Chapter 124: A Friend of a Dignitary
One of Gao Hanying's nicknames is "hen", she not only has to protect her nearly 100 minions, but also has to guard and support her own Gaojia Village.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the slaughter of the village came, Gao Hanying's anger can be imagined, and he immediately decided to go to Tiejiazhuang to take revenge.
Shen Qianyuan's claim that Gao Hanying values not Hu Guiyang, but Mojiazhuang, seems to have some truth, but without her own admission, no one knows her true thoughts.
Gao Hanying and her men were ambushed on the way.
The ambushers were a group of officers and soldiers, several times more numerous, and the arrows rained down, causing heavy casualties to the Gao bandits.
Gao Hanying only led a few subordinates to escape from the encirclement, and she was even more angry, so much so that she lost her mind and insisted on going to Tiejiazhuang to take revenge.
This is a doomed revenge plan, and Gao Hanying herself understands this truth, so she said to more than 20 subordinates: "Those who follow me will die, and those who want to live will choose another way." General Ben is not angry or angry today, he wants to let the world know that there is a person like me Gao Hanying on the rivers and lakes! ”
Nearly half of them didn't say anything, they rode their horses and ran, and the remaining half followed General Gao and killed all the way to Tiejiazhuang.
They took the same path as when they kidnapped Hu Guiyang last time, wading into the river and entering the village, first setting fires, and then wantonly slaughtering, indiscriminately, regardless of men, women, old and young.
The sledgehammer brought people back, and the two groups met and fought a big battle in the village.
The ending is that the old monster Yang Jiuwen killed the female bandit Gao Shengun, the detailed process is different, because Gao Hanying's gang was wiped out, he can only let the other party publicize it, no matter how powerful Gao Hanying's chain gun is, it is to Yang Jiuwen's long crutch, short Yue and iron fan as a foil.
When Hu Guiyang came to Tongzhou, the rumors had become that Gao Hanying and his gang were beyond their own strength and wanted to rob Tiejiazhuang, but they were wiped out, and they were to blame.
Hu Guiyang left Mojiazhuang yesterday, claiming that he was going back to the capital, and assured Shen Qianyuan when he said goodbye that he would never publicly denounce the big hammer and others, and that all matters on the rivers and lakes would be resolved by the rivers and lakes.
Shen Qianyuan also felt that a brocade guard was not suitable to stay in Mojiazhuang, and agreed that Hu Guiyang would return to the city to avoid the limelight.
Hu Guiyang left with the old Taoist Fan Dajian, entered the city early in the morning, only stayed for less than an hour, called Yuan Mao, and went out of the city from Chaoyang Gate and went straight to Tongzhou City.
Yuan Mao returned to the city for several days and was very happy to see Hu Guiyang return safely, but he couldn't provide much good news.
"The West Factory wouldn't help, I didn't see the factory officer, and his men said to me, 'Hu Guiyang promised to close the case within a year, and we'll see it then.'" "Yuan Mao ran around for several days and found nothing, as for the Jinyi Wei Nansi, without the leadership of Yuan Bin and Hu Guiyang, he couldn't even enter the gate.
"Lai Wangxi and they haven't made progress yet, and it's not easy to improve the bird's gun, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to take effect."
"Also, Shi Guida of the West Factory, Liang Xiu of the South Division, and Zuo Pre of the East Factory have all left the capital and started to track down the whereabouts of He Million and the Wen family." Yuan Mao shook his head, these teams were all strong and strong, and they were much stronger than the three of them.
"I remember that there is another team in the West Factory, which is personally commanded by Wang Zhi."
"I inquired, that brother of yours, Shi Guida, is quite skillful, and he actually won the trust of the factory boss and merged the two teams into one."
Shi Guida took the power that the Zhao family had built up over the years into his own hands at the beginning, and this alone was enough to be appreciated by Wang Zhi.
Hu Guiyang smiled, didn't say anything, and seeing that Tongzhou City was about to arrive, he asked, "Inquire clearly, Guan Dazi's home is here?" ”
Fan Dajian nodded, "Can't be wrong, Guan Dazi is a little famous, it's easy to inquire, his military registration is in Tongzhouwei, and his home is also here." ”
Yuan Mao had just heard about the things outside the city, and he couldn't help but be a little confused, "Guan Dazi is dead, everyone is about to forget him, what else do you want to investigate?" ”
"Jianghu forgot him, his family won't, I have to take a look."
Yuan Mao didn't care, Fan Dajian killed Guan Dazi at the beginning, and he was a little apprehensive, "I only went to Tongzhou City with you, but I didn't go to Guan's house." ”
The Guan family is in an alley next to the city wall, and most of the neighbors are military households, Fan Dajian said that he would not go if he didn't go, and led three horses to wait at the mouth of the alley.
Yuan Mao felt that it was not appropriate for Hu Guiyang to show up, so he persuaded him to stay, "If you want to know anything, I'll inquire." ”
"I want to know...... Who is his best friend and wants to know about his family. ”
Yuan Mao went for more than half an hour, and when he came back, he said: "Guan Dazi's family is here, but he rarely goes home, he lives outside the city all the year round, and his family is so poor that it clangs. When he died, the family was very happy, because it would allow their son to take up the post. ”
Hu Guiyang was dumbfounded, and Fan Dajian said with a smile: "My hand is not only to eliminate harm for the people, but also to eliminate harm for the Guan family." ”
"He must have a lot of friends, right?" Hu Guiyang asked.
Yuan Mao shook his head, "They are all fox friends and dog friends, they usually don't even go to the door, and they don't come to mourn after they die, there is only one Zhou Baihu, who is a friend of the Guan family, and he takes care of Guan Dazi, and it is estimated that he has also received a lot of benefits." ”
"Then go and meet this Zhou Baihu."
Hu Guiyang and Fan Dajian found an inn to live in, settled the horses, and then asked for a table of banquets among the customers, waiting for Yuan Mao to come back, and it was here that they heard a lot of rumors about Gao Hanying.
Yuan Mao is good at finding people, and he is even better at inviting people, and in the evening, he brought Zhou Baihu.
Zhou Jing is in his forties, and he can't see the slightest bit of military spirit from head to toe, in fact, he is an unnaturalized businessman who owns a shop on the dock, has a good business, and has a good income.
As soon as he entered the room, he arched his hand and said, "I have heard the name of Captain Hu for a long time, and it is an honor to see it today." ”
Hu Guiyang said a few polite words, the four of them sat down, Hu Guiyang toasted, Zhou Baihu stretched out his hand to cover the wine glass, "To tell the truth, Captain Jinyi's wine, I don't dare to drink it in the future, if Captain Hu has something, you might as well say it first." ”
"I'm here for Guan Dazi." Hu Guiyang put down his wine glass.
And so it was. Indeed, I have a lot of dealings with the Guan family, I don't hide it, Guan Dazi is from Tongzhou Wei, and when there are big or small things, I will take care of it for him, and every New Year's Day, he will give me a little silver. I know where this money came from, but I can't control it, Guan Dazi won't listen to me. Dignitaries have always been wild and untamable, as long as they do not flee or rebel, their bosses will turn a blind eye. If Captain Hu wants to be held accountable, I have no opinion, so I will start with me, a hundred households, and go all the way to the commander of Tongzhou Wei. ”
All kinds of chaos in the military guard is not new, Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "Even if you want to be held accountable, it is not my turn to be a little captain in brocade to take care of it, Zhou Baihu doesn't have to be nervous, just talk to you for a few words." ”
Zhou Baihu asked vigilantly: "Is it really just idle talk?" ”
"Seriously."
Fan Dajian, who was accompanying him, said: "Captain Hu is in the Jinyi Weinan Division, how can he care about the idle affairs here?" ”
Zhou Baihu was a little relieved, removed his palm, and picked up the wine glass, "Since that's the case, I'll do it first." ”
After drinking a few glasses of wine, seeing that these three people really had no intention of holding them accountable, Zhou Baihu opened the conversation, "I am not surprised that Guan Dazi died outside, his family has also been prepared, and he may be relieved." This guy is really not a good thing, he has done all the bad things, and a little money is used to make friends, and he rarely subsidizes his family. I took him a little money, but I did enough to cut off his head, do you think I am willing? Of course I don't want to, but I can't help it, he holds the silver in one hand, the knife in the other, and a few fierce gods and evil spirits around him, I have to accept it if I don't want to. ”
"You are a hundred households, and your position is higher than Guan Dazi, right?" Fan Dajian said.
"It's useless, he chopped me up with a knife, and I still want to be a hero, what should I do? What should I do as a family? The wicked have their own wicked grinding, and I can't afford to provoke them...... Look at my broken mouth, Captain Hu is serving in Jinyiwei, killing him is to eliminate harm for the people, and he is by no means a wicked person. ”
"You know I killed him?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile, without pointing out that the real murderer was Fan Dajian.
Zhou Baihu was slightly embarrassed, "It's not a secret, several of Guan Dazi's accomplices are looking for people everywhere these days and want to ...... Revenge for Kwan Tatsuko. ”
"Revenge?" Yuan Mao was surprised, "They still want to sue Captain Hu for nothing?" ”
Finding that the other party didn't know about this, Zhou Baihu was even more embarrassed, "I don't know the specific situation, anyway, those people are very happy, but no one pays attention to them, who doesn't know who Guan Dazi is?" Besides, Captain Hu is a Jinyi guard, they can't make a result, and it will stop in a few days. ”
A few people chatted for a while, not only Zhou Baihu, but even Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian became more and more confused, not understanding what Hu Guiyang wanted to ask, he was really chatting about it.
Hu Guiyang did not just come to chat with someone, but only when he was almost drunk did he ask about the matter: "Does Guan Dazi have any special friends?" ”
"If you want to talk about fox friends and dog friends, Guan Dazi has a lot, either the children of military families like him, or the so-called heroes and heroes outside, I don't know what is special?"
"The kind that knows how to spell." Hu Guiyang wanted to find out the connection between Guan Dazi and He Million, after all, he had received a letter from Wenjiazhuang, and he had to investigate this matter.
Zhou Baihu thought seriously for a while, "This ...... It's really hard to say, although Guan Dazi has many friends, I don't know a few, to say that he can spell, Guan Dazi because of his surname Guan, he has admired Guan Gong since he was a child, and often goes to the Daguan Emperor Temple to incense, and he is very familiar with the Taoist priests there. ”
"Blind Sun?" Fan Dajian immediately said a name.
"Yes, yes, it's him, the blind Taoist Sun Futing, the first mage in Tongzhou, he has more contacts with Guan Dazi."
Fan Dajian snorted disdainfully, and was about to open his mouth to introduce this blind man, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, followed by a loud voice, "Hu Guiyang, you are not small, dare to come to our Tongzhou, come out and be tied up quickly!" ”
The four people in the room were taken aback, Yuan Mao got up, pushed the door and went out to check the situation, and soon came back, looking even more surprised, "It's the officers and soldiers, who said that they came to arrest Captain Hu on the order of Chen Kui, the governor of the capital." ”
The others didn't do anything, Zhou Baihu was so frightened that his face turned white, he slipped off the chair, and sat on the ground, "Guan Dazi's accomplices have been bribed by the king of Tongzhou?" Captain Hu, you're going to kill me. ”
