The three bodies in the courtyard were none other than Xu Guang and the two maids who served him...
It was really desolate. It was just thrown in the yard without even being covered.
I guess after being taken away, it was thrown into a cemetery to feed stray dogs or something.
"Xu Guang, I don't wish you to rest in peace, I wish you to be reborn as a pig in your next life!"
Xing Bang glanced at it and thought to himself, and was about to step into the room when he suddenly thought of something...
"Xiao Jinzi, what if I really get promoted and have to run a long way..."
"That's not possible. I have a hundred taels of silver here..."
Xiao Jinzi seemed to have prepared it in advance and took it out from his arms before Xing Bang finished speaking.
Xing Bang smiled slightly and took the banknote without any hesitation, "Thank you very much!"
"Master Xing, what are you talking about? This is my duty to honor you."
Xing Bang didn't say much, he just took the banknotes and went into the house.
You are smart, this money originally belongs to me, and the money left by Xu Guang must also be dug out...
Enter the main room.
"Little stick boy, meet the father-in-law!"
"You are the little stick?"
The eunuch who was sitting in the high seat stood up and looked Xing Bang up and down.
"That's right, little one!"
The messenger eunuch picked up the clothes and hat on the table, then cleared his throat and said, "Little Stick, by order of Eunuch Cao, from today on, you will take over Xu Guang's position as the stingy man in the Baoshi."
"Thank you, Eunuch Cao, for your support!"
Xing Bang took the clothes and hat, turned around and handed them to Xiao Jinzi who followed him, then took out the one hundred taels of silver note.
"You've worked so hard on this mission, a little money for the wine is not enough of a respect!"
"Oh, how sorry we are..."
The messenger eunuch spoke politely, glanced at the banknote, then took the banknote from Xing Bang's hand without hesitation and put it in his arms with a smile on his face.
Obviously, one hundred taels is not a small amount, as the monthly salary is only two taels of silver.
Xing Bang smiled slightly, then turned around and said, "Xiao Jinzi, why don't you quickly change another cup of tea for your father-in-law."
The messenger eunuch pinched his orchid fingers and said, "Don't bother, I will go back and report right away."
"Since you are not able to stay for long, I will not keep you any longer. Please take care on your journey."
The messenger eunuch said something polite and left. The bodies of Xu Guang and the two maids were thrown onto a cart by the people he brought with him, and they walked away in such a swagger.
"Congratulations, Master Xing, on being promoted to the position of a wealthy husband. I will help you change your clothes!"
Xing Bang nodded, and Xiao Jinzi immediately spread out the clothes, looking envious and excited.
The hat had a golden longevity character embroidered on it, and the clothes had a crotch and were embroidered with quail patterns, but they looked much better than what he was wearing.
Although it was only a small eighth-rank rank, it could be considered as a career in officialdom.
"Master Xing, be energetic!"
After Xing Bang put on the new clothes, Xiao Jinzi gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
At this time, Xiao Zhuzi, who always followed Xu Guang closely, walked in in panic and knelt directly in front of Xing Bang.
"Your servant Xiao Zhuzi pays homage to Eunuch Xing."
"Xiao Zhuzi, what have you been doing sneaking around? I haven't seen you for a long time."
Xiao Jinzi asked harshly without waiting for Xing Bang to speak.
Xing Bang didn't care. He knew that Xiao Jinzi was not as favored as Xiao Zhuzi in front of Xu Guang. It could be seen from the fact that it was always him who led the way and fanned the child. Now he could finally feel proud.
"Well, my stomach is not feeling well, so I'm going to the toilet..."
Xiao Zhuzi's body trembled slightly and he answered hesitantly.
"Okay, you get up first. Eunuch Xu is gone. As long as you work hard, I won't treat you unfairly."
Xing Bang interrupted Xiao Jinzi who was about to ask more questions. It was obvious that Xiao Zhuzi was lying, but now was not the time to ask more questions. If he was hiding something, it would be exposed soon.
Of course, if he has any evil intentions, just let him go down to accompany Xu Guang...
"Okay, Xiao Zhuzi, there's nothing to do here. Since you're not feeling well, go down and rest."
Xiao Zhuzi stood up tremblingly and left.
"Master Xing, there must be something wrong with this kid. Why did you just let him go like that?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at Xiao Zhuzi with dissatisfaction as he left, and spoke hurriedly.
Xing Bang waved his hands and smiled: "It's okay, Xu Guang is not as stinky as dog shit."
“You are…”
Facing Xiao Jinzi's puzzled look, Xing Bang continued, "By the way, Xiao Jinzi, you should know that Xu Guang has hidden a lot of filth. You should know where these things are, right?"
Xiao Jinzi naturally understood everything. "Master Xing, you know that I followed Xu Guang just to run errands. I don't know where he hid the embezzled things, but Xiao Zhuzi should know more than me."
This guy was quite smart and was directly accused of corruption.
"Since you know better than me, I'll leave this matter to you."
Xing Bang thought that it was very likely that he was in this room, so he would not be afraid of flying if he came here in the future. However, it would be better to dig out clues from Xiao Zhuzi's mouth.
"Yes, Mr. Xing trusts me so much, just wait and see. I will find the silver for you even if I have to dig three feet deep."
Xiao Jinzi expressed his determination passionately.
Xing Bang coughed lightly, "Be careful, it's not for me. Since it's the money Xu Guang embezzled, it's naturally for everyone's benefit..."
"Yes, yes, Master Xing is right. I said the wrong thing."
