The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 288: The Dutiful Son Of King Qi

Hearing King Qi's words, Emperor Chu nodded and said: "Well, it makes sense, if you are interested, go and investigate, the queen is the mother of a country, and there is no room for mistakes in the birthday party. "

Xu Qing who was standing by the side frowned unhappily. It's fine if this guy likes to find work for himself, why would you still find work for him?

At this time, King Qi who turned around looked at Xu Qing and said, "What do you think of Xu County Bo?"

how about? The emperor has already spoken, is it still useful to do what you want?

Xu Qing could only bow her cupped hands and said: "Your Highness, I admire your filial piety, please, Your Highness."

Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing who was frowning slightly, and then at King Qi who was smiling. At this moment, Xiao Ye suddenly felt that King Qi had hit him lightly...

Xu Qing and King Qi walked out of the palace and headed towards the imperial garden. King Qi looked at Xu Qing and asked, "How is Uncle Anding's illness?"

Xu Qing was stunned: "Sick? What kind of sickness?"

The blue veins on King Qi's forehead were protruding, but he still suppressed his heart and said calmly: "A few days ago, the king sent an invitation to Uncle Anding. Uncle Anding was sick and said it was inconvenient to come."

"Oh, the one." Xu Qing came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty is concerned, your illness is much better."

King Qi nodded and said: "Uncle Anding is the pillar of our great Chu country, you should pay attention to your health in the future."

"In the future?" Xu Qing looked a little weird after thinking about it, but he still said: "Eh... in the future, I will pay attention to it in the future."

If you pay attention in the future, there will be too many times to pay attention!

King Qi laughed and said, "Why don't Uncle Anding talk to this king about how the imperial garden is arranged? What should we pay attention to? This king can also check with Uncle Anding separately, so that it will be faster."

Xu Qing glanced at King Qi's newly raised right leg, and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, there are hundreds of fireworks arranged in this imperial garden, most of which are placed near the water. , For example, if there is a mistake in the amount of gunpowder filled in the fireworks, if the water leaks, you can immediately use the water in the lotus pond to save it, and it will not cause any trouble to the empress's birthday banquet."

King Qi nodded when he heard this and said: "So that's the case. He is worthy of being the county uncle of Anding. He can manage the huge National Commercial Academy at a young age. It turns out that Uncle Anding is so attentive to the subtleties."

Xu Qing smiled and didn't speak, why was it built by the water? I'm not afraid to order your father's house...

King Qi continued: "Then, how should these fireworks be checked to make sure they are intact? Uncle Anding has to teach this king."

In order to be lazy, Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "There are still patrolling soldiers in this imperial garden, just call them over and tell them. Your Highness is a daughter of gold, so you don't have to do it yourself, and use the patrolling soldiers Quantity, when tested, the speed must be much faster than the two of His Highness and me."

However, King Qi shook his head and said: "Uncle Anding's words are wrong. How can the Empress's birthday be so contemptuous? The fireworks of this birthday banquet are the most important part of the banquet ending. How can you be so hasty?" Leave it to the soldiers to complete? If this gets out, won’t others accuse me of not being filial?”

"Besides, even if others will not criticize this king, as the eldest son of the father, this king should also do his filial piety. If such an important matter is entrusted to a rough-handed soldier, this king I really feel uneasy, so I had to work hard with Uncle An Ding to check whether there are any mistakes in the fireworks with the king, only in this way can the king be at ease."

Xu Qing wanted to beat King Qi even more.

Now come to pretend to be a dutiful son? Still feeling uneasy?

It is not an exaggeration to say that a soldier is much more reliable than you, did you make it?

However, Xu Qing was not Xiao Ye after all, so he couldn't directly slap King Qi twice to wake him up.

Therefore, Xu Qing could only tell the truth: "Fireworks are filled with black gunpowder. When the banquet is over, there will be attendants who will light the fuze and release the fireworks. Fuzes that need fire are most afraid of water, and fireworks are near water." As for cloth, it can be said that it is the easiest to get wet, so the fuze has been protected in advance, and His Highness only needs to observe that the fuze is still dry."

"If it is true that some fuzes have become wet due to water, there is still some time before the fireworks are set off after the banquet, and there is enough time to adjust the spare fireworks not far from the palace."

"In this way, this king understands." Speaking of this, King Qi pointed in one direction and said, "Where does An Dingbo start monitoring, how about this king start monitoring from another place?"

Xu Qing arched his cupped hands and said, "Please, Your Highness."

Xu Qing is very dissatisfied with this kind of temporary overtime behavior. What's even more exasperating is that it was not the boss who proposed it, but the King Qi.

There is no reason for nothing, King Qi must have a purpose for doing this.

But for what purpose?

Frame it? Deliberately wet the fuze and conceal it, so that the fireworks cannot be released? In the end, is it the responsibility of the National Chamber of Commerce? Put all the blame on yourself? Get yourself punished?

After all, I refuted his face more than a dozen times, and every time I sent an invitation, I called it sick and shirked it.

If King Qi really dares to do such a thing, then King Qi is a hopeless idiot. If he does this at the Queen’s birthday banquet, it will be a disgrace to the entire Chu State. The Queen’s birthday banquet can go so wrong , How can you not be laughed at by envoys from other countries?

Moreover, the National Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for the installation and not the excitation, and the work of setting off the fireworks is performed by the people in the palace.

After the fireworks were installed, Emperor Chu personally sent someone to inspect and accept them. From the moment the inspection was completed, the National Chamber of Commerce had nothing to do with these fireworks. head up.

The crime of contempt and carelessness of the person who is most responsible for acceptance.

However, in view of King Qi's extremely stable IQ, this possibility actually is not impossible, but he really tried to die like this, and in the end it was his own bad luck.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing shook his head, and casually checked the many fireworks arranged by the National Chamber of Commerce. It has nothing to do with him, and it is not his own fault if he makes a mistake. Let him do what he wants.

In the brightly lit place, King Qi, who seemed to be carefully monitoring the fireworks, kept an eye on Xu Qing's movements. When Xu Qing got closer and closer to the direction he was pointing, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

...

The further Xu Qing walked, the more he felt that something was wrong. The lights in the imperial garden should be bright today. Why did several lights go out here? Immediately, it seemed to be dimmed, and why hasn't the patrolling soldier come to light it?

King Qi won't ambush an assassin or something like that?

This idea was quickly dispelled by Xu Qing. With the shadow guards personally controlling the safety of the palace, assassins do not exist.

At this moment, a female voice filled with resentment suddenly came to Xu Qing's ears: "Uncle Anding~~"

Such as resentment, such as admiration, such as weeping, such as complaining.

Xu Qing's body froze immediately, his heart trembled, and the story of bumping into a ghost in the Forbidden City in his previous life in the middle of the night couldn't help appearing in his mind...

Being blown by the little wind again, I was immediately immersed in the scene!

If I knew it earlier, I would have learned the ability to listen to the voice and argue with the lady in advance.

Feudal superstitions are unbelievable, cows, ghosts and snakes Shendu is a paper tiger, but he has crossed his fucking time! Should I believe this thing? Does anyone have an accurate answer?

At this moment, another voice came: "Uncle Anding..."
