Chapter 170
Seeing his posture, Xu Boqing was not angry, but smiled inexplicably, and asked, "If I remember correctly, Lord Yu is almost 60 years old, right?"

"how?"

Seeing that he was not angry, King Yu asked about his own age instead, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, then said with a cold snort: "You dog remembers clearly, and it will be my king's [-]th birthday in two days."

"Oh~ that's good..."

Xu Boqing dragged on the word 'oh' for a long time, and then he smiled and said: "When I first served as the governor of the West Factory, I read a lot of materials, including the story of Prince Yu who was sick and bedridden.

But now it seems that it was all a rumor!
Prince Yu's complexion is ruddy, his body is strong, his spirit is not much more than that of a young man..."

He paused, then said with a smile: "May I ask, does the prince have any special health-preserving secrets?"

"..."

Hearing this, King Yu's breathing was stagnant, and his heart beat a little faster, and then he said in a cold voice: "This king pays attention to taking care of his body after recovering from his illness. Should I report this method to you?"

"My lord is serious."

Xu Boqing smiled slightly, and then asked: "My lord, 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?"

King Yu's complexion sank, "So what?"

"No, just ask..."

Xu Boqing shook his head, and then asked: "May I take the liberty to ask, what do you want those untrained slave children to do?"

"You dog, you are so courageous!"

King Yu scolded, and then said with a cold face: "I came to this king's shop to make trouble, and now I'm interrogating me? Do you really think that the position of governor of the West Factory can save the dog's life?"

"My lord, calm down."

Xu Boqing waved his hands and said with a smile: "I came to Jinmantang to discuss business, but your shopkeeper's preface does not match the latter, and he deliberately deceived me."

He paused, and then said: "My lord, you also know the laws of Daliang. It is a capital offense to deceive the court officials. How can this be called trouble?"

"Jin Mantang is the property of this king!!"

King Yu snorted coldly, pointed to the outside and said: "Now, I don't want to do business with you dog, please get out of Jinmantang!"

"Look, look, there is no righteousness in business."

Xu Boqing was quite helpless and said: "My lord, you say a dog on the left and a dog on the right. I am not angry when I have been scolded all the time. Why are you angry?"

"Angry? You deserve it too?"

King Yu sneered, and then said sharply: "Now, take your things, take your people, and get out of Jin Mantang! Get out of my sight!"

"..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, then stood up and said: "Then I, a stray dog, won't be here to disturb the lord's pleasure."

He took back the gold medal and silver ticket, led Duan Yuanze and was about to go out, but when he passed by King Yu, he stopped suddenly and sniffed his nose...

Immediately seeing the old prince beside him, he said pointedly: "My lord, I seem to smell some blood on you."

"What nonsense!"

King Yu's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, and then he scolded with a serious face: "This king just left the mansion after bathing and burning incense. How can there be a bloody smell on his body?"

"I also studied physiognomy for a while before entering the palace."

Xu Boqing didn't seem to hear what he said, and said to himself: "This appearance seems to be a sign of a bloody disaster. It is better for the prince not to go out recently."

After finishing speaking, he left the door of Jinmantang shop.

"You...a stray dog!"

King Yu saw his back going away, but he didn't know what to think of, his face was so gloomy that it seemed that water was about to drip out...

Seeing that the old shopkeeper of Jin Mantang was still prostrate at his feet, he lifted his leg and kicked him on the head, scolding: "Useless things, you will only find trouble for this king!"

And after the old shopkeeper was kicked, there was a crisp 'crack' sound from his neck, and then his head was tilted to one side, his eyes were empty, his mouth and nose were bleeding and he died.

…………

Duan Yuanze frowned all the way, hesitant to speak, and struggled for a while before he said: "Master, are we going to leave like this?"

"Ok?"

Xu Boqing glanced at him, and said with a half-smile: "The master's family has driven everyone away, why don't you leave?"

"But...but..."

Duan Yuanze knew how strong his governor was, so he said a little angrily: "The governor is so good at making good fortune, why should he be wronged like this?"

"Ok?"

Xu Boqing was surprised, then shook his head and smiled, "Could it be that I want to kill him in the street to vent my anger?"

"The governor cherishes feathers and doesn't want to argue with him, but a humble position cannot sit back and watch the governor be humiliated!"

Duan Yuanze showed an expression of resentment, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he immediately said through gritted teeth: "This humble officer will kill that old bastard!!"

The Duan family has been hunted down for several years, and the members of the family are all dead. It is not good for the two brothers to survive and escape to Daliang...

He is humble and polite, but being humble and polite doesn't mean he has no temper!

He already recognized Xu Boqing as an elder and a benefactor, and now seeing his elder and benefactor being insulted with his own eyes, naturally the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

As he spoke, he wanted to turn around and kill Jin Mantang.

"Don't worry..."

Seeing that he was really murderous, Xu Boqing quickly grabbed him and said with a smile: "The old guy won't live for a few more days, and you will have a chance to show off in a few days."

"The governor's words are true?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"..."

Duan Yuanze could only give up when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "The life of the humble job is saved by the governor. If the governor has any orders, you can just say it bluntly..."

"It's enough if you have this heart."

Xu Boqing smiled and said no more...

When returning to the palace and passing by the Zhao family branch, he saw that the foreign girl and fox demon in front of the door had disappeared, so his eyes moved slightly.

Immediately, he walked into the Zhao's shop, grabbed the clerk in the shop and asked, "Brother, where is the white girl who sold in front of your shop just now?"

Seeing him asking about Miss Bai, the guy immediately showed a knowing smile and said, "Guest officer, you are a step late, Miss Bai has already been bought."

"Didn't you just say wait, how come when I go home and pay the money, the person is bought away?"

Xu Boqing pretended to be anxious and complained: "Brother, do you know who bought Miss Bai? I will go and pay a high price to redeem Miss Bai!!"

"I advise you not to think about it..."

The guy shook his head, glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, and said quietly: "Miss Bai was bought by someone from Prince Gong's Mansion."

"Zhu Wenjue?"

"I can't...I can't..."

The guy hurriedly gave him a hand, and cautiously warned: "Guest officer, don't commit any taboos."

"Thank you for letting me know..."

Xu Boqing thanked him, cupped his hands, and left the Zhao family business with a thoughtful attitude...

This kid Zhu Wenjue looks gentle and refined, with the attitude of a refined student. He never expected to strike so quickly when he saw a beauty...

he shook his head...

After abandoning distracting thoughts, he returned to the West Factory Supervisor.

Let the old eunuch pass a message, and sat there sipping tea.

Jiang Jin and Kong Qing hurried back again, they looked at each other, and after saluting, they saw that the governor had no intention of speaking, so they waited quietly...

After a while...

Among all the stalls in the West Factory, except for those who were away on official business who failed to come, as long as they were still in the capital, they all rushed back after hearing the news.

Not only Jiang Jin and Kong Qing were a little dazed, but so were the rest of the crowd.

But they can also imagine that since the governor has summoned all the team from the West Factory, he must have something to order, and it is a big move!
Xu Boqing sipped the tea out of his hands, glanced at the subordinates in the hall, and said, "Jiang Jin, is everyone here?"

Jiang Jin was startled when he heard the words, he quickly glanced around his colleagues, and immediately responded: "My Lord, among the colleagues in the capital, only Duan Yuansi has not arrived, and the rest have arrived."

"..."

Duan Yuanze, who was standing behind Xu Boqing, stared slightly at the words, but didn't say much...

"Don't mind him."

Xu Boqing shook his head, put down the teacup in his hand and said bluntly: "I called you here today because I want you to investigate something."

Without even thinking about it, all the Xichang team members knelt down on one knee, cupped their hands and shouted: "I am willing to do my best for the governor!"

"good…"

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, and didn't mean to beat around the bush. After pondering for a while, he said in a cold voice: "Use the means you can use and start investigating Prince Yu's Mansion!"

"..."

Hearing that the object of the investigation was the palace, the hall was silent, and all the leaders felt a little at a loss.

"Supervisor, what aspects should we focus on investigating?"

Kong Qing was the first to recover, and said with a slight movement of his eyes: "The humble official knows the target, so it's good to have a certain number."

"Check everything!"

Xu Boqing explained: "I want to see in two days who the Prince Yu Mansion has recruited into the mansion in the past six months, and who the King Yu and his family have had contact with. The more detailed the better!"

"Two days..."

Jiang Jin's breath was stagnant, and he asked cautiously: "Master, there are only two days, is it too hasty?"

"Only two days!"

Xu Boqing glanced around and saw that all his subordinates looked thoughtful, and asked, "Tell me, can you find out!?"

"can!!"

All the heads of the Xichang stalls echoed in unison...

"I will be in the West Factory Supervisor for the past two days, and the information I have investigated will be sent every three hours..."

Xu Boqing said sternly: "I don't care what methods you use, whether it's honest or weird, even if you spend money, you have to get the news out!"

He paused, then waved his hand and said, "All the expenses of investigating the news will be recorded in the account, and they will be reimbursed by the West Factory later, let's go!"

"Yes!!"

All the Xichang stalls below were short of breath when they heard "Every turn will be reimbursed by Xichang", and then they looked at each other and retreated with a smile.

Seeing that people dispersed, Duan Yuanze hesitated, and reminded: "Master, all the expenses of this investigation will be reimbursed by the West Factory, will someone report an empty account?"

"meeting…"

Xu Boqing picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, then smiled pointedly: "The salary is only so little, if you don't give them a chance to earn food, 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 sum of money in the end. It seems that the money in our West Factory is not much..."

"It's okay..."

"But since the governor has already spoken out, if you evade it at that time, won't it affect your prestige, the governor?"

"Who said I would shirk?"

Xu Boqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "We never spend our own money on work in the West Factory..."

"..."

For the next two days...

All the Xichang stalls showed their own means. The materials that could be sorted out in the files were first extracted and sorted out, and then they were either given gifts, bought, or threatened to infiltrate Prince Yu's mansion.

If it is normal, such a high-frequency infiltration might attract the attention of people in Prince Yu's mansion...

But coincidentally, it coincides with King Yu's [-]th birthday. King Yu is old and sophisticated, and there are a lot of people coming and going, so the scale of the banquet held is naturally not small...

Not to mention all the family members and servants, even the family members of the palace are too busy to take care of other things...

Prince Yu's Mansion 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 were also sent back to Xu Boqing from various channels in Xichang, some about Yuwang Mansion, some about Yuwang, and some about Yuwang's family members.

It is clear what clothes King Yu's daughter, who has been married for many years, will wear when she returns to her natal home to celebrate her birthday, and how many gifts she will bring.

And Xu Boqing also found the information he wanted...

Four months ago, Yu Wang, who had been bedridden for many days without even being treated by an imperial doctor, was strangely cured of his chronic illness by a quack doctor with folk remedies.

And not only cured the stubborn disease, Yu Wang, who is over 20 years old, seems to be more than [-] years old...

Leaving aside the fact that she is strong and strong, she even took in the two twin sisters who were two years old, white and beautiful, as concubines.

Almost after King Yu recovered from his illness, King Yu’s mansion often recruited some slave children into the mansion, and most of them were children selected from the lower dental shop...

Since King Yu recovered from his illness for four months, more than a hundred children have been sent to King Yu's mansion, but the strange thing is that the servants in King Yu's mansion have not seen those children...

There are even rumors among the servants in the palace that there are monsters that only eat boys and girls in the palace.

………………

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye...

Xu Boqing sat on the chair with his eyes closed, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest, as if he was thinking about something.

When he saw King Yu in Jinmantang the day before yesterday, he saw something abnormal about King Yu through his third eye.

Although the body is already old, the energy and blood are extremely strong like a young man, but this phenomenon of strong energy and blood is not normal.

It's like a candle that is about to burn out, but the candle is burning more vigorously for some reason, there are only two possibilities.

Either the wax is burned out, and the last wick of the candle is like a flash of light, and the burn is over;
Or it was affected by some external force, for example, his wax oil was about to burn out, and someone else helped him add new wax oil.

Of these two possibilities, King Yu's appearance doesn't look like a flashback, obviously not the former.

That is, someone cast a spell to help him continue his life! !

And the method of casting is definitely not a serious way...

Since King Yu recovered from his illness, Prince Yu's Mansion has often recruited some slave children into the mansion, and most of them are children selected from the lower dental shop...

It seems normal for slave children to enter the palace and serve as servants of the palace;
But the original servants of the palace, the servants have never seen those children, this is not normal...

And nothing is more abnormal than the quantity...

It has been four months since King Yu recovered from his illness. During these four months, more than a hundred slave children were sent to the mansion! !
More than a hundred people, children! !
Or, as the servants of the palace guessed, there are monsters that only eat virgin boys and girls in Prince Yu's palace;
Or someone in Prince Yu's mansion used boys and slaves to cast evil spells! !
At this moment, Jiang Jin rushed back...

Xu Boqing paused slightly when he tapped on the armrest, opened his eyes to look at Jiang Jin, then looked at the sky outside, and asked, "Are you ready?"

"To the Lord!!"

Jiang Jin responded with a look of excitement: "The people below are ready, and the humble officer is here to return..."

"Well, let's go, eat and drink well."

Xu Boqing waved his hand. After the figure walked away, he glanced at Duan Yuanze beside him, and said with a smile, "Take your brother with you, and follow me to the banquet..."

After all, stand up and go...

When Duan Yuanze saw the governor going out, a smile appeared on his cheek, and he muttered: "[-]th birthday, what a day..."

 Thank you for your rewards and votes for the book friends...

  thank!

  It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass.
