Chapter Fifty-Eight: All Have Greed
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
The father-in-law passed away, the third and sixth brothers fled, Zhao's house was empty, the brothers fell apart, and the so-called backer fell down......
In the 39th Lang Hu Gui Independent Courtyard, he lost his soul and thought of the yellow dog, and suddenly understood what it meant to be a "lost dog".
"Even dogs can act." Hu Guida was angry and funny, the reason why he and the sixteenth brother were fooled was that he thought that Hu Guiyang and the He sisters and brothers had already escaped, because of the whimpering dog, how could he not guess that it was pretending.
Hu Guida slowly walked back to the small courtyard at the back.
Sixteen Lang Hu Guiqi had already woken up and was struggling on the ground, but the rope was tied too tightly, no matter how he tossed, it was all in vain, and when he saw Brother Sanjiu, he stopped.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
"Untie." Hu Guiqi ordered coldly.
Hu Guida slowly squatted down, "Brother Sixteen, why do you say this?" ”
"What, why?"
"We, the righteous son of the Zhao family, forty people grew up together, like brothers, but as soon as the father-in-law died, the bones were not cold, and we began to kill each other, ten of them have died, and the remaining thirty ...... Alas. ”
Hu Guiqi's eyes became colder and colder, "It's useless to ask me, it's not me who made the decision." ”
After waiting for a while, Hu Guiqi added: "Maybe it's because we're not brothers, and my stepfather doesn't treat us as his own sons." ”
"You still think that our father-in-law is not good enough for us?"
"My father-in-law had a biological son, if he was still alive, he would never be a captain of the school, he would study to gain fame, or do something else, in short, he would not follow his father-in-law to arrest the thieves, and the father-in-law took us to a dead end, and we will never be recognized by the court."
Hu Guida shook his head, "You're not right, have you forgotten the scene when we were trapped in Broken Teng Gorge and preparing to be castrated?" It was our father-in-law who rescued us, and that alone ......"
"Do you really think we're better off than the castrated people?"
Hu Guida's face showed an angry face, "Brother Sixteen is going to say Wang Zhi, he is one in a thousand, one in a thousand, he is really cleansed, none of us will have his status, and - Wang Zhi is finished, and he went back to the palace as a eunuch, I am afraid that there will be no time to turn over in this life." Remember? It was the fifth brother who overthrew Wang Zhi. You should remember that you are the fifth brother's person and obey him. ”
Hu Guiqi stared at Hu Guida, hoping to use his ordinary authority to force the other party to submit, "Since you know that the fifth brother is more important than me...... I'm not the dispensable Zhao family's righteous son, I'm Jinyiwei! ”
"That's right, you are a brocade guard, it's really enviable, forty brothers, only seven brocade guards, so to put it mildly, the father-in-law is really a little unfair, just with our merits, there should be at least twenty brocade guards."
"You still have a chance." Hu Guiqi is not good at persuading others, so he can only speak hard at this time, because Hu Guida's eyes glanced at the waist knife next to him from time to time, which made him flustered, "Jinyiwei has changed adults, and the fifth brother is being valued, and he will give all brothers an identity." ”
"Really?"
"The fifth brother told me personally."
Hu Guida slowly reached out and picked up the waist knife on the ground, it was Hu Guiqi's knife, "Do you believe the words of the fifth brother?" ”
"Fifth brother doesn't need to lie, there is a reason for killing those brothers before, one is to force the demon fox to show up, and the other is to give medicine to the eunuchs, now that the demon fox has been caught, the eunuchs have been frustrated, the reason is gone, why did the fifth brother kill his own brothers? Brother Sanjiu, think about it carefully, although you have taken refuge in the eldest brother, the eldest brother has bowed to the fifth brother, and we are all the brothers of the fifth brother. ”
Hu Guiqi rarely said so much, and he talked about "brother" again.
Hu Guida nodded in agreement, and the tip of the knife was pressed against the rope on Hu Guiqi's chest, as if to cut it, "There is another reason why you didn't say: our brothers all have to die, and in the end there is only one left, and he is 'God'." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hu Guiqi was surprised.
"It turns out that you don't know yet, then you will be a victim sooner or later, why don't I do you a favor."
The tip of the knife did not cut the rope, but slowly pierced into the skin, Hu Guiqi did not dodge, he knew that the more he dodged, the more serious the knife wound became, he could only resist with luck, and at the same time, he did everything possible to convince the brother who held the knife.
"Kill me, Fifth Brother won't let you go. Untie the rope, I won't take revenge on you, and I won't mention it to anyone, and this matter will be over. As for Hu Guiyang, he has a strange temperament, and if he says to run away, he will run away, and the two of us don't have to be responsible for this......"
"Brother Sixteen, do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Hu Gui asked, and the knife in his hand stopped advancing.
"What? I...... Unbelief. Hu Guiqi gave Zhao Jiayizi's most standard answer.
"I don't believe it either, but some do. Remember? In those cases we have investigated together, how many people have gone bankrupt because of their belief in ghosts and gods, and how many people have killed innocent people because of this? Even with baby alchemy. The righteous father said that behind the demons must be greed, some people are greedy for life, some people are greedy for money, some people are greedy for sex, everyone is greedy, so the ghosts and gods are endless. Maybe the righteous father was mistaken, all along, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers to find the demon fairy, but the results were all fake, in fact, the ghosts and gods are in our hearts, living in all greed. ”
"Brother ...... Three-Nine"
Hu Guida didn't hesitate anymore, he stabbed the knife into it with force in his hand, watched the blood gushing out, looked at the sixteenth brother's face darkened, his heart became more and more firm, "Don't worry, the person who killed you is not me, nor the third or sixth brother, we don't have this ability, it is the He family's sister and brother, He Sanjie knocked you out, He Wu madman tied you up, you sobered up and spoke disrespectfully, He Wu madman killed you in a rage." The third and sixth brothers interceded for me, so I narrowly escaped, but I was also knocked unconscious. ”
Before he said half of his words, Hu Guiqi's face was no longer angry, only a pair of eyes were still open.
"You can be killed, so you're not an immortal." Hu Guida let go of the handle of the knife, stood up, gritted his teeth, and slammed the table with all his strength, but he did not faint, but his forehead was bleeding and quickly swollen.
He felt that this was enough, and he lay on the ground for a while, recalling the bits and pieces of Zhao's house, and about touching the third and sixth brothers had already walked away, staggering to the street, and let out a howl hoarsely.
Hu Guiyang did not leave the city.
A lame person, a woman with her whole body tightly covered, and a "famous" demon slayer, it is almost impossible to escape from the capital by concealing her whereabouts all the way.
Hu Guiyang hired a mule cart and went straight back to his home in the north.
It is close to the most famous spring courtyard alleys in the capital, and the gold and silver are unimpeded, whether it is people or things, they can set the price, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other.
So, the three people who were dressed exactly like Hu Guiyang and the He sisters and brothers, hired a car to go out of the city from Chaoyangmen, all the way non-stop, and went straight to Tongzhou, where they would spend money to hire a boat, go down the river for two hundred miles south, and then restore their original appearance, and do what they should do with their silver.
Although the request was a little strange, the silver given was a lot, it was like a pie falling from the sky, Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun couldn't wait to take it, and they didn't want to let go, so they quickly found a dusty woman and went out of the city happily, all as if it was a trip.
In the eyes of these two people, Hu Guiyang will soon enter Jinyiwei as a big official, no matter how strange the request is, it is very reasonable, and there is no doubt that there is no other inside story, Jiang Erpi also lent his house to Lord Hu for use.
Hu Guiyang didn't know how long he could hide his whereabouts, maybe two or three days, or maybe he couldn't wait for dark, but he had no more options.
The Jiang family was dilapidated and cramped, everything that was worth the money was sold, the pots and pans were dirty and broken, and the gamblers left a lot of tatters, with almost nowhere to put their feet.
He Sanjie entered the house first, handed over the robes and hats, and He Wulunatic kept guarding the door, responsible for passing, and did not let anyone in.
The impostor left, and the five madmen were still guarding the door, facing the patio, and said angrily: "Hu Guiyang, what's going on?" It doesn't matter that there are fewer and fewer servants in the big house, and now you have moved to this kind of place, which is smaller and more dilapidated than your original home. ”
Hu Guiyang stood at the gate of the courtyard, peeking out through the crack in the door, "It's just a temporary stay, we'll move out later." ”
"Don't move to a kennel-like place again."
"I'll go out, I'll pick you up later, don't open the door to anyone except me, just say that Jiang Erpi is going to Nancheng."
"Go and get back."
Hu Guiyang turned his head and smiled, "Look at the flatbread, don't let it run around." ”
The flatbread is sniffing everywhere and is very interested in the garbage all over the floor.
Hu Guiyang didn't care about the size of the house, but the Jiang family often had gamblers coming to the door, which was too unsafe and had to find another place to stay.
Jiang Erpi also bought a few sets of clothes before, Hu Guiyang put them on, pretended to be a rich man, went out with silver, twisted around, and found a family in the alley of the company.
This home was chosen for one reason, it was big enough and had a garden.
Hu Guiyang knocked on the door, and soon someone came out to greet him, and negotiated a business in a few words, and when he said goodbye, he was already the "brother-in-law" of this family.
In the alley of this company, this is an extremely ordinary business, three hundred taels of silver, rent a small building in the garden for a month, the price is so high that it can scare people to death, but with the building "gift" a beauty, take out three meals a day, basically, all the guests who have lived, the final cost will be far more than three hundred taels.
Hu Guiyang returned to Jiang's house and said to He Wumad: "I have to trouble your sister and brother to pretend to be servants." ”
"Huh? Again? Ten days have passed, and there is no bet, why should I be your servant, let alone my sister. ”
"I don't have time to explain now, go and ask your sister, if she doesn't agree, I'll think of another way."
He Wu also knew that something was wrong, and hesitated for a moment, "I'll ask my sister." ”
A voice came from inside the room, "I'm ready to go out at any time." ”
The door opened, and a person walked out, and He Wu madman didn't have time to stop it, so he called out "sister" in surprise.
Third Sister He actually changed her clothes in advance, and her current appearance is completely a handsome and handsome little girl.
"Hey, sister, how do you know to pretend to be a servant?"
Third Sister He smiled slightly and said to Hu Guiyang: "Is this okay?" ”
Hu Guiyang was dumbfounded, although the image of He Sanjie appeared in his mind many times, he still felt surprised and inexplicably flustered at this time.
