Chapter 352: Congratulations to Uncle Jiu (thanks to the buns)(1/2)
"Uncle Nine."
Three days later, in front of Yizhuang.
A middle-aged man in a black double-breasted shirt and a gray round hat slowly stepped off the rickshaw and saluted a figure in yellow robes at the door, carrying two long and short magic swords.
"Mayor Ren?" Uncle Jiu paused and replied, "Looking for me?"
Ren Qingquan nodded: "Are you going out?"
Uncle Jiu smiled: "No, I just came back and turned around when I heard some noise."
Ren Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Do you have time now? I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Come into the room and talk." Uncle Jiu invited.
Shaoyan.
The two of them entered the main hall one after the other and sat down in order. Ah Yue held a tray and served a cup of tea to each of them.
With different personalities and different choices, life's circumstances will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Once upon a time, both she and Ah Xing longed to have a stable place to live and no longer wander around.
However, when her wish came true, Ah Yue gradually adapted to life in Yizhuang, but Ah Xing became more and more awkward. In the end, she gave birth to the idea of a good man with ambitions everywhere, which was almost contrary to her original wish.
So after surviving in Yizhuang for half a month, Ah Xing packed up his bags and went out into the world.
At that time, Ah Yue really couldn't understand. What was there to do in this world? Wasn't wandering enough in the first half of her life?
Later, she finally figured out that what Asing was tired of was never the world, but the life of struggling in the world without money, power or ability.
Now that he has learned the true skills from Yizhuang, he can no longer bear the loneliness...
"Xiaoyue is getting more and more beautiful."
The last time he came here, Ren Qingquan knew that Xiaoyue was the registered disciple of his boss and not a maid, so he didn't dare to neglect her at all.
"What's the use of getting more and more beautiful? I can't even find a husband." Ah Yue held the tray in her arms and couldn't help but sigh.
Ren Qingquan laughed: "Isn't it easy to find a husband? If you are willing, I can make arrangements for you. I guarantee to help you find an honest and reliable husband."
Ah Yue's cheeks turned red and she bowed slightly: "I'll think about it again, think about it carefully, you can just talk, I won't disturb you."
Seeing the girl running out of the lobby in a hurry, Ren Qingquan shook his head: "Girls nowadays are so strange. There are countless palms reaching out to them outside their hearts, but they often lament that they can't find a suitable partner."
Uncle Jiu was someone who had been here before and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because there's a shadow on my heart a long time ago... Not to mention the long love between these children, Mayor Ren, please have tea."
Ren Qingquan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then held the base of the teacup and said, "Uncle Jiu, we are not outsiders, so I won't ramble on.
The rich horse man in the town is dying, but for some unknown reason, he wants to use 90% of his wealth to pave the way for his death, leaving only 10% for his wife and children.
No one’s advice was of any use, no one listened, and finally they found me..."
Uncle Jiu was a little confused when he heard this: "Wait a minute, what does paving the way for death mean?"
"He doesn't want to drink Meng Po soup and forget the memory of his life as Ma Youcai. He believes that erasing memory is death in the true sense." Ren Qingquan explained: "He wants to use 90% of his inheritance in exchange for someone who can live a good life in the underworld. identity."
Uncle Jiu suddenly realized: "Then you come to me this time..."
Ren Qingquan spread his hands and sighed: "He knew that once he came to you in person, if he was rejected, he would have no chance, so he came to me and asked me to help. Please fulfill his wish. .”
Uncle Jiu said: "He overestimated me... I am the kind of person in the underworld who has a job but no rank. I don't have the ability, let alone the connections."
Ren Qingquan was stunned and said subconsciously: "The bank executive stationed in the underworld in the upper world doesn't even have a grade?"
"Of course, this is a special position, not even a formal official."
Uncle Jiu responded: "All the top managers of Tiandi Bank are only responsible to the Underworld Banking Regulatory Bureau. Officials from other systems, no matter what grade of priest they are, have no right to dictate to us."
Ren Qingquan was a little disappointed.
Ma Laocai's entrustment is nothing. It is best if it is completed. It doesn't matter if it is not completed. However, Ma Laocai's idea won his heart.
Meng Po Tang is like a guillotine. It forgets the past and the existence of "me". So for "me", what is the difference between it and beheading?
If Ma Laocai can succeed this time, it means that he can avoid this sin in the future and avoid the pain of reincarnation.
But if Ma Laocai almost squandered all his wealth and failed to achieve his goal, his future would be in jeopardy.
"Uncle Jiu, let's not mention the matter of Rich Man Ma for now. Can you tell me secretly? Do you really have no foundation at all in the underworld?"
Uncle Jiu nodded firmly: "I really have no foundation at all! Let me tell you this, after I went to the underworld, except for the relationship with Maoshan, I didn't know who to go to if I encountered anything."
"Can't we find connections with Maoshan?" Ren Qingquan asked.
"Senior Maoshan who is an official in the underworld are all ancestor-level figures. Who would care about me, a junior disciple?" Uncle Jiu said.
Speaking of this, Ren Qingquan finally gave up and silently changed the subject. After talking to Uncle Jiu for a while, he drank the last sip of tea in the cup, stood up and left, and stopped Jiu who was about to send him out at the door of the hall. uncle.
"Hello, may I ask Lin Fengjiao, does Mr. Lin live here?"
Soon, as he walked out of the door full of regret, a man wearing a plain brocade robe with pale cheeks appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye, holding his hand and asking.
"Lin Fengjiao, Master Lin?"
Ren Qingquan was stunned. Since the overthrow of the feudal rule of Qi Qing, the title "Sir" is not common in the world.
etc……
Ren Qingquan was as careful as his hair, looking at the other person intently, silently feeling the cold air released from the other person's body, and a guess suddenly emerged in his heart.
"That's right, I'm looking for Mr. Lin. By the way, he also has a common name, Uncle Jiu." The white-faced man said.
"What a coincidence, I am a friend of Uncle Jiu. May I ask why you are visiting Uncle Jiu?"
Ren Qingquan knew that he shouldn't ask more questions, but now the matter about reincarnation in the underworld was almost becoming a knot in his mind, and when he suddenly encountered something about 'down below', he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Finally we found the right place." The white-faced man was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I am the messenger who came to announce the good news. Mr. Lin has been promoted..."
Ren Qingquan: "..."
Doesn’t it mean you have no connections?
Doesn’t it mean that it has no foundation?
Doesn’t it mean that you don’t even have a single acquaintance?
There is nothing, how did this official rise?
"Can you take me to Uncle Jiu?"
The white-faced man couldn't understand the complicated expression on Ren Qingquan's face, but he didn't care about it: "I don't have much time left..."
In the main hall.
Mao Shanming sighed and sat next to Uncle Jiu.
"What's wrong with you?" Uncle Jiu offered some incense to Grandmaster and turned around to ask.
"It's not because of my grandfather."
Maoshan Mingdao: "After the news that Qin Yao was admitted to Fengdu came back to Maoshan, he urged me to go to the underworld again and again, asking me to take the exam and work hard, so as to enter the Shinto.
You think, can it be so easy to pass the examination for establishment? Senior brother, if you are so powerful, aren’t you just a person with a job but no rank? I am not even as good as you, how can I fail in the examination?"
Uncle Jiu's cheek twitched: "Are you uncomfortable? You came here to tell me this for no reason!"
"It's quite leisurely..."
Mao Shanming said something subconsciously, and suddenly saw Uncle Jiu frowning, he quickly smiled and said: "No, no, I was joking. Didn't I come here to ask you for help? Let's discuss how to get my grandfather to give up this terrible thing. idea."
"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine."
At this time, Ren Qingquan suddenly came over with the white-faced man and stopped in front of the hall door.
"Mayor Ren, why are you back again?" Uncle Jiu took Mao Shanming out to welcome him, and looked up at the white-faced man following Ren Qingquan.
He could tell at a glance that the other person was not a human being!
"I brought this messenger to you." Ren Qingquan said, turning and pointing at the white-faced man: "This is the messenger who brings good news. He said he has brought great good news. I want to be happy."
Uncle Jiu: "..."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am the Banking Supervisor of the Banking Regulatory Bureau, Yang Bai, and I have been ordered to inform you that your rank has been promoted to Ye Youshen. If you have no objection to this, please follow me back to the Banking Regulatory Bureau to receive your blessing. It’s an imperial seal.” The white-faced man cupped his hands and said.
Uncle Jiu: "..."
Ren Qingquan: "(o′?ェ?`o)"
Mao Shanming: "???"
"Master Yang, are you making a mistake?" After a long silence, Uncle Jiu said, "I haven't been to the underworld recently. How did I rise to this rank?"
Yang Bai shook his head: "Sorry, this question is not within the scope of my business and I can't give you an answer.
But before I come here, our team leader told me to tell you that if you don't agree to the promotion, the kindness paid by others for you cannot be refunded."
Uncle Jiu: "I didn't say I wasn't willing. Who doesn't want to get better? I'll go back to the Banking Regulatory Bureau with you now to find out what's going on."
Yang Bai smiled and said: "Okay."
"Junior Brother Mao, Mayor Ren, I have to take a step ahead if there is an emergency. I'll see you later." Uncle Jiu turned around and said, and quickly disappeared into Yizhuang with Yang Bai...
"Taoist Master Mao, I want to ask you a question." Looking at the direction Uncle Jiu was leaving, Ren Qingquan said suddenly.
To be continued...
