Hu Guiyang's duties in the outer office of his house are very simple, that is, to do nothing, from morning to night, occupy a room alone, small and dark, there is not even a person to talk to, occasionally go out to wander, like a transparent ghost, walking between the lieutenant and the executioner, without any attention.

It took nearly half an hour to adapt to this kind of life, Hu Guiyang began to find things to do for himself, the first thing was of course to arrange a bed for himself to sleep, there were a table and two stools in the house, the table was too short, the stool was too low, he went to the front and back yards to wander, brought a few pieces of firewood, sharpened them with a waist knife, and put them under the stools, so that they were level with the table, and finally could curl up and lie on them.

When I woke up, I was just in time for lunch to be served in the yamen, although there was no wine, but there was meat and vegetables, which was more sumptuous than Hu Zhai.

Hu Guiyang began to like the life of sitting in the yamen, and when he went out after dinner, he walked around the yamen again, and found that this place not only belonged to his own room, but also several other rooms, shared several scribes, and there were many school captains, and he could enjoy a room alone, which was already the treatment of the head of the room.

Now he was even happier, and even planned to thank Zuo Yu.

Several heads of the house share a main hall, and in addition to this, each head has a study, Zuo Baihu is working in Nansi, and Hu Guiyang has not found anyone.

It is said that it is a study, but there are not many books, piled up with official documents, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., in addition to the swords, bows and crossbows hanging on the wall, which is quite the style of a military attaché.

Hu Guiyang looked carefully and found that these weapons were very clean at a glance, but there was still dust on a closer look, obviously because the slaves were not wiped carefully enough, probably they were swept with a duster a few times, and there were no traces of frequent use.

He took out three jade pendants that were quite similar from his bosom, one in the pile of old papers, one in the quiver, and one simply hung on the back of a sword, and the two matched as if it had always been so.

Hu Guiyang nodded with satisfaction, "If this can still be found, I can't help it." ”

A scribe pushed the door into the house, and when he saw Hu Guiyang, he was stunned, "You...... What are you doing here? This is the secret room of the 100 households, and you are not allowed to enter without a summons! ”

"The Chamber of Secrets? But the door was open. ”

The scribe was angry, he had just gone to dinner with his colleagues, but he didn't expect someone to dare to break into the study, "Why don't you know the rules?" Get out, get out of here. ”

"I'm here to thank Zuo Baihu ......"

"Go, go." The scribe pushed the uninteresting lieutenant out, closed the door, looked around, and found nothing unusual, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Guiyang's own room was too small to be opened, so he found an open space in the corner of the yamen to practice boxing, which attracted the attention of some people, but it was just a glance, no one stopped, and no one spoke.

Others thought he was a ghost, and Hu Guiyang also didn't exist when everyone else didn't exist, concentrating on practicing boxing and silently practicing the fire god technique.

Such days have passed for ten days in a row, coming early and going late, no one pays attention, Hu Guiyang had a day off in the middle, but he was arranged to be on duty at the yamen, he accepted it calmly, anyway, he had nothing to do when he went home, at most teasing the dog.

In the afternoon, most of the people in the yamen went out on business with the head of the house, and the rest of the people hid in the house to discuss when the first batch of charcoal of the year would be removed, but the weather was getting colder and colder.

Only Hu Guiyang still insists on practicing boxing outside.

"This is a long fist?" A scribe in a long shirt came over at some point and asked.

This is the first time that someone in the yamen took the initiative to speak, Hu Guiyang was very uncomfortable, and after withdrawing his hand, he looked left and right, confirmed that the other party was really talking to him, and then replied: "Yes." ”

"Who did you learn from?"

"A martial artist surnamed Wang, I learned with everyone when I was a child, and I forgot what his name was."

"Wang Xintai? In the city, it is reasonable to say that his thirty-two potential long fists are also available, and he teaches art everywhere, as long as he gives money, he will accept any apprentice. ”

"It seems to be, with a big beard, a little hoarse voice, and a bit of a Shandong accent."

"It's him, but he doesn't have a big beard now, after being defeated by a young junior two years ago, he closed his door and shaved his beard, saying that he wanted to shave Mingzhi, practice boxing hard, and wait until he defeated the junior, and then grow a beard."

"I didn't expect Master Wang to be so ambitious."

"Hey, it's just talking, he is taking advantage of the situation to wash his hands, and he has since quit the rivers and lakes to become a rich man."

"Can you make a lot of money teaching boxing?"

"Teaching boxing doesn't make money, but you can get to know a lot of people, and you can go in and out of big people's homes and report to the thieves outside."

"Master Wang...... Ever done something like this? ”

"Normal, enhance affection, and there is money to share, many martial artists do this."

"What about the 'affection' of the robbed people?"

"I'm talking about the love of the rivers and lakes, most of the rich families in the capital are rich and unkind, not the same people in the rivers and lakes, it's nothing to grab it."

"The Zhao family has not been robbed."

"The Zhao family is powerful, and Zhao Ying has a good reputation, who dares to rob him? Wang Xintai only taught boxing in the Zhao family. ”

Hu Guiyang nodded and said suspiciously, "Are you from this yamen?" I haven't seen you, and you sound like a charlatan. ”

"The entry is the public court, the exit is the rivers and lakes, in the lower river, the cultivation of the Yun, the Nanjing people, often come to the capital to walk, and they are also very familiar with this side."

"The entry is the school captain, the people are the people who go out, in the lower Hu Guiyang, the osmanthus of the osmanthus, the flying Yang, I don't know where the people are, I grew up in the capital, right here...... Not as familiar as you. ”

Jiang Yun laughed, "Worthy of his reputation, Captain Hu is really an interesting person." ”

"Hehe, my reputation turned out to be 'funny'?"

"You don't seek officials, so you don't need to be majestic, you don't ask for wealth, so you don't need to calculate, you don't seek fame, so you don't need to be righteous, there are no these three things, 'fun' is the best reputation."

"Makes sense, you...... It should be famous, right? ”

"There are people in the rivers and lakes who spread my reputation, have you heard of 'Nanjing Baimeng taste'?"

"'Meng Wei' means that you are righteous and squandering your wealth and followers, where does the word 'white' start?"

Jiang Yun is not white at all, his complexion is sallow, and he seems to have a sick appearance, "Because I like to use silver to 'squander' money." ”

Hu Guiyang laughed and stepped forward to meet him, "People like you are destined to be famous, I haven't even heard of it, it's really unheard of." ”

"This is the capital, there are many heroes, it's normal that you haven't heard of my name."

"How did Brother Jiang enter the yamen?" Hu Guiyang even changed his title.

Jiang Yun picked up his waist card and shook it, "I was transferred from Jinyiwei, and from today onwards, I will be considered a colleague with Brother Hu." ”

Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Jiang is really a member of the public family. ”

"Without a public identity, what can I do to squander my money?"

Hu Guiyang admired this person's straightforwardness, and arched his hand: "I am also a member of the public family, but I am so poor that I can barely support myself, how can Brother Jiang have any surplus wealth?" ”

"Hey, it's the same path as Wang Xintai, but I don't make friends with robbers."

Hu Guiyang didn't seem to understand when he heard it, Jiang Yun smiled and said: "If Zhao Ying and Zhao Baihu are still alive, I can explain it to you clearly, so I won't talk too much." Are you the captain of your own house? ”

"Yes."

"Very good, can you take me to meet the 100 households?"

"Yes, but Zuo Baihu is not here, so he took his subordinates out to handle the case."

"It's okay, take me to his study."

"This way, please." Hu Guiyang led the way, and became more and more curious about this person in his heart, "You came from Nanjing, have you heard of the Tao?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then you may recognize Shen Qianyuan."

"I recognize, I think he was also an iron-clad man in Nanjing, but since he returned to Beijing, he has taken the crooked road, and now he is mixed with a group of people who pretend to be gods and ghosts, and his reputation on the rivers and lakes is completely ruined."

"I haven't seen him in a long time."

"It's good not to see." Jiang Yun said lightly.

At the door of the study, Hu Guiyang stopped, "This is it, you can go in by yourself, I am the captain, and you are not allowed to enter without being summoned." ”

Jiang Yun smiled: "Okay, I'll invite you in." ”

"You have the power?"

"I think there is."

Hu Guiyang was a bold and reckless person, and said with a smile: "If you dare to invite, I will dare to enter." ”

The two made a gesture of invitation at the same time, Hu Guiyang knocked twice, pushed the door and entered the house.

Recently, there have been a lot of things, and the scribe was burying his head in writing, and when he looked up and saw Hu Guiyang, he couldn't help but be furious, "I told you a long time ago, this is not a place you can enter casually." ”

"It's not me, it's this one." Hu Guiyang dodged and let go of Jiang Yun behind him.

The scribe was stunned, "You are ......"

"Wei Li transferred me. Are you a warden here? ”

"Yes. I haven't heard that you're going to transfer someone, what about your paperwork? ”

Jiang Yun stepped forward, took out a document and handed it over, the scribe took it in his hand and read it again, looked up at the visitor suspiciously, looked down again, and then changed his face to a smile, "It turned out that the adult came to the main thing, and the villain didn't know, so he couldn't go out to greet him, and he hoped to forgive his sins." ”

The experience level is not high, but he is the top boss of the scribes in the guard, no wonder the scribe is first confused and then flattered.

Hu Guiyang was also taken aback, he didn't expect Jiang Yun, who was dressed in cloth, to be a character.

"Well, not guilty, you go out first, I want to check my own papers."

"Huh? This one...... No, this is the ...... of the left hundred households."

"Even if it's a thousand households, I've found out, do you want me to show Weili's order?"

The scribe hurriedly shook his head, too late to pack up the pen and paper, slowly exited the room, closed the door gently, turned around and ran, to find someone to inform the left pre outside on business.

Jiang Yun looked around, "The two rooms have the largest number of people and the heaviest responsibilities, but there is only one person who handles the paperwork, how can he be busy?" What kind of mess is going here? ”

"Order in chaos. Jiang experience, do you recognize me? ”

"I've heard of your name." Jiang Yun walked to the wall and looked at the jade pendant.

"I'm a lieutenant, I don't know how to write, so I'm not in the way here."

"Don't go yet, I have something to ask you." Jiang Yun didn't look back, reached out and picked up the jade pendant, stroked it lightly a few times, let go and turned around, and said with a smile: "I heard that you know the Heavenly Machine Ship very well?" ”

"I have had a little contact, if I want to say that I understand, it is better to go to Shen Qianyuan for Jiang experience, his friends who pretend to be gods and ghosts, and they are more familiar with the Tianji ship than me."

"That's a group of ignorant and delusional, the so-called 'familiarity' is nothing more than a rumor, I want the most truthful news."

"Then you should find the Wen family, especially Gu Zhongxian, no one knows the Heavenly Machine Ship better than him."

"Gu Zhongxian has found it, and interestingly, he claims that there is a treasure in the world in your hands."

Hu Guiyang pursed his lips, "Probably the wrong way you asked, Gu Zhongxian knows about the Heavenly Machine Ship, but he may not be able to say that it is implemented, his ability to deceive people can be called the best in the world." ”

"That's what I thought too." Jiang Yun beckoned, motioned for Hu Guiyang to come closer, and said with a smile: "But this time I believe what he said." ”
