I am building a fairy garden on earth

Chapter 13 The Slaughtering Plate
Xu Boqing stopped in front of his second uncle's house for a long time, and took a deep breath of relief before suppressing the anxiety and confusion in his heart.

Just when he was about to go to the surrounding area to check the situation, a strong male voice suddenly sounded not far behind him: "If I remember correctly, your name is Xu Boqing, and you are Lao Xu's nephew?"

When Xu Boqing turned around, he saw a group of soldiers from the inspection department slowly surrounding him.

The middle-aged man in the lead looked familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that his name was Zhou Yong, and he was on duty in the inspection department with his second uncle Xu He, and they had an inseparable relationship.

When I was visiting relatives, I often saw this person drinking with my second uncle, so it was very familiar.

He asked cautiously, "Are you Uncle Zhou?"

Zhou Yong grinned and nodded, and said, "It's me."

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

"Ugh……"

Zhou Yong sighed, glanced at his surroundings, saw that they were all familiar colleagues, and then leaned over and explained in a low voice: "A week ago, a few assassins sneaked into the imperial city to assassinate His Majesty, of course, it must be impossible to succeed.

The assassin escaped after the assassination failed, His Majesty Longyan was furious, not only the inspection of the inner imperial city suffered, but also the inspection of our outer capital city was implicated.

All the inspectors who were on duty that day dragged their families with them, one counted as one, and all were locked up in the sky prison. As long as they were immediate family members, they had to be taken to investigate.

Old Xu was one of the inspections that day, and I was lucky enough to escape unharmed because of my shift that day. "

"..."

Xu Boqing suddenly thought of something, and looked inexplicably at the inspection department and the people surrounding him.

The corner of his mouth twitched and he asked, "Uncle Zhou, why did you come here to take me to investigate!?"

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

"..."

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

Xu Boqing thought of the verse he just said to the old man yesterday, and now the second half of the verse is applicable to himself, wouldn't it be appropriate?
Zhou Yong said in a low voice: "This matter is now in the charge of Eunuch Li from the East Factory, and our inspection department can't intervene.

As long as the road guides and documents are found to be related, they have to be taken to investigate, but this matter can be big or small, and Eunuch Li is rich, you know what I mean? "

Airborne a Dongchang eunuch in charge of...

The inspection department can't intervene?
I'm afraid it's not that they can't get involved, but that they share the spoils together! ?
Xu Boqing twitched his cheeks, forced a stiff smile on his face, and said: "My family was attacked by bandits, my father risked his life and sent me out of the city, and asked me to come to the capital to join my second uncle.

I never thought that I would be robbed by a strongman on the way, all my family members died, and my money was also robbed. If I hadn’t escaped by feigning death, I wouldn’t have survived in Kyoto. "

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

Zhou Yong is silent...

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are Daliang's secret service agencies, and their intelligence systems are extremely comprehensive. Eunuch Li, who came by airborne, came to take advantage of the opportunity to make money...

Some people handed over the guide and entered the city with documents, but in fact they were already targeted by some people.

And they are all watching people order.

When you meet a wealthy family, let alone five taels of silver, even 50 taels or 500 taels may not be able to redeem you! !
If the other party is Xu He, or even Xu He's son Xu Da, Zhou Yong will find a way to help him collect money to 'redeem', but the other party is just the nephew of his good friend Xu He...

Haven't met a few times at all.

He also has a family to support, so it is impossible for him to raise that sum of money for a good friend and nephew whom he has not met a few times.

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

So he cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry too much, just do what you want, my nephew can still bear it..."

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

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Seeing that no one was escorting him, Xu Boqing didn't want to run away, but followed them obediently to the office of the inspection department.

After all, people want to make themselves decent. If they are not sensible, others can help them to be decent.

After arriving at the inspection department, Zhou Yong and his group bowed and left, and another group took over. They took Xu Boqing straight to the dungeon without asking.

At this time, in the dungeon of the inspection department...

A middle-aged eunuch with a fair face and beardless, lean figure and wearing a bullfight suit sat on the main seat, sipping tea with an orchid in his hand.

Accompanied by several officials dressed in the costumes of the Inspection Department, they talked and laughed in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

And inside the dark dungeon, the sound of leather whips and people screaming can be heard from time to time...

After a while, someone from the inspection department came down to ventilate. Sun Sheng, who was sitting below, waved his hand after hearing the news, signaling to bring him here, and then cupped his hands with a smile...

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

"Oh?"

Eunuch Li, who was seated at the top, was surprised, glanced at him with raised eyebrows, and said, "It is said that Jianyang was attacked by bandits two days ago. This Xu family is a wealthy local family, and there are still people left."

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

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both Daliang spy agencies, with the authority to supervise all officials.

However, the previous emperors of Daliang forgot the ancestral precepts and began to reuse eunuchs. So far, Dongchang, a spy agency composed of eunuchs, has far more authority than Jinyiwei.

Not to mention the Inspection Department, a department under Jinyiwei.

Eunuch Li didn't care about him, and said, "Bring it here."

"Yes."

Xu Boqing was taken to the dungeon, and he sneered when he saw the lean eunuch sitting at the top sipping tea, accompanied by the fat-headed inspection department officials on both sides carefully.

This girder is really rotten to the bone, not to mention the dog emperor, he is the same from top to bottom...

After thinking about it, he wasn't stupid enough to pretend to be tough in front of these people, so he bowed and saluted with a bit of fear on his face.

"Crassman Xu Boqing, I have met some adults."

"Xu...Bo...Qing."

Eunuch Li took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said in a strange way: "That's right, it's a good skin, but I don't know how many whips this small body can take."

Sun Sheng, who was at the bottom, stood up, helped him up with a smile, and said, "My name is Sun Sheng, and I'm your second uncle's immediate superior. I heard your second uncle mentioned that he has a nephew who is well-educated. is you?"

One of the two sang bad faces and the other sang bad faces. Coupled with the occasional screams from the depths of the dungeon, the defenses of ordinary people were easily opened.

Xu Boqing's face turned bitter, he pretended to be flattered and nodded, and replied: "It's Caomin."

"You should know what happened to Old Xu. It's His Majesty's will, and we're just following the order."

"The grass people know."

"Then you also know about the 'redemption'?"

"Know…"

"That's easy."

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

But today's medicinal materials are too expensive...

Helpless can only let everyone raise funds.

When the medicine is ready, His Majesty may be happy, let the past go, and your second uncle will be released because of this. "

He paused, and then pointedly said: "I heard that the Xu family in Jianyang is a well-known wealthy family in the local area. The 'redemption' is set at 3000 taels, how about it?"

3000 taels! ? ?
Even Xu Boqing, who had seen snake monsters before, was shocked by this figure. Xu's family runs several rice shops in Jianyang, and their annual net profit is only more than a thousand taels.

He came with 3000 taels of 'redemption'. This is no 'redemption', it is clearly killing people like pigs!
