Chapter Thirty-Eight: Opening the Door

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

There were only two people and a dog living in the huge Zhao mansion, and after opening his eyes in the morning, Hu Guiyang's first decision was to recruit a few real servants.

He Wu madman didn't know which room he was sleeping in, and the yellow dog flatbread had been guarding outside Hu Guiyang's door, and as soon as he saw him out of the house, he pounced, shook his tail vigorously, and gave the wooden card in his mouth like a treasure.

Hu Guiyang took the wooden sign, didn't look at it, and threw it directly to the other end of the yard, and the flatbread immediately chased after it and grabbed it before the wooden sign hit the ground.

There was still some wine and meat left from last night, Hu Guiyang ate a few bites, threw the rest on the ground, and the flatbread came and ate it on the ground, still protecting the wooden plaque between the two front paws.

Hu Guiyang moved a chair to the steps outside the front hall door and waited for the guests to arrive.

Zhao Ying often did this during her lifetime, when there were many people, forty people, plus a number of peripheral fans, the courtyard was crowded with people, and only a few of them were qualified to reply, and most of them just came to show respect.

Zhao Ying has arrested a lot of people, rescued more people, and is backed by the Jinyi Wei Nan Division, although the official position is humble, but the power is not small, so it can attract many people from three religions and nine streams.

Hu Guiyang had only three people to receive.

The first one to arrive was the thirteenth brother Hu Guijian, representing Dongchang.

"Do the eldest brother and fifth brother know? Agreed? Hu Guiyang got up and asked.

"Although the eldest brother and the fifth brother threw themselves into the West Factory, they never wanted to offend the East Factory, so they supported me to work for the East Factory." Hu Guijian smiled and stepped forward to salute, "I was ordered to assist you in investigating the case, you are so polite to me, what should you do to others?" ”

Hu Guiyang sat down, "That's right, we're not brothers now." ”

"Let's do it all over again, after this case is over, maybe we can be brothers again."

Hu Guijian is not tall, but his appearance is extremely handsome, he is a well-deserved beautiful man among the righteous sons of the Zhao family, he has never been flawless in his work and speech, no one can hate him, and neither can Hu Guiyang.

"We'll see." Hu Guiyang said this, but he didn't regard the thirteenth brother as an enemy in his heart.

Before anyone arrived, Hu Guijian didn't ask about the investigation, just chatted, took a look in the front hall, and came out with a smile: "My father-in-law's empty coffin is still there, and you actually have a dog in the hall." ”

"It's just an empty coffin, even if the stepfather is still lying inside, he won't care."

"It's true that my father-in-law never cared about such things, and other people's opinions didn't seem to have any effect on him."

Speaking of the rebel father Zhao Ying, the two have more topics to talk about.

The people from the West Factory arrived second.

The old eunuch Yun Dan changed into a blue cloth robe, quite like a scholar, but his eyes were gloomy, his waist was slightly hunched, as if he had tried for a long time, so he was full of resentment, and he looked like an old shopkeeper who failed to collect debts.

Hu Guiyang didn't get up, and said coldly: "Wang Changgong sent you?" ”

"Yes." Yun Dan spat out a word from his throat, and had to give it up, "What does Hu Baihu need Xichang to do, please feel free to tell me, and I will arrange it." ”

"There's one thing right now."

"Please advise." Yun Dan lowered his head and did not look at people.

"Zhao Zhai has died a lot recently, and I have to invite a group of monks and Taoist priests to come over and surpass the undead, you are responsible."

Yun Dan's head hung lower, the deaths of the seven famous sons, two Yahuan, and more than 20 Taoist priests were all related to him, knowing that Hu Guiyang was sarcastic, but he didn't dare to attack, and replied: "The Dharma has already been done, Hu Baihu wants to do it again?" ”

"Then forget it." Hu Guiyang didn't really want to do things, "I always have ghosts and shadows in the house these days, and you said that you have done Dharma deeds, so it may be that I am thinking too much." ”

Yun Dan's old face turned red, coughed twice, and did not answer.

There are outsiders, Hu Guiyang and Hu Guijian are inconvenient to chat, and the three of them don't speak, it's like a game to see who can't bear this embarrassing silence first.

Breaking the silence was the yellow dog flatbread, which had already eaten enough, ran to Hu Guiyang's feet with a wooden card in his mouth, put down the sign, as if he knew the master's mind, and was silent to Hu Guijian, except for Chong Yundan and yelled a few times.

Yun Dan didn't hear it, Hu Guiyang smiled hehe, and reached out to touch the dog's head to show encouragement.

Yuan Bin's entourage Yuan Mao was the last to arrive, and finally resolved Yun Dan's embarrassment.

Yuan Mao is not very old, similar to Hu Guiyang, not tall or short, he is respectful when he is next to adults, but he came alone today, but he held his head high, stood far away, bowed his hand slightly, and said: "I have seen Hu Baihu." ”

The people are all together.

Hu Guiyang sat on the chair and looked at the three of them, moved his buttocks, his lips moved left and right, as if he was thinking about an extremely important and difficult matter, and finally got up and said, "It's almost noon, let's go eat first." ”

Hu Guiyang likes to sit in the teahouse, make a pot of good tea, and ask the running hall to go to the next noodle restaurant to ask for a big bowl of noodles, add more money, and make a thick layer of noodles, oily, and you can increase your appetite at a glance.

Today, he asks for four bowls of noodles.

Hu Guijian is very familiar with this teahouse and this way of eating, and Hu Guiyang picked up chopsticks at the same time, put them up and slapped them on the table twice, and then buried his head in eating, his movements were neat and uniform, as if he had been specially trained, but in fact, it was because there were too many brothers, and you had to fight for me when eating.

After eating the small half bowl, Hu Guiyang raised his head and said with some surprise: "Why don't you eat it?" Not hungry? ”

Yun Dan and Yuan Mao didn't even pick up their chopsticks.

"Uh...... Not too hungry. Yun Dan reluctantly said, unwilling to bother to make up more reasonable and complicated reasons.

In contrast, Yuan Mao is much more direct, "It's dirty when you look at it, and you can't eat it." ”

Hu Guiyang couldn't control his mouth, and asked with a smile: "It's dirtier than the officialdom you've seen?" ”

Yuan Mao's face showed an angry face, and Hu Guijian said: "Street noodles have their own taste when they are used to eating, and those who are not used to eating them will indeed feel too greasy." Hu Baihu, can you eat again? ”

"Yes." Hu Guiyang leaned over and brought Yuan Mao's noodles to his side, Yun Dan took the initiative to push the noodle bowl over, Hu Gui got up and took it, nodding in thanks.

The two of them ate four bowls of noodles, Hu Guiyang took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's good to do things when you're full, so I'll assign tasks." ”

Yun Dan raised his eyebrows, didn't squeak, Yuan Mao looked left and right, "Right here?" ”

There were not only their table of guests in the teahouse, but also seven or eight people, sitting in different positions, the teahouse was not big, and the voice was a little higher, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"It's okay, they're all acquaintances." Hu Guiyang didn't care.

Seeing that no one else objected, Yuan Mao hummed.

Hu Guiyang touched his stomach first, and was about to speak, when a male duck's voice came from outside, "Hu Guiyang, why don't you call me when you come out to eat?" ”

He Wu madman limped in and stood in front of Hu Guiyang angrily.

"Sit over there." Hu Guiyang pointed to an empty table next to him, and then said to Liu Si's shopkeeper, "Four more bowls of noodles." ”

He Wu's madman's expression eased, "Only noodles? ”

"Only noodles."

"Then I'm going to be more ashamed."

"Doga."

He Wu Madman walked away and said to Liu Si's shopkeeper: "The dishes you chose yesterday were all good, and you will have another meal tonight." ”

Shopkeeper Liu Si nodded with a smile, but looked at Hu Guiyang and nodded again.

Hu Guiyang turned to the table and said, "Where did I go?" ”

Yun Dan and Yuan Mao were not good at asking, and Hu Gui said, "Who is this?" ”

"The servants who have won can eat and sleep, and they can't work, but it's okay, it's due tomorrow."

The madman at the next table smiled: "It's due tomorrow, and I can beat you the day after tomorrow." ”

Hu Guiyang ignored him and said to Hu Guijian: "I remember." I need a group of bodyguards who are trustworthy and strong in martial arts, able to block demon foxes and irrelevant people, etc. ”

"No problem, I'll be able to find it tonight." Hu Gui also said, this is a small thing for him.

Yun Dan coughed and interjected: "The demon fox is a demon, and mortals can't stop it." ”

As soon as these words came out, except for He Wu, who was anxiously waiting for the face of the maniac, the entire teahouse looked at it.

Hu Guiyang stared at the old eunuch, and after a while, he said, "Who is suitable for demon prevention?" Monk or Taoist? ”

"Taoist priest." Yun Dan said with certainty.

Hu Guiyang's gaze turned to Hu Guijian, "Then find a few more Taoist priests, one must be strong in mana, and the other must preach morality, the kind of guy who even betrays his own people, not one." ”

Hu Guijian smiled and nodded, Yun Dan's old face turned red again, and he turned his head to look away.

Hu Guiyang was about to speak to the old eunuch, "Husband Yun, I have a lot of important things to explain to you. ”

"Husband" is an honorific title for eunuchs, Yun Dan said politely: "Please say, as long as it is what Xichang can do, we will never refuse." ”

"Okay, first thing, the demon fox came out on the seventh night of the first day of July last year, after the demon Li Zilong was arrested, the demon fox disappeared, and I want to interrogate the relevant criminals, especially Li Zilong."

"Li Zilong is locked up in the palace." Yun Dan reminded.

"I know, that's why I asked the West Factory for help, if I can't even do this thing......"

"Okay, I'll go back and ask, maybe I can, but I can't guarantee it."

"The second thing, tomorrow I will interrogate all the Taoist priests of Lingji Palace......"

Yun Dan slapped the case and said angrily: "No! ”

The other guests in the teahouse were startled and quietly slipped away.

Hu Guiyang looked up at the old eunuch, "So instead of fully assisting me in investigating the case, Xichang sent you to supervise my investigation?" It seems that I made a mistake in communicating with Wang Changgong. ”

Speaking of Wang Zhi, Yun Dan's anger suddenly subsided, and he sat down slowly, "Lingji Palace...... Who do you want to meet, tell me your name, you don't need everyone, do you? ”

"It has to be everyone." Hu Guiyang became more serious, "Lingji Palace has already come to Zhao's house, and it is casting spells and killing people, so I always have to pay a return visit." ”

The two looked at each other, and finally Yun Dan backed down, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled, "There is a third thing. ”

Yun Dan forced his anger, "Please speak." ”

"I'm just a hundred Yanshan avant-garde trial households now, and I am humble and light-hearted, how can I investigate the case? Please arrange a position for me in Jinyiwei, don't give it to me, just temporary. ”

If Hu Guiyang had said this from the beginning, Yun Dan would have a bunch of reasons to refuse, but now he just replied coldly: "Okay." ”

Hu Guiyang also said a "good" and stood up, "That's all here today, it's going well, and it's not far from finding out the truth about the demon fox." ”

Hu Guijian and Yun Dan both got up to say goodbye, and Yuan Mao also stood up, but did not leave, "What about me?" It's none of my business, is it? ”

"No, there's something about you."

"Hmm." Yuan Mao looked extremely reluctant.

"My temporary servant is about to expire, so you can stay with me as an attendant for a few days."

"Too much deception!" Yuan Mao was stunned for a moment, and then shouted sharply.
