Chapter 31: Enlightenment
Locked the direction of the investigation.
This does not mean that Nian Fan and Li Huan will gain something in the next investigation.
What's more, the person they are going to investigate is the Fourth Prince.
The prince who had the most hope of inheriting the throne in the dynasty.
Even Xia Mingyuan would say hello to the emperor of the dynasty in advance whenever there was an investigation involving the royal family.
But Nianfan and Li Huan decided to launch a private investigation.
It was nothing more than that they knew in their hearts that if a big investigation was launched, it would alarm the fourth prince and alarm the enemy. No matter what the investigation result would be, they would be evil for this.
On the contrary, there is a lot of room for operation in private investigation.
If someone is unfortunate enough to catch someone directly, it can be rude that it is a personal behavior and will not involve or implicate the Demon Suppression Department.
"Brother Huan, you have been in the Demon Suppression Department for many years. The Imperial City can be said to be your territory. I believe you are not unfamiliar with the Fourth Prince. If we conduct an investigation, where do you think we should start first?"
The objectives and directions of the investigation were agreed.
Nian Fan's name for Li Huan became closer.
He thinks he has a good view of people.
Although Li Huan is arrogant, he always talks to him coldly.
But at least he is not hypocritical.
Express your thoughts and emotions very realistically.
This is what Nian Fan admires most.
Practice and practice.
Understanding the mind and nature is the key and foundation of practice.
Even so, this does not mean that practitioners are straight. After all, everyone has different self-seeing.
If you can choose, Nian Fan naturally likes people with direct personalities like Li Huan.
"...If you want to understand the situation of the Fourth Prince, you will naturally start with the people around him."
Li Huan glanced at Nian Fan coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Nian Fan's new name to him.
"Of course I know, the key is that I don't know who is around the Fourth Prince..."
Nian Fan shrugged disapprovingly.
"I will go back to Sili to review the relevant files of the Fourth Prince later."
Li Huan understates.
Files involving royal families have always been top secrets in the department, and this is not something that anyone can read if they want to.
With Li Huan's current status in the Demon Sect, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to successfully review it.
What if Xia Mingyuan was willing to help him?
He knows very well.
Xia Mingyuan now attaches great importance to Nian Fan. Basically, as long as he does not make excessive demands, he will satisfy them as much as possible.
Furthermore.
Li Huan felt a little suspicious in his heart.
The clues he could find in the file were impossible for other folks in the Demon Sect to notice.
What's interesting is that he has never heard of the secret investigation of the Fourth Prince's action arrangements.
As for the reason.
Either Siri did not investigate because of the royal family.
Either the Seri had already launched an investigation, but his current status was not known.
"Since that's the case, I'll wait for the good news from Brother Huan here."
After hearing this, Nian Fan immediately said carelessly.
"good!"
Li Huan said goodbye to Nian Fan without saying a word.
After leaving.
He did not return to the Demon Suppression Division.
Instead, he immediately went to a villa outside the suburbs of the imperial city.
Because this is the villa specially rewarded by the emperor of the dynasty after Xia Mingyuan became the Grand Secretary of the Demon Suppression Department.
However, Xia Mingyuan has been living in the villa for a few times over the years.
But after Xia Mingyuan was demoted to deputy director, according to his statement, he decided to rest and relax for a while and then came to this villa to live.
As for safety, there is no need to worry at all.
You should know that after Xia Mingyuan moved to the villa to live, there was no way to know how many pairs of eyes were staring at this entire imperial city.
Even the demons lurking in the imperial city did not dare to take a risk to go to the villa to assassinate Xia Mingyuan.
Because you will never know how many traps are covered in the villa.
This is not the first time Li Huan has come to this villa.
After walking into the villa with a familiar road, he passed through the passage of people in the villa. He soon saw Xia Mingyuan fishing leisurely by the side of a small lake.
"I will inform the file library at that time, and you can just go to Curry to review it."
After learning about Li Huan's purpose.
Xia Mingyuan said without looking back.
"……Sir Si Lu, my subordinates don't know if there is a question to ask."
Li Huan did not leave immediately.
He stood there, hesitated and pondered for a moment before finally plucking up the courage to say.
"There are no outsiders here. If you have any questions, just ask them."
Xia Mingyuan was still calm.
"Master Si Rui, can you ask if Si Li has ever suspected the Fourth Prince?"
Li Huan took a deep breath and said.
"Sri is not just suspicious."
Xia Mingyuan immediately said something meaningful.
"…I understand, but I don't know a little about it."
Li Huan understood as soon as he heard it.
There is no doubt.
Xia Mingyuan's answer undoubtedly confirmed his speculation.
Sili did have suspicion of the fourth prince, and even launched a secret investigation in private.
The problem is.
Since the ministry has taken action, why should they investigate again? Isn’t this an unnecessary move?
"You seem to have forgotten one thing. The Demon-Suppressing Division has always been the Demon-Suppressing Division of the Jade Ding Dynasty."
Xia Mingyuan said another intriguing thing.
"... I understand, so I will not disturb Lord Si Lu's purity."
Li Huan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he bowed respectfully and left.
Xia Mingyuan’s meaning has been made very clear.
At the end of the day.
The Demon-Shenzhen Department is a powerful departmental organization under the Yuding Dynasty system.
No matter how powerful this department is, it will eventually obey the Yuding Dynasty, or to be more precise, obey the royal family.
To some extent.
The Demon-Shenzhen can be regarded as a "retainer" of the royal family.
The retainer investigated the head of the family without the permission of the head of the family, which was undoubtedly an act of usurpation by the superiors.
Even if Xia Mingyuan had a good relationship with the emperor of the dynasty, the etiquette system in this aspect should not be messed up.
Li Huan didn't know whether Sili asked the emperor of the current dynasty when investigating the fourth prince, but whether it was requested or not, judging from the current results, Sili's investigation was obviously hindered, so there was no progress for a long time.
It reminds me of Xia Mingyuan being derogatory.
Could it be that Xia Mingyuan really couldn't find out why the deaths of the third prince and the chief grandson were found?
No.
Perhaps it was because of some reason that Xia Mingyuan was unable to continue to investigate.
Xia Mingyuan chose Nian Fan and Li Huan to investigate.
Maybe they were regarded as surprise weapons that broke the deadlock.
It is no wonder that Xia Mingyuan will meet their requests as much as possible.
"Mr. Si Lu, my subordinates will not let you down!"
Leave the villa.
Finally, I looked back at the beautiful villa gate.
Chapter completed!
