Chapter 2433 Meritorious Service
"My lord, Elder Xi has been kneeling outside for three hours. He is an old elder who has been here for many years and has great influence in the elders' court. If word of such harsh treatment spreads, it will probably chill the hearts of some people."
In Xiaofoshan, Wuwang Hall, Jia Zixu prostrated himself on the ground. He was Meng Fan's chief confidant, and they had known each other for a long time.
Meng Fan changed into green clothes and knelt down behind a table made of green bamboo. He was slowly cooking fragrant tea. When he heard the sound, he didn't even move his brows. "How much benefit did you receive from him? At this time, You dare to speak for him."
Jia Zixu and Meng Fan have known each other for many years. When Meng Fan spoke up, Jia Zixu knew that things were slowing down and advised, "I don't dare to hide it from the Lord. Lao Xi has done a good job in human relations, and I really owe a lot of small favors. But Zixu would never dare to abandon public service for personal reasons. It is really for the overall interests of the Lord. Regardless of whether the Lord forgives him or not, you might as well listen to what Lao Xi has to say when he comes back. In short, if you let Lao Xi kneel down again, you can This really hurts people’s hearts. Lord, if you really don’t want to see him, just drive him away.”
When the sound of running water stirred in the blue flower lamp, Meng Fan waved his hand gently, and Jia Zixu retreated. After a while, he led Xi Mengfan in.
Xi Mengfan prostrated himself on the ground and even called him "death penalty". Meng Fan didn't even look at him and drank tea quietly until the cup of tea was finished. Fang said, "You might as well tell me what your crime is, Elder Xi."
Xi Mengfan said, "I shouldn't covet the huge profits of the traitor Xu Yi and stand up for him. Who would have thought that this animal would be so ambitious? If I had known this earlier, I would have cut this animal into thousands of pieces and wouldn't have let him go." Your lord, you have today’s worries.”
A large part of his love-hate relationship with Xu Yi cannot be concealed.
For example, Xu Yi first killed his nephew, and then appointed Xu Yi as his chief of staff. There are different opinions on what happened in the middle, which added a bit of mystery to Xu Yi.
At that time, Xi Mengfan was too lazy and disdainful to explain, but now it is impossible not to explain.
He did not dare to say that he was threatened by Xu Yi, but he could only admit that he was tempted by the huge profits.
Meng Fan waved his hand and said, "Elder Xi is here. If you just want to say this, please come back."
"Lord, I have something to report."
Elder Xi said loudly.
Meng Fan stared at him, Elder Xi said, "I have news about the Night Walker, and I suspect that Xu Yi is among them."
Meng Fan suddenly became energetic.
The credit for catching the Night Walker is never small.
At the moment, what he wants most is not to capture Xu Yi. That is the Gong family's business. He has little interest in the life or death of the fish that slipped through the net.
What concerned Meng Fan the most was how to become a lecturer at Biyou Academy.
Although, Gong Yushang made a promise to recommend him on behalf of the Gong family.
But this is not enough. If you want to join Biyou Academy as a lecturer, you also need a letter of recommendation from the ministry.
If it were in the past, if he operated it, there would be no big problem.
However, a few days ago, Xiao Foshan had a major case against Xu Yi, which had a very bad impact and even issued a wanted order. His political opponents seized the opportunity and began to spread rumors that he, Meng, was incompetent.
In the past, he would not have taken these rumors seriously, but during the critical period when he wanted to get a letter of recommendation, this little thing became a big deal.
There are only two solutions. One is to spend more money to produce a recommendation letter, and the other is to make meritorious deeds.
Elder Xi's news about the Night Walker interested him very much.
What's more, Xu Yi's affairs are also involved.
"Old Xi, please tell me more carefully. Why is this matter related to Xu Yi again?"
Meng Fan asked.
Elder Xi said, "This is not groundless. In the past, my nephew once reported that Xu Yi was the Night Walker..."
Xi Mengfan brought out the old stories and told them truthfully without any exaggeration.
Jia Zixu said, "I also know about this matter. It was quite a big fuss at that time."
Meng Fan stared at Elder Xi and said, "How many years of bad things have happened now, is it still useful to say this? Not to mention that there is no evidence, it is just a guess. Even if it is confirmed that Xu Yi is really the Night Walker, what benefit will it have to my current situation? ?”
Jia Zixu smiled and said, "I understand, Your Majesty, if Xu Yi is really a night traveler, the wanted order will definitely be raised to a higher level. Even if the person named Xu hides in the rat hole, he will not have a good life."
Meng Fan understood that the key was not whether Xu Yi was right or not, but that they had a way to make Xu Yi be.
Meng Fan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, very good! I'm very interested. Lao Xi, please report the news about your Night Walker immediately..."
He was completely invigorated.
………
The night is dark, the wind is high, deep in the mountains and old forests, in the mountain temple.
Xu Yi couldn't figure out why the majestic Grand Master Sun would choose this ghost place as the gathering place.
Before coming, he went out of his way to ask the veterans at Station No. 7 about Master Sun. The information he received was extremely limited, but one thing was quite consistent, that is, Master Sun had a fiery temperament and was not good at all. get along.
No matter how difficult it is to get along with Xu Yi, now that he has received the summons, he, the director of Station No. 7, will always come.
Xu Yi entered the mountain temple, sat down in a deserted corner, and closed the door to rest.
After a while, there were lights in the temple, but someone took out a mirage bead. The bright and bright light filled the entire mountain temple and flowed out from the broken leaks on all sides.
In the center of the temple sat a middle-aged monk wearing a bright red cassock. There was no ring scar on his head. Next to the monk, there was a demon pet the size of a civet cat.
The demon pet has a body like a civet cat, but its head is weird. It has two heads, one on the left and one on the right. The left is a tiger head, and the right is a dragon head. The size of the head is extremely coordinated with the body, and they are both mini versions.
Hidden in the darkness, Xu Yi had long understood everything in the mountain temple. If the records in the classics were correct, then the demon pet should be the famous Luang Mei.
This demon has been recorded very early in history and can be traced back to the prehistoric period.
The Huangmei in front of him is obviously an immature version. Even so, the extremely ice cone sprayed by the Huangmei tiger head and the Yuanwei fire sprayed by the dragon head are both remarkable.
However, Xu Yi didn't have the slightest fondness for this seemingly cute and kind-hearted Luangmei.
Hidden in the darkness just now, the Luo Mei never stopped talking. The middle-aged monk kept taking out the squirming baby embryos with suckers and feeding them to the Luo Mei.
Huangmei ate so much that his mouth was full of blood, and he felt very satisfied.
Xu Yi understood that the wild charm cultivated in this way would definitely become a first-class evil thing in the future.
"It's okay, it's okay, I caught up, I caught up..."
A big man in purple robes rushed in like a whirlwind, panting.
"Inform yourself."
The middle-aged monk stretched out a finger and poked it on the wooden floor.
The purple-robed man hurriedly bowed to the middle-aged monk and said, "Report to Master Sun, the chief of the Underworld Fire Bureau, codenamed Wu Jiu, and I have received the news..."
When he was about to explain, he was cut off by a middle-aged monk, "So, you know that you missed your date?"
