Hu Guiyang suddenly became busy, and the next morning, he went to the West Factory to be on duty, and only stayed for less than half an hour, replacing ten people to stay, and the others were sent home, including himself.

On the way home, he first went to the Guanyin Temple Hutong.

Vacant for less than a year, Zhao's house showed decay everywhere, somewhat similar to the old forest layer dyed by practice.

A bookkeeper handed Hu Guiyang a large set of keys with a note on them indicating their purpose, and he took the trouble to introduce them.

"I haven't seen you before." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

The bookkeeper also smiled: "I was recruited to the Shi family three months ago, and Captain Hu used to come here often?" ”

"This used to be my home." Hu Guiyang laughed twice, dispelling the emotion in his heart, "Thank you, it's nothing to do with you, after I go back, thank Captain Shi for me." ”

The bookkeeper took his leave.

Hu Guiyang stood under the shadow wall for a while, laughed twice, turned around and left with the key, went to Erlang Temple to find Fan Dajian, and gave him the key, "Find me some people to clean Zhao's house." ”

Fan Dajian took the key enthusiastically, and when he heard this, his face immediately changed, "It's a murderous house, and no one wants to be a servant, unless you are willing to spend a lot of money." ”

"It's just a clean today, and they don't need to stay for a long time."

"That's fine." Fan Dajian smiled again.

"I'll settle accounts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, look down on me? How much can this little thing cost? Wrap it around me. Fan Dajian has a manor, and he is by no means poor, but there is another reason why he is so generous, so he leaned closer and whispered: "The spring courtyard in the city is very cooperative, and they are all willing to pay for me to open up the joints." ”

"You're just asking for money like that?" Hu Guiyang was a little surprised.

"Of course not, I sold them all kinds of talismans: amulets, amulets, liulang talismans, peace talismans...... In short, everything you need. ”

"What kind of talisman did the Ren family buy?"

"Your ...... That Ren? ”

"What's mine, this Hutong Ren family."

"Fortune Charm and Tenderness Talisman."

"Would you write such a character?"

"One law can be used for ten thousand laws, learn now." Fan Dajian said proudly that this is indeed what he is good at.

"Give me a talisman, and I'll give it to the Ren family."

"It's already been delivered."

"I'll send another one."

Fan Dajian shook his head, "It's not that I'm not interested enough, business is business, there is no free gift, as soon as this wind opens, my reputation will be lost in the future." ”

asked someone to clean the house, Fan Dajian was willing to pay, but he didn't do it when he gave him a blind talisman.

Hu Guiyang grabbed a handful of copper coins and broken silver from his arms, "Is it enough?" ”

"You don't take the runes of our Erlang Temple too seriously. Forget it, give you a talisman, keep an account, and give it to me when you have money, don't forget, I will remind you often. ”

Fan Dajian has a drawn talisman, which is packed in a wooden box, and the outer bread is clothed with brocade, and a suppression talisman is drawn on the clothes, and the buyer must burn incense and bathe before he can open the box to take the talisman.

Hu Guiyang held the box in both hands, walked out of the temple gate, changed to a box with his right arm, and came all the way to Ren's house.

Business in the alley has not been good lately, and it is even more deserted in the first month of the year, so that there are no pedestrians on the streets, and even the scoundrels who often wander here have disappeared.

Hu Guiyang knocked on the door for a long time before someone inside answered.

It was almost noon, but the old bustard was sleepy-eyed, her hair was not combed, she was casually tied up, her face was full of impatience, even when the business was booming, few customers would come to the door at this time, she thought she was here to collect debts.

Seeing Hu Guiyang, the old bustard immediately smiled, grabbed an arm and dragged it in, and let out a long series of sighs in his mouth, like a strange bird in a cage, "Oops...... Captain Hu came to ......"

Hu Guiyang pushed the old bustard away, "I'll invite a talisman for your family in Erlang Temple." ”

The old bustard's face lit up, he was happier than seeing two hundred taels of silver, worse than three hundred taels, snatched the box, and hugged his hands tightly in his arms, "Fan Zhenren painted it himself?" ”

"Of course, he has this ability in the temple."

"Fan Zhenren's talisman is the most effective, I wanted to ask for another one, but the price in the temple is too high, Captain Hu really saved my family's life......" The old bustard nagged for a long time, finally understood the guest's intentions, and led him to the backyard, "My daughter washes her face with tears every day, looking forward to Captain Hu's coming." ”

"Where's the man in your family?" Hu Guiyang interrupted the bustard.

"They all went out to play, but they didn't know how to worry, they went to gamble as soon as they entered the New Year, and they had to lose all their money to go home, every year, this year...... Last year, the economy was so bad, and they didn't take it to heart, saying that they wanted to win it back, I ...... it."

When he arrived in Ren Liu's room, the old bustard finally shut up, handed Hu Guiyang to Yahuan, and went to freshen up himself.

Yahuan smiled: "Brother-in-law came so early, Sister Durian hasn't gotten up yet, you can go in and urge her yourself." ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Don't call me 'brother-in-law' anymore, I get goosebumps when I hear these two words, she's sleeping, I'll wait here for a while." ”

"Captain Hu is still embarrassed." Yahuan didn't mean to be embarrassed, she was still enthusiastic, brought tea, and helped him sweep the dust off his clothes.

Hu Guiyang took out all the copper coins and broken silver in his arms and piled them on the table, "I'll give them all to you." ”

This trick really worked, Yahuan immediately put down the duster and pounced on the table, "Brother-in-law...... The captain really hurts, Sister Du'er is blessed......"

"Go buy me something."

"What to buy?" Yahuan stuffed the money into her sleeves, arms, and buns, and her movements were neat, probably because she often hid her private money.

"Buy some snacks, the kind you don't usually eat."

Yahuan happily went out, and the room finally quieted down, Hu Guiyang breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "There is a successor to the old bustard." ”

It's the first month of the new year, and Yahuan has to run a lot of laps to find the shop that opens.

Ren Liu'er lived in the warm pavilion and didn't make a sound, Hu Guiyang waited impatiently, and his stomach was a little hungry, so he got up and came to the door, knocked lightly twice, knocked twice, and coughed twice, but there was no response inside.

Hu Guiyang pushed the door and entered.

The warm pavilion is warm like spring, full of rich fragrance, as the pillar of the family, her residence is better than that of the old bustard.

Hu Guiyang had been here before, so he went straight to the bed.

There were people lying on the bed, and it was so hot in the room, and the quilt still covered the whole body tightly, revealing only a strand of hair.

Hu Guiyang didn't hesitate anymore, lifted the quilt, and as expected, there were pillows and rolled-up clothes underneath, and there was really only a strand of hair.

A laugh came from the door, "I knew that my brother-in-law had ulterior motives for taking me away." ”

Yahuan couldn't see the situation on the bed, Hu Guiyang turned around and asked, "Did you buy the things back?" ”

"No, I'll get a guy to help. Okay, I'm not an eyesore here......"

"What time does your sister usually get up?"

"Ask my sister, don't you know? Hehe, my brother-in-law's lieutenant is really painful, I am reluctant to wake up my sister, it's okay, Sister Durian usually gets up very early, she said that there is a morning sunrise, and she can stay old and recuperate. Recently, I may be in a bad mood and get up late, but it's not so late, I must be making trouble and not liking to talk, and my brother-in-law coaxes my sister to ......"

Hu Guiyang turned around and grabbed a pillow and threw it to Yahuan, "Your sister has changed her appearance." ”

Yahuan hugged the pillow, stunned for a moment, and then smiled for a while: "What kind of joke is this made by my brother-in-law?" ”

"Come and see."

Hu Guiyang got out of the way, Yahuan came over to look at the bed, and was stunned again, "What about people?" ”

"Yes, what about people?"

"I, I don't know, last night I served my sister to bed early, she said she had a headache, she didn't let me in to disturb, I kept ......" Yahuan suddenly turned around and ran, still holding the pillow in her arms.

After a while, the old bustard came, and the rouge on his face was only half drawn, and it was even more hideous than when he was not groomed, "What about my daughter?" ”

Hu Guiyang already understood what was going on, walked around the house, didn't find a clue, and said with a smile: "Could it be that I went shopping?" ”

"She's a girl, she usually doesn't go out of the door, she doesn't take anyone around, what kind of street do she go to?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a street far away."

The old bustard was stunned for a moment and cried.

Hu Guiyang was about to leave, but was grabbed by the old bustard and cried: "You return my daughter!" ”

"What's my business?"

"As soon as you came, your daughter was gone, it must have been your collusion."

"Your daughter ran away last night, and I only came this morning to deliver a letter to you? Or is it self-defeating? Of course I don't know. ”

The old bustard also felt unreasonable, let go of Hu Guiyang, and pounced on Yahuan, "It's you ......"

Hu Guiyang took the opportunity to leave the house and left Ren's house quickly, feeling funny in his heart, and admiring Ren Liu'er a little, she really dared to run away from home.

Hu Guiyang went home to eat some cold food, and then went to Erlang Temple to find Fan Dajian to inquire about Yuan Mao's residence, guessing that he must be at home at this time.

"Yuan Mao just changed his new home, and he lives not far away, so I'll accompany you, just to go to his house for a tooth sacrifice." Fan Dajian locked the bedroom door, and said with a smile after leaving the temple: "You kidnapped Ren Liu'er away?" ”

"Hey, the news is spreading so fast?"

"It has spread all over the capital." Fan Dajian exaggerated.

"What did you say?"

"Said to be a captain in brocade clothes, soaked in Ren's house every day, the money was exhausted, and he didn't want to leave the beauty, so he made a trick, and the next statement is not the same, kill and bury, elope hand in hand, Jinwu Zangjiao, etc., which one do you choose?"

"I chose to cheat money and people in the name of elopement, and then kill and bury them, leaving no trace, and still be my captain."

Fan Dajian laughed, and after walking out of the road, he said: "I found someone to clean up the murderous house for you, don't say it, I really have the courage to volunteer, I volunteered to stay as a servant, and the salary I asked for was not much, but I don't know how long he can last." ”

"I try to make sure that there are no more dead people in the house, and if it is haunted, I can't help it."

"Rest assured, tonight...... Tomorrow morning, I'll do something to exorcise ghosts. This is Fan Dajian's business, but he has lingering feelings about Zhao Zhai and does not dare to go at night.

Yuan Mao's house is indeed not far away, and it will soon arrive, it is a small mansion, slightly larger than Hu's house, the house is neat, and it has obviously been carefully purchased.

After knocking on the door for a long time, Yuan Mao came out to open the door, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled and said: "I also said that I would go to you for a drink later, but the two of them came, go, I know that there is a restaurant nearby that is open today." ”

Fan Dajian didn't care, Hu Guiyang said: "The first time I came to your house, didn't let me go in to have a look?" ”

Yuan Mao hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "A small courtyard, no different from your family." ”

Hu Guiyang didn't insist anymore, "Then forget it, I thought it was inconvenient for you to let us in because you have a family." ”

Fan Dajian said: "Everyone is the same, they are all singles, no, three, where are the family members?" Let's go to the restaurant. ”

Fan Dajian knew which restaurant it was, led the way, Yuan Mao locked the courtyard door, and walked behind with Hu Guiyang.

"You kid, just kidnap people, why don't you let me go?" Hu Guiyang asked in a low voice.

Yuan Mao's face changed suddenly, and then he smiled awkwardly: "I thought I could hide it for a few more days." ”
