Chapter 237 Seven Crowds, Snakes and Leafs, and the Trail of Candles

Until July.

A sudden torrential rain poured away the sweltering heat of early summer and returned a piece of coolness.

The "Xiangmanlou", known as "the first building in the world", has now become the property of the Red King. From word of mouth, it has become a scenic spot in the imperial city. It is full of guests every day, and it is very lively.

Since Zheng Xiu was granted the title of Red Queen, Xiangmanlou has faintly become a dining hall for high-ranking officials, courtiers, princesses and princes, and dignitaries.It's not that they really want to eat the Red King's meal.Some people think that maybe they can meet the legendary Prince Zheng here, some people think that paying a lot of money for a while will make King Chi take care of him, some people think that this place is luxurious and decent, in short, it is expensive to eat here People have different ideas and plans.

After learning about this, Zheng Xiu quickly bought several poorly managed restaurants in the city without saying a word. All the staff of Jixiang Studio were mobilized to decorate and opened five branches in the imperial city. Finally, the "Xiangmanlou" urgent.

There are times when money is really hot to make.

Zheng Xiu looked at the large amount of money written on the ledger, feeling unhappy.Zheng Xiu is someone who has been there, so he can't guess what these people are thinking.Don’t pick the good ones, only pick the expensive ones. After ordering a table full of dishes and the most expensive wine, leaving a table of dishes that no one cares about, signing the order and leaving your name is nothing more than impressing the Chi Wang.

in the library.

Candlelight is faint.

Zheng Erniang and Zheng Xiu were alone in the room, and Zheng Xiu quickly flipped through the ledger.

There was a handful of orange hairs beside the table, Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows, picked it up and put it under his nose to smell it, hissing, there was a smell of mutton, and he didn't know where it came from.

He threw Mao Mao out of the window and let the heavy rain wash away.

Zheng Xiu closed the account book, "These people are quite small. Is my Chi Wang the one who lacks that little money?"

Zheng Erniang smiled and rubbed away Zheng Xiu's frowning brows: "But this month's revenue is as good as the usual two years." Rubbing away the boredom in Chi Wang's heart, Zheng Erniang gently rubbed Zheng Xiu's sides Temple, three circles up and three circles down.

"It's not a coincidence." Zheng Xiu closed his eyes, folded his hands in front of his body, enjoying Zheng Erniang's long-lost caress, and said with a smile: "In the future, you don't have to work so hard, we have earned enough money, and we will open one Month, closed for one year. You, just take advantage of the closing time, find a matchmaker in the city, instead of customers, find some young talents in the city, and see if you can catch your eye..."

"Don't make trouble, be serious, Erniang has never thought of getting married, she just wants to be a member of the Zheng family for the rest of her life." Zheng Erniang was so angry that she couldn't help pinching the soft flesh on Zheng Xiu's neck and spinning desperately.After spinning for a while, she felt that Zheng Xiu grinned in pain, and then pressed close to Zheng Xiu's neck with distress, breathing softly on the red and swollen place.Xindao this guy has become a prince, why sometimes he still plays childish temper in front of him and talks nonsense.

"itch!"

"No, it tickles you to death!" Zheng Erniang bragged even more joyfully.

Let's play for a while, Zheng Xiushen.

Zheng Xiu said helplessly: "I heard that Chef He lost his temper and chopped up the cutting board he had used for five or six years."

Zheng Xiu understands Chef He's temper, he treats the dishes he cooks like his wife.The dishes he cooks with his own hands can make the guests lick the plates clean. The chef He can burst out laughing, but once someone wastes his food, he looks down on his wife.

Those who can enter the path mostly have their own rules and persistence.

"That can't be helped, we can't reheat the leftover dishes and serve them to other guests."

Zheng Erniang was even more helpless. When Zheng Xiu was busy rectifying the important matters of the "Disaster Prevention Bureau", all of Zheng's property fell on her thin shoulders.In the past, there was Zheng Xiu's discussion, but now that Zheng Xiu has become a prince, the situation has grown, and Zheng Erniang knew that Zheng Xiu couldn't make Zheng Xiu a headache, so she could only bear it silently. Headache.

"Huh?" Zheng Xiu pondered for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea, thinking that you want to spend money, you dare to spend money on this king on this king's site, hum, Zheng Xiu rolled his eyes, and smiled at Erniang said: "Who says it can't be done?"

"Ah?" Zheng Erniang was dumbfounded.She thought Zheng Xiu was talking about re-arranging the leftovers for sale.

This is the behavior of profiteers.

Absolutely not.

"Just tell Chef He that the dishes that no one touches will be sent to Dali Temple. There are many poor homeless people living in Dali Temple. It can be regarded as improving their meals."

When Zheng Erniang heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, and said with a smile, "You still have a kind heart."

"Praise." Zheng Xiu shook his head: "Borrowing others' things to give yourself generously is not considered kind."

After a pause, Zheng Xiu said again: "Since they want to spend money for me, why stop them. Scratch one wave at a time."

Zheng Erniang was startled when she heard the words: "How do you say that?"

"Hold several auctions, and the one with the highest price wins. Isn't the south experiencing a drought and flood? For several months, the local tenants have had no crops, and even homeless. It is very pitiful. We can use the proceeds from the auction The amount will be transported to the south for disaster relief.”

Zheng Erniang's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. She had been exposed to Zheng Xiu's many novel concepts before, and she could understand the word "auction".But soon Erniang Zheng became worried again, muttering to herself: "But what are we shooting, we only shoot gold, silver and jewelry, after all, it has fallen into a cliché..."

"Take a picture of a meal." Zheng Xiu thought about it a long time ago, raised a finger, and said to Zheng Erniang with a smile.

"……meal?"

"On the surface it seems to be just a meal, but in fact it is an opportunity to have lunch with the Red King." Zheng Xiu said with a mysterious smile: "The Red King will personally teach...the secret of success."

Zheng Erniang was completely stunned.

What Zheng Xiu wants to take is... Chi Wang's lunch?

Zheng Erniang rubbed Zheng Xiu for a while, rubbed Zheng Xiu and fell asleep, looking at Zheng Xiu's sleeping face, that quiet face like a child did not have the arrogance of being a prince in the past.Zheng Erniang smiled, lightly pecked Zheng Xiu's cheek, and tucked the thin quilt for Zheng Xiu, without saying a word all night.

The next day, Zheng Erniang began to spread and publicize the "Red King's Lunch", which shocked the whole city's elite circle.

Even outside the capital, many dignitaries heard about this and became active.

But Chi Wang, who inexplicably triggered an earthquake in your circle, forgot about it not long after he made a move to Erniang.

To him, it doesn't matter whether the auction is auctioned or not, it's just to find something for Er Niang to do.

It's just for fun, it doesn't matter if it's money or not.

After the first two days of "onboarding", Zheng Xiu finally got his wish and became a hands-off shopkeeper, allowing the four departments of the Disaster Prevention Bureau to perform their duties and operate.

From all over the country, any case that seems a little bit wrong will be reported through the six doors, followed by layers of reports, and finally reach Jiang Gaoyi's hands.Jiang Gaoyi handed over the seemingly suspicious dossiers to Yin Qingqing of the secret department for final screening.

Yin Qingqing herself, a "time demon" with different backgrounds and a member of the "Pillar" of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, still grovels in front of Zheng Xiu, calling herself a "servant", but what she can't understand is why Zheng Xiu can trust her so much.After all, she originally belonged to the Emperor, but because of the Emperor's words, she fell into the hands of Zheng Xiu.

It is naturally impossible for the person given by the emperor to go back, and the emperor also wants to save face.Therefore, Yin Qingqing is considered "homeless" now, and can only stay peacefully by Zheng Xiu's side, willing to be a tool person with no affection.

How did Yin Qingqing know that it doesn't matter whether Zheng Xiu's talents are credible or not, he has a "brotherhood" he personally brought up to take care of the back garden for him, and the former "first knife catcher" to guard him. Don't panic.Besides, such "easy-to-use" people like Yin Qingqing who have cheap wages, are born differently, can be used as transmission points, are familiar with secret affairs procedures, and are obedient are rare nowadays. When Zheng Xiu thinks of this, he is even more eager Use a little more, for fear that one day it will be useless if it breaks.

People who are useful have to use it to death.

Well, the secret to the richest man's success.

Although Jiang Gaoyi is the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, in order to walk more smoothly in the "official" path, Zheng Xiu half-heartedly became the "special secretary" of the Disaster Prevention Bureau. If there is something to do, the secretary will be the secretary, and if nothing else, the secretary will be the secretary. Jiang Gaoyi holds two positions , so busy that one head and two big, the whole person is like a spinning top, serving as an official in the morning, going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to approve cases in the afternoon, and rushing to the Disaster Prevention Bureau after work, sorting out hills and hills file.It is said that Mrs. Jiang has a lot of complaints about this. In the circle of noble ladies, when three or five beautiful women go to the garden together, they tell their close friends about the distress in the boudoir.

Practicing swords during the day, teasing cats in the afternoon, stalking the phoenix at dusk, soaking in poison at night, Chi Wang lived a peaceful and healthy life after laying down his burden.When it was time for the first acceptance check of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Chi Wang went on a tour in a carriage, arrived at the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and checked the roster.

Jiang Gaoyi finally sorted out the current staffing of the four departments of the Disaster Prevention Bureau.Of course, it is mainly from the "Xiao" department. Needless to say, "Pillar", Zheng Xiu knows everything about the four people and one cat, and Zheng Xiu has given a lot of autonomy to the "secret" department and the "remnant" department, which is equivalent to the bureaucracy. Yin Qingqing and Wei Chen are in charge of the middle game respectively, and Zheng Xiu only needs to contact them one-way.Since the beginning of Xiaobu's employment, there are a total of 360 people.

By the way, the Big Three of the Brotherhood, for the sake of convenience, also joined "Xiao" by name.

Among them, a total of seven people stood out from the "Xiao" department and obtained the first-level authority.

The strength of these seven people is top-notch in Xiaobu, but they are inferior to other people.

They are:
"Walking with Flowers" Qing Shisan, "Tough Wife" Pei Gaoya, "Thousand-Handed Lady" Ji Hongou, "Don't Move the Sword" Gu Qiutang, "Shadow Play" Junbuxiao, "Gold Medal Middleman" Xier, " The Living Dead" Situ Yong.

For a whole July, under the above-mentioned mode of operation, the Disaster Prevention Bureau began to operate efficiently. The members of Xiaobu worked hard to marry rich daughters in order to get promoted and raise their salaries. , by the way, find a way to get in touch with Ye Weiyang's old department scattered in the north and south of the river, and make the disaster prevention bureau bigger and stronger.

Within a month, the news was sent back from all over Daqian through the miraculous transmission of "Chang Shihui".Under the high-efficiency operation, the Disaster Prevention Bureau handled more than a hundred accumulated conspiracy cases in total.

Among them, the more dangerous ones are: the case of boiled corpses in the Kitchen King Temple, the case of the word-eating demon, the case of the headless man, the case of the empty tomb of thousands of people, the case of the murder of a naked girl, and the case of the flying fox.

These more than a hundred cases sound like demons and ghosts, but it seems that because of well-known reasons, behind these cases, almost all of them are man-made. The crimes were committed by unscrupulous thaumaturges. With other thoughts, by possessing thaumaturgy, he caused chaos everywhere.

In just one month, the name of the Disaster Prevention Bureau gradually spread among the people everywhere.

Different from Weiyang's stealthy behavior in the past, the purpose of the Disaster Prevention Bureau is to act in a high-profile manner and make a name for itself.Xiaobu would often take over the original local Ye Weiyang office after dealing with a strange incident, and put up a plaque of "Disaster Prevention Bureau Branch" to keep the manpower.

The "Disaster Prevention Bureau" is like a prairie fire, bit by bit to the corners of Dagan that no one cares about. More and more people know the name of the Red King, and also know that the richest man in the past is now the richest man. The Scarlet Queen is worrying about the world's worries, worrying about the world's worries, and she has turned her head white.

"Remember that when you sing about the Disaster Prevention Bureau, you must add the phrase 'under the wise leadership of the Holy One'." News came back from everywhere, and when Zheng Xiu learned that the name of "Red King" was getting louder and louder, he knew the so-called " He, who has a high meritorious service, quickly started a "group chat" with a mirror, and told his subordinates to add the name of "Holy One" in front of the disaster prevention bureau.

In early August, it was extremely hot.

Zheng Xiu chose an auspicious day and held the first high-level meeting of the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

Xiangmanlou is closed for one day.

On this day alone, the money lost could buy half of the shops in West Market.

A variety of delicacies were set on the table.

The aroma of wine lingers around the nose.

"Blind Pillar" Wei Chen hurriedly came to the top floor of Xiangman Building - the supreme room.Behind him are two women. The most striking thing about the two women is their long golden hair. They are dressed in a style of the Western Regions, with beaded tulle on their faces, and their hair is half up. pigtails.

When Zheng Xiu looked at the two blonde girls, he was taken aback for a moment, and the dead memory suddenly attacked him desperately——Zheng Xiu remembered the old stalk of "a pair of maids from the Western Regions" that was popular in Zheng's family not long ago.

Looking down, there is only one difference between the two people who are similar in figure, one is one big and one is small.The big one is overwhelmed, and the small one is full of grip. Under the tight segmented dress, the slender waist is exposed, and there is a small pure gold bead in the navel, which is quite fashionable.

When they arrived at the supreme room, Feng Bei was blushing and stuffing a peeled orange into Zheng Xiu's mouth.

Feng Bei: "Ah..."

Meow opened her mouth.

The orange was stuffed into Zheng Xiu's mouth.

Zheng Xiu smacked his lips: "Sweet."

The two blond girls were stunned at the same time, the little girl on the left snorted softly, her throat trembled slightly, and she made a strange "hissing" sound, which at first glance sounded like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.

Wei Chen's eyes turned white. He didn't bring a birdcage today. Hearing the "hissing" sound, Wei Chen seemed to understand it. He was slightly startled, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

"It's okay." Feng Bei sat up straight, and his expression instantly became extremely serious.

"These two..."

Wei Chen groped for a seat, and smiled slightly: "Let me introduce, these two are the old department of the former Incomplete Building, two of the top ten, they have long been friends with the Red King, and seeing each other now, it can be said that they are not as famous as you. When we met, I was impressed by the chic demeanor of King Chi."

The younger one's voice was clear and rebellious like a girl, and said one word in a neutral tone: "Snake."

The older one has a gentle and pleasant voice, her eyes are curved, exuding a seductive charm.She bowed and saluted politely, with such a graceful posture, perhaps because of the contrast, this voice and manner made Zheng Xiu feel very comfortable.

"Ye, meet the Red King."

"Sister..." The younger one frowned, just about to say something.

"Shut up, the Red King is in front, how can you be rude." Ye's eyes were bent and narrowed into a slit, and his voice was even more gentle.

Hearing this, Xiao's delicate body trembled slightly, and she immediately closed her mouth.

"Eat, talk while eating."

In fact, it was said to be a high-level meeting, but in fact, Zheng Xiu only invited Wei Chen.

Talk about something that only the three of them can talk about.

Wei Chen offered a toast.

"You guys sit too. You don't need to be restrained in the bureau. Just call me the boss."

The younger one sat down, the older one thanked him first, then sat down limply, and approached the Red King.

When the meal reached the middle game, Wei Chen put down his chopsticks.

"I don't know Chi... the boss had dinner with Chen today, is it because of a case in the Disaster Prevention Bureau, or is there something else important?"

He wasn't stupid, so he could tell that the Scarlet King had other things to talk about.

Could it be the promise of "a pair of maids" made earlier?

Wei Chen speculated in his heart.

Zheng Xiu drank a cup, smiled slightly, and looked at Wei Chen:

"There is no other, it's just that there have been reports from everywhere recently, but no trace of that person has been found. You have fought against him for many years, and I want to ask you by the way, do you know that person..."

"Where is it hidden?"

Ask for a monthly ticket!
