Hu Guiyang got hotter and hotter as he walked, and when he arrived outside the city, he untied his collar and felt a little cooler. The pedestrians on the street, still wrapped in cotton clothes, stared sideways at the strange man.

The prince is in the hands of the eunuchs outside the city, but where are the eunuchs?

Hu Guiyang stood on the street and thought for a while, then jumped on a nearby mule cart waiting for work, "Go to Guangxingpu." ”

"Okay, sit down." The coachman shook the whip and drove to Wuque Hutong.

Leaning on the car, Hu Guiyang took out two jade pendants from his arms, one was left by Mei Langzhong, everything was normal, the whole body was snow-white, and the original little blush had disappeared without a trace, and the other came from the palace, the emperor saw it and handed it back, it was still white jade last night, and it became a red pill at this time, more red than before, like charcoal just taken out of the fire.

It was it that emitted heat, which made Hu Guiyang have to undress and cool off.

"The things in the palace are just different." Hu Guiyang muttered that there must be a reason why the emperor quietly gave him the jade pendant through the princess, but he couldn't figure it out, "Why don't you make it clear?" Inhuman's mind is too strange. ”

Hu Guiyang recalled his short life as an alien and tried to figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Before he could figure out why, the car stopped, and the coachman turned to the back with a smile, "Guangxing shop has arrived, please reward the guest officer." ”

"How much?"

"With the guest official reward, I don't have too much silver for one or two, and ten dollars is not too little, it is the master to give more and less, you save effort, I support my family, you are happy, I am also happy, and I will take my car in the future."

"You are Li Xingtian's apprentice?"

The coachman was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The guest officer likes to joke." ”

Hu Guiyang reached into his arms and found that there was nothing on his body, only two jade pendants and a few miscellaneous items.

"The guest officer looked carefully, touched the corners and corners, and saw that you were the rich man in the city, with silver hidden in the seams of your clothes, and gold under your feet......

Hu Guiyang confirmed that he didn't bring any money, "You wait a while, I'll find someone to pay for the car." ”

"Small business, I can't wait, the guest officer ......" the coachman was dazzled, and the "guest officer" was gone.

Hu Guiyang didn't feel that he was moving fast, pushed the door and broke into Guangxingpu, and said loudly: "Niu shopkeeper!" ”

There was no one in the store, Hu Guiyang shouted a few times, and the shopkeeper Niu came in from behind, with a reluctant face, and bowed his hand slightly, "Why did Captain Hu come to the shop?" ”

"Lend me ten cents, it's better to have a few more."

The shopkeeper Niu was full of vigilance and made all kinds of preparations, but he didn't expect the other party to borrow money, and after a little recollection, he didn't seem to have any friendship with this Jinyi lieutenant, "Shiwen? ”

"There is a car outside, waiting for me to pay for the car, and today I went out in a hurry, and thousands of taels of silver were left at home."

The shopkeeper couldn't help but hey, but he still walked behind the counter, took out the money box, opened it with the key, and twisted out a stack of copper coins and put it on the table, "A total of ten Wen, Captain Hu counts well." ”

"I asked the driver to wait outside, should I give more?"

The cattle shopkeeper took out another ten wen.

"The Coachman's Mouth ...... Sweet"

The cattle shopkeeper was reluctant, "Who doesn't have a sweet mouth in business?" Where did Captain Hu get in the car? As much as it should be, he dares to ask for more, and I will reason with him. ”

Hu Guiyang stretched out his hand and grabbed two stacks of copper coins, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a shopkeeper, who understands the market, can bargain, and has the final word - hey, what's wrong with me?" I can't speak normally. ”

Hu Guiyang hurriedly walked out of the shop, put the twenty yuan into the driver's hand, turned around and left, for fear of listening to one more sentence.

"The guest officer is so good-tempered...... "The coachman counted the copper coins and drove away happily.

In the shop, the shopkeeper Niu put away the money box, and when he saw Hu Guiyang coming in again, he couldn't help frowning, "Captain Hu still has something?" ”

"You have to write an IOU to borrow money."

"It's just twenty yuan, so it's a gift for Captain Hu."

"No one will say I'm blackmailing, right? Jinyiwei's reputation is average, don't ruin it in my hands. ”

"Twenty Wen!" Shopkeeper Niu held back his anger and squeezed out a smile, "It would be nice if everyone in the court was as honest as Captain Hu, okay, I'll write a note." ”

There was everything on the counter, and the shopkeeper took out a pen and paper, ready to write an IOU.

"Uh, since you're going to write an IOU, ......"

"You made me write it!" The cow shopkeeper showed an angry face again.

Hu Guiyang was unmoved, and said with a smile: "I mean, since you have an IOU, give me a few more taels of silver, the feeling of being penniless is not very pleasant, and I don't know how long I have to stay outside the city, so I can't come to Guangxingpu every time to borrow money." ”

The shopkeeper Niu was silent for a while, and a smile appeared on his face again, "How much does Captain Hu want?" ”

"In this way, give me four copper coins, and write five dollars on the IOU, and the excess will be regarded as interest."

The shopkeeper was silent for a while, although he had countless money in his hands, he had never changed his thrifty nature, he had the eunuchs in the palace as his backers, and Guangxingpu had never been blackmailed, so he was extremely unaccustomed to giving money to outsiders.

"Otherwise, if you write six times, the interest will be more. I'm familiar with you on the whole street, don't worry, even if I don't pay it back, Xichang will ...... for me" Hu Guiyang had to borrow some money.

The shopkeeper raised his pen, brushed down a note, and turned it around, "Sign or draw?" ”

"I can write." Hu Guiyang took the pen and glanced at it, "Heh, ten taels of silver?" I don't need that much. ”

"It's like making friends." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, taking out a silver ingot of five taels, a few pieces of broken silver and a handful of copper coins from the money box, "The total amount is less than ten taels, I want a little interest, please take it away from Captain Hu." ”

"Don't you need to weigh it?"

"I've been a shopkeeper for so long, and I know it in my heart." The cow shopkeeper pushed the money out of the counter.

Hu Guiyang neatly wrote down his name and said with a smile: "You take it, I have to ask for it when I pay it back." ”

"No problem." The shopkeeper put the IOU in the box and arched his hand: "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

Hu Guiyang was indeed very slow, and stored the silver and copper coins on the counter separately, "The shopkeeper Niu is really a friend worth making, in fact, we are also a little related, and I chatted with Liang Neishou last night." ”

"Liang Neisquire?" The cow shopkeeper was taken aback.

"Yes, he asked me for help, but unfortunately my skills are low, and I have more than enough strength to lose, and I lost a great opportunity to please Liang Neishi."

"Where did you see ...... Forget it, please Captain Hu go slowly, you don't have to rush to pay back the money, it's okay for a day or two, a year or two. ”

"The sooner the better. Since the money has been borrowed, the cattle shopkeeper will do me another favor. ”

"And what?" The shopkeeper Niu was furious, he was not afraid of a captain in brocade, but he had a ghost in his heart, hoping to send people away as soon as possible.

"It's good money this time, borrow someone."

"Borrow someone? You've got the money, go out and hire whatever you want. ”

"None of the others are good, it has to be an old buddy of the cattle shopkeeper."

If Hu Guiyang opened his mouth to ask for someone as soon as he came, the shopkeeper Niu would immediately refuse, but he fell into it from the beginning of borrowing money, and he only wanted to send the guests away, so he held back his anger, "Who to borrow?" ”

"Yang Shaopu."

"The old drunkard?"

"Yes, that's him."

The shopkeeper Niu breathed a sigh of relief, "He's not here with me, you go to the nearby Hengxingpu to ask, the old drunkard should go to his goddaughter Yang Caixian." ”

"Yang Caixian has changed owners?"

"Well, I changed it after I came back from Captain Hu's house, you go over there and ask, I don't know much." The cattle shopkeeper gave up his hand again, showing an obvious intention to chase customers.

"Thank you, and if you can find me anywhere in the future, just ask."

The backer of the cattle shopkeeper went directly to the palace eunuch, and he looked down on a captain in brocade, "It's good to say, Captain Hu walks slowly." ”

Hu Guiyang finally left, the cattle shopkeeper followed to the door, and watched Hu Guiyang walk away, only then did he let out a long breath, and hurriedly bolted the door, and he didn't plan to do business today.

Shen Qianyuan came in through the back door, "Why is Hu Guiyang here?" ”

"I don't know." The shopkeeper spread his hands, "It's completely inexplicable, I borrowed some money, and I want to go to Yang Shaopu again, do you think he is testing me?" ”

"Does Yang Shaopu know anything?"

"It's just an old drunkard, I have already been kicked out of the shop, and I won't tell him if there is anything."

Shen Qianyuan thought for a while, "I will send someone into the city to inquire about the situation later, and find out why Hu Guiyang left Zhao's house, and you will transfer the 'goods' after dark." ”

"First two of Hu Guiyang's subordinates, and then he himself, you say ...... of them"

"Hu Guiyang, I'll deal with it, and you can take those two of his subordinates away."

"Okay." The cow shopkeeper walked to the backyard and muttered, "Don't get into trouble......

Hengxing shop is not far from Guangxing shop, the door is very small, the business does not look very good, the front store is full of goods, but it is full of dust, and it looks like it is an old goods that have not been sold for a long time.

There was no one in the store, and Hu Guiyang shouted: "Shopkeeper! ”

A sick young man came in through the back door and saw the guest's unhappy face, "Come so early? ”

"Is it too early for a businessman?"

The young man yawned, "Usually the guests come until almost evening. It's okay to come early, even if you catch up, how much silver? ”

"Miscellaneous is ten taels."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "A poor ghost, dare to come here to play? Go out and go to the city, the girls over there are cheap, a few pennies a night. ”

The young man came over and pushed, but he didn't push a few times.

Hu Guiyang took a step closer and said with a smile: "You are mistaken, I am not looking for a girl, but an old drunkard." ”

The young man was stunned again, and took two steps back, "Where is the old drunkard?" ”

"The surname is Yang, and his name is Yang Shaopu."

"There is no one with the surname Yang here." The young man came and shoved again, and he was indomitable.

Hu Guiyang took a step closer again and grabbed the other party's wrist with his hand, "What do you call it?" ”

"Shut you down...... Alas, let go! The young man cried out in pain, his body was short, and he almost fell to his knees.

Hu Guiyang let go, and he also wondered, he hadn't used much force.

"You're looking for Yang Shaopu, right? I'll call you. The young man turned and ran back, inhaling the cool air in his mouth.

It didn't take long for Yang Caixian to come in from behind, and when he saw Hu Guiyang, he was also stunned, and blurted out: "Why did you chase here?" ”

"Hehe, this chasing word is used wonderfully, but I'm not here to 'chase people', I'm looking for someone, looking for your father-in-law Yang Shaopu."

"He was drunk and sleeping...... What are you looking for him? ”

"A little thing. How did you change owners? ”

"I don't want to do this anymore, I'm going to stay here for a while."

"That brother asked me how much money I had just now."

"It's not me who picks up the guest, it's his sister Weng Yuyu."

At the beginning, Lou Yuma died in Weng Yuyu's bed, and Hu Guiyang saw her, "Oh, that's his brother buzzing worm?" ”

"Yes. Do you have to see my Father now? ”

"Hmm."

"You can also ask me first, maybe I know the answer."

"Yang Shaopu once sent a message for the eunuchs of Qinghe, and he must be very familiar with those people, so I came to inquire about the news of the eunuchs."

Yang Caixian smiled lightly, "You are Jinyiwei, don't you even know this kind of thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"The eunuchs of Qinghe have come to the capital, recruiting so-called divine servants everywhere, there is a stronghold not far from here, the father-in-law joined the club the day before yesterday, and only came back after getting drunk."

"Servant of God? Did the eunuch change careers? Do they have a hostage in their hands? ”

"I haven't heard of it." Yang Caixian thought for a while, "Wait a minute, I'll wake up my father-in-law." It's strange that you made it out alive, I thought ......"

"It's a big life." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, knowing in his heart that he was not fateful, but was deliberately "released" out of Zhao's house.
