What appeared in front of Li Fan and Yang Yan was a bloody murder scene.
Prince Wang Zhong, whom he had met once before, was killed in the room at some unknown time. The person who died with him in the room was a young woman.
She was wearing a thin bellyband, and she seemed to have just woken up from her sleep, with a look of panic on her face.
On the other hand, Eunuch Wang had a somewhat calm expression on his face, and even a sense of inexplicable relief, as if he was finally free.
"Who killed him and why?"
Li Ao murmured to himself, looking around the room and found no trace of rummaging through the cabinets. It didn't look like he was seeking money.
This is actually understandable. It is impossible for ordinary thieves to deal with such a strange master. Those who can deal with it will definitely look down on the small amount of money placed in this room.
The gold ingots and other objects found in Huang's house and drawn with Hushan brushes may indeed arouse some people's greed.
But just because of the money, rushing here rashly is not something that the high-minded big shots in the court can do.
If the other party dares to do this, he must be confident, and even if others find out, there will be no worries...
"Why does this handwriting look like... it was done by the West Factory?"
Yang Yu hesitated for a while and then suddenly said.
The reason why she hesitated was not to deny her judgment, but because Xichang would not be able to easily attack such a chief eunuch.
No matter how deep the grudges are and how many conflicts are hidden in daily life, they don’t dare.
The only possibility is to receive instructions from above.
When an official of the imperial court breaks the law, he must be interrogated and punished according to the law. However, as a eunuch, no matter how powerful or high his position is, he is just a domestic slave that the emperor can deal with at his own discretion.
But this just shows that there is only one person who can decide their life or death...
"Why did Your Majesty want to kill him? Did he think he was not doing things well, or did he learn too much in that villa and wanted to kill him?
Or maybe they just suspect that he was corrupted by strange power..."
"I don't know, I don't know either..."
Yang Ju no longer had the playful smile she had before, and her expression was troubled.
Suddenly, Li Fan remembered something. He went over and touched Wang Gonggong's body, and unexpectedly found that the body was still warm, as if he had died not long ago.
"Those people left just before we arrived!"
"So what, do you still want to catch up and question them?"
"No, I just want to confirm whether they will continue to kill those Tiqi."
"Forget it, how about continuing to kill, what if you don't?
If the father really wants to kill them, there are more than one gang of killers in the West Factory. If he wants to do it, he should do it at the same time to avoid leaking the news!
Moreover, even if you really hit me, you can still stop it. If that is the case, how can you explain that you are also curious about the secrets here? Do you want to pry into the secret of immortality that Wang Zhong obtained from it?
The more important thing now is to protect yourself wisely and get yourself out of here without attracting any attention as much as possible! ….
Don’t forget, my father has a magic pen in his hand that can divine ghosts and gods. It can predict everything and know the past and the future!
He is not omniscient, but it is impossible to ask something out of thin air without any reason. There must be a reason and clues before he can use it. For example, if the people in the West Factory report that everything is the same during this trip, there is no need. Use it, but if you report that you were stopped by a masked man with high martial arts skills, do you think he will use that rare treasure to find you? "
Hearing Yang Yan's words, Li Fan couldn't help but fell silent.
In fact, he already knew about the existence of the Fuqi Magic Brush.
I didn't feel anything about it at the time, but now, facing the possibility of being completely seen through, I can suddenly feel the terrible oppression it brings.
Only then did he realize how terrifying it would be for a high-ranking and powerful person to be able to decide between life and death with a single word even if he had no power at all. He had mastered strange treasures and other things.
Yang Ju continued to advise: "If it wasn't Xichang who did it, there would be no need to pursue him. If you dare to do such a thing, the government and the public will be shocked. My father will also use the Fuqi magic pen to find the real culprit and deal with it. "
"You're right, the first priority is to leave first."
Li Fan weighed it in his mind and found that what he originally wanted to confirm was meaningless.
Wang Zhong is dead, and even knowing that he has not been transformed into a skeleton man will not change anything.
The top priority is to be vigilant about this matter and to find out Emperor Delon's true intentions.
After all, he had entered that place before, and he might also be suspected of knowing something.
…
The next day soon came. Li Ao went to the headquarters and made some inquiries. He couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.
Sure enough, it was quiet, and there was no sign of alarm at all.
Some of last night's speculations came true. It must have been the work of the West Factory. If it hadn't been for the emperor's cronies in the West Factory, no one would have had the courage to conceal the murder of the eunuch who was the chief eunuch of the East Factory.
Time soon arrived in the afternoon, and Beiya, being a well-informed person, finally had some small gossip spread.
"Have you heard? Something seems to have happened over there at Xiudefang..."
"Look at how mysterious you are, what happened?"
"The eunuch Wang Eunuch, the chief eunuch of the East Factory, has become a devil."
"Oh, you're talking about that consumptive ghost. Wasn't he seriously injured a few years ago and was cured by the golden elixir given by His Majesty? But since then, the root of the disease has fallen into place and has not improved. I thought he had already died. I can’t stand it anymore.”
"Yeah, I didn't expect that I could still hold on for so many years. I think I'm lucky..."
Li Fan overheard these discussions and couldn't help but shudder.
Fortunately, after returning home, Yang Ju brought him good news.
"Those Tiqi are fine. We can basically confirm that Wang Zhong is the only one our father wants to kill! In fact, we were in such a hurry that we didn't even have time to check whether any of Wang Zhong's servants were killed, but the result was that they were not. , but I went to bed early last night, and when I woke up the next day, I found that my master had turned into a walking corpse..."
"Then this is most likely to cover up the truth in the skeleton illusion. Wang Zhong must have discovered something beyond us, and only His Majesty was informed."
Li Fan's mood was a little complicated.
As a result, at this moment, the great eunuch Huang Bo, who had come to the Hou Mansion before to convey his decree, suddenly visited and brought Emperor Delong's secret decree.
"The Holy One ordered Li Aiqing to enter the palace immediately to meet the Holy One. There must be no mistake!"
Li Fan learned that his scalp was numb.
96.
Don’t ask the common people, ask ghosts and gods
