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

The remnants of the demon race in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons have been plotting for so many years, doing everything they can to rescue Shen Shu.

This news isn't really suitable to share.

That's a bit too shocking.

[Three: Perhaps what's sealed away in Sangbo is some extraordinary figure, maybe a demon or a powerful being related to the demon race.]

Su Nan stopped there and said no more.

By having Li Miaozhen help him search for Zhou Chixiong, he had already achieved his goal.

All that's left is for Li Miaozhen to deliver Zhou Chixiong to Kyoto, and the Sangbo bombing case will be solved!

As for how things will develop afterward, Su Nan is not concerned.

He had already reached the bottleneck of the third rank, and could simply continue his life of debauchery every day.

However, the clues to solving the Sangbo bombing case are not only on Zhou Chixiong, but also on the Taikang County magistrate, who is now in prison.

However, this line will soon break.

[Nine: Number Three, could you do me a small favor?]

Su Nan had already put away the fragments of the Earth Book when he suddenly received a private message from Daoist Jinlian.

[Three: What is it?]

Su Nan looked puzzled.

[Nine: As the chief investigator of the Sangbo bombing case, you should have free access to the capital, right?]

Three: Yes.

After receiving a positive reply from Su Nan, Master Jinlian continued.

[Nine: That's good. Could you please go to Lingbao Temple for me and retrieve a Gathering Yuan Pill from Luo Yuheng, the head of the Human Sect and the current Grand Preceptor of the Great Feng Dynasty?]

Before Su Nan could even ask, Master Jinlian took the initiative to explain the reason.

[Nine: I am currently injured, and leaving the capital might attract the attention of the palace's experts. This Gathering Essence Pill can help me recover from my injuries as quickly as possible.]

When he returned to the Earth Sect on business, Daoist Jinlian was chased by Earth Sect cultivators and suffered serious injuries.

He is still in the capital of Dafeng, but his injuries have not yet healed.

There could be some risks if we encountered a double-cross or members of a powerful sect.

So he wanted to go to the Human Sect to get a Gathering Yuan Pill to recover from his injuries.

However, with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to enter and leave the imperial city silently.

Master Jinlian immediately thought of Su Nan.

As the official in charge, Su Nan should be able to freely enter and leave the imperial city to retrieve the Gathering Yuan Pill for him.

Three: Minor matters.

Su Nan agreed without much hesitation.

Imperial Preceptor Luo Yuheng... a second-grade Transcending Tribulation Realm expert from the Daoist sect!

Su Nan still had some thoughts about this female imperial advisor.

This is a good opportunity to meet them.

[Nine: Thank you very much. Number Three, you are truly kind-hearted. It was a wise move of mine to recruit you into the Heaven and Earth Society.]

……

Haoqi Tower.

Su Nan arrived at the tea room, where Wei Yuan was already seated at the table.

He glanced at Su Nan as she entered the tea room and said indifferently, "Whether Zhou Chixiong can be apprehended and brought to justice is still unknown. Director Su may consider other methods."

"The magistrate of Taikang County has been arrested by the Kyoto Prefecture and may be interrogated."

Su Nan shook his head and said, "It's better not to ask about a dying person."

Wei Yuan frowned.

At this moment, Nangong Qianrou strode into the tea room.

She glanced at Su Nan, then looked at Wei Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Godfather."

"The magistrate of Taikang County died in prison last night, dying suddenly."

"According to the coroner's examination, there were no injuries on the body."

Wei Yuan gave Su Nan a deep look.

"Looks like you guessed right."

Nangong Qianrou didn't know what her godfather meant by those words.

What does it mean that Su Nan guessed correctly again?

Did he already know?

②④①O Will Magistrate Zhao die?

"Father, Magistrate Zhao's death is too strange. He was only imprisoned last night, and died in prison in just three or four hours!"

"It's highly likely they killed him to cover their tracks!"

"In this way, with Zhou Chixiong's escape, the clues to the Sangbo bombing case have been completely cut off!"

"..."

Magistrate Zhao's death was so strange that even a fool could see the trick involved!

"What does the organizer, Su, think?"

Wei Yuan did not express his opinion, but instead looked at Su Nan.

“The magistrate of Taikang County is just an insignificant figure; even if we interrogate him, we won’t find anything out.”

"The demon race has no reason to kill him to silence him; otherwise, they would have killed him long ago. Why keep him here until today?"

"His death was probably caused by someone else."

Nangong Qianrou frowned slightly.

What Su Nan said makes some sense.

"Party strife?"

Wei Yuan was the first to react and uttered two words.

Su Nan nodded.

"I am not very familiar with the factional struggles in the court. I wonder if Lord Wei could enlighten me?"

As the head of the night watchman's office and a lone official in the court, Wei Yuan was naturally well aware of the factional struggles.

"Since His Majesty began his Taoist practice, he has become somewhat negligent in his duties, and numerous factions have sprung up in the court."

"But those who can have a significant impact on the court are none other than the Wang faction, the Liang faction, the Qi faction, and the Yan faction."

"The Wang faction was led by Grand Secretary Wang Zhenwen, and included Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Xianping, Minister of Rites, and Minister of Justice. It could be called the largest faction in the court."

"Liang's faction included former Minister of War Zhang Tai and others, but suffered heavy losses due to the attack on Princess Pingyang."

At this point, Wei Yuan glanced at Su Nan.

The attack on Princess Pingyang was orchestrated by Wei Yuan and Su Nan.

"As for the Qi faction, they include the Minister of Works and the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, among others, and should not be underestimated."

"..."

Wei Yuan gave a brief introduction to the various factions in the Great Feng court.

The most influential party was the royalist faction!

However, the strength of other smaller parties should not be underestimated; they might suffer a major setback someday.

"Tsk tsk, Emperor Yuanjing's imperial tactics are truly masterful, making the court a chaotic mess."

Su Nan clicked his tongue.

If there weren't so many political parties, the Great Feng court wouldn't be in such a chaotic state.

Even in the case of the Sangbo bombing, these parties were still fighting and scheming against each other.

Chapter 60 The Essence of the Sangbo Case, Female Imperial Advisor Luo Yuheng

"The magistrate of Zhao died silently, which is very likely the work of the Taoist sect or the Witch God Sect."

"Only these two systems are capable of killing people in secret."

"The Taoist sects are nothing more than the three schools of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. The Heaven school is supremely detached from worldly affairs and does not interfere in worldly matters. The Earth school focuses on cultivating merit and would not do such a thing."

"The only one left is the Human Sect, but the Human Sect is now the state religion of the Great Feng Dynasty. What would they gain by killing Magistrate Zhao?"

"Therefore, the suspicion of the Taoist sect can be basically ruled out, which leaves only the Witch God Sect."

"The Sangbo bombing is related to the demon race, and it's likely that the Witch God Cult is also involved."

"Do you remember the gunpowder used in the Sangbo bombing?"

Su Nan looked up at Wei Yuan and Nangong Qianrou and asked a very important but very trivial question.

Who lit the gunpowder?

Nangong Qianrou's breath hitched!

She hadn't really considered this question before!

Yes.

Zhou Chixiong and others transported gunpowder into the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple, but the gunpowder did not explode on its own.

Someone must have lit the gunpowder!

The only ones capable of this are either the Imperial Guards protecting Sangbo... or...
