Wei Ying's excerpt had just been written, and before it was sent to the West Factory, a lieutenant came over to give an order, asking Hu Guiyang to go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to wait, alone, and not allowed to bring an entourage.

Wei Ying asked Brother Hua to put Hu Guiyang in the front yard and said, "It's simple, the factory wants you to go to the yamen tomorrow morning." ”

"The factory boss wants to see me?"

"Not necessarily, but this is an opportunity, you can directly make a request to meet the factory official, and I don't need to write it in the fold."

"Hehe, my wish has come true, I hope I can ask the factory for a few more days."

Wei Ying nodded with a smile, in his opinion, it is not a good thing for the factory to meet Hu Guiyang at this juncture, but it has nothing to do with him.

Hu Guiyang said goodbye, and as soon as he left the house, he happened to bump into Yuan Mao.

Yuan Mao arched his hand and said: "Captain Hu, you should also go to Nansi when you have time, the paperwork in the room is already full, and I have no place to sit." ”

Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "Can't you handle it yourself?" ”

"Captain Hu is the one in charge of the house, and I can only continue to deal with it if you draw a charge, even if it is a circle."

"I thought the job of the house was to clean the room."

"As long as it is a division and a room, there must be a correspondence, and the boss arranges a job for the house, regularly check whether the copies in the library are damaged, and the complete ones are returned to their original places, and the damaged ones are recorded in the book."

"Hehe, Lord Zhenfu really admires me and gives me such an important task."

The two chatted as they entered the backyard, and no one followed.

As soon as he entered the house, Yuan Mao immediately said: "The Zhang family refuses to divulge the truth, they must know that something happened to Zhang Yi, but they pretend not to know." If I asked again, I was afraid that my identity would be revealed, so I had to leave. ”

"What about the old way?"

"He hasn't come back yet."

"Well, it's okay, I'm going to see Wang Zhi tomorrow, and I can inquire directly from him."

Yuan Mao was silent.

"What do you think?" Hu Guiyang asked.

Yuan Mao's expression was extremely serious, "Actually, there is nothing to ask." ”

"Oh?"

"I thought about it carefully, and the matter was clear: I tried medicine in the palace, and accidentally turned Zhang Yi into a madman with skills beyond the alien, because it involved the East Palace and Concubine Zhang, so the West Factory hoped to capture him alive and solve the matter secretly, but it was messed up, and three alien masters were lost instead." Yuan Mao paused, "There can only be one reason why the factory man summoned you at this time, and he wanted to push the trouble on you." ”

Hu Guiyang listened with a smile, "In that case, why did Xichang allow me to investigate the case and find the assassin?" The factory must know that I am not going to 'secretly' find someone. ”

"Probably to cover people's eyes, and to think that you can't find the Assassin. In short, you have to be careful, no matter how good the promise of the factory sounds, don't accept it. According to the current situation, if you can't solve the case within the time limit, it's a big deal for you to resign from your position and become a civilian from now on. ”

"You're right, even if Wang Zhi kneels down and begs me, I have to refuse."

Yuan Mao said with a smile: "The factory man probably won't kneel down and beg for help." I will go out of the city early tomorrow morning to greet Lao Dao, hoping to dig up a little news from the Qinghe River to help you get out of danger. ”

Yuan Mao said goodbye, and Wei Ying in the front yard knew that he was investigating the case for Hu Guiyang, but he didn't stop to ask, but just wrote down the time of the arrival and departure of the guests 1510, and prepared to send them to Xichang.

Hu Guiyang walked back and forth in the courtyard, and finally knocked on Guan Mutong's door.

The old beggar just refused to throw away the broken bowl and dog beating stick in his hand, "Why does Master Hu have time to come?" Come in. ”

Hu Guiyang entered the room and asked, "How many guests are there?" ”

"No more, no less, exactly thirty."

"Including Mei Langzhong?"

"Thirty-one, if you count him. I don't think there will be more strangers coming, more than half of the strangers are officers and soldiers, only a few people escaped from the barracks, most of them are still serving the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes who can come to Zhao's house for help, that's all. ”

"Thirty, well, why didn't anyone ask me to take Jindan today? There were three more yesterday. ”

"Really? That is, it is not today's turn, or someone will go later. Guan Mutong said with a smile.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. With so many Inhumans coming together, it's a great opportunity for you. ”

"Really?" Guan Mutong was puzzled.

"You can convince the Inhumans to join forces to fight the enemy again, seven Inhumans can't beat Li Xingtian, ten or twenty can, right?"

Guan Mutong smiled bitterly: "Most of the strangers are proud, and it wasn't my credit for the seven people to join forces last time, it was Li Xingtian's invitation by name, and everyone didn't dare not go, so ......"

"You lured two of my friends at that time, so that he could hear the sound of Li Xingtian's murder, which shows that you are a person with a plan, then it is better to make a plan than to sit back and wait for death."

"The imperial court has more strangers, can't it come forward to get rid of Li Xingtian?"

"Yes, when all the strangers on the rivers and lakes are dead, the court will administer justice for you."

Guan Mutong smiled bitterly again, "Yes, we refuse to accept the government's recruitment, how can we get the protection of the government?" I'm so stupid. Well, I understand what Captain Hu meant, since I bear the name of 'leader', I work hard to get the Inhumans to join forces. Can I use the name of Captain Hu? You know, one sentence of yours is a hundred of my sentences. ”

"Use whatever you want, just don't give me random promises."

"No, never. I'll call Jiang Daxia again, and with his help, things can go more smoothly. ”

"How has he been for the past two days?"

"I'm not in a good mood and rarely go out of the house."

"Hey, it's really a real martial arts person, good face, I can't stand the defeat."

"No, like us people, if we lose, we will be defeated, as long as we can save our lives."

Hu Guiyang bowed his hand and took his leave, "By the way, I saw the names on the doors of each room, you did a good job, but how can it be unevenly distributed, like Jiang Dongxia lives alone, but there are three people living in Xiao Tan's room?" ”

"This ...... There's no way, if someone is good at talking, they can stuff two more, and if someone is not good at talking, ......"

"It's hard to be an alien."

"But no, on the one hand, everyone was so scared that they came to Captain Hu for refuge, and on the other hand, they were used to solving problems with their fists and feet, and they would fight if they were not satisfied. Alas, if I had known this, I should have fished honestly on the river to see what was going on. ”

"There is another chance for you to return to the river to fish, but lose your divine power, are you willing?"

"Yes, without hesitation."

Hu Guiyang smiled, left Guan Mutong's room, and knocked on Jiang Dongxia's door again.

Jiang Dongxia opened the door, looking haggard, his injuries were not serious, he had already recovered, but he hadn't groomed much for a few days, and he had lost a lot of heroic demeanor.

"I have given up the position of leader to Mei Niangzi, I heard that she is gone and returned......"

"I was blinded in one eye by Li Xingtian." Hu Guiyang crossed the threshold and was uninvited.

Jiang Dongxia had no choice but to close the door, turned around and said, "Captain Hu is looking for me?" ”

"You aliens owe me a favor, don't you?"

Jiang Dongxia thought for a while, "It depends on the situation." ”

"What's the situation?"

"Who is protecting this house? Why didn't Li Xingtian come here to kill people? ”

"Isn't it because of me?"

After Jiang Dongxia lost to Mei Niangzi, he lost his ambition to lead the aliens, and his speech became much more direct, "Captain Hu is afraid that he doesn't have this ability." ”

"Indeed, I'm not a stranger, and I'm not a friend of Li Xingtian, why should I let Zhao Zhai go?"

Jiang Dongxia nodded, indicating that he meant so, "Captain Hu has a good reputation among the aliens, and we all thought that you would be the stranger with the highest martial arts, so we came here while it was a pity...... It seems that the rumors can't be taken too seriously. ”

"But you didn't leave."

"Where can I go? Outside is Li Xingtian, it is said that there is an assassin in the capital who specializes in killing strangers, and we are desperate, knowing that this is only a temporary place to live, and may even be a trap, but we have to be trapped here in order to find peace for a while. ”

"To attract so many strangers, Zhao Zhai is really like a trap."

"But I believe it has nothing to do with Captain Hu." Jiang Dongxia laughed.

"Because I'm so weak."

Jiang Dongxia smiled and acquiesced.

"In that case, the aliens should join forces, Guan Mutong is willing to work hard for this, what about you?"

Jiang Dongxia said lightly: "Guan Lao Beggar has been working hard for this for a long time, and at least half of the thirty strangers in Zhao Mansion have been persuaded by him. ”

"It's really modest to call Hanako, and I don't boast about achieving such a big achievement, and I also told me that people are proud and not easy to convince."

"No matter how proud a person is, he is afraid of death."

"What about you, are you afraid of death? Persuaded by Guan Mutong? ”

"I'm afraid of death, but I'm not going to join forces with anyone."

"Being defeated by Mrs. Mei made you so disheartened? I've heard that in fact, you can completely defeat Mei Niangzi, but you don't think it's worth it, and you'd rather admit defeat. ”

"Hey." Jiang Dongxia sneered, was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm not as powerful as I imagined, even if I am defeated-if I need to use all my strength to deal with a Mei lady, why should I face Li Xingtian?" ”

"Have you ever thought about fighting Li Xingtian alone?"

"Doesn't he call himself a martial artist? I'm a martial artist, so ...... Forget it, it's all wishful thinking. ”

"What are you going to do if you don't want to join forces with other Inhumans and give up the idea of fighting alone? Just wait to die? ”

Jiang Dongxia stared at Hu Guiyang, smiled and shook his head, not feeling the need to answer every question of the other party.

"Mei Niangzi and her husband are practicing magic skills hard, but Jiang Daxia wants to find a backer temporarily?"

Jiang Dongxia's face sank, "Jiang doesn't dare to be the word 'hero', but it won't be ...... Anyway, I have my own way. ”

Hu Guiyang took out the red jade from his arms and put it on the table, "Does it help you?" ”

Jiang Dongxia was shocked, "This is ......"

"This is the real golden pill, the only one left on my body, you can try it."

Jiang Dongxia didn't try, "Jin Dan should be shared by everyone, you give it to me, what do you give to everyone?" ”

"Most Inhumans don't actually need this golden pill, just for show. When everyone suspected that Jindan was fake, only you were the most worried, so you came to check the situation. ”

"It was my turn to take Dan that day."

"It's not just you, but two people, do you think they really care about the authenticity of Jin Dan?"

Jiang Dongxia pondered for a while and sighed, "Guan Mutong provided them with the golden pill?" ”

"It may not be Jindan, it may be something else, more effective than Jindan."

Jiang Dongxia picked up the red jade, and as soon as he started it, he confirmed that it was the real Jin Dan, "I really owe Captain Hu a favor." ”

"Don't take it too seriously, I will have a catastrophe tomorrow, life and death are uncertain, and it is a waste to keep the golden pill, it is better to give it away, I hope you can use it well."

"Of course...... Captain Hu is in trouble, I can help. ”

"No, maybe I'll be able to get away with it and live a better life." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

He understood that it must be one of his actions that annoyed Wang Zhi before he was invited.
