My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 360 - 199: The Money-Bringers Have Arrived

Chapter 360: Chapter 199: The Money-Bringers Have Arrived

This is just too miserable.

Originally, Li Hengsheng thought Elder Yan could bring back some elite soldiers for him, but who knew it would be just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals?

"Greetings, Inspector."

Seeing Li Hengsheng, everyone’s eyes lit up and they quickly paid their respects.

Li Hengsheng planned to compensate them with their back wages, and they were overjoyed.

They hurriedly came over to take the money.

"Junior Brother Wu, check how much back pay they are owed and settle it," Li Hengsheng said helplessly.

Wu Santong naturally felt Li Hengsheng’s helplessness and said nothing, quickly stepping up to settle their wages. Meanwhile, Li Hengsheng called Marquis Yan to the side.

"Elder Yan, this is..." Li Hengsheng said with a bitter smile.

Marquis Yan understood Li Hengsheng’s meaning, merely chuckling and saying, "Sir, finding people now is already quite good."

"Where are the chief constables and divine constables of the Inspection Mansion?" Li Hengsheng was curious.

There should always be some chief constables and divine constables, right? Those who have reached Innate status are considered divine constables, and there should at least be a few chief constables at the Postnatal Peak level.

"Report to sir, previously because we couldn’t pay the salaries, the chief constables of the Inspection Mansion basically joined the shogunate or the Hua family, serving them instead. As for the divine constables, we had two before, one died mysteriously, and we still don’t know who did it, while the other has retired."

"If you want to recruit people, sir, perhaps you can try recruiting some in the White Snake Dao," Marquis Yan suggested to Li Hengsheng. "The Hua family and the shogunate run rampant throughout the White Snake Dao, as well as Caohe Village; they’ve done many evil deeds. There are many people who have been persecuted by them. If you try recruiting at this time, you might be able to gather some righteous individuals."

"Then, Elder Yan, recommend some people for me to try," Li Hengsheng said after some thought, realizing it was his only option.

He wanted to clean up the White Snake Dao, but he had no one available to use, and he couldn’t handle everything on his own, could he?

Handling everything on one’s own would work if he had the skill of a senior disciple, then Li Hengsheng wouldn’t be afraid.

But he didn’t have that.

He was merely at the Postnatal Perfection Realm.

He only had Wu Santong to rely on, and Wu Santong was just at Postnatal Perfection as well.

As for Xu Kui, during the journey Xu Kui mentioned that he was only responsible for taking care of Li Hengsheng’s daily needs or ensuring his safety, but he wouldn’t get involved with Li Hengsheng’s affairs.

So, Li Hengsheng essentially had no one to use.

Without people, how could things move forward?

As they were speaking, the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

"Who is it, so bold?"

Wu Santong shouted angrily.

"Oh, nice." A voice laughed and said, "A bit of spirit."

Several figures walked in.

The newcomers were dressed in black, with an arrogant expression on their faces, and the people behind them wore the same look of arrogance.

The recently returned guards of the Inspection Mansion were taken aback and quickly made way for them.

The man in black glanced at them disdainfully.

"You must be the new Inspector?" the man in black approached, sizing up Li Hengsheng.

"Mu Xiong, how dare you!" trembled Marquis Yan, pointing at the man in black.

"Haha, old man Yan, didn’t expect your old bones were still alive?" Mu Xiong laughed and said, "But I’m not here for you. Shut up and stay aside; I’m here for the new Inspector."

Marquis Yan wanted to say something, but Li Hengsheng stopped him.

"It’s me."

Li Hengsheng said to Mu Xiong.

"So it is you." Mu Xiong came over and pulled out a silver note from his pocket, smiling, "Coming to the White Snake Dao, as the Inspector, you have to understand the rules here. The matters of the White Snake Dao do not require the involvement of the Inspection Mansion. This silver note is from our shogunate for you. As long as you comply, there will be more benefits. If you don’t, then you won’t need to be the Inspector."

After speaking, Mu Xiong tossed the silver note in front of Li Hengsheng.

"Also, let me inform you of something."

Mu Xiong glanced around at the timid guards and said with a smile, "Find some useless people to be your subordinates; we don’t care, but don’t meddle in our shogunate’s affairs. Additionally, I’m notifying you now: three days from now, at night during the hour of Hai, our shogunate will be escorting a group of people to the dock. Avoid crossing our path during your patrolling, so it doesn’t bring us bad luck!"

"Let’s go!"

Mu Xiong finished, turned, and left.

The people from the shogunate who came with Mu Xiong also shot threatening glances at Li Hengsheng, then swaggered out of the Inspection Mansion with him.

"Outrageous, simply outrageous!" Marquis Yan was seething with anger.

"They are too arrogant! This is the Inspection Mansion, yet they dare act like this!" Marquis Yan’s face turned red as he said, "If my grandpa, the divine constable, were still around, he would have taken them down long ago!"

The others looked at Marquis Yan with peculiar expressions; he was always talking about his grandpa being a divine constable, but which generation was that from?

"Senior Brother, isn’t the shogunate too arrogant?" Wu Santong also walked up angrily, recalling that back at the Mountain Ancient Land, they were never humiliated like this.

However, Li Hengsheng took a deep breath, not minding. He bent down, picked up the silver note from the ground, and smiled, saying, "It’s not entirely bad. If coming over to curse at me a few times gets me five thousand silver, I wouldn’t mind them coming every day."
