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

Nangong Qianrou gritted her teeth, took the document, and scanned it.

"no problem."

Although she was in charge of interrogation and intelligence in the night watchman's office, she still had these basic skills.

Su Nan nodded slightly, then looked at the bearded man.

"You came from Yuzhou, did you encounter any unexpected situations?"

The bearded man quickly laughed and said, "Sir, you are joking. We have only just left Yuzhou."

The bearded man's expression had softened considerably.

After all, the inspection didn't reveal anything, so it seems there's no major problem.

However, just as he was about to relax, he heard Su Nan's low shouts and chatter.

"Take down everyone on board!"

Su Nan's low shout caused Nangong Qianrou and the night watchmen to change their expressions slightly.

They didn't have time to consider whether the order was accurate.

Execute the command!

The gong-wielders reacted swiftly and struck without hesitation, knocking over boatmen and officials one by one.

In no time at all, everyone on the boat was subdued by the night watchmen.

After finishing all this, Nangong Qianrou looked at Su Nan and asked, "What problem did you discover?"

Chapter 72 Suspicious Points about the Official Ship – Surprisingly, This Was a Great Achievement!

Although Su Nan is annoying, Nangong Qianrou doesn't doubt his ability to solve cases.

He's the kind of person who can solve cases just by looking at the case files...

This barge was also an official vessel, belonging to the Yuzhou government.

If there isn't a plausible reason for Su Nan's actions, this matter will be difficult to resolve!

Therefore, Nangong Qianrou believed that Su Nan must have discovered something during the inspection just now, but he just didn't say it.

"After going around in circles, there are quite a few suspicious points," Su Nan nodded slightly.

"The iron ore on the ship is of excellent quality."

He turned to look at the gong that was inspecting the iron ore.

Tongluo immediately nodded: "Lord Su is right. These ores are ground too finely, and their quality is too excellent."

Nangong Qianrou was a little confused. What was the problem?

"Judging from the documents, this ship is bound for the capital, so it's not surprising that it's of better quality. What's the problem?"

Su Nan smiled and looked at Nangong Qianrou, saying earnestly, "Qianrou, you need to get closer to real life."

"Many clues come from the details of life."

Nangong Qianrou clenched her fists.

In front of so many people, she spoke softly and gently.

You think you're my godfather?!

But curiosity overcame her anger, and Nangong Qianrou gritted her teeth and asked, "Oh? What's your opinion?"

Close to everyday life?

How dare you, a drunkard who spends his days in the brothel and entangles with courtesans, say such things to me!

Su Nan then laughed and said, "There are often merchants and officials in the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau), and I occasionally hear things about iron mines from them."

“Ore is priced by weight, not by quality.”

"In order to seize profits and line their own pockets, officials would mix crushed stones or inferior iron ore into the iron ore to increase the quantity."

"As long as you maintain a certain level of control, there won't be any problems."

"The iron ore on this ship is so good, it moves me."

"Yuan... Ah, that there are still such honest and upright officials under His Majesty's rule, I should submit a memorial to the emperor to recommend him for merit."

Although Su Nan's next words were somewhat sarcastic, Nangong Qianrou still understood them.

In other words, the iron ore here is of exceptionally high quality!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Anything else?" Nangong Qianrou asked.

The clues discovered in southern Jiangsu could not be limited to just this one place.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so certain!

The fact that the iron ore is of such high quality is not enough as a reason.

"The cooks on this ship don't even know how to remove the fishy smell?"

"A cook who works on a ship regularly knows 460 ways to do it."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

This is true.

The cooks on their boat were very good at removing the earthy taste from the fish.

"Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but there are many signs of a struggle in the ship, and these signs are recent."

"In addition, the Astronomical Bureau's ability to observe qi revealed that the ship was shrouded in blood."

"That's enough to prove this ship is haunted!"

After Su Nan finished speaking, Nangong Qianrou and the night watchmen had no more doubts.

As expected of Su Zhexian!

If there were one or two suspicious points about this ship, it could perhaps be considered a coincidence.

But they have far too many suspicious points!

That's abnormally high!

Nangong Qianrou nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right, these people are definitely up to something."

"This place is only half a day's journey from Yuzhou, so they must have killed them at night."

Based on the timeline, the ship must have departed from Yuzhou last night.

In other words, the ship hadn't been away from Yuzhou for very long when the incident occurred.

"The truth will depend on your methods."

Su Nan looked at Nangong Qianrou with a playful smile on his face.

"I've heard that you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, Xiaorou."

"I believe it won't be difficult for you to get these people to tell the truth."

Although Su Nan possessed a book of magic spells gifted by a great Confucian scholar, these people were not worth him wasting a single page of their magic spells on.

Since we already have Nangong Qianrou as a tool, why not make use of her!

Nangong Qianrou snorted.

Despite her stunning beauty, she was the nightmare of the prisoners in the watchman's jail.

Nangong Qianrou was an expert in interrogation, unmatched in the world in this regard.

She also invented many bizarre and cruel methods of torture, the kind that would scare a person to death.

Nangong Qianrou looked at the bearded man who had been knocked unconscious by the night watchman.

"Wake him up."

The way he was woken up was also very rough; a hard slap across the face made a crisp sound, which made Su Nan's cheek sting.

The man, disguised as a constable protecting the boats of the Grand Canal transport office, glanced around and realized his predicament, his face turning ashen.

He still couldn't believe that he had been exposed so easily; he wondered where things had gone wrong.

"I ask, you answer; if you conceal or deceive once, I'll cut off a finger."

Nangong Qianrou revealed the expression she would have when facing a prisoner.

Neither his face nor his eyes showed any emotion.

When the bearded man looked up and met those sharp eyes that seemed to see right through him, he trembled and lay prone on the ground.

"Your true identity!"

"Fang He, a commoner and a wandering swordsman, formed the Yellow Flag Gang in Yuzhou to make a living."

"Making a living includes murdering government officials and robbing the imperial iron mines?"

Nangong Qianrou's eyes were indifferent.

"No, no!"

Fang He was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly explained.

"Sir, I was just doing this for money!"

"The one who ordered me to do this was the transport commissioner of the Yuzhou Canal Transport Office."

"He told us that there was a barge bound for the capital that night, loaded with iron ore. He told us to kill the guards on board and seize the iron ore."

After hearing what Fang He said, Nangong Qianrou and the night watchmen's expressions became somewhat serious.

Be nice.

It deserves a lot of credit for drifting here.

I thought it was just a ship hijacking case, but I didn't expect it to involve the transport commissioner of the Grand Canal!

This is a major case of embezzlement by someone in charge.
