Tavern backyard.

Li Chenan felt a little complicated about her handsome father-in-law.

Today is the first big trouble he has encountered since he came to this world. He knows that if no one saves him, he will definitely fall into jail. He doesn't know how long he will stay in jail, but the days inside will definitely be extremely difficult.

.

So time travelers are not omnipotent.

Especially for an unsystematic time traveler like myself.

If you don't hug a thigh, it's best to live your whole life with your tail between your legs.

But I seem to have some luck.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I met this handsome father-in-law by chance in the Yanyu Pavilion, and then there seemed to be some involvement. Perhaps the father-in-law admired his two poems, so he began to appreciate his talent.

It happened that he arrived at this tavern today, but he didn't leave even after he left.

His words saved him from that bad luck. Obviously, he had a very high status in the palace. Although it was a bit shameful to hug a eunuch's thigh, if he could keep himself safe, this would not be a problem for Li Chenan, who had always been very thick-skinned.

It's not a big deal.

So, he bowed his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr.... Mr. Sir, for your help."

If Ning Chuchu knew that Li Chenan regarded her dignified fourth princess as a eunuch, she would probably let Kai Yang kidnap him and send him directly to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

It's a pity that she can't read minds, but her actions also have deep meaning.

"I thought you were a cautious person, but I didn't know you had done such a ruthless thing."

"But it's a good thing after this. You should understand the importance of power now."

"I saw that your little courtyard was kept clean for a while, otherwise... you would be kneeling in the courtroom of the Yamen."

"You have no fame... I first met you that day at Yanyu Pavilion and listened to your words."

Ning Chuchu stood up.

He walked two steps under the big banyan tree with his hands behind his back.

"Life is just like a catkins before the wind,

Joy is sporadic, sadness is sporadic,

"Everyone is like Lian Jiang and Dian Dianping."

"I like this Banque Ci very much, and I also appreciate your talent, and I also like your indifferent temperament."

"But I still have to tell you,"

She turned to Li Chenan, "Indifferent, you must be indifferent only when you have enough strength to protect yourself!"

"If just any street gangster can bully you, where does this indifference come from?"

"I'm afraid what you get is the hesitation in your heart and the mess of your life!"

"So... I want to give you an identity. With this identity, not only will street gangsters not dare to bully you, but even the government will not be able to do anything to you. Of course, the premise is that you have not committed any heinous crimes."

"how?"

Li Chenan did not agree immediately because he never believed that pie would fall from the sky.

He has always believed that any good thing is based on mutual benefit. He is just a small person in the Erjinggou alley. Why would this grandpa be willing to help him so much?

Do you really just rely on those two poems?

You can fool the little kid, but you can't fool this handsome father-in-law.

The key to being able to stand in a palace as deep as the sea and to stand out among so many eunuchs in the palace is that he is still so young. It is obvious that he has extremely high wisdom and extremely powerful means.

He must be the emperor’s favorite!

So what is the best thing about him?

"What do I need to do?"

Li Chenan's hesitation and these words actually made Ning Chuchu look high at him.

She originally thought that such a good thing would happen to Li Chenan who had just experienced danger, and he would agree without hesitation. Unexpectedly, he still has such sense.

This is good.

What Lijingsi needs is such a calm person!

"Join the Mirror Division."

"What Lijing Division does is very simple. It mainly collects intelligence... all kinds of intelligence, whether it is public sentiment, official sentiment or military sentiment."

"Including but not limited to discovering changes in people's livelihood within the jurisdiction, corruption of officials, and changes in people in the world, etc."

"Of course, the other thing is the targeted tasks assigned to you by your superiors."

"Or you might be ordered to assassinate someone."

Li Chenan was startled, isn't this the Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty?

I'm afraid this young father-in-law is the leader of Dongchang... Wei Zhongxian?

No wonder he is so powerful at such a young age!

"Then...is there a salary? It's just a salary!"

"Yes, the monthly salary is four taels of silver. If there is a case to be handled, the case handling expenses will be calculated separately."

"good!"

Li Chenan didn't hesitate anymore, because joining Dongchang, no, joining Lijing Division can really go sideways.

As for the things that need to be done, it’s not too difficult to imagine with this identity.

Zhongli Ruochu was stunned and curled his lips, thinking that Lijing Division had not paid monthly salary to his subordinates for half a year, so this kid was tricked by you without knowing it.

But again, the Zhongli Mansion is not short of money, and the salary of these four taels of silver doesn't matter at all.

The sign in Zhongliruo's water was Lijingsi's brand, so even though she knew the truth about Lijingsi, she didn't stop it.

After all, before he finished writing the two characters of Li Chenan, he couldn't stay with him at all hours. That sign was his way to save his life.

Ning Chuchu handed a silver plaque to Li Chenan, "This thing represents the identity of Li Jingsi."

"With this silver medal, you don't have to kneel when you meet a high-ranking official, including a first-class official. In addition...if the Lijing Division needs it to handle a case, you can use it to access all the files at the state level, and even use it to mobilize ten people.

A policeman of less than 50 people, or a government soldier of less than 50 people."

Li Chenan was overjoyed when he heard that, so the Lijing Department is a special department directly responsible to the emperor!

The power is overwhelming!

With this identity, he can travel sideways in Guangling City and even in the entire Ning Kingdom.

Who else dares to trouble me without having any eyesight!

"However... Li Jingsi needs to keep a low profile. After all, he does a job that is not very visible to the public. His identity cannot be exposed easily, so he should not reveal his identity unless it is absolutely necessary."

Ning Chuchu reminded Li Chenan and said:

"The Mirror Division is divided into four levels."

"The first level is of course me, holding the black jade brand."

"The second level is the Presbyterian Council. There are eight elders in Lijing Division who hold gold medals."

"Your silver medal is the third level, and it is called the embroiderer."

"Ningguo has five provinces and seventy-two states, with a total of seventy-two embroidery envoys. You...are in charge of all the bronze agents under Guangling state."

Li Chenan didn't expect that he would become an official just after joining Lijing Division.

But he still doesn't know how big Guangling Prefecture is.

"How many bronze agents do I have?"

"There were originally more than six hundred people..."

Ning Chuchu paused, turned around, her face turned red, Li Chenan didn't see her: "There are more than sixty people now."

Li Chenan was stunned, "Why is there so much missing?"

"Of course it's because the good and the bad are mixed. The Lijing Division only needs elites...but the full complement of a state is 800 people. You can make up the difference, but remember, the Lijing Division only wants elites."

"Besides... the people in the Presbyterian Church and I are very busy and cannot evaluate the character of the people you recruit, so there will be a one-year probation period."

"During the probation period, you must be responsible for all their expenses until they are approved by the Presbyterian Council before they can officially become a bronze agent of the Mirror Division."

Zhongli Ruoshui fell in love with Ning Chuchu again. She was really shameless. It turned out that the money she generously gave Li Chenan an embroidered dress was her own family's money, but he himself fell into her urn——

If Li Chenan really becomes his husband-in-law, then the Zhongli Mansion will definitely have to help Li Chenan fill the vacancy. After all, things are easier to do when there are more people. Only when the things are done can the name Li Chenan be heard by the emperor.

But this requires a lot of money.

Lijingsi didn't have that much money.

It is said that the money was originally spent from the emperor's internal funds, but the emperor's internal funds seemed to be unable to make ends meet, so the share of the Lijing Division was reduced, resulting in a large number of people missing from the Lijing Division, and now it can hardly do much.
