Kong Qing was half-squatting, and in front of him he was kneeling down a woman dressed in jewels but with a frightened face.

At this time, he pinched the chin of a woman in his hand and asked sharply: "Lao Tzu will ask you one last time, where is Li Lezhi's stolen money hidden!?" ”

"Your Excellency... Concubine... The concubine really doesn't know..."

"You're his wife, wouldn't you know?"

“……”

"Okay! I'll see how long you can get your mouth hard! ”

Kong Qing sneered and stood up, then copied the whip on the side, and slashed at the woman, the cry and begging for mercy also came from this...

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned when he saw this, and he also knew that he had thought of it.

The subordinates are strong, but not completely...

And Kong Qing saw the overseer coming, his hand was also stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly threw away the whip in his hand, bowed and saluted: "I have seen the overseer!" ”

"What's going on?"

"Lord Overseer..."

Kong Qing explained: "When the lowly people were ordered to raid their homes, they found that although there were many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but there was very little cash and silver, they concluded that there must be a dark room in this mansion...

And this woman is Li Lezhi's wife...

When asked, she refused to say where the dark room was, and she lynched her in a fit of rage..."

“……”

Xu Boqing bowed his head slightly and said, "Isn't Li Lezhi still hanging in the city?" Send someone to ask, and if it doesn't work, give him some hardship. ”

"Uh......"

The corners of Kong Qing's mouth twitched, and he said cautiously: "I sent someone over to ask about my humble position just now, Li Lezhi's guy was hit on the head with a stone by the people just now, and he just took his breath..."

His voice paused, and he hurriedly added: "If you don't do your job effectively, please punish the superintendent." ”

“……”

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, when he entered the city, he saw someone throwing eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and stones, and wondering if he would stone people to death...

It turned out that it was only a long time, and he was really dead...

Li Lezhi's wife cried with tears in her eyes: "My lord, the money in the family has always been supervised by the lord himself, although the concubine is his wife, I really don't know where the dark room is, and I hope the adults will check it out..."

Her head was stumbling on her head, and there were still a few blood marks from the whip on her body.

Suddenly, she kowtowed, as if she thought of something, and hurriedly said, "My lord, study!" Darkroom... The darkroom may be in the master's study!! ”

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing was surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say that you don't know where the dark room is?" How did you remember it again? ”

"I thought of it, I thought of it!!"

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, the woman hurriedly said, "Old... The master is often alone in the study, and he doesn't let anyone else approach, so the dark room must be in the study!! ”

"Alright, alright..."

When Xu Boqing saw her appearance, he also knew that she was not lying, so he waved his hand and said, "Take people down." ”

Seeing that the woman was dragged away, several governors of the West Factory gathered in Li Lezhi's study to search for the dark room, and he was idle, so he also followed...

Although Li Lezhi is greedy, he is not stupid, and he also knows that the study is the façade of the dark room, so he decorates the study in a decent way...

The study is full of ink, the walls are framed with famous calligraphy and paintings, and there are all kinds of ancient books on the shelves.

Seeing the hard work of his subordinates, Xu Boqing shook his head, took up the 'Heavenly Eye Law Eye' and glanced around, and casually pointed to the bookshelf in the southwest corner and said, "The dark room is behind the bookshelf in the southwest corner. ”

“……”

The governors were slightly stunned, although they didn't know how the overseer decided, but they were also very obedient and didn't ask too much, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the bookshelf that the overseer was referring to.

A few people didn't figure out where the mechanism was, but they were all good at the acquired realm, and they had a lot of strength, so they directly overturned the problematic bookshelf...

Then they made a hole together, revealing the dark room compartment hidden behind the bookshelf...

A few people looked at each other and then leaned in, almost dazzled by the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and the small box on the side was stuffed with this thick stack of silver tickets, land deeds...

A few people carefully moved it out of the dark room, and called the gentleman and the accountant to settle the value.

Xu Boqing is not interested in the dark room, nor is he interested in the pile of gold and silver, but he is more interested in the books on the shelves! …

Because just now when he was using the 'Heavenly Eye' to find the dark room, he accidentally found a strange book!

The book just looks a little quaint and not very special, but it is placed on the same shelf, and the other books have dust on them, but it does not get any dust.

And it's not that ordinary clean, under the observation of the Heavenly Eye, it seems as if the dust in the air has avoided the book on its own...

Dust-free, clean and somewhat abnormal.

A perfect interpretation of the meaning of 'spotless'.

He stepped forward and carefully removed the book...

The texture of the book is extremely heavy, and the simple book cover has the words "Qi Ben Theory", and the name of the inscription is Zhang Taixu.

Qi ontology? Zhang Taixu?

Xu Boqing frowned slightly, the name Zhang Taixu was faintly familiar, the original owner must have heard of it when he went to school, it should be a celebrity in this world, but it will be difficult for him to remember everything for a while;

It's this "Theory of Qi"...

It has a feeling of cultivation.

While others were counting the money, he found a chair and sat down, and looked through the ancient books in his hand with great interest.

But after a cursory glance, his brows furrowed...

This Zhang Taixu is not a monk, but a deceased Confucian, whose birth and death years are not similar to those of this dynasty;

And his "Theory of the Essence of Qi" is not a method of cultivation, but an exposition of the origin of the world and the universe...

More philosophical or scientific...

At that time, people's minds were not yet opened, and their macroscopic understanding of the world and the universe was extremely limited, and it could even be said that it was almost zero.

In Zhang Taixu's "Theory of Qi", what is expounded is that the origin of all things is attributed to 'qi'...

Too void is qi, and it vaporizes all things.

The essence of the universe, the foundation of all things, is qi...

All things are derived from 'qi', and all things in various forms are different manifestations of 'qi'.

It contains the opposing dependence of yin and yang, the opposite of each other, the relationship of rising and falling, and the interactive movement of this relationship produces people and all things, etc......

The various contents of the "Theory of Qi" are tantamount to waste paper for ordinary people who have not yet opened their wisdom, even if they see the head broken, it is difficult to understand the true meaning...

But for Xu Boqing, who has the memory of two lives, some of the ideas in the book coincide with his cognition!

The description in the book is more like a book from heaven, as if every word appears in the brain, which can be described as a pearl of words and a miracle!

Look at his hairs standing on end, sweating profusely!!

I don't know how long it took, but he came back to his senses as his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and saw that several palm-eyed gentlemen and accountants in the room had finished counting the value of the property in the dark room and were about to go to other places to count them, and their eyes couldn't help but light up...

"Gentlemen, please stay!"

“……”

Several old men over half a hundred years old were frightened when they heard this, and when they came, the people of the West Factory reminded the Overseer that he was on the side, and he must be careful.

They also knew that if they annoyed the overseer, they were afraid that it would not be enough for them to explain to their children, so they were careful when counting the value of their belongings, for fear of upsetting the overseer.

I finally finished the inventory, and I was relieved to leave.

But he saw the overseer open his mouth to keep people......

They thought that something had gone wrong when they were counting their belongings, and when they turned around, they fell to their knees tremblingly.

"When the grass people knock on the overseer, the grass people have no complaints whether they are dead or alive, and they only ask the overseer to spare the lives of the old and young in the grass people's family..."

“……”

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and said with relief: "I just have something to consult a few gentlemen, and I hope that a few gentlemen don't worry too much." ”

"The grass people don't dare..."

Several old men shook their heads again and again, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Boqing handed the "Theory of Qi" in his hand to them and asked, "Please ask a few gentlemen to help me palm my eyes and see which dynasty and generation this book comes from, and who this Taixu is." ”

“……”
