These civil organizations are powerful in nature. They are like blood-sucking worms that are constantly strengthening themselves. When they truly grow up, they will be unable to lose their tail.
However, the imperial court was unable to extend its tentacles into all aspects of the vast rivers and lakes. Sometimes the manpower and material resources that needed to be mobilized were insufficient and could not deal with the strange disasters that naturally occurred, so they had to rely on them.
As for why I chose this forest tour, of course it was due to chance.
This kind of decision is not permanent and can be changed if it is not suitable, but there must be a clear responsible person.
"Your Excellency, you'd better hire someone else. It's not because of me that everyone in this place has gathered. I'm a low-key person, so it's really hard for me to take on a big responsibility."
Lin You was not stupid, he refused without even thinking.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old man next to him said impatiently: "Your Excellency, are you Mr. Li who solved the Fox Bride and the Xingdaofang fire case a while ago?"
"Oh? You know me?"
Li Fan was a little surprised.
The other party stood up and said with a bit of excitement on his face: "Han Zhi, the villain, I am fortunate to know some adults from the Demon Suppression Division, and I heard them talk about you!"
Immediately he turned to Lin You and said: "Brother Lin, you are not right. Standing in front of you now is the Young Marquis of the Marquis of Wu'an, the Hereditary Commander of the Imperial Guards, the Governor of the Suppressing Demon Division, and the fourth-rank Xuanwu General Li. grown ups!
He is willing to support you. Whether you are invited to join the Demon Suppression Division or stay to take charge of the teahouse here, it is a great opportunity that you must not miss. "
He looked like this and almost couldn't help but say to Li Chuan, "If he doesn't do it, I will do it. Choose me, choose me, choose me soon."
The other people nearby were shocked when they heard it.
"What is the Demon-Suppressing Division?"
This is a newbie who has just started.
"A senior official of the Ministry of Health of the Demon Suppressing Department, this is incredible. He is a candidate for the level of hall master."
This is an understanding of the internal situation of the Zhenmo Division.
"The Fox Bride Case, the Xingdaofang Fire? Could it be that he is the heroic man who went into the fire alone and saved the Holy City?"
As a person from all walks of life, I have different sources of information and my knowledge is also uneven.
But everyone will always gain something when they gather in a teahouse like this to drink tea and chat.
Even newcomers like Lin You know how to come here to verify what Li Fan said before to see if he is deceiving him. Of course, other veterans also know how to exchange the information they have found out.
Someone like Han Zhi, who has connections with the government, has already learned about some of the past events.
For a moment, the expressions of all the different people looking at him changed.
"It turns out that Mr. Li is in front of you. Please forgive me for not being able to recognize Taishan."
Strangers came alone or in groups of three or five and stood up.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people who can sit upstairs are those who have truly come into contact with the strange power.
But at this moment, no matter whether they are strangers or quasi-foreigners, veterans or novices, they all have to bow their heads.
Lin You felt uneasy when he saw this scene.
Because Li Ao is just a peer about the same age as him, maybe even younger than him, but he has such a status.
But before, I just had a chance encounter, and I was a little bit in a daze.
This sense of detachment, in which an ordinary person suddenly gains strange power and becomes a stranger, can easily make people lose themselves and misjudge the situation.
But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Because people are special, everyone has their own consciousness and is a unique individual in this world, and they all hope that this personality can be displayed.
This otherworldliness with strange power transcends loneliness.
In the end, he is still just one of the many living beings.
"I'm a little confused right now and haven't thought about it for the moment. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Lin You thought for a while and said cautiously.
"It's not unreasonable for you to say that. After all, whether you join the Demon Suppression Division can change your life. If you don't want to be too restricted, you can support yourself with your own ability. There is no need to join. "
Li Fan is very reasonable. After all, he himself was once ordinary and can be regarded as someone who has come through.
When Han Zhi saw this, he took a step forward and said: "Master Li, Brother Lin doesn't know much about the situation here, I am willing to help you.
For example, take stock of the list of strangers who come and go here, set the rules for gatherings on the 40th and 70th, and host every tea party. "
Li Chuan looked at the other party with a surprised look on his face, but saw that the other party had a fiery intention and seemed to attach great importance to such an opportunity.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Some people resigned and returned to their hometowns, while others rushed to the examination hall at starry night.
Different people have different choices.
Although his eagerness was suspected of stealing Lin You's opportunity, and his attitude seemed a bit too flattering, Li Ao did not look down upon him because of this.
Because this is human nature.
On the other hand, Lin You is a bit thin-skinned. When Han Zhi said this, he felt that one of the options was taken away from him before he had even made a decision. The next step seemed to be to join the Demon Suppressing Division or continue to be his own Xianyun Yehe. , feeling a little unhappy for no reason.
Li Fan quickly noticed the other party's worry about gains and losses, and couldn't help but smile lightly and reminded him.
"I, the Marquis of Wu'an, can also recruit some retainers to help. If you are interested, you can work with me then."
When everyone heard it, they were envious again.
This kind of courtesy can be said to be full of sincerity.
Nowadays, ancient customs are at their peak, and it is common for wealthy families to keep slaves and cultivate party members, among which retainers and helpers are a very important part.
This status is more free than Xue An's, but it is also marked by the Wu'an Houfu.
Lin You thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, little Marquis, for the promotion."
Li Fan added: "I have something I want to ask your help for now. Please come back to the headquarters with me."
This was actually an excuse to distract Lin You and prevent the Wu family from finding him. At the same time, he went to Beiya to familiarize himself with the venue. He might help run errands in the future.
Lin You naturally agreed.
Li Fan added: "The tea party here is very good. You might as well continue it. If I have time in the future, I will come over to see if there are any difficulties, such as insufficient cash turnover in the account, or lack of funds needed by strangers." I can also help with weird things and news.”
After Li Fan left, the crowd seemed to explode. They started talking around Han Zhi who was left behind. They were all asking him about the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the Suppressing Demon Division, and confirming the weight of what Li Fan had just said. .
As for the fact that the squire who had just attacked Li Fan and the two law enforcement officers was taken away, it was almost ignored and no one cared about it at all.
