Xu Boqing stopped in front of the door of the second uncle's house for a long time, and only after taking a deep breath of relief did he suppress the uneasiness and confusion in his heart.

Just as he was about to go to the surrounding area to inquire about the situation, a strong male voice suddenly sounded not far behind him: "If I'm not mistaken, your name is Xu Boqing, Lao Xu's nephew?" ”

Xu Boqing turned around and saw a team of soldiers from the inspection department coming over unhurriedly.

The middle-aged man led by him was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought that this person's name was Zhou Yong, and he and his second uncle Xu He were both on duty in the inspection department, and they had a good relationship.

When I visited relatives, I often saw this person drinking with his second uncle, which is also very familiar.

He cautiously asked, "Are you Uncle Zhou?" ”

Zhou Yong nodded with a grin and said, "It's me." ”

Xu Boqing saw that although he brought people around him, his attitude was quite kind, so he asked meaningfully: "Uncle Zhou, what did my second uncle do?" Why is the house sealed? ”

"Alas......"

Zhou Yong sighed, glanced around, and saw that they were all familiar colleagues before leaning over and whispering: "A week ago, several assassins infiltrated the imperial city and wanted to assassinate His Majesty, of course, it was definitely impossible to succeed.

After the assassin failed to assassinate, he fled, and His Majesty Long Yan was furious, not only the inspection of the internal imperial city was affected, but even the inspection of our external capital was also implicated.

All the inspections on duty that day, dragged their families with them, and all of them were imprisoned in prisons, as long as they were immediate family members, they had to be taken to investigate.

Lao Xu was one of the inspections that day, and I was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe when I took turns off that day. ”

“……”

Xu Boqing suddenly thought of something, and looked at the people from the inspection department around him with an inexplicable expression.

The corners of his mouth twitched and asked, "Uncle Zhou, then you are here to take me to investigate!?" ”

Zhou Yong didn't deny it, and nodded with a sigh: "Yes..."

“……”

When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.

Xu Boqing thought of the poem he said to the old man yesterday, and now the second half of this verse is applied to himself, isn't it appropriate?

Zhou Yong whispered: "This matter is now in charge of Gonggong Li of the East Factory, and our inspection department can't intervene."

As long as the road is leading, if there is a connection on the document, you have to take it to investigate, but this matter can be big or small, and Gonggong Li is rich, you know what I mean, right? ”

Airborne East Factory eunuchs are responsible for...

Can't get in with the inspection department?

I'm afraid it's not that I can't intervene, but I want to share the spoils together, right!?

Xu Boqing's cheeks twitched, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he said: "My family is in trouble, my father risked his life to send me out of the city, and let me come to the capital to join my second uncle."

I never thought that on the way, I encountered a strongman robbing the road, and all the accompanying family members died, and the money was also robbed, if I hadn't faked my death and escaped, I wouldn't have survived Kyoto. ”

He paused, took out the only five taels of silver left on his body, and said with a crying smile: "I only have five taels of silver on my body now, dare to ask Uncle Zhou, can you buy my freedom with these five taels of silver?" ”

Zhou Yong silently...

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the spy agencies of the main beam, and the intelligence system is extremely comprehensive, and the airborne Li Gonggong is here to take the opportunity to make money...

Some people handed over the road guide and entered the city, but in fact, some people have been targeted.

And they're all watching people cook.

When you meet a rich man, don't say five taels of broken silver, even fifty taels or five hundred taels may not be able to redeem yourself!!

If the other party is Xu He, or even Xu He's son Xu Da, Zhou Yong will find a way to help him make up money to 'redeem himself', but the other party is just the nephew of his friend Xu He...

I haven't seen each other at all.

He also has a family to support, and it is impossible for him to scrape together that sum of money for a friend and nephew who has never met a few times.

Xu Boqing also knew that Zhou Yong could say these words to himself, which was already the limit of his identity as Xu and his nephew, and he never thought of letting the other party take risks to save him.

So he arched his hand and said: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry too much, just how to come, the little nephew can still bear it..."

Zhou Yong's face moved slightly, and finally he just sighed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I will help you intercede..."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Xu Boqing saw that no one was pressing him, and he didn't want to escape, but just honestly followed them to the Yanei of the Inspection Division.

After all, people want to be decent, and if they are not sensible, others will also help them be decent.

After arriving at the inspection department, Zhou Yong and his party bowed down and retired, and another group of people took over, and they took Xu Boqing straight to the dungeon regardless of the question.

At this time, in the dungeon of the Inspection Division...

A middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beard, a lean body, dressed in a bullfighting suit, sat on the main seat, holding an orchid in his hand and tasting tea.

There are also several officials dressed in the uniforms of the inspection department accompanying them, and a few people are talking and laughing, relaxed and comfortable.

And inside the dark dungeon, from time to time you can hear the sound of whipping and screaming...

After a while, someone from the inspection department came down to ventilate, and Sun Sheng, who was sitting below, waved his hand after hearing the news, signaled to bring someone here, and then smiled and handed it over...

"Li Dutou, brought another person, this person's name is Xu Boqing, is the nephew of Xu He, the head of the inspection department, his ancestral home is Jianyang, his father is called Xu Zhong, and his family runs several rice shops, which is a rare solid family in the local area."

"Oh?"

Gonggong Li, who was sitting in the first place, was shocked, glanced at him with raised eyebrows, and said: "It is said that Jianyang was attacked by bandits two days ago, and this Xu family is a local rich family, and there are still people left. ”

Sun Sheng's face shook, and a layer of fine cold sweat overflowed from his forehead.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both Daliang spy agencies and have the authority to supervise hundreds of officials.

The previous emperors of Daliang forgot their ancestral teachings and began to reuse eunuchs, which has been passed down to this day, and the authority in the hands of Dongchang, a spy agency composed of eunuchs, is much greater than that of Jinyiwei.

Not to mention the inspection department, which is a department under Jinyiwei.

Gonggong Li didn't care about him either, and said, "Bring it here." ”

"Yes."

Xu Boqing was taken to the dungeon, and when he saw the lean eunuch sitting in the first place sipping tea, and the fat-headed and big-eared officials of the Inspection Department on both sides were carefully accompanied, he also sneered in his heart.

This beam is really rotten to the bone, the dog emperor won't talk about it, it's a raccoon dog from top to bottom...

Thinking about it, he was not stupid enough to pretend to be hard in front of these people, so he bowed down with a little trepidation on his face.

"Xu Boqing, a grass man, has seen a few adults."

"Xu... Uncle... Clear. ”

Gonggong Li took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said in a weird manner: "Yes, it is a good skin, but this small body does not know how many whips it can take." ”

Sun Sheng stood up, helped him up with a smile, and said: "My name is Sun Sheng, and I am your second uncle's direct boss. ”

One of the two sang with a white face and the other with a red face, coupled with the screams from time to time from the depths of the dungeon, the defense line in the hearts of ordinary people was easily opened.

Xu Boqing's face was bitter, he pretended to be flattered and nodded, and responded: "It's the grass people." ”

"You should also know about Lao Xu's matter, it is the will of His Majesty, and we are just acting according to the order."

"The grass people know."

"Do you know about the 'redemption'?"

"I know..."

"That's going to be easy."

Sun Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty's dragon body is frightened, and Gonggong Li wants to find a convulsive medicine for Your Majesty."

However, today's medicinal materials are too expensive...

I had no choice but to let everyone raise funds.

On the day when the medicine is completed, maybe Your Majesty will be happy, and you will not blame the past, and your second uncle will be released because of this. ”

His voice paused, and then he said meaningfully: "I heard that the Xu family in Jianyang is a well-known local family, and the capital for this 'redemption' is set at three thousand taels, how about it?" ”

Three thousand taels ??

Rao is Xu Boqing's big heart that has seen the snake demon was also taken aback by this number, the Xu family operates several rice shops in Jianyang, and the net profit is more than 1,000 taels a year.

He opened his mouth to give 3,000 taels of 'redemption' funds, which is 'redemption', it is clearly to kill people as pigs!
