Yuan Mao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I want to see the Emperor."

To Hu Guiyang, these are just five simple words, but to Yuan Mao, it sounds incredible.

"This is the capital, not Yunyang, there are no things like the Tianji Ship and Danxue to attract everyone's attention, and there is no private visit from the emperor." Yuan Mao reminded.

"How can I see the emperor later, but only the emperor can explain all the strange things at the moment, since I want to investigate the case, I have to ask clearly."

"Huh." Yuan Mao chuckled, "What about after asking clearly?" ”

"If someone is doing things behind the emperor's back, then things are much simpler."

"What if," Yuan Mao really didn't want to say, "......everything is out of the Holy Judgment?" ”

"Then I have to ask at least one reason, there are so many people in the palace and outside the palace, why do you have to play me alone?"

"If the whole thing is true...... West Garden, then the reason doesn't matter. ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm just thinking about it, and I haven't started to implement it yet." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"Your idea is quite dangerous, let me say a few more words, we did help Xiyuan, it was a coincidence, not to mention ordinary people, even if it was a civil and military official of the Manchu Dynasty, there were many people who had never seen Xiyuan in their lives."

"Are you saying that our opportunities have run out and there will be no more in the future?"

Yuan Mao nodded, "You can rest at home for two days, leave the outside affairs to me and Lao Dao, and we will find a suitable stranger for you to come over no matter what." ”

"Inhumans aren't that easy to find, and you two aren't the chosen 'props', and if you don't agree with each other, you'll be killed by Inhumans."

Yuan Mao smiled slightly, "It's your ability to disagree with each other, and I will never annoy any stranger with Lao Dao." You just have to promise me one thing, don't go out, and if things are really as complicated as you say, you'd better find a way out of it than ask around for the reason. ”

"You're right, even if the truth is revealed, what good will it do me?"

"Yes, this is Hu Guiyang, instead of thinking about those impossible things, it is better to think more about what you will do when you have the money in the future - the old Tao said, he will share it with you, at least half."

"The old man is really generous."

"That's not enough to compensate you for the favors we owe you." Yuan Mao stared at Hu Guiyang, "We can go out with confidence, right?" ”

Hu Guiyang nodded, Yuan Mao was a little relieved, went out to call Fan Dajian, and left Zhao's house together.

After hearing what Yuan Mao said, Fan Dajian said in surprise: "He's sick again!" ”

"So we'll have to find him a suitable Inhuman as soon as possible."

"I haven't found a few factories in the east and west, where can we find them?"

"When I go to Wuque Hutong, one of the intentions of Manhu Spring is to find strangers, and there must be clues there."

Fan Dajian looked at Yuan Mao's brocade lieutenant uniform, and then looked at the Taoist robe on his body, "If you want to inquire about the news, you'd better change your clothes, let's not ride a horse, hire a car, I have acquaintances over there." ”

Yuan Mao smiled knowingly.

"Don't think too much, it's a man, not a woman, since I want to mediate, of course, the leaders of both sides have to know each other, is it possible that I can make peace with one sentence?"

"Yes, you are a monk." Yuan Mao said with a smile, go home first, change into civilian clothes, and hire a car with Lao Dao to go out of the city.

The spring courtyard in the city is still deserted, the black magpie alley has begun to resume its liveliness, the sky is not yet dark, there are guests on the street, most of them pretend to come to buy goods, ask here, look there, there is a group of idlers in the alley, pick the brightly dressed new customers to start, come forward to talk, according to the amount of money, lure him to different shops.

There are many shops in Wuque Hutong, not all of them have girls, and those who do serious business are extremely disgusted with the customers on the street and never give a good face.

Tongxing shop is like this, the shopkeeper's surname is white, the guys are sent home for the holidays, the shopkeeper only comes once in a few months, and when he comes, he checks the accounts and takes the money, and the whole shop is supported by the white shopkeeper alone, and he is especially disgusted with those sneaky guests.

"The business was all ruined, the business in the former Wuque Hutong was not too good, but there was no such miasma, everyone met, called each other 'shopkeeper', and asked about the good and bad goods. Nowadays, they are all referred to as 'dad', and all they inquire about is whose family bought a little girl and whose guests are generous...... Alas, the world is going down, and I don't have the face to introduce my shop to outsiders. ”

The white shopkeeper nagged all the way, Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian sat opposite, and they couldn't say a word.

When he finally paused, Fan Dajian immediately introduced: "This is Yuan Mao, the captain of Jinyi, and this is the white shopkeeper of Tongxing Shop, and I am an old acquaintance." ”

The white shopkeeper bowed to Yuan Mao, he was the shopkeeper of the official shop, he had seen the world, and he was not as afraid of the Jinyi captain as ordinary people, and then said to Fan Dajian: "Now in Wuque Hutong, the three words 'old acquaintance' have a different meaning, Fan Zhenren should not use them indiscriminately." ”

Lao Dao laughed, "I don't look at your looks." Don't talk nonsense, I came to visit today because I asked you for help. ”

"I have a batch of things here, which have been piled up for a few months, and the serious buyers are unwilling to come, and the unserious ones are driven away by me, if you can buy them, it will be a great favor for me."

"Who wants to feed the bugs? We're looking for Inhumans. ”

"Alone? Just one person, or just one person? ”

"It's not 'a person', it's a 'strange person', Inhuman, get it?"

"What are you looking for? The streets are full of 'strange people', each one is stranger than the other, you say which one you want, I'll drag you in. ”

Fan Dajian was a little annoyed, Yuan Mao smiled: "It's not a secret, Yiren is not only strong in martial arts, but also can spell, the rise of Wuque Hutong is directly related to Yiren, I was ordered to investigate this matter, if I can find out......"

The white shopkeeper immediately understood, "Can you get rid of all these demons and monsters?" Well, without further ado, I'm going to ask you about it. ”

"You don't even know what an Inhuman is." Fan Dajian was not at ease.

"That's because I'm not interested. After all, I have been in business here for more than ten years, and I know a few friends, you sit down, there is tea there, you boil water yourself, I will go back. ”

The white shopkeeper hurriedly walked away, leaving the entire shop to two outsiders.

"He's such a temper, but he's reliable and trustworthy." Fan Dajian said.

"Look, he's a nice guy, how did you know him?"

"Hey, when I was still in Lingji Palace, I helped his family do magic and drive away a terrible ghost, I didn't ask for money, he was very grateful to me, and he owed me a favor."

Yuan Mao smiled, and after a while, asked, "Do you really believe it...... Are there ghosts? ”

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, ask my people to believe it, and the money I earn to believe it, and that's enough. Like Hu Guiyang, if he doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, even if he can convince the people around him, what can he do? If you don't believe, you won't be afraid, and I'm not afraid. ”

The door opened, and in came a ragged old man named Hanako, with meat leaking in many places, a wooden stick under his arm, and a porcelain bowl full of gaps in his hand.

didn't wait for the old man to call Huazi to speak, Fan Dajian waved his hand impatiently, "Go, the shopkeeper is not here, and I won't sell goods today." ”

The old man said with a smile: "Don't buy goods, beg for a bowl of rice, if you can reward a few pennies better, if you can give a few taels of medicinal materials, it's terrible, great kindness, never forget it for a lifetime, the old man knelt down to the two kneeling heads, I wish you a long life, promotion and wealth, and a full house of children and grandchildren." ”

Beggars can say auspicious words, Fan Dajian laughed, "People are not old, you are not from the capital, right?" ”

"Everyone at the feet of the Son of Heaven is either rich or expensive, how can there be a bad old man like me? Those who came from the south used to fish for a living, but unfortunately their fate was not good: a net went down, the net broke, the fish ran away, just a few miles out of the boat, the wind came, the boat broke, it was so unlucky, there was really no way, so I had to pick up the bowl, put down my face, and come out to beg for food. I heard that people in the capital are kind-hearted, so I went all the way. ”

"The old man talks in one set." Fan Dajian found it interesting, "Do you know how to sing?" If you sing well, you will be rewarded with a few pennies. ”

Yuan Mao glanced at Fan Dajian, and said with a smile: "These people can sing the lotus fall, they really have good singing skills, and they are comparable to the play." ”

The old beggar said: "I have lived a hard life since I was a child, my voice has long been broken, and I can't sing well, but I have polluted the ears of the two masters." In this way, I have a few crooked poems, read them out and ask the two of you to listen: I have a spirit that I can't summon, and the rooster sings the world white. ”

"Phew, this is your poem? This is...... Yuan Mao, whose poem is this? ”

Yuan Mao didn't read much, shook his head, "Anyway, it's the poetry of the ancients." ”

"Yes, the poems of the ancients, how old are you?"

The old beggar smiled and said: "Don't worry, the beginning is the ancients', and the back is your own." ’”

"What a mess? If you don't give money, you won't give a penny, go to another house to cheat money. Fan Dajian waved his hand.

Hanako, the old man, sighed: "Poetry is a good poem, but it's a pity that it's hard to meet a soulmate." ”

Fan Dajian sneered, but Yuan Mao turned the counter, took two steps to the old man Huazi, and arched his hand: "We don't know Taishan with eyes, dare to ask what the old gentleman is called?" ”

Fan Dajian was taken aback, seeing that Yuan Mao was so serious, he didn't dare to ask.

The old name Hanako smiled: "I just said that it is difficult to meet a bosom friend, and here is one, I am an unknown person in the southeast, and I went north to survive and cut off the head of the chicken." ”

"Chicken head honorable, how did the old gentleman get it?"

The old man called Hanako to hold the wood in his left hand and the bowl in his right hand, "lure it with a bowl, cut it with wood, and the rooster will die, and the world will be peaceful." ”

Fan Dajian also heard a little taste, "'Kill the rooster's head with a knife, and the world will never be known from now on.'" "You are clearly an anti-poem, Yuan Mao, quickly take him down and send him to the government to ask for guilt." ”

The old man called Hanako laughed, "Since it's an anti-poem, you can read it in reverse, and you'll see you again." Then he turned around and left.

Yuan Mao stood in place and did not chase.

Fan Dajian walked around the counter, "What's going on?" You're a brocade guard, so you let the thief run away? ”

"He's not a thief, he's inviting us to meet the Inhuman."

"What do you hear?"

"Let's keep up first." Yuan Mao pushed the door out, Fan Dajian followed, and from a distance, the old man named Huazi was begging for pedestrians on the street, nothing unusual.

"I hope Hu Guiyang won't do it too early." Yuan Mao muttered, taking the lead in chasing after the old man Hanako.

"Don't you wait for the white shopkeeper?" Fan Dajian had to keep up.
