Chapter 380 Hongmen Banquet
Fang Yu was confused.
The action you initiated caused a lot of trouble in the Lin family's territory. I don't know what happened.
Now you want me, a low-level person, to clean up the mess. Are you serious?
Coming back to his senses, Fang Yu hurriedly said in panic.
"Sir, this is not appropriate. I am just a patrol officer. How can I be qualified to take on such a heavy responsibility."
An Menyi said with a smile.
"Enough, enough. Didn't Wu Luzhu, the head of your Yangshen Hall, go to the Lin family because she believed your information and was attacked by demons, and became like that?"
"Our actions tonight were based on your information, so we dared to take action against the Lin family."
"It turns out that the Lin family has not fallen into the hands of demons, and the current head of the Lin family [Lin Ye], the butler, is not a demon. There are only some small demons making trouble."
"Our actions tonight have become a joke and angered the Lin family."
"You say, how should I end it now that things have become like this? Someone has to be responsible, right?"
What do you mean?
Blame me?
Fang Yu looked at the other hall masters.
Found that the other hall masters also had vague eyes on him.
Got it.
Are you kidding me?
A trace of haze flashed in the depths of Fang Yu's eyes, and Ding Hui's words flashed in his mind.
The people above are really untrustworthy.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu said in a deep voice.
"Master, are you blaming me? Is the information wrong?"
"Yes." An Menyi answered decisively.
"...But I am just a demon foot. Even a few days ago, I was just a demon tail. The information I can know is quite limited, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. How can you blame me for this?"
An Menyi smiled.
"That's also your problem."
"Your information is wrong, and our Yudi Mansion suffered heavy losses."
"Your information is wrong, and the operation tonight has completely failed."
"Your information is wrong, and we are at odds with the Lin family and cannot give an explanation."
"Tell me, what should we do with you now?"
You are here to PUA me.
I only gave you a piece of information. What you do with this information is your business. How can you blame me?
You want to kill the donkey after it has done its work, right?
Fang Yu's eyes turned cold.
"Master, what do you want from me?"
"It's very simple. As I said just now, we are going to have you represent Yudifu to go to the Lin family to apologize."
"Your Excellency wants me dead."
Given the current situation of the Lin family, a mere patrol officer sent to take the blame will be torn apart.
"Don't say that. If you really sacrifice generously, your name will be engraved on the honorary tablet of Yudifu, and you will have a place. What's more,..."
An Menyi stretched out his tone.
"...We have a second proposal."
Fang Yu knew what the honorary tablet was.
If you were on the list, Yudifu would take care of your family after you die.
But why would you want to die for no reason?
Fang Yu frowned and said, "Please tell me, my Excellency, what is the so-called second proposal."
"It's also very simple. That is, you give us a reason not to send you to the Lin family to apologize. As long as you can convince three of us, we will send someone else to the Lin family to apologize."
Let me...give the reason?
Fang Yu looked a little strange.
Before, they almost wanted to kill me, but now they seem to want to give me a chance to live.
What are these old guys thinking?
But after thinking about it, Fang Yu still hesitated and said.
"I... am very good at fighting?"
Several hall masters had already put down their chopsticks at this time, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard Fang Yu say this.
A patrol officer, no matter how good he is at fighting, can he fight to any extent.
It is far less useful than his identity as a demon insider.
"Think about it again." An Menyi blinked, as if hinting.
Fang Yu also understood a little at this time, and spoke again.
"... I am hiding very well on the demon side, and can continuously provide important information to the Yudi Mansion."
Everyone laughed.
"Very sufficient, but there is still a little short. Just a little." An Menyi's index finger and thumb stuck together, implying something.
This time, Fang Yu really didn't understand.
He lowered his head and asked sincerely: "Please speak frankly, hall master."
"It's loyalty! Stupid!" Mingtang Hall Master Ming Tianqi interrupted.
As soon as these words came out, the other hall masters also burst into laughter.
The atmosphere seemed to become relaxed all of a sudden.
The feeling of depression just now disappeared in an instant.
Loyalty, loyalty?
Fang Yu was a little dumbfounded.
I have been in Yudi Mansion, and my family has been arranged in Yudi Mansion. This loyalty is not enough.
"What the master means is..." Fang Yu asked.
"He is okay, but his understanding is not good enough." The head of Juan'an Hall [Shu Shangming] commented.
An Menyi did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "It's very simple. Starting tomorrow, you will be the deputy captain of Yangshen Hall, and you will also take on the position of acting captain."
Deputy, deputy captain?
Acting captain? ?
Fang Yu was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
It was like a pie in the sky, and he was a little dizzy.
A few hours ago, he was still fighting with Zhuo Xueer, the alternate deputy captain, against others.
A few hours later, he was suddenly on an equal footing with his former boss Zhuo Xueer.
And he also took on the position of acting captain.
Fang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Master, I can understand the deputy captain, but what is the position of the acting captain?"
"Nothing, I just checked the list and found that the captain of your Yangshen Hall Snow Team [Quan Xianxue] died gloriously in the battle with the demons last night."
"Now your Yangshen Hall, the hall master Wu Luzhu is recovering from injuries and is temporarily unable to maintain the operation of the Yangshen Hall. After discussion, we are going to let the captain of the Wind Team [Zhang Zhenyi] replace Wu Luzhu and become the acting hall master."
"After Zhang Zhenyi was transferred to the acting hall master, the only captain still in the Yangshen Hall was [Duan Baiman] of the Rain Team. The staff shortage is quite serious."
"So, we are going to promote you to the acting captain, which is equivalent to the captain's position. As for whether you can be transferred to the official captain, it depends on your subsequent performance."
After speaking, An Menyi also blinked at Fang Yu.
The other hall masters should have known this result long ago and had no reaction to this matter.
But Fang Yu was a little confused.
It's a pie in the sky.
The Yudi Mansion made a series of moves, which led to personnel changes, and then he was promoted?
The official deputy captain, and the acting captain...
In other words, it's not even equal, I am even Zhuo Xueer's immediate superior!
What a polar reversal.
Fang Yu was stunned by a series of good things, but soon, he raised a question.
"Why me? There should be many deputy captains in the Yangshen Hall who are more experienced, more stable and reliable than me."
"Because you are very important." An Menyi said bluntly, staring at Fang Yu, and continued: "And, you have made contributions, haven't you?"
I... made contributions?
Clearly, he just PUA me and wanted me to go to the Lin family to die.
Really... I don't understand what these hall masters are thinking.
Fang Yu is more and more confused about the brain circuits of these old guys.
However, how could Fang Yu refuse something that is beneficial?
"Thank you for the promotion! I, Diao Deyi, will definitely revitalize the Yangshen Hall and lead the brothers of Yangshen Hall to make more contributions to Yudifu!"
"Well, very good, that's the momentum, young people should be like this! Dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and vitality!" Mingtang Hall Master Ming Tianqi nodded with a smile.
An Menyi also smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, the official notice will be arranged later, you continue to go back and rest. In addition... pay more attention to the demons. After tonight's action, I want to know the reaction of the demons as soon as possible. This matter is very important. Report to us immediately as soon as there is news."
"Yes!"
Fang Yu responded and retreated.
He closed the door carefully, and then couldn't help but waved his fist vigorously.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally got the position of captain acting in Yudifu!
Converted to the demon power, that is the level of demon body! It's only one step away from the top demon leader!
Maybe, my speed of climbing up here is faster than Brother Qing's!
Fang Yu calmed down and left quickly.
He wanted to share this good news with some people as soon as possible.
But Fang Yu didn't know.
In the room, the hall masters were listening to his footsteps as he left.
"He's gone."
"Very good."
Ming Tianqi raised his eyelids.
"Now you can tell us. Why is it him? I remember that Dong Xingzhou's strength in the Feng team is the best, even not inferior to some captains."
"Yes, Dong Xingzhou is the most experienced deputy captain of the Feng team. Not only can he convince the crowd, but his strength is also reliable. Why not promote him, but choose Diao Deyi instead?"
Juan An Tang [Shu Shangming] also spoke.
But An Menyi just smiled.
"In terms of strength and seniority, Diao Deyi is indeed not ranked."
"But you all forgot the most important point."
"That is, he is the inner ghost we planted in the demon side."
Everyone frowned slightly.
As if to say, so what?
"Don't forget what a big thing we did tonight. It has been a long time since the top-level conflict between Yudifu and the five major families happened. No matter who thinks it, we must have great confidence and accurate intelligence before we take action."
"Although the result is a bit bad, it undoubtedly gave the demons a message."
An Menyi looked at everyone and continued in a low voice: "There is a traitor among them. A traitor of high level who must be cleared immediately."
The voice fell.
Everyone was silent.
Because they had heard what An Menyi meant.
"So. Diao Deyi is a bait?" The head of the Dark Hall emerged from the shadows.
An Menyi glanced at the head of the Dark Hall behind him and said.
"Yes."
"The higher he climbs, the more conspicuous he is, and the greater the possibility of attracting demons." The head of the Dark Hall continued.
"Yes."
"... Don't you think it's a bit of a waste? We only have this one person, lurking in the demon power. Whether Diao Deyi is exposed or dead, it will be a huge loss for us."
"So this is a gamble, just betting on what level the demon who came to settle accounts with Diao Deyi, the traitor, is. How much information can be obtained after catching him alive."
"You are too short-sighted." The leader of the Dark Hall snorted coldly, and his figure returned to the darkness.
"It's not that I'm too short-sighted, it's that Lin Yiqiu has put too much pressure on us. If Lin Yiqiu is still alive, we must give him an explanation. As an insider, he has caused such a degree of chaos. If the demons want to deal with Diao Deyi, the demon they send must not be a small character. We capture him alive and hand him over to Lin Yiqiu for disposal. This will be the best explanation to Lin Yiqiu!"
An Menyi looked at everyone, as if seeking their support.
"Of course, if Diao Deyi is promoted to the position of acting captain, he will not arouse the suspicion of the demons and will smoothly take the position. Everything is equivalent to nothing happening, he can still provide us with information about the demons, nothing has changed, right? We..."
The head of Mingtang [Ming Mingqi] suddenly stood up and interrupted.
"I don't agree with your plan."
An Menyi was silent for a while, and said: "...but you, won't interfere, right?"
"I will save him. I feel that the demons that attacked this time are very unusual. Diao Deyi, this demon foot, is very important to us." Ming Mingqi looked directly at An Menyi.
"… Saving people and capturing demons alive are not in conflict." An Menyi said.
"I feel that there is still some conflict." Ming Tianqi was not ready to give in.
"…"
"…"
The air seemed to freeze.
The two of them were in a faint confrontation, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Juan Antang [Shu Shangming] hurriedly walked between the two and said with a smile.
"What's the point of us quarreling before the incident happened? Anyway, Diao Deyi has made meritorious service tonight, and giving him the position of deputy captain is not too conspicuous, right? What's more, we don't know what the Lin family will react. If we know whether Lin Yiqiu is alive or dead by then, we won't have to worry about anything we do, right?"
That's the reason.
But after all, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Ming Tianqi snorted coldly and slammed the door and left.
What was supposed to be a good celebration banquet ended in such an unhappy way.
…
"I'll tell you a secret, I'm the deputy captain!"
What? ! !
Ding Hui's hands trembled, and the wounded who almost broke his hand was about to cry out in pain.
Ding Hui quickly asked the doctor who was helping nearby to take over, and she took Fang Yu, who ran over happily, to a deserted place.
The voice then emerged from Fang Yu's mind.
"How could it be? How did you become the deputy captain? You obviously don't even have a place as a substitute deputy captain!"
What kind of words are these.
With my strength, I am more than enough to be a deputy captain, and now I am also a part-time acting captain.
However, seeing Ding Hui's big reaction, Fang Yu suppressed this surprise first.
Fang Yu lowered his voice.
"Didn't you notice that there are many wounded tonight?"
"Then what?"
"We have a lot of casualties in Yudifu!"
"... When did you learn to beat around the bush? Believe it or not, I will talk to you all night and keep you awake!"
Fang Yu: ...
Damn, it's just sleeping in the same room, is it necessary to be so cruel?
To be honest, Ding Hui's threat actually has little effect on Fang Yu.
Because Fang Yu was sleeping, he was offline to rest. No matter how loud Ding Hui yelled or how much she disturbed his sleep, he could sleep whenever he wanted.
But in front of Ding Hui, he couldn't ignore such threats.
"It's just that they are short of people! Plus, I performed well tonight, so the higher-ups promoted me."
Ding Hui was full of suspicion: "That's too high. You are only a patrol officer now. If you are promoted, at most you will be given the position of alternate deputy captain. Directly becoming a deputy captain... doesn't conform to the process."
"It's a special period. We just finished fighting with the Lin family!"
Ding Hui thought about it and felt that it made some sense, but he still felt something was wrong.
But seeing Fang Yu was very happy, he suppressed his thoughts and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Okay, I have to call you Deputy Captain Diao from now on. When will I go to Jiunianglou to set up a table and treat me to a good meal?"
