"What, Eunuch Liu from the inner court and Eunuch Yuan from the East Factory?"
Looking at the other party illuminated by the torch, everyone in the Demon Suppression Department was a little confused for a moment.
But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the other party's clothing, demeanor, and posture are all the same, and they do not look fake.
"Please wait a moment, I will report it soon."
When the subordinates brought by Li Fan saw this scene, they couldn't stop it easily and said quickly.
A moment later, inside Hong Mansion.
"Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Yuan?"
Li Fan and Yan Yuandi looked at each other and saw a bit of surprise in each other's eyes.
"I worked with Liu Tong before. He was indeed a figure in the palace. I have some vague impressions of Eunuch Yuan...
I just don’t know why they got the news so quickly and came here on errands on the emperor’s orders. "
"Sir, do you think...will..."
Yan Yuandi was hesitant and said with some uncertainty: "What is the connection between this person and the palace?
But this makes no sense. The local tycoons should not be so powerful. If the people in the palace are colluding with the demon sect, they are afraid of involving them, so they send people to recover evidence, and they will not be so blatant. . "
Li Fan took a look at the money, account books, letters and other items that he had finally plundered from the Hong Mansion, snorted coldly, and directly picked up a few key items and put them away.
He immediately signaled to everyone: "Divide these worry-free stones and treat them as rewards for the brothers who are on official business!"
He took three pieces for himself first. When Yan Yuandi and the leaders at all levels saw this, their eyes lit up and they each put away one piece. If there were more, they automatically put away the money and kept it to be taken back and recorded.
Given how precious this kind of thing is, hundreds of households can share it without even thinking about it.
But if you have meritorious service in the future, or if you are appreciated by a superior for other things, you may still have a chance.
If you enter the public account of the hall, you will have the opportunity to enjoy it when the time comes.
Then Li Fan took Yan Yuandi and others out, ready to see if the other party was really from over there, who came here, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
…
At the gate, Liu Tong and Yuan Zhi dismounted and waited with worried expressions.
In the name of the inner court and Dongchang, which everyone feared, they had to wait at the door to do business.
This is something unique.
However, when Li Fan's figure appeared at the door, the expressions on their faces suddenly changed, and they were all smiling again, becoming kind and pleasant.
"Prince-in-law, our family is polite!"
"Slave Yuan Zhi, please see Consort Li!"
"Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Yuan!" A look of surprise flashed across Li Chong's face.
It's really them!
Among them, Liu Tong was the master of Ouchi who held the "Exotic Treasure".
In the past, when he was running errands for the emperor, he had come forward to cooperate as a backup force for entering and exiting the Baihua Tower in the Quiet Realm.
Later, in order to enter the "Uncanny Realm" and regain Li Chuan's heart, Yang Yan also loaned him out from Ouchi.
Although that operation failed and the goal was not achieved, the experience of working together can be regarded as a personal relationship.
As for Yuan Zhi, Li Fan had no friendship with him, but they had met him several times.
"What kind of wind has brought you here? This is just to wipe out a country tycoon. Do you need to go out personally?"
Li Fan pretended to be surprised, with a somewhat exaggerated look on his face, and asked the question he was concerned about.
"It just so happens that we were questioning people in the mansion just now. If you two want to know anything, let's come together for interrogation. I just don't know if the time is right in the middle of the night..."
"The Prince Consort is really joking. People from the county government led us to find this place. Why are we here for this country tycoon..."
Liu Tong shook his head and said with a somewhat dumbfounded expression.
"Then what are you..."
"We're here for that heart demon!"
Yuan Zhi glanced at Liu Tong, who was twisting and turning, and decided to get straight to the point.
Immediately, he took out a token from his waist, and the golden king's life flag appeared with an extraordinary aura. It was painted with a five-clawed golden dragon, which was mighty and domineering.
"The edict is issued by Liu Tong and Yuan Zhi to investigate the case of harming Huanyangchang, the heart of the holy city. The military, civilians, officials and workers along the way will fully cooperate, and there must be no mistakes!
Consort Li, please forgive me for offending you. Your Majesty has ordered that whenever traces of the mind are found, they will be recovered as soon as possible and presented to the palace.
We came here following this thing, and found out halfway that it had been captured by your troops in Fulin County, so we came to inquire. "
Li Fan's eyes moved slightly: "Eunuch Yuan, I'm afraid you are not just asking for a simple consultation. This is not kind!"
Liu Tong and Yuan Zhi looked embarrassed, but their attitudes remained firm and they did not intend to explain or give in much.
The close subordinates who were following him looked at each other, and somewhat understood what was going on.
This matter, I am afraid it is really Jane in the Emperor's heart, has attracted great attention.
If not, who would dare or be willing to offend the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion for no reason?
Even when facing ordinary people from the Demon Suppression Division, they would not do things like this.
The power possessed by the Demon-Suppressing Division was even more powerful than theirs, but it was not subordinate to the emperor's cronies. Sometimes, it would be easy to defeat them without them.
After Yuan Zhi finished playing the bad part, it was time for Liu Tong to come out and play the good part.
"Prince-in-law, please cooperate with me and leave your mind to us to take us back for business, right? Or maybe you can accompany us and we can go back together and enter the palace immediately to meet the saint?"
Don't worry, whether you bring this thing back to your Majesty in person or not, it is the credit of you and your nobles. It is absolutely indispensable. We will definitely say a lot of good things in front of your Majesty. Even if your Majesty ignores the reward because of this, we should have it. Offerings of equal value in exchange! "
There was a thoughtful look on Li Chuan's face.
"In the future, if our family and the Thirteen Divisions of the Inner Court are useful, just give me your orders without hesitation!" Liu Tong saw Li Ao's hesitation and quickly placed a heavy bet.
Li Fan sighed softly and said: "Eunuch Liu, you are serious. I, Li Fan, have always been a loyal person. You have helped me in the past. You will definitely not stand idly by when I am in trouble this time.
Since Your Majesty is eager to get the evil heart, I would like you to take it back first.
If we finish taking care of things here, and then go back, I'm afraid it will delay His Majesty's important business, so I'll be in trouble for you. "
After saying that, he took out something. It was a rare treasure in a thin wooden box.
Yuan Zhi couldn't wait to open it and saw a heart-shaped thing that looked like a jade carving inside, which was lifelike.
"Is this the mind?"
"This was indeed the case when we subdued it. The strange power inside was temporarily disrupted, and it wouldn't take three or five days to recover. But we must be careful not to easily stimulate it in the process."
Li Ao kindly explained some things to pay attention to.
"Prince-in-law Yi Bo Yuntian, you have really been of great help this time!
Don't worry, we will never break our promise. If you find any use in the future, just give us your orders! "
Yuan Zhi was overjoyed, changed his previous dark face, covered the object and held it firmly, clasped his fists and said.
Soon after, a group of people hurriedly mounted their horses and left.
Li Fan stood behind to see them off, waving his hands against the night sky that was beginning to show a bit of fish-belly whiteness, with a bit of a smile on his face.
Yan Yuandi came closer, with a somewhat strange look on his face, and carefully asked: "Sir, that one just now... that one is the Heart Stone, right?"
Li Fan glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked back to the house without saying anything.
Yan Yuandi didn't know that the evil Emperor Delong and the human Emperor Delong were two sides of the same coin, nor did he know that Li Fan had fought against "foreigners" in Zhangjiazhuang.
I always feel that this adult's actions are a bit inexplicably bold, and he is testing wildly in the face of the catastrophe of deceiving the emperor and destroying the family.
He couldn't help wiping a handful of cold sweat, sighing secretly, and determined to stick to this mouth.
That’s the mind!
The King of Heaven is here, and it is also a mind!
