The establishment of the Chang'an Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau is a "big event" worthy of being recorded in history.
However, inside the imperial city, and even the whole world, it felt quiet, and I didn't notice that the atmosphere was different from the past.
Twenty years ago, with the transition between "Eternal Darkness" and "Eternal World", the art of doorway magic was quietly born.
But because "the wonder is hidden in the city," most people don't know the secret.
Having said that, in the past two months, people have still noticed something unusual.
First, all the "ravens" all over the world in Daqian died suddenly overnight, leaving Daqian with a bright blue sky;
Immediately afterwards, many sneaky "men in black" who like to climb walls and walk around at night quietly disappeared.
Zun'an for thirty-three years.
It's June 30th.
Today the sky is blue and white, cloudless.
In an ordinary house.
A middle-aged man in simple clothes and straw sandals was diligently cracking firewood in front of his house.
His wife has a pretty face. After dressing up carefully, she put on some makeup and was ready to go out.
"Yo? Madam, are you going out today?"
The man asked with a smile.
He knew his wife had a "night job."
But the lady never said it.
Usually at night, his beautiful wife would quietly lift the quilt, put on black clothes, and get out of the window. One day he asked Madam, Madam, what are you doing out at night? Madam smiled and replied: I am very skilled and go out to make money, so don’t ask any more questions.
The man was doubtful at first, but later of course he chose to believe her.
During this period of time, my wife stayed at home honestly, which made the man a little uncomfortable.
Now the wife is going out happily again, and the man is happy to say goodbye.
Before leaving, the lady suddenly seemed to have remembered something, and turned around and smiled sweetly: "Husband, I know that you were doubtful in the past, but I really couldn't tell you in the past. But things are different now. My "night job" has changed. Master."
The man was stunned.
*** chuckled: "I am now working for the Red King."
The rough man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into tears with excitement.
Red King!
That Red King!
The red king who is not short of money!
The spendthrift Prince Zheng!
The Red King who likes married women!
Now our family will be rich!
The rough man felt happy as he sent *** off.
Similar scenes were quietly staged throughout the imperial city.
Pillowboys, tea waiters, stage generals, street performers, cooks, mourners, old gatekeepers, diligent walkers, the former night guards or stars all have the status of "hidden city".
Ever since King Chi announced the establishment of the "Chang'an Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau" that night, the silent Ye Weiyang's old department has been looking forward to the official opening of the "Chang'an Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau" while digging deep into the field.
The most prosperous "city that never sleeps" in the Imperial City in the past - Heaven and Earth, has undergone a complete makeover after a ten-day "closure for rectification".
Ten days ago, Zheng Xiu asked Zheng Erniang to issue a notice in Heaven and Earth, telling the fact that "Heaven and Earth" was about to close down.
Related industries and girls will be transferred to canal boats. In order to meet the needs of customers, Zheng's boat will add ten more boats in the next two months.
Before the melon "New Red King" could be eaten, the people in the city soon ate the fresh and delicious "Heaven and Earth Closed" melon, causing a commotion in the city.
There are different opinions on this matter. Some people say that Zheng Xiu has a lot of inconveniences when he becomes the prince. Some people say that Zheng Xiu wants to benefit the people. Some people say that Zheng Xiu wants to return the girl signed in heaven and earth to the people.
It is said that as a result, several good things happened: several regular customers were afraid that they would not be able to see the girls inside, so they boldly hired matchmakers to lobby. During the ten days of closure, several marriages took place and became a good story.
now.
Zheng Xiu stood at the door of his property, looked up at the brand-new store, and said to himself: "Let me tell you, something is wrong. It turns out that "low-key" has never been my style."
Zheng Xiu was dressed in brocade clothes, dressed as a prince, and stood at the door of the former heaven and earth.
Behind him, Qing Shisan was dressed up, and then came Zheng Erniang, Zhizhi, Lily, Pingping, Bobo, Yin Qingqing and other family members, wearing tulle on their faces, surrounding the prince. , laughter.
Prince Zheng’s style.jpg.
Hearing Zheng Xiu's beeping, Qing Shisan replied: "That is, spending the most money to do the loudest thing has always been the prince's motto."
The pillars in heaven and earth were surrounded by beauties of all colors, and there was no time to change them. But the new signboard had already been put up, and Qing Shisan used a bamboo pole to lift the red cloth with his own hands, revealing the true appearance of the new plaque.
The plaque was personally gifted by the emperor, and it was in perfect order. The three large characters made of pure gold shone in the sun.
As we all know, once a department that is too long has a sign, it can only be abbreviated.
For example, as Zheng Xiu knew, the Magical Shield Research Bureau was abbreviated to "SHIELD".
The red cloth was lifted, and the new department stood in the busy city.
"Chang'an Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau" has also been abbreviated into three loud words: Disaster Prevention Bureau!
"The calligraphy of Emperor is so well written."
Zheng Xiu praised loudly.
During this period, the emperor worked tirelessly to write a lot of words for the Zheng family. You must know that the emperor's calligraphy treasures can be called family heirlooms. Zheng Xiu counted them with his fingers and found that ten fingers were not enough. It can be seen that the emperor gave the Red King enough face for this matter and wrote to the Red King every day.
The two words "Changdian" cannot be easily shown in front of others. There is an obvious advantage in abbreviating it to "Disaster Prevention Bureau": everyone who understands understands, and those who don't understand can also seem to understand. Insiders know that this is a place that specializes in dealing with disasters. People who don't know better will look at the "Disaster Prevention Bureau" as the name suggests. It is probably a disaster prevention and control bureau. Whenever there is a disaster, they come to the Disaster Prevention Bureau to report it. Screen out clues related to the "scare" from many cases.
King Chi entered surrounded by everyone, as if he were going home. This was the former property of the Red King, but now it just has a different name.
The people watched the excitement for a while and dispersed soon after. There was a lame man guarding the door of the disaster prevention bureau, cleanly dressed and smiling. After a while, Qing Shisan walked out of it and handed the lame man a small bronze mirror that looked like a jade pendant. There was a word engraved on the back of the mirror: disabled.
One after another, many people of all kinds walked directly into the disaster prevention bureau. Most of them were Ye Weiyang's old subordinates. Some were disabled, some had serious faces, looked around, and looked like they were delusional about being victimized. He is now a member of the Secret Service.
The cripple who was taking a nap seemed to have the ability to recognize people. When Ye Weiyang's old men came, he didn't even bother to open his eyelids. Occasionally, there were three or two ordinary people who didn't know about the break of heaven and earth and wanted to come in for some fun. The cripple opened his eyes and pointed at the new plaque above. , said in a hoarse voice: "Show your talent, this is the Red King's territory.", advised him to go home.
At noon on the opening day, a group of people passed by and threw two hot buns to the lame man, who thanked him with a smile. After the meal, in the hot weather, a woman and two men came together.
The woman has a charming figure, a gauze face, and a pair of red and phoenix eyes that are so watery that they seem to be able to squeeze out water.
Among the two men, the older one has a messy beard and a haggard look, while the other young man is dressed as a scholar and is high-spirited.
The three of them stopped in front of the door for a moment. The young man raised his head and stared blankly at the words "Disaster Prevention Bureau".
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the street, and a carriage with "Zheng's Clothing Village" written on the side stopped in a hurry. Several tailors carried boxes and walked straight inside.
"Huh? Brother Crab, Sister Bi Shui? Are you here too?"
Xi'er, a gold dressmaker, stepped out of the car and saw the three people standing there. She recognized them and took the initiative to greet them.
Aunt Bi Shui, who was about the age of a tiger and wolf, looked back and saw that it was Yue Yan. She pursed her lips and smiled under the veil: "It turns out to be Yue Yan."
"Harm!" Xi'er waved her hands angrily: "What kind of Yueyan is this? It's an old thing in the Year of the Monkey. My name is Xi'er, Xi'er, the dressmaker of Prince Zheng's family!"
Xi'er, who had been undercover Ye Weiyang for many years, finally turned over and sang undercover. The joy on her face was visible to the naked eye. She signaled Hulangbishui to stop shouting. She glanced at the last man with a haggard look, thought for a moment, and recognized him. A bit surprised: "Five, six, seven?"
The man known as "Five Six Seven" was slightly startled: "Yue...ahem, Mr. Xi, remember?"
"'Weeper'! Of course I remember." Xi'er would not tell them that she had been undercover for many years. She smiled, pulled Hulangbishui and walked in: "Come on, sister, you are our Don’t worry, the prince is looking forward to the talents he has been looking forward to day and night. The prince is different from the night master in the past. He likes to attract talents the most. With your rare ability of "Suppressing Spirits", sister, the prince will not treat you badly. You can rest assured. .”
She knew Hulangbishui. In the past, Hulangbishui rarely attended work. After becoming a "Xingxiu", she gave up the idea of continuing to be promoted. She was content with the status quo and was mostly responsible for interpreting the "skills" of thaumaturgis.
In her own words: Instead of working hard, it is better to put more effort into finding a good man.
Xi'er pulled Hulangbisui and turned around to greet Wuliuqi: "You haven't had any work recently, right? There are not many people in the mourning business now. But don't worry, the fewer opportunities there are, the more our prince likes it. Let's go, let's go Let’s go in together.”
Wu Liuqi was stunned for a moment and agreed repeatedly. Xi'er could see the depression and lack of ambition in his heart. One sentence seemed to prick his mind, making Wu Liuqi feel the urge to cry loudly when he met his soulmate.
Leading Hulang Bi Shui and former Night Guard Wu Liu Qi inside, Aunt Bi Shui held hands with Xi'er and curiously asked what the few boxes of things that had just been moved in were, Xi'er said mysteriously: "You guys will wait a minute. Just know it.”
"Ah? What about me? What about me? What about me?"
Mo Jie, the "literary man" who had just bid farewell to "Xingxiu Douxie" and became "Xiaxian Lu" with high spirits, but had not yet had time to go to work, saw that Xi'er completely ignored him, looked confused, and pointed at his face.
Xi'er, Wuliuqi, and Aunt Bishui went in.
The remaining Mo Zhui was messy in the wind in front of the door.
The lame man took pity on him. He had just finished eating the buns and wiped it on his trouser legs, leaving a few oily marks. He first looked at the boy up and down, and after a while he sighed:
"generally."
The young man was stunned.
Then the lame man flattened his mouth again: "Hardly."
He pointed to the door and said, "Go in."
Mo Jiu felt like he was about to cry and quickly caught up with her.
After entering the disaster prevention bureau, I soon saw a sign on the branch road of the corridor, which read: Newcomers to Akatsuki, please go to the Red King's office to enter the roster first. There is a parenthetical note at the end: (Chiwang’s office is located in the front “Huakai Bingdi Room”.)
Aunt Bi Shui spat softly and whispered: "Why are the flowers blooming and growing..."
After Mo Jiu caught up with him, he saw the sign and was dumbfounded: "What kind of flowers are blooming together?"
"This way." Wuliuqi stepped forward and turned left. He obviously knew the way.
Xi'er pursed her lips and looked at Wu Liuqi's back but hesitated to speak.
After a while, there were whispers in front of them, and there was a long queue in front of them.
"Still waiting in line?"
Mojie was dumbfounded.
"Then you just wait, don't be in a hurry. After all, there are so many people entering the Xiaobu on the first day." Xi'er waved to Bi Shui: "Xi'er still has a lot of clothes to make, so I'll go back to Cloth Village first. ”
"By the way, Sister Bi Shui," Xi'er secretly glanced at Aunt Bi Shui's upper body and whispered, "If you feel that your new clothes don't fit, you can come to the cloth store to find me at any time."
Bi Shui responded with a smile.
They waited for two hours.
"Next person."
A tired voice came from behind the door, first Wu Liuqi, then Bi Shui, and finally it was Mo Zhui's turn.
It turned out that there was a side door inside. No wonder Mo Zhuo didn't see anyone else coming out of this door.
Mo Jie entered the door, and two people and a cat came into view. He saw a high-ranking official wearing an official hat and crazily writing books. Mo Jie suddenly seemed to see in him his own figure, who was crazily copying books late at night.
And the Red King, who has become the focus of the people in the city these days, the richest man in the world, is leaning against the window, looking at the setting sun. He holds an orange kitten in his arms, and a small kitten hangs around the orange cat's neck. The brand was made of pure copper. As the cat's head moved up and down comfortably under the caress of the Red King, Mo Xiao vaguely saw a flesh ball-shaped pattern behind the brand.
Mo Jie suddenly became a little nervous.
The person who copied the book turned out to be Jiang Gaoyi, the Minister of Punishment at that time.
"Whose name is the visitor? What year is it? What position did you hold in Ye Weiyang Middle School? Which path did you take?"
The official who was reading like crazy lowered his head and asked several questions in succession. He raised his head and glanced at the young man, with a gentle smile on his tired face: "Don't be nervous, just answer truthfully."
"Mo Zhuo, he is sixteen this year. He was Ye Weiyang's subordinate, and he followed the path of a "literati"."
"Xiaxianlu?" When Jiang Gaoyi heard this, he immediately looked at the young man with special eyes and praised: "You can be Ye Weiyang's "December" at such a young age. The future is promising!" Jiang Gaoyi turned around and looked at the boy sitting by the window. The prince, who was looking at Yunjuan Yunshu and caressing the orange cat's butt, tentatively asked: "Your Majesty?"
"It turns out it's you." Zheng Xiu perked up for a moment when he heard the words "Xiaxian Lu", but suddenly he fainted again when he suddenly remembered who Xiaxian Lu was. He replied listlessly to Jiang Gaoyi: "Temporarily granted "C" level authority."
Mojie was puzzled.
Jiang Gaoyi quickly registered Mo Zhuo's information on the roster and explained the meaning of the four levels of "A, B, C, and D".
To put it simply, in the "Disaster Prevention Bureau" of the corporate department, the prince will assign a level to the "Akatsuki member" on the day of registration. This level means what level of orders the Akatsuki member can take.
Mo Jiu is now only a "C-level member", which means that he can only take orders with the highest "C-level" rating.
"I don't accept it!" After understanding, Mo Lie gritted his teeth and tried to make his words less arrogant: "I am Xia Xian Lu!"
Jiang Gaoyi stroked his beard in distress: "You are making it difficult for me to do this. After all, it is the prince's wish."
Zheng Xiu stood up with the kitten in his arms and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this level is only temporary. You can improve it when your strength increases. This is also for your own good. Don't forget that I have already died twice in a row in front of you." It’s time to land.”
Mo Jie was stunned for a moment and immediately became speechless.
Xia Xian Lu was really not a fat guy. Two people died in less than half a year. This was obviously unlucky. When Mo Jiu took office and heard about this, he felt uneasy for a while before he could bear to take over the position. In the end, his impulse defeated his reason.
"Did you see this kitten's whiskers?"
Zheng Xiu pointed to the orange cat’s whiskers.
Mo Lie nodded.
"When a kitten encounters someone walking deep in the doorway, its beard will twitch. The harder it trembles, the deeper the person's miraculous skills are." After saying this, King Chi asked Jiang Gaoyi to come over, and Jiang Gaoyi went up - obviously The prince used this method to give reasonable explanations to many "doubtful" people.
Before and after Jiang Gaoyi stepped forward, the orange cat's whiskers trembled slightly at a frequency that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
"Come here again."
Mo Lie took a step forward obediently.
The cat's whiskers were motionless.
Mo Jie was dumbfounded: "Just because of this broken cat?"
"Meow?"
The orange cat's eyes opened slightly, and the green eyes seemed to glow with dazzling light.
In an instant, Mo Zhui felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was chilled, and he fell softly to the ground with a thud. Many strange illusions suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of Fairy Girl.
Zheng Xiu clapped his hands.
Jiang Gaoyi quickly handed over a chamber pot.
Mo Zhuo held the chamber pot and vomited for a while.
After vomiting a lot of meat, Mo Zhuo suddenly realized that this orange cat, which looked worse than a "soul-inducing lamp", was not an ordinary orange cat.
When Mo Jie came back to his senses, the sky was half dark, leaving only a slight dim light. He was stunned for who knows how long just now.
Zheng Xiu handed a bronze mirror to Mo Lie, took a look at the sky, and waved his hand for Mo Lie to step aside.
"Put away "Chang Shie". After a while, go out and turn left to see the sign. Go to the logistics department to find a deaf man to learn about the department uniform. Then go to the "Newcomer Training Office" to find a mute. He will tell you how to use Chang Shie and how to take orders in the future. Pay attention to the things you need to pay attention to and the monthly commission. Finally, go to the "Contract Office" and find a blind man to sign and deposit it, and you will be officially hired."
Mo Jie took the mirror and walked out in confusion.
Before leaving, Zheng Xiunian met Mo Zhui. He called Mo Zhui to stop, held the kitten in his arms, and reminded:
"Be nice to cats from now on."
Zheng Xiu smiled:
"It is the legendary "Cat Pillar."
