Chapter 3 Financial Crisis 2: Privy Counsellor Bao Zheng

Day 1, 9 p.m.

The two stood at the door in a daze, Huang Si hurriedly patted Li Jianguo on the back, and whispered to Li Jianguo: "Lord Li, Lord Bao is currently the chief privy councillor of the underworld, responsible for the implementation and implementation of the affairs of the underworld......"

When Li Jianguo heard this, he also approached Huang Si's ear and whispered back: "There are too many officials in the underworld...... Forget about me, the trial death officer, how can I still have an uncle and mother official? Is there an aunt officer? ”

Bao Zheng raised his eyelids, not angry: "Lord Li, the situation is urgent, please allow me to come uninvited." ”

Li Jianguo hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Master Bao, you see that you are here, please allow me, I don't allow you to go, what can I do?" ”

Huang Si at the door also saluted Lord Bao respectfully: "Lord Bao, since I have already delivered Lord Li, then I am waiting outside the door, what do you call me." ”

After saying that, Huang Si slowly closed the door, his movements were gentle and gentle, and he looked like two people when he came.

Two cups of tea had already been placed on the coffee table, Li Jianguo hurriedly looked around to find a stool to sit down, and carefully looked at Bao Zheng in front of him. That's right, there is almost no difference from Bao Zheng seen in the TV series, needless to say, the clothes he wears are also a black robe, and the black gauze hat stands upright and solemnly on both sides of the brim.

Bao Zheng waved his hand: "Lord Li, as one of the assistant managers of the Book of Life and Death, I have seen Lord Li's resume. ”

Li Jianguo was bending over to drag a stool, and when he heard this, his heart ached.

It's over, if you've read my resume...... Doesn't that mean mediocre?

Exposed so quickly?

If this is to be stabbed to the Immortal King......

Li Jianguo's eyes glanced at Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng's face was not shocked: "Presumably Master Li understands what I mean." Now that the Hades is in danger of survival, it is really impossible to have any more incidents in life, so ......"

So...... Does Master Bao want to treat me as a liar and roll back to the yang world, or does he want to treat me as a liar and correct the Fa on the spot?

Li Jianguo sat down slowly, nervously playing with his thumb back and forth, swallowing his saliva, and waiting for Lord Bao's final words.

Master Bao said majestically: "Therefore, Lord Li should communicate with me and other officials of the underworld, so as not to delay the business if there is any misunderstanding." I can understand the good intentions of the above to ask you to falsify your resume, but your resume is too deliberate, ordinary and outrageous, and I still hope that you will be more attentive in your other work in Hades. ”

Wait a minute.

I didn't forge my resume, huh?

I'm so ordinary!

Li Jianguo originally wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it:

Forget it, love what's going on, there's a lot of things to do after that.

Bao Zheng looked at Li Jianguo and picked up the teacup, with a noncommittal expression, and continued: "Regarding the countermeasures proposed by Master Li regarding the financial crisis, I think I need to discuss some details with Master Li. ”

Mr. Bao obviously did not attend the meeting, but the news was grasped quickly.

Li Jianguo looked at Bao Zheng's figure, and he didn't have the urge to speak.

"Okay, then you can tell me."

"Then I'll get straight to the point, your plan is absolutely impossible to implement."

Li Jianguo sighed.

Sure enough, there are still people in the underworld who can see through it.

Originally, yes, I just talked nonsense casually, and other people were making up for it blindly, so how could it be okay?

Bao Zheng looked at Li Jianguo, who was indifferent, and asked with some doubts: "I look at your appearance, it seems that I already know that this plan cannot be completed?" ”

Li Jianguo nodded: "Of course, this was not my plan from the beginning. How could the Hades kings of Hades be able to carry it out if they were fooling around on their own? ”

Bao Zheng looked shocked: "In such a short period of time, Lord Li found out that the problem was on the side of the Hades King of the Ten Palaces?" ”

"Of course," Li Jianguo was a little puzzled, and responded: "Who can't see this?" ”

Bao Zheng nodded appreciatively: "It is worthy of Lord Li, and he pierces the crux of the problem at a glance." That's right, a large part of the many difficulties faced by the Hades are because of the Ten Halls Hades. ”

Yes?

No, how did the topic come to the Hades of the Ten Palaces?

Also, why is it said that the Ten Halls of Hades are the crux of Hades' difficulties?

Bao Zheng's face was obviously a little angry: "In the past, I have witnessed the tragic situation of the people's poor life. Unexpectedly, now in the underworld, I have witnessed the tragedy of so many people's misery. ”

It's all in the underworld, and the people definitely don't talk about life, and they are all dead, what kind of life are they talking about?

Bao Zheng got up, slowly paced outside the door, his eyes flew over the prosperous garden, looked at the distant city wall of the Hades Palace, looked back at the secluded and said to Li Jianguo: "Presumably Lord Li has seen this and already knows how to solve it." ”

Forehead...... Where to see?

Li Jianguo walked behind Bao Zheng, pulled his neck and looked around: "Lord Bao is saying, is this Hades Palace?" ”

Bao Zheng appreciated it more and more, and his eyes showed a kind of relief in finding a confidant: "That's right, it's the Hades Palace!" ”

Forehead...... Solve the Temple of Hades?

Why?

Bao Zheng continued: "In order to solve the financial crisis, then three things need to be solved first. ”

"What three things?"

"First, Hades is inefficient; second, there is a shortage of soul hookers; Third, the issue of material price increases. I have been thinking about these things day and night, and I have not made any progress yet. Bao Zheng said as he walked out: "Since Master Li already knows everything, then we can walk together and have some discussions, if it is inconvenient for you, I can also choose a day to ......."

With a "squeak", Li Jianguo's door closed.

Li Jianguo shouted in the door: "Master Bao is in such a hurry, I won't leave you anymore, come back when you have time!" ”

Bao Zheng looked at the closed door with a gloomy expression, and glanced at Huang Si outside the door.

sighed and said to Huang Si: "Huang Si, I will protect Master Li, I will come back another day." ”

"No."

Li Jianguo, who was in the door, smacked Bao Zheng's words.

Hades is inefficient; There is a shortage of soul hookers; The issue of material price increases.

Every one sounds like a hard thing.

It's impossible to solve it one day in the future, right?

Meanwhile......

A series of footprints clattered down the dark stone path and turned into a deep and terrifying alley.

There are about 34,861 alleys in Fengdu that meet the conditions of "deep and terrifying", so it can also be said that the footsteps have entered a small alley that is nothing more than ordinary.

The owner of the footprints was counting the number of gates, and he had to pay attention to 120,000 in order to successfully count from ten to eleventh, instead of twisting his only ten fingers into a circle.

It is a shame to say that Fengdu did not universalize compulsory education. Fortunately, for these residents who are not very good at math, they tend to be generous and tolerant to the maximum. As long as they're not doing things for themselves.

Twelve, thirteenth, fourteenth ......

At the sixteenth doorway, the owner of the footprints held his breath and gently slammed the door forward.

A few seconds later, he apologized and fled in embarrassment amid the angry rebuke of the other party, and quickly turned around and knocked on the door next to him.

Fourteen is followed by fifteen, and then sixteen, damn it, if only I could remember it once.

The door creaked open, and after checking the look with the person who opened the door, he dodged in.

Soon, in the dim candlelight of the hall, he bowed slightly, and reported to the figure sitting in the hall:

"Venerable, it's all done. You're in control. ”

The figure leaned forward slightly, its face hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, and nodded slightly:

"Good."

Very good. His Holiness thought to himself, and it unfolded exactly as planned. It only takes some time for Hades to become in the palm of your hand.

No, it's not just Hades.

Those people in the heavens don't know the importance of the underworld in the Three Realms, in fact, the underworld is the most crucial part of the reincarnation of the Three Realms. If you lose the underworld, the soul will no longer die, the human worship will be reduced, and the heavenly realm that relies on people's beliefs will be greatly reduced.

Presumably, those heavenly people had no idea what was going on now. The gods in the sky only care about pleasure, and they don't even glance at the world, let alone the underworld buried in the underworld?

Everything is unfolding according to plan. All I need is a little bit of time.

"His Holiness ......"

The Venerable, who was immersed in his own thoughts, raised his head slightly, glanced at the other party, carefully recalled the B-box skills he had learned, adjusted his voice to the "Gloomy Strategist (Immersion Version)" mode, and whispered, "What else is going on?" ”

The visitor said cautiously: "I heard that a man was sent down from heaven, but I don't know what he was for......

His Holiness maintained his tone, which resonated with the darkness around him: "I already know about this, this person is not simple. Let's wait and see for a while, and wait until he understands his attitude towards the current Hades before making plans. ”

The person who came pondered for a long time and said, "What if he supports the current Hades?" ”

His Holiness laughed:

"For such a shallow person, then he must know why we call it hell here."

Early the next morning.

Li Jianguo was knocked on the door by a series of hurried knocks, pushed the door open, and saw Cui Ling, who was well-dressed and tired, and Huang Si, who rubbed his eyes and leaned against the door.

"Lord Li, regarding yesterday's communication, the Hades ask you to discuss the details."

Li Jianguo picked up his clothes and went out while dressing: "Oh? How's it going? ”

Cui Ling smiled tiredly: "It's made a lot of progress. Now this matter is full of details. ”

"Uh, what do you mean it's all about details?"

"Master Li just come with me, and they will let us meet at the Mingchen Palace of the King of Bian Cheng in the Sixth Hall at 7 o'clock. Huang Si, it is estimated that Lord Li will go back at noon, you can come and pick up Lord Li before noon. ”

Huang Si was stretching his waist, and when he heard this, he immediately bent down and sneered: "Listen to you, boss." ”

Li Jianguo looked at the sky, it was still early, and it was still dark.

Well, no, the sky seems to be dark all the time.

"Master Cui, what time is it?"

Cui Ling raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's about 6 o'clock." ”

6 o'clock? Not a 7 o'clock meeting? Call me out at 6 o'clock?

Cui Ling's expression became hurried: "Lord Li, please speed up, we may be late." ”

Li Jianguo got up angry, listened to Cui Ling's words, and felt that he should be looked down upon, or that the underworld was just going to give himself a dismount.

This also looks down on me too much, yesterday the Hades Palace only walked for half an hour to my residence, and now I say that I can't walk to the Tomorrow Morning Palace in an hour? Didn't you tell me to come early and wait for the Immortal King?

7:10 a.m.

"Master Cui, don't run," Li Jianguo panted, leaning on the white jade railing next to the trail, bending down and gasping for breath, "...... Haven't we arrived yet? ”

"It's coming, it's coming! The last palace! Cui Ling led Li Jianguo to trot for an hour, but his face still did not change, he didn't even sweat, and his hairstyle did not change.

Li Jianguo's expression now is like a lizard with a wide mouth open and waiting to be fed: "You ...... How big is your palace? ”

Cui Ling thought for a while: "The Hades Palace is about the same size as the Forbidden City in your Yang World." ”

"I've also been to the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City is definitely not so big, you Hades Palace ......"

Cui Ling looked at Li Jianguo and said with a smile: "But with such a large Hades Palace, we have ten. ”

"How much? Ten? ”

Cui Ling shrugged: "Ten Hades King, ten Hades Palace, this is very reasonable." Every Hades Palace has to be on the central axis of Fengdu, which is also reasonable. It is also reasonable to have ten palaces lined up vertically on the central axis. You live in a guest house in the first hall, and you have to run to the sixth hall of the Ming Morning Palace, run for an hour, and it is also very ......"

"It's unreasonable!"

Li Jianguo replied categorically: "No, you are such a big palace, how much delay you are doing things?" The Forbidden City is one thousand meters north and south, I am here to the sixth hall, I have to walk six kilometers, if I go to the tenth hall, then I have to run a small marathon? You don't even have a shared bicycle here, so you can go hard? Is there a backdoor or something? ”

Cui Ling's face became serious: "Lord Li, we are the Hades Palace, we have always pursued fairness, no matter whether the king and the general before his death, or the pawn of the peddler, he treats everyone equally, how can he open the back door." In addition, we are the Hades Palace, not a vegetable market, and any shared bicycle can come in, isn't it? ”

Li Jianguo muttered in a low voice: "Okay, well, according to what you say, running a marathon is the best." What do you usually do? How do the staff of the Ten Temples commute to and from work? ”

Cui Ling returned: "The further back the palace, the longer the work cycle. I remember that the staff at the Ten Halls carried out a four-shift three-shift work system. ”

Okay, well, now that I have to work four shifts and three times as a civil servant, the amount of exercise at work is much higher than going to the grave.

Li Jianguo thought sullenly, no wonder Bao Zheng said that the problem was in the Hades Palace.

"Then what if anyone of you goes to the Ten Temples to do business? Was there a queue in the early hours of the day before yesterday? ”

"That's not it," Cui Ling said: "It has to be approved, after all, you have to go through the territory of the first nine halls continuously, and pass through the palace of the Hades, it's normal to review it." By the time you get to the Ten Halls, it's usually noon the next day. Everyone is also very reasonable, and generally does not let people run a second trip. ”

In this way, if you really want to live in Hades, then you have to find the Hades King to do something, and if you don't prepare the bedding and dry food three days in advance, it is estimated that you won't be able to enter at all.

Li Jianguo raised his head, his eyes rolling.

Forget it, love what's wrong.

Hades should have its own laws by which it operates.
