Chapter 160: Emperor Yonghe retreats
After Zhou Guifei leaves...
Xu Boqing quietly went to the queen mother's bedroom, and saw that the beautiful woman was tidying up the phoenix, he walked over silently, stopped his waist and picked up the beauty, and provoked a few coquettish voices.
"You ......"
Empress Dowager Chen wrapped a pair of pink arms around his neck, glanced at him and said coquettishly: "You thief will make a fool of the mourning family." ”
"Does the lady like it?"
Xu Boqing sat on the phoenix, put the beautiful woman he was holding on his lap, buried his face in his pink neck and took a deep breath, "Xiang~"
"You ......"
Empress Dowager Chen recalled the feeling of soaking in the hot spring just now, and her heart trembled...
The crimson that had just dissipated on her cheeks resurfaced, and she whispered a warning, "You... You have a hard day's work, have a good rest, but don't make any more trouble. ”
"Well, rest~"
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, the yin and yang in his body were unbalanced, and he really needed to recuperate, so he took off his clothes and hugged the beautiful woman in his arms into the phoenix collapse to rest...
The two of them rubbed their ears and temples for a while, and the Queen Mother seemed to think of something, and asked, "Then Zhu Wenjing annoyed you at the banquet?" ”
"Zhu Wenjing can't annoy me yet..."
Xu Boqing said disapprerovingly: "As far as I am concerned, his little bit of caution is like a child's house, and I don't pay attention to it." ”
"Then how did you Zhou Guifei say that you left the table angrily in annoyance?"
"I'm not annoyed, it's not because Zhu Wenjing left the table, but because of a little demon in Zhu Wenjing's mansion."
"Demon?"
Empress Dowager Chen was slightly stunned, and subconsciously made up the image of a demon with a blue face and fangs, and asked with a face full of disbelief after coming back to her senses: "Is there really a demon in this world?" ”
"Yes~"
"Tell the mourning family about it~"
Xu Boqing pondered for a while, and recounted the encounter with the cat demon at the banquet, to the departure of the seat to catch the demon, and then to the collection of apprentices Miaojing.
Those who can talk about places are like telling stories, and places that can't be told like Liu Cheng'e are brought by the way.
When Empress Dowager Chen heard that the kitten demon of the heterochromatic boy worshipped Xu Boqing as her teacher, she couldn't help but have a smile of relief on her cheeks; When he heard that there were some other monsters hidden in the capital, he was a little worried.
"The mourning family thought that the monsters were all hideous with green faces and fangs, but they never thought that there were such cute monsters as kittens in the world."
After that, she seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, the emperor is out of the palace today, which is rare, and I can't say that I will go to the court tomorrow or in the next few days." ”
"If you go to court, you will go to court..."
Xu Boqing smiled disappreciatively...
For Da Liang, except for Cining Palace, he has no sense of belonging; For the emperor of Daliang, there is no awe at all;
"What do you say now, you are also the Overseer of the West Factory."
Empress Dowager Chen rubbed his cheek and said softly: "If the emperor goes to the court, you, as a courtier, have to go to the court." ”
"Hmm~ Let's go to bed first."
……………
In the days that followed...
At the strong request of the Queen Mother...
Xu Boqing did not go out in the palace.
I read books during the day, and in my spare time, I went to the West Factory to supervise the practice of the Duan brothers' "Yiqi Jue"...
I thought that if Emperor Yonghe went to the court, it would be okay for him, the overseer of the West Factory, to show his face at the court...
But he clearly overestimated Emperor Yonghe.
This guy only went to King Jing's Mansion to see his grandson for a banquet after returning to the palace, and after returning to the palace, he continued to throw all the things in the court to his henchmen to deal with, not only did he not mean to go to the court, but announced that he would 'retreat' and practice for half a year, and no one would see him...
And the hanging hearts of the courtiers also fell again.
It's still time to eat, it's time to drink...
The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly and didn't say anything.
And after Xu Boqing touched the black ball kneaded by the little ghost in his pocket, he also remembered the thief who was thrown into the prison a few days ago.
He is still a little interested in those gods and goddesses who run the rivers and lakes.
More precisely, interested in the stuff...
So he took the time to leave the palace and go around the prison.
Prison Secretary Hu had already received the news and came out, bowed and saluted: "I have seen the Overseer in my humble position. ”
"No need to be polite."
Xu Boqing waved his hand with a strange expression...
A few days ago, when I came to the prison with the thief, it was already dark, but I didn't pay much attention to it, but today I found that Hu Prison Si had a dark circle under his eyes and his face was a little haggard.
"Overseer, please~"
Prison Secretary Hu led him to the prison secretary's house, and said with a smile as he walked: "A few days before the humble post, I just sent someone to buy a few jars of thirty-year-old wine, which is extremely mellow, and I also asked the overseer to taste one or two." ”
"I have to taste it~"
After Xu Boqing arrived at the prison priest's house and sat down, he saw that a few snacks and snacks had been prepared, so he asked in a teasing tone, "Does Prison Secretary Hu know that I will come today?" ”
"I don't know."
Hu Prison Si hurriedly shook his head, untied the mud seal on the wine jar, and explained while pouring wine: "The overseer said a few days ago that he was coming, so he naturally had to prepare the wine and food properly. ”
He paused in his voice and said implicitly, "So that when the Overseer comes, there is no need to wait; If the overseer doesn't come, he can have a good meal. ”
"Hahaha, I have a heart."
Although Xu Boqing smiled on his face, he secretly sighed that the bureaucratic system is nothing more than this, sometimes the people above just say a casual sentence, and the people below have to figure it out for a long time.
He took a sip of the wine cup, and then asked, "I don't look very good at Hu Prison Si, but what happened to me recently?" ”
"There is the concern of the Lord of the Governor."
Hearing this, Prison Secretary Hu didn't know what to think, sighed and said cautiously: "In the past few months, there have been many strange things in this prison.
There are many strange people, and there will be a lot of chaos, some things are fine, but some things are tight, and the lowly and timid people are small, and they can't sleep well at night. ”
"Oh?"
Xu Boqing let out a suspicious sound, and scanned it with the eyes of the Heavenly Eye, and saw that in addition to some yin qi, Hu Prison Si's body was not contaminated with demonic and demonic qi or anything like that.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
There are not a few people who have died unjustly in the prison, especially when they are in prison, the environment is harsh and they do not see the light of day, and it is common to accumulate some yin qi.
Mo who served in the prison said that he was the prison director, and that the older jailers and prisoners would be more or less contaminated.
He took a sip of his wine and asked, "What is the matter of the evil sect that even a prison director like you, who has served in the Heavenly Prison for twenty years, is frightened?" ”
"It's good to be in the prison for 20 years, but in the past, the people who were imprisoned were ordinary people."
Hu Prison Si also knew that the Lord Xu in front of him was kind and had some friendship with him, as if he had found someone to complain.
He groaned for a while, and said with a bitter face: "But those who have been locked in recently are not ordinary people, some of them fold a paper figure, and the paper figure seems to be a living person, and he runs away on two small legs."
Some of them disliked the food in the prison, and when the jailer heard the movement and looked for it, the man was lying on the prisoner in the same cell and drinking human blood, cannibalism...
There are also those who were obviously dragged to the vegetable market and beheaded, but after a few days, they were arrested again, which can be described as strange things, and they are also terrified to look at their humble duties. ”
“……”
Xu Boqing bowed slightly.
Thinking that his cultivation can be regarded as cultivated in this prison, it can be regarded as a lot of cause and effect, so he should help it.
"It is true that there are some alchemists in this world who will use small tricks to confuse people's minds, but they are not unsolvable."
His voice paused, and after a moment's thought, he smiled: "Do you have any vintage mahogany, jujube, or sandalwood or other wood?" ”
"Vintage peach, jujube, and sandalwood."
Hu Prison Si frowned and muttered, and then asked incomprehensibly: "I would like to ask you what the governor wants to do with these woods?" ”
"Aren't you so frightened that you can't even sleep?"
Xu Boqing smiled slightly and explained: "These three types of wood grow slowly, but they are extremely yang, and they can be used to ward off disasters and evil spirits. ”
At the end, he added: "Especially after the lightning strike, the effect is even worse, take this wood, I will help you settle down!" ”
"Ah, this ......"
Hu Prison Division's face was overjoyed when he heard this...
He knew how profound the skill of the master Xu Du in front of him was, and he could turn the great master of the innate realm of martial arts into a lifelong cultivation, and it was not an exaggeration to say 'merit to creation'.
Wouldn't such a big man want to help him 'settle his mind', isn't it a blessing from cultivation?
"How?"
Xu Boqing saw that he was still in a daze, and after taking a sip of wine, he quipped, "Do you need my help?" Still won't let me help? ”
"Yes! 10,000 willing!
”
Hu Prison Division's excited cheeks were a little red, and he hurriedly got up and made a big salute, saying: "The status of the lowly is humble, the overseer is willing to help, and the lowly duty is remembered!" ”
"Is there any wood?"
"Yes, yes, yes!
”
Hu Prison Si seemed to have thought of something, and said with a bright eye: "In the family of a cousin, there was a hundred-year-old jujube tree that has been passed down for generations!"
When he was young, the jujube tree was thick and thick.
Although the trunk of the tree has been bald, it still bears fruit every year, and it is very fruitful, but more than ten years ago it was struck by lightning on a thunderstorm, and the jujube tree even broke the main trunk.
The elders of the cousin's family were distressed for a while, and later used the remaining half of the trunk to build a eucalyptus table.
According to the humble cousin, the surface of the eucalyptus table is delicate and smooth, moist and halo, and it will also exude a surging fragrance of jujube wood.
Some time ago, I went to my cousin's house and found that the eucalyptus table was still there, and there was no insect bite and ant eater, so I don't know if it meets the requirements of the governor. ”
"More than 100 years of lightning strikes jujube wood."
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, and explained: "If your cousin's house is not far from here, you can take the eucalyptus table for me to see." ”
"Not far, not far! The cousin's house is in the capital, and it will only take a quarter of an hour to go back and forth! ”
Prison Secretary Hu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Please wait a while, and then lead someone to fetch the table!"
”
"Well, there's no hurry."
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I've drunk the wine and eaten the rice, and I just want to meet the kid who was sent that night." ”
"Yes!
”
Prison Secretary Hu bowed down and retreated, and after going out, he trotted out of the prison with a few henchmen...
And Xu Boqing drank the wine in the cup, got up and called two jailers to accompany him, and went to prison......
