Chapter 34

Chance Encounter (please follow up)

In the prison warden's house.

After the warden Hu invited Xu Boqing to take a seat, he diligently made a pot of tea. After filling it, he smiled and said: "The warden's house is simple and simple, not as good as in the palace. If the hospitality is not good, I hope Eunuch Xu will forgive me."

"Prison Director Hu is too polite..."

Xu Boqing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "This tea not only smells pleasant, but also tastes rich and sweet, making your lips and teeth brimming with fluids. It is no worse than the tea in the palace."

"I never thought that my father-in-law is also a tea lover."

Seeing Xu Boqing's gentle attitude, Prison Secretary Hu became very fond of him, and knowing that his relatives were still in the prison, he could almost conclude that he was here to 'negotiate business'.

Then he said with a smile: "This tea is made from the first batch of silver needles this year. I also spent a lot of effort to get some. If my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, I will take a few taels with me when I return to the palace."

.”

"A gentleman does not take away others' love..."

Xu Boqing smiled and politely declined his offer, explaining: "Actually, I'm not a tea drinker. Mainly because Manager Huang of Cining Palace is very good at this. I follow him all day long. Although I don't say how proficient he is, he is very good at it."

You can also tell whether the tea is good or bad.”

"Manager Huang..."

Prison Secretary Hu was slightly in a trance, as if remembering something, and asked: "Eunuch Xu, I would like to take the liberty to ask, is the Manager Huang you are talking about Huang Xingxian and Mr. Huang?"

"Exactly."

"Is Eunuch Huang still in good health?"

"Body?"

Xu Boqing frowned and thought about it, and said in confusion: "If nothing else happens, Manager Huang's health will be fine in a short period of time. What's the matter? Is Mr. Hu having an old relationship with Manager Huang?"

"No, no, no, Eunuch Xu, you have misunderstood..."

Prison Secretary Hu hurriedly explained: "Eunuch Huang was a close servant of the late emperor. He once served as the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, and also supervised the factory owner of the East Factory...

When the old man was holding the whip beside the holy chariot, I was just a little jailer who had just inherited the legacy of my father.

Having the honor to meet him more than 20 years ago is already rare, so how can I dare to get married again?"

Xu Boqing nodded slightly. He only knew that Mr. Huang's martial arts skills were unfathomable and he was kind to others. But he really didn't know that Mr. Huang was so prosperous during the Shengyuan Dynasty.

The two chatted for a while...

You praise me for being young and promising, with an unlimited future;

I praise you for being in your prime and I can learn a lot from you.

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and everyone knows what the other person means.

Xu Boqing was quite interested in the martial arts masters imprisoned in the sky prison, but he only made insinuations and didn't ask any more questions...

And Hu Yusi, an old man, was deliberately trying to guide the assassination of the previous emperor...

During this period, I kept lamenting that it was not easy for the emperor to do his job, and the inspections in the inner and outer cities were even more innocent...

Xu Boqing still didn't know what he meant, so he asked with pretense of sadness: "Prison Secretary Hu, you also know that my second uncle's family are all loyal, but now they are in prison.

As a nephew, my heart is as sharp as a knife, and I wish I could take my place in his place. I wonder if the warden can give me some guidance?"

"Eunuch Xu, don't be anxious."

Prison Secretary Hu also pretended to sigh, and said in a meaningful way: "Although I am a Heavenly Prison Prison Secretary, I do not have the right to directly release people. If you want to appeal, you must get the consent of several adults in the Criminal Department.

"

Xu Boqing nodded clearly and asked: "If the warden can help move the joints of the criminal department, does that mean the person can be released?"

"Of course."

Prison Secretary Hu's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "As long as the joints at the Ministry of Punishment can be opened, not only can the person be released, but the sealed mansion and house can also be unsealed, and the official can even be reinstated.

"

‘It’s become an industrial chain, right?’

Xu Boqing sneered in his heart, stopped pretending, and asked directly: "In the opinion of Prison Secretary Hu, how much silver is needed to move this joint?"

"Different people and different things, the price will naturally be different."

Prison Secretary Hu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "Like Inspector Xu, if you want to get out of the prison, you need three thousand taels of silver, and if you want to unblock the mansion, you need to get an additional five hundred taels. If you want to be reinstated, you need to get 500 taels of silver."

Add another five hundred taels."

He paused and saw that Eunuch Xu's face was not very good, so he sighed and said: "Eunuch Xu, this is not a price for a humble position, but for a person from the Ministry of Punishment."

"Prisoner Hu, don't worry too much..."

Xu Boqing also knew that he, the Prison Superintendent, was just a facade, and that the Criminal Department behind him was the one in charge, so there was no need to be angry with others.

After thinking about it, he casually took out the money bag from his arms, poured the eight large gold ingots inside on the table, and then pushed it in front of Prison Secretary Hu.

"There are eighty taels of gold here, priced at eight hundred taels of silver, which is the deposit for my redemption. I will collect the remaining funds for the redemption within half a month. I hope that Prison Secretary Hu will help take care of me during this period."

Second uncle’s family.”

Prison Secretary Hu's eyes lit up a bit when he saw the gold in front of him. He calmly took the eight gold ingots into his pocket, and directly confirmed with a smile on his old face: "Don't worry, father-in-law. In the sky prison, you have to hold a humble position."

I will definitely not let Inspector Xu suffer at all."

"Thank you very much."

Xu Boqing stood up and cupped his hands and said, "It's already getting late. We've visited our relatives, drank tea, and talked about business. It's inconvenient for me to bother Chief Hu anymore."

When Prison Secretary Hu saw that the God of Wealth was about to leave, he also stood up and said, "Inspector Xu should have been transferred to prison. Why don't you come back after meeting me?"

After Xu Boqing thought about it for a while, he nodded and said, "It would be better to explain it before returning to the palace, so as to save them from worrying."

"Eunuch Xu, please."

After the two of them were released from the prison cell, chatting and laughing, they went directly to the prison under the leadership of the jailer...

Different from the darkness and cramped conditions of prison, not only is the air circulation and light good, the food is also quite exquisite, bedding and toiletries are all available, and there is no sense of prison at all.

When he passed by a cell, he even saw an arrogant and surly young man playing with women inside...

The young man also noticed that someone was looking at him. When he saw that the person outside was wearing a eunuch uniform, he seemed to have seen something interesting and became more and more excited...

He shouted wantonly: "Little eunuch, hahahaha... little eunuch..."

Prison Secretary Hu was like an ostrich, nodding and hunching down, not daring to speak, and a layer of cold sweat seemed to break out on his forehead.

Xu Boqing shook his head and ignored him...

There is no need to think about it, that young man is so arrogant in Tianlao, he must be the son of some powerful family.

After they were out of the confines of the cell, Prison Secretary Hu cautiously came over and explained: "Father, the young man just now is the second son of Prime Minister Zhang. His words were very offensive. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly and said casually: "There is a way to catch people's madness, so I won't get angry with him."

Prison Secretary Hu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Prime Minister Zhang's full name is Zhang Song, and he is the Right Prime Minister of the current imperial court. Queen Zhang in the harem is his daughter, and the prince in the East Palace also calls him grandpa.

The emperor ignored the government affairs, and most of the government affairs in the court were handled by his father-in-law. It can be said that he was one of the most powerful figures at the top of the Yonghe Dynasty.

For the second son of such a character, it was just a formality to take him to the prison. If nothing else happened, he wouldn't even spend the night here...

Because I am often blocked by review...

There are some places that are not easy to read, so book friends can mention them...

I am ready to change...
