Coming out of the secret room, Li Fan showed Yang Yan his new achievements. It was indeed very convenient.
What's even more amazing is that it seems to have a special ability to lock in sound waves, which cannot be controlled by anyone except Li Ao.
This is also uninterrupted by other people's instructions.
In an environment where the sound is interfered with, the original control mode can still take effect, which also eliminates the possibility of someone noticing the pattern and targeting it.
If it is really switched to the voice-controlled mode, but is affected by some strange noise, then the value of this beautiful head will be greatly reduced.
"By the way, what do you plan to do with the other half of Baoyu?"
After Yang Ju watched for a while, he suddenly remembered something.
"Just soak it in precious blood and leave it. This kind of thing is too dangerous. I would rather waste it than use it lightly."
The main reason is that I haven't thought of anything that could be used yet.
A few more days passed, and before I knew it, it was the end of October.
Li Fan decided to go back to work at Dianmao, Zhenmo Division.
This is not because he is diligent and dedicated to his job, but because it is the moment when Li Ao and his son are in charge of the Demon Suppression Division and have great power.
If you leave for too long, the people under your control will inevitably have some strange thoughts.
From a practical point of view, he is absolutely not qualified to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Just like at the teahouse, if you let things go, people with real power like Han Zhi will be born.
As the saying goes, county officials are not as good as current managers. No matter how great the nominal title is, there is no actual controller who can keep his word.
In a sense, Li Fan and his son were in charge of the Demon Suppression Division, and they also took advantage of the emperor's practice of cultivating immortality and ignoring government affairs.
This organization was founded by Li Fang's great-grandfather Li Jian. It has always maintained a mysterious lead over the royal family and the court. When the strange power gradually became popular, in the previous era, it became a peerless person comparable to the Great Demon. Strong.
That was the inheritance he left to his heirs.
Then Li Fan's grandfather and father declined one after another, which reduced the power and status of the Hou family a lot.
But in Li Chuan's generation, Emperor Delong began to ignore government affairs. More than ten years later, he encountered a new strange revival and entered a new era.
After experiencing the big events of Hujiazhuang's advent of the mysterious realm and the giant disaster, they inadvertently regained control of the entire Demon Suppression Division.
But this position of power is actually not that stable.
At least, it is far inferior to Li Jian's era.
Li Chuan estimated that he could only be such a hands-off shopkeeper unless he had the power to truly dominate his entire life.
In a sense, Emperor Delon was also a top master, at least in politics, a master of balance.
Decades of accumulated prestige is no joke.
At this moment, the Demon Suppression Department is still working in the temporary official office in Jinchengfang. Among the old and small yamen, the department is extremely busy with people coming in and out.
After Li Fan returned, he immediately called Han Zhi, Lin You and others who stayed here for questioning.
[In view of the general environment,
Then came Yan Yuandi, the governor of Wei Town, Zhong Cheng of Qianhu, Kong Shao and other people in the hall.
All of these people were promoted by Li Fan himself, including Wang Ruhai, Wan Cheng, Zhou Gui and others who are still in low positions but have great potential. They are all highly trusted personnel now.
Naturally, these people understood the purpose of Li Fan summoning them, and they sensiblely reported what had happened in the recent past.
As a result, nothing major happened, just piecemeal things like suppressing strange events and killing reckless monsters.
It was a blessing that there was no big trouble. Li Fan felt relieved and started to ask about another matter.
"How are the people who followed me to Yuezhou doing now?"
Han Zhi was in charge of this matter, and he stood up and said: "The death and injury compensation has been settled, and the exotic treasures you sent before have been distributed according to the list.
The model established this time is Xiaoqi Liu Changxi, who has been promoted to the general banner due to his merits. Orion Huang Dahu also recruited, successfully controlled the exotic treasure, and became Xiaoqi.
In addition, Yuan Bin and Yu Kuan of the Hundred Households were both promoted to deputy Qianhu..."
This is purely a big deal to win people's hearts.
Under normal circumstances, many people who have achieved meritorious service are ranked according to their seniority and are waiting for promotion.
There are not so many official positions and titles in the imperial court waiting for them to receive them.
At this time, whether you are close to him, the powerful leader of the Shadow Capture Hall, becomes the key.
If you are not close enough, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how great your achievements are, you can only put it aside for now.
After all, Li Ao wants to prioritize ensuring that these people can be used for his own benefit.
If you can get promoted just by working hard, then everything must be done according to the rules, and the rules are the most important.
How does this reflect his authority as the leader of the Shadow Catching Hall?
"I have also fallen... Alas!"
Li Fan used to be in a lower position and didn't quite understand this truth, but now that the position of his buttocks has been changed, he understands it.
He couldn't help but lamented, but he didn't dwell too much on it. He just ordered: "Others have served in the headquarters for a long time and have no merit but hard work. Let's guarantee the minimum limit."
This is his last act of innocence.
Han Zhidao: "There are basically no such old people anymore. They all died on the night of the giant disaster. Yuan Baihu and others are the only old people left before."
Li Chuan was slightly startled.
Yan Yuandi and others were also thoughtful.
"Hall Master, Zhang Ergou wants to see you!"
Soon after, Li Fan ordered the meeting to adjourn and let everyone go back and do their own business.
As a result, before he could sit down in the inner hall, he saw Lin You walking in, bringing some surprising news.
"Zhang Ergou, this guy is still alive and kicking? I remember that he didn't really control any exotic treasures. He was just lucky before."
Lin You said: "Sir, this guy is indeed a bit clever. He was ordered by you to investigate that matter before, and he survived many adventures. This time, it is said that he has made a discovery. He found the person before. Piles of clues about "Eucalyptus mangosteen". "
"oh?"
Li Fan thought for a while, and after experiencing the incident of being almost killed by a murderer and being killed in the "Uncanny Realm (Hell)", he almost forgot about this incident that might endanger the safety of the Holy City.
The significance of the existence of the Demon Suppressing Division became apparent. No matter how many top experts or even peerless experts the court had, this kind of organization was still necessary to exist.
"Call him in and I'll ask him myself."
"yes."
Lin You responded and quickly went out to bring Zhang Ergou in.
"Sir, what you told me has finally come to light. I discovered the demon sect's stronghold in the Holy City. I haven't dared to alert anyone yet, and I'm waiting to report it to you as soon as possible!"
As soon as he saw Li Fan, he fell to his knees and said flatteringly.
This made it clear that they had discovered it for many days, but kept it secret until Li Kuan showed up again, or even summoned him in person, before he was willing to say anything.
