Chapter 260: The Accidental Dead
Hu Guiyang made his own bed and had a good night's sleep, even if the sky fell during the period, he felt that it was worth it, the only regret was that he couldn't wake up naturally, and he was dragged out of the dream by someone.
He didn't remember the dream, he only remembered how much he hated these two, "The murderous mansion can't stop you two from trespassing into my room." ”
Zheng Sanhun said with a smile: "It's daytime, ghosts don't dare to come out, we're not afraid." ”
Jiang Erpi saw Hu Guiyang's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly said: "There are big and urgent matters, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the door." ”
"Give it to me." Hu Guiyang lay down again, closed his eyes, and stretched out a hand from the bed.
"What?" Jiang Erpi was stunned.
"The key to my door."
"I haven't installed it yet, and the lock that I can't open is not easy to find in the capital." Jiang Erpi was quite complacent.
Hu Guiyang yawned, "You two didn't look for it at all, did you?" ”
Jiang Erpi smiled, and Zheng Sanhun said: "I was going to find the lock today, but a big incident happened last night in Wuque Hutong, and as soon as the city gate opened in the morning, we entered the city to deliver a letter to you, and we didn't have time to do anything else." ”
"Wuque Hutong is dead again?"
Hu Guiyang asked casually, and Jiang and Zheng exclaimed at the same time, "Hey, how do you know?" ”
Hu Guiyang opened his eyes, "Are you two a mourning star?" Every time I go to Wuque Hutong, people die. Didn't I tell you you don't have to ask about anything, just mess around? ”
The two of them shook their heads and waved their hands together, "It has nothing to do with us, I just happened to hear about this and thought you would be interested." ”
"Unless the deceased is a Yunyang alien......"
"Hey, you know that?" Jiang and Zheng's expressions were not only surprised, but also a little frightened.
Hu Guiyang was really taken aback this time, and sat up suddenly, "It's really a stranger?" ”
The two nodded vigorously, and Jiang Erpi said: "Just last night, it should be around the third watch, we were about to finish work and rest, when we suddenly heard someone running in a hurry on the street, we thought about it, although Brother Hu Guiyang said that there was no need to ask, but ......"
"Tell me who died." Hu Guiyang got out of bed and put on his clothes and boots, and wanted to see if several strangers in the Zhao Mansion were there.
"I don't know what it's called, but I know it's a young man in his twenties, quite strong, and his body is full of muscles."
It didn't sound like an unknown soldier brought by Guo Juren, and Hu Guiyang didn't know a few strangers, so he couldn't help but be even more curious, "Then how do you know that it's a stranger?" ”
"The man in the flower shop said."
"Flower shop?"
"The first courtyard in the city, and the flower shop outside the city. I went with my third brother to help, but I was kicked out when I got there, but I heard them talk a few words, saying that the deceased had no hands under him, but he could go to the flower shop, and only Yiren could have such skills. ”
Hu Guiyang was taken aback again, "Tong Feng? ”
The two were also shocked, Zheng Sanhun said: "Someone did say 'Tong what', I thought it meant that the person was young, it turned out to be surnamed Tong - how do you know everything?" Where were you last night? Why are you still sleeping when it's dawn? ”
"Phew, I ...... last night Can you handle it? ”
Hu Guiyang glared, and Zheng Sanhun immediately put on a smiling face, "I'm curious for a while, Brother Guiyang, don't blame me." ”
Hu Guiyang didn't quite believe that the deceased would be Tong Feng, and he didn't even think that it would be a stranger, "You two must be mistaken, any Yunyang Yiren is a rare master in the world, and he won't die easily at the hands of others, not to mention that Tong Feng is a eunuch, what are you doing in Wuque Hutong?" ”
"We're weird, too." Jiang Erpi spread his hands, but he had to admit that they didn't inquire carefully enough, "Anyway, there is another person dead in Wuque Hutong, I heard that it is a strange person, maybe surnamed Tong, if it goes wrong, it is also nonsense from Guangxingpu." ”
"Guangxingpu?" Hu Guiyang remembered this name, and when Ren Liu's children dressed up as men, they inquired about an important piece of news, claiming that the wines of all the families in Wuque Hutong were provided by Guangxingpu.
"Yes."
"Isn't there no girl in Guangxingpu?"
Jiang and Zheng glanced at each other, thinking the same in their hearts, Hu Guiyang knew too many things, very suspicious, but he didn't dare to say it, Jiang Erpi replied: "Guangxingpu doesn't have a fixed sister, but you can transfer people from each shop at will, even if it is a seven fairy, you can be on call." ”
Zheng Sanhun added: "Ordinary people don't know how powerful Guangxingpu is, and we have already seen it." ”
Hu Guiyang hurriedly walked out, turned around at the door and said, "Wait for me here, don't walk around." ”
The two nodded, and when Hu Guiyang disappeared, Zheng Sanhun whispered, "Are we here by mistake?" How does he know everything? Last night's ......"
"That's it, in fact, he and our brothers can tell the truth, and there is no need to hide it."
The two discussed in a whisper, the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they felt, if they knew that Tong Feng was the master of the West Factory who had competed with Hu Guiyang, they would "suddenly realize".
Hu Guiyang came back soon, he went to see it, Xiao Kill Xiong and the other four were there, in fact, as long as the jade pendant was still hanging on the neck of the big cake, none of them would leave the Zhao Mansion half a step.
Before things were figured out, Hu Guiyang didn't want to say anything more to them.
"Take me to Guangxingpu."
Jiang and Zheng hid their suspicions in their hearts and went out with Hu Guiyang, and there happened to be three horses for them to ride.
The people of the capital are not allowed to ride horses at will, Hu Guiyang changed into a brocade guard uniform, and the other two acted as entourages, carefully mounted their horses, and after galloping out of the alley, they praised: "The horse is more stable than a mule." ”
The horse is not only steady, but also very fast, when the three of them arrived at Wuque Hutong, just around noon, there are not many pedestrians on the street, but there are many yamen tolerance to come and go, see Jinyi Wei, there is no obstruction.
Strictly speaking, there is no spring courtyard in Wuque Hutong, it is all shops for foreign merchants to stock and provide accommodation at the same time, a few months ago, the shops here changed business, and the bags of goods are getting fewer and less, but there are more and more people.
Guangxingpu is located at the eastern end of the alley, the scale is not the largest, the location is not the best, but it is the most powerful.
A group of officers and soldiers had gathered at the door of the shop, including several brocade guards.
The three of them dismounted, Jiang and Zheng didn't dare to step forward, stayed behind to watch the horses, Hu Guiyang walked over alone, there were still more than a dozen steps from the door, and he was stopped by two strange Jinyi guards.
"Where did the brother come from? What do you call it? "The one who stops is more polite.
"My surname is Hu, captain of Xichang."
The two people who stopped people were even more polite, "It turned out to be Captain Hu, and the adults from the West Factory have already entered." ”
"Yes, I'm here to find Wei Baihu." Hu Guiyang was stunned for a moment.
Blindfolded by him, the two immediately got out of the way, "Please." ”
Hu Guiyang squeezed through the crowd, walked through the front of the shop, and entered the backyard.
The backyard is not big, there are more crowded people, and most of them are Jinyi guards, most of them are strangers, these people don't know Hu Guiyang, and seeing that he is also a captain of Jinyi, no one asks about the origin.
Hu Guiyang walked slowly inside, wanting to listen to the audience's discussions, but the courtyard was quiet, and occasionally someone spoke, whispering in his ear, as if he was guarding against each other.
Hu Guiyang quickly understood the reason, although they were all Jinyi Guards, they were not a group, some were captains of the Guard, some belonged to the West Factory, some were from the East Factory, and a few were people from the patrol camp outside the city.
On Hu Guiyang's first day on duty in Xichang, he had seen some captains who came over to order, and these people were very surprised to see Hu Guiyang, but no one said anything, they all turned their heads and pretended not to see him.
was about to squeeze to the door of the accident room, and finally someone shouted: "Hu Guiyang! What are you doing here? Who asked you to come? Who let you in? ”
Nansi Zhen Fu Liang Xiu was Hu Guiyang's nominal direct boss, and he happened to come out of the room and saw this extremely annoying subordinate at a glance.
Hu Guiyang arched his hand and smiled: "I have a responsibility, how dare I not come?" ”
"Duty? What are your responsibilities? Liang Xiu said angrily.
"Well, please understand, unless the Xichang factory is here, I can't casually reveal my duties."
Liang Xiu sneered, turned to the house and asked, "Wei Baihu, did you call Hu Guiyang over?" ”
Baihu Wei Ying was really there, and when she came out of the house, she was also surprised, and quickly covered up the past, and said with a smile: "This case really has something to do with him, come in." ”
Liang Xiu strode away.
Hu Guiyang entered the house.
The room was very small, it used to be a storeroom, but it was hastily converted into a bedroom, and beds, tables and chairs were placed, and there were vague traces of various smells from the past, and now there was a smell of blood.
Dongchang Zuo was also there, ignoring Hu Guiyang and staring intently at the corpse on the ground.
That was really Tong Feng, although he had been prepared, Hu Guiyang was still extremely surprised.
Tong Feng lay on his back, with a small wound in his pharynx, and blood flowed out on both sides, like a red line the thickness of a finger.
The No. 1 master of the West Factory was killed from the front, and he was killed instantly, and the wound began to bleed a lot after he fell, so it only flowed to both sides, and did not leak to the chest.
Other than that, nothing is different.
Zuo Yu also walked out of the room, only the two people in Xichang were left, and Wei Ying whispered: "Where did you get the news?" ”
"Wuque Hutong is so famous, a little thing here will be spread to the city, I heard that the deceased was a eunuch, I felt uneasy, and immediately rushed here, I didn't expect it to be really him."
Wei Ying glanced out of the door and asked in a lower voice, "To be honest with me, did Tong Feng go to you?" ”
At this time, there was no point in lying again, Hu Guiyang nodded, "He beat me up and was chased away by other strangers." He didn't go back to the West Factory, why did he come here? ”
Wei Ying sighed lightly, "Tong Feng is probably afraid that you will make a complaint to the factory, so I want to hide here for a while, yesterday I asked you where Tong Feng went, just because I couldn't find him." ”
"Who opened Guangxingpu? Tong Feng hiding here can you not think of it? ”
Wei Ying smiled lightly, "Don't ask." ”
Liang Xiu said at the door: "Wei Baihu, let's discuss it, everyone from all sides has arrived." ”
The chamber was opposite, and the room where the accident occurred was guarded by several lieutenants, and no one was allowed to enter.
Wei Ying said to Hu Guiyang: "You wait outside." ”
Hu Guiyang's position is too low to be qualified to participate in the deliberations, and he has nothing to discuss, confirming that the deceased is Tong Feng is enough for him.
He hummed, and when a few adults entered the house and closed the door, he squeezed out of the store, returned to the street, and beckoned Jiang and Zheng to return to the city, but changed his mind halfway, "Who died in Lou's house?" Take me to see it. ”
Hu Guiyang knew in his heart that he had no way to stay out of Tong Feng's death, and his suspicion of him would only get heavier, and he had to get more information before others.
He wanted to know all the secrets of Wuque Hutong.
