"Eunuch Wu, what do you want me to do?"
Xing Bang had just returned to the police station and had not yet sat down when Xiao Jinzi said that Wu Jing had been there before he came back and asked him to go there immediately after he returned.
There is naturally nothing to say about this. Now, no matter whether it is civil or military or gang robbing gangs, you, Wu Jing, are not one of them.
There couldn't be anything else, it must be Madam Fanghua's business. Although Empress Xiao was in Qingliang Palace, she could send people around her to deliver messages at any time. Her most capable and loyal Li Lianying was not with her.
Wu Jing's face was gloomy, and he was not as happy as last time when he drank. He must have been scolded by Queen Xiao.
"Little Korean, tell me the truth. Did you do something behind my back?"
"Father, what do you mean? Heaven and earth can attest to my loyalty to you. I have always followed your instructions and have never had any second thoughts."
Xing Bang glared and lied without blushing or getting nervous.
It was obvious that Empress Xiao was naturally upset. She had kept Madam Fanghua plump and fair, and looked healthy and particularly happy. How could she enjoy such a good life in the torture chamber?
Moreover, even if Wu Jing was reprimanded by Queen Xiao, he would not say anything wrong about Xing Bang. He was loyal to the party. If he tried to shirk responsibility and blame Xing Bang now, wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?
More importantly, Xing Bang has always acted flawlessly and has never disobeyed Wu Jing's intentions. Moreover, everything has been completed well as scheduled. There is no evidence or reason to suspect him.
Therefore, Wu Jing could only keep it to himself and swallow his anger.
"Ah, delivering medicine, the incident with the Sixth Prince... After thinking about it, we are all doing what the Empress wants. Maybe Madam Fanghua is blessed by God."
Wu Jing felt aggrieved, and he didn't feel guilty at all when he tried to blow up the Xing stick, but it might have made the boy unhappy.
Xing Bang smiled in his heart and corrected himself, saying that what he said was true, but the God was me.
"Eunuch, were you reprimanded by someone sent by the Queen?"
"It's nothing. In the final analysis, it's because we servants didn't do our job well..."
Wu Jing sighed, it was obvious that he understood everything.
"Eunuch, don't blame yourself too much. I know what happened in Qingliang Palace. The Queen is just unhappy for a while. I don't think she is really dissatisfied with you. We still have to count on you in the future."
"Little Korean, I was just in a hurry just now. I absolutely believe in your loyalty. I hope you don't take it to heart."
After hearing Xing Bang's words, Wu Jing obviously felt better and was not as arrogant as before. He simply lowered his posture and apologized to appease him.
"Eunuch, you are too kind. I still have to say that without you, Eunuch Wu, I would not be where I am today. No matter what happens, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
What Xing Bang said was not completely nonsense, he could have killed Wu Jing with a slap without blinking an eye, but he was really grateful. Thank you for bringing him to this torture chamber, which saved him twenty years of hard work!
However, from Wu Jing's words, Queen Xiao did not doubt Xing Bang, otherwise Wu Jing would not be so confused and doubt whether he had made a mistake.
"Good little Korean, we believe in you and will never treat you unfairly in the future.
If you don't mind, just recognize me as your godfather, and we will share the glory and disgrace in the future!"
Wu Jing looked relieved...
Damn, that’s wishful thinking. Even if you acknowledge me as your godfather, it’s not possible.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, father-in-law, but I'm afraid I don't have this blessing. You have always been so good to me. In fact, I have thought about this problem for a long time. The reason why I haven't spoken up yet is that I really can't harm you, father-in-law!"
"Hmm? Why is that?"
Wu Jing was shocked, as if having a godfather could kill someone.
Xing Bang suddenly had an idea and had already thought of a way to explain it...
"Father-in-law, you don't know. When I was a child, I was weak and sickly. My father asked a half-god to see me. He said that I had some bad luck. I don't understand the details of what he said. Anyway, he asked me to find a godfather to eliminate the disaster. Later, my father went around asking people for help and finally found a childless man to be his godfather...
But within two days, my godfather was killed by a bolt of lightning while collecting herbs in the mountains, and another one…"
There is no defense for this reason. We are more ruthless than Lu Bu, so there is no need to stab him.
"Okay, little Korean, just pretend I didn't say anything about this. It's actually nothing. As long as we have a good relationship, we don't have to stick to these formalities..."
Wu Jing interrupted Xing Bang without waiting for him to finish. He had been curious about this little Bang before. He seemed quite smart. The dead little calf even knew to recognize his godfather. Now he finally knew what was going on. It turned out that this kid was unlucky in the face of his father. No, he was unlucky in the face of his relatives. He entered the palace to become a eunuch because all his family members died.
"Eunuch, I am telling the truth. I am not unwilling... However, I may have changed my fate by becoming a eunuch in the palace!"
People in this world believe in this...
"We trust you. We won't mention this matter again, and you don't have to take it to heart!"
Wu Jing quickly waved his hand and refused. Are you kidding? This kind of thing is not a joke. I still want to live two more days...
"Well, I'll listen to you. I won't think about having a godfather anymore."
Xing Bang was trying not to laugh. The old man really believed in fate. His face turned slightly pale with fear. He hadn’t even mentioned that his second godfather had fallen into a manure pit and died…
"Oh, by the way, little Korean, didn't you find 20,000 taels of silver from Xu Guang last time and give it to our family? Now we are giving you the silver, and the 10,000 taels are some of our savings..."
Wu Jing suddenly took out a number of silver bills from the cabinet and handed them to Xing Bang.
"Father-in-law, what do you mean? This money is too small to take. You should keep it for your old age, right?"
Xing Bang was a little confused. What was going on? He even had to pay interest of 10,000 taels.
"You can take it. I've thought about it again and again. You are very wise. We are old and don't have that much energy. We still have money for our coffin. You can keep the money and make more connections. If you have this intention, when you become successful in the future, you will forget about us."
"Father-in-law, this... well, I won't let you down..."
Xing Bang took the banknote. Wu Jing's sudden change of heart could only be attributed to Empress Xiao's reprimand.
…
Shouning Palace.
"My lady, it's all because of your incompetence that you have suffered so much..."
Empress Xiao went back and sulked in silence. Li Lianying stood by for a long time before he dared to say a word of comfort to her.
"Okay, don't mention this anymore. Give the order. I want to take a good bath to get rid of the bad luck on my body..."
"Yes, my lady!"
Li Lianying was delighted, thinking that everything would be easy as long as he was not angry.
Just as he was about to turn around to make arrangements, Empress Xiao called him again, frowned slightly as if she had thought of something, and then slowly said: "Send someone to the torture chamber now and call Little Stick to me..."
