Chapter 39 Analysis of Southern Jiangsu: The Unknown Forces in Yunzhou! [Seeking Flowers and Monthly Tickets]
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou entered the tea room.
Both of them turned their gazes to the young man sitting opposite their godfather.
He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing!
Although it was the first time Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou had met Su Nan, they recognized him from his demeanor, appearance, and almost trademark wine gourd.
The banished immortal of the Great Feng Dynasty, from southern Jiangsu.
This person has an extremely close relationship with the murder of Zhou Li.
It's even possible that Zhou Li's death was orchestrated by him.
However, this person was not only a retainer of the eldest princess, but also on good terms with Caiwei, a girl from the Imperial Observatory.
I heard that even Princess Lin'an and Princess Pingyang went to the Ministry of Justice that day.
This person may seem to have no background or strength, but in reality, he is involved with a large group of privileged young women.
So the two gong-beaters didn't act rashly and invited Su Nan to the night watchman's office for tea.
If this is not handled properly, Haoqi Tower will suffer the same fate as the Ministry of Justice.
A large group of privileged young women came to block the door and demand their return.
I'm afraid even the godfather wouldn't be able to handle that situation.
Wei Yuan glanced at the two people who walked in and said indifferently, "This is Su Zhexian."
"I met him by chance at the Imperial Observatory and invited him to the night watchman's office to discuss the case."
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou were quite polite, bowing to Su Nan.
"Su Zhe Xian".
Su Nan also returned the greeting.
"I have met the two Golden Gongs."
Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan kept looking Su Nan up and down.
There are simply too many legends and rumors about this young man.
Not long ago, the tax fraud case and the murder of Zhou Li also occurred.
Both cases are related to southern Jiangsu!
The former is the breakthrough of southern Jiangsu.
In the second case, Su Nan was one of the suspects.
However, it is not difficult to see from the godfather's attitude towards Su Nan that he seems to treat Su Nan with great respect.
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou naturally dared not treat Su Nan as a suspect in the case.
"Su Zhexian, what are your thoughts on the tax silver case?"
Wei Yuan asked.
He invited Su Nan to discuss the case.
Since they have already agreed to help Su Nan cover up Zhou Li's murder.
So now the only thing we can talk about is the tax and silver case.
Both Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan looked somewhat confused.
Why would my godfather suddenly bring up the tax silver case?
Isn't this case already closed?
The two officials who embezzled tax money have been executed.
Although Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou both knew that the tax silver case was definitely not that simple.
However, it is quite difficult to investigate.
All leads ended with those two people, making it impossible to investigate further.
The two of them looked at Su Nan at the same time.
Su Nan was the one who solved the tax evasion case, but it's probably difficult for him to find out more information.
After all, he hadn't even touched the case; he'd only glanced at the file.
Solving a case is impossible without extensive investigation and interviews.
At least Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou have never seen anyone who can solve cases while sitting in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) and embracing a courtesan!
However, Su Nan smiled and said, "I do have some guesses."
Wei Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "Please, Immortal Su, speak frankly."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou exchanged a glance, their eyes showing surprise.
Could this kid actually have some other clues?
“You already know about metallic sodium; it’s the fake tax silver.”
Su Nan asked.
Wei Yuan and the two gong players nodded slightly.
This fake tax silver was actually made by Caiwei.
However, Wei Yuan and Yang Yan both knew very well that it was actually Su Nan who provided the method for refining counterfeit tax silver.
"The method of refining counterfeit tax silver is extremely difficult; even Song Qing has had difficulty succeeding."
"Moreover, the amount of counterfeit tax silver this time is quite large, enough to replace 150,000 taels of silver!"
"Therefore, the one who produced this batch of counterfeit tax silver must have been a high-level sorcerer."
Wei Yuan drank his tea calmly, while Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou nodded repeatedly.
That's right, 85210.4278
The Imperial Observatory attempted to imitate the production of counterfeit tax silver, but to no avail.
The one who concocted the fake tax silver behind the scenes must be a master sorcerer!
"So the mastermind behind this is a high-level sorcerer?!"
With a cold expression and sculpted features, Yang Yan couldn't help but speak.
Wei Yuan merely glanced at his adopted son and said a word.
Yang Yan realized he had spoken at the wrong time and immediately bowed to Wei Yuan and Su Nan in apology!
"Su Zhexian, continue," Wei Yuan said calmly.
Su Nan then continued, "You should know that the main raw material for metallic sodium is salt."
"To refine sodium metal equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver, a large amount of salt is needed!"
"Salt is mainly divided into rock salt, lake salt and sea salt, and most of the production areas are controlled by the imperial court."
"The salt used by the people of Dafeng on a daily basis is mostly refined mineral salt and lake salt."
“If someone buys up large quantities of salt, it will definitely cause fluctuations in salt prices, and the local government will not fail to notice.”
"Therefore, the only way to obtain a large amount of salt in a short period of time without the control of the imperial court is through sea salt."
"Among the thirteen prefectures of the Great Feng Dynasty, Yun Prefecture is located by the sea."
“In recent years, banditry in Yunzhou has intensified, and the imperial court’s control over Yunzhou has been very weak.”
"Therefore, I can conclude that the mastermind behind the tax silver case comes from Yunzhou, and that there is a high-level sorcerer among them!"
"This faction colluded with some court officials to plot the tax silver case."
"..."
After Su Nan finished speaking, the tea room was completely silent.
Su Nan silently took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.
Wei Yuan blew on the teacup in his hand, and the hot steam billowed, obscuring his expression.
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou, who were standing to the side, both showed extremely shocked expressions.
This line of reasoning is logically sound and interconnected!
Su Nan did not look through the case files, much less conduct inquiries.
He gleaned so much from just a small piece of tax silver.
They even deduced where the force behind it all came from, and that there was a high-ranking sorcerer involved!
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou, being Jinluo, usually did not submit to anyone and only listened to Wei Yuan.
But now, hearing Su Nan's analysis...
Both Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou felt a surge of admiration!
There's a reason why people from southern Jiangsu are called "banished immortals"!
Their deductive reasoning ability alone is something that the other two can only dream of.
In fact, Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou did not originally take the case of the missing tax silver too seriously.
It was nothing more than those audacious individuals who, in their greed for a windfall, dared to attempt to rob tax revenue.
However, after hearing Su Nan's analysis, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines!
An unknown force from Yunzhou!
We have a high-ranking warlock in charge!
A clandestine operation within Kyoto to switch tax money!
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou's expressions changed slightly.
This is no longer a simple matter of lost tax money.
