Chapter 7 Financial Crisis 5: The Richest Man Meng Po
On the second day, at 11 o'clock sharp.
Li Jianguo ate the closed-door soup, and was hurriedly pulled out by Cui Ling sullenly.
The two walked out of the door, and Li Jianguo couldn't help but complain to Cui Ling: "Isn't it okay to have a car in the underworld?" I'm the one who helped solve so many problems. β
In fact, Li Jianguo was a little weak when he said this, but if he wanted to say it, without himself, these problems really couldn't be solved.
Cui Ling led Li Jianguo down the steps, paced step by step outside the palace, looked at Li Jianguo's expression like eating a fly, patted Li Jianguo's shoulder in a friendly way, and said, "Master Li, do you know why?" β
"Why?"
Cui Ling smiled: "Because the royal power is eternal." β
Li Jianguo was puzzled: "Royal power? β
The two walked forward slowly side by side, Cui Ling looked straight ahead, nodded kindly to the staff passing by, and said in a low voice: "Although the political system of the Hades of the Ten Halls is different from that of the Yang Dynasty, each Hades King is still a king, and this huge Hades Palace is a proof of their power. Lord Lee, look around. β
Li Jianguo looked around and looked at the huge palace system.
There are dense torches that can light up all darkness, workers who hurry through it, intricately carved patterned stone carvings, and endless white jade stone steps.
"These are the king's power." Cui Ling Zhengse said: "You are not allowed to drive in the palace, and you are not allowed to carry a sedan chair, because this is contrary to the symbol of royal power." Everything in Hades can be changed, but the royal power, even you, cannot be shaken. β
Li Jianguo nodded thoughtfully, and the two walked slowly on the trail, slowly savoring the taste of being shrouded in royal power together.
Li Jianguo turned his head and looked back at the Mingchen Palace, which was shining with a fire, he was not familiar with this place, but between his lips and teeth, he did taste a trace of the scorching heat of historical embers.
Li Jianguo muttered: "No wonder Lord Bao said that the problem lies in the Hades Palace. β
Cui Ling said lightly: "Lord Bao, this seems to be what Lord Bao said. Lord Bao is able to give up royal power, he once served as the king of Yama, for more than 300 years, and finally resolutely resigned from the position of king of Yama, my father has always been very good with Lord Bao's personal teaching. Father also said that the royal power of Hades is a lie and a pyramid scheme, but the kings of Hades have never been willing to sober up at all. β
Li Jianguo heard some unusual information and asked Cui Ling, "Lord Bao has been the king of Yama?" And who is your father? β
Cui Ling sighed and said softly: "My father is the previous Wen Judge Cui Yu, and he has not been in the underworld for many years. β
Cui Jue......
Li Jianguo has heard of it, he is the most well-known literary judge in the underworld.
Isn't it in Hades now......
Is the soul gone......
Is it martyrdom? Still is......
Cui Ling's tone changed abruptly, and he smiled briskly: "Of course, Master Li has already achieved what many people can't do in a few lifetimes, and I believe that the underworld will become better and better." Today, let's go outside the palace to have a look, I know some underworld snacks, maybe you will like it. β
While talking, the two of them had already walked out of the Six Palaces Palace, Huang Si was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw the two of them, he didn't say anything, but followed the two of them from a distance, and walked towards the outside of the palace step by step.
Walked for half an afternoon.
Day 2, 2:30 p.m.
Out of the palace.
Li Jianguo suddenly sighed at the breadth and profundity of the Chinese Chinese language: out of the palace and out of Gong, the feelings they carry are so consistent:
Carefree!
However, although Cui Ling has already done the foreshadowing, the underworld is in crisis, and the current situation may not be so prosperous, but the situation outside the palace still opened Li Jianguo's eyes.
Rows of houses are crammed into the small city of Fengdu, and the atmosphere here is a bit like the urban-rural junction in the demolition, with tiled houses, brick houses, bungalows, and thatched houses.
There is also a lot of excrement that does not seem to live in the huts.
The streets are narrow between the dense buildings, and if three or four people walk side by side, someone has to turn sideways. The space overhead is very dense, and even on the street, there is rarely a chance for you to see a ceiling height of more than two and a half meters. Signs, pillars, and ceilings that protrude from the street are all enthusiastically plastered next to each other, scrambling to greet the foreheads of newcomers.
The lighting wasn't as systematic, and the narrow darkness between the two torches was large enough to hold an entire group of thugs. Everyone is in a hurry, and they don't want to stay on the street too much.
In the end, Li Jianguo found (in fact, he didn't find it, but smelled it) that there was no sewer in Fengdu, and the neighborhood was filled with an unforgettable atmosphere that was refreshing and avoidable.
Li Jianguo carefully chose his words: "Master Cui, your underworld snack here...... Won't it be clean and hygienic? β
A smile appeared on the corner of Cui Ling's mouth, and he led Li Jianguo to walk briskly to the east, seeing all kinds of different species on the way, and the shops on the street could occasionally pick up a piece of light, but most of the time it was a silent darkness.
The light came after a corner, and there was a significant difference from the previous block: the distance between the walls was wider, the distance between the street lights was shorter, and the distance between the two pieces of excrement was longer.
That said, now they're in a rather upscale neighborhood.
It was here that Li Jianguo met the time-honored hotel he had encountered countless times:
Meng Po Restaurant.
Yes, there have been countless encounters, but none of them have been remembered. Because the specialty here - Meng Po soup is a special dish that is difficult to evaluate after you taste it.
The decoration of Meng Po Restaurant is quite magnificent, and among the tall brick and concrete buildings, the faΓ§ade of Meng Po Restaurant is a gatehouse covered with glazed tiles. However, the glazed tiles of the restaurant are all black, supplemented by lacquered doors and black pillars, which are solemn and solemn.
Cui Ling tidied up the corners of his clothes with his hands, stood at the door of the hotel, turned sideways to Li Jianguo and said, "Lord Li, here is another witness and creator of the financial crisis, please." Of course, your trip is not on official business, but if you can communicate with the people here, I believe it will be of great benefit to your future work. As a staff member of the Hades, it is inconvenient for me to enter, so Huang Si will follow you in. Of course, we will take care of your meal expenses for you. β
It wasn't just for me to eat......
It's okay, just reimburse.
Li Jianguo asked, "Okay, but Master Cui, what should I achieve on this trip?" β
Cui Ling's eyebrows became serious: "Meng Po soup has been reduced." Now the price of Meng Po soup has made the people unaffordable, and now it is a crisis, and the price of Meng Po soup has not fallen, resulting in the current complaints of the entire underworld. We have communicated with the restaurant many times, but with little success. Hopefully, adults will convince them to make the right decision. β
The two parted, Li Jianguo thought for a while, and then turned around and entered the restaurant.
Walking into the restaurant two steps, Li Jianguo pondered.
What did Cui Ling say just now?
I was so hungry that I was only worried about the food inside, and I didn't hear what Cui Ling said.
I remember...... It seems to be related to the price, right?
Forget it, eat first.
Li Jianguo walked into the hotel quickly, and saw the white lights and the hall full of people, this hotel actually used an electric light that is extremely rare in the underworld! The interior of the store is gorgeous and elegant, with a variety of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and pleasing flowers and plants are trimmed between the roads and compartments. Among them, the waiters are also neatly dressed and smile friendly. Compared to the banquet hall where we ate yesterday, the aesthetics here are much better.
The most eye-catching thing is the huge screen in the middle, which is embroidered with Wen Zhengming's "The Beginning of the Mountains and Rivers" and "The Stacked Peaks of the Yanjiang River". Li Jianguo vaguely remembered that "The Beginning of the Mountains and Rivers" and "The Stacked Peaks of the Yanjiang River" seemed to have been burned, but he didn't expect that the peerless products burned in the sun would be lost here.
The shopkeeper, who was busy at the front desk, heard the footsteps, and hurriedly put out a professional smile and greeted Li Jianguo: "Guest officer, you are here, please inside!" β
When I looked up, I saw Li Jianguo's clothes, plaid shirt and jeans. turned his head to look behind Li Jianguo again, and found that he was not accompanied by anyone, and he was probably not a big programmer.
Xiao Er's face immediately changed, he lowered his head and continued to be busy with his own affairs, and said impatiently: "Eight tens of billions of dark coins, have you brought them?" β
Eight billion?
Li Jianguo was startled at first, but immediately remembered that there was inflation going on in the underworld, so he quickly calmed down.
"Didn't bring it, did you hang the account?"
"Get out."
Xiao Er's tone was steady, without the slightest personal feeling.
"Huh?"
Xiao Er raised his eyes and saw that Li Jianguo had no intention of leaving, "I don't have enough money and still want to drink Meng Po soup?" Is reincarnation so easy to enter? Do you think you can be reincarnated if you want to? Get lost! Don't get in our way! β
Li Jianguo turned his head to look at the bustling customers in the restaurant, and asked Xiao Er, "Are these people all drinking Meng Po soup?" β
Xiao Er sneered: "Meng Po soup is only drunk by you poor ghosts, these customers of ours, they want money, power, and power, and the underworld is bliss for them, how can they think of leaving?" Why, do you go to the yang world to suffer with you people of the Three Realms? β
After some cynicism, Li Jianguo was not angry, similar things, when he was alive, he experienced a lot.
Besides, he still has a trump card yet.
Li Jianguo leaned forward, his head crossed the bar, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I am a guest of the Hades, I came here to eat, and the expenses are recorded in the Hades account." β
"Get out!"
Li Jianguo thought that he hadn't said it clearly: "I mean, I'm a guest of Hades......"
The impatience on Xiao Er's face became even more blatant, and he rudely interrupted Li Jianguo's words: "Guest? Will Hades have guests like you? Originally, the people of the underworld were already very shameless when they came here on credit every day, and they didn't tip, and they wanted us to accompany them with a smile, if it wasn't for the boss's special instructions, who would want to take care of the people in the underworld? Which of them is not wearing gold and silver and talking rhetorically, you look at you again, and you still want to pretend to be a guest of Hades and let me serve it? Just you? If you are really a guest of Hades, then Hades is really hopeless! β
"No, I'm really......"
"I said it,!"
Xiao Er held down Li Jianguo with one hand and pushed Li Jianguo back, Li Jianguo didn't stand firmly, his body fell back uncontrollably, and he saw that the back of his head was about to hit the steps of the flower bed......
A hand swept over Li Jianguo's shoulder and lifted Li Jianguo up.
After Li Jianguo stood firm, Huang Si flashed out from behind Li Jianguo, looked Li Jianguo up and down with concern, and saw that he was not injured, so he took a long breath, and then walked to the bar, stood on tiptoe, and looked at Xiao Er behind the bar:
"So," the smile on Huang Si's face was extremely sincere: "The underworld is hopeless, right?" I should be able to convey this sentence to Lord Bao and the Ten Palaces Yama, right? Looks like you'd love to open a branch in the eighteenth floor of hell. β
Xiao Er glanced at Huang Si's dirty clothes, and rolled his eyes with disdain: "It's just a mess, do you really think it's ......?"
Huang Si smiled and gently pulled his neckline, Xiao Er's face changed greatly, his eyes widened, and he quickly bowed and nodded in apology: "Stygian...... Dark...... Official...... Official, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little ...... The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope you ......"
"I'm saving you. If Master Li really did it, you would be wiped out by now. After that, Huang Si said a few words lightly: "Kneel at the door." β
Xiao Er didn't hesitate, and kept nodding like a rooster pecking rice: "Thank you, official!" Thank you, sir! As he spoke, he hurried to the door of the restaurant and knelt down with a plop.
Li Jianguo looked at the short entourage in front of him dumbfounded.
"Huang Si, what did you do?"
Huang Si turned his head and smiled at Li Jianguo: "It's just the black talk of the underworld, Lord Li, don't be frightened, come to you, please!" β
