Chapter 252: New Year's Greetings
Hu Guiyang walked inside, as if he was going back to his home, but this was not his home.
The people on the street came and went, mostly going to the nearby Lingji Palace to offer incense, and the guards and servants guarding the door did not pay special attention to any of the people, so it was not until Hu Guiyang was about to cross the threshold that they reacted, rushed up, and scolded angrily.
"I'm the captain of the West Factory." Hu Guiyang smiled, gently brushed aside a few palms that were grabbing him, and turned a blind eye to the knives and guns that were close at hand.
There were four guards with guns and four sabers at the gate of the West Factory, and when they looked at the visitors, they saw either a captain or an ordinary person, their shoes covered with mud, and they seemed to have come all the way from a distance.
"My name is Hu Guiyang, and I am the captain of the brocade clothes that the factory often mentions." He added.
When the eight people heard this, they were all stunned, and then laughed, and there was a bad temper in the middle, and they raised their legs and kicked, "It turned out to be a crazy ...... Oops! ”
Hu Guiyang grabbed the kicking foot, gently tugged it, and the messenger was horizontal in mid-air, Hu Guiyang stretched out his arms and clamped him, as easy as buying a chicken from the market and clipping it casually.
The officer screamed in terror, the others were startled, and their swords and guns were pointed at the "madman".
Hu Guiyang moved very fast, shuttled among several people, kicked and thrown, threw them into the air, and kept reminding: "Hurry up." ”
Hu Guiyang changed the errand between his arms to a two-handed hug, and then used him to the bottom to pick up the others who fell from the air, which is why they needed to "hold on".
Eight people were stacked on top of each other, and the people below were crushed and screamed, and the people above were so frightened that they screamed and screamed, and their hands and legs were tightly wrapped around their companions, not daring to move a little.
The gate of the West Factory was closed, only the side door was opened, Hu Guiyang held a few people, and crossed the threshold in a half-squatting posture, "The people above are careful, don't touch their heads." ”
Hu Guiyang has attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street when he broke through, and his actions at this time were even more unexpected, regardless of walking, cycling, or sitting in a sedan chair, the people who slowly crowded towards Lingji Palace were all crowded to Xichang at this time.
From the start to the door, Hu Guiyang only took a short time, and few people saw it with their own eyes, and the people behind could only listen to others' relays, and the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became, and even the second Xu Zhenjun enshrined in the Lingji Palace seemed to come to inquire about the news.
Hu Guiyang entered the door and walked out a short distance and gently put down the eight people, the guards and messengers had never experienced such a thing, they were all so frightened that they all lay on the ground and did not dare to move, and one of them even still tightly wrapped around his companions below, closing his eyes and shouting.
Hu Guiyang ignored them, and shouted loudly as he walked inside: "Factory father, the right-hand man is here to visit!" ”
Dozens of people poked out and leaned out from each room to see the faces of the comers, some quietly retreated into the room, pretending not to hear anything, and others did not recognize Hu Guiyang, but they also followed suit one after another and closed the door tightly.
The street outside the gate of the West Factory was crowded with people, but few people showed up inside.
Hu Guiyang entered the front yard and went straight to the main hall, and someone finally greeted him on the other side.
"You, you, you ......" Huo Shuangde pointed at Hu Guiyang, his face full of horror.
Hu Guiyang stepped forward and shook the eunuch's hand, as if they were extremely familiar fellow Taoists, "Manager Huo's demeanor is still the same, our West Factory has changed a lot, I haven't been here for a few days, and everyone doesn't know me." ”
Huo Shuangde wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't pull it out, he was confused and annoyed, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, "You kid...... Where did you go? ”
"Run here, walk there, no way, even if you enter the West Factory, you can't be idle, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, isn't Manager Huo also on duty in the public hall? What about the factory? What about celebrating the New Year in the palace? ”
Huo Shuangde finally pulled out his palm, his face flushed with anger, "You dare to come back!" ”
"Everyone else is celebrating the New Year, but I came to work in our West Factory, which is not a credit, but also hard work. Oh, I wish the chief manager Huo a New Year's greetings, and I wish the chief manager a high rise this year, and the position of the eunuch is just around the corner. ”
In the palace, the eunuch Si Li has the highest status, located above the two factories, and can be called the attention of ten thousand eunuchs, but no one dares to say such an ambition, let alone a blessing.
Huo Shuangde's face turned even redder, and he was about to call someone to come and take in the ignorant fugitive lieutenant, when another lieutenant hurried from the gate and whispered a few words to him.
Huo Shuangde's face changed slightly, he looked at Hu Guiyang again, and his tone immediately softened, "Have you practiced divine skills?" ”
Hu Guiyang smiled: "How can I say this, my luck is too good, I don't need to practice, I can't get rid of my magic skills." ”
Huo Shuangde was shocked, laughed dryly, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Captain Hu, let's ...... Go to the side hall and sit down. ”
"What about the factory workers? Are you still coming today? ”
"Well, I'll send someone to the palace to deliver the letter, and the factory should come here."
"It couldn't be better. Mr. Huo, I have walked a lot today, and I have only eaten a little Chinese New Year's Eve food in the morning, and this is all ......in the afternoon."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you." Huo Shuangde sent Hu Guiyang into the side hall, then went out for a trip, and came back soon, with a smile on his face, and a plate in his hand, "Nothing good, it's just the New Year, there are some nuts and candied fruits, you put one on the mat first." ”
"Thank you." Hu Guiyang grabbed it and ate it, and said with a smile: "It's better to drink some water." ”
"Yes, yes." Huo Shuangde was unusual, with a kind attitude and responsiveness, so he immediately went out again and personally brought a pot of hot tea.
After eating and drinking, Hu Guiyang patted his belly and took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, "It's in a hurry, the preparation is not thorough, and there is not much silver, please accept it from Mr. Huo, and use it as the New Year's money." ”
Huo Shuangde waved his hand again and again to refuse at first, but when he heard the last few words, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "How old am I, how old are you kid, and you actually gave me New Year's money?" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know the rules, but this piece of silver, please be sure to accept it by Manager Huo, it's a little bit of my heart."
This "heart" is indeed only a little, Huo Shuangde frowned slightly, "I don't need you to do this...... Okay, I took it, and I got it. ”
Huo Shuangde picked up the broken silver and looked at it, wondering if the money was enough to buy those fine dried fruits and candied fruits.
"Captain Hu is now a real Yunyang stranger?" Huo Shuangde held the teacup in his hand and asked carefully.
"It's true that a little bit has changed, as for whether it's an alien or not—I especially want to compete with Tong Feng again now."
"There's a chance, there's definitely a chance." Huo Shuangde smiled, blowing the hot air in the cup, but he never drank it.
The two chatted, and a lieutenant appeared at the door of the side hall, and the figure flickered and left.
Huo Shuangde understood, stood up suddenly, picked up the already warm teacup, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Hu ......"
"Mr. Huo be careful."
The teacup did not fall to the ground and fell into pieces, but Hu Guiyang reached out and grabbed it, and sent it back to Huo Shuangde, the tea in the cup swayed slightly, and only a few drops were spilled.
Huo Shuangde was dumbfounded, and the words that had been brewed for a long time were held back, with an extremely embarrassed look on his face.
Hu Guiyang put the teacup back on the tray and said with a smile: "This cup of tea is already cold." ”
Huo Shuangde coughed twice, and forced out a smile, "Yes, the tea is cold, I'm ...... I'm going to change a pot of hot tea. ”
Hu Guiyang held one of Huo Shuangde's arms, "You are the manager of the West Factory, how can you work to serve tea and water?" One time is enough, and I can't afford to go on like this. Mr. Huo, please sit down, and I'll change the water. As the captain of the West Factory, this little thing is what I should do. ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Huo Shuangde couldn't compete with Hu Guiyang and was forced to sit back in his place.
Hu Guiyang picked up the teapot, lifted the lid to take a look, shook his head and said, "Not only do you have to change the water, but you also have to change the tea, how can Manager Huo drink this kind of coarse tea?" ”
"It's okay, I usually drink this tea."
Huo Shuangde also wanted to get up, Hu Guiyang raised the teapot with both hands and threw it on the ground, "The tea maker is guilty." ”
The teapot shattered, the water flowed to the ground, Huo Shuangde was so frightened that he sat on the chair, his face was full of surprise, he didn't know what he meant, it was his plan to smash the cup, but it turned out to be Hu Guiyang wrestling the pot.
The people outside couldn't tell the difference, and when they heard the noise, they immediately rushed in, shouting in their mouths, waving knives and guns in their hands.
"It's still our West Factory for the New Year." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Huo Shuangde got up suddenly, his face suddenly sank, "Hu Guiyang, don't hurry up and arrest him!" ”
"Hey, Mr. Huo's face changed so quickly, were you going to drop the cup just now?"
"That's right." Huo Shuangde didn't need to hide it anymore.
"Why bother, just call someone? And you're right by my side, aren't you afraid of being held hostage? ”
The two were only a few steps apart, and as soon as Hu Guiyang's voice fell, there was an extra person in the middle, staring at him coldly, protecting Huo Shuangde behind him.
Hu Guiyang took a step back and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a master Tong, no wonder Mr. Huo has no fear." Hey, you guys are yelling, are you disgusted that Tong Master can't speak? ”
More than a dozen people at the door immediately shut up.
Hu Guiyang took a step back, "Manager Huo is really caring, I just said that I hope to have another competition, and he will call you." What about the factory? Don't you come to watch the game? ”
Huo Shuangde hid behind Tong Feng, "Hu Guiyang, you defected to the West Factory, you committed a heinous crime, and you will be arrested immediately!" ”
Hu Guiyang put his arms close to his body, "I'm tied, please ask Manager Huo to arrest me." ”
Huo Shuangde didn't dare, "Tong Feng, your chance for revenge has come." Above! ”
Tong Feng punched out, and took it back halfway, because Hu Guiyang was really "tied" and did not move, and he did not want to take advantage of this.
Huo Shuangde saw it from behind and said angrily: "He is a fugitive, what rules do you tell him?" Beat him hard, beat him until he was half dead, and then take him to prison, and see how good he is as a stranger. ”
Tong Feng didn't hesitate anymore and went all out.
Hu Guiyang kept his promise and did not make a move, but flew up.
Tong Feng had heard what was happening at the gate and knew that Hu Guiyang had changed dramatically, so when he was a normal opponent, he turned slightly sideways to avoid this kick and threw another punch at the same time.
He forgot that there was someone behind him.
Hu Guiyang's target is not him.
Huo Shuangde screamed, flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
Tong Feng was startled, and hurriedly turned around to help, and Hu Guiyang also followed, "Why is Manager Huo standing so close?" ”
Huo Shuangde sat up slowly, pointed at Hu Guiyang and said in a trembling voice: "You are ...... on purpose"
Another person came in from outside the hall, and when he saw Hu Guiyang, he immediately showed joy, "Captain Hu is finally back." ”
"Wei Baihu, I'm sorry, I left in a hurry that day, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Baihu Wei Ying smiled: "It's okay, it's you who investigates the case, you don't need to tell me everything." ”
The more Huo Shuangde listened, the more surprised he became, "Wei Ying, you ......"
Wei Ying arched his hand and said lightly: "The factory meeting is coming, and I want to talk to Captain Hu face to face." ”
Huo Shuangde was shocked again, and found that he might have figured out the wrong boss's intentions.
