Chapter 9 There is a ghost who wants to harm his own official
Meng Po leaned forward slightly, the fine black fluff on her collar hugged the expectant expression on her face, folded her hands on the table, stared at Li Jianguo sincerely and said:
"Lord Li, since we have reached an agreement on the matter of reducing the price of Meng Po Soup, we also hope that Lord Li can come to us to walk around more in the future, it must be beneficial to everyone. By the way, I have already arranged the meal downstairs, and if I don't give up, I hope that the adults will have a meal and take a break. ”
Li Jianguo replied: "That's nature. ”
Meng Po glanced sideways at a document on the corner of the table, and said with a light smile: "My lord, your companion seems to be very interested in the ornaments in the corridor outside my office, please help me tell him, and the ornaments will be given to him." ”
Well?
What do you mean?
After a while, Li Jianguo blushed and ran out of the restaurant quickly with his head buried in embarrassment, but Huang Si looked satisfied, holding the bulging bag in his arms, and slowly paced out of the restaurant with satisfaction.
"I said," the two walked out of the door of the restaurant, Li Jianguo tilted his head sideways, sighed deeply, and complained to Huang Si: "Big brother, how can you pry the diamonds on other people's ornaments at the door of Meng Po's office?" We're not here to steal chickens and dogs, are we? What if I get caught? ”
Huang Si smiled and gently patted the Pixiu carving in his arms: "Isn't it okay, besides, you see that there are hundreds of diamonds densely packed on this Pixiu's neck, and I can't see a few of them." Besides, with you, we'll be fine even if we're seen. ”
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si in a daze, not knowing what to say about the ghost in front of him.
Originally, it made people afraid to take a second look, but after the two days of contact, they would even steal chickens and dogs, looking like a small person in the market, how does this Bao Zheng look at people???
Huang Si had already changed back to his usual pace and hurriedly led the way in front: "Lord Li, let's go quickly, this thing in my arms is a baby, let's hurry up, so as not to be remembered!" ”
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si's figure that had been immersed in the darkness, turned around and glanced at the dark geographical environment around him, a sense of fear of being surrounded by something spontaneously arose, and he hurriedly pulled up his legs, shouting Huang Si's name while hurriedly chasing forward.
Looking at the disappearance of the two people, a pair of eyes in the darkness quietly turned around, and disappeared in the darkness in the opposite direction.
Nothing was said all night.
On the third day, 8 o'clock in the morning.
The new system has been prepared and promulgated outside the palace of Hades, and the central bank has been formally established. As the scholar with the most abundant financial knowledge in the underworld, the fifth princess Qingxian was appointed as the interim governor of the central bank, and most of the staff members were selected from the spirits of the yang world, and a small number were transferred from other positions.
The soul hunting system was also officially put into practice, the soul hunting industry association and the soul hunting training school were also formally established, and some experienced underworld errands turned into soul hunting trainers. As soon as this matter was announced, it was immediately hotly discussed and enthusiastically signed up by the majority of Hades (wealthy) residents, and there was finally hope that the problem of not being able to pay the wages of the soul and the lack of soul hooking that had plagued the Hades for a long time finally had a solution.
Meng Po Tang has also officially announced a price adjustment plan, which is expected to carry out a stepped price reduction, which will be linked to the degree of inflation alleviation in Hades, and eventually the price of Meng Po Tang will be significantly reduced from the current price.
Through the establishment of the central bank to alleviate inflation, through soul hunting to open source and reduce expenditure, through the Meng Po soup price reduction to stabilize people's livelihood, through the rotation of the Hades system to improve the efficiency of the underworld, for a while, the four measures were launched at the same time, although for a while did not see much effect, but the confidence of the underworld returned.
Confidence is the most important factor in a crisis. Only with confidence, then the phenomenon of dumping and running on each other will be greatly reduced, and the suffocating atmosphere that has permeated the entire Fengdu City for a long time has finally been alleviated a little.
News also spread among the people: the new death officer Li Jianguo is a figure. With him, the crisis of Hades will definitely be solved!
In the dark hall, the dim firelight dissolved in the dense darkness, and the firelight flickered, casting staggered shadows on the gloomy faces of the two people in the hall. The torches and the darkness are a rare blend of calamity, cannibalizing and blending with each other.
His Holiness sat gloomily on the chair of the Grand Master in the hall, and in addition to the four shadowy pillars in front of him, all that remained was the stone head bowing in front of him.
This is his own servant, faithful, but not wise. Especially when he asked questions, it didn't feel like his brain was simply missing a string, but the whole gaba was broken in the middle.
The servant was looking at the Venerable One right now, and asked sincerely and frankly, "Do you want to deal with Li Jianguo?" Why? ”
His Holiness shook his legs a little impatiently: "If you want to do it, you can do it, and you won't understand it when I explain it to you." ”
The servant's figure was already very strong, and although he had done his best to lock his body, the overall image was still the same as that of an uncivilized stone pier, and he asked, "Venerable, why do you want to do anything to such an insignificant person?" You often tell me that when it comes to IQ, you are the first in the underworld; When it comes to force, I'm at the top. Right now, this person is a heavenly official, and if we act so rashly, won't it expose us? ”
His Holiness moved his Adam's apple and put his hand on his forehead, silent.
He didn't know how to explain to the servants in front of him, and some things had to be said so clearly, right?
His Holiness frowned and sighed, then looked at the servant with a sincere face: "Is it possible that after this person comes, I am not the first in IQ?" ”
The servant also frowned, pondered for a while, and then his eyebrows widened, and suddenly he became clear: "Ah, that would explain why you killed him." ”
"Then do it!"
Li Jianguo was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Central Bank. The central bank is located on the street opposite the palace of Hades, and last night cleared a piece of land, which I heard was bought at a low price from a large family. The opening ceremony was very concise, there was no ribbon-cutting talk or anything, just a few sleep-deprived people climbed up to change the signboard, and then Qingxian led a group of people to rush in.
Qingxian is also wearing a business suit, and his already tall figure is even more outstanding with the help of high heels, and he walks like a clock with accurate calculations, which is even more heroic.
When Qingxian entered, he also gave Li Jianguo a short greeting: "Lord Li, since I have taken over the position of the central bank, I will definitely not do worse than you, wait and see." ”
Li Jianguo nodded vaguely: That must be, it is too difficult to do worse than me.
The work of the central bank is not easy, first of all, it is necessary to establish a docking and statistical mechanism with the underworld coins burned in the underworld, and then it is necessary to formulate a plan for the issuance of new underworld coins, the objects of issuance of the new underworld coins and the conversion ratio. Li Jianguo thought that one of the things would be very big, but presumably these people must be able to do it.
Even if you can't, don't ask me.
After the opening ceremony of the central bank, Li Jianguo asked Huang Si about the time, and the two of them immediately went to the east of the city, and then rushed to the Bao people, who should be able to catch up with the opening ceremony of the soul hunt.
"My lord, you are a celebrity now, you see, many people are secretly looking at you on the road."
As usual, Huang Si led Li Jianguo in front, he tried to wipe the stains on his clothes a few times with his hands, and pulled the hair on the top of his head, although it had little effect, but it did not affect Huang Si's excited mood.
Today's Huang Si feels very happy, from the inside to the outside there is a momentum of soaring, I feel that his steps are more steady, and even his height seems to be much higher.
Li Jianguo is not very accustomed to being watched by others, and it is nothing to be looked at by a little girl, but there are a group of strange-shaped species on the street, not to mention male and female, and the species are not very visible. Being stared at by such a group of people, I always feel that I have to sneak one less kidney after a while.
"Let's go," Li Jianguo whispered to Huang Si: "No wonder this is the underworld, this is too infiltrating."
"What's this," Huang Si said with a smile: "You, it's just that people should get used to it, come to the grassroots level, it's okay, is it true that someone dares to think anything wrong about you?" Even if they dare to come, you still have me, you see me as a white crane with bright wings, and a black tiger digging out his heart, who dares to make a mistake! ”
Li Jianguo watched Huang Si make funny moves, and he didn't feel much relief in his heart, but played the drums directly:
Can such a person really be my bodyguard? Now it is rumored that my martial arts are unparalleled in the world, if someone really wants to come to me to try the knife, it is estimated that Huang Si will not be able to block the knife for me when he jumps, right?
When I meet with Mr. Bao, I must talk to Mr. Bao and change Huang Si to a more reliable person, at least ......
A few flashes of light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye, and a black shadow suddenly jumped in front of Li Jianguo, only to hear a few wind sounds, followed by the sound of light toes falling to the ground.
Li Jianguo looked behind him, Huang Si didn't know when he had flashed behind him, holding his body backwards with one hand, and throwing down with the other, several flying blades fell to the ground with a sonorous sound.
"There's an ambush."
Huang Siyi changed his previous greasy voice, and his voice was low and alert. The head, which seemed to have never been straightened up, was now straight, and while looking around, he pressed his back tightly against Li Jianguo's body, and slowly pushed Li Jianguo's body backwards and moved towards the wall.
"Yes...... Ambush? ”
It was too lightning, and Li Jianguo hadn't reacted to what was happening, nor did he see any enemies. I only saw Huang Si teleporting behind him, and then he was pushed by Huang Si against the wall, did something happen in the middle?
Li Jianguo looked up at the surrounding environment, now it is a T-shaped intersection, there are no pedestrians on the road, the intersection is surrounded by several two-story buildings, and the door is lightly covered. A few torches were inserted at the intersection alone, and Li Jianguo and Huang Si were the only two people who could be illuminated by the torches.
Huang Si's ears suddenly moved.
There is a sound!
It's the sound of flying feathers breaking through the air!
It's an arrow!
Huang Si immediately pulled Li Jianguo's clothes with his right hand, pulled Li Jianguo under him, held the handle of the knife with his left hand and suddenly came out of the sheath, the knife light swept over the torch, the torch was extinguished suddenly, blocked left and right, waved three blades in a row, a few bells, and several feather arrows fell in response.
Li Jianguo was pressed to the ground by Huang Siyi, no matter how big his nerves were, he knew that he was being attacked now, and he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere at the moment, his heart beat faster, and he listened to the collision of feathers and swords tremblingly.
Huang Si picked up a few stones from the road and slammed them out, extinguishing all the torches on the road, and the entire neighborhood was instantly shrouded in darkness.
"Master Li," Huang Si leaned down and leaned close to Li Jianguo's ear and said, "The enemy is estimated to be more than a dozen, leaning against the wall, we will quietly escape." ”
After that, Li Jianguo felt that his upper body was lifted, and slowly pushed to the wall, and the two of them were close to the wall, squatting down, holding their breath, and walking slowly along the wall step by step.
Huang Si observed the situation around him as he walked, and he was keenly aware that several footsteps were approaching his position.
He tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife, picked up a few stones next to him, waited with bated breath for the other party to approach, and then immediately threw it in the other direction of the intersection.
The footsteps immediately became chaotic, and hurried towards the place where the sound came from, Huang Si also immediately grabbed Li Jianguo's body, gently threw it on his shoulder, and with a strong toe, he rushed forward with Li Jianguo, barely making any sound under his feet.
After running for two blocks, the crowd became dense again, and Huang Si confirmed that no one had caught up, so he let Li Jianguo go.
Li Jianguo was still confused in his mind. After putting it down, he sat down by the wall and looked at Huang Si in front of him who was barely breathing.
"You...... You...... Are you so good? ”
Huang Si looked at the surroundings and said with a smile: "It's far from Master Li, I'm smiling, then let's go to Lord Bao quickly, we can't say it's safe yet." ”
Li Jianguo thought that Huang Si just pulled his neckline last night, and Xiao Er was like seeing a ghost, so he immediately broke up, stepped to Huang Si's side, and opened Huang Si's neckline without saying a word.
There is a brand on Huang Si's nose near the neckline, which is an inverted triangle with a dagger in the middle.
"This sign...... What is it? ”
Huang Si pulled his neckline back, took two steps back, and said with a smile:
"It's a secret, you'll find out later."
