"Among the three offices, the Commander's Office has the greatest power!"

"But the one who greeted me just now was Provincial Administration Commissioner Song. Although the Provincial Administration Commissioner should appear on such occasions, if you think about it carefully, the person he introduced to me first was the Provincial Judicial Commissioner, not the Commander-in-Chief."

"It's obvious that the two don't get along."

"I noticed at the banquet that Yang Chuannan remained silent most of the time, while the Provincial Governor acted as the host. Ah, this is a very important thing in officialdom, and one cannot overstep one's bounds."

Su Nan said thoughtfully, "Indeed, Yang Chuannan seems quite indifferent to everyone."

Governor Zhang sneered, "This shows that most of the officials in Yunzhou are surnamed Song."

Su Nan clicked his tongue.

There are quite a few tricks to this officialdom.

Song Changfu's influence in Yunzhou was indeed quite deep.

Despite being a provincial governor, he was able to suppress Yang Chuannan, a military commander.

You can't do it without some ability.

"And now it all makes sense," Governor Zhang said. "Do you know why that man surnamed Song brought loquats to the banquet?"

Su Nan said calmly, "Like picking the stamen of a loquat."

"Eliminate one person, and Yunzhou will be safe!"

"As for who it is, everyone knows perfectly well."

Governor Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Who says that Su Zhexian is unfamiliar with the ways of officialdom!"

Su Nan simply shook his head.

Officials are all corrupt.

On the surface, everyone is getting along well, but behind the scenes, they're all sharpening their knives.

My energy is better suited to be reserved for the courtesans of the Imperial Music Bureau and all the beauties in the world.

……

On the other side, Commander Yang Chuannan entered the carriage, and just as he lowered the curtain, it was lifted again.

Li Miaozhen, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and looking very spirited, came up.

"You entered my carriage in front of everyone. Aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?" Yang Chuannan frowned.

"People of the martial world don't care about these things."

Li Miaozhen waved her hand.

"Governor Zhang seemed quite polite today. Do you want to spend some money to smooth things over?"

She knew the rules of the officialdom in Dafeng: money made you a friend.

Even without money, brothers can remain impartial and incorruptible.

"Trying to bribe the censor? Don't you want to die already?"

Yang Chuannan glanced at Li Miaozhen and sighed.

"It would be worth considering killing them all in Yunzhou."

Li Miaozhen rolled her eyes: "What do you think of this governor?"

"Moderation," Yang Chuannan commented.

“That’s good. The more incompetent he is, the safer you are,” Li Miaozhen said with a smile.

“Mediocrity does not mean mediocrity.” Yang Chuannan shook his head: “Those who do not show their claws are the most dangerous.”

"Especially that Su Zhexian, she gives me an even stronger sense of danger!"

Yang Chuannan, a veteran of many battles, always had a very accurate intuition.

He felt that Su Zhexian was the most dangerous person.

This frivolous man from the brothel... is not as simple as he seems.

Chapter 84 You guys care so much about Su Nan?!

Su Nan and Governor Zhang returned to the post station.

Since Governor Zhang had strictly forbidden people from going to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district), it was not appropriate for people in southern Jiangsu to make an exception.

Although Governor Zhang did not give him this order.

After meeting Li Miaozhen, Su Nan became less interested in the courtesans of Yunzhou Jiaofangsi.

I've seen plenty of courtesans, but there's only one Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect.

Su Nan had no choice but to continue focusing on the coded message left by Zhou Min.

Zhou Min's two sets of codes were clearly his own creations.

To break through 893 and solve 9644, the difficulty level is 60, which is extremely high.

But there must be a reason for everything.

Su Nan thought these numbers might point to plaintext and should be used in conjunction with a "codebook".

And this codebook is very likely among Zhou Min's belongings!

hum-

Just as Su Nan was fully engrossed in solving the mystery, the jade mirror suddenly trembled slightly.

[Number 2: Number 3, I have some questions for you. If you don't want to just give me the answers for nothing, you can name your terms!]

Li Miaozhen?

Su Nan looked at the message on the jade mirror and smiled calmly.

Li Miaozhen did indeed come looking for him.

Presumably, it was to gather information about the governor's entourage.

Su Nan was considering whether he should arrange to meet Li Miaozhen separately for a proper talk.

The Flying Swallow Army under Li Miaozhen's command was also a formidable force.

If Song Changfu really becomes desperate, she should be able to help him.

【Three: You say.】

Li Miaozhen looked at the reply from number three and nodded silently.

Number Three is indeed a straightforward person, and I know how she gets along with him!

Unlike that mysterious Number One, whose words and actions are always shrouded in mystery.

[Second: The governor's entourage arrived in Yunzhou today. I want to know all the information about Nangong Qianrou, including his fighting style ("4-7-3"), habits, weaknesses, etc.]

This is so Li Miaozhen.

They directly regarded Nangong Qianrou, the strongest member of the imperial envoy's team, as an enemy and made preparations in advance.

[Three: Nangong Qianrou is skilled in torture and uses ruthless methods.]

Su Nan only provided some basic information.

Of course, he couldn't possibly sell Xiaorou to Li Miaozhen.

Li Miaozhen's inquiry into this information likely stems from her intentions regarding the imperial envoy's entourage.

At least she strongly supports Yang Chuannan.

Li Miaozhen was speechless for a moment after reading the brief message.

Amidst this stiff and awkward atmosphere, the former scholar, now swordsman number four, popped up.

[Four: Number Two, Yang Chuannan is suspected of colluding with mountain bandits to supply military provisions, which is tantamount to treason. If you help Yang Chuannan deal with the imperial envoy's army, you will be aiding and abetting evil.]

Li Miaozhen quickly explained in the group chat:

[Second: I apologize for my abruptness. I had no intention of harming the imperial envoy's team.]

[Third: Whether Yang Chuannan is innocent or not can only be determined through investigation. Don't be too extreme.]

Su Nan was well aware that Yang Chuannan was not the mastermind behind Yunzhou.

Even Song Changfu was just a pawn.

The true masters of Yunzhou are the Unruly Child and the Witch God Cult.

Li Miaozhen didn't say anything more, and seemed a little angry.

Because no one in the group chat supported her, she became the target of everyone's criticism.

Even Number Three was secretly warning her!

Am I an impulsive person?!

Li Miaozhen really wanted to ask them a question in the group chat.

But the answer... is obvious.

So she decided not to humiliate herself.

[Second: Rest assured, everyone, I will not act rashly, much less attack the imperial envoy's entourage. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Emperor Yuanjing?]

[Second: I'd also like to ask, how much do you know about Su Nan? I saw him at the banquet in Yunzhou tonight; he certainly has a handsome appearance, no wonder he's hailed as a banished immortal.]

Mentioning the name of Su Nan made the group chat a little more lively.

Huaiqing, who had been lurking and spying all along, finally showed up.

[One: Su Nan's poetic talent is astonishing, a fact known throughout the land. The headmaster of Yunlu Academy praised him as a once-in-a-millennium genius. He also possesses exceptional crime-solving abilities, making him a rare talent in the Great Feng Dynasty.]

However, this man has no interest in fame or fortune, nor in officialdom; I hope you will not harm him.

In the elegant garden, Huaiqing looked up at a calligraphy and painting in the hall.

She copied down the sentences about lotus flowers from Su Nan's letters and hung them up.

Su Nan is the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of Da Feng.
