Po Meng's body leaned forward slightly, the fine black fluff on her collar surrounded her face with an expectant expression, she folded her hands on the table, stared at Li Jianguo sincerely and said:
"Master Li, now that we have reached an agreement on the price reduction of Mengpo soup, I hope that Master Li can come to our place more and walk around more in the future. It will definitely be beneficial to everyone. By the way, I have arranged it downstairs. The food is ready. If you don't want to abandon it, I hope you will have a meal and take a rest."
Li Jianguo responded: "That's natural."
Po Meng glanced at a document on the corner of the table and said with a smile: "Sir, your companion seems to be very interested in the ornaments in the corridor outside my office. Please help me tell him that the ornaments will be given to him. .”
Um?
What's the meaning?
After a while, Li Jianguo blushed and ran out of the restaurant quickly with his head buried in embarrassment. Huang Si looked satisfied, holding the bulging luggage in his arms and slowly walked out of the restaurant contentedly.
"I said," the two of them walked out of the restaurant. Li Jianguo tilted his head, sighed deeply, and complained to Huang Si: "Brother, how could you pry off the diamonds on other people's ornaments at the door of Mrs. Meng's office? Let's come over. You're not just sneaking around, are you? What if you get caught?"
Huang Si chuckled and patted the Pixiu carving in his arms: "Isn't that okay? Besides, look at the hundreds of diamonds densely packed around this Pixiu's neck. I couldn't even see a few of them if I pry them off. Besides, there are With you here, even if we are seen, nothing will happen."
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si blankly, not knowing what to say about the ghost in front of him.
His appearance makes people afraid to take another look at him, but after being exposed to him for the past two days, he actually behaves like a common man. How does Bao Zheng view people? ? ?
Huang Si had already returned to his usual pace and hurriedly led the way: "Master Li, let's go quickly. This thing in my arms is a treasure. Let's go quickly to avoid being missed!"
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si's figure that had been immersed in the darkness, and then turned to look at the dark geographical environment around him. A sense of fear of being surrounded by something arose spontaneously. He quickly pulled up his legs, calling Huang Si's name, and He hurriedly chased forward.
Looking at the disappearing figures of the two people, a pair of eyes in the darkness turned around quietly and disappeared into the darkness in the opposite direction.
A night of silence.
On the third day, it’s 8 o’clock in the morning.
The new system has been drawn up and announced outside Pluto's palace, and the central bank has been formally established. As the scholar with the richest financial knowledge in the underworld, the fifth princess Qingxian was appointed as the interim president of the Central Bank. Most of the staff were selected from the souls of the underworld, and a small part were transferred from the underworld in other positions.
The soul hunting system was also officially implemented, the Soul Hunting Industry Association and the Soul Hunting Training School were also formally established, and some experienced ghosts changed careers and became soul hunting trainers. As soon as this matter was announced, it immediately received heated discussions and enthusiastic registrations from the majority of Hades (wealthy) residents. The long-standing problems in Hades that have troubled the Underworld with unpaid wages and unavailable souls finally have hope of being solved.
Mengpo Tang has also officially announced a price adjustment plan. It is expected to carry out step-by-step price reductions. The extent of the price reduction will be linked to the degree of inflation relief in Hades. In the end, the price of Mengpo Tang will be significantly reduced from the current price.
Alleviating inflation through the establishment of the central bank, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure through soul hunting, stabilizing people's livelihood through price reduction of Meng Po Tang, and improving the efficiency of Hades through the rotating king of hell system. At one time, four measures were taken together, although the effect could not be seen at the moment. But Hades’ confidence returned.
And confidence is the most important factor in a crisis. As long as there is confidence, then the phenomenon of strife and crowding between each other will be greatly reduced, and the suffocating atmosphere that has pervaded the entire Fengdu City for a long time has finally been relieved.
News also spread among the people: the new death test officer Li Jianguo is a person. With him here, the crisis in Hades will definitely be solved!
In the pitch-black hall, the dim firelight melted into the dense darkness. The firelight swayed, casting shadows on the gloomy faces of the two people in the hall. The torch and the darkness rarely work together, cannibalizing each other and blending with each other.
The Venerable sat gloomily on the Grand Master's chair in the hall. Apart from the four shadowy pillars in front of him, the only thing left in his eyes was this stone head bowing in front of him.
This is his own servant, very loyal, but not smart. Especially when he asked questions, it felt like his brain was not simply missing a string, but the whole thing was broken in the middle.
The servant was looking at the Lord and asked sincerely and frankly: "You want to get rid of Li Jianguo? Why?"
The Venerable shook his legs a little impatiently: "Just do it as you are told. You won't understand even if I explain it to you."
The figure of the servant was already very strong. Although he had tried his best to lock his body, the overall image was still the same as that of an uncivilized stone mound. He asked: "Your Majesty, why do you treat such an insignificant person?" What about taking action? You often tell me that in terms of IQ, you are the best in the underworld; in terms of force, I am among the best. Now this person is a heavenly official. If we take action so rashly, won't we be exposed? "
The Venerable's Adam's apple moved, he put his hand on his forehead and remained silent.
He didn't know how to explain it to the servant in front of him. Did some things have to be explained so clearly?
The Venerable frowned and sighed, then looked at the servant with a sincere face: "Is it possible that after this person comes, I won't be the first in IQ?"
The servant also frowned and thought for a while, then his eyebrows suddenly relaxed and he suddenly understood: "Ah, this explains why you want to kill him."
"Then do it!"
Li Jianguo was invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Central Bank. The Central Bank chose a location on the street opposite the Palace of Hades. A piece of land was cleared overnight last night. I heard that the house was bought at a low price from a wealthy family. The opening ceremony was very simple. There was no ribbon-cutting conversation or anything like that. Just a few sleep-deprived men climbed up and changed the sign. Then Qingxian led a group of people and rushed in.
Qingxian is also wearing a business suit, and her already tall figure is even more outstanding with the help of high heels. She walks like a clock with accurate calculations, which makes her even more heroic.
When Qingxian entered, he said a short hello to Li Jianguo: "Mr. Li, since I have taken over the position of the Central Bank, I will definitely not do worse than you. Let's wait and see."
Li Jianguo nodded vaguely: It must be done. It would be too difficult to do worse than me.
The work of the central bank is not easy. First, it must establish a docking and statistical mechanism with the underworld coins burned down from the underworld. Then it must formulate a plan for the issuance of new underworld coins, the distribution objects and the conversion ratio of the new underworld coins. Li Jianguo thought that one of these things would be overwhelming, but these people must be able to do it.
Even if you can't do it, just 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 rushed non-stop to the east area of the city. Next, they had to rush to Master Bao, and they should be able to catch up with the opening ceremony of Soul Hunting.
"Sir, you are a famous person now. Look, many people on the road are secretly looking at you."
As usual, Huang Si led Li Jianguo in front. He tried hard to wipe the stains on his clothes with his hands and pulled the hair on the top of his head. Although the effect was minimal, it did not affect Huang Si's joyful mood.
Huang Si feels particularly happy today. He has the aura of rapid success from the inside out. He feels that his steps are more steady, and even his height seems to be much higher.
Li Jianguo is still not used to being noticed by others. It's okay to be looked at by a little girl, but there are a group of weird and strange species on the street. Let alone male and female, the species can't be distinguished. Being stared at by such a group of people, I always feel like I will lose one of my kidneys soon.
"Let's go quickly," Li Jianguo whispered to Huang Si: "No wonder this is the underworld, it's too permeable."
"What's the point?" Huang Si said with a smile: "You are just used to treating others as superiors. It's okay to come to the grassroots for a walk. Is it possible that someone really dares to have any ill thoughts about you? Even if They dare to come here, you still have me, look at me like a white crane spreading its wings and a black tiger digging out its heart, who dares to make a mistake!"
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si's funny movements, and he didn't feel much relief in his heart. Instead, he kept beating the drum:
Can such a person really be my escort? Now there are rumors that my martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. If someone really wants to come to me to try the sword, I guess Huang Si can't stop the sword even if he jumps, right?
When I meet Master Bao, I must talk to Master Bao about replacing Huang Si with someone more reliable, at least...
Suddenly there were a few flashes of light out of the corner of his eye, and a black shadow suddenly jumped in front of Li Jianguo. He only heard a few sounds of wind, and then the light sound of toes hitting the ground.
Li Jianguo looked behind him. At some point, Huang Si had already flashed behind him. He held his body back with one hand and swung his other hand downwards. Several flying blades fell to the ground with clang.
"There's an ambush."
Huang Si changed his greasy voice before, and his voice was deep and alert. His head, which seemed to have never been upright, was now straight. While looking around, he pressed his back tightly against Li Jianguo's body and slowly pushed Li Jianguo's body backwards towards the wall.
"Is there... an ambush?"
It was so fast that Li Jianguo didn't realize what happened, and he didn't see any enemies. He only saw Huang Si teleporting behind him, and then he was pushed by Huang Si and leaned against the wall. Did something happen in the middle?
Li Jianguo raised his head and looked at his surroundings. He was now at a T-intersection. There were no pedestrians on the road. The intersection was surrounded by several two-story buildings, and the doors were slightly opened. Several torches were stuck alone at the intersection. Li Jianguo and Huang Si were the only two people who could be illuminated by the torches.
Huang Si's ears suddenly moved.
there's noise!
It’s the sound of flying feathers breaking through the air!
It's an arrow!
Huang Si immediately grabbed Li Jianguo's clothes with his right hand and pulled Li Jianguo under him. He held the handle of the knife with his left hand and unsheathed it. The light of the knife passed by the torch, which suddenly went out. He blocked left and right, and swung three blades in a row. There were a few clanging sounds, and several feather arrows fell in response.
Li Jianguo was pinned to the ground by Huang Siyi's hand. No matter how nervous he was, he knew that he was being attacked. He didn't dare to breathe at that moment, his heartbeat accelerated, and he trembled as he listened to the collision of feather swords.
Huang Si picked up a few stones from the road and suddenly shot out all the torches on the road. The whole neighborhood was instantly shrouded in darkness.
"Master Li," Huang Si leaned down and said in Li Jianguo's ear: "There are probably more than a dozen enemies. Stay close to the wall. Let's escape quietly."
After saying that, Li Jianguo felt his upper body being lifted up and slowly pushed to the wall. The two of them pressed against the wall, squatted down, and walked slowly along the wall step by step while holding their breath.
Huang Si observed the surrounding situation as he walked. He was keenly aware that there were several footsteps approaching his position.
He tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, picked up a few stones nearby, waited with bated breath for the other party to approach, and then immediately threw them in the other direction of the intersection.
The footsteps immediately became chaotic, and they hurried towards the place where the sound came from. Huang Si also immediately picked up Li Jianguo's body, lightly swung it on his shoulders, and with a push of his toes, he grabbed Li Jianguo and rushed forward. When I walked out, there was almost no sound from my feet.
After running for two blocks, the crowd thickened again. Huang Si confirmed that no one was chasing him before letting Li Jianguo go.
Li Jianguo was still confused. After putting it down, he sat slumped by the wall and stared blankly at Huang Si, who was barely breathing in front of him.
"You...you...are you so powerful?"
Huang Si surveyed the surrounding environment and said with a naive smile: "It's far from Master Li. It's ridiculous. Let's go to Master Bao's place quickly. We can't say it's safe yet."
Li Jianguo thought that Huang Si just pulled his collar last night, and the waiter immediately stood up as if he had seen a ghost, walked to Huang Si, and pulled Huang Si's collar without saying a word.
There is a mark on Huang Si's nose near his collar, which is an inverted triangle with a dagger in the middle.
"What is this sign...?"
Huang Si pulled his collar back, took two steps back, and said with a smile:
"This is a secret, you will know it later."
