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

Does that mean this lead has gone cold?!

"Could we ask the astronomers from the Imperial Observatory to observe the qi?" Yang Yan pressed.

He wanted to confirm whether Zhou Chixiong was dead or alive.

If it was murdered to silence the witness, then the astronomers of the Imperial Observatory should have been able to tell.

Li Yuchun replied, "The matter is urgent, and we haven't had time to ask the astronomers of the Imperial Observatory to observe the qi."

"However, according to the gatekeeper... all the valuables in the mansion have been moved out."

"He personally witnessed Zhou Chixiong leaving with his family."

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Chapter 58 Where did Zhou Chixiong go? The Favor of Emperor Yuanjing

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou exchanged a glance.

Judging from Zhou Chixiong's actions, he left the capital as soon as he finished transporting the gunpowder.

This person was also a smart man; fearing being killed to silence him, he fled the place early on.

Therefore, it seems that Zhou Chixiong did not die, but simply left Kyoto.

Although the result was bad, it at least preserved a glimmer of hope for solving the case.

"Father, could we use our spies outside Kyoto to hunt down Zhou Chixiong?"

Nangong Qianrou immediately asked Wei Yuan for permission.

Zhou Chixiong is the hope for solving the Sangbo bombing case!

Whoever can capture Zhou Chixiong first will be able to solve the Sangbo bombing case.

This is a huge achievement!

I believe that neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Kyoto Prefecture will let this prize slip away from them.

Zhou Chixiong has most likely already fled Kyoto, so it's impossible for the Kyoto government to catch him.

The only entity that could compete with the night watchmen was the Ministry of Justice.

The power of the night watchmen wasn't limited to Kyoto; they had spies all over Kyushu.

It shouldn't be difficult to capture Zhou Chixiong.

"Searching for one person across the entire land is like finding a needle in a haystack."

“Zhou Chixiong has committed heinous crimes and will certainly not reveal his whereabouts easily. Finding him will be extremely difficult.”

Wei Yuan said it casually.

He then looked at Su Nan and said, "Why don't we think about where he might be hiding?"

9. Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou frowned upon hearing this.

7. Where are you hiding?

5. The world of Kyushu is so vast that Zhou Chixiong could be hiding anywhere!

6. If he is determined to live in anonymity and hide his tracks, it will be very difficult to catch him!

3. Su Nan knew that Wei Yuan was testing him, so he shook his wine gourd and laughed, "That's not hard to guess."

2. Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou looked at Su Nan at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise.

You found out too?!

4. Su Nan did not give a direct answer, but said: "Zhou Chixiong colluded with the demon race and destroyed Sangbo."

1. "According to the laws of the Great Feng Dynasty, the entire family should be executed, and three generations of relatives should be exterminated."

0 “With such a serious crime, how many places can he go?”

Although the laws of the minor and major officials are strict, it is still very difficult to achieve the goal of punishing three generations of a family.

Examples include treason, causing significant damage to the country or the royal family, or choosing the wrong side.

In the original tax silver case, Xu Pingzhi violated the second rule, losing a large amount of tax silver.

But this was just a coincidence.

Those who can achieve the above four accomplishments are usually high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

Those who are of high status and wealth are the ones who are easily executed along with their entire families.

"Collective punishment" is also jokingly referred to as the privilege of the big boss.

Zhou Chixiong has committed such a serious crime that he is not safe anywhere to hide, because the imperial court will not let him go!

"There are only two paths before Zhou Chixiong."

"One option is to flee Dafeng, and the other is to stay in Dafeng."

“Zhou Chixiong did not leave alone, but with his family, so the possibility that he fled with his family to places like the demon territory, the Western Regions, or the Witch God Sect is very low.”

"Then he will most likely remain in a safe place within the Great Feng."

"So the place most likely to allow him to evade the imperial court's pursuit, yet within the territory of the Great Feng Dynasty..."

Before Su Nan could finish speaking, Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan said in unison, "Yunzhou!"

Yunzhou was plagued by bandits and was also known as the Bandit Prefecture!

The imperial court had the least influence and control over Yunzhou.

Even if you're wanted by the authorities, you'll be safe in Yunzhou. If you're ruthless enough, you can simply become an outlaw, honing your martial arts skills and gaining power!

Many wanted criminals and outlaws from the martial arts world like to gather in Yunzhou!

Wei Yuan had obviously already thought of this, and was not surprised at all.

“If I were Zhou Chixiong, I would definitely choose Yunzhou as my place of escape.”

Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan nodded in unison.

That's right.

That's Yunzhou!

Zhou Chixiong will not travel to the land of the alien race with his family, as that would make their future life extremely inconvenient.

Staying in Yunzhou would be different; it would allow them to evade the imperial court's pursuit and also benefit their family's daily life.

Now Nangong Qianrou was in a bit of a predicament.

The imperial court had little control over Yunzhou, and the night watchmen had the same problem.

Moreover, Yunzhou was plagued by bandits, making the search for and capture of Zhou Chixiong even more difficult.

“Send a letter to the spies in Yunzhou and tell them to keep an eye out for Zhou Chixiong’s whereabouts.”

"However, finding Zhou Chixiong will be extremely difficult, so we can't put all our eggs in one basket."

Wei Yuan said calmly.

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Nangong Qianrou, while the second half was addressed to Su Nan.

After all, Su Nan was the person in charge of the Sangbo bombing case!

……

Dusk.

Liu Gonggong returned to the palace before the city gates closed. With the help of his sons, he changed into casual clothes, took a bath, and was drinking his pre-meal tea.

A young eunuch hurried in and said in a soft voice, "Godfather, His Majesty has sent someone to invite you."

Eunuch Liu pinched the bridge of his nose and said irritably, "I know!"

He took a sip of water, told his son to change his clothes, and put on a python robe. Just as he stepped out the door, he suddenly remembered something.

"Bring us the case file, the one we brought back today."

The young eunuch went back to his room to fetch it.

We arrived at the Hall of Tranquility.

After the announcement was made, Eunuch Liu was led into the hall and met Emperor Yuanjing, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a long, flowing beard.

Emperor Yuanjing did not meditate or conduct official business; he held a book in his hand, but his thoughts were not on the book.

"Liu Rong, I sent people to urge the progress of the case, it's been a whole day, what progress have been made?"

Emperor Yuanjing spoke in a calm tone.

But Eunuch Liu felt a chill run down his spine!

He had served in the palace for decades and knew Emperor Yuanjing's temperament well!

The more His Majesty adopted this posture, the more frustrated he became.

Asking about the case was a pretense; his real purpose was to find an excuse to lash out!

Liu Gonggong felt a wave of fear, followed by relief!

Fortunately, I was prepared, and I actually made some gains today.

At this moment, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but want to kowtow to Su Nan!

Fortunately, Su Zhexian and Lü Qing came up with some important clues that were enough to solve the Sangbo bombing case.

Otherwise, relying solely on those incompetent officials in the Ministry of Justice and the Kyoto Prefecture, they probably wouldn't make any progress even after several days of discussion!

Then His Majesty is definitely going to unleash his fury today!

A banished immortal is above!

"Your Majesty, this is a summary of today's cases, which I was just about to show you."

Eunuch Liu took out a thin booklet from his sleeve.

The chief eunuch of Emperor Yuanjing, dragging a whisk in his hand, came over, took the booklet, and respectfully handed it to Emperor Yuanjing.

Emperor Yuanjing put the book aside, took the booklet, and examined it intently.

As I looked at it, my eyebrows started to rise.
