After finishing this matter, Li Chuan worked hard and immediately led people to check the letters and various financial and food accounts in Hong Yongfa's house.
His thinking was that for such an organized and powerful gang in the countryside, there must be letters to communicate with each other, recruitment of troops, and evil intentions, which must involve the mobilization of large amounts of money, food, and resources.
This has been verified when the Huang family was in Taoshan Town. Through those accounts, many things can be sorted out very clearly.
This is beyond the reach of relying solely on confessions.
As for whether there are no accounts and other related issues, that is another matter.
The power of weirdness adds weird magic and various strange abilities, but it may not necessarily add organizational and leadership skills, nor may it increase a person's knowledge and vision.
So checking them from this aspect is like a dimensionality reduction attack.
Soon, under the guidance of his concubine Yu'er, Li Fan got what he wanted.
He didn't bother to take a rest, so he asked people to look at the things that they couldn't read for the time being, and picked out some key points to read.
The first thing to do is to confirm whether there have been any unusually large expenses in the house recently.
Check your income and expenses for several months in succession to see if there is any extra support, filial piety, etc.
The problem was quickly discovered.
"This Yongxing Trading Company..."
"It's a tool used by the Demon Sect to hide from others. Normally, the Hong family transfers money and food to the members of the Sect and their nephews through transactions with this trading house."
It turns out that it is a channel for conveying benefits.
Li Fan then asked Yu'er to reveal some key names and contact information.
But Yu'er said: "This place has always been managed by the inner house and the outer house. I don't know the specific situation."
Li Fan had no choice but to continue asking other questions, trying to figure out the internal relationship of the family first.
At this moment, Li Fan suddenly found a letter.
Different from other letters in which Hong Yongfa communicated with people in the demon sect, this letter was stored alone in another box, alone and without company.
Due to lack of time, Li Fan originally had no interest in checking each letter one by one, but when he was about to pick it up and put it away, he suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the box containing the letter.
"Exotic treasure"
Writings like flames floated and jumped, with a somewhat disturbing aura emerging on this thing.
Just looking at it gives me a heart-stopping feeling.
This aura is very secretive. It doesn't seem to be the type that spreads outwards. It won't hurt anyone casually, but it needs to meet certain special conditions.
Li Fan continued to read and found some clues.
What's hidden inside actually dies after reading it?
Li Chuan's face looked slightly cold.
What a great Hong Yongfa! What a country rich man!
There is such a secret method of killing!
I just don’t know whether the Yu’er in front of me knows or not.
He pondered for a moment and carefully took out the letter.
Sure enough, he saw a thick mist as black as hair coiling around it. At first glance, it looked like the hair of a female ghost.
Looking into the box along this thread, I saw a deep darkness.
If you were a stranger with keen senses, you might vaguely notice something was wrong, but at most you would just think it was some strange treasure.
Sure enough, several people in the room came over and stared at the box.
"Sir, why do I feel a bit chilly? I'm afraid this thing is a bit evil..."
"How about putting it away first?"
Li Fan waved his hand: "You come and read it."
The person pointed at was clearly Yu'er.
Yu'er didn't know what it meant, but she still took the letter obediently and read it.
"Brother Mingshan, Taijian, farewell last year..."
While the other party was reciting the letter, Li Fan kept paying attention to the strange aura and found that strands of hair extended from the box and slowly coiled around Yu'er's head and neck.
The writing inside seemed to turn into black shadow, and the number of hairs continued to increase.
But the people around who heard it chanting didn't seem to be affected.
"Does the law of killing require 'direct reading' and 'complete reading'..."
There is nothing noteworthy about the content of this letter. It is just an ordinary reminiscence of old times and seems to be a way of connecting feelings.
This makes people feel uninterested and will naturally lose their vigilance.
But at the same time, because it involves people from the Demon Cult, people don’t dare to miss it easily.
Because the person who wrote this letter seemed to be an elder with a high status in the demon sect. He actively recruited Hong Yongfa and even called him "brother". He was obviously very optimistic about this "hero".
"stop!"
After Yu'er read for most of the time, Li Kuan suddenly stopped.
Then he pointed at a subordinate casually.
"It's up to you to read it."
The subordinate was a little confused about what he meant, but he still did it.
Li Fan continued to look at Yu'er, and found that the hair on her body was slowly transferred to the subordinate's body.
Li Fan had no choice but to stop again.
"You can't continue to recite it. If you continue to recite it, something will happen...
Come, go to the place where the people in the mansion are detained and bring over a literate servant of the mansion. "
Even though two of his subordinates did as he was told.
Yu'er was a little confused: "Sir..."
Li Ao ignored her and waited for the person who wanted to mention her.
He was a powerful slave in the palace, tall and round, but he was groveling and fawning.
When he saw Li Chuan, he immediately knelt down and said, "The common people are paying homage to the official. I wonder what the official has ordered?"
"You come and read this letter."
Amid everyone's inexplicable surprise, Li Fan handed over this task to him.
Yan Yuandi's expression began to change slightly.
Several experienced subordinates also vaguely noticed something, and calmly stayed away from the man.
Yu'er was confused at first, then realized, and her eyes widened suddenly.
"As commanded."
The servant didn't know what was going on, thinking that he had been reused, so he happily took the letter and read it.
He read it from the beginning.
The hair was also transferred again from the previous subordinates.
After being coiled up one by one, there is no abnormality.
But just when he finished reciting most of it and was about to recite the last paragraph, his eyes just glanced at it and suddenly froze.
"Uh... uh..."
He subconsciously grabbed his neck, as if something was wrapped around him, but he couldn't catch anything.
In just a few breaths, his complexion inevitably turned purple, and his whole body felt like he was suffocating and unable to breathe.
thump.
After a while, he fell down and became completely silent.
Everyone was shocked.
Yu'er's body was also shaken and she almost collapsed to the ground.
"What a rare treasure. It's stable and effective enough. It's a good way to deal with snoops!"
Li Fan laughed.
