"Not long ago, Constable Lü and the night watchman handled the case of the demons of Mount Huang swallowing people."

"You discovered a... nitrate mine inside the Great Huangshan Mountains?"

Lu Qingqing's delicate face froze for a moment.

Then she suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Nitrate!!"

The two of them were filled with shock!

the other side.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, standing behind Li Yuchun, exchanged a glance, their expressions changing slightly!

They had recently personally surveyed the Dahuangshan area and discovered saltpeter deposits there!

The expressions of the other officials present changed slightly.

What saltpeter?!

Why were they unaware of the details?

Standing behind Su Nan, Nangong Qianrou was deeply shaken!

She recalled Su Nan's actions in the Haoqi Tower.

Su Nan reviewed all the case files related to the demon race and the Witch God Cult within the Kyoto area that were kept by the night watchmen.

At the time, Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan felt that Su Nan was looking for a needle in a haystack, and this move was no different from taking a chance!

Surprisingly, he actually found a clue in the case file!

Nangong Qianrou's gaze towards Su Nan gradually changed.

This man... seems just as terrifying as my godfather!

Lu Qing calmed down from her shock, and various thoughts flashed through her mind.

However, a new question soon arose in her mind: "If it really was them, then what about the nine missing people?"

Su Nan slowly said, "It's very simple. It's to divert our attention and buy us time to escape from the capital."

Lü Qing nodded slightly: "Yes, so that we would think that the gunpowder came from the Ministry of Works, and that there were spies planted within the court!"

"Thus, the focus of our investigation shifted to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

"The real culprit took advantage of this time to escape from Kyoto!"

Eunuch Liu frowned; he realized he was starting to lose track of their conversation.

Apart from the high-ranking Minister of Justice and Prefect Chen, who remained unmoved, everyone else looked at each other, equally unable to understand what Xu Qi'an and Lü Qing were saying.

In fact, Minister Sun and Prefect Chen were also completely bewildered.

However, they are all veteran actors in the imperial court.

At times like these, the less you understand, the less you should show any abnormality!

"You had already thought of these things when I was analyzing them?"

Lu Qing let out a long breath and stared at Su Nan with an extremely shocked look.

This immortal's analytical abilities are terrifying!

Lu Qing originally thought that Su Nan was just a playboy from the brothel, but with some talent.

I never expected this person to be so good at solving cases!

He discerned the truth simply through his own analysis.

Upon hearing this, Su Nan nodded and then looked at Eunuch Liu and the many officials in the council hall.

"That's why I said earlier that your Ministry of Justice is wasting time."

Minister Sun and the officials from the Ministry of Justice looked rather grim.

They originally intended to take advantage of Su Nan's incorrect statement to vent their anger and get back at him.

After some analysis, I realized I was really bad at it...

How can we possibly speed like this?!

Even Minister Sun had to force a smile at this moment.

"Thank you for the guidance, Mr. Su."

"Otherwise, our Ministry of Justice would indeed be wasting a lot of time."

Su Nan nodded slightly upon seeing this.

No wonder he rose to the position of Minister of the Six Ministries; he's quite patient.

An official from the Ministry of Justice frowned and said:

"If that's the case, there's still one question that can't be answered: how did the thieves manage to transport the gunpowder to Sangbo?"

Before Su Nan could speak, Lü Qing said first: "It's very simple. Those nine missing officials were probably bribed or coerced."

I prefer the former.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Makes sense.

The fact that the demon race could smuggle gunpowder into Sangbo means they must have had accomplices.

They couldn't have done it without inside help from the imperial court.

The spirited female constable stared at Su Nan, a hint of doubt appearing on her face.

The group of nine missing persons included three palace servants, three from the Ministry of Rites, and three from the Court of Judicial Review... How did they manage to smuggle gunpowder in without their colleagues' knowledge?

Nine. "These few people alone cannot smuggle gunpowder without their colleagues' knowledge!"

The officials in the Seventh Council Hall were now completely led by the nose by Su Nan and Lü Qing.

Upon hearing Lü Qing's question, everyone fell into deep thought.

Six pairs!

San Su Nan gave his answer without hesitation.

"Therefore, there must be others among those who helped them!"

"And this person must have the ability to freely enter and leave the imperial city, or the ability to smuggle gunpowder into the imperial city..."

"The most likely candidate is the Jinwu Guard."

"This morning, while reviewing the night watchman's case files, I paid close attention to the Imperial Guards."

"A case just happened to be discovered."

"The case of Liu Han, a junior officer of the Imperial Guard, who went missing."

"I believe that Liu Han's disappearance is most likely due to him being murdered to silence him."

“His superior, Zhou Chixiong, a centurion of the Golden Guard, is highly suspicious!”

Lü Qingjiao's body trembled slightly!

The case of the junior officer of the Imperial Guard!

This case occurred the day before the ancestral worship ceremony, and it was also handled jointly by Lü Qing and the night watchman.

The junior officer of the Imperial Guard was silenced!

Before killing him, he told his wife that he planned to take the family away from the capital... He was on duty when he died...

"The case of the demons devouring people in Mount Huang and the case of the missing junior officer of the Imperial Guard are both related to the Sangbo bombing!"

Lu Qing said in shock.

If Su Nan hadn't connected these three cases... she wouldn't have been able to figure it out even if she racked her brains!

By simply placing the three cases together, everything becomes clear at a glance, and everything becomes crystal clear!

The demons drove away the Gray Households in order to mine saltpeter from Mount Huang and make gunpowder to destroy the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple!

Gunpowder was used because the palace was heavily guarded and impossible to break into!

But gunpowder can do this!

All you need to do is smuggle it in without anyone noticing!

Whether it's the Director of the Imperial Observatory, the female Imperial Preceptor of the Human Sect, or a high-ranking martial artist in the Imperial Guard, they can detect the intrusion of powerful individuals, but they cannot detect gunpowder, an inanimate object.

(Zhao) Liu Han was just a minor officer and didn't have the ability to secretly put gunpowder into the imperial city without his superiors' knowledge.

He was a clerk, and the one who gave the orders was his superior, Zhou Chixiong.

It was this superior who killed him to silence him!

That's it...that's it!

Under Su Nan's guidance, Lü Qing quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter!

Lu Qing looked at Su Nan with excitement in her eyes, her gaze completely different from before.

That look in his eyes was filled with admiration and respect!

A banished immortal?!

Is this the banished immortal of the Great Feng Dynasty?!

Lu Qing originally scoffed at the so-called banished immortal.

In retrospect, she was short-sighted and didn't recognize the true value of a person!

Seeing that the analysis of the matter was almost complete, Su Nan realized it was time for him to leave.

He stood up slowly.

"Eunuch Liu, farewell."

"Xiaorou, let's go."

Upon hearing the address "Xiao Rou," Nangong Qianrou did not erupt in anger; instead, her eyes were filled with shock!

Immediately.
