Hu Guiyang refused to go to Wuque Hutong to inquire about the news, and Fan Dajian had to turn to find others, but the process was not smooth.

Fan Dajian claimed that the capital was his foundation before, which was true, but he didn't say that these foundations mainly relied on Lingji Palace, not himself, let alone Erlang Temple, thinking about it, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

At this moment, two guys took the initiative to send it to the door.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun are well-informed on the nearby streets, no matter which new high-roller or a girl is bought, they will come to the door in time to congratulate and at least ask for a glass of wine.

The new owner of Erlang Temple arrived, and of course these two people would not miss it, and sent a thin gift, boasting about it.

The people in the temple hated them very much, but Fan Dajian felt that he had found a talent, so he tried to win them over and paid for the two of them to go to Wuque Hutong to have a good time, "People over there often come to me to offer incense, as the owner of the temple, I always need to know a little more about the situation and inquire who their backer is." ”

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were overjoyed, they didn't expect such a beautiful difference, they made an oath, took the money and set off, and rushed back early the next morning.

"I have inquired, the backer behind it should be a powerful eunuch in the palace, the spring courtyard of Wuque Hutong is not ** courtyard, it is full of official shops, ostensibly storing goods and providing accommodation for foreign merchants, and the girls are all transported from other places, which can be regarded as 'goods'. We already know some people, and if we go for two or three nights, we will definitely be able to find out who the eunuch is. ”

There are many powerful eunuchs in the palace, such as the celebrant Huai'en, Dongchang Shangming, Xichang Wang Zhi, and the inner servant Liang Fang are famous, and their status is close to that of the cabinet scholars.

The relationship between these eunuchs is complicated, and if outsiders are not careful, they will inevitably find the wrong person, and even offend people because of it.

He believes that he will soon be able to find out the details, since he is a backer, he must show a little true face in order to make Wuque Hutong reliable, he only needs to follow the vine, and the rest of the problem is to use money - use other people's money to solve it.

But he made a mistake from the beginning, and he shouldn't have trusted the two spring courtyard bastards.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were too addicted to gambling, and Fan Dajian downplayed the purpose, and the two felt that the matter was not important, so after getting the money, they did not go to Wuque Hutong outside the city, but gambled money, and by the way, they heard a little rumor on the gambling table.

After losing for a few days, the two saw that they couldn't drag it out any longer, so they had to go to Wuque Hutong in person, penniless, and planned to use the same set of methods that they were familiar with in the city to help the guests, get some benefits, and take the opportunity to inquire about the news.

Wuque Hutong is indeed as rumored to say, there are many official shops on both sides, even in the cold winter, vehicles still come and go, providing rich New Year's goods for the capital, there is no retail sale here, only large transactions, so the guests are not particularly many, but they are all rich.

Jiang and Zheng are thick-skinned enough, and when they don't know who are in the alley, they dare to talk to the new guests on the street and introduce them to which girl is better, which is all hearsay and rumors, without a word of truth.

This routine still works, and after a few conversations, they successfully gain the trust of a wealthy businessman, Jiang Er leads the way, and Zheng Sanhun quickly inquires about the residence of the so-called Seven Fairies.

The Seven Fairies are the most well-known seven girls in Wuque Hutong, who went to Erlang Temple to fight Ren Liu's childhood hatred, and went back to various places after leaving the city, and there was competition between them.

Wealthy businessmen are not picky, as long as they are one of the seven fairies.

It's a pity that the Seven Fairies are now extremely sought-after, and they are all close to wealthy businessmen, and they basically don't accept foreign customers.

The rich businessman came here and didn't understand the rules here, but Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were thorough, so they took the rich businessman to another house, and said nonsense: "We have the Seven Immortals and the Seven Immortals here, and the few people you said are all the Seven Immortals, I don't know who you listened to, that person can look down on you." With your identity, appearance, and romance, you must be a Seven Immortals to be worthy. ”

The wealthy businessman was overjoyed, and after rewarding the money, he scolded the friend who recommended the "Seven Immortals".

The transaction went smoothly, the girl of this family was not glamorous, but not ugly, the rich merchant was slightly disappointed, but after talking a few words and eating a few glasses of wine, he was happy again, thinking that the "Seven Immortals" were indeed outstanding, the words were well-behaved, and the sentences were pleasant, but the appearance was not so important.

The guests were introduced by Jiang and Zheng, and the shop thought they were entourage, so they stayed outside to entertain and drink with the guys in the shop.

The wealthy businessman was completely fascinated and didn't want anyone to enter the house, the others were happy, constantly adding wine and food, all drunk, Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun began to be unable to control their mouths, and said everything, Jinyiwei and Fan Dajian were also shaken out, as if they were spies on a secret mission, but Hu Guiyang's name was not mentioned.

No one takes it seriously, no one cares, and the last thing that is missing in this alley is lies.

The accident was the rich merchant, he was still young, about thirty years old, with a dignified appearance and a straight body, but it turned out to be a sick person, who foamed at the mouth in the middle of the spring night, and died with a whimper.

The girl was so frightened that she had no sharp teeth and nothing left but teeth to fight.

There are no characters such as bustards and turtle slaves in the shop, and the shopkeeper is also in charge of the goods, so he brought Jiang and Zheng to ask about the origin of the rich businessman.

The wealthy businessman claimed to be surnamed Hong in front of the "fairy", called Hong You, a native of Shandong, and said nothing else.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun only knew the surname of the wealthy businessman, and they didn't even know the name, so they leaked the stuffing in a few words.

The more the shopkeeper listened, the more wrong it became, and the guy who had been drinking together before remembered what the two had said, and pointed out that they were spies sent by Jinyiwei and Erlang Temple.

Things were even more wrong, and the shopkeeper asked the rich merchant and other entourages, and there were indeed two of them, but the rich merchant was afraid of being restrained, so he sent them away and made an appointment to come back at dawn.

After a little connection between the things before and after, the shopkeeper came to a conclusion: this is a false accusation, using a dead man to ruin the reputation of Wuque Hutong, and the main messenger behind it is the owner of Fan Temple of Erlang Temple and many spring courtyards in the city.

Before Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun could understand, they were knocked to the ground, and their friends, who were drinking together just now, became fierce and evil in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, those girls in the city really dare to use any tricks, and they dare to come over to make trouble without asking who opened the shop here?"

"Who's driving it?" Zheng Sanhun still remembered the purpose of this trip and asked.

The shopkeeper's face sank, "The corpses inside were carried out and buried by these two people, none of them came, and they didn't take guests in the shop tonight, understand?" Someone came to ask early tomorrow morning, and said that Hong Keguan was not satisfied with this place and was taken away by these two guys. ”

All the guys should be in unison, Jiang and Zheng, who were tied up, understood that the catastrophe was coming, and when they asked for mercy, their mouths were blocked again, and the two brothers looked at each other and wept, but they didn't expect that they would be mixed up in the alley of the company for half their lives, but in the end they would die in the spring courtyard outside the city.

It was the middle of the night, and the people in the shop planned to wait a little longer, and when there was no one on the street, they would carry the three out again, find a desolate place, and bury them in the snow, until the beginning of spring tomorrow, and the bodies would not be found.

The shopkeeper went in to dispose of the corpse, and at the same time comforted his own fortune fairy, and nearly an hour later, the men were ready to carry the man, but the shopkeeper came out and ordered to untie the rope.

The guys were inexplicable, but they had to learn from it, Jiang and Zheng were already paralyzed with fright, and after the rope was untied, they were still lying on the ground and couldn't move.

The shopkeeper ordered someone to prepare the car, and then said, "You two, get up and speak." ”

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were finally dragged up by several people, and burst into tears at the shopkeeper, "We really don't know this Hong Keguan, we just met casually on the street, who would have thought ......?"

"Why do you two have to talk to him?" The shopkeeper's tone was not harsh.

"Because he is the only guest walking on the street, he is obviously a newcomer who has come for the first time, so we ......" Jiang Erpi saw a little hope, "We are also people on the road, and it is not unusual to see this kind of thing in the spring courtyard in the city." Moreover, the entourage of Hong Keguan did not know our names at all, so we immediately returned to the city, and never came out again, so that they could not find it. ”

"Well, that's a way to do that, too." The shopkeeper agreed.

Jiang and Zheng were overjoyed, and just about to thank them, the shopkeeper said: "But the corpse inside is still a trouble." ”

"We went to bury it, buried it far away, and by the time we were found, we would have become skeletons, and no one would recognize them."

The shopkeeper thought for a while, "Don't be so troublesome, you brought the people, and the corpses should naturally be taken away by you, and they should be sent wherever they come from." ”

"Ah, we don't know where Officer Hong came from."

"Wherever you came from, take the corpses back."

Jiang and Zheng were dumbfounded.

The vehicle outside had been prepared, the corpse was carried up, Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were forced to enter the carriage, guarding the corpse, not daring to move or speak.

The curtain of the car was tightly blocked, and the two of them didn't know it at dawn, but they only felt that the car was running for a long time, and they didn't stop all the way, and they were not interrogated when they entered the city gate.

The car stopped, no one came to greet them, Jiang and Zheng waited for a while, and finally couldn't help but be curious and jumped out of the car.

The shopkeeper, the men, and the coachman were all gone, but the mules, horsewhips, and other things were all there, just as much.

"They are really kind enough to send us back to Erlang Temple." Zheng Sanhun was overjoyed.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the brothers hurriedly ran into the temple to find Fan Dajian, and without saying what was in the car, they dragged him out to check.

Fan Dajian was both shocked and angry, and hurriedly asked the two of them to drive the car to a secluded place in the backyard of Erlang Temple, and asked in a low voice.

Jiang and Zheng didn't dare to hide it anymore, and they all confessed to it.

The more Fan Dajian listened, the more confused he became, he mustered up the courage to get into the car to check the corpse, found a purse, took out the contents and looked at it, and was so frightened that his soul was gone, and ordered Jiang and Zheng to guard the corpse.

"Who is the one who died?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"Yes, it's a colt."
