[Number Two: Number Three, you're not the Imperial Advisor Luo Yuheng, are you?]
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Li Miaozhen's mind, and an extremely bold conjecture came to mind!
Number Three is extremely powerful and is very likely to be familiar with the imperial court's forces.
Besides Luo Yuheng, the leader of the Human Sect, who else could it be?!
Number One: Impossible.
Although this conjecture was very bold and quite possible, Huaiqing immediately rejected it.
The Imperial Preceptor has been suppressing his karmic fire and searching for a way to break through it all these years, so he couldn't possibly have the mind to get involved in the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Society.
However, she felt that Number Two's guess was probably correct.
Number Three is not only powerful, but also has deep ties with many imperial court forces.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to bring Number Six away from the vicinity of the Pingyuan Earl's Mansion.
Could it be one of Wei Gong's men?
Huaiqing thought to himself.
After guessing for a while without any results, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society stopped guessing.
With so little information available, it's difficult to guess the identity of Number Three.
[Secondly: Regardless, Number Six was able to escape this time thanks to Number Three's help; well done!]
[Four: I am not in the capital now, but when I return, I will surely have a drink and a good time with you!]
【…】
……
Haoqi Tower.
As a powerful and isolated minister in the Great Feng court, Wei Yuan had no residence in the capital and preferred to stay in the tea room on the seventh floor.
After searching around to no avail, Nangong Qianrou had no choice but to return and report the news to Wei Yuan.
"I am incompetent and have caused trouble for my godfather."
Nangong Qianrou looked somewhat remorseful.
There's still no progress in the Zhou Li case, and now there's the Pingyuan Earl murder case!
Tomorrow at the court assembly, my adoptive father's political enemies will surely use this as a pretext to attack him.
If the murderer can be identified, the godfather's situation will be much better.
"Do not worry about me."
As if Wei Yuan could read Nangong Qianrou's thoughts, he spoke softly.
"You mean there are no suspicious people near the Marquis of Pingyuan's residence?" Wei Yuan asked.
Xiao Nangong Qianrou nodded and said, "The Pingyuan Marquis's residence is located in a place where nobles gather, and very few ordinary people come and go. In addition, it is late at night, so there are almost no people around."
They said, "The only suspicious people are Su Nan and that monk."
"However, the astronomers from the Imperial Observatory confirmed that neither Su Nan nor the monk had any unusual auras."
⑨ “I also sent someone to Prince Yu’s residence to inquire. Su Nan and that monk did indeed go to Prince Yu’s residence and are currently there.”
⑦ Nangong Qianrou looked puzzled, unable to understand how the murderer escaped the pursuit of the night watchman, the Imperial Guard, and the Astronomical Bureau sorcerers!
⑤ Wei Yuan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.
⑥ Nangong Qianrou was unaware of the details, but he knew about Su Nan's strength.
It seems that the death of the Earl of Pingyuan is inextricably linked to southern Jiangsu.
③ A cold glint flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes.
② A knight-errant uses martial arts to break the law.
④ He had already done his best to help Su Nan cover up Zhou Li's case.
① If this person continues to act recklessly, even if he has the strength of a third-rank expert... so what?!
Zero: "Tomorrow, invite Su Nan to Haoqi Tower."
Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Only now."
Chapter 50 The Deal with Wei Yuan, the Long-Awaited Ambush
Haoqi Tower.
Early in the morning, Su Nan received an "invitation" from Nangong Qianrou, asking him to go to Haoqi Tower.
Southern Jiangsu was not surprised by this.
Although he and Hengyuan managed to evade yesterday's search, Wei Yuan wasn't stupid.
The Marquis of Pingyuan was murdered in the dead of night, and Hengyuan and I just happened to be near the Marquis of Pingyuan's residence—it's too much of a coincidence.
Su Nan arrived at the seventh floor of Haoqi Tower and went inside, while Nangong Qianrou, having received prior permission from Wei Yuan, stayed at the entrance.
Wei Yuan's expression remained calm, revealing nothing unusual.
However, Su Nan could sense that Wei Yuan's attitude towards him was not as friendly as last time.
The last time Wei Qingyi helped him resolve Zhou Li's case, it was because she was wary of his power and took the initiative to show goodwill.
However, in Wei Yuan's view, he should not take advantage of his strength to do whatever he wants in the capital of Da Feng.
"Wei Gong."
Wei Yuan didn't speak, but Su Nan smiled and sat down on his own.
"Did you kill the Earl of Pingyuan?" Wei Yuan took a sip of tea, his face indifferent.
"No." Su Nan also took a sip of wine.
Su Nan has a clear conscience that he did not kill the Earl of Pingyuan.
Wei Yuan had obviously guessed this possibility as well.
During his years in Kyoto, Su Nan has hardly ever committed any crimes.
The reason Zhou Li was killed not long ago was because the latter provoked him.
Therefore, in Wei Yuan's view, Su Nan was most likely not the murderer of the Earl of Pingyuan.
Although the Earl of Pingyuan had committed numerous crimes by manipulating the Yazi organization, given Su Nan's tranquil nature, he would not meddle in other people's business.
"That must be your monk companion from last night."
"This person is named Hengyuan. He came from Qinglong Temple, but was expelled from the temple by the abbot a few years ago."
"During this period, he has been staying temporarily in a health center in the outer city."
"..."
In just one night, Wei Yuan of "April 27" had thoroughly investigated the origins of Hengyuan.
"Since Lord Wei has already investigated everything, why did you call me here?" Su Nan said with a smile, showing no pressure whatsoever.
Hengyuan killed the person, but he didn't kill him.
Wei Yuan seemed to see through Su Nan's thoughts and said coldly, "Harboring a criminal and assisting him in escaping is the same crime!"
Su Nan smiled without saying a word.
Wei Yuan squinted and stared at Su Nan for a long time.
The two remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the tea room suddenly became tense.
Wei Yuan was once a second-rank martial artist and the God of War of the Great Feng Dynasty. Although he had already abandoned his cultivation, his aura was incomparable to that of ordinary high-ranking experts.
Moreover, while others may not know, Su Nan does.
Wei Yuan has resumed his martial arts training, but no one knows about it yet!
Su Nan possesses unparalleled swordsmanship. Although he usually keeps his divine brilliance hidden, once it is revealed, it is like a heaven-shattering divine sword!
The two men's auras clashed so fiercely that it seemed they were about to tear down the tea room!
Su Nan could sense that Wei Yuan harbored murderous intent towards him; it wasn't intense, but it was very pure.
How could a military genius who once commanded an army of 2104 million and defeated 278 attacks from a coalition of several nations at Shanhaiguan, now a night watchman, truly be a refined and easy-going ruler?
However, this murderous intent was fleeting, appearing quickly and disappearing just as quickly.
Su Nan knew that the conflict wouldn't happen today, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If he really falls out with Wei Yuan, then he won't be able to act so freely in the capital.
"I can tolerate you once or twice, but not a third time," Wei Yuan said calmly, taking a sip of tea.
Su Nan cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Wei."
Wei Yuan's willingness to show leniency towards him was not entirely due to his own cultivation level.
Wei Yuan wished nothing more than for the death of all those corrupt officials like the Earl of Pingyuan, who had harmed the people and committed countless crimes.
This is also why Wei Yuan was willing to make an exception for him.
Wei Yuan glanced at the smile on Su Nan's face.
He was somewhat curious.
This young man is incredibly talented, possesses remarkable abilities, and has considerable strength. Yet he spends his days wandering around the brothel. What is he planning to do?
Do I really want to be a carefree, wandering immortal who roams the mortal world?
"Lord Wei has spared Hengyuan and me today."
"But those people won't let you off the hook in court in a few days."
Su Nan suddenly said.
"Those people?" Wei Yuan asked calmly.
“Naturally, it’s the nobility and the civil service.” Su Nan smiled faintly.
The Great Feng court was divided into numerous factions, which could be categorized into the noble group and the civil official group based on their origins!
