Chapter 78 Jade Pendant…

Xu Boqing dismissed the nearby people who were joining in the fun, and comforted the frightened girls of Siqingfang. Then he glanced at the second floor of Siqingfang before leading them away.

And when he was looking at the second floor, Zhu Sisi was also looking at him in front of the mirror...

The two people's eyes seemed to have passed through many rooms, passed through layers of walls, passed through mirrors, and merged together, but soon they became separated again...

Zhu Sisi's face was gloomy and uncertain, and she snorted coldly when she saw his back walking away.

She gently opened her thin lips and sucked the wine on the mirror into her mouth, and the picture in the mirror disappeared...

Pushing open the door and going out, she saw a group of girls downstairs gathering together to discuss what had just happened in a low voice. She frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

But the girls downstairs are different...

Although the farce that just happened has subsided, the guests have also been dismissed. Now that there is nothing to do, the discussion naturally started...

When discussing Mr. Xu, his mother, who shared the same room with him, was naturally among the topics they discussed.

Now that I see my 'mother' coming out, how can I hold back my gossiping heart?

Yingying Yanyan crowded onto the second floor...

"Mom, Mom, you came out late. You didn't see that Mr. Xu was so powerful just now. If he just said one word, the dog official will have his house confiscated and beheaded..."

"Mom, Mom, I heard from Yiyi and the others that Mr. Xu asked his mother to accompany him by name yesterday~ Hee hee, is Mr. Xu strong at that?"

"Mom, how does it taste?"

"Mom, don't hide your secrets, just tell us~"

"..."

Zhu Sisi saw the girls staring at her with bright eyes, and goosebumps appeared on her body.

In order not to lose her dignity, she reprimanded with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu."

"Huh……"

All the girls in Siqingfang booed, with expressions on their faces like "Mom, do you think we are fools?"

One of the girls named Yiyi had a hint of joking on her face. She raised her eyebrows and took out a jade pendant with a clear water color and a warm color.

Then he raised the jade pendant in his hand and shouted: "Oh, my daughter has a bad memory. I forgot to mention that Mr. Xu asked his daughter to give this jade pendant to her mother before he left..."

"..."

When the girls around him heard this, they all exclaimed. They all raised their hands and tried to snatch it away. They all shouted things like: 'Let me see it quickly', 'Mom has nothing to do with Mr. Xu, let me see it too','

Words like "This jade pendant is so beautiful".

Na Yiyi is also a master who is not afraid of big things, and said like a fire: "Sisters, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, my mother said that it has nothing to do with Mr. Xu, and I will probably not accept this jade pendant. Let's appreciate it slowly...

"

"..."

Zhu Sisi looked at the jade pendant in confusion...

Seeing a group of girls chatting and playing with their jade pendants like a quarrel, they gnashed their teeth and cursed in their hearts that Thief Xu was restless even after he left.

Seeing the jade pendant being handed to her, a blue-white color flashed across her face...

After coming back to his senses, he took the jade pendant with a cold snort, said "Don't bother me" and then returned to the room.

Only a group of girls were left looking at each other...

………………

A group of supervisors from the West Factory led people to search the house.

Xu Boqing, on the other hand, took a few heads from Qiufeng Village and bought some drinks, tributes, and paper money on the way out of the city...

After arriving at the mass grave, paying homage to the family members and servants of the original owner, it can be considered as fulfilling the promise I made when I first came to this world, and settling the cause and effect...

On the way back to Hongyang, Jiang Jin was the only confidant (carrying things) who came with him. With the idea of ​​​​sharing the worries for the governor, he hesitantly asked: "Master, this mess of graves is in such a panic, how about you?"

…”

"No need..."

Xu Boqing glanced at him and knew what he wanted to say, so he said casually: "In our hometown, it is important to rest in the ground. If it is not necessary, we should not move it easily."

"You deserve to die for your humble job..."

"..."

When they returned to Hongyang City, they saw that Li Lezhi, the former Yin of Hongyang City, had taken off his official uniform, taken off his official hat, and was hung on the city gate.

Down below, the second-in-command of Xichang and Hongyang Yamen were loudly criticizing his various crimes...

More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. When they heard about this person's past misdeeds and the various dirty tricks he had used to compete with the people, they all became extremely angry...

As the first egg was thrown at his face, the rest of the people also woke up. Those with rotten vegetable leaves threw rotten vegetable leaves, those with eggs threw eggs, and those without anything went to the roadside to pick up pebbles and smash them.

past……

Regarding this kind of thing, both the people in Xichang and the officers and soldiers in Hongyang City turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen it...

"Tsk tsk..."

Seeing this, Xu Boqing sneered and said, "I can't believe that such a small city official would be hated by so many people."

"This man is greedy by nature and would not regret his death."

Jiang Jin stepped forward and explained: "My humble investigation found that in most of the famous luxury places in Hongyang City, he used some underhanded methods to extort bribes, and collected dividends every year. Some of them were even his own property."

.

Not only that…

I also found out that his family members, relying on his connections, were roaming the countryside and occupying farmland, so that most of the farmland in the countryside outside Hongyang City had the surname Li, and the people were filled with resentment.

Now that the instigator has fallen from power, no matter whether they are property owners in the city or old farmers in the countryside outside the city, they all applaud and praise the governor for eliminating harm to the people."

"Insatiable accumulation, insatiable desire..."

Xu Boqing couldn't help but sigh. Previously, he only knew that Hongyang City Yin was not a good person, but he really didn't know that he could be so corrupt...

"Then we've done a good thing."

Jiang Jin also heard the ridicule in the governor's words, and flattered him with a shy face: "The governor is your majesty's appointed minister of the country. Naturally, everything he does is a good deed for the people."

"Ah…"

Xu Boqing shook his head with a smile and said, "If nothing happens, let's go to Yin's house in Hongyang City. I'm also curious about how much family property he embezzled during his tenure."

"yes…"

By the time the two arrived at Hongyang Chengyin's residence, all Li Lezhi's family members and servants had been taken away for investigation.

In the mansion, more than a dozen gentlemen and accountants who had been hired by Xichang to help sort out the supplies were sweating profusely, fearing that something might go wrong.

Seeing that the governor was slightly confused, Jiang Jin hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Master, Li Lezhi has a lot of wealth, and it's easy to sort out things like gold and silver.

But for items of unknown value, such as jade artifacts, land deeds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, these gentlemen and accountants need to come forward to estimate the approximate value."

"I see…"

Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully.

In my previous life, I read in the news that when some huge corrupt people were arrested, their families had so much money that they couldn't count it with several money detectors. Now these gentleman accountants are like humanoid 'money detectors'.

That’s interesting…

At this moment, he suddenly heard several women crying and begging for mercy from the inner courtyard...

Could it be that someone under my command is using this to do bad things!?

Xu Boqing frowned slightly...

He himself is lustful, likes women, and likes new tricks, but he never likes to use force.

Not to mention the Queen Mother and Concubine Liu...

Empress Zhang's deal was mainly because she misunderstood the Queen Mother's intention. In addition, Empress Zhang herself was half-hearted, so it was not considered strong.

And Zhu Sisi wanted to use the magic weapon. He didn't know how powerful the magic weapon was and whether it would hurt him, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut to save his life...

Although later he got tricked and the taste of self-preservation changed, but it was also based on Zhu Sisi's previous promise, and it was not considered strong...

Now that Xichang has confiscated people's family assets, the female relatives in the mansion will also be sent to the priest's office. What can be solved with some money in two days, why do you need to force it now?

The people under his command were careless in their work. As the governor of the West Factory, Xu Boqing naturally felt that his face was dull...

Then he walked over with a cold snort, wanting to see who the bastard was who did such a shameful thing.

When he got there, he saw that his subordinates were indeed being raped, but the force was different from what he thought...
