Chapter 598: What a Strange Treasure
After this matter was done, Li Yu immediately took people to check the letters and various money and grain accounts in Hong Yongfa's mansion.
His train of thought was that such an organized and powerful gang in the countryside would inevitably involve the mobilization of large sums of money, food, and resources if they were to communicate with each other and exchange letters, recruit troops, and plot against them.
This has been verified when the Huang family in Taoshan Town was in the past, and through those accounts, many things can be sorted out very clearly.
This is beyond the reach of mere confessions.
Whether there are no accounts and other related issues is another matter.
Treacherous power is coupled with treacherous magic and all kinds of strange abilities, but it may not necessarily be able to add organization and leadership, nor can it necessarily increase people's insight and vision.
So to check them from this aspect is like a dimensionality reduction blow.
Soon, under the guidance of the concubine Yu'er, Li Yu got what he wanted.
He also didn't care about resting, so he asked people to take a good look at the things that they couldn't consult for the time being, and pick out some key points to read.
The first thing to do is to check if there are any unusually large expenses in the house recently.
Check your income and expenses for several months in a row to see if there is any extra support, filial piety, and so on.
It turned out to be a problem very quickly.
"This Yongxing Commercial Bank ......"
"It is a tool of the Demon Sect to cover people's eyes, and the Hong family usually transfers money and food to the clansmen and nephews in the sect through transactions with this trading house."
I see, it is a conduit for the transmission of benefits.
Li Yu then asked Yu'er to explain some key names and contact information.
But Yu'er said: "This place has always been managed by the inner house, and the outer house is managed by the outside, and I don't know the specific situation." ”
Li Yu had no choice but to continue to ask other questions, so as to find out the internal relationship of the family first.
At this moment, Li Yu suddenly found a letter.
Unlike the other letters that Hong Yongfa had contacted with the people in the Demon Cult, this one was stored separately in a separate box, alone, without a companion.
Due to lack of time, Li Yu was not interested in checking them one by one, but when he was about to pick it up and put it away, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with the box containing the letter.
『Exotic Treasure』
The writing of flames floated and jumped, with a somewhat unsettling aura on the object.
Just looking at it makes you feel palpitating.
This breath is very secretive, it doesn't seem to be the type that radiates outward, and it doesn't hurt to wait for leisure, but it has to meet some special conditions.
Li Yu continued to look at it, and sure enough, he found some clues.
What is hidden in it turns out to be dead after reading it?
Li Yu's face was slightly cold.
What a Hong Yongfa! What a country tyrant!
There is such a hidden method of killing!
I just don't know if this jade in front of me knows or not.
He groaned slightly, and carefully took out the letter.
Sure enough, a thick mist as black as hair coiled around it, and at first glance, it looked like the hair of a female ghost.
Looking along the silk thread towards the box, it was even more deep pitch black.
If you change to an alien with a keen sense, you may vaguely notice that something is wrong, but at most you will only think it is some strange treasure.
Sure enough, several people in the room walked over and stared at the box.
"My lord, how do I feel a little cold, I'm afraid this thing is a little evil......"
"Why don't you put it away first?"
Li Yu waved his hand: "You come to read." ”
pointed to Yu'er.
Yu'er didn't know what it meant, but she still obediently took the letter and read it.
"Brother Mingshan Taijian, go to the New Year's ......"
While the other party was reciting the letter, Li Yu kept paying attention to the treacherous aura, and found that strands of hair extended from the inside of the box, slowly coiling around Yu'er's head and neck.
The handwriting inside also seemed to turn into a black shadow, increasing the number of these hairs.
But those around who listened to it chant didn't seem to be affected.
"Is the law of killing satisfying 'direct reading' and 'reading finished'......"
There is nothing noteworthy about the content of this letter, it is just an ordinary reminiscence, which seems to be in contact with feelings.
This makes people feel uninterested, and they will naturally lose their vigilance.
But at the same time, because it involves people in the Demon Sect, people dare not miss it easily.
Because the person who wrote this letter seems to be an elder of the Demon Sect who is not low, he actively recruited Hong Yongfa, and even called him "brother", obviously extremely optimistic about this "hero".
"Stop!"
After Yu'er read most of it, Li Yu suddenly stopped.
Immediately pointed at a subordinate casually.
"It's up to you."
The subordinate was a little puzzled, but he did it anyway.
Li Yu continued to look at Yu'er, and found that the hair on her body had slowly transferred to that subordinate.
Li Yu had no choice but to stop again.
"I can't read it anymore, if I read it any more, something will happen......
Come, go to the place where the people of the house are held, and bring a literate servant of the house. ”
When even two subordinates complied.
Yu'er was a little puzzled: "Adult......"
Li Yu ignored her, but waited for someone to mention.
It was a rich slave in the house, with big shoulders and a round waist, but he groveled and looked flattering.
When he saw Li Yu, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Xiaomin greets the official, I don't know what the official commands?" ”
"You read the letter."
In the inexplicable surprise of everyone, Li Yu gave him this task.
Yan Yuandi's complexion began to change slightly.
Several experienced subordinates also vaguely sensed something, and quietly moved away from the man.
Yu'er was puzzled first, then woke up, and her eyes widened violently.
"Yes."
The servant didn't know what he was doing, and thinking that he had been put to good use, took the letter and read it.
He read it from the beginning.
The hair is also transferred again from the previous subordinates.
After coiling up one by one, there is nothing unusual.
But just as he finished most of it and was about to recite the last paragraph, his eyes just glanced at it, and then he suddenly froze.
"Uh...... Uh......"
He subconsciously grabbed at his neck, as if something was entangled in him, but he couldn't catch anything.
In just a few breaths, his complexion inevitably turned purple, and the whole person showed a feeling of suffocation that he couldn't breathe.
Thump.
After a few more moments, he collapsed, completely silent.
The crowd was shocked.
Yu'er's body was also shocked, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
"It's a good treasure, stable and effective enough, but it's a good way to deal with snoopers!"
Li Yu laughed.
