Chapter 2071 Missing officials! The prince enters the game!
Bang!
When Yang Fan let go, Xiao Wance's fake body immediately fell to the ground and turned into ashes.
"Hmph, don't let me catch you!"
Yang Fan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and disappeared directly.
Return to the Qing Palace.
Yang Fan glanced at Xiao Qingxue, who was still sleeping. The Tai Chi spirit suddenly emerged, and a majestic spiritual thought instantly covered Xiao Qingxue's body.
"Is there nothing unusual?"
He frowned slightly and his eyes flickered.
However, Xiao Wance's reaction let him know that this matter was far from over.
And just then.
However, Yang Fan noticed a familiar aura appearing outside the palace.
"Come in!"
He waved his sleeves and left the back house, and not long after, Tao Ying hurried over.
"Your Majesty."
"It's so late, why are you here in such a hurry?"
Yang Fan asked.
Tao Ying said quickly: "Beizi did not intend to disturb the prince. It's just that when he was looking for those officials who were demoted and resigned by Zhu Gaolie according to the list, he found that many officials were missing!"
"Missing?"
Yang Fan frowned.
Tao Ying reported back: "Yes, after a humble search, I found that someone took these officials away one step ahead, but the identities of these people have not yet been found."
"It seems that these people are more popular than I thought!"
Yang Fan's eyes flashed.
It is said that there is one emperor and one minister.
These officials who were demoted and resigned were all capable ministers of Emperor Ming.
It's a pity that Zhu Gaolie can't control these people at all.
Logically speaking, these people have little chance of being reactivated. Some may beat them up, but if they are taken away on such a large scale, the purpose is questionable.
"Is it possible that someone has the same idea as me?"
Yang Fan had to doubt this.
"Right!"
He suddenly thought of Chen Yinglong, whom he met when he contacted Zhang Taiyue. At that time, Chen Yinglong had mentioned that he had sheltered some officials. Could it be that this was done on the orders of the other party?
Yang Fan was a little unsure.
However, based on his understanding of Chen Yinglong, the authenticity of what the other party said at that time may be greatly discounted!
"You just need to continue to investigate this matter."
Yang Fan ordered, "By the way, how is the situation in the West Factory?"
Tao Ying said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have already demoted all the people Peng An had placed in the West Factory and put them in custody. However, after all, Peng An is your Majesty's chief companion..."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Although I control the West Factory, except for a few who are willing to join me, many others are waiting and watching."
"This king knows."
Yang Fan knew that the reason why these people were waiting and watching was naturally because they were worried that Peng An would regain power.
After all, compared to Peng An, who was supported by Zhu Gaolie, his current position as the director of the Xichang Factory, as well as the Qing King and Regent of the Qing Dynasty was naturally much lower.
However, these people also overestimated their weight.
"Since there is no one to rely on, let's recruit new people. With power and position in hand, I don't believe there are no brave men!"
Yang Fan said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the order, Tao Ying resigned.
Yang Fan got up and went to Zhang Taiyue's house where he had been during the day. As he expected, Zhang Taiyue was also missing.
"Fortunately, during the day, I left a force on the other person's body to heal his injuries."
At that time, Yang Fan was just doing it casually, intending to protect the opponent's Chonglou foundation and prevent him from falling into the realm. Unexpectedly, it would now become the key to finding the opponent.
Yang Fan's spiritual thoughts quietly centered on private houses and expanded in all directions.
And he was like a ghost walking through the dark night. Soon, he left the divine capital and appeared in front of a manor west of the divine capital!
"Zhang Taiyue is here!"
Yang Fan could feel the glimmer of vitality he used to heal Zhang Taiyue, which landed here.
In the manor, he could clearly feel the layers of dense formation blockades. It was some kind of Buddhist formation that was operating to isolate the inside and outside.
"Buddhist people?"
Yang Fan's eyes flashed, and with this mere formation, it was natural that he could not stop his footsteps. With a movement of his figure, he quietly disappeared into the manor.
In the manor.
The underground prison is dark and smelly.
The shadows formed by the light of the torches filtering through the railings fell on the figures in the prison, like a big net, tightly sealing them in the prison.
A man with a face as golden as paper lay inside.
It was the missing Zhang Taiyue.
However, at this moment, his condition was still very poor and his breath was low.
The vitality force that Yang Fan left behind didn't seem to have the desired effect.
At this moment, in addition to Zhang Taiyue, there is another monk in the prison, who turns out to be Liao Fan, the former abbot of Fahua Temple!
Zhang Taiyue looked at Liao Fan in front of him with cold eyes and said, "You don't have to say it anymore, I won't take refuge in you! You'd better give up on this idea!"
Liao Fan said sternly: "Why does Mr. Zhang act with such enthusiasm? Zhu Gaolie is just a mediocre talent. Can you really bear to see the legacy left by Emperor Ming ruined in his hands?"
"Not to mention that Dayu is watching from outside, let's just say that the Ji clan and Jiuli clan of Dazhou have entered the border one after another. After the disappearance of Emperor Ming, he may not be able to remain peaceful, let alone the established dynasty of the Qing Dynasty..."
Liao Fan said sincerely, "Master Zhang, our Lord admires your knowledge and is willing to support you in continuing your reform. As my Lord, once you come to Dabao, I will definitely let you show off your skills in the future!"
"Perhaps you are still holding on to the hope that Emperor Ming may return, but I can tell you that Emperor Ming will never come back!"
Liao Fan's last words were spoken with great certainty, as if he had received solid news!
"How can you decide whether Emperor Ming will return or not?"
Zhang Taiyue said coldly.
He was not shaken at all by Liao Fan's words.
Liao Fan did not refute, but simply said: "Then I'll just wait and see!"
With that said, he turned around and left the cell.
Outside the cell door, two monks were guarding the door. When they saw Fan coming out, they locked the cell door with a bang.
Liao Fan walked through another row of cells. The missing officials were imprisoned in each cell. They were all imprisoned here!
Liao Fan didn't even look at these people and walked straight out of the prison.
"Give them some hardships and let them understand the current situation."
Before leaving, he dropped a few words.
soon.
Liao Fan returned to the grounds of the manor.
He walked into one of the small courtyards, which was guarded by guards. When he saw Fan coming, he bowed slightly.
Just when Liaofan was about to speak out, a voice came from the room: "Master Liaofan, you're here, just come in."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Liao Fan replied, then opened the door and walked in.
Sitting in the room is none other than Zhu Zhaoting, the current crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!
