"To reply to Eunuch Xu, the younger one was yesterday..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Okay, stop talking."

When Xiao Niuzi opened his mouth to speak, Xu Guang almost spit out the tea in his mouth. It was as if he had eaten wax and not a single word could be heard from him.

"Excuse me, Eunuch Xu. This kid is a bit arrogant. We need to discipline him."

"So that's how it is. That's right. Some servants need to be disciplined, or else you'll forget their last names. In fact, they're just dogs."

Xu Guang did not want to be outdone and responded with a salute.

The two men looked calm on the surface, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that both of them were veiledly criticizing each other. In any case, neither of them would submit to the other.

"Oh, by the way, Eunuch Xu, you came here so early, I'm sure you didn't just come to ask for a cup of tea."

Eunuch Wu knew very well that he was being cursed in secret, but he did not show his anger, nor did he continue to play the lip-syncing game with Xu Guang. If he continued, it would create friction.

Xu Guang coughed lightly, "Someone came to report early this morning that two eunuchs working in the alley were missing. We searched the entire torture chamber, but now we can't find them alive or dead."

The alley is actually a prison in the torture chamber. It is a long road with rows of houses on both sides. There are such alleys in other places in Yeyouting. The one in the torture chamber is relatively smaller, so it is called an alley.

What Xu Guang meant by this was very clear, that is, the two people must be dead, otherwise they would not be found, and no escape could occur in Yeyouting.

"Then Eunuch Xu came to my place so early in the morning. Could he be here to investigate our family?"

Eunuch Wu's expression was very calm. In his eyes, the death of two unknown eunuchs was no big deal at all.

Of course, there wouldn't be any ripples in Xu Guang's heart, and he would not seriously ask about this matter. It was nothing more than that he deliberately arranged these two eunuchs in the alley to make money for him.

Being a menial eunuch guarding the alleys was considered a lucrative job. In order to suffer less, those criminals or concubines who had made mistakes would naturally spend money to bribe them if they could.

However, the two eunuchs only drank some soup, and most of the money went into Xu Guang's pocket.

Xu Guangyin laughed, "Look at what your brother said. Even if these two eunuchs offended your eunuch Wu, they deserved to die. What can I say...

Don't get me wrong, I just came here to ask a question. After all, these two eunuchs have been with me for quite some time, and I can't let them die in such an unclear way. Otherwise, who would be willing to work in this torture chamber in the future, and I, a wealthy man, would be left alone."

"Well, everyone in my medical department is here. If you have any questions, just ask, Eunuch Xu."

Eunuch Wu had nothing to say. After all, Xu Guang was his superior, and who would dare to openly go against the rules of the palace?

Xu Guang's face flashed with a hint of pride, and he continued, "Eunuch Wu and the two guys on your side had contact with the two young eunuchs yesterday. I wonder what happened?"

"What Eunuch Xu said is very interesting. He suspects that the death of the two eunuchs is related to our family."

"Don't be angry. I have to give an explanation to my superiors. We should handle official business impartially and deal with the matter objectively. The two eunuchs had contact with you before they died. Theoretically, there is a possibility of conflict. Eunuch Wu, do you think this is the case?"

"Okay, it's true that I went to look for those two eunuchs, including Little Stick and Little Bull, and my family admitted that. As for why, I can tell you the truth. I wonder if Eunuch Xu is interested in listening?

Also, since we are talking about this, may I ask what is going on with Eunuch Xu's bath tub number 17? I have been in this palace for decades and have never heard of such a rule."

Eunuch Wu spoke in a haughty manner, which made Xu Guang feel deflated and his face looked unhappy.

Xing Bang was secretly impressed. This eunuch Wu was indeed a man who had been eating salt for a few years. He still knew how to be wise with age.

"Brother Wu, you are too serious. Is it necessary for us to argue about this?

They are just two eunuchs. Since you have said so, I will not ask any more questions about this matter."

Xu Guang originally wanted to defeat Eunuch Wu, but he was outmaneuvered and was speechless. Although it was not his idea to send the bathtub, he could only laugh it off. If he said too much, he would suffer the consequences.

Xu Guang knew very well that Wu Jing was trying to trick him. They were all thousand-year-old foxes, so who would be fooled by you?

However, he also didn't understand why Lord Ye Ting Ling asked him to deliver bathing items and change of clothes to Madam Fanghua. At the same time, he also realized that Wu Jing seemed to be unaware of this matter.

In short, he was also confused and was just following orders.

"Thank you very much, Brother Xu."

Eunuch Wu smiled with his face but his tone was full of triumph.

"Brother Wu, even if this matter is over, I came here early in the morning because I have something to discuss with you."

"Brother, you are joking. You are Lord Shefu. If there is any official matter, just talk about it. It is our duty to do what we can."

Eunuch Wu laughed insincerely.

Xu Guang smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, brother. You know that we are already short of manpower. Once these two eunuchs die, there will be a shortage of manpower in the alley."

As he said that, Xu Guang looked at Xing Bang and said, "I want to transfer Xiao Bangzi over to support us for a while. I wonder if it's convenient for Brother Wu?

Of course, Xiaobangzi is still your man. If your brother needs anything from him, just ask him at any time. I wanted to transfer Xiaoniuzi over temporarily, but your brother can't be without someone around him, so I'll let Xiaobangzi take over for a while."

Wu Jingwei frowned as if he was thinking about something, and cursed Xu Guang in his heart, saying that he was putting on airs even to his head.

"I know I'm putting you in a difficult position. You don't have many people here, and you know that working in the alleys is not something you can just pick anyone to do. Someone who's stupid won't work. I think the little Korean is smart and suitable.

Alas, this job of mine is not easy, so I hope you can help me."

Xu Guang looked miserable and in trouble, but he was indeed a good material for being an official. Not only could he handle both big and small matters, but he was also very good at speaking in an official tone.

"Brother Xu has said so. For both public and private reasons, it seems that we cannot refuse...

Well, you can take the little stick away later."

Xu Guang immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you are so generous. I would like to thank you for being here."

"You're welcome. Let's leave it at that."

After saying this, Eunuch Wu picked up the tea bowl and started drinking. His meaning was obvious: good bye, I won’t see you off.

Of course Xing Bang was willing to work in the alleys. He would be freer there and could meet more people.

"It's really strange, why can this old eunuch Wu Jing be so happy?"
