

So strictly speaking, Governor Zhang is not an outsider.

Therefore, people from southern Jiangsu tend to speak more directly.

Governor Zhang smiled and said, "Lord Su is a brilliant judge of cases, with extraordinary abilities. I've come to you precisely to discuss our mission to Yunzhou."

Su Nan then asked, "Presumably Governor Zhang has already reviewed the case file. What do you think of this case?"

Governor Zhang said, "I have read the case file. There are no flaws in Zhou Min's death. There are no wounds or signs of poisoning. It is a perfectly normal death."

Zhou Min, that is, the name of the night watchman, Anzi.

He died after sending back the secret message.

Su Nan pondered for a moment and said:

"To die silently and without leaving any trace is itself a flaw."

Governor Zhang agreed wholeheartedly and nodded: "Lord Su is absolutely right."

Then both of them looked at Nangong Qianrou.

When it comes to matters of force, one should naturally consult the strongest fighter in the room.

Without a second thought, Nangong Qianrou said, "Among all the major systems, only the Taoist sect and the wizards can do this."

"Based on my judgment, the murderer is most likely from the Witch God Cult, and is very likely a fourth-rank Dream Witch."

Any method of murder leaves clear traces. This does not refer to leaving clues, but rather to a direct impression that makes it clear that the person was "murdered".

Even if the soul is destroyed using skillful methods, the deceased will still exhibit blank and fearful facial features.

Only the Taoist sect and the Witch God Cult can make someone die as if they were asleep.

It's unlikely to be the Taoist sect; the Witch God Sect is the most probable.

"Sir, what do you think we should do to investigate after we arrive in Yunzhou?" Su Nan asked.

In terms of investigation, there are no problems in southern Jiangsu. 3.0

However, this trip to Yunzhou to investigate the case involved many matters of officialdom.

Su Nan was not a person in officialdom and did not understand many of the intricacies of it.

This is precisely the role of Governor Zhang.

Actually, the team's composition was obvious at a glance.

Su Nan was in charge of investigating the case.

Nangong Qianrou and the night watchman were responsible for resolving any issues involving force.

Governor Zhang was responsible for handling official social affairs.

Governor Zhang pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and slowly said:

“Zhou Min is an experienced mole. He won’t keep important evidence around. What we need to do is find the evidence he has hidden.”

"Lord Su is an expert in this area, so I hope you will put in a lot of effort."

After the Sangbo bombing, no one doubted Su Zhexian's ability to solve cases.
