Chapter 17 Manager Huang Xu Fugui

Xu Boqing was awakened by a fishy smell...

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was lying naked on a bed, covered with a layer of burlap, and his hands and feet were tied up.

He frowned and looked around, and when he saw some knives hanging on the wall, he felt a chill somewhere.

Thinking about the faint fishy smell and the little eunuch standing at the door, how could you not guess where you were?

I...I'm in the fucking cleansing room!!?

He wanted to break free, but the hemp ropes tied to his hands and feet became tighter and tighter, making it impossible to break free.

For the first time, he hated the original owner of this body!

Why not practice martial arts?

What the hell is the point of learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs? You can’t even run away when something happens!

It’s very possible that even men can’t do it now!!

"Yo...are you awake?"

After hearing the noise, the little eunuch walked over with a smile, pinched the orchid finger and said, "Save your strength and stop struggling, it's useless."

An ugly smile appeared on Xu Boqing's face and he said: "Little father-in-law, I have five taels of silver in my pocket. Can you please make it easier for me and let me go?"

The little eunuch smiled and said, "I searched you when you were brought here. Not to mention five taels in your pocket, there wasn't even a penny in it."

"..."

Xu Boqing's face froze, thinking that he was brought here after being knocked unconscious, and the five taels of silver left on his body must have been touched by the inspection department or the eunuchs who were killed by a thousand swords!!

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

The little eunuch smiled and said some words of relief, raised his hands and said, "My godfather asked me to knock you out again when I saw you were awake. I offended you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife fell on Xu Boqing's neck.

I don't know if the young eunuch was not strong enough or he hit the wrong position. Xu Boqing only felt some pain in his neck, but he didn't feel like he was about to fall into coma.

But after thinking about it, he still pretended that his pupils were dilated, his whole body was weak and he tilted his head to 'faint'. In fact, his eyes were half closed, leaving a slit to observe the outside.

At the same time, he was also thinking about ways to escape.

But before I had time to think too much, I saw the door being pushed open and two old eunuchs walking in...

A man with chicken-skinned skin and white hair, looks very old and looks like half of his body will be buried;

One was wearing a gilt python suit. Although his eyebrows were white, his complexion was extremely rosy. He was obviously someone who had good looks or deep inner strength.

Xu Boqing was keenly aware that the old eunuch in the gilded python suit seemed to have glanced at him, so he quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dizzy.

When the young eunuch guarding the jam room saw this, he quickly came over and bowed, "I've met my godfather, Mr. Huang."

"Just go, go."

Shanfeng waved his hand, and the little eunuch bowed and stepped back knowingly, closing the door behind him when he left.

After seeing his grandson leave, Shanfeng said with a smile: "Look, Mr. Huang, in this life he has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, thin lips and a straight nose. He has a very good appearance. He is also a good family man who has suffered a hard life, and his identity is also innocent.

What’s even more rare is that the work is truly terrifying.”

Manager Huang nodded with a half-smile and did not answer. He just walked straight to the bed where Xu Boqing was, picked up a wooden stick and gently lifted the linen covering his body.

When he saw the "things not like human beings" that Shanfeng mentioned many times, his face trembled even though he was fully prepared.

"Not bad, quite good."

Manager Huang praised a few words, then threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "Boy, stop pretending, wake up when you wake up, we are not some man-eating beasts."

Shanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.

Xu Boqing's breath froze when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he was not sure whether the other party was deceiving him, so he continued to lie there and pretended to be faint...

"Haha, you are quite brave."

Manager Huang just smiled when he saw this.

On the side, Shanfeng took off the various knives hanging on the wall with a smile, and murmured: "I have been working in the cleansing room for more than 40 years, and this knife is the most convenient for me.

I can do that job even with my eyes closed."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

He laughed strangely twice as he spoke, and said pointedly: "What a pity! I am old now, my eyesight is blurred, and your work is different from ordinary people. You may have to cut it ten to eight times."

Cut it cleanly~~"

"No, no, no, no!"

Xu Boqing felt chills all over his body when he heard this. He couldn't help opening his eyes any longer. He saw the old eunuch who was about to be buried half of his body stroking the knife in his hand, with a look of morbid enjoyment on his face. He was lying if he said he wasn't panicking.

.

"My father-in-law has something to say well, father-in-law has something to say well!"

"Hey, are you willing to wake up now!?"

"Wake up, wake up."

Xu Boqing raised his head and shouted: "My father-in-law, I have something to say. The murderous intent on your knife is too strong. The common people will feel cold when they see it. Can you put it away first?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha…"

Manager Huang was also amused by his appearance, waved his hand and said: "Put it away, don't scare people."

Shanfeng also smiled sinisterly and stuffed the knife in his hand back into the knife pouch. However, he did not hang it back on the wall, but placed it on the table that was easily accessible.

Manager Huang asked: "Your name is Xu Boqing?"

Xu Boqing nodded, "Yes."

"Your ancestral home is Jianyang. Your father's name is Xu Zhong, who is now deceased; your uncle's name is Xu He, who works in the Inspection Department and is now imprisoned in a prison. Is there any mistake?"

"Nothing wrong."

"Why were you sent to the cleansing room for what reason?"

Xu Boqing was silent for a while. The matter had come to this and there was no point in concealing it. He thought that the old eunuch in the gilt python suit had a kind attitude towards him, and he might be his hope for a comeback.

He didn't hide anything at the moment and recounted everything that happened in the dungeon of the Inspection Department.

Including the matter of ‘possessing strange skills’…

The two old ladies listening were dumbfounded. Just thinking about the scene at that time, they all felt that their souls were 'severely wounded', not to mention the parties involved in the dungeon at that time.

Fortunately, I have long been indifferent and have grown old...

Manager Huang's eyes moved slightly, and he thought for a moment before speaking: "Your 'extraordinary skills' are really...different from ordinary people."

"The common people don't want to either."

Xu Boqing sighed and said like a Versailles: "But since I was a child, I have been taught by gods and men in my dreams, and ordinary people cannot refuse."

"oh?"

Shanfeng let out a startled expression, then touched the knife on the table, and said sullenly: "Then I will do a good deed and cut off the root of your trouble, how about that?"

"No, no, no, no!"

"Hehehehe..."

Manager Huang couldn't help but smile when he saw his frightened look, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to rescue your second uncle?"

"I want it! I can't even dream of it!"

Xu Boqing nodded and said seriously: "My father is deceased, and my second uncle is the only living relative of the grassroots. When I learned that my second uncle was imprisoned, the grassroots were heartbroken and wished they could not take their own lives."

"Yes, he is thoughtful."

Manager Huang nodded and said with slightly focused eyes: "I can let you leave the cleansing room intact, but from now on, you have to follow me."

His voice paused, and then he continued: "If you live up to your expectations and perform well, not to mention saving your second uncle, you will also get a huge fortune."

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned and said frankly: "Boqing has been wandering for half his life. He only regrets that he has never met his father-in-law. If he does not abandon him, Boqing is willing to worship him as his adopted father. He will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"????"
