Volume 2 Song of the Dynasty Chapter 23 It seems to be a noble concubine

ps1: There is no testimonials on the shelves, and I don't deserve to say that I hit the street (tears), so the next chapter is still a day!!

Who is Xu Youzhen, the current supervisor of the East Factory, the eunuch Bingbi who is in charge of tens of thousands of officials of the East Factory.

Since the time of his yellow mouth, he has entered the palace, and step by step from the little eunuch who didn't know anything to the current position. Over the decades, he has experienced no less than ordinary people, and what he has done is anything but simple. After all, it was not a simple matter to get control of the East Factory from the hands of Wang Zhi, the former factory governor.

Over the years, Xu Youzhen has controlled Dongchang, and has disposed of countless people before and after, including six Shangshu and foreign officials, many of whom have bullied him, and there are also people who have made enemies with him. With the help of Dongchang's strength, he fulfilled his youthful wish and made countless people fear him. Xu Youzhen knows what he is like in the hearts of Hao people, but he does not regret it, the desire for power makes him enjoy this feeling incomparably, every time he hears the screams of those officials in the Dongchang prison, there will be a pleasure that is difficult to hide, and the smell of blood will make him inexplicably excited.

Sickly, indeed sickly. Only such a person would choose to build a garden, such a site, on the edge of the prison. It's also when eating, enjoy yourself slowly. Such people are undoubtedly dangerous, because they are madmen, madmen with no bottom line. Xu Youzhen is even better, he is still a madman with brains.

He understood where he was and what other people thought of him, but he was not afraid, because the emperor needed Dongchang, and of course, Dongchang also needed the emperor. It is precisely because of the mutual needs of the two that Xu Youzhen has no fear.

The procuratorate is indeed powerful, but compared with Dongchang, these rootless people can do more. For example, these people have no weakness, and the emperor can use them without hesitation. It is precisely because they have no roots and no descendants that they only have the emperor in their eyes, and no matter how the times change, as long as the emperor is still the emperor, loyalty will not change.

No matter how good the women outside are, they can still use it for themselves.

It is precisely because of the emperor's support that for so many years, Dongchang has been so powerful, and the emergence of Rao is procuratorate can only sit on an equal footing with it, and cannot be replaced. It is precisely because of so many years that there have been fewer and fewer people who can sit and talk with Xu Youzhen like Li Xiao, and there are even fewer people who can talk like Li Xiao.

There is no doubt that Li Xiao's behavior is looking for death. The reason why Xu Youzhen was able to allow Li Xiao to sit down was because the emperor in the palace gave the emperor face, but this did not allow Li Xiao to act recklessly.

The Wencheng Street incident did have the shadow of Dongchang, which is something that most people know, but no one raised it, let alone asked this question in front of Xu Youzhen. Not to mention whether Dongchang was involved in the Wencheng Street incident, even if there were, it was not Li Xiao who came to ask, but His Majesty the Emperor in the palace.

Li Xiao's behavior is not a transgression, but a search for death.

"Bold, dare to be so presumptuous in front of grandpa!" Xu Shengliang on the side seemed to see a trace of ruthlessness flashing in Xu Youzhen's eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand Li Xiao.

Xu Shengliang's performance obviously made Xu Youzhen very satisfied, his gloomy face eased a lot, he waved his hand, motioned for the former to step back, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Li Gongzi is a young man, and it is when he is young and vigorous, it is understandable to speak like this." ”

Xu Shengliang retreated to his original position, and when he saw that Xu Youzhen was not angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He and Li Xiao had only met once on Wencheng Street, and Li Xiao was still in a coma at that time, so he helped each other at this time, but he didn't want the person he had just saved to die in front of him.

"Thank you for your understanding." Li Xiao said with a smile. The situation just now was indeed a little anxious, and he naturally saw the fierceness in Xu Youzhen's eyes, and at that moment, there was a feeling of being stared at by a fierce beast, which made his hair stand on end, and he slightly regretted the question he asked at the beginning.

is only a slight regret, this question must be asked, there are too many elements of the Middle East factory in the Wencheng Street incident, which is really suspicious. So he came to Dongchang, faced this old monster, and asked directly, there is no need to beat around the bush and knock on the side, Xu Youzhen has been sitting in this position for more than ten years, if he beats around the bush, I am afraid that he will lose his patience. In this way, it is better to be straightforward, and there is no need for tea to warm up, nor to add oil and vinegar.

Li Xiao continued: "But Li Xiao is still that problem, I hope Governor Xu will tell me." ”

No matter how Xu Youzhen reacts, he still has to ask, if it is related, then if it is offended, it will be offended, if it is not related, he has his own tricks, after all, he has gained a lot in Wencheng Street today.

Obviously, Li Xiao's words made Xu Youzhen very unhappy. I don't care anymore, but who knows that this person still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, is it really when he is old and has no temper. His face was cold, his eyes were staring at the young man opposite, and he said word by word: "Wencheng Street was once under the control of Dongchang, if the assassination is really related to Dongchang, Li Xiaogongzi thinks, can you still talk to our family like this now?" ”

It does make sense, Wencheng Street is controlled by Dongchang, if Dongchang is related to assassination, then how can Li Xiao survive the assassination, even if he survives the assassination, then Dongchang will not allow the person they want to kill to jump like this in Jingshi. Of course, if Dongchang wants to kill someone, it will not be so troublesome, if Li Xiao is killed, there are thousands of ways, and he will never choose to assassinate such a way that the gains outweigh the losses.

But in Li Xiao's eyes, it may be that Dongchang is not related to the Wencheng Street incident, but so many clues point to Dongchang, even if it is really unrelated, you have to ask in person. However, Xu Youzhen said this, and it was not good for him to continue to ask, if he continued to get to the bottom of it, it would really be no different from looking for death.

Smiling, he said, "Since the factory governor said so, then it should be considered irrelevant." However, Li Xiao has a second question, and he hopes that the factory governor will inform him one or two. ”

Xu Youzhen began to dislike the young man opposite, although this person was good-looking, but since the young man entered the East Factory, he was very dissatisfied, the questions he asked were very boring, and what he did was even more presumptuous. It's just that the position of the teenager is very special now. The emperor paid attention, and the procuratorate was also staring, if Li Xiao had an accident in Dongchang, the result would never be beneficial to Dongchang. To put him in prison for killing such a nobody, this deal is not worth it.

He snorted lightly and said coldly, "I hope Childe doesn't waste any more time." ”

Li Xiao smiled faintly, slowly took out the porcelain bottle filled with incense from his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen was puzzled for a moment, pinched the handkerchief and opened the porcelain bottle. In an instant, a faint fragrance permeated, but after a while, it spread to every corner of Huating.

It's just that the fragrance is faint, Li Xiao casually resisted it with his true qi, and there was no dizziness, but Xu Shengliang, who was standing on the side, suddenly felt dizzy and staggered two steps, but fortunately, Xu Youzhen made a move and didn't fall.

"Where did this come from?" Xu Youzhen frowned and asked.

This fan perfume is from the hands of the East Factory. However, it is generally well stored, and if there are no special circumstances, it will not flow out, and at this time, Li Xiao took it out, which really surprised him for a while.

Li Xiao picked up the wine glass, saw that there was no wine in it, reluctantly put it down, and said: "Today I found it in a dilapidated house on Wencheng Street, I took a little casually, thinking that Wencheng Street was related to Dongchang, so I came to ask." ”

This is the main reason why he is coming to Dongchang today. After all, this incense was very important to him, and he needed to know who sent the female assassin that night in Suzhou. He didn't want such a thing to happen in Chu Mansion again.

Covering the porcelain vase, Xu Youzhen lowered her head slightly and thought. The incense that appeared on Wencheng Street was not unexpected, it should have been left by Ni Songhan, who had asked for some and did not deal with it when he left. The main reason is that these days, the procuratorate has been keeping a close eye on it, and it really has no chance to deal with Wencheng Street, and gradually forgot about it, so he was bumped into by Li Xiao today.

It is estimated that this is the main reason why Li Xiao came to the East Factory. This thing appears in a large number of Wencheng Street, if you have a heart, you can casually cover the Dongchang hat, and there will be some trouble at that time. I just don't know what he meant by taking it out.

"Li Gongzi, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Xu Youzhen said.

Li Xiao moved his legs, which were a little numb, and said, "I don't know the factory governor, you can pass this incense to others, or you have sent someone out to use it, such as a woman." ”

Xu Youzhen didn't understand what Li Xiao meant, this incense was unique to Dongchang, and it was generally used by people in Dongchang, and it was rarely passed on, unless those nobles wanted to use it.

"What does Gongzi Li mean, don't you think there are women in the East Factory?"

"Of course not."

Since Dongchang is Dongchang, there will be no women, even if it is the family of those criminals, they will not be sent to Dongchang, but will be sent to other places, such as the Department of Teaching Workshops.

Li Xiao continued: "When Li Xiao was still in Suzhou, a female assassin infiltrated the mansion and used incense in the mansion with bad intentions. What is used is the incense of your factory. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the porcelain vase on the table and continued: "When we meet again today, it is inevitable that we will be confused, so I have come to ask who sent the female assassin that day. ”

I see, Xu Youzhen understands Li Xiao's intention to come today.

It's not that Xingshi asks for sin, and it's not that there's nothing to look for death. The display of the incense is not to rely on this thing to blackmail. It's just to ask who sent the female assassins in Suzhou.

Since the incense comes from the East Factory, the person who uses it can naturally know a thing or two. Li Xiao's whereabouts in Dongchang are recorded, and it can be basically confirmed on the day that the Suzhou assassin appeared, the Jingshi is thousands of miles away from Suzhou, and the day is calculated, and the loan of the incense should be two months ago.

Don't look over your head and ask, "Xiao Liangzi, do you know who borrowed it two months ago?" ”

Xu Shengliang pondered for a moment, recalled the dossier, and after about thirty breaths, he raised his head and replied:

"It seems to be a concubine."
