By the time the matters here were dealt with, it was already evening, and Li Fan and others were led to the official office in the city to rest. As a result, they heard that someone from the Kong family came to see them.
"The Kong family is very powerful in the local area, and they are so pervasive."
Li Fan knew that it was someone who wanted to intercede for Mr. Kong who was captured by him, and it might also involve some vine connections with local big families.
After pondering for a while, he said to the officer who came to report: "Call in, I want to see what this Kong family member has to say."
The person who came was a young man about the same age as him, who claimed to be the son of the captured Master Kong, named Kong Zhimao.
When he came to the hall, he first bowed to Li Fan in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and then asked the servants who followed him to bring up the generous gift.
"Master Li, my father has offended me many times, so I hope you can show me your favor."
"These are all good Dongzhu, as well as all kinds of rare treasures, which are of great value."
Li Fan casually looked through the thick gift list sent by Kong Zhimao, with a half-smile expression on his face.
"However, you really think that if you are used to covering the sky with one hand here, you can be lawless and settle everything."
Kong Zhimao said quickly: "Of course I don't dare, these are just a slight apology.
We also know that your Excellency is incorruptible and will definitely look down on these small gadgets, but as the saying goes, Your Excellency has a lot of them, so if you spare him, you will also spare us this time, so why not do it. "
"Okay, I will accept the things. As for the people, they will be detained for a period of time, and they will be interrogated and then dealt with."
When Kong Zhimao heard this, his smile suddenly froze.
He never thought that Li Ao would take the things but not let go of the people at all.
"Mr. Li, why do you have to push me so hard? We offended you before, and we were indeed rude. But now we have realized our mistake, and we will cooperate more in the next things. Please For the sake of my third uncle, please spare us once, and we will be rewarded generously in the future!"
"To be honest, I can't believe the words of you gentry and rich people. I have to keep your father in my hands to ensure that you are really cooperating. If you violate it in disguise and delay the important task of dealing with the evil spirits, who will make up for these losses?
Don't talk nonsense about monks who can run away but can't run away from the temple. You people don't take the lives of the people in the city at all. Even if you are investigated afterwards, there are intricate relationships that can prevent you from being blamed. I don't want the errand to be done well by then. , I still have to fight a lawsuit with you. "
When Kong Zhimao heard what Li Fan said, his scalp went numb.
He is known as a young talent. In the past, he has always been successful in everything he accomplished in politics and business. He has never encountered such a difficult person. He became a little angry for a while and said in a deep voice: "If something happens to my father, We will definitely read your book in court!"
After saying harsh words and parting on bad terms, Kong Zhimao left the official office and returned to his home.
At that moment, many people gathered around and asked with concern: "Master, how are you? What do you say over there?"
Kong Zhimao said: "That guy surnamed Li doesn't drink wine as a penalty for toasting, so he doesn't take us seriously at all!"
Speaking of this, everyone was really curious.
What is the origin of that person named Li that he can be so tough?
As a result, during the discussion, another tribesman who went to inquire about the news came back.
"Something is going wrong, that person is the young master of Wu'an Hou Mansion!"
"What, Marquis Wu'an?"
"Sure enough, he is from a distinguished family, otherwise it would not be possible for him to serve as a fourth-grade military attache in Beijing at such a young age."
"What you don't know is that Marquis Wu An is no ordinary nobleman, he is a truly famous queen in the alien world."
Seeing that everyone had not realized the seriousness of the matter, the clansman who was inquiring about the news had no choice but to tell him what he had just learned.
In fact, the court kept a secret about what happened decades ago, but Li Ao came into the limelight one after another as soon as he became a stranger, and was even touted as a hero who saved the Holy City. Anyone who is interested can definitely find out some of his secrets.
Only then did they know who the Jinyiwei Li Chuan was. He was clearly the Jinyiwei commander, the Demon Suppressing Siwei Zhenfu, General Xuanwu, and the son of Wu'anhou...
These titles alone were enough for them to understand that they had really hit the wall this time.
…
"Sir, is it really okay for you to detain the eldest son of the Kong family like this?"
That night, Li Fan summoned local strangers to come over to get to know each other, and also to exchange information about the Yinshan Monster Cave case.
Zhong Cheng was still a little worried and asked with some uneasiness.
Li Chuan looked at him and said seriously: "Zhong Baihu, you are a talented person, and I won't hide some things from you. Nowadays, weird things have arisen, strange people are rampant, and the times have changed.
Those of us who possess strange powers will be the real backbone, even the country and the court must rely on us.
Those ordinary wealth and future prospects may not be as important as a rare treasure or related news. This kind of thing that can be truly held in our hands is held by you and me. It is not only a kind of luck, but also a responsibility, but Don't belittle yourself if you don't understand it clearly. "
Zhong Cheng was startled.
Li Fan continued: "You are already a different person, sometimes you don't have to think about so many mundane things, just be loyal to your duties and do what you should do.
If you are worried that you will be embarrassed by the local squires if you stay here in the future, I can find a way to transfer you to the Holy Capital or other places, and I can also ensure that your family and your children are safe.
If you can have nothing to worry about and are willing to contribute your part to the Demon Suppression Division, will it be worth your while? "
Hearing Li Fan's words, Zhong Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.
He is just a small demon-suppressing priest.
Although he became a stranger unintentionally, he really didn't think much about the overall situation. Please download the app Aiyue app for the latest content
After listening to these suggestions from Li Fan, I suddenly realized that the current era has indeed reached a crucial crossroads. The future leaders may rely more and more on these aliens who possess strange powers. people.
The so-called warriors, the reckless ones, will also rise.
If you want to make a difference, you will never be able to do it if you still have the same caution and caution as when you were an ordinary person in the past, and look forward and backward when things happen.
He was sweating coldly, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He was very grateful and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your advice. I almost made a big mistake!"
What they did before by burning down the warehouses in the city was not that they were incompetent, but that they were not done decisively and swiftly enough.
When encountering obstruction from the Kong family, there is no need to talk nonsense with them, you can directly solve it yourself!
"It doesn't have to be like this. You are just limited to your own background and capital, so it doesn't necessarily mean you can't see these.
Okay, let’s not say any more irrelevant words. Let’s discuss the matters in the city now. If possible, I would like to go into the blocked west of the city overnight to find out the source of the spread of the evil spirits as soon as possible and see if I can Get this matter sorted. "
The situation was so urgent that Li Fan didn't even bother to rest. It happened that he could regain his energy by drinking, and he didn't feel tired from the long journey. He ignored the fact that he had just arrived here and asked Zhong Cheng for more information. Lots of details.
