Chapter 110 What is the West Factory?
"Empress Zhang's letter?"
"Yes, the Empress Dowager asked Bei Yi to bring his clothes for the governor, and they also placed them in the stronghold..."
Xu Boqing nodded slightly and waved his hand to indicate to them to lead the way.
It is common for the Queen Mother to deliver clothes. Although Queen Zhang had a deep and simple relationship, everyone was just making a deal. Afterwards, it was clear that they had a good time. What is the meaning of sending letters now?
But if you think about it carefully, it was a big help to her no matter what. It was reasonable to write a thank you letter...
He didn't think too much and asked casually: "When did you come to this Xingyuan Mansion?"
"Report to the Lord, I just arrived five days ago..."
"How did the matter with the Fierce Tiger Sect be handled?"
“…”
Jiang Jin and Kong Qing both paused when they heard this. After looking at each other, they looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer...
Seeing this, Xu Boqing glanced at them with a frown and asked, "But something unexpected happened?"
"Report to the Lord, something happened..."
Jiang Jin said carefully: "I received the news from the secret spies below a month ago. The evil tiger gate was empty at the beginning of last month..."
He paused, and then said, "After coming to Xingyuan Mansion, Bei Zhi personally took people to the villa where the Fierce Humen was located, and he investigated. There was indeed no one left, and the things had been moved away long ago..."
"Is the building empty at the beginning of last month?"
Xu Boqing paused and asked with a frown: "What do you mean is that the evil tiger sect had moved away with people and things last month!?"
"yes…"
Seeing that the Supervisor's face was not happy or angry, Jiang Jin said with shame: "I also want to send someone to inform the Supervisor of this matter, but the people below cannot find the Supervisor, so please punish the Supervisor."
"This is not your fault..."
Xu Boqing waved his hand, thinking tightly...
Deng Jian, the leader of the evil tiger sect, was the five people who assassinated Emperor Yonghe, and one of the people General Manager Huang called for...
Could it be that Deng Jian saw that Prajna Temple was suppressed and the Five Poisons Sects were destroyed, and he knew that he was the next target, so he ran away early?
But time doesn't match!
It was extremely difficult for people to flow information at that time. In addition to the information such as 800 miles of rush, ordinary people often need to deliver a letter that crossed the prefecture for several months.
The Evil Humen was empty at the beginning of last month, and it abandoned its family business and left its hometown, so it definitely took time to prepare...
Then weren’t they ready to run away when the Five Poison Sect was just destroyed or before it was destroyed?
It's definitely not because of this...
That……
Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of another possibility...
The West Factory was just established and its actions were not very ostentatious. Not to mention the world, the West Factory did everything in the palace, and only a small number of people knew...
Is it possible that the people in the palace were venting their anger with the fierce tiger sect in advance!?
"Oh……"
Xu Boqing seemed to have thought of something and sneered, "What about Chongxu Sect and Zhujian Villa? Is it just like this fierce tiger sect that has left empty houses?"
“…”
A layer of fine beads of sweat spilled out of Jiang Jin's forehead, and he said carefully: "The Lord of the Supervisor clearly observed the blood, and the Chongxu Sect was indeed empty; Zhujian Villa had already closed the village to thank the guests, so it was almost done."
It's true!
Xu Boqing sighed in his heart and said, "There are many disciples of the Fierce Humen, and there must be someone who is unwilling to abandon his family business. Have you found out where Deng Jian went?"
"Time is too hasty, so I only found a little clue. Please supervise the supervisor and punish..."
"It's okay, let's talk about it in detail..."
Jiang Jin thought about it and said seriously: "Recently, there are rebellious and riots around Jiangnan Prefecture, and all over the country are recruiting soldiers...
Beizhi found out that some of the children of the evil tiger sect were dismissed, and most of the remaining ones were recruited and sent to the south..."
He paused, and then said in shame: "As for whether Deng Jian was mixed in, it is unknown whether he was humble."
"Recruiting troops? Going to the south..."
Xu Boqing's eyes were slightly condensed, and he keenly realized that there might be something strange behind the recruitment...
Confucianism uses literature to disrupt law, and heroes use martial arts to violate the ban...
Most people in the world are rebellious, despised the king's laws, and regarded the people in the court as hawks and dogs, especially the great sects with some background, which is even stronger...
Now he is a recruit to suppress the rebellion?
"Report to the Lord..."
Kong Qing looked forward with a slight look, saying, "I came from a military force and knew a lot about the generals in the army, so I found some clues."
"explain……"
"The Jiangnan Prefecture has a superior climate, abundant food and sufficient grass, and those rebellions have obviously been planned for a long time. Since the uprising, it has become a climate like a prairie fire."
Kong Qing said seriously: "Although Your Majesty sent a general to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, this chaos may not be completely suppressed for a while, or even for two consecutive years.
In recent years, the neighboring Song State has been fine, but the Great Zhou is eyeing it and the border defense is also tight...
Therefore, most of the troops that suppressed the rebellion were drawn from the places of the prefectures, and the troops who were responsible for the dispatch of the surrounding areas of Xingyuan Prefecture were General Xinwei Zhou Xuan.
Moreover, Bei Zhi also found out that all the people from the Fierce Humen were dispatched from him..."
Xu Boqing frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Since he knew that the people from the Fierce Humen were dispatched from General Xinwei, wouldn't it be enough to arrest him and interrogate him?"
“…”
Kong Qing said embarrassedly: "The Lord, General Xinwei, Zhou Xuan, is a second-rank military officer personally enthroned by His Majesty, the father of Concubine Zhou, and the three-sided governor of the Xingyuan Prefecture and the surrounding two prefectures..."
“Oh~”
Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully and smiled inexplicably: "So, is our General Xinwei still a rank of officials with military power?"
"yes…"
Kong Qing nodded with a dark face and said, "When I came here, I went to his mansion to investigate, but I was turned away and was kicked out without seeing anyone else."
"When I showed up, I brought a gold medal?"
"Take it..."
Xu Boqing sneered, "Lead the way!"
“…”
Seeing that the two were still confused, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What? He took action first and then reported. The Western Factory, which is licensed by the imperial power, is he afraid that he is a small second-rank military officer?"
"Receive the order from a humble position!!"
Jiang Jin and Kong Qing also reacted, and grinned and led the way forward to the Governor's Mansion...
When I arrived at the Governor's Mansion, I saw that the gate of Zhu Hong Mansion was closed. Not only were there two huge animal stone sculptures standing in front of the door, but there were also two rows of soldiers guarding the door, which was very grand...
When the soldiers saw someone coming, they immediately stopped him with weapons and asked, "This is the Governor's Office, and idle people are not allowed to enter."
"Blind dog eyes!!"
At this time, Kong Qing had someone supported him, stared at him and took out the imperial gold medal from his body, scolding him: "Your Majesty is here to give the gold medal. Governor Xu has the emperor's order to find General Xinwei. How many courage do you have to block the way to the emperor here?"
“…”
The two soldiers blocking the road saw the words "Xichang" on the gold medal and couldn't help but look at each other. They thought that this person had not even allowed him to enter the gate a few days ago, and immediately sneered.
"What is the West Factory?"
"The monk dares to come to the gate of the Governor's Mansion to sing..."
Before they could finish their words, the two of them flew backwards and hit the Zhuhong gate firmly, not knowing life and death.
Just as everyone was still stunned, Xu Boqing hooked his fingers, and the beastly stone sculpture beside the door soared into the air, and rushed out to smash the gate of the Governor's Mansion to pieces!
With a roar, the stone carving broke through the door and rolled into the courtyard, splashing gravels and dust.
"go……"
Xu Boqing glanced at the scared soldiers in front of the door and said calmly: "I asked Zhou Xuan to come out to see me, and then I said that the Western Factory's man is here to find him."
“…”
