Chapter 22: The Capital City of Chang'an 1
Chen Jiu cautiously took a few steps forward, dialed the gold medal with a dagger, and saw that there was no reaction, so he picked it up carefully, and saw that the front of the gold medal was engraved with the words "On business".
Although Chen Jiu had never seen it, he had heard of this kind of brand, and the person holding the gold medal had the right to mobilize any personnel and materials, and he could even cut it first and then play it.
Chen Jiu turned the gold medal over, pointed to the words on the back and asked, "What does this 'only do identity proof, not exercise power' mean?"
The man touched his nose, looked embarrassed, and said, "No, it's nothing, you just need to know that I'm not a bad person and a liar." ”
The gold medal can be faked, but the power of merit on it is true. Chen Jiu was still wary and asked, "What are you doing sneaking into my room?"
The man carefully put away the gold medal, pointed to Chen Jiu's dagger, and said, "Can you put it away?"
Seeing Chen Jiu insert the dagger back into his waist, the man patted his chest, sat down and poured a sip of tea, and said to Chen Jiu: "Little brother, you also sit down." ”
It stands to reason that this person is holding a gold medal, and Chen Jiu should kneel three times and bow at least to kneel down and salute, but this one really doesn't look like an official, and that one seems to have forgotten or gotten used to it.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Wu Decai, Wu Decai, twenty-six years old, a rooster, born in Yin, the fortune teller said that I am called 'rooster reports the world white', destined to get ......ahead."
Chen Jiu hurriedly said, "Stop, stop, what are you doing here?"
Wu Decai scratched his head and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, in fact, I'm from the Special Operations Department of the Datang Security Department, have you heard of the Special Operations Division?"
Chen Jiu shook his head, and he asked again, "What about 'Operation Dark Moon'?"
Chen Jiu still shook his head.
Wu Decai slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "It's right if you don't know, let me tell you, our department has just been established......"
Chen Jiu rolled his eyes, aren't you talking nonsense, who can know if it has just been established.
"Don't underestimate our department, although it has just been established, it has a lot of power, or can I bring out the royal gold medal brother?"
Chen Jiu didn't hear it right, and asked, "Let?"
Wu Decai smiled and said, "Yes, we will be a family in a few days, let me tell you brothers......"
Chen Jiu raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop, you mean, I'm going to be transferred to that Special Operations Division?"
"Yes, I've been saying this for a long time, you understand?"
Chen Jiu is angry enough, is it useful for you to say something for a long time.
"What am I doing there?"
"Why, of course, participating in Operation Dark Moon?"
"What is Operation Darkmoon?"
"This ...... Hey, it's an operation called 'Dark Moon'. ”
Chen Jiu asked for a long time, and he didn't know anything except that he knew that this Special Operations Division had just been established for half a year, and there were more than 20 people in total.
"Pack up your things, come with me, brother, I have to go back on an errand." ”
Chen Jiuyi tilted his head, "Don't go!"
"Oh, let's go, what? What do you say?"
Chen Jiu said word by word: "I won't go." ”
Wu Decai habitually scratched his head and asked, "Why?"
Chen Jiu asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
Wu Decai shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Do you have a call-up warrant?"
"Nope. ”
"Your gold medal only proves your identity, not exercising power, right?"
"Yes, but ......"
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
"It's like...... But if you don't come with me, how can I go back on an errand? ”
Chen Jiu spread his hands and said, "That's your problem." ”
Wu Decai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, how could he not want to go with him?
Of course Chen Jiu didn't want to go with him, this sneaked to his house, and then asked him to go to an inexplicable Special Operations Division as an ordinary walker, what is even more infuriating is that there are only about 20 people in the entire division, and Chen Jiu has more than 30 people in charge of the Inspection Division, and just look at this, you know that this division is definitely not very good.
Wu Decai stood up and muttered: "Strange boy, don't go to such a good place, I hurt Lao Tzubai to fly in the sky for two days and fly to this place where birds don't, and my brother-in-law will definitely have to scold me again when I go back." ”
Although he muttered to himself, his voice was not small, and Chen Jiu heard it clearly.
"Wait a minute, how did you say you got here?"
"How else can you come?"
"What are you flying on?"
Wu Decai rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, it's a flying boat." ”
Chen Jiu chuckled in his heart, feeling as if he had missed something.
"How can a flying boat lead to Lingnan?" Datang has a boat department, specializing in the flying boat business across continents, but most of them lead to the capitals of various provinces, and I have not heard of any state having a flying boat route.
Wu Decai looked at Chen Jiu like an idiot and said, "Do I want your approval to fall in Lingnan?"
Chen Jiu's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, you came by yourself in a flying boat, not in the flying boat of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Nonsense, it's hard work to talk to you. ”
"Where's the flying boat?"
"Just outside the city, my brother-in-law said not to let me be too ostentatious. ”
"Brother-in-law?"
"Well, it's Zhang Junhe, the head of the Special Operations Division, he won't let me talk about it everywhere, and you don't talk about it everywhere. ”
"Uh, okay. ”
Wu Decai drank all the tea in the cup, put down the teacup and said, "Okay, since you don't want to go, then I'll go back and tell my brother-in-law, but if he wants to ask you, you have to explain, don't blame me." ”
Chen Jiu grabbed him and said, "I thought about it again, and I think it's not bad to go with you to have a look." ”
"Really, that's great, let's go. ”
Chen Jiu was completely defeated by him, stopped him and said, "Big brother, it's already nine o'clock in the evening, so I'm not in a hurry to leave at this time, not to mention that I have to pack up my things and hand over to the yamen." ”
Wu Decai patted his head and said, "By the way, my brother-in-law said that this is a secret sign, and we must not say what you are going to do." ”
This is the only one who can also do secret work?
On the second day, Wu Decai made a message, and the Zhizhou Mansion immediately issued a reward for Chen Jiu, which was extremely simple, "five hundred taels of silver."
This is a lot of money for an ordinary reward, but compared to Chen Jiu's merits, it is too light.
So it was rumored in Lingnan Prefecture that Chen Jiu offended the prince because of the reward for selling the palace, and his good future was ruined, and the "Dongzhou Tiger Guts" became "Dongzhou Tiger Fork" overnight.
Chen Jiu resigned from his official position "in a fit of anger" and planned to go to other places to do business with his brother. When Liu Zhixian learned that Chen Jiu was leaving, he implicitly expressed his concern about the tea king's house that had been "rented" to Chen Jiu, and Chen Jiu didn't care about it, and generously returned the house.
Shan Cai took Wang Shuang back to the Inspection Department to show off his might, degraded Chen Jiu to worthlessness, and Li Zhang also resigned "in a fit of anger", leading the newlywed wife to go to business with Chen Jiu.
