"You guys aren't here to buy meat, are you here to cause trouble?"
"I wonder where I have offended any of them?"
Nangong Qianrou closed the shop door.
Southern Jiangsu
Do you recognize this object?
The shop owner's gaze fell on the jade pendant. In the candlelight, its color was warm and lustrous, and its cut was neat, as if it had been cut in two by a sharp object.
The boss's pupils immediately contracted sharply!
"Who are you to Zhou Min?"
Su Nan said calmly, "You don't need to know who we are."
"answer my question."
The shop owner nodded slightly. "Please wait a moment."
At Su Nan's suggestion, Li Miaozhen released the shop owner from his restraints.
Then the boss limped into a room next door.
With a Heavenly Sect Saintess and a fourth-rank martial artist present, the boss couldn't come up with any tricks.
Soon, the shop owner returned, carrying half a jade pendant and a booklet.
The jade pendant fit perfectly with the half-piece of jade pendant that Yang Yingying had given her.
"You've come to ask for something, haven't you?" the shop owner said, handing over the booklet.
"This is what Zhou Min left with me."
"When Zhou Min handed me this booklet, he instructed me that the jade pendant was a token and that I would not receive anything without seeing the jade pendant."
“Even if it’s him personally, it won’t work. So it doesn’t matter if I don’t know your identities. I only recognize the jade pendant, not the person.”
They only recognize the jade pendant, not the person, because the Zhou Min who came to collect the evidence might not actually be Zhou Min.
Su Nan took the ledger and glanced at it.
can't read.
Do you really think he knows everything?
He then handed it to Nangong Qianrou.
Nangong Qianrou only flipped through a few pages before whispering:
"This is an account book, recording the military supplies that disappeared from the Commandery without cause. Every single entry is recorded very clearly."
This is the evidence that Zhou Min left for Su Nan and the others!
With this evidence, we can arrest and interrogate the second-rank commander!
Although a direct conviction cannot be made yet, Yang Chuannan's crimes can be basically confirmed!
Looking at the ledger in her hand, Nangong Qianrou couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
In just two or three days, the case in Yunzhou was solved.
She had thought she would be staying here for at least several months!
Nangong Qianrou looked at Su Nan with a complicated expression.
This guy... is indeed quite formidable!
Chapter 87 Interrogation of Liang Youping, the Truth of the Yunzhou Case
Su Nan and Nangong Qianrou were both delighted to have the ledger in hand.
Because this ledger is the key to solving the case!
Once we obtain this ledger, we can apprehend and interrogate Yang Chuannan, and the process will be much faster.
However, Li Miaozhen, standing to the other side, also had a look of joy on her face.
"Not only did they obtain the ledgers, but they also had unexpected intentions."
Li Miaozhen put her hand on the shop owner's shoulder and smiled.
"Liang Youping, I didn't expect to see you here!"
The shop owner's face suddenly turned pale with surprise when he heard Li Miaozhen call out his name.
How did you know my name?!
Li Miaozhen had previously shared the clues she possessed with the imperial envoy's team.
One of the most important people among them was Liang Youping, an officer in the Bureau of Experience.
This person was also a member of the Qi faction.
However, just as Li Miaozhen and Yang Chuannan found out about this person, he mysteriously disappeared.
Li Miaozhen never expected to run into Liang Youping in this shop!
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
"You handed the account books over to the imperial envoy's team, presumably to frame Yang Chuannan."
Li Miaozhen snorted coldly.
Liang Youping's expression was uncertain, and he remained silent for a long time.
"It's not safe here. Let's take the ledgers and people back first."
Ling Sunan said.
Long Li Miaozhen and Nangong Qianrou nodded, and the three of them immediately set off back to the post station.
Inside the post station, Governor Zhang and his entourage waited anxiously.
Having finally solved the mystery left by Zhou Min, I wonder if I'll be able to get my hands on the evidence.
If this time it's another mystery, that would be a real headache.
When the three from southern Jiangsu returned to the post station, Governor Zhang immediately came to greet them.
"Have you got the evidence?"
The governor, abandoning his usual calm and composed demeanor, stared intently at him, his expression revealing barely concealed excitement and agitation.
Nangong Qianrou took out the ledger from her bosom and handed it over.
Governor Zhang eagerly accepted it, but did not open it immediately.
Instead, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and then began to read the ledger.
After only a short while, Governor Zhang exclaimed in utter shock:
"Shocking, shocking... Such a huge sum of money! Yang Chuannan deserves to die."
Governor Zhang's fingers, which were gripping the account book, had turned somewhat white.
Nangong Qianrou glanced at Governor Zhang, her eyes revealing a hint of admiration.
He is indeed a scholar.
After looking at it for a long time, I could only make out a few clues.
Governor Zhang was able to draw a conclusion simply by glancing at it.
"What percentage of the military supplies for the Yunzhou bandits were actually allocated?"
However, Governor Zhang seemed not to hear him, only repeating, "Shocking, shocking..."
Nangong Qianrou understood instantly and stopped asking questions.
Don't ask, the answer is shocking...
"Very well, with this ledger, I can now hold Yang Chuannan accountable."
Governor Zhang was very cautious in his speech.
He did not directly sentence Yang Chuannan to death, but only said that he would question him.
Because of this ledger, Yang Chuannan, whether or not he was the mastermind behind the Yunzhou bandits, is already guilty and cannot escape responsibility.
As the commander of Yunzhou, he had a responsibility no matter what.
Governor Zhang carefully put away the account book, looked at Su Nan, and asked in a deep voice, "I believe speed is of the essence in war, so arrest Yang Chuannan immediately!"
Governor Zhang did nothing wrong.
As the commander-in-chief, Yang Chuannan wields military power. If he doesn't obediently confess his crimes, he'll be in big trouble.
Therefore, Governor Zhang's strategy was to immediately arrest Yang Chuannan and catch him off guard.
Li Miaozhen was about to speak when Su Nan raised his hand to interrupt her.
He looked at Governor Zhang and said, "I think this matter... is not urgent."
"This time when we went to the dog meat shop, we not only got the account book, but also a pleasant surprise."
Upon hearing this, Governor Zhang asked, "An unexpected surprise? What unexpected surprise?"
Li Miaozhen grabbed Liang Youping from behind and threw him in front of everyone.
"He is Liang Youping."
"It's the Qi faction that Yang Chuannan and I discovered before, hidden within the Bureau of Experience!"
Su Nan nodded and said, "Yang Chuannan is not the only member of Qi's faction within the Commandery."
"Although he is undoubtedly guilty, he may not be the mastermind behind it all."
"If we rashly take action against Yang Chuannan, it is very likely to cause a mutiny in the army."
"This would actually give the mastermind an opportunity."
"So my suggestion is...why don't we interrogate Liang Youping first, and then make a decision?"
Governor Zhang immediately nodded in agreement.
He wasn't good at investigating cases, but since Su Nan had said so, he would naturally do as Su Nan said.
