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

Before interrogating Liang Youping, Governor Zhang asked, "It seems that you, Su Zhexian, do you believe that Yang Chuannan is not the real culprit?"

Everyone turned to look at him.

Su Nan shared his assessment.

"It's hard to say, but my gut feeling is not."

"As the Commander-in-Chief of Yunzhou, Yang Chuannan can be said to be the most powerful person in Yunzhou!"

"Holding great power, a high-ranking official in charge of a region, deciding the life and death of a local area, what is the point of him colluding with bandits?"

"rebellion?"

"Moreover, I have read this person's information. He came to Yunzhou more than ten years ago and worked his way up to become the commander."

"I don't think his connection with the Kyoto Qi faction is close; it's just a matter of some mutual respect."

"So I think there might be other hidden reasons. We are in Yunzhou now, and one move can affect the whole situation. We can't do anything rash."

Governor Zhang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Alright, let's interrogate this person first, and then make a decision."

Governor Zhang immediately looked at Liang Youping and whispered:

"You're Liang Youping?"

Liang Youping snorted.

Governor Zhang pondered how he should question this person.

Su Nan then took out a spellbook from his bosom.

"To save time, let's use some tricks."

Su Nan tore a page from the spellbook, and the paper burned and turned into a wisp of pure vapor.

The spellbooks created by Confucian scholars can record spells from other cultivation systems!

Li Miaozhen looked at the spellbook in Su Nan's hand with a slightly surprised expression.

It seems that Sunan and Yunlu Academy have a very good relationship.

Otherwise, the great Confucian scholar would not have given him this book of magic arts.

But it makes sense.

I've heard that Yunlu Academy has always been very envious of this immortal.

"A gentleman should be honest, and so should a common man."

Su Nan cast an honesty buff on Liang Youping, and then asked:

Why are you in the black market dog meat shop?

Liang Youping had originally prepared to remain silent.

But he didn't expect Su Nan to pull this stunt...

Seeing this, Nangong Qianrou looked somewhat regretful.

Because her specialty was interrogation.

Even if Su Nan doesn't intervene, she has ways to make Liang Youping obediently tell the truth.

It's a pity... I haven't interrogated a criminal in a long time since I left Kyoto.

“Someone ordered me to kill the original dog meat shop owner, disguise myself as a contact, and hand over the account books to you in order to frame Yang Chuannan, the commander of Yunzhou.”

Liang Youping hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth.

Everyone's expression turned solemn upon hearing this.

Just as Su Nan had predicted, there was someone else behind the Yunzhou bandit case!

Yang Chuannan... is just someone to be pushed out as a scapegoat.

Governor Zhang's expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he was already mentally prepared.

The situation in Yunzhou is unpredictable, and he wouldn't be surprised by anything unexpected that might happen.

"Tell me everything you know."

Su Nan asked casually.

After a moment of silence, Liang Youping slowly recounted everything he knew.

"I was born in Yunzhou. From the time I can remember, I knew that Yunzhou was plagued by bandits and the people suffered greatly. My childhood dream was to learn martial arts and become a chivalrous swordsman who would roam the world and kill bandits."

"One year, I saw a young master bullying a woman in the street in Baidi City. I was so angry that I fought back, but I was outnumbered and his henchmen broke my leg. The young master was annoyed and didn't want to let me go, so he ordered his men to take me out of the city and bury me alive. It was at this time..."

“That official appeared. He had his guards rescue me, arrest the young master, and give me justice.”

Everyone's eyes narrowed. The "master" Liang Youping mentioned must be the one who assigned him to frame Yang Chuannan, and also the mastermind behind the Yunzhou case!

"That gentleman is... Song Changfu, the Provincial Governor of Yunzhou."

There was silence in the room.

Governor Zhang's expression was quite strange, a mixture of surprise and non-surprise.

After all, within Baidi City, any official of the fourth rank or above could be the mastermind behind the scenes.

The governor was already prepared and was not greatly surprised.

As a night watchman, Nangong Qianrou had seen all sorts of things and wasn't particularly shocked.

As for Li Miaozhen, she had long harbored suspicions about Song Changfu.

He thought coldly to himself, "As expected, it was that old scoundrel who was pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

“It’s 89, he’s 39…64…” 460

Governor Zhang was somewhat somber.

The officialdom in Yunzhou is rotten to the core.

Su Nan already knew all this, so he wasn't surprised. He simply said, "Continue."

“From then on, I followed Governor Song, who at the time was not yet a governor of a prefecture…”

Requesting flowers...0

"As Song Changfu's official rank rose, I, a cripple, also rose rapidly and became the current Secretary of the Bureau of Experience, reaching the sixth rank."

"It was through Song Changfu's recommendation that I joined the Qi faction. But this identity was clandestine; Zhou Min was a spy for the night watchman's office, and I was a spy for the Qi faction."

"Qi Dang supplies military provisions to the mountain bandits, and they have to get through the Registry Office. For years, I've been working for Provincial Governor Song, secretly altering the accounts and embezzling military supplies..."

Governor Zhang squinted and asked, "What about Yang Chuannan? He's also a member of the Qi faction, so why are you framing him?"

Liang Youping shook his head: "I don't know about these things. I only know that he is not close to the Qi faction. Provincial Governor Song revealed that Yang Chuannan was just a pawn that the Qi faction had put out in the open, and could be discarded at any time."

A look of realization flashed across everyone's eyes.

Yang Chuannan was indeed just a scapegoat.

"Without Zhou Min, the conspiracy in Yunzhou would have continued indefinitely."

A bitter smile appeared on Liang Youping's face.

"Perhaps this is the saying that the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. Speaking of which, I have a good relationship with Zhou Min, and we often drink together after our shifts are over."

"I just didn't expect that he was the night watchman's spy and I was the Qi Party's spy. That's why they say you can't see into someone's heart."

With the added boost of honesty, Liang Youping poured out the whole story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

“Zhou Min is a very intelligent person, extremely sensitive to numbers. After we noticed that he had discovered the discrepancies in the accounts, I tried to win him over, promising him great rewards…”

Nangong Qianrou pressed further, "He refused?"

"No."

He readily agreed, willing to go along with the corrupt practices. Little did he know that the so-called courtship was merely a pretense, a test to see what he had discovered.

“Zhou Min’s actions were merely a delaying tactic; he immediately turned around and wrote a secret report that revealed the truth.”

Su Nan sighed:

"Actually, he already had a premonition that you were going to kill him to silence him."

Liang Youping seemed somewhat saddened by Zhou Min's death, and sighed:

“A smart person naturally has his own awareness; he could have escaped, though he couldn’t have.”

These words seem to be directed at himself. He was also a clever man who foresaw his fate, and since he couldn't escape it, he didn't bother to.

"After the scandal came to light, Governor Song, following the established plan, pushed Yang Chuannan out to take the blame, while secretly making arrangements and waiting for the arrival of the governor."

"only……"

Liang Youping looked at the people in the room with a somewhat surprised expression.

Song Changfu made extremely thorough preparations to deal with the imperial envoy's team.

But before the plan could even begin, the imperial envoy's team learned the truth!

Song Changfu probably never expected this to happen!

A look of confusion appeared in Liang Youping's eyes.

What went wrong?!

"Take him away and keep him under strict guard!"

Governor Zhang gave a low shout and ordered his men to take Liang Youping away.

He then looked at Su Nan and sighed, "I never expected that the mastermind behind the Yunzhou case would be Provincial Governor Song Changfu!"

"This is truly unexpected."

"Su Zhexian, what do you think we should do now?"

Everyone turned to look at Su Nan.

He has now become the backbone of the team.

"The governor once said that most of the officials in Yunzhou are Song Changfu's men."
