"oh?"

Xu Boqing was surprised and asked: "You, Jin Mantang, are you sure you don't want to sell untrained raw melon eggs?"

"That's what you said, guest sir."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a smile: "That untrained melon egg doesn't know anything. If I sell it, I won't be destroying my own brand."

"Ah…"

Xu Boqing couldn't help but sneer when he saw his indifferent attitude. He stared into his eyes and asked word for word: "Let me ask you, is this Jin Mantang sure that he will not sell untrained raw melon eggs..."

"..."

The shopkeeper saw a hint of impatience in his expression, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "Sir, if you are sincere in doing business, we will entertain you with delicious food and drinks."

His voice paused, and then he said pointedly: "If you want to find trouble, the big boss behind Jin Mantang is Prince Yu's Mansion, so you have to think carefully about it."

As he finished speaking, some of the servants in the shop also walked out, staring at Xu Boqing and Duan Yuanze with unkind eyes...

"You must come here to do business sincerely."

Xu Boqing glanced around, and then said with a smile: "Isn't it because he is afraid that if he buys those untrained melon eggs, it will be difficult to do business when he goes back?"

"Then Sir, you are worrying too much..."

When the shopkeeper saw him like this, he thought he was frightened and couldn't help but look a little proud.

Then he comforted him and said, "We at Jin Man Tang are well-known in this area and we don't sell untrained eggs."

"That's okay, that's okay~"

Xu Boqing smiled when he heard this.

Then he took out a five thousand tael silver note from his body and knocked it on the counter to show his sincerity...

When the shopkeeper saw him taking out five thousand taels, he smiled a little, thinking to himself that it was a big business, no wonder he was so cautious...

Immediately he patted his chest and promised, "Sir, you can rest assured. If you have any requests, just say so. We, Jin Man Tang, will arrange everything for you."

"Any request is acceptable?"

"My lord, don't you want to buy a slave child?"

The shopkeeper said: "You can put forward any request regarding this slave child, and we can follow the request and help you find a suitable candidate."

"That's okay..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly and then said: "In the small alley behind Fengze Street in the west of the city, there is a dilapidated house.

Three days ago, you Jin Mantang people kidnapped eleven orphans without household registration, and I want those eleven orphans."

He paused, and keenly noticed that something was wrong with the shopkeeper's expression, and immediately said: "You just quoted a price ranging from fifty taels to three hundred taels. I will buy eleven for the five thousand taels, so I won't embarrass you.

?”

"..."

The shopkeeper's cheeks trembled and he said with a smile: "Sir, you are joking. We, Jin Mantang, have never caught the fortune-telling orphan you mentioned."

"oh?"

Xu Boqing was surprised, then took out the gold medal given by the emperor and put it on the counter. He smiled and said, "You mean, the information from the West Factory is wrong?"

"..."

The shopkeeper's breath froze when he saw the gold medal...

It occurred to me that people from Xichang came not long ago and asked for the eleven children by name. However, the people from Xichang who came before were prevaricated by me.

Now this person from the West Factory is here again, and he is carrying a gold medal given by the emperor. He is obviously a big shot in the West Factory!!

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He glanced around and saw a clever waiter sneaking out of the back door. He said repeatedly: "The villain has eyes but cannot see gold and jade. I don't know which of the adults in the West Factory it is."

In person?”

Xu Boqing smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Xu."

"Xu..."

The shopkeeper's expression froze, as if he had thought of something.

As the saying goes, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door", he is an outside steward assigned by Prince Yu's palace, and he has more or less contact with some big shots.

He knew that the governor of the West Factory was an eunuch named Xu, and the person in front of him was also named Xu...

Duan Yuanze glanced at a few thugs in the business and asked pointedly: "Supervisor, are these people going to be arrested?"

"Need not…"

Xu Boqing smiled slightly and said: "We are here to do business. What we pay attention to is being friendly and making money. How can we arrest people randomly?"

"Governor...Governor..."

When the shopkeeper heard the name 'Governor', his face turned a little pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"how?"

Seeing his posture, Xu Boqing said with a smile: "The shopkeeper just promised with a pat on his chest, why does he seem so embarrassed now?"

"no……"

The shopkeeper wanted to say something else.

"Not what?"

Xu Boqing found a chair and sat down indifferently, and said with a smile: "Is it because the shopkeeper is making fun of me?"

After saying that, he hooked his fingers and saw the shopkeeper's body flying out of the counter uncontrollably and falling in front of his door with a cry of surprise.

The expressions of several healthy servants in the shop changed when they saw this, and they immediately prepared to draw out their weapons for a confrontation. However, as soon as the weapons were drawn out, there was a flash of shock, and then all the weapons in their hands broke.

"You bastard, how dare you disrespect the governor?"

Duan Yuanze scolded him with a cold face after drawing out his sword, and placed the Jinghong Sword in his hand directly against the shopkeeper's neck.

And the few healthy servants in the shop took a few steps back with frightened faces. They all knew that if the sword light just now had been a few inches longer, their lives would have been lost!

"Don't scare people."

Xu Boqing waved his hand as he spoke, and the door of Jin Mantang's store suddenly closed. Then he said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I have put the money on the counter. Where is the person I want?"

"Lord Lord, have mercy! Lord Lord, have mercy!!"

The shopkeeper also calmed down at this time, felt the coolness on his neck, and said tremblingly: "Those children have been sold! They are all sold!"

"sold?"

Xu Boqing snorted coldly and said: "It's only been three days since you caught those orphans. In these three days, do you, Jin Mantang, have the magical means to train people well?"

"no no…"

"Then you are lying to me!"

Xu Boqing said coldly: "Just now you said that Jin Man Tang doesn't sell untrained raw melon eggs, and now you're selling them?"

"Deceive the imperial officials and seek death!"

Duan Yuanze's eyes moved slightly, and the edge of the Jinghong Sword in his hand moved a little closer to the shopkeeper's neck...

"Lord Governor, have mercy on me! Lord Governor, have mercy on me!!"

And the shopkeeper screamed, he could clearly feel that his skin had been cut, and warm blood overflowed.

Between life and death, he shouted with a pale face: "It's the prince, the villain is working for the prince, and those orphans were taken away by the prince!!"

"Your Majesty?"

Xu Boqing frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to signal Duan Yuanze not to rush to kill him. Then he looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Which prince took it away?"

at this time…

Jin Mantang's door was kicked open.

An old man with gray hair and some age spots on his face walked in with a cold face and scolded: "I took it away, how about it?"

"..."

When shopkeeper Jin Mantang saw his old master coming, he knelt and crawled to his feet, crying with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."

"Prince Yu..."

Xu Boqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Prince Yu in front of him is the younger brother of Emperor Sheng Yuan and the uncle of the current Emperor Yonghe.

It is said that when Emperor Sheng Yuan was competing for the position of crown prince, he was the backbone representative who strongly supported Emperor Sheng Yuan. And because he was born from the same mother, Emperor Sheng Yuan naturally never treated his younger brother badly after he ascended the throne.

It has been almost twenty years since Emperor Shengyuan died, but his younger brother, Prince Yu, is still strong and strong??

"Xu Boqing? Governor of the West Factory?"

King Yu sneered, and when he saw the young man sitting on the chair, he said jokingly: "President Xu is so powerful, how dare you commit crimes against me?"
