Chapter 79 Promoted to Catcher
Mu Liufeng had just stayed in his new home for one night, and the next day a eunuch came to deliver an order announcing him into the palace.

Li Chengqian met Mu Liufeng in the imperial garden, not a formal occasion like the imperial study.

After the salute, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Mu Liufeng, now that Qiu Gongdao has escaped, the position of God Catcher is vacant. The six doors cannot be left alone for a day. Who do you think can take over the position of God Catcher?"

Mu Liufeng trembled, this was a question that would lead to death.

Don't say that he doesn't know who can succeed Catcher. Even if he knows, he can't talk nonsense.The position of Catcher is in charge of six doors. Although he does not have much power, he knows a lot of secrets.

It is impossible for a person who does not gain the emperor's trust to sit in the position of catching the gods.

But the last catcher was a traitor, and the bloody lesson was right in front of him, how could Mu Liufeng dare to talk nonsense.

But you have to answer His Majesty's question, and you can't answer that you don't know.

Li Chengqian posed such a difficult problem to Mu Liufeng as soon as he came up, and Mu Liufeng couldn't figure out Li Chengqian's intention.

As a last resort, Mu Liufeng had no choice but to use the golden mean of the people on earth: "The person who takes over the catcher must be impartial, upright and loyal. This is the catcher that your majesty needs, and it is also the catcher that the world needs. I just came to the capital not long ago. I know a few people, but I really don’t know who has this ability.”

What Mu Liufeng means is that the choice of catching the gods is very important, and you, as the emperor, need to make your own decisions.Of course, what is said and what is not said are the same, it is all nonsense.

Li Chengqian glanced at Mu Liufeng: "I think you are the most suitable to take over the position of catching the gods."

This is another proposition, accepting it proves that you have long coveted the position of God Catcher.Not accepting means that you don't give the emperor face and doubt the emperor's vision of people.

Mu Liufeng was really overwhelmed by the dog, so he knew that entering the palace would not be a good thing.Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, the ancients never deceived me.

Mu Liufeng said cautiously: "We have little qualifications and no meritorious service. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public."

Mu Liufeng didn't say he accepted the position, nor did he directly reject it.Just say that I can't convince the public, the emperor can figure it out for himself.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but glanced at Mu Liufeng again: "With my backing, whoever dares to disobey me will be against me. Don't worry, just take office immediately."

Mu Liufeng is really awesome, there is such a person who can force people to get the upper hand.You are the boss and you are willful, but I can’t afford to be willful.

Mu Liufeng suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please be merciful, Your Majesty, and spare Weichen's life."

Acting, who can't?

Li Chengqian was confused. He always controlled his subordinates well and played with everyone at his fingertips.This time, I was a little unsure of Mu Liufeng's thoughts: "I didn't say I wanted to kill you, so how could I say spare my life?"

Mu Liufeng said: "Your Majesty asked the humble minister to take over the job of catching the gods. Although you support me, I'm afraid the people below are just dissatisfied. At that time, we can't work wholeheartedly, and we may offend others. If we are not careful, we will Your life will be at risk."

Li Chengqian said angrily: "I know your ability to solve crimes, and you exposed Qiu Gongdao's conspiracy in public, and you also possess the Four Spirits Holy Seal. You are the most suitable person to do this job of catching gods. I don't think anyone dares to have any objections."

Mu Liufeng finally knew the reason why Li Chengqian asked him to be a catcher, it turned out to be for the Holy Seal of the Four Spirits.

Mu Liufeng couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.Of course he wants to be a catcher, and if he is a catcher, there will be fewer people who can control him.Only when no one cares about you can you live a relaxed life, right?

As for Li Chengqian wanting to use him, it showed that he was valuable, but Mu Liufeng didn't care at all about this.What people fear most is not being taken advantage of, but being of no use value.

But Mu Liufeng couldn't accept the position of Catching God so easily, he had to negotiate terms with the old emperor, so that the old emperor could feel at ease with him.

Mu Liufeng pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Majesty is very talkative, how dare I refuse. But if you want me to accept the position of catching the gods, I have one more request."

"Oh?" Li Chengqian was surprised: "What request?"

Mu Liufeng said: "The so-called catching gods is just a name to protect the justice of the people. As a fast catcher, I naturally want to do my part for the people of the world. It's just that the six sects are in charge of state secrets and have many affairs. This humble official wants to do more for the common people, can His Majesty ask other people to take care of these important national affairs."

Mu Liufeng's meaning is very clear, I only want to catch the god's name, and promise to do my job well.But I don't want to be the boss of the six doors.

On the one hand, show loyalty to the emperor, I am your man, and I am willing to work hard for you.On the other hand, I gave the emperor a reassurance that I have no interest in rights, so you can use me with confidence.

This is equivalent to assuming the responsibility of catching gods, but giving up the right to catch gods.

Li Chengqian finally laughed. He had taken a fancy to Mu Liufeng's Four Spirit Seals, and was not going to hand over the six doors to Mu Liufeng.

Following Qiu Gongdao's experience, Li Chengqian did not trust people of unknown origin.

Although Mu Liufeng said that he was from Jiangcheng, Li Chengqian trusted people he knew more.

Mu Liufeng was so knowledgeable that he was not only willing to be loyal to him, but also voluntarily gave up his rights.This is exactly the result Li Chengqian wants:

"Since you are afraid of trouble, I will not embarrass you. Mu Liufeng heard the seal: From now on, Mu Liufeng will be promoted to the position of the God Catcher, assisting the Six Sects in handling cases. He will also serve as a first-grade sword-wielding guard in Ouchi, and can directly enter the palace to meet the Saint. "

Master and servant had a great time, and Mu Liufeng left the palace quickly.Li Chengqian put so much pressure on him that Mu Liufeng didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment.

After Mu Liufeng left, Wang Jian, the personal eunuch next to Li Chengqian, said, "Your Majesty, this Mu Liufeng is too ignorant. He only wants the name of Catcher, but he doesn't want to fulfill his duties as Catcher."

Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "It's not that he is ignorant, but very sensible."

"Very sensible?" Wang Jian shook his head: "I am stupid and didn't realize it."

Li Chengqian said: "You didn't see it, but I saw it. He knew my mind clearly, but he pretended to be stupid for me. I hope his cleverness will not be used for crooked thoughts, otherwise I will He looks good!"

Wang Jian quickly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty is the smartest person in the world, whoever dares to play tricks in front of you is purely courting death!"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "Get up, you, you are still so confused after following me for so long."

Wang Jian stood up from the ground with a smile, a glint in his eyes.He was the smartest person. Although he kept pretending to be confused, even Li Chengqian didn't notice it.

Mu Liufeng returns to Lotus Lane, proudly showing off to Fang Xinai that he was promoted to catch God.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xinai's reaction was very flat: "Congratulations, young master, for being promoted to catcher!"

Mu Liufeng: "Can you be more fake? I can't see any expression of happiness for me on your face."

Fang Xinai: "Don't you just become a catcher? You are a small official in the capital. What's there to be happy about?"

Mu Liufeng was speechless. Should he dampen my enthusiasm for catching gods like this?No matter what, catching a god is something only a third-grade official can do.Is there anyone who despises a third-grade official so much?
Mu Liufeng argued: "Although I am only at the third rank, I have reached the fourth to ninth rank. And the ones who have suppressed me are only the first, second or second rank. No matter how you look at it, I am now a big shot."

Fang Xinai gave Mu Liufeng a squinting look: "Really, the big man never owes money, he pays it back!"

Mu Liufeng: "..."

Do you want to talk about things with money all the time, it hurts feelings, okay!
