Volume 3: Courage Chapter 20: In the Lower Heaven

"Since the benefactor is happy, then I will complain to you. Hu Han went to take two glasses of white water, drank them all himself, and put the other cup in front of him. "My father was a boat owner in Fairy Lake during his lifetime, and he had hundreds of boatmen under his hands. ”

"Before his death?, the owner of the ship?" Jiang Tian suddenly remembered that he had encountered water thieves at sea, could it be that his father died at the hands of water thieves?"

Hu Han's hand trembled and looked at him in surprise, how could he think that he was a water thief? There has never been a water thief in Immortal Lake, so most people will not think that it is a water thief. The mother only thought that she had encountered a water thief, and the specific cause of death was unknown. "Encountering water thieves is just my mother's guess. ”

"You went to the official gate just so that they could investigate?"

"That's right, this is the second time. The first time we didn't bring anything, so we were kicked out of the door, but this time my mother gave 3,000 copper coins to Lord Zhao, but the answer we got was that the hull of the ship broke and my father died. ”

People who think that the world thinks that eunuchs don't lie, right?" "Maybe he really died from the rupture of the ship's hull?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Han suddenly became excited, and his voice trembled a little. "No way! Father checks the hull every time he goes out to sea, not to mention that every time he goes to sea, at least five boats will set off together, so five boats can't break together, right?"

With this information, Lord Zhao's words are very suspicious, after all, it is really possible for one boat to say that the hull is broken, but how can five boats break together? Unless someone is doing it.

"Didn't the five boats that went to sea with your father come back?"

"None of them. A few days ago, we made a big fuss in the Eastern District, but we were all suppressed. That's why I thought of using money to open the way, and prayed that the eunuch would investigate because of the money. ”

"Looking at the official eunuch market in this Divine City, it is very bad. Jiang Tian drank the white water in the cup, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." ”

Hu Han frowned when he heard his name, because he was a little familiar but couldn't remember anything. "I hope it doesn't affect my benefactor. ”

What wind and waves have you never seen, and you are still afraid of this little Zishen City?

Then he asked about the owner of the boat and the fairy lake, and Hu Han also said everything about it. and mentioned Hu Kong, the third child of the Hu family, and learned from his mouth that this person must know what the inside story is.

"Brother Gu, shouldn't this be in the Mansion City?" Han Jian and the two of them at the door were shocked, after all, the matter of the Lord of the Ancient Mansion was so big, and Gu Yi, who was the core person, actually appeared in the Han Mansion.

Gu Yi waved his hand and said magnificently: "What is the matter with me as the lord of the mansion?" he strode into the Han Mansion, "I came here today to drink with you." Gu Cai also followed.

Seeing this, Han Yi immediately called his sister Han Meng, and the two of them left a good impression when they met him in the Burning Desert, but they didn't dare to get too close because of the identity problem between the ancient mansion and the Han mansion.

"Brother Gu, how do you feel about the recent uproar about the Immortal Lake water thieves?" Han Yi asked in a slightly tentative tone.

Gu Yi took Han Meng's tea and his heart rippled for a while, and he was suddenly pulled back to realize it by such a question. "I've heard of it, but there is no empirical evidence for this, maybe someone wants to disturb the order of Zishen City. ”

"Whether there is empirical evidence depends on whether there is a serious investigation, Brother Gu. Han Yi clenched the teacup slightly, with a slight hint of mockery.

Gu Yi also blinked and didn't quite understand what he meant, but Gu Cai on the side already understood what he meant, and said that the ancient mansion had interfered with the law of the eunuchs.

"Han Yi, what do you mean by this?" asked Gu Cai in a cold voice.

You must know that the reputation of the ancient mansion has always been applauded by everyone, and his words are clearly slandering the ancient mansion.

Gu Yi is also a little angry, to say that his personal reputation is not good, it is nothing, but to say that the reputation of Gufu is not good, it really means that he wants to provoke a war.

"My brother's meaning is actually very simple, someone in your ancient mansion is interfering with the law of the eunuchs. Han Meng didn't have so much caution, so he said it bluntly.

"You can't talk nonsense, just show what evidence you have. Gu Yi didn't dare to use this tone to Han Meng, but said fiercely at Han Yi.

It's not the ancient style to be fierce with girls, let alone to a girl who already has a crush on her?

Han Yi sighed, he was helpless that Gu Yi still believed in his own mansion too much. "Brother General has come to Zishen City. ”

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiangtian?!" Gu Yi was suddenly shocked, when did he come, why didn't he inform himself?

Now the relationship between the city lord of Zishen City and Jiangtian is very tense, and if it is not good, there will be a battle, after all, it is about the face of the Lord of Foxiao.

"Where is he now?" asked Gu Yi anxiously.

Han Yi didn't answer his question directly, but said with a solemn face: "He met a water thief in the Immortal Lake. "Since you don't believe your own words, then do you believe the words of the heavens?

If Jiang Tian said something to him personally, then he would definitely investigate the matter of the water thief, but now it was just Han Yi who was talking, how could he believe it?

"I need to see the heavens. "Unless it's Gu Yi who sees the sky with his own eyes, how can he believe this.

The Immortal Lake and the Ancient Mansion are closely related, and the Ancient Mansion can be said to have single-handedly developed the Immortal Lake.

But now that the water thieves are infested, the ancient mansion doesn't care, and even the official eunuchs have not sent official ships to investigate.

Gu Cai suddenly remembered something at this moment, and hurriedly grabbed his brother who was leaving: "The manager of Immortal Lake is Gu Qian..."

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for the people of Gufu to allow the wicked to commit murder. Gu Yi roared angrily.

The manager of the Immortal Lake is indeed the Great Elder of the Ancient Mansion, and now the Gu Qian of the Mansion Lord, as long as anything happens to the Immortal Lake, he will be mainly responsible.

So now that there are water thieves in the fairy lake, Gu Qian doesn't care, and the eunuchs don't care, so things have become very wonderful.

In his mind, the ancient mansion is to punish evil and promote good, and there is a clear distinction between good and evil, how can he accept such a thing at once?

Gu Cai can also guess his brother's attitude, after all, Gufu is the place where he was born and raised, and he has been cultivated since he was a child. "Investigation is more important than anything else. ”

There is almost no evidence for what was said before the investigation was clear, so the most important thing at the moment is to investigate everything clearly.

"Investigation? You just need to find Hu Hai, and everything is clear. "Gu Yi met Hu Hai, and when he left Zishen Chengcheng, he left on his boat.

Han Yi shook his head: "Hu Hai was buried in Immortal Lake, and it was his wife Cuihua who decided that there were water thieves in Immortal Lake. ”

Not only was Gu Yi stunned, but even Gu Cai, who was born indifferent, also aroused anger. Who is Hu Hai? He is the spokesman of the ancient mansion, and he has the income of hundreds of civilians in his hands. It can be said that the entire Fairy Lake can't find a second boat boss who can be compared with Hu Hai, this is also because he has a good character, and he will definitely give half of his share to the brothers.

"I don't even know anything about such a big thing?" Gu Yi also had to face up to the problem of the ancient mansion at this time.

Gu Mansion has never been something that can be arbitrarily dictated, and Gu Qian actually concealed Hu Hai's death, there is obviously some conspiracy in this.

If it hadn't been deliberately concealed, it wouldn't have happened for three days, and Gu Yi, who was in the ancient mansion, didn't even know about it, and even everyone in the ancient mansion didn't know.

"Hu Hai has a younger brother, named Hu Kong, maybe he knows the inside story. "Since the incident of Hu Hai's encounter with water thieves on the boat became a big problem, Han Yi has investigated the ins and outs of the matter.

But because of his lack of power, he can't investigate the root at all, and it should be said that if he wants to investigate clearly, he must be a person who is more powerful than the ancient mansion.

Gu Yi looked at him with a little astonishment, and then thought about it. The forces of the Han Mansion could not let Hu Kong say any important information, or that the Han Mansion could not protect him at all. "Xiaocai, you go to find Lord Zhao, and I'll go to Hu Kong. ”

Lord Zhao is a partner of the ancient mansion, and it can be said that if there is a piece of meat in the ancient mansion, there will be a bite of meat for him Lord Zhao.

Gu Cai nodded and ran out of the Han Mansion, this matter is related to the position of the lord of the ancient mansion, as long as it is proved that Gu Qian is really involved in this matter, then he will definitely not be able to hold the position of the lord of the mansion, if the situation is serious, it is not certain whether his life can be saved.

Gu Yi went all the way in the direction of the three directions of the Southern District, and Han Yi couldn't ask Hu Kong what was wrong, either because he thought that the Han Mansion couldn't protect him, or because there was no conspiracy.

There were originally a lot of people at the mouth of Hukong's alley in the third district of the southern district, but they all moved away because of Hukong's drunkenness. After all, no one wants to be beaten for no reason, right?

Because of this, Furukawa's mission went very smoothly, and he led people to break into Hukou's house, and saw that the flowers and plants in the yard and the bottles were all smashed.

Hu Kong, who had already drunk a lot of wine, was naturally furious, took an axe and walked out of the house, and it could be seen that the middle-aged man in front of him almost knelt down.

"Brother He, why are you here?" he shuddered and put down the axe in his hand, an ugly smile appeared on his face.

Even if he was drunk, he didn't dare to do anything to Guhe, whether he could fight or not was one thing, the main thing was that behind him was Gufu.

Furukawa's eyes flashed with kindness, but he immediately revealed ferocity, whether it was for his future life or for the position of the Great Pavilion. Hu Kong must die!

"Kill him. ”

As soon as this order came out, a dozen or so guards behind him drew their swords and rushed into the house, slashing at Furukawa with a dozen or so knives. But he is not a lamb to the slaughter, after years of troubles and fights, he naturally knows some self-defense skills.

With the vase in hand, he turned around and threw it at them, then picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed it. "Furukawa! I didn't tell anyone. ”

The guards forced the big knife step by step and ruthlessly cut the scars on his body, Hu Kong could only desperately drill into it, and he didn't know how many knife marks there were on his arms.

"Whether you say it or not has nothing to do with whether you die or not. A young man appeared at the door of the house, his sword flashing brightly.
