The shouting outside continued, and Hu Guiyang took advantage of the chaos to run to a deserted room, sat on a chair, and exhaled, intending to rest for a while.
There was a knock at the door, and someone came in.
Hu Guiyang raised his eyes and looked, he didn't squeak, it was a strange teenager, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a small hat in green clothes and a smile, somewhat out of place in the Zhao Mansion at this time, but not annoying.
"Women are always so troublesome." The boy looked around, "What kind of place is this, with so many swords?" ”
On both sides of the room were lined up weapon racks, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and in the corners were scattered several crossbows and unsheathed knives.
"Martial Arts Hall." Hu Guiyang didn't get up, nor did he ask the other party's origin.
"I see, there are a lot of weapons."
"Yes, when Jinyiwei's colleagues came to visit, they didn't dare to enter this room."
"What's the matter, the brocade guards are afraid of weapons?"
"They're afraid they'll have to arrest the owner of the house."
The young man laughed and slowly walked in front of Hu Guiyang, "You are Zhao Baihu's righteous son, why don't you go out to help?" ”
"Sitting here and not making a mess is the greatest help."
The shouting outside was high and low, but Hu Guiyang didn't hear it.
"That's right, although Zhao Baihu has many righteous sons, there is always a difference between respect and inferiority, the boss Hu Guishen is not there, and the old five Hu Guimeng is usually in charge, not to mention a few old buddies of Zhao Baihu, and they can't control a little girl? In this way, those people outside are really adding to the chaos. ”
Hu Guiyang didn't answer, for him, rest is rest, and he felt tired even talking.
The young man circled again, "The chair you are sitting on is Zhao Baihu's, right?" ”
"This is Zhao's house, everything belongs to the father-in-law."
"Hehe, I mean this chair used to be Zhao Baihu's seat, right?"
"Hmm."
"He's not too you?"
Hu Guiyang glanced at the young man, "Catching it is a beating, if you can't catch it, it's fine, and now he can't catch it anymore." ”
The young man shook his head with a smile, walked away a few steps, picked up a knife from the ground, swung it twice, and threw it back to the ground, "Zhao Baihu's spirit in the sky may be watching you." ”
"So what?"
"You're not afraid of annoying the Shade?"
Hu Guiyang moved his buttocks and sat up straighter, "If there is really a ghost in the world, everyone should look forward to the return of the soul of their relatives to comfort the pain of lovesickness. ”
"He is worthy of being Zhao Baihu's righteous son. Maybe it's because the ghost is harmful, so everyone doesn't dare to summon it back. ”
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned the soul of Mrs. Li, and Tang Xuanzong summoned the soul of Yang Taizhen, but I didn't see the soul of a beauty harming people."
"The Emperor's House is of course different from the common people."
"So ghosts are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, daring to harm the people, not daring to touch the emperor, what about the officials? For example, a general, such as a scholar, is it harmful to ghosts? What exactly is safe? Is there any support after the dismissal? What about Emperor Yingzong when he was trapped in the north? ”
Hu Guiyang said, the young man shook his head once, and finally said: "It seems that you have the true biography of Zhao Baihu and do not believe in ghosts and gods." ”
"It's okay to believe, it's okay not to believe, now it seems that there is no harm in not believing, and you can save a sum of incense money, so it's better not to believe, if the ghost and god really appear in front of me one day, it's not too late to believe it, the ghost is not easy to say, and God will not be so careful, right?"
The young man still kept shaking his head, still with a smile on his face, "Isn't Zhao Baihu's experience a wake-up call?" Childless, childless, wounded and sick, and finally died violently, and less than a day after his death, his family was in chaos. ”
"No children? The father-in-law had forty godsons who were willing to die for him. An injury? The imperial doctor prescribed him medicine, and the beautiful woman gave him massage, and not many patients in the world had such enjoyment. Died violently? The father-in-law has long looked down on life and death, and he is more thorough than the monk's path that he has practiced for half a lifetime, so he doesn't care whether he dies today or tomorrow. Mess? Yahuan wants to avenge him, and his godson is fighting to continue to maintain this family, how many people want to mess up like this but can't. ”
The young man shook his head and nodded, "No wonder Zhao Baihu values you so much, and only mentioned your name before he died." ”
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Then you are mistaken, my father-in-law values some people, likes some people, and believes in some people, but I am not among them." I am the big lazy worm of the Zhao family, and if my father-in-law really mentions my name, it will also be a misunderstanding. ”
The shouting outside was gone, as if all the people were gone.
"Do you remember the old days?" The teenager suddenly asked a strange question.
"How long ago?"
"More than ten years ago, you also followed Zhao Baihu to Beijing in Broken Tengxia, looking at your age, you should have remembered it at that time, do you remember the experience earlier than that? For example, how did you get to Broken Teng Gorge? ”
Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "It is said that someone fed us medicine at that time, so everyone forgot about the previous events in Broken Tengxia. ”
"If it's not a ghost, who has this medicine?"
"If it's medicine, what's the ghost?"
The young man laughed a few times, turned around and walked towards the door, and stood up after a few steps, "My name is Wang Zhi, when did you recognize me?" ”
"As soon as you push the door in, I know that the factory has arrived."
"Oh, where did I leak?"
"There are no flaws, so I recognized that the age and dress of the factory father are the same as in the street conversation, and he is a stranger, but he is very interested in his father-in-law, and it can only be you."
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Street talk? My name is already on the streets? That's not a good thing. He pushed open the door and couldn't help but say again, "There are indeed ghosts and gods in the world, otherwise, why are you also from Broken Teng Gorge, you have become the minions of Jinyi Guard, but I have entered the palace, and now I am in charge of the West Factory, ranking above you?" Zhao Ying arrived a day early, and things would not be like this. Providence, there must be providence in the dark, I will convince you. ”
"The factory is blessed and noble, it is worth celebrating, but I am not a brocade guard, at most I am a minion of my father-in-law, my father-in-law is gone, I am just a common man, and the status of the factory is higher than mine, of course, if you say that you are on top...... I don't even have an official position, so where do I come from? ”
"Able to speak well, bold and bold, people like you are also dangerous to be a common man." Wang pushed the door straight and went out.
Hu Guiyang was still sitting in the chair, and after a while, he even laughed out loud, as if he thought the whole thing was funny, and he didn't offend anyone at all.
Several nobles came in and were stunned when they saw Hu Guiyang, and the fifth elder Hu Guimeng frowned and said, "It's a mess outside, why are you hiding here?" ”
"Didn't the fifth brother handle it very well? A pot of porridge has turned into a basin of water. ”
"Go play elsewhere, we'll clean up the house."
"The suicide note is not here." Hu Guiyang said.
"Have you looked for it? Or do you know where the suicide note is? Hu Guimeng did not deny it.
"I guess."
"Go, go." Hu Gui reprimanded.
Hu Guiyang got up, walked out with a smile, Hu Gui urged urging: "Don't be hippie and smiling, it's not good for outsiders to see it." ”
Hu Guiyang immediately put away his smile, "I must not let outsiders see it." ”
Hu Gui shook his head violently, waited for Hu Guiyang to go out, and said to several brothers: "The third and sixth brothers will be destroyed on this mouth sooner or later." ”
Hu Guiyang stood under the porch, his face was no longer smiling, his eyes were wandering, and he saw Wang Zhi coming out of the opposite wing, obviously just finished a conversation.
Zhao Ying passed away, there were many people who heard the news, there was some chaos inside and outside the courtyard, Wang Zhi's dress was like a little guy brought by someone, and it didn't attract attention.
There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, and Hu Guiyang said loudly to the room behind him: "Fifth brother, the eldest brother is back." ”
Hu Guimeng and the others immediately left the house, "Where are you?" So fast? ”
"I guess." Hu Guiyang said again.
Hu Guimeng's face sank, and before he could open his mouth to blame, a few people ran in from outside the courtyard, and the first one was the eldest brother Hu Guishen.
Hu Guishen is tall and the first righteous son to enter Jinyiwei, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he asked with a crying voice: "Where is the father-in-law?" ”
Hu Gui took a few steps forward to greet the eldest brother, "I have already entered the coffin, stopped in the front hall, and waited for the eldest brother to come back to take charge." ”
The two brothers ran to the front hall hand in hand, and Hu Guiyang turned his head and whispered to several brothers: "Bet on who loses and who wins?" ”
Although Hu Guishen and Hu Guimeng were fighting for power, after all, they did not make it public, and the righteous sons all looked at Hu Guiyang angrily.
"Lord Yuan's delay in arriving is only afraid that it will not bode well for the fifth brother." Hu Guiyang is still guessing.
Hu Guimeng entered Jinyiwei later than his eldest brother, but he has always been by his father's side and has a lot of contacts with the generals of Wei, especially appreciated by Yuan Bin, so Hu Guimeng dared to promise to let all the brothers enter the guard.
Hu Guiyang unconsciously smiled again.
A smile is often used to express kindness and joy, but Hu Guiyang's smile always causes trouble for himself, and the corners of his mouth are not raised at the wrong time and on the wrong occasion, which makes him look cynical.
The brothers shook their hands and walked away.
Hu Guiyang wanted to return to the martial arts hall, and saw Wang Zhi walking into the front hall, and hurriedly walked towards the door, sure enough, as soon as he bypassed the shadow wall, he heard the fifth brother Hu Guimeng call the brothers loudly.
Hu Guiyang dodged over, and most of the people standing outside the gate were neighbors, he lowered his head, saw no one, and walked along the root of the wall to the outside of the alley.
He also knew what was wrong with him, laughing when he shouldn't be laughing, and couldn't help but open his mouth when he shouldn't be talking, so he simply stayed away.
An old man stood on the street and shouted, "This is retribution, this is retribution." Zhao Baihu is a good person, but he doesn't believe in God and does a lot of blasphemous things, so he will be retributed this time. ”
Many people say yes.
If you change to a righteous son, you are likely to stand up and defend on the spot, or even fight, Hu Guiyang didn't, just pouted and continued to move forward, planning to sit in the teahouse at the entrance of the alley, where no one forced him to stand in line, and no one argued about whether there were really ghosts and gods.
The third ninth brother Hu Guida was sent to Jinyiwei, and at this time he ran back, sweaty, and saw Hu Guiyang hurriedly stop, "Hey, third and sixth brother, why do you want to leave?" ”
Hu Guiyang pointed to the teahouse a few steps away, "I'm going to have a cup of tea." Lord Yuan didn't come? ”
"Lord Yuan is sick, I didn't go to Jinyiwei today, I asked someone else to convey it, I want to come back soon and see my father-in-law again."
"The man is dead, what else is there to see?"
"Brother Sanliu, how are you ...... So ruthless? That's the Father-in-law, who is as kind to us as a mountain. ”
"That's what I said, go back and maybe have a look. By the way, after entering the front hall, you see a guy in a green coat and a small hat, regardless of your age, cry at him, let him call the shots, it will be good for you. ”
"Huh?"
Hu Guiyang pushed Brother Sanjiu to take a few steps, and turned around and entered the teahouse.
There was a brocade guard in the teahouse.
The shopkeeper pointed to Hu Guiyang who had just come in, "Ask him, he is a son of Zhao Baihu." ”
Hu Guiyang smiled bitterly secretly, there are some things that can't be avoided.
Jin Yiwei came over and asked, "Zhao Baihu was killed by the demon fox, why didn't you report to the official?" ”
"I don't recognize you." Hu Guiyang knew a lot of Jinyi guards, but there was no one among them.
"I'm the captain of the East Factory."
Hu Guiyang showed an untimely smile on his face again, the West Factory and the East Factory had arrived, but the serious boss Yuan Bin said that he was sick and couldn't come, he thought it was really an interesting thing.
