Chapter 236 The Disaster Prevention Bureau is open for business (4900 words)
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 mystery.
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;
Then, there were many sneaky "men in black" who liked to climb walls at night and quietly disappeared.
Zun'an for thirty-three years.
It’s June 30th.
Today the sky is blue and white, with no clouds in the sky.
Inside an ordinary house.
A middle-aged man in simple clothes and straw sandals was diligently chopping firewood in front of his house.
His wife has a pretty face. After dressing up carefully, she applied a little makeup and was ready to go out.
"Hey? Madam, are you going out today?"
The man asked with a smile.
He knew that his wife had "night jobs."
But the lady never said anything.
Usually at night, his wonderful wife would quietly lift the quilt, put on black clothes, and get out of the window. One day he asked, madam, what are you doing when you go out at night? Madam replied with a smile: I have many skills, and I go out to make money. Don't ask too much about money.
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 went out happily again, and the man said goodbye happily.
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, and my 'night job' has changed. Master."
The man was stunned.
The beautiful young woman 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 women!
Now our family will be rich!
The rough man feels happy when he sends the beautiful young woman off.
Similar scenes were quietly staged throughout the imperial city.
Pillowboys, tea waiters, stage generals, street performers, cooks, mourners, old gatekeepers, diligent walkers, 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 digging deep into the field while looking forward to it, and now it is finally looking forward to the official opening of the "Chang'an Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau".
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, expressing 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 melon "Heaven and Earth Closed", 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 popular 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 dressed in brocade clothes and dressed as a prince, standing at the door of the former heaven and earth.
Behind him, Qing Shisan was dressed up, and then there were Zheng Erniang, Zhizhi, Lily, Pingping, Bobo, Yin Qingqing and other family members, wearing tulle on their faces, surrounding the prince, and Yingying Yanyan,
Laughter.
Prince Zheng’s style.jpg.
Hearing Zheng Xiu muttering, Qing Shisan replied: "That is, spending the most money to do the most resounding things has always been the prince's motto."
The pillars in the heaven and earth were surrounded by reliefs of various beauties, and there was no time to change them. But the new signboard had already been put up, and Qing Shisan personally used a bamboo pole to open the red cloth, revealing the true face of the new plaque.
The plaque was given by the emperor himself, 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 knows, the Magical Shield Research Bureau is abbreviated as "SHIELD".
The red cloth was lifted, and the new department stood in the busy city.
"Chang'an Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau" was also 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. Ten fingers seemed not enough. It can be seen that the emperor
For this matter, I gave the Red King enough face and wrote to the Red King every day.
The two words "Chang An" cannot be easily shown in front of others. There is an obvious advantage in abbreviating it to "Disaster Prevention Bureau": everyone who knows understands it, and those who don't understand can still vaguely understand it. Insiders know that this is a special agency that handles disasters.
Where a crime is committed, ordinary people who don’t understand may look at the "Disaster Prevention Bureau". As the name suggests, it is probably a bureau for disaster prevention and control. Whenever there is a disaster, they will come to the Disaster Prevention Bureau to report a case. Maybe they can filter out the "suspicious case" from many cases.
"Relevant clues.
The Red King entered the house surrounded by everyone, as if he were going home. This was the former property of the Red King, but now it just had a different name.
The people watched the excitement for a while and then dispersed. There was a lame man guarding the door of the disaster prevention bureau, cleanly dressed and smiling. After a while, Qing Shisan walked out from inside and handed the lame man a small bronze mirror that looked like a jade pendant.
There is a word engraved on the back of the mirror: disabled.
Many people of all kinds walked into the disaster prevention bureau one after another. Most of them were Ye Weiyang's old subordinates. Some were disabled, some had serious faces, looking left and right, as if they were delusional about being victimized. These are the current members of the secret department.
people.
The cripple who was taking a nap seemed to have the ability to recognize people. When Ye Weiyang's old subordinates came, he didn't even bother to open his eyelids. Occasionally, there were three or two common people who didn't know that the gods were taking a break 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. The lame man thanked them 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 like 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 Cloth Shop" written on the side stopped in a hurry. Several tailors walked straight in carrying boxes.
"Huh? Brother Crab, Sister Bi Shui? Are you guys here too?"
Xi'er, a gold medal tailor, 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."
"Hey!" Xi'er waved her hand 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, and glanced at the last man with a haggard look. After thinking for a moment, she recognized him.
Somewhat 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
The prince is looking forward to the talents day and night, don’t worry. The prince is different from the night master in the past. He likes to attract talents the most. With your rare ability of "Suppressing Soul", 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 solving the "skills" of thaumaturges.
In her own words: Instead of working hard, it is better to put more effort into finding a good man.
Xi'er pulled Hulangbi Shui and turned around to greet Wuliuqi: "You haven't had any work recently, right? There are not many people doing mourning work 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 poke his heart, making Wu Liuqi feel the urge to cry loudly after meeting 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 Jiao, 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, Wu Liu Qi, Aunt Bi Shui went in.
The remaining one, 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, so he quickly caught up with her.
After entering the disaster prevention bureau, I quickly saw a sign on the fork in the corridor, which read: Newcomers to the Akatsuki department please go to the Chiwang office to enter the roster. There is a bracketed note at the end: (The Chiwang office is located in the front "Hua".
Open a sex room".)
Aunt Bi Shui spat lightly and said in a low voice: "Why are the flowers blooming with both stems..."
After Mo Jiu caught up with him, he saw the sign and was dumbfounded: "What kind of flowers are blooming with two stems?"
"This way." Wuliuqi stepped forward and turned left. He obviously knew the way.
Xi'er pursed her lips, looking at Wuliuqi's back and 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?"
Mo Jie 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.
Already."
"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 it was Wu Liu Qi, then Bi Shui, and finally it was Mo Jie'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.
When Mo Zhuo entered the door, two people and a cat came into view. He saw a high-ranking official wearing an official hat crouching at his desk and writing crazily. In a trance, Mo Zhuo seemed to see in him the figure of himself 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 Zhui vaguely saw a flesh ball-shaped pattern behind the brand.
Mo Jie suddenly felt a little nervous.
The man who was copying books at his desk was actually Jiang Gaoyi, the Minister of Punishment at that time.
"What's the name of the visitor? What year is it? What position did you hold in Ye Weiyang Middle School? What path did you take?"
The official who was busy writing at his desk 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, I am sixteen this year. I was Ye Weiyang's subordinate, and I 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 looked back and sat by the window.
Looking at Yunjuan Yunshu, the prince 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 accept 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 Xixian 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 in front of you twice."
It’s time to land.”
Mo Jie was stunned for a moment and then lost his words.
Xia Xian Lu was really not a fat job. Two people died in less than half a year. This was obviously unlucky. When Mo Jiu just took office and heard about this, he felt uneasy for a while before he couldn't help but take over the position. Finally,
It was impulse that defeated 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 more violent 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 are motionless.
Mo Jie was dumbfounded: "Just because of this broken cat?"
"Meow?"
The orange cat's eyes opened slightly, and the green orbs seemed to glow with a 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 Mei Xiangu.
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 an unknown amount of time 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 the 'Chang Shie', go out and turn left when you see the sign. Go to the logistics department to find a deaf man who can teach you about the uniforms. 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 matters and monthly commission, and finally go to the 'Contract Office' to find a blind man to sign and pledge, and you will be officially hired."
Mo Zhui 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:
