Everything has not changed in the West Factory, and there is one less Director Huo, which has no impact here.

Hu Guiyang arrived alone, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, someone stepped forward to take the reins, and the guards in front of the gate stepped aside and let him in, but no one came to lead the way as usual.

Hu Guiyang entered the courtyard, looked around, and was about to ask someone to ask, when he saw an acquaintance walking towards him.

"Lord Zhenfu, long time no see." Hu Guiyang smiled with a smile.

Nansi Zhenfu Liang Xiu is Hu Guiyang's nominal direct boss, and he usually treats him with an undisguised cold face, but today he showed a smile for the first time, "It's not too long." ”

As the two approached, Liang Xiu lowered his voice slightly, "I have to thank you." ”

"The affairs of the house are all handled by Yuan Mao, and I haven't done anything."

"It has nothing to do with the house, it's a case you're investigating."

"What's wrong with the case?"

Liang Xiu smiled and patted Hu Guiyang twice on the shoulder, "You weren't sent out by me, and what you did has nothing to do with Nansi." ”

"Yes."

"For that, I want to thank you." Liang Xiu laughed twice, and pointed to the room where he had just walked out of Xixiang, "Go there." ”

Hu Guiyang bowed his hand and said goodbye, "Calm down the adults and walk slowly, I will definitely work hard in the future to make the adults thank me more." ”

"Let's see if you have a chance." Liang Xiu was in a good mood and walked away.

The room is very small, with a few long desks, equipped with a stool, and the desk is pens and papers, etc., which seems to be a copying study.

Shi Guida stood under the window and said lightly, "You are here." ”

"Well, who's going to see me? Liang Xiu is from the East Factory, why did he come to the West Factory? ”

"The East and West Factories and the South Division are going to join forces to arrest Prince Dan, so he came over to talk, and the East Factory Zuo has just left."

"Prince Dan is in a catastrophe."

"I hope so, otherwise, I'm the unlucky one." Shi Guida was silent for a while, "Thank you for your previous guidance, the heroes of the capital are willing to help, I have found the whereabouts of Prince Dan." ”

"It's just a reminder. Who wants to see me? Hu Guiyang asked again.

"Wait a little longer." Shi Guida still refused to give a clear answer.

Hu Guiyang found a stool to sit down, looked up and smiled: "Does this look like a school when I was a child?" ”

Shi Guida smiled and nodded, "It's a little smaller." ”

"Well, who made the Zhao family have more brothers? What's the last name of that teacher? ”

The teaching gentleman in the Zhao family school has changed several times, Hu Guiyang just mentioned it casually, but Shi Guida knew who it was, "The surname is Fang, he has fought with the fifteenth brother." ”

"That's not a fight, Old Man Fang was beaten by Brother Fifteen, and he didn't have the strength to fight back, haha, Brother Fifteen was quite capable of fighting when he was a child."

Shi Guida had a smile on his face a little more, "Who made Old Man Fang drunk and had no virtue...... Forget it, it's all in the past, why mention it? ”

Hu Guiyang pushed away the pen and paper and lay on the desk, "I'll sleep here for a while, right?" ”

"It's fine." Shi Guida sat sideways on the windowsill and looked out the window - he couldn't see anything, he was just posting.

Hu Guiyang really fell asleep, woke up suddenly, and asked in surprise, "When is it?" ”

Shi Guida still maintained the posture just now, "It didn't take long. ”

"No one has come yet?"

"Here they are, they're discussing."

"Consult me?"

"Hmm."

"What's messing with them?"

"I don't know." After a pause, Shi Guida added: "Sometimes no one provokes anyone, but it just happens to be used, so it is chosen. ”

"Hehe, I hope they can use me well."

The two had nothing to say, Hu Guiyang was very bored, grinding ink and brushes, scribbling on paper to pass the time.

"Why are you here?"

"What?" Hu Guiyang stopped writing, "The factory sent someone to call me." ”

"Xichang summoned you yesterday, and specially asked that you should only be allowed to come alone, no one will monitor you along the way, and you have a chance to escape."

"I finally returned to the capital, why did I want to escape?"

Shi Gui's eyes were both confused and pitying, "Then why did you come back in the first place?" ”

Hu Guiyang let out a long breath and gently put the pen on the shelf, "Life in the mountains is too hard......"

"That's the reason, but it's not all, you're a little lazy to do, but you can also endure hardship, as long as you think it's worth it. There must be other reasons for returning to Beijing. ”

"You want to help me?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile.

Shi Gui was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask again, he can't protect himself now, he can't help Hu Guiyang, and there is really no need to know too much about the truth.

Hu Guiyang stretched his waist and said with a smile: "The reason why I came back is the same as the reason why some people want me to come back." ”

The door opened, and Shi Guida immediately got up and left the windowsill.

Two strange lieutenants in brocade clothes came first, guarding both sides of the door, not saying a word, and no one looking.

Shi Guida nodded to Hu Guiyang and left silently.

An old eunuch walked in.

Hu Guiyang looked at him, didn't get up, and said with a smile: "I know you, your name is ...... Huaien, who once used the pseudonym Tan Zhe to participate in the Five Elements Sect. ”

Wynne waved his hand, and the two lieutenants left, gently closing the door.

Wynne sat down behind the long desk next to him, "I used to do the work of copying paperwork for ten years and seven months—I didn't write a typo. ”

"Amazing, no wonder you can be promoted, you are ...... now"

"The celebrant is the eunuch."

"Wow!" Even Hu Guiyang, who didn't care about power, knew that the eunuch Bingbi was one of the best eunuchs in the palace, and he could compete with the first assistant of the court, so he immediately stood up.

"Sit down, you're not from the palace, so you don't have to be formal." Wynn said.

Hu Guiyang sat down and said with a smile: "Blame me for being lonely and unheard, you can know this kind of thing as soon as you ask." ”

"It's not that you're unheard, it's that you don't care."

"I've been busy since I returned to Beijing. I know why you changed your name Tan Zhe in the first place. ”

"Qin Ji is my master, and I copied documents under him at the beginning, so I used his name."

Huai En said the name of "Qin Ji" so easily, Hu Guiyang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I forgot, Lai Wangxi is a eunuch after all, and the Gun and Powder Bureau is only a temporary assignment, sooner or later he will still return to the palace, of course, everything must be reported." ”

"So you've already found the East Palace?"

"All kinds of news point there, and I'm just going to follow the vine."

"Well, which vines have you followed, tell me carefully."

"I'm the captain of the West Factory......"

"Yes, so I came to see you in Xichang, if you need Wang Zhi's personal order, I can ask him to come over."

"There's no need for that, let me take a closer look......" Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "Start from the beginning?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, the more detailed you say, the better."

Hu Guiyang coughed twice, "It would be nice if I could have a cup of tea to moisten my throat." ”

Wynne laughed, "Go ahead, let the people outside bring you a pot of tea, I'm thirsty too." ”

Hu Guiyang got up, opened the door and took a look, there were not only two captains at the door, but also two eunuchs, all the people in the West Factory were nowhere to be seen, he first raised a finger, then two fingers, "A pot of tea, two cups." ”

The tea was quickly brought and placed on the table in front of Huaien, and the accompanying eunuch immediately retreated after pouring tea.

Hu Guiyang took a sip of the cup, "Well, the tea in the West Factory is always good." ”

Wynne frowned slightly, as if he felt that the tea was very ordinary.

Hu Guiyang began to "confess": "It was still last year's demon fox case, and the conspiracy of He Million and others was foiled, but there is one thing I have never asked, and no one has told me: Is the target of their murder the emperor or the prince?" ”

Wynne laughed again, "You'll have to be glad it's not in the palace. ”

In the palace, just such a question can cause death.

Hu Guiyang didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you set a taboo for yourself from the beginning, you will never be able to find out the truth." ”

"You can investigate the truth as much as you want, but it's up to you to decide which truth can be revealed to the world."

"Of course, I don't have that ambition."

"Go on."

"Not long ago, I got the news that when the emperor visited Yunyang privately, he also brought the crown prince with him."

"Where's the news?"

"It's up to you to decide which truths can be revealed, and it's up to me to decide which truths can be revealed."

Wynne laughed twice, unlike ordinary eunuchs, he never spat dirty words, "Very good, you are still as bold as last year." ”

Hu Guiyang nodded slightly, took the other party's words as a compliment, and continued: "Why did the emperor take the crown prince to Yunyang? There is no need at all, if the emperor can find the method of immortality in Yunyang, the crown prince is superfluous, right? ”

Huai En smiled silently, Hu Guiyang's words were so bold that even he didn't dare to answer easily.

"So the prince must be useful. So a series of thoughts appeared in my mind, the Divine Son, the Living Pill, the Medicine, the Sacrifice, and so on, and then I came to a conclusion. ”

"Oh?"

"The prince is useful, useful from the beginning. Even if I expose He Million's conspiracy, the emperor still believes in the theory of ghosts and gods and strives for immortality, and the crown prince is one of the important ...... One medicine. I think that at the beginning, the eunuchs wanted to make soup for their descendants, but after being interrupted by my stepfather, they did not wake up and are still working hard. The emperor probably thought like this: He Million is just a loser on the way to immortality, just sweep it away, and immortality still has to continue to seek. ”

"That's all your guess, right?"

"My father-in-law said that the truth is often in desire, and desire is difficult to fill, so there is a saying of ghosts and gods."

"Ghosts are unpredictable, but not what you say...... Forget it, what am I telling you all about? You go on, what else do you know? ”

Hu Guiyang drank two sips of tea, "Manju Spring is actually a kind of alchemy medicine, just like ...... Pig food, pigs must be fed fat and fat, so that they can be slaughtered. But there are too many problems with this medicine, and it can't be used on the prince, so you have to test the medicine with other people, at first it was people who had been to Yunyang, and then the scope became larger and larger. That's it, the problem is solved little by little, I heard that it will be discontinued in March and April, and now it seems that February is about the same, right? ”

"You go on." Wynne won't answer any questions lightly.

"No, that's all for me, Zhang Yi was an accident that happened during the drug test, and I don't know what happened to Li Xingtian."

Wynne sighed softly, "Wang Zhi clearly pointed out the direction for you, but you didn't leave, but you had to guess wildly." ”

"Am I guessing wrong?"

Wynne still refused to answer, and took out a small box from his bosom and put it on the case, "I don't need to say anything more, it's your turn to test the medicine." ”

"Zhao Zhai Yiren eats this kind of medicine?"

"Hmm."

"Who's going to give you the medicine?"

For questions that have nothing to do with the secrets of the palace, Huaien is willing to answer, "Zhao Lixing." ”

"Hehe, he finally found a real big backer."

Hu Guiyang came to the front of the case, picked up the small box and opened it gently, and saw the two red pills inside, "Don't you need to mix wine?" ”

"It's getting better and better, and you can do without alcohol."

"Between going crazy and losing my memory, I hope it's going crazy."

Wynne smiled, "I hope it's the loss of memory, then you'll be good for everyone." ”

"I'll never know the whole truth, will I?"

"As I said, the power to publish the truth is not in your hands, nor in my hands. Eat it, take one first, and then another after an hour. ”

The two strangers were guarding the door, and Hu Guiyang had no other choice, "Since you're here." He laughed and took the first pill.
