Chapter 42 Tianlu Information Pavilion
"How is it, you're shocked." The man with dark circles turned to look at Lu Shuangyang, wanting to see the shocked expression of the young master of the Lu family.
"Oh, that's it." Unexpectedly, Lu Shuangyang acted very calmly.
This is of course. Yesterday, I saw such a huge wall opening to both sides at the Qian family auction and was shocked. I had seen such a big scene and now I was not surprised to see such a small place opening.
Seeing this, Dark Eye Circle no longer said anything and walked into the secret passage first.
"Did I have never seen the world..." Lu Shuangyang whispered and followed.
After Lu Shuangyang entered the secret passage, the wall behind slowly descended back.
Inside the secret passage is a staircase leading to the ground, and there will be a torch for lighting every ten meters on both sides of the staircase.
"Hey, brother, how long have you been here?" The stairs were long and quiet. Lu Shuangyang wanted to find some topics to explain it, and he also wanted to learn about the Lu family's intelligence organization first.
"It's almost ten years..." said the man with dark circles in a tired voice.
Lu Shuangyang was slightly shocked and said, "Ten years have been too long!"
"It's not long," the man with dark circles rubbed his eyes and yawned for a long time. "In our organization, most of the working hours are about thirty years, and some seniors work for more than seventy years." He looked calm when he said this, as if he was talking about something for granted.
But Lu Shuangyang stopped in surprise and murmured in a low voice: "I have worked here for more than seventy years... I can actually hold on to such a job for seventy years..." Lu Shuangyang believes that it is amazing to be able to do it for thirty or forty years as an intelligence staff. After all, this kind of intelligence work is very troublesome.
"It's no big deal," the man with dark circles turned around and looked at Lu Shuangyang with his tired eyes. "If I have that ability and lifespan, I want to keep working here."
Lu Shuangyang finally couldn't help it and asked, "Why, why are you willing to do this?"
The man with dark circles was silent for a few seconds, continued down the stairs, and said, "The people here all have their own stories of their past. It is precisely because of this that we think we will continue to do it here. You should not ask so much."
Lu Shuangyang was stunned for a moment, then followed with a smile: "It seems that the people in our Lu Family Intelligence Center are not simple!" If he can get help from the intelligence organization today, he should learn more about the people here in the future.
...
This staircase leading to the underground is very long, and I don’t know how long the road has been.
"I said how long will it take..."
"arrive."
"well?"
After more than twenty steps down the stairs where Lu Shuangyang is located, there is a pitch-black wooden door.
"The destination is behind this door."
As he said that, he reached out and pushed open the black door.
"Lu Family Intelligence Center, are you going to see it finally..." Lu Shuangyang also quickly followed.
"Wow!" As soon as I entered, the strong light shone Lu Shuangyang's eyes unable to open.
Although there are torches along the way on the stairs, the light is still relatively weak. After walking in the stairs for so long, Lu Shuangyang's eyes adapted to the darker environment. Suddenly, they came to an environment with strong light, and their eyes could not adapt to it for a while.
"Hey, it's okay." The man with dark circles whispered.
Lu Shuangyang reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Don't your eyes feel uncomfortable like this?"
The man with dark circles said as if nothing had happened: "It's been ten years, and I've been used to it."
Lu Shuangyang has nothing to say. Indeed, ten years are enough to change a person's body's adaptability.
Lu Shuangyang rubbed his eyes, and his eyes were finally able to look at things well.
But when he opened his eyes and saw the full picture of this intelligence center, Lu Shuangyang became mute again.
This intelligence center is really big and spectacular! The area here is ten times that of the "Tianlu Pharmacy" on the ground. I don't know how many lights have been lit on the surrounding walls, which makes the whole room...can't be called a square, it makes the entire square bright. With such a strong light, Lu Shuangyang, who just walked out of the stairs, could not adapt to it.
There was a small office desk in the entire square less than a few meters away. Each table was filled with a lot of paper. It should be the information collected from all over the place today. There was a person holding a pen in front of each table and carefully reading each piece of information. There were middle-aged people with unshaven beards and white-haired old people.
There are more than one hundred tables in total, and the information on each table is piled up like a mountain.
In addition to these people at the desk, there were nearly ten young people running around among the people who were reading the information, taking all the information on each desk after confirming it and getting it... There is a door on the other side, and the information is taken inside. What exactly does it do?
Just above the square, there are several small holes, from which small things will fall from time to time, and people working on the desk will reach out to catch the small thing before it lands and unfold it... It turned out to be a small piece of paper... and then put it on the pile of information that was not read.
"Welcome to the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion'." The man with dark circles said leisurely.
"Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion", did you copy the name of the pharmacy above? Or did you use the original name here as the name of the pharmacy?
"Oh, what's going on with those holes above, why did the information fall from above?" Lu Shuangyang asked.
"There is a pharmacy right above there. These holes connect here and the pharmacy. Some collected information will be thrown from above into the hole to get here for sorting."
"So what's behind this door?" Lu Shuangyang pointed at the door where the young man was running around, "Why do you have to get all the information inside?"
“It is where senior staff of the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion' work.”
"Senior staff?"
"The information compiled by the people here must be sent to the high-level personnel for secondary confirmation. Only those who have confirmed the information will be sent to the head of the Lu family using another exit."
"Is it so troublesome?" Lu Shuangyang scratched his head.
"Let's go, come here and go to the studio of the senior staff with me." The man with dark circles said as he walked.
"well?"
"You are not the head of the family, but you are holding the transfer token from our intelligence cabinet. It is normal for senior officials to see you." The man with dark circles explained.
"Well, it's normal." Lu Shuangyang smiled and followed.
As we walked along the way, whether it was middle-aged or elderly people working at desks or young people running around, we worked intently and ignored Lu Shuangyang's face.
"Dongdong!"
Dark circles knocked on the door gently and said, "I brought someone."
"Come in!" An old voice sounded from inside.
“Cruff!”
The door was pushed open, and the man with dark circles and Lu Shuangyang walked in.
There were a total of ten office chairs that were the same as those outside, but only nine tables were seated in front of them, and each one was a gray-haired old man. Except for the table where no one sat in front of them, there was a pile of information on the other tables.
The nine old men ignored the two people coming in and all lowered their heads and were busy looking at the information.
"Hey..." Before Lu Shuangyang could scream, the man with dark circles raised his hand to signal not to speak.
Seeing this, Lu Shuangyang shut up obediently.
After a while, an old man put a piece of information aside, stretched his body, and then slowly stood up.
He looked at Lu Shuangyang and the man with dark circles who had been standing aside for a while, and said gently: "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. You go out first." His first sentence was said to Lu Shuangyang, and the next sentence was said to the man with dark circles.
The man with dark circles nodded slightly, pushed open the door and walked out.
"Hello, for the first time I met, I am the second elder of the ten elders of the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion'." As he said that, he stretched out his wrinkled hand.
"I am Lu Shuangyang, you should have heard of me." Lu Shuangyang also stretched out his hand to hold the wrinkled hand.
"Hahaha!" The second elder smiled, "In the Eastern Region, how many people have not heard of the name of the young master who has passed by?"
Lu Shuangyang also smiled, and at the same time, he looked at the old people working behind curiously and asked, "Including you, there are only nine elders here? You just said ten..."
"Hahaha!" The second elder smiled again, but it was not difficult to hear a hint of helplessness in the laughter this time. "Our great elder has a special identity and likes to wander around, and even the head of the family is embarrassed to say about him."
Lu Shuangyang did not ask anything, but wrote down in his heart what kind of person is the person whom his father, Lu Hen, was embarrassed to say? Lu Shuangyang was really curious.
"Can you show me the token you brought?" The second elder put away his smile and showed a serious expression.
Lu Shuangyang was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him would change so quickly, but he still took out the token and handed it over.
The second elder took the token, looked at it carefully for a while, and said seriously: "That's right, this is the token of the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion'."
"What! Pavilion Master Token?" Lu Shuangyang said in surprise.
"Didn't your father tell you? Although the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion' is working for the Lu family, it is also a relatively independent existence. Every head of the Lu family is the head of the here. However, if you want to become the head of the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion', you must complete the test given by our elders." The second elder looked at Lu Shuangyang very seriously, "You are not the head of the Lu family."
Lu Shuangyang nodded, which was an undeniable fact: "But now the Lu family is in a very nervous state and my father is very busy, so I have to do something. Although I am not the head of the Lu family now, sooner or later, I can become the head of the 'Tianlu Intelligence Pavilion' first."
"I heard from your tone, it seems that even if you accept the test now, will you pass?" The second elder looked at Lu Shuangyang.
Chapter completed!
