The direction of the investigation is locked.

It does not mean that Nian Fan and Li Huan's next investigation will be fruitful.

Moreover, the people they wanted to investigate were the four princes.

The prince who is the most likely to inherit the throne of the dynasty.

Whenever it comes to the investigation of the royal family, even Xia Mingyuan has to say hello to the emperor in advance.

However, Nian Fan and Li Huan decided to investigate privately.

It's just that they know in their hearts that if they launch an investigation with great fanfare, they will inevitably alarm the four princes and startle the snakes, and no matter what the results of the investigation are, they will evil the four princes for this.

On the contrary, there is considerable room for maneuver in private investigations.

If it is unfortunate that people are caught, they can be excused as a personal act, and it will not involve the Demon Suppression Division.

"Brother Huan, you have served in the Demon Town Division for many years, and the Imperial City can be said to be your territory, presumably you are no stranger to the four princes, if we carry out an investigation, where do you think to start first?"

The objectives and direction of the survey were agreed.

Nian Fan's address to Li Huan became closer.

He thinks he has a good eye for people.

Although Li Huan is arrogant, he is not lacking in cold words to himself on weekdays.

But at least he's not hypocritical.

Express your thoughts and emotions very honestly and directly.

And this is what Nian Fan admires most about him.

Practice, practice, practice.

Clarity of insight is the key and foundation of practice.

That being said, this does not mean that all practitioners are rectums, after all, there are thousands of faces, and everyone sees a different self.

If you have a choice, Nian Fan naturally likes people with a direct personality like Li Huan.

“...... If you want to know the situation of the four princes, you will naturally start with the people around him. ”

Li Huan glanced at Nian Fan coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Nian Fan's new name for himself.

"Of course I know, the key is that I don't know who is around the four princes......"

Nian Fan shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly.

"Later, I will go back to the department to retrieve the relevant files of the four princes. ”

Li Huan wrote lightly.

The files related to the royal family have always been top secret, and it is not something that anyone who wants to access can access them.

With Li Huan's current status in the Demon Suppression Division, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to succeed in the transfer.

What if Xia Mingyuan was willing to help him?

He knew it perfectly.

Xia Mingyuan attaches great importance to Nian Fan now, and basically as long as he doesn't make too many requests, he will try his best to meet them.

Again.

Li Huan had a faint suspicion in his heart.

The clues he could find in the dossier couldn't have been detected by the other guys of the Demon Suppression Division.

Interestingly, he had never heard of the operation plan of the division to secretly investigate the four princes.

As for the reason.

Either the division did not launch an investigation because of the face of the royal family.

Either the division has launched an investigation, but there is no way to know his current status.

"In that case, I'm here to wait for Brother Huan's good news. ”

Nian Fan suddenly grinned after hearing this.

"Good!"

Li Huan said goodbye to Nian Fan without saying a word.

After leaving.

He didn't return to the Demon Division.

Instead, he immediately went to a mountain villa on the outskirts of the imperial city.

Because this is the villa that was specially rewarded to him by the emperor of the dynasty after Xia Mingyuan became the chief of the demon suppression division that year.

It's just that Xia Mingyuan has gone to live in the villa only a handful of times over the years.

But after Xia Mingyuan was demoted to deputy director, according to him, he decided to rest and relax for a while and came to live in this mountain villa.

As for safety, don't worry at all.

You must know that after Xia Mingyuan moved to live in the villa, the entire imperial city didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at it.

Even the demons lurking in the imperial city did not dare to take the risk and go to the villa to assassinate Xia Mingyuan.

Because you never know how many traps the lodge is full of.

This is not the first time Li Huan has come to this mountain villa.

After walking into the villa with a familiar car, he soon met Xia Mingyuan, who was leisurely fishing, by the side of a small lake.

"When the time comes, I'll let the people in the library know, and you can just go to the library to read it. ”

After learning about Li Huan's intention.

Xia Mingyuan said without looking back.

“...... Lord Si Rate, my subordinates don't know if there is a question that should be asked. ”

Li Huan did not leave immediately.

He froze in place, hesitated for a moment on his face before he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"There are no outsiders here, so if you have anything to ask, just ask. ”

Xia Mingyuan was still indifferent.

"Lord Si Rate, dare to ask Si Li if he ever doubted the Four Princes?"

Li Huan took a deep breath and said.

"Siri isn't just suspicious. ”

Xia Mingyuan suddenly said something meaningful.

“...... The subordinates understood, but the subordinates were a little unclear. ”

Li Huan understood as soon as he heard it.

No doubt.

Xia Mingyuan's answer undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

Si Li did become suspicious of the four princes, and even privately launched a secret investigation.

Here's the problem.

Since the division has already taken action, why should they investigate again? Doesn't this seem redundant?

"You seem to have forgotten one thing, the Demon Suppression Division has always been the Demon Suppression Division of the Jade Ding Dynasty. ”

Xia Mingyuan said another intriguing sentence.

“...... The subordinates understood, so they would not disturb the purity of Lord Si Shuo here. ”

Li Huan was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then bowed respectfully and left.

Xia Mingyuan's meaning has been made very clear.

Ultimately.

The Demon Suppression Division is a powerful departmental institution under the system of the Jade Ding Dynasty.

No matter how powerful this department is, in the end, it must obey the orders of the Yuding Dynasty, more precisely, the royal family.

In a way.

The Demon Suppression Division can be described as the "retainer" of the royal family.

And the retainers who investigate the people of the head of the family without the permission of the head of the family are undoubtedly guilty of trespassing.

No matter how good the relationship between Xia Mingyuan and the emperor of the current dynasty is, the etiquette system in this regard cannot be messed up.

Li Huan didn't know if Sili had consulted the emperor of the current dynasty when he was investigating the four princes, but whether he asked for instructions or not, judging from the current results, it was obvious that Siri's investigation had encountered obstacles, so that there was no progress for a long time.

Reminiscent of Xia Mingyuan's denigration.

Could it be that Xia Mingyuan really couldn't find out why the death of the third prince and the chief scholar?

No.

Maybe it was because of some reason that Xia Mingyuan was difficult to track down.

Xia Mingyuan selected Nian Fan and Li Huan to investigate.

may be regarded as a surprise soldier to break the game.

It was no wonder that Xia Mingyuan would comply with their requests as much as possible.

"Lord Si Leader, my subordinates will not let you down!"

Leave the lodge.

Finally, I glanced back at the gate of the beautiful mountain villa.

Li Huan, who thought he had figured out the joints, couldn't help but secretly make up his mind.
