Chapter 169: I have to pick a good day to start
Seeing his posture, Xu Boqing was not angry, but smiled inexplicably and asked, "If I remember correctly, Prince Yu is almost sixty years old, right?" ”
"How?"
Seeing that he was not angry, but asked about his age, King Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said with a cold snort: "You gelding dog remember it clearly, and it will be the king's sixtieth birthday in two days." ”
"Oh~ that's good..."
Xu Boqing's 'oh' was very long, and then he smiled: "When I first served as the superintendent of Xichang, I had read a lot of information, including the fact that Prince Yu was sick and bedridden.
But now it seems that it was all a rumor!
Lord Yu has a ruddy complexion and a strong body, and this spirit is not much more reckless than that of young people..."
His voice paused, and then he said with a smile: "I take the liberty of asking, does the prince have any special health secrets?" ”
“……”
When King Yu heard this, his breathing stagnated, and the frequency of his heartbeat was a little faster, and then he said in a cold voice: "After this king recovers from his illness, he pays attention to recuperating his body, and this health regimen still has to be reported to you?" ”
"The prince is serious."
Xu Boqing smiled slightly, and then asked: "Lord Wang, just now I heard from the shopkeeper of Jin Mantang that those untrained children were taken away, and you said that you took them away?" ”
"So what?"
Yuwang's face sank, "What's the matter?" ”
"No, just ask..."
Xu Boqing shook his head, and then asked, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what do you want those untrained slave children to do?" ”
"Gelding, you are so daring!"
King Yu scolded, and then said with a cold face: "Come to this king's store to make trouble, and now you are still interrogating this king?" Can this position as the overseer of the West Factory save your dog's life? ”
"Lord Wang, you are discouraged."
Xu Boqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I came to this Jinmantang to discuss business, but the foreword of your shopkeeper does not match the afterword, and he intends to deceive me." ”
His voice paused, and then said: "Lord Wang, you also know the law of Daliang, this deceives the court officials, but it is a capital crime, how can this be said to be a trouble?"
"Jin Mantang is the property of this king!!"
King Yu snorted coldly, pointed outside and said, "Now, this king doesn't want to do your gelding business, please get out of Jinmantang!" ”
"You see, you see, buying and selling is not benevolence."
Xu Boqing said helplessly: "Lord Wang, you have a gelding dog on the left and a gelding dog on the right, I haven't been angry at being scolded all the time, why are you angry?" ”
"Angry? Do you deserve it too? ”
King Yu sneered, and then said sharply: "Now, take your things, take your people, and get out of Jinmantang!" Get out of my sight! ”
“……”
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, then stood up and said, "Then I, the gelding dog, will not disturb the prince's Yaxing here." ”
He took back the gold medal and silver ticket, and led Duan Yuanze to prepare to go out, but when he passed by King Yu's side, he suddenly stopped and sniffed his nose...
Then he saw the old prince beside him, and said meaningfully: "Prince, I seem to smell some blood on you." ”
"Nonsense!"
When King Yu heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and then he scolded with a calm face: "How can there be a smell of blood on the body of this king who came out of the mansion after bathing in incense?" ”
"I also studied physiognomy for a while before entering the palace."
Xu Boqing didn't seem to hear his words, and said to himself: "This looks like a sign of a bloody disaster, and the prince has been going out less recently." ”
With that, he walked out of the door of the Golden Mantang firm.
"You...... Gelding! ”
King Yu looked at his back and went away, but he didn't know what he thought, and his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water...
Seeing that the golden old shopkeeper was still prostrate at his feet, he raised his leg and kicked it on the head, and scolded: "Useless things, find trouble for this king!" ”
After the old shopkeeper was kicked, there was a crisp sound of 'Kacha' from his neck, and then his head was tilted to the side, his eyes were hollow, and his mouth and nose were bloody.
…………
Duan Yuanze frowned all the way, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and he struggled for a while before he said, "Overseer, let's just leave?" ”
"Huh?"
Xu Boqing glanced at him, and said with a smile: "The master's family has driven people out, why don't you leave?" ”
"But... But ......"
Duan Yuanze knew how strong his own overseer was, so he said with some resentment: "The overseer is obviously meritorious, why should he be so wronged? ”
"Huh?"
Xu Boqing was shocked, then shook his head and smiled: "Could it be that I want to kill him on the street to vent my anger?" ”
"The Overseer cherishes his feathers and does not want to deal with him, but he cannot sit idly by and watch the Overseer be humiliated!"
Duan Yuanze's face was not angry, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable to slaughter that old thing!"
”
The Duan family has been hunted down and killed for several years, the clansmen are dead, and the two brothers can survive and escape to Daliang, which is not a good stubble...
He is humble and polite, but humility and courtesy is his nature, it does not mean that he has no temper!
He has already recognized Xu Boqing as an elder and a benefactor, and now that he sees his elder and benefactor being insulted, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.
As he spoke, he wanted to turn around and kill back to the golden hall.
"Don't worry..."
Xu Boqing saw that he was really murderous, so he hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "That old guy won't live for a few days, and you will have a chance to perform in a few days." ”
"Is the Overseer true?"
"When did I lie to you?"
“……”
Duan Yuanze could only give up when he heard this, and said sneeringly: "The life of the lowly post is saved by the overseer, if the overseer has any orders, you can speak up..."
"Just have this heart."
Xu Boqing smiled and said no more...
When he passed by the Zhao family branch when he returned to the palace, he saw that the exotic girl and the fox demon in front of the door had disappeared, and his eyes moved slightly.
Then he walked into the Zhao family's business, grabbed the guy in the business and asked, "Little brother, where is the white girl who was sold in front of your store just now?" ”
When the guy saw him asking the white girl, he immediately showed a knowing smile and said, "Guest officer, you are a step late, and the white girl has already been bought." ”
"Didn't you say wait, why did I go home and pay the money back, and people were bought?"
Xu Boqing pretended to be anxious and complained: "Little brother, do you know who bought the white girl?" I'm going to redeem the White Maiden at a high price!
”
"I advise my son not to think about this..."
The guy shook his head, glanced around and saw that no one cared, and then whispered, "The white girl was bought by the people of Gong Wangfu. ”
"Zhu Wenjue?"
"I can't do it... I can't help it..."
The fellow hurriedly pulled him by the hand and cautiously admonished, "Don't make a taboo for the guest officer." ”
"Thank you..."
Xu Boqing thanked him, and left the Zhao family business with a thoughtful attitude after arching his hand...
Zhu Wenjue, this kid looks polite and polite, with the posture of an elegant student, but he didn't expect to see the beauty start so quickly...
He shook his head...
After abandoning distractions, he returned to the West Factory Supervisor.
Let the old eunuch pass a word, and sit there and drink tea.
Jiang Jin and Kong Qing hurried back again, the two looked at each other, and after saluting, they saw that the overseer had no intention of speaking, so they waited quietly...
A little effort...
Among the stalls in the West Factory, except for those who were on official business, they all rushed back after hearing the news.
Not only Jiang Jin and Kong Qing looked a little dazed, but so did the rest of the stalls.
But they can also think that since the overseer has summoned all the teams of the West Factory, there must be something to order, and it is a big move!
Xu Boqing took a sip of the tea in his hand, glanced at the subordinates in the hall, and said, "Jiang Jin, have you all arrived?" ”
Jiang Jin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly glanced at a circle of colleagues, and then responded: "Lord Governor, among the colleagues in the capital, only Duan Yuansi has not arrived, and the rest are all here. ”
“……”
Duan Yuanze, who was standing behind Xu Boqing, stared slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything...
"Leave him alone."
Xu Boqing shook his head, put down the teacup in his hand and said bluntly: "I summoned you here today because I want you to start investigating. ”
The team of the West Factory below knelt down on one knee without thinking about it, and arched their hands and shouted: "We are willing to serve the overseer!" ”
"Not bad..."
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, and he didn't mean to beat around the bush, and after a deep groan, he said coldly: "Use the means you can use to start investigating Yuwang Mansion!" ”
“……”
Hearing that the object of the investigation was the palace, the hall was quiet, and all the stalls were a little at a loss.
"Overseer, what are you focusing on?"
Kong Qing was the first to come to his senses, and said with a slight movement in his eyes: "If you know the goal, you can have a quasi-number." ”
"Check everything!"
Xu Boqing explained: "I want to see within two days what people have been recruited into Yuwang's Mansion in the past six months, and who Yuwang and his family have been in contact with, the more detailed the better!" ”
"Two days ......"
Jiang Jin's breath stagnated, and he asked cautiously, "Overseer, there are only two days, will it be too hasty?" ”
"Only two days!"
Xu Boqing glanced around, and saw that all his subordinates were thoughtful, and asked, "Tell me, can you find out!?" ”
"Yes!
”
A group of West Factory stalls echoed in unison...
"I've been in the West Factory Prison for the past two days, and the information I've investigated will be sent every three hours..."
Xu Boqing said with a straight face: "I don't care what means you use, whether it's positive or strange, even if you spend money, you have to smash the news out!" ”
His voice paused, and then he waved his hand and said: "The cost of the investigation news should be recorded in the account, and all the expenses will be reimbursed by the West Factory when you turn back, let's go!" ”
"Yes!
”
The stalls below heard that 'all the heads of the West Factory will be reimbursed by the West Factory', and then they looked at each other and retreated with a smile.
Seeing that the people dispersed, Duan Yuanze hesitated and reminded: "Overseer, all the expenses of this investigation news will be reimbursed by the West Factory, will anyone report empty accounts?" ”
"Yes..."
Xu Boqing took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then smiled meaningfully: "It's just that, if you don't give them the opportunity to eat, how can they work hard?" ”
"But ......"
Duan Yuanze frowned slightly and said: "But there are so many people, if everyone eats empty accounts, it must be a large amount of silver expenditure in the end, and it seems that there is not much silver in our West Factory..."
"It's okay..."
"But since the Overseer has already spoken the word, if you shirk it then, won't it affect your prestige?"
"Who said I'd shirk it?"
Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Xichang has never spent his own money on affairs..."
“……”
Over the next two days...
The heads of the West Factory stalls showed their own methods, and the information that could be sorted out in the file was first extracted and sorted out, and then either gifted, or bought, or coerced into the Yuwang Mansion.
If it were normal, such a high frequency of infiltration would not have attracted the attention of the people in Yuwang's mansion...
But coincidentally, it coincided with the 60th birthday of Yuwang, Yuwang people are old and refined, there are a lot of people who come and go, and the scale of the banquet is naturally not small...
Don't say that all the family servants are servants, but the family scrolls of the royal palace are busy and have no intention of taking care of other things...
Yuwangfu was still immersed in the joy of the prince's birthday, and no one from top to bottom noticed the infiltration.
All kinds of news also came back to Xu Boqing from various channels in the West Factory, some about Yuwangfu, some about Yuwang, and some about Yuwang's family scrolls.
It is clear what clothes to wear when King Yu's daughter, who has been married for many years, returns to her parents' house to celebrate her birthday, and how many congratulatory gifts she brings.
And Xu Boqing also found the information he wanted...
Four months ago, Yu Wang, who had been bedridden for many days and didn't even have a doctor, was mysteriously cured of a stubborn illness by a Jianghu Langzhong with a home remedy.
And not only cured the stubborn disease, Yuwang, who is over sixty years old, seems to be more than twenty years younger...
Putting aside the strong body for the time being, even the old tree accepted the twin sisters of the two-room double ten-year, fair-skinned and beautiful as concubines.
Almost after King Yu's illness was cured, King Yu's Mansion would often admit some slave children into the house, and they were basically children selected from the bottom tooth line...
In the four months since King Yu recovered from his illness, more than 100 children have been sent to King Yu's Mansion, but strangely, the servants in King Yu's Mansion have not seen those children...
There are even rumors among the people in the palace that there are monsters in the palace that only eat boys and girls.
………………
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye...
Xu Boqing sat on the chair with his eyes closed, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest, as if he was thinking about something.
The day before yesterday, when he saw King Yu in Jinmantang, he saw that King Yu was a little abnormal through the eyes of the Heavenly Eyes.
Obviously the body is old, but the qi and blood are extremely vigorous like a young man, but this phenomenon of vigorous qi and blood is not normal.
It's like a candle that is about to burn out, but the candle flame is burning more vigorously for some reason, there are only two possibilities.
Either the wax oil is burned out, and the last candle wick is burned out as if the light is returning to shine;
Either it was affected by some external force, for example, his wax oil was about to burn out, and someone else helped him refill the wax oil.
Of these two possible species, Yuwang's appearance does not look like a return to the light, and it is obviously not the former.
That's someone casting a spell to help him stay alive!
And the method cast is definitely not a serious way...
Since Yuwang recovered from his illness, Yuwang's Mansion has often recruited some slave children into the house, and they are basically children selected from the bottom tooth line...
It seems normal for slave children to enter the palace and act as servants of the royal palace;
But the original subordinates and servants of the palace have not seen those children, which is abnormal...
And there's nothing more abnormal than the quantity...
It has been four months since King Yu recovered from his illness, and in these four months, more than 100 slave children have been sent to the house!
More than 100 people, children!
Or, as the people in the palace speculated, King Yu's mansion raised monsters that only ate boys and girls;
Either that, someone in King Yu's Mansion uses boys and slaves to apply evil laws!
At this moment, Jiang Jin rushed back...
Xu Boqing's fingers tapped on the armrest slightly, opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Jin, then looked at the sky outside, and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"Lord Overseer!
”
Jiang Jin responded with an excited face: "The people below are ready, and they are here to restore their lives..."
"Well, let's go, eat and drink."
Xu Boqing waved his hand, and after the figure walked away, he glanced at Duan Yuanze beside him, and said with a smile: "Take your brother and go to the banquet with me..."
With that, stand up and go...
When Duan Yuanze saw the overseer go out, a smile also appeared on his cheeks, and he muttered: "Sixty birthdays, what a good day......
Watch me build a fairy court in the world.8.2... m。 :
