(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Yuan Mao walked into the front hall of Zhao's house with the tea tray, lowered his eyes slightly, his footsteps were almost silent, he came to the table, put down the tea tray, and poured tea in a cup, without any confusion.

Hu Guijian immediately got up and humbly gave in, Hu Guiyang sat there without moving, and when Yuan Mao finished pouring the tea, he asked, "You won't hold a grudge and do something in the tea, right?" ”

"Don't dare." Yuan Mao said bluntly, after a confrontation in the teahouse, he still chose to give in, there was no way, Lord Yuan sent him, before the task was completed, he couldn't just leave anyway.

"I believe in you." Hu Guiyang smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Well, your cooking skills are good, Lord Yuan is blessed." ”

Yuan Mao didn't squeak, took the tea tray, and stepped aside.

Hu Guijian sat down again, "The ten nurses have been found, they can arrive before dark, and they are introduced by the Hua brothers of the Zhiyou Dart Bureau, all of them are extraordinary, and the hiring money is a little more expensive, five to ten taels of silver per month, and this money is out of the factory." ”

"That's great, we can report dozens of taels more......"

Yuan Mao, who was standing on the side, snorted disdainfully and immediately turned his face away.

Hu Guiyang ignored him and continued: "Use this money to buy a few decent clothes for the servants at home. ”

Hu Guijian couldn't answer this sentence, so he had to vaguely go over, "Actually, you don't have to hire outside bodyguards, we are ...... among our brothers."

"It's them that I'm guarding against." Hu Guiyang said coldly.

Hu Gui and Zhengse said: "Some people do have to be on guard, but there are priorities, Zhao Jiayizi is the best at tracking down all kinds of demons, and has contacts with the three religions and nine streams inside and outside the capital, and has a lot of contacts in his hands, with their help, he can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"You're right, but I'm afraid that the eldest brother and the fifth brother won't really help me, but will secretly harm me."

"Hehe, you think too much, third and sixth brother - I'll still call you third or sixth brother, it's more convenient - eldest brother and fifth brother, why did they do that kind of thing before? In order to support the mountain, the third and sixth brothers are now the new backers, how can they harm you again? It's too late for you. ”

"Really?"

"You don't have to believe me, you just need to believe in interests, where benefits come from, and there is affection."

Hu Guiyang pondered for a long time, "What does Brother Thirteen think I should do?" Go visit the eldest brother and the fifth brother, or invite them over? ”

Hearing the "Thirteenth Brother", Hu Guijian knew that the matter was done, and said with a smile: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this sentence is the most suitable for now." ”

"The 'treasure' of the Zhao family is no longer there." Hu Guiyang looked at the empty coffin.

"My father-in-law is not here, and there is Second Uncle Sun."

"Ha, the second uncle is a person who reveres Buddhism and Taoism, and it is better to have a personal relationship with his father-in-law, and he is very concerned about righteousness, but he rarely participates in the affairs of our Zhao family."

Hu Guijian shook his head, "The third and sixth brothers misunderstood the phrase 'if there is a treasure', and asked Second Uncle Sun to come forward, not to ask him to help investigate the case, nor to ask him to bridge the rift between our brothers, but to say that only in Second Uncle Sun's house, our brothers can come together again, otherwise, whether you go to see the eldest brother and the fifth brother, or the eldest brother and the fifth brother come here, it is a little inappropriate." ”

"No wonder my father-in-law treats you as a military advisor, that ...... You arrange it. ”

Hu Gui got up, "It's enough to have three or six brothers, tomorrow night, the Zhao family brothers will reunite, there is no need to restore the previous relationship, just to resolve the grudge, even if it is temporary, in short, go all out to investigate the case and arrest the real demon fox, which can be regarded as completing the unfinished business of the father-in-law." ”

"And the body of my stepfather." Hu Guiyang reminded.

"Of course, the body must be found and buried."

He Wu madman walked in, "A group of people came outside, saying that they were newly hired nurses, and they can fight better than me?" I don't believe it. ”

Hu Gui said with a smile: "Nursing is a hard job, the level of martial arts is secondary, the important thing is to be able to patrol day and night, and see the six roads." ”

He Wu Madman shook his head, "Then I won't do it." ”

Hu Guijian went out and invited ten bodyguards in, and introduced them one by one, these ten people have experience, and after meeting the master, they immediately divided labor and cooperated, without Hu Guiyang's assignment.

Hu Gui said goodbye, and Hu Guiyang sent it to the gate.

"Third and sixth brother, listen to my advice, seize this opportunity, the future is immeasurable, you can live whatever you want, even if you want to take revenge, wait for your position to be stable."

"Well, I understand. But this is also an opportunity for the eldest brother and the fifth brother, if they show a little more malice, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"They are all their own brothers, if they can harm you, they can harm me, if the eldest brother and fifth brother have different aspirations, I will never sit idly by."

The two brothers parted.

Hu Guiyang returned to the front hall, Yuan Mao had already lit the oil lamp, and asked, "Does Lord Baihu still have orders?" ”

"No, you go and rest, you can go back to Yuan's mansion, you can stay here if you want, the room is as you choose."

Yuan Mao replied, raised his legs to leave, but his footsteps fell back to the same place, "Are the hundred households willing to listen to my nonsense?" ”

"Nonsense...... Okay, let's hear about it. ”

"You can't find out the truth like that."

"Oh? Why? ”

"Yun Dan is a person from the West Factory, and he is a eunuch himself, and your brothers are all working for the West Factory, both openly and secretly, but you hand over everything to them, what can be the result in the end? It must be in line with the wishes of the eunuchs of the West Factory: the demon fox is a real demon, and there may be a shadow of ghosts and gods behind the scenes, as long as you continue to track down, you can find the true immortal. As for Lord Baihu, he is just a puppet to prove to the emperor that Xichang has no secrets. ”

"I'm not so unlucky, am I?"

"Anyway, what I'm saying is nonsense, and the Lord of the Hundred Households doesn't have to take it seriously."

Yuan Mao was about to leave, and Hu Guiyang said: "What you said is indeed nonsense, because I have long understood. ”

"But ......"

"The West Factory is gaining momentum, and those brothers of mine are really good at finding people like 'demon foxes', since they can be used, why not use them? As for how much and when, hey, we'll see. ”

"That's because I'm thinking too much."

"You are a close confidant of Lord Yuan, and when you see me making full use of the West Factory, of course you have to think a little more. However, I do have one thing for you to do. ”

"Lord Hyakho, please speak." Yuan Mao's tone softened a lot.

"Since the seventh night of July last year, the demon fox has killed and injured many people in a few months, and I need the files of all the victims, including names, identities, addresses, time of killing, and where they have been over the years, in short, the more detailed the better."

"The government's dossier is not so detailed." Yuan Mao said in surprise.

"So it's a tall order, can it be done in five days?"

"Hmm...... It will take at least a month, and many things will have to be re-questioned by visiting the victims' families. ”

"A month? The body of the demon fox has already been sent to His Majesty by then, ten days, ten days at most, the truth of the demon fox case must be hidden in the identity of the deceased. ”

"I try." Yuan Mao didn't dare to pack the ticket.

"Didn't Lord Yuan always say that there was the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China? With all the power you can wield, it may not take you more than ten days. Remember, the sooner the better, you are competing with the West Factory, even if it is a day late, you may be a failure. ”

"Okay." Yuan Mao no longer shirked, and stared at Hu Guiyang for a while, "I will tell Lord Yuan that you are more than I expected...... Better. ”

"Just 'some'?"

"After all, there are no definite clues."

"Haha, let's go, you're just Lord Yuan's casual handsome, it's your duty to tell the story honestly, see more and think less."

The little good impression that Yuan Mao had just given birth to disappeared in an instant, snorted lowly, and left quickly.

Hu Guiyang sat alone in a chair and laughed, and suddenly shouted outside, "Come in." ”

Before the words fell, the yellow dog cake jumped in, still holding the wooden sign in its mouth, it waited outside the door for a long time, and wagged its tail happily as soon as it arrived in front of Hu Guiyang.

"Look at you, you haven't grown up to be a flattering traitor, I'm really a little curious, you said that Wang Zhi is in front of the emperor, is it the same as you?"

The flatbread sent the wooden plaque to Hu Guiyang.

Hu Guiyang took the wooden sign, "Even if it is coated with bird's nest on it, it should be licked by you, why are you still biting it?" You're acting so weird, I'm going to suspect you're a spy, and say, are you a monster? ”

The flatbread rubbed his leg gently, and Hu Guiyang stretched out his hand to scratch the top of its head, "The emperor is also very interesting, he even appointed me to investigate the case, I have neither a real official position nor a credible person, what can I do to investigate the case?" I had to fish in troubled waters, touch around, and touch a dog's head......"

Hu Guiyang said nonsense, suddenly shut up, and his eyes stopped on the wooden card in his other hand.

The flatbread was still in the palm of the owner's hand, hoping to be scratched a little longer.

"Let me see your teeth." Hu Guiyang held up the mouth of the flatbread.

The flatbread is still a puppy, but the teeth have grown together, and the upper and lower rows are all exposed, which is quite eerie and fierce.

Hu Guiyang looked at the wooden sign again, it was obviously made of wood, but it was a little heavier, and he had been bitten by the flatbread for so long that he didn't even leave any tooth marks.

"It's a little weird - tomorrow I'll go find someone who knows the goods, and maybe I can sell it for a good price."

"Wang." The flatbread barked several times, as if to show its objection.

"Even you are mine, and I will sell it when I say it." Hu Guiyang got up, holding a wooden card in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, and went to the guest room to prepare for sleep.

The flatbread obediently followed, lying outside the door, as if to keep a good watch all night.

In the house, Hu Guiyang looked at the wooden sign in front of the light, except for the hardness and heaviness, he didn't see anything special, "He million sent it, there must be a reason, the old fox refused to say, he wanted to lure me to take the initiative to ask him, hey, see who is more patient." ”

Hu Guiyang threw the wooden card on the table, stripped off his clothes and shoes, and went to sleep on the kang.

About an hour later, Hu Guiyang suddenly sat up and returned to reality from his sleep, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.

He thought he had dreamed of something, but he couldn't remember anything, only the feeling of panic was still there, and his heart was beating wildly, and it took a while for him to return to normal.

"I'm running out of patience." Hu Guiyang walked to the table in the dark, grabbed the wooden sign and walked out of the house.

The flatbread was really guarding the door, and came over to lick Hu Guiyang's feet.

"He Wu Maniac!" Hu Guiyang shouted at the top of his voice, and after a few consecutive sounds, an angry response finally came from the opposite room: "What are you doing? ”

"As soon as the morning dawns, you will go home, bring your sister here, I want to get married!"
