Chapter 2315: Report

Chapter 2315: Report

?

"Ah..." Song Chuan felt that Prime Minister Lan had some truth in his words and couldn't refute it for a while.

Human's nature was indeed the hardest to guess.

And in this matter, what they faced was the fact that there were some people who would not care about anything else and only care about their own benefit.

"Why do you bring me here?" Song Chuan asked.

There were other ministers under Prime Minister Lan and normally speaking, it was not his turn to come. But for some reasons, Prime Minister Lan suddenly sent some people to look for him.

Being a lower ranked minister, Song Chuan couldn't refuse and had to come here to follow Prime Minister Lan's order.

However, it was inevitable that he was curious.

"I want you to talk with the person who reported," Prime Minister Lan replied.

Song Chuan was confused.

He didn't feel that he was a person who was easy to talk to. Moreover, it didn't seem to be useful for him to be the one to step forward, right?

Prime Minister Lan could see Song Chuan's' confusion, but he didn't explain much and only pointed to the distance.

While the teacher has been brought away for the interrogation, the student who made the report was still in the Capital Academy. They had asked him some questions, but looking at the identity of this student, Prime Minister Lan decided to call Song Chuan to do the question instead.

He was sure that it would be more beneficial to ask Song CHuan to come forward.

"Ah?" Song Chuan followed Prime Minister Lan's hand and looked at the student in the distance. When he saw that the person in front of him was Nan Hou Xiang, he was stunned. He glanced at Prime Minister Lan who nodded his head.

"Nan Hou Xiang?" Song Chuan asked in a low voice. Even though Nan Hou Xiang was no longer part of the Nan Family, there were still many people who remembered him. Song Chuan naturally knew about him since Long Qian Xing once investigated the entire Nan Family.

It has been many years since the last time Nan Hou Xiang appeared in public.

At least, many people didn't think that they knew this brat.

"Yes." Prime Minister Lan nodded. "Your task is to ask him some questions related to how he managed to figure it out."

"Ok." Song Chuan rubbed his forehead and walked towards Nan Hou Xiang. If Song Chuan had to say, he really didn't want to do this job at all.

But Prime Minister Lan had given the order, so he could only bite the bullet and follow it.

At this moment, Nan Hou Xiang was sitting calmly.

He knew very well that he should have kept a low profile and didn't do anything unnecessary. Because his sensitive identity would make it difficult for him to do many things that ordinary people could do.

When he stepped forward to report, what these people thought at the beginning was not whether the man was truly a spy but whether he could be trusted or not.

Thankfully, a little investigation was all that was needed.

The teacher had much more money than what he could get from his salary as a teacher. And it was impossible to come from other jobs or his wife since they have seen the financial record.

The officials moved very quickly.

It seemed that the system in Fei Yang Kingdom had improved greatly after Emperor Yang Zhou sat on the throne. There were many things that was previously impossible but now it seemed to be very easy for him to do.

The teacher was brought away.

As for Nan Hou Xiang?

He was still waiting here.

He could guess that these officials still didn't put away their suspicion from him and thought that he might worked together with that person. To be honest, Nan Hou Xiang had no interest to move to other kingdom.

Nan Hou Xiang knew very well what he was capable of.

Even if he was slightly smarter than other people, it had not reached the point where he could completely crush them.

Would they value someone like him who was only somewhat better than others?

To be honest, Nan Hou Xiang sincerely doubt it.

He didn't look down on himself, but he knew that he would not worth that much trouble for many people. Perhaps, they could also use him to deal with the Nan Family but Nan Hou Xiang didn't want to be used as a pawn.

It would be better for him to strive for his own future than relying on others. "Minister," Nan Hou Xiang greeted and cupped his fist. He didn't recognize Song Chuan or it was more like, he didn't recognize anyone. It was not like he had any friends in the ministry either.

When his father fell, those who were close to his father were also implicated more or less.

So even if there were some who were still an official, they have no interest to come to Nan Hou

Xiang.

It was already very good if they didn't come to trouble Nan Hou Xiang.

After all, they should hate his father for implicating their families and put them in predicament. These ministers only cared for their own benefit and would not like if other

people bring them down, even if these people used to be their 'friends.'

"Student Nan Hou Xiang," Song Chuan replied with a smile. "There's no need to be so polite. My name is Song Chuan and I'm here to ask you some questions."

Song Chuan?

Nan Hou Xiang turned the list of names from his mind and determined that he didn't know this Song Chuan. He should be a minister who had no connection whatsoever with his father in

the past.

When he thought about this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Nan Hou Xiang was actually a bit worried that they would pick someone who had grudge against his father to question him. At that time, it was unknown whether he would be able to pass this hurdle safely or not.
