Chapter 416: Sycophancy

Hu Guiyang held a wine glass and smiled, and it was the kind of inappropriate smile, as if he was examining a guy who didn't drink well but had to drink in a big bowl.

Fan Dajian put down his wine glass, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"You want to find the Divine Jade?"

"Everybody wants to."

"Find the Divine Jade, are you handing it in? Or do you want to keep it yourself? ”

"We are all from the East Palace, of course we will hand it over to the East Palace."

"There are a lot of people in the East Palace, who will it be handed over?"

"Who else but the prince?"

"And then?"

Fan Dajian was asked weakly, "Then ...... You are such a smart person that you can't even think of such a thing? ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I don't understand at all." ”

"Of course, it is the crown prince who absorbs divine power and becomes a unique stranger in the world, and from then on, his position will be consolidated, and there will be no future troubles, and the status of the East Palace will also rise, and we will be able to get benefits immediately."

Hu Guiyang showed a look of sudden realization, "I see, I thought you were going to incite the prince to rebel." ”

Fan Dajian also suddenly realized, "What are you talking about?" Besides, the prince is not that kind of person. Hu Guiyang, your problem is that sometimes you are too smart. ”

"Come, drink." Hu Guiyang drank it all.

The two drank three glasses in a row, and Fan Dajian said: "Just listen to me, you haven't answered me yet, agree or disagree?" ”

"Hmm...... I'm thinking about one thing. ”

"What do you think?"

"After the crown prince absorbs divine power, he will be valued and favored by the emperor, and his status will be worry-free from now on, right?"

"Yes, although Your Majesty still has a few princes, which one can compare with the Inhuman Prince?"

"What if you had divine powers?"

"Me?"

"Imagine that the Lingji Palace is still working hard to make medicines, and other monks and Taoist priests are still trying to pretend to be gods and ghosts, but you are the only living immortal in this world, and you are admired by everyone, and your status is more stable than serving the East Palace?"

Fan Dajian really thought for a while, and his heart was pounding, but he was not so confused that he couldn't hear the sarcasm, and put down the wine glass again, "Do you think I also have greed and refuse to hand it over after getting the divine jade?" ”

"The silver you promised me at the beginning, but you didn't send a tael, is it greedy?"

Fan Dajian laughed, "Hu Guiyang, Hu Guiyang, as for it, just for a little silver, make such a big turn, don't worry, those silver will be kept as a congratulatory gift when you get married." But I understand what you mean, we can find the whereabouts of the divine jade, and then ask the prince to pick it up in person, won't it be safe? ”

"We're safe, what if it's a trap? If something happens to the prince, who can be responsible? ”

Fan Dajian was silent for a long time, "You don't plan to contact Shenyu again?" ”

"No, the farther away from it, the better. Old Dao, you don't need to give me a congratulatory gift, just ask me for an antidote from Lingji Palace. ”

"You're poisoned?"

"It's Zuo Yu, he tricked me into taking the medicine of Lingji Palace, saying that it was ......"

"The antidote is divided into two parts, take one first, and then take another later?"

"Do you know what this medicine is?" Hu Guiyang was overjoyed.

"You've been having stomach troubles, panicking, and weakness lately, haven't you?"

"The more you say, the more you make sense."

"Ah, it's okay, there's no need for an antidote, it's a laxative, and the biggest harm is that it lasts longer, a month, right? It will be fine in two or three days. ”

Hu Guiyang was taken aback, "Laxative...... But what's the matter with my panic and weakness? ”

"The panic is caused by the fear that you think you are poisoned; It's easier to be weak and weak, even if you are a god, you will have diarrhea at both ends in three days, and your body will be weak. ”

Hu Guiyang was stunned for a while, "I always remind others not to believe in pretending to be a ghost, but I have been deceived, and Zuo Yu is usually so calm, but he will actually ...... Forget it, he's dead, there's nothing to complain about. ”

After two more drinks, Fan Dajian said: "I still want to find Shenyu, can you give me a hint?" ”

"Where did I get the prompt?"

"One point is enough, at least tell me whether Shenyu is in Tongzhou or in the capital."

"The capital." Hu Guiyang said with certainty.

"Really?" Fan Dajian's eyes lit up.

"Hidden treasures must be in a place that you are more familiar with, so as not to be carried away by irrelevant people, like the mistakes I made before. Chen Xun has lived in the capital for a long time, and the treasure is naturally in the capital. ”

"That's right, you're right, give a little more hint, just a little." Fan Dajian was so excited that he almost knelt down and begged for it.

"Hmm...... His house must have been turned upside down by Jinyiwei, and his own house couldn't escape, so these two places are not places to hide treasures. ”

"What's more, it's really digging three feet into the ground, and the entire Nansi Foreign Office has moved, but wherever Chen Xun often goes, none of them are immune to disasters, but they can't find the slightest clue about Shenyu."

"If you can't find a place, you have to find someone."

"Looking for someone?"

"Chen Xun may have given the Shenyu to someone to collect, so it is not in the place he frequents."

"Dongchang has already interrogated Chen Xun's acquaintances, and he didn't even let go of his neighbors, and now there are still people in prison, and there are still no clues."

"Maybe the person who hid the treasure didn't know it was a divine jade at all, so he couldn't confess."

"That's difficult, unless Chen Xun comes back from the dead, who else can find the divine jade?"

"That's all I have for you."

"It's not a hint, it's speculation." Fan Dajian smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and sighed, "I've been thinking about it lately, what a great opportunity, if I can find the ...... of Shenyu"

"Let's just rebel, I will be the military advisor, you will be the national teacher, Yuan Mao will be the emperor, and Ren Liu'er will be the ......"

Fan Dajian's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly came over to cover his mouth, "Ancestor, don't talk nonsense, this is the capital, not a wilderness village." ”

"You were the one who thought about it first." Hu Guiyang pushed away the old man's hand.

"Okay, I won't talk about it, let's just drink, you don't have to worry about the antidote and Shi Guida, and I don't mention Shenyu, it's okay, right?"

Fan Dajian returned drunk, and sure enough, he didn't mention Shenyu again.

Hu Guiyang slept until nearly noon, Lao Qiang came in with a basin, and said with a smile: "The master is awake, the carpenter has come to ask for wages." ”

"Carpenter?"

"A carpenter who built a house in the house."

Hu Guiyang washed up quickly, and Lao Qiang nagged on the side, "Master, don't blame me for being timid and afraid before, it's really ...... There are too many brocade guards, and whoever sees them is afraid. But Mrs. Hua is right, so many brocade guards haven't taken the master away, so it's okay......"

"Take me to the carpenter." Hu Guiyang said.

The person who came was the elder Bai Sheng, chatting for a few words, and when the servant withdrew, he immediately said, "We thought that Captain Hu would not come back." ”

"You're choosing a leader again?"

"No, no, I've been looking for Shenyu."

"Haven't found it yet?"

"Under the guidance of Captain Hu, we searched many places and asked many people before Jinyiwei, but we found nothing, but we attracted the attention of Dongchang and sent someone to warn us once."

"So you just gave up?"

"I didn't give up, and I was still secretly looking for clues. Captain Hu, it's good for you to come back, everyone is discussing, this matter still has to be presided over by Captain Hu, and no one else can do it. ”

"Is it good to preside over this?"

"Of course, the position of the Sect Master ......"

"I'm already the sect leader, but you don't recognize me, and you still call me 'school captain'. And I've thought about it, I'm an outsider, and I'm not familiar with everyone in the sect, even if I become the true sect leader, nine times out of ten I will be hollowed out, which is not interesting. ”

Bai Sheng smiled and said: "Captain Hu, no, no, Sect Leader Hu, waiting for you to sit on the Divine Jade, who dares to stand in the air?" ”

"If you find the Divine Jade, will you send it to me?"

"Of course the Divine Jade belongs to the Sect Master, and the Sect Master is definitely willing to share it with us, right? We don't want much, a little is enough, just be an ordinary alien. ”

Hu Guiyang nodded, "This is fair, you step back first, let me think about it, Chen Xun is just a scribe, can he still hide the divine jade in the sky?" ”

"The sect leader will make a move, and this search for jade will definitely be successful." Bai Sheng said goodbye excitedly.

Hu Guiyang put on a shelf, didn't get up to see off the guests, sat in the hall and muttered: "Forget it, Bai Sheng was originally a man, and he even learned to pat sycophants for the sake ......of Shenyu."

The matter is not over yet, Hu Guiyang has just eaten a few bites of food, and someone has come to visit again, this time it is Wei Ying from Xichang.

Wei Ying was full of spring breeze, and as soon as she entered the hall, she smiled and said: "Yesterday, I heard that Captain Hu returned to Beijing, thinking that Captain Hu was tired all the way and would inevitably have to rest more, so I didn't come to visit until today." ”

Hu Guiyang pointed to the food on the table, "Do you want to eat some?" ”

"Nope." Wei Ying waved her hand and sat down by herself.

Hu Guiyang ignored him and ate by himself, Wei Ying sat for a while, slightly embarrassed, and saw Hu Guiyang put down his chopsticks, and hurriedly said: "I'm coming, one is to visit, and the other is ......."

"Wait a minute." Hu Guiyang picked up the spoon and drank the soup, and then continued to eat, unhurriedly, until there was no grain of rice left in the bowl, and then smiled: "Wei Baihu is in trouble?" ”

Wei Ying said with a smile: "Forget it, my business is not important, it is in vain to say it, please Captain Hu when he is free to go to the West Factory." ”

"I've been transferred back to Nansi, do you still want to send me something from the West Factory? It's really a good yamen who misses the old. ”

"Hehe, someone wants to see Captain Hu." Wei Ying got up and arched her hand: "I won't bother, if Captain Hu wants to go to Xichang, please send someone to send me a message in advance, I will arrange it." ”

"How's the factory going?" Hu Guiyang asked suddenly.

"The factory is very good, he won the battle in Liaodong, His Majesty is very happy, and he has given a lot of rewards to the factory and the West Factory."

"Well, it's much easier to see the enemy on the other side in a battle than to look for the divine jade."

Wei Ying laughed twice, "Captain Hu will be thorough at one point, and he will go to the West Factory tomorrow morning?" ”

"In the afternoon, you're right, I'm really tired, I need to get some more sleep in the morning."

"Follow Captain Hu's wishes." Wei Ying took her leave.

"Even the West Factory has become polite, only Nansi has not changed." Hu Guiyang shook his head.

The matter was still not over, and in the evening, Jinyiwei also came, a commander and a real official, one of Hu Guiyang's top bosses.

The two have never met, but the Tongzhi Lord is extremely kind, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, hinting that Wei Li can pay for the repair of Zhao's house, and only after a long time did he get to the point, "Although the north and south divisions are subordinate to Jinyi Wei, they each have their own skills to reach the sky, and there is no need to close Bai Benwei, Captain Hu is in the South Division, if you want to go up to the sky, you must pass through the East Factory, which is always separated by a layer." This guard may not be as beautiful as the two divisions, but there is no control at the top, and he can directly play His Majesty. You know what I mean, right? ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Forgive my subordinates for being ignorant and not understanding what the adults meant." ”

"Haha, I mean to say, if you have any treasures that you plan to offer to Your Majesty, you can go directly to the official, the credit is yours, the official doesn't want it at all, only responsible for playing. As for the two divisions and two factories, they are all experts in grabbing merit. Captain Hu understands this time, right? ”

"Understood, understood, the adult woke up the dreamer with a word. Please rest assured, if I have any treasures, I will send them to you first. ”

"Hehe, is Captain Hu still used to it in Nansi? Do you want to be transferred back to Weili? ”

"Nanji is good."

Hu Guiyang sent away Master Tongzhi, and felt more and more ridiculous.

In the afternoon of the next day, he went to the West Factory by appointment, and saw Wei Ying standing at the gate from a distance, thinking that the status of the person he wanted to see today was not low.

The celebrant is the most important among the eunuchs in the palace, and the eunuch with the palm seal is usually regarded as the head of the eunuchs.

Hu Guiyang saw Huai'en, and he didn't kneel, but smiled and said, "It turned out to be Huaigong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but something will happen when you see it." Huai En didn't pick a courtesy, stared at Hu Guiyang for a while, and sighed lightly, "Shenyu has been found, and trouble is coming." ”
