Chapter 120 Recruiting Team Members
"Special Demon Case Investigation Team?" Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise.
"Yes." Xiao Wenlan added, "We have all read the report on the Buddhist case you wrote, especially the one about the existence of wild gods like Gu'e, which makes the court very wary.
"If they were dead, it would be fine, but the cases in the Buddhist world show that these wild gods may not be dead, and can be used by some people with bad intentions.
“However, the information the imperial court possesses in this regard is not as extensive as that known by the Buddhist world and the ancient families. It even seems that it is not as well known as the Xianling Sect.
"Of course, this is normal. After all, even the latest religion, the Ancient Spiritual Religion, has a history of thousands of years."
Zhou Zhilu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Xianling Sect had lasted for thousands of years. The fact that a cult had not been destroyed for thousands of years also showed that this organization should not be underestimated!
"But!" Xiao Wenlan suddenly said seriously, "In the Song Dynasty, we have never been on guard against thieves for a thousand days. We must either kill the thieves completely or take control of the treasure!"
However, Zhou Zhilu understood that the bandits would never be defeated, and all the court could do was to control the God of Wilderness in its own hands!
Xiao Wenlan stepped forward, looked at Zhou Zhilu and said, "Special Demon Case Investigation Team. The special cases here are those that are beyond the normal demon cases, similar to the previous cases of human demonization and the ancient evil in the Buddhist world.
"If you accept this proposal, it means that some of your subsequent actions will be hidden in the dark, and even your achievements will be difficult to make public. Your fame and official position will gradually be obscured. Are you willing?"
Zhou Zhilu pondered for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Xiao Wenlan calmly and asked, "Then may I ask, Minister, what can I gain from this?"
Tu Qing, who was standing behind, smiled when he heard this, and in an instant he recalled the young man who had shouted at him at the gate of the county town.
Xiao Wenlan was also stunned. He originally thought that these young people who had just entered the society would be full of enthusiasm to serve the country and the people and would take the job without hesitation after hearing what he had said.
He then smiled and said, "You will receive the full support of the Fuye Division, whether it's money, magic weapons, or information. Similarly, although you won't receive an official position, you can enjoy the power and treatment of a fourth-rank official."
Tu Qing added, "A fourth-rank Night Guard is the corresponding rank for a team leader."
Zhou Zhilu smiled upon hearing this and said, "It seems I have no reason to refuse. I accept! Brother Tu, we are now on the same level. At least we have the same power!"
Tu Qing laughed and scolded him upon hearing this: "You are still far from it, kid. I forgot to mention that, thanks to you, I have been promoted to the third-rank Fu Ye Wei, and am also the deputy director of the Monster Appraisal Department."
Zhou Zhilu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly congratulated him, only to wonder in his heart whether it was because of me or Minister Xiao...
But I absolutely dare not ask this question out loud!
Zhou Zhilu immediately asked, "But I still have a few questions. First, where do we get this special demon case? And second, who are the members of my team? I can't be the only one, right?"
Xiao Wenlan nodded at Tu Qing, who then said, "You are responsible for recruiting personnel. There is no limit to the number, but their identities must be trustworthy. After all, these are confidential cases and cannot be taken lightly. Once you have confirmed the personnel, show me the list first.
"As for special demon cases, they will be assigned to you directly by the Fuye Division. The Anbu and the Demon Appraisal Division will determine whether their respective demon cases are beyond the ordinary. If so, I will contact you directly.
"And the first case..."
As he spoke, Tu Qing took out an envelope with a black background and red edges, printed with Epiphyllum patterns, from under the table.
"It's the Southern Xinjiang God-Eating Case!"
…
After leaving Fuyesi, Zhou Zhilu was most concerned about where he would find his team members.
The first person that came to mind was naturally the senior Fu Ye Si who had brought him into the sect, and now his junior, Ling Qingxue.
I just asked Brother Tu, but he said that Ling Qingxue would not be able to come back in the short term. She is now investigating a case that is very important to her, which is related to the demon tribe she encountered in her childhood.
Zhou Zhilu only heard Tu Qing briefly talk about the case that happened in Ling Qingxue's childhood when he was in Wanghai County. Later, due to privacy reasons, he did not ask any more questions.
But now it seems that there is another hidden story.
After giving up the recruitment order Qingxue, Zhou Zhilu came to Wuhou Mansion again.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that since the war in the Buddhist world, Lord Wu Hou’s spirit is not as strong as before, and he seems to be gradually showing his old age.
After a brief greeting, Zhou Zhilu asked Wu An if he was willing to come to Fuyesi and help him solve the case.
Wu An was silent for a while after hearing this, then he scratched his head and laughed, "Although I really want to play with you... oh no, it's to solve cases together, but sometimes I have to admit that my brain is indeed not as flexible as yours.
"Solving crimes is not something I'm suited to. Charging into battle and engaging in fighting and killing is what suits me best. So in a few days I'm going to leave the capital and join the army in the northern border."
Zhou Zhilu was startled and asked worriedly, "You're going to the North?!"
Wu An nodded and said, "My father also made a name for himself in the Northern Territory. As the saying goes, the back waves press the front waves onto the beach. I want to press my father onto the sand, too..."
"Get out of here!"
"boom!"
Before Wu An could finish his words, Lord Wu Hou kicked him out.
Lord Wu Hou then said angrily, "This brat will tear down the roof if he doesn't get a fight! Don't blame me, Zhilu. With Wu An's personality, the battlefield is indeed more suitable for him. I also have some old subordinates in the north, who will surely be able to protect him.
