I am building a fairy garden on earth

Chapter 90 The River Festival
Although the Five Poisons Sect only has a few hundred members, the area of ​​Xiyu Valley is not small, and because of the special terrain, it is difficult to search...

The secret agents of the West Factory and the government servants searched for two days, and only after confirming that no one was missed, did they dare to go back and report...

At this time, the Governor of Jiangling Mansion followed Jiang Jin and his party, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said good things, and asked the governor many times cryptically what items he liked. He tried his best and showed his kindness...

Although he is not in the center of power, he also understands what powers such as 'supervising all officials', 'beheading first and playing later', and 'imperial franchise' represent.

And the governors of Xichang also knew that although the governor of Jiangling Mansion was not an honest official, he was also a capable person who was willing to do practical things for the people, so they comforted him and didn't make things difficult for him.

When they got back to the mansion, they tidied up and went to meet the governor.

At this time, Xu Boqing happened to be tired of reading, so he played with the little kingfisher in the yard in his spare time...

Seeing Jiang Jin and the Governor of Jiangling Mansion coming hand in hand, he asked casually, "Is the matter settled?"

"To the Lord..."

Jiang Jin came forward with a roster in his hand and said: "The humble official has sent people to search all over Xiyu Valley, and captured a total of 630 or eight thieves from the Five Poison Sect. All of them have been locked up in the dungeon. Please take a look."

"Um…"

Xu Boqing took the roster and flipped through it casually, seeming to have thought of something, and said: "Your Majesty needs to clarify the canonical punishment, and pick some people from here to escort back to Beijing."

"Yes…"

Jiang Jin hesitated for a while, and asked, "Master, what should we do with the remaining people?"

"Kill what should be killed, shut what should be closed, and let what should be released."

"Yes!"

"By the way, there is one more thing..."

Xu Boqing pondered for a while.Said: "This time you are responsible for detaining people back to Beijing, and I will not go back with you."

"Ah, this..."

Jiang Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then he also reacted, and asked cautiously: "The Governor intends to go directly to Xingyuan Mansion?"

"good…"

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, and explained: "The journey is already long, and it would be a waste of time to escort prisoners back and forth. I will go directly to Xingyuan Mansion and wait for you."

He paused, pondered for a moment and said: "There are many of you, don't rush to meet me, you can arrive at Xingyuan Mansion within three to two months."

"In BC..."

"That's fine, you can deal with the rest..."

Xu Boqing's voice paused, as if he had thought of something, he frowned slightly and asked, "Xichang's spies are all over Daliang, I'm in Xingyuan Mansion, can you find me?"

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Jin's breathing was stagnant, and a thin layer of cold sweat burst out of his back instantly, even his legs and feet were a little weak.

In an instant, it reminded me that when I was in Hongyang, my group failed to pass the "assessment" of the Governor.

Now that the governor mentioned the matter of finding someone again, he must be beating himself! !

"how?"

Seeing his frightened appearance, Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't want to take this job? Or is it difficult to find someone in the West Factory?"

"No no no..."

Jiang Jin hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said with a choked voice: "The low-ranking people are not doing their job effectively, the Governor not only didn't blame him, but also rewarded him a lot...

Now that I have given such an opportunity again, my humble job... I feel very grateful for my humble job. "

"Don't be too polite..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly. Considering that he escorted the prisoner back to the capital, he would definitely return to his life with Emperor Yonghe, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor...

Then he looked at the governor of Jiangling Prefecture, and said with a smile: "Prefect Song Dynasty, he has been bothering you for a few days, but now that he has successfully completed his achievements, he will stay soon..."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The Governor of Jiangling Mansion has always been cautiously by his side, acting as a transparent person, he was shocked when his name was called, but when he heard that he was going to leave, he was both happy and afraid.

Hastily stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has asked someone to host a banquet. Governor Xu has finally come to Jiangling. Why don't you taste the flavor of Jiangling before leaving?"

"I appreciate the kindness of Governor Song..."

Xu Boqing also knew that he was like a plague god. In the past two days, he would not be able to eat well or sleep well, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not too late to try the Jiangling flavor next time. Let me go."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.

"..."

The Governor of Jiangling Mansion stared blankly at his leaving back, and said in shock: "The governor's noble conduct is really a blessing to His Majesty, a blessing to the capital, and a blessing to the world!"

Jiang Jin glanced at him, and knew that the other party was talking to him, so he just smiled and didn't make too many comments...

Xu Boqing originally wanted to go out of the city directly, but when passing by a small street restaurant that mainly sells mutton, his index finger was moved by the strong smell of meat...

Can't help but turn in...

The store is not big, only a few tables, probably because of the meal time, there are people sitting on several tables, and each table has a large bowl of stewed mutton.

The guests are gnawing on the meat, and if the taste is strong, they will prepare some dipping dishes such as chives or spicy peppers. While eating, they wipe off their sweat and feel addicted...

Even he, a spectator, felt his mouth was full of saliva...

Seeing that the owner of the shop was mixing seasonings in the stew pot in the back kitchen, he shouted: "Shopkeeper, bring me five catties of mutton."

"It's gone..."

The boss didn't turn his head back, so he said perfunctorily: "Today's is sold out, the customer wants to eat, come early tomorrow."

"..."

Xu Boqing's face froze, looking at the stewed meat and seasonings in the pot in front of him, he said displeasedly: "Aren't you still in this pot?"

"..."

The boss turned around when he heard the words, and said to the shop, "Look, guest officer, there is no room for this small shop..."

"It's okay..."

Xu Boqing glanced around, and casually cleared a corner of the table piled with sundries, and said with a smile, "I'll just sit here and eat."

"..."

The boss looked embarrassed.

And all the diners in the store are also acquaintances nearby, and they all laughed when they saw this...

"Old man, it's rare that a young man who is not born comes to you to eat meat, why are you hiding something, just give up your share?"

"You old man, business is not as important as your food?"

"Little brother, don't blame him. This old guy keeps a few catties of wine for himself every time he eats. We will help you out."

Seeing this, Xu Boqing also smiled and cupped his hands, then took out a small ingot of broken silver and threw it to the boss, and said with a smile: "Just passing by here, I was attracted by the smell of meat in your shop, I wonder if I can give up my love?"

"All right, all right, I'll serve you..."

The boss took the money with a wry smile on his face.

Then he took out the stewed mutton from the pot, poured the thick soup that had been boiled into white, and sprinkled some chopped green onions for decoration.

Seeing that the diners in the shop were still teasing, he wiped his hands on the apron, and explained: "It's not that the little old man is greedy, the main reason is that my sheep have been bought away...

All I eat now are lambs, and I am reluctant to eat them myself, maybe tomorrow, this shop will have to close for a while..."

"Oh?"

The diners in the store were all surprised, and the acquaintances asked: "I remember, old man, you raised dozens of sheep in your old home outside the city, and they were all bought away?"

"Hey, this family is not enough."

"Are dozens of sheep not enough?"

Xu Boqing pulled some mutton from the stick bone, dipped it in the chives and stuffed it into his mouth. Hearing this, he asked inexplicably, "Who wants to buy so many sheep?"

"Hi…"

The boss waved his hand and said, "The wealthy households along the Qianling River will hold a river sacrifice every few years, and they have to kill pigs and sheep to sacrifice to the river god. Our place is not too far from the river, and the slightly larger sheep They were all bought by a few wealthy households.”
