Above the stars

The Imperial Guard is a huge military system that can defend the capital outside and protect the royal family internally.

Because of the special nature of their work and their sense of honor, the guardians in the Phoenix Palace are also called the Palace Guards.

As soon as Chen Fenglei stepped into the palace guard station, Li Baolin, the director of the palace guard station, came over happily and asked with a smile: "General manager, why do you have time to come over today?"

Chen Fenglei sat down on the sofa in his office carelessly, glanced at Li Baolin, and asked aloud: "Nothing happened recently, right?"

"It's okay." Li Baolin poured tea for Chen Fenglei himself and said in a flattering manner: "I will be watched by the manager here, nothing will happen. If anything happens, the manager will pour boiling water on my face."

While talking, he respectfully handed over the hot tea.

Chen Fenglei is the general manager of the Phoenix Palace, and he is responsible for taking care of all the affairs in the palace.

Therefore, the Palace Guards are also within his jurisdiction.

The Royal Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers and are the core force that protects the monarch personally.

It can be said that if there is a problem with the Palace Guards, then the Phoenix Palace will be exposed to risks, and the safety of the royal family will be in question.

Including the country's leader, he will also face unknown dangers.

Therefore, every member of the palace guard needs to be carefully selected and reviewed carefully.

The eldest prince Zhong Tianque personally proposed the title of deputy captain of the Palace Guards of Tang Bandit, and Zhong Daolong nodded his approval before it was quickly passed.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a long process to go through.

Chen Fenglei took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "Seriously?"

"Seriously." Li Baolin walked to sit on the sofa in front of Chen Fenglei and said, "I'm here twenty-four hours a day. Even when I do things with my ladies, I'm in my office."

"I don't dare to leave the guardhouse for a moment. I'm afraid that if I blink my eyes, I will betray the trust of the manager in me."

"Let Zhuang Zhongbing come over." Chen Fenglei said without saying a word to Li Baolin's flattering attitude, "I have something to talk to him about."

"Okay. I'll let him come over now."

Li Baolin called Zhuang Zhongbing on the spot, but the phone was turned off and no one answered.

"This kid, how can you turn off your phone during working hours?"

Li Baolin muttered a few words, and then dialed the number of Bai Ye, the captain of the first team.

The call was quickly connected, and Li Baolin yelled angrily: "Where is Zhuang Zhongbing? Why doesn't that guy answer the phone? Do you know that turning off the phone during work is a violation of discipline? What exactly does he want to do?"

Bai Ye kept smiling and said, "Director, I'm going to criticize him right now. How can he turn off his phone during working hours? He will never be allowed to make such a mistake again in the future."

"If he doesn't do it next time, I'll peel off his skin if he does it again. Hurry up and ask him to come to my office."

"Director, do you have anything to do with Zhuang Zhongbing?"

"I have something to report to him. Do I still need to report to you? Stop talking nonsense and ask him to come over quickly."

"Director."

"What? He didn't come to work?"

"Captain Zhuang has something going on at home. My wife is going to have a baby. She said she is not feeling well. Today I took my wife to the hospital for a checkup, so I asked for leave." Bai Ye tried hard to find a baby for his old comrade. Justifiable reasons.

"Are you asking for leave?" Li Baolin turned to look at Chen Fenglei and asked about his attitude with his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't express his position, I had to continue to ask: "When did it happen? Call him immediately and ask him to come back quickly. Manager Chen is waiting for him in my office."

"Yes, I'll make a call right away and ask him to come back." Bai Ye responded hurriedly.

They are not afraid of Li Baolin, but they are afraid of Chen Fenglei.

They are Li Baolin's direct subordinates. They usually eat and drink, and the relationship is pretty good.

When something happens, the higher-ups just turn a blind eye and let it pass.

However, Chen Fenglei will only gouge out one eye and then the other.

After hanging up the phone, Li Baolin pretended to be angry and said: "These little bastards will be deceived by them if you don't pay attention. You can't keep an eye on them all the time."

After a pause, he interceded with Chen Fenglei: "Manager, it's not easy for Zhuang Zhongbing. His wife is pregnant and he has to take her for a checkup. We can't stop this kind of thing, right?"

Chen Fenglei drank tea expressionlessly and said, "Let's wait and see."

Wait and see?

Who are you waiting for? What to see?

Li Baolin didn't understand what these words meant, so he could only stay with Chen Fenglei and 'wait and see'.

Chen Fenglei stopped talking. When he started talking, he couldn't wait for his response, so he had to lower his head and drink tea.

He could feel that the chief manager was in a bad mood, as if something had happened.

Soon, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Li Baolin shouted.

Chen Fenglei's attitude was unclear, and his emotions were also affected, and he wanted to vent his anger.

Bai Ye pushed the door open and said in a panic: "Director, Zhuang Zhongbing has disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Li Baolin stood up from the sofa and shouted angrily: "How could he disappear? Where could a living person like him go?"

"His phone couldn't be reached, and his wife's phone couldn't be reached either. We contacted their prenatal hospital, and the hospital said they had not seen their medical records in recent days."

"I asked people to go to their house to search. Their door was locked, and no one opened the door when they pressed the doorbell. No one around them could contact them."

Snapped!

Chen Fenglei smashed the tea cup in his hand into Li Baolin's face.

He just said that if something happened, Chen Fenglei would pour boiling water on his face.

It was a prophecy, but I didn’t expect it to be fulfilled so quickly.

The tea was boiling hot, but Li Baolin didn't dare to hum.

Letting the tea and tea leaves slide down his cheeks, he didn't dare to reach out and apply a handful.

He knew that the chief manager was really angry.

"Zhuang Zhongbing has disappeared for two days, and you didn't realize it until now?" Chen Fenglei jumped up, pointed at Li Baolin's nose and cursed.

"If I don't come here today, when will you know that Zhuang Zhongbing is missing? Will you never know?"

"I've come to ask for someone, but you're still looking for reasons and excuses to deal with me. Can this kind of thing be dealt with? Do you know what happened to him? Do you know why he disappeared?"

"My subordinate neglected his duty and I am guilty of it." Li Baolin bowed and apologized.

Seeing that the director had apologized, Bai Ye quickly put the shit basin on his head and explained aloud: "It's all my fault, it's all my responsibility. I didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. I just thought about Zhuang Zhongbing. There was indeed something going on at home, so I neglected his discipline."

"I should strictly implement the management regulations of the health center and supervise and name every member of the health center. I am responsible for lax discipline and neglect of precautions. Please punish me by the general manager."

"Punishment?" Chen Fenglei sneered and said harshly: "If you can't find Zhuang Zhongbing, it won't be as simple as punishment."

"Yes, we will send someone to look for him right now." Li Baolin responded hurriedly.

He knew that this was the manager giving them a chance to atone for their sins.

"Be low-key and don't make it known to the world." Chen Fenglei shouted.

After a pause, he warned: "You want to see the person alive, and you want to see the body dead. If necessary, you can kill him."

Li Baolin and Bai Ye turned around and looked at Chen Fenglei in surprise.

Zhuang Zhongbing is their person, a colleague and friend who they get along with day and night.

Just did it to him?

Chen Fenglei's eyes were slightly stern, and he asked in a deep voice: "What? Can't do it? If you can't do it, I can find someone else to do it."

"We can do it," Li Baolin gritted his teeth and said, "We can do it."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission." Bai Ye also echoed.

If they can't do it, then they won't have to work for the General Manager anymore.

Zhuang Zhongbing is their comrade-in-arms and brother

However, compared with the position under the buttocks and the future career, brotherhood is insignificant.

——

Qushui Garden.

Tang Bandi looked at the black sign in front of him, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

"It's already the age of interstellar immigration, and you still have such an old-fashioned name?" Tang Bandit couldn't help but condemned. This name has no literary accomplishment at all.

Can there be a good-looking girl in a place like this?

vulgar!

If it weren't for handling a case, he wouldn't even want to come in.

"Director, do we want to go in?" Shen Yan, captain of the second team, asked.

Tang Pi was promoted to deputy director of the Fifth Supervision Division and handed over the position of captain to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was the first person to surrender to the Tang bandits. He was usually stern, but he was quick-thinking, rigorous in his work, and loyal enough to the Tang bandits.

His choice also paid off handsomely. In just six months, he was promoted from an under-reused inspector to the first team.

With the exception of Tang Bandit, the direct leader above him, few people in the entire supervisory system can match this speed of promotion.

"Come in." Tang Bandit said righteously and walked towards the main entrance of Qushui Garden.

"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?" A girl wearing a blue gown came over, smiling and asking enthusiastically.

"Mr. Zhong makes an appointment." Tang Bandit said.

Qushui Garden is managed by a membership system, and you must have a Qushui membership to make a reservation.

Tang Bandit has never been to such a nondescript place, let alone a member.

So he ran to Zhong Jiayuan and asked him if he could think of a way to see if anyone around him could help make an appointment.

I didn’t expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to be a member himself

The world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.

The welcoming lady checked the virtual screen in her hand, with a bright smile on her face, and said: "Sir, I found your reservation information. Please follow me."

"Thank you." Tang Bandit nodded.

Pushing the heavy metal door open is like opening a new world.

Inside the gate is a huge Soviet-style garden, with pavilions, rockeries, pools and pavilions.

One step at a time, the scenery is different.

What's even more surprising is that there is a stream in the middle of the garden. The water gurgled and meandered.

Countless men and women gathered on both sides of the stream, separated by plums and bamboos, grabbing the wine floating in the stream and drinking it, laughing and drinking happily.

What is even more surprising is that everyone in the garden is wearing clothes from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The wide robe, big sleeves, and hair tied up make people feel like they are at the scene of the meandering water drinking banquet during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Tang Bandit was dumbfounded. After the great changes in Blue Star, where had he seen such a grand scene?

Rich people really know how to play!

After the welcome lady handed over, another girl in white clothes came over, made an invitation gesture, and said: "Hello, sir, I am Xiaoyu. I will be responsible for receiving you today. Now I will take you to bathe and change. Your room is room nine."

"Okay." Tang Bandit nodded.

Although he has never been here, he has to pretend to be elegant and calm like I often come to places like this.

He was worried that Shen Yan would lose his composure and show off his country bumpkin's face. He turned around and wanted to give a few words of advice, but found that Shen Yan's face was as usual, calm and composed, and he was even more experienced than those experienced drivers.

Is this kid really just pretending?

The two were taken to room nine, and soon someone brought them gowns that fit their body shapes.

After the two drank a cup of mouthwash tea, they went to the bathtub to take a bath, and then changed into the clothes they had prepared.

When in town, do as the Romans do.

After they finished taking a shower, Xiaoyu entered the room again and asked with a smile: "Sir, can you order food?"

"Order food?" Tang Bandit's expression froze. They had eaten before and were not hungry at all.

Seeing their dazed expressions, Xiaoyu knew that this was their first experience and introduced with a smile: "We just choose the girls we like to drink and play games with."

"Oh." Tang Bandit suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, the secret was revealed in one sentence. He looked at Shen Yan, who was also looking at him with a serious expression.

"You're already here, how about some dishes?" Tang Bandi looked at Shen Yan and asked.

"It's up to you." Shen Yan nodded.

Tang Bandit had said hello in advance that he was not allowed to use his official title or reveal his identity after coming in.

"Then make arrangements." Tang Bandit looked at Xiao Yu and said loudly: "We are from other places, and our friends insist on letting us experience the customs and customs here. There are many things that we don't understand very well, just take a look Just make arrangements. Let others arrange it for us."

"Okay, sir." Xiaoyu agreed and went out to work.

Tang Bandit looked at Shen Yan and said, "Don't be nervous, we will reimburse it at public expense, you don't have to pay for it yourself."

"Oh." Shen Yan was obviously relieved.

The cost in this place was not low, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford it.

After a slight pause, he asked again: "Is he here?"

"It must be there." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "Our source of information is very reliable."

"That's good, it's not a wasted trip."

"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have come to such a smoky place and humiliated our status for nothing." Tang Bandit thought deeply.

At this moment, the door of box nine was pushed open.

A group of beautiful girls in various ancient costumes lined up and walked in. Their long skirts were touching the floor, their sleeves were fluttering, they were fat and thin, and they were extremely beautiful.

Tang Bandi swallowed secretly, looked up, and found that Shen Yan's Adam's apple was also moving.

It seems that I am going to challenge my weakness tonight.
