Indeed, as Gao Feng said, everyone's positions and authority have now been significantly improved, and the foundation for the future has been laid.
This time the Fox Bride case really benefited them a lot.
After a few rounds of drinking, the music ended and everyone dispersed. Li Fan and others left with a somewhat regretful farewell from their fake mother Yang Miaoer, and continued to go north.
During this period, Li Chuan, Fang Hong and Gao Feng sat for a while in a nearby teahouse.
There is a women's sumo wrestling program handed down from the Song Dynasty, where strong women compete, which is exciting and exciting.
As for Xue An, Yu Liang, and Fan Renyong, they went deep into the Quxiang to look for clues and contact people.
At this moment, drums beat and the signal for the start of the curfew came from the street outside.
The official guarding the gate of Fang City loudly reminded people entering and exiting to hurry up. After a while, he closed the heavy wooden door and lowered the bolt.
"Guan Yun, I'm afraid this errand will not be easy to handle. The Holy City is so big, with a population of one million like a vast ocean, but what we are looking for are strangers in the Demon Cult. I'm afraid they have already moved. Are we going to do it now?" It’s unknown whether he’s still in the city.”
Fang Hong drank some wine before, but his mind remained clear.
Of course, Li Fan understood this, and it was not easy to explain too much. He just said vaguely: "It doesn't matter. We are not specifically responsible for this case anyway. Let's find an opportunity to get the power of admiral. If there is any progress, we will help Car, take advantage of it, if there is no progress, then clean up the discipline and supervise and guide."
Hearing this, Gao Feng burst into laughter.
But I smiled and felt helpless.
"To be honest, this is really disgusting."
When Li Fan heard this, he smiled lightly and was not surprised.
Fang Hong defended Li Juan seriously: "Guan Yun is just talking, but when he really encounters an enemy, he still dares to fight in battle.
To be honest, during the two hundred years of the dynasty, the martial nobles have become increasingly degenerate. I admire Guanyun. "
Gao Feng shook his head helplessly. Why didn't he admire Li Fan for his courage in taking charge and his ability to take the lead and fight against the enemy?
But more children with his status cannot do it, and they are very active in grabbing credit and opportunities.
What disgusted him was those people and himself.
This time they made great contributions to Lantai Institute and helped many people. It seemed that everyone was happy, but in fact there were many people who did not get their due rewards, and even he secretly regretted it.
But what can I do?
I am also a vested interest, and I can no longer be as successful in book business as I was in the past.
Soon after, a wonderful show took place.
Two strong women climbed onto the ring in the middle of the street below and wrestled in sumo amid the sound of bells and drums and the cheers of passers-by.
They took off their clothes, took off their skirts, and covered their bodies with pockets.
The whole process is also very ceremonial and ornamental. It is not just like ordinary fighting, where you just start to fight hard and fight bravely. Instead, you first walk a few steps and fight with the bag, which is eye-catching.
After each made an appearance and attracted attention, they began to compete with each other with physical strength, and truly relied on their physical strength to win or lose.
During the bare-chested wrestling, the white flesh and red cloth dazzled people's eyes and attracted a lot of attention. All kinds of copper coins and broken silver were thrown on the stage like raindrops. There were also people who bought the fighting and shouted their support for sumo wrestling. Hand nicknames, extremely crazy and capable.
Even Gao Feng, who was worried about the country and the people just now, couldn't help but be attracted to his attention. He leaned on the railing and shouted loudly, cheering for the players below.
The three of them sat and waited for a while, then they saw Xue An coming back with two general banners of the Demon Suppression Division.
"See your Majesty the Governor!"
The two commander-in-chiefs saluted respectfully.
Now Li Chuan has been promoted, and is now assigned to the rank of Wei, Zhenfu and above.
This is the chief official of the Ministry of Health. In terms of rank and grade, the four most powerful figures in the Four Guards and Sixteen Institutes in the world are at this level. Ordinary officials may not be able to achieve this even if they work for a lifetime.
But for him, it was just a stepping stone to becoming a bureau official, and he was almost qualified to call himself "main hall".
Because he has been the commander of the Imperial Guards of the third rank since he was born. Regardless of his actual power, at least his rank is very high, and his actual assignments can be within the third rank.
Li Ao waved his hand and said: "You are the people of Shadow Capture Hall who were ordered to track down the whereabouts of the demon sect? Is there any progress now?"
The two commander-in-chiefs spoke loudly.
As a result, the situation was reported, but it was summed up in four words.
No such person found.
They did not find the whereabouts of the shadow puppets. At best, they found some suspicious figures who were suspected of being demon cultists, following them in the dark, watching and waiting.
"Dealing with evil spirits and dealing with aliens are really completely different."
Li Fan did not blame them, but sighed with emotion.
Fang Hong also said: "Yes, the Demon Suppressing Division calls the strangers who cause trouble "monsters" and is on strict guard against them because they can often cause more harm than evil spirits.
They are intelligent and proactive, and the extraordinary abilities brought by their weirdness also provide many conveniences. "
Gao Feng said: "Speaking of which, the relevant information has been compiled, but apart from knowing that the shadow puppet's real name is Wang Qicai, we don't know much about other details yet.
Moreover, several other great guardians of the Gu Heart Demon Sect seem to have made some changes. For example, Hu Meier, the prostitute, Cai Shengren, the beggar, and Zhang Ping, the mourner, all have strange puzzles composed of multiple rare treasures. I am afraid they can easily Avoiding the imperial court's eyes and moving freely among the people.
It's a pity that those members of the Demon Cult come from all over the world, and there are many intrigues among each other, and they don't like to work together. Otherwise, it would be much easier to mobilize an army to attack by force than to search everywhere. "
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. However, Li Fan suddenly thought that since the other party could use his strange power to avoid ordinary people's eyes, would he also be exposed to his own truth-seeing eyes because of his strange power?
My own clairvoyant eyes can see traces of strange power. If there are demons from the Demon Cult lurking in the Holy City, and they use strange power to evade the pursuit of the Demon Suppressor, there may still be traces to follow.
Then he said: "Those are all masters at the level of the Great Protector of the Demon Sect. It is true that ordinary methods are not that easy to find. Take me to the target you suspect is being followed. Maybe there will be some solution."
Soon after, everyone came to a place called Baihua House deep in Liqu.
"Well……"
Li Chuan and Fang Hong stood on the street, hesitant.
This kind of public-level brothel is only visited by merchants and businessmen.
Moreover, the "Daqian Code" explicitly prohibits officials from having prostitutes, and the customs are much more upright than those in previous dynasties, so that everyone would rather keep concubines or concubines as slaves, and there is no need to knowingly break the law.
Therefore, the rich and powerful children like them have never set foot here.
