Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)

Lying in the coffin for a long time, it was not as comfortable as at the beginning, and Hu Guiyang fell asleep a little later than usual.

Early the next morning, Hu Guida took the initiative to be Hu Guiyang's attendant, "Someone has to run errands for you, right?" He said.

So the two of them went to Jinyiwei together.

They arrived relatively early, the government office had just opened, and Zhao Ying, who used to serve in the Southern Division, could enter casually, and the two sons had not yet become official Jinyi guards, so naturally they did not have this qualification, so they could only wait on the street.

Hu Guida recognized the official in front of the door, went to report, and came back soon, "Lord Yuan hasn't arrived yet, wait a while." ”

The street is wide and tidy, there are officers and soldiers guarding everywhere, there are not many idlers coming and going, the two stand by the wall and wait, Hu Gui sighed: "In the past, when my father-in-law came, he rarely waited, and he could always see Lord Yuan immediately, and occasionally he had to wait, but he also sat in the class room, and it was only less than two days...... That's probably what it means for people to take tea and cool it, right? It cooled down too quickly. ”

"You have to drink that cup of tea to feel that the tea is cold, just don't fight, it doesn't matter if it's hot or cold."

"What do you mean?" Hu Guida was a little confused.

"After investigating this case, I'll leave."

"Let's go? Where to? Hu Guida was even more confused.

"Get out of here and go to Nanjing, Jiangnan is a prosperous place, buy a few acres of good land, stay away from right and wrong, and live a leisurely life." Hu Guiyang raised his head slightly, leisurely.

Hu Gui was stunned for a while, "To put it easily, do you have money?" ”

"Money is a problem, but I saved a little silver, probably enough to cover the cost of the journey."

"Isn't that the end of it?"

"You can sell smuggled salt, it's a lucrative business, you can earn a few thousand taels in just three or five years, and then you can realize your dream."

Hu Guida turned his head and glanced at the gate of Jinyiwei, feeling that the third and sixth brothers were too bold, and whispered: "Selling illicit salt is a serious crime, we are obviously officers and soldiers, no matter what, we will not fall into thieves, if the father-in-law is still ......."

"So I haven't left, just waiting for this day, when my father-in-law dies, I'll be at ease, we'll all be at ease, and we can choose a new way of living."

Hu Gui shook his head straightly, "I have a way to live, that is, I work hard to investigate cases and make meritorious contributions, and strive to become an official brocade guard as soon as possible, so that I will have no worries about food and clothing, which is much better than farming." ”

"Hehe, since that's the case, don't blame 'people for taking tea cool', if you want to take the imperial court, you have to endure the coldness of the official family, not to mention the tea cold, even if it's a bucket of urine......"

"Brother Sanliu, don't say it, I understand what you mean, I'm a little disgusting if I keep talking."

"Haha."

One after another, officials entered the Jinyi Health Office, but none of them were Yuan Bin, the weather was a little cold, Hu Guida stomped his feet lightly, and couldn't help complaining: "Didn't Lord Yuan invite us here?" Alas, if the Father-in-law is still there...... It's useless to say this. ”

Hu Guiyang stretched his waist, "Let's go, don't wait, it is estimated that Lord Yuan has something to do, and he won't come today." ”

"If you come, won't Lord Yuan be angry when you see that we are not here?"

"Let him be angry at me, I didn't want to enter the Jinyi Guard anyway."

Hu Guiyang raised his leg to leave, Hu Gui grabbed an arm, "This is not good, you don't want to be a brocade guard, we still want to, if Lord Yuan is to blame, he will definitely not blame you alone, it will affect us all." ”

"Okay." Hu Guiyang stopped and said with a smile: "But you have to promise me one thing." ”

"You say." Hu Guida weighed for a moment, "As long as I can do it, I will agree." ”

"You can do it for sure. If I'm not mistaken, you'll definitely be able to become a brocade guard in the future. ”

"That's a good dare, thanks to your auspicious words."

"As for me, nine times out of ten, I'm a smuggler in the roaring rivers and lakes, maybe one day we will meet on a narrow road, and then you can let me go."

"Brother Sanliu, you ...... Do you really want to go? That's not possible, I don't agree, and whoever is in charge of the eldest brother and fifth brother will not agree. ”

Hu Guiyang laughed, laughing so that the officers and soldiers in front of the Jinyi guard looked sideways, Hu Gui blushed and said, "Brother Sanliu, you are joking with me again." ”

Hu Guiyang just laughed, and said for a while: "Life in the world, maybe it's a big joke, laugh when you should laugh, laugh if you shouldn't, laugh if you shouldn't." ”

Hu Guida disagreed with such a statement, "Brother Sanliu, you are a weird person, you have been weird since you were a child, and you are even weirder when you grow up." ”

Hu Guiyang hummed a small tune gently, and no longer paid attention to the third and ninth brothers, no one could see that this was a person with a funeral in the family.

It was almost noon, Hu Guida was also a little anxious, knowing that Lord Yuan did not come, he still went to inquire twice, but the result was disappointed, and he was reprimanded for the last time, he came back with a red face, and did not dare to ask again.

A person walked out of the office diagonally opposite, looked around, and Hu Gui said in surprise: "Isn't that the entourage next to Lord Yuan?" How did you run away to the former military governor's mansion? ”

Hu Guida hurriedly greeted him and saluted with his fists from afar.

Hu Guiyang stood still and whispered, "You can definitely become a Jinyi guard." ”

After a few conversations, Hu Gui ran back, with a more surprised expression on his face, "Brother Sanliu, let's go, Lord Yuan is waiting for you in the former military capital governor's mansion, he ...... He doesn't care about Jinyiwei anymore! ”

In the past twenty years, the Jinyi Guard has been intermittently in charge of Yuan Bin, sometimes with others in charge of the guard, sometimes he will be expelled, but he can always stand tall in the end, since Emperor Chenghua ascended the throne, his position has become more and more stable, and at this time he was suddenly transferred to the former military capital governor's mansion, which is really unexpected.

The former military capital governor's office is nominally one level higher than Jinyiwei, but the real power is much worse, which is the so-called Ming Sheng's real depreciation.

"Who is in charge of Jinyiwei now? The janitor didn't tell me a word, and he usually treated them as friends. Hu Gui muttered loudly, led the way in front, and went to the former military governor's mansion opposite.

Although it is just across the street, the Governor's Mansion is much more deserted than the Jinyi Health Office, Hu Guida stayed in the gatehouse and waited, and Hu Guiyang was taken to the back hall to meet the Governor Yuan Bin.

Hu Guiyang saw Yuan Bin once, that time he followed behind his father-in-law, he was not qualified to speak, let alone introduced, it is estimated that Lord Yuan can't remember himself, so he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Hu Guiyang, a grass man, is reckless and rude, and I hope that the adult is not strange." ”

The "grass people" refused to bow down, and Yuan Bin's entourage immediately had no good impression of Hu Guiyang.

Yuan Bin didn't care, sat behind the table, and waved his hand tiredly, "It's not strange, I forgot to inform you, didn't wait too long, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a morning, and there's nothing else going on anyway."

Yuan Bin motioned to the entourage to look at the tea, and when the entourage withdrew, he said: "The world is unpredictable, when I invited you to come yesterday, I was still the handsome Wei Ti in brocade, and today I will fall into the former military governor's mansion." ”

"Respectful and light, you can live for a long time, how many people envy adults."

"Hehe, you can talk. Also, it is too easy to offend people in Jinyiwei, after all, it is not a long-term place, and it can be transferred to the former military capital governor's mansion, which can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end. ”

"My lord, 'the prime minister can support the boat in his belly', and he will be blessed in the future." Hu Guiyang stood there holding tea in both hands, and his words of flattery were equally sharp.

Yuan Bin stared at him for a while, "Zhao Ying has too many righteous sons, have I seen you?" ”

"I met once, my father-in-law took us to Shanxi to capture demons, and when we came back, we were summoned by adults."

"Chenghua...... In April of the eighth year, you were still young at that time, right? ”

"Well, seventeen or eighteen."

"Zhao Ying taught you well." Yuan Bin said with a smile, even older, and a little kind, "Hu Guiyang, I've heard your name, Zhao Ying once talked about the righteous son he admired, and you were one of them." ”

"My father-in-law thinks highly of me, and among all my brothers, I am the most lazy and mediocre."

"Zhao Ying did say that you are not a person who seeks to be motivated, but you are detached from the outside and see things most thoroughly, and said that you don't believe in ghosts and gods the most, and you can continue his mantle."

"I really didn't expect my father-in-law to look at me like this." Hu Guiyang smiled wryly.

"Allegedly, you dare to speak, but I don't see it."

"When grass people see officials, they always have to abide by the rules."

"There are no outsiders here, and it's not the lobby of the official mansion, Zhao Ying is very casual in front of me, so can you."

With Yuan Bin's encouragement, Hu Guiyang smiled and took a sip of tea first, "Okay, first of all, I don't want to inherit my father-in-law's 'mantle', inheriting that big mansion is almost the same, but I know that I don't have this qualification." ”

"Not necessarily, it still depends on whether you want to fight or not."

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I don't want to fight, but I think adults still want to fight, and they want to go back to Jinyiwei." ”

"I'm not the prime minister, I can't hold the boat in my stomach, and I don't want to retire here." Yuan Bin got up slowly, raised his hand to signal that he didn't need help, slowly walked around the table, and walked towards Hu Guiyang, "This is not the first time I have been kicked out of Jinyiwei, and it will not be the last, last time I had your stepfather to help, this time I need you." ”

"A Grass Folk ......"

Yuan Bin waved his hand, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking, "The demon fox case is more serious than the outside world thinks, you don't need to know the details, but it is very important to find out the cause of Zhao Ying's death." Probably because he felt that he was too ruthless, Yuan Bin added: "Zhao Ying has followed me for many years, and I don't want him to die in vain." ”

Hu Guiyang didn't care about human affection, "My father-in-law's body disappeared yesterday, did my lord hear about it?" ”

Yuan Bin's face sank, "The East Factory and the West Factory will be very happy." ”

"Because this shows that there is something like a demon fox?"

"Zhao Ying, your father-in-law, has spent most of his life exposing the deception of gods and ghosts, and it is most appropriate for his death to prove the existence of gods and ghosts." Yuan Bin turned around, he was too old, his waist couldn't be straightened, but his voice was not weak.

No matter what the original purpose was, and no matter what the true belief in his heart was, after years of cooperation, Zhao Ying's business was Yuan Bin's career, and the two were inseparable.

"You not only find out the truth about Zhao Ying's death, but also save his reputation and defeat the slander that the two factories are about to launch against him." Yuan Bin added.

"I'm afraid I don't have the skills." Hu Guiyang felt more and more headaches.

"Find Zhao Ying's body and prove that his death has nothing to do with the demon fox, that's enough, as for the future, leave it to me."

Hu Guiyang was silent, he was self-aware, the eunuchs wanted to prove the existence of ghosts and gods through the demon fox case, and the retribution was unhappy, so as to persuade the emperor to embark on the road to immortality, Yuan Bin insisted on his previous position, persuaded the emperor to stay away from the traitorous eunuchs, and took the opportunity to return to Jinyiwei.

In the face of various forces, Zhao Ying's righteous sons have their own tendencies, but Hu Guiyang has always stayed out of the matter, and he has been named by his father-in-law, so he has become the best candidate to investigate the truth.

But he can't afford to offend anyone, not to mention Yuan Bin and the eunuchs of the two factories, they are brothers in the family, and he can't control it now.

Yuan Bin obviously understood Hu Guiyang's thoughts, turned around again, gently put his right palm on the young man's shoulder, and said earnestly: "You are not small, you have to fight once when you should fight, although I left Jinyiwei temporarily, it is not useless." Zhao Ying used to be a member of the Yanshan avant-garde, I can transfer you in now, let's start by trying out 100 households, and after I succeed, I will teach it later, and wait for me to return. ”

"Yes, later." Hu Guiyang was a little moved, no matter what, Baihu is much stronger than the smuggler of salt, "I want to protect my father-in-law's reputation." ”

A smile appeared on Yuan Bin's face, "Yes, that's it." Don't worry, I'm not your only backer, there are many people in the court who don't believe in ghosts and gods, and they will help when necessary. ”

Hu Guiyang felt that he was weaker than the old man in front of him.
