Xiaocao went out for a run and promised never to make trouble in the prefect's yamen, just to find the sledgehammer.

Hu Guiyang understood the feeling of confidence and impatience after carrying the red ball, so he didn't stop it and went back to the house to rest.

There are more and more people gathered in Yunyang Mansion, the status is getting higher and higher, and the origin is becoming more and more complicated, and it is no longer a Jinyi lieutenant who can interfere at will, he just wants to sleep well.

When he woke up, Hu Guiyang felt very good, but unfortunately, the skill in his body seemed to be less, and he had returned to his original level, barely enough for walking the rivers and lakes, but it was difficult to move an inch in Yunyang City, and he was very likely to be unable to beat an ordinary soldier.

Hu Guiyang moved the table and chair and practiced a set of boxing in the middle of the room, confirming that most of his skills were really gone, although it was a white thing, he still missed it a little.

After thinking about it for a while, he admitted that he was actually very nostalgic, so strong that if Xiaocao was standing in front of him at this moment, he would open his mouth to ask for the red ball.

He sat quietly for a while, until the hunger in his stomach overcame the nostalgia in his heart, and then he got up and walked out of the room.

Xiaocao didn't know when she came back, she didn't show any tiredness, and she was practicing again, and when she saw Hu Guiyang, she slowed down a little and said, "I didn't find it." ”

Although Yunyang City is not big, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city, and trying to find someone from it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I'll go out and cook for yourself." Hu Guiyang didn't ask much.

"Hmm." The grass sped up and didn't stop.

There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and it was not until the main street that a large number of officers and soldiers could be seen, and the periphery was on guard, while the people inside were absorbing the essence.

Hu Guiyang walked around the alley and came to the prefect's yamen, where he was stopped by officers and soldiers dozens of steps away, and after asking for his name and reading the driving sticker, he was allowed to wait in place.

It didn't take long for a person to come out of the yamen, not Yuan Mao, but the prefect Wu Yuan, carrying the hem of his official robe, trotting all the way, as if wading across the river.

Hu Guiyang arched his hand and said in surprise: "How dare you come to greet the prefect of the labor prefect?" ”

Wu Yuan smiled bitterly, "I'm not a prefect now, I'm a doorman, just a doorman." ”

This "doorman" is not simple, wearing a black veil on his head, wearing official robes and official boots, and his face is embarrassed, without the humility and prudence of a small official.

Although Hu Guiyang often covers his mouth, he tries to do as little as possible to expose his scars in person, "I came to ask to see the factory company, and I ...... trouble"

"Captain Hu, please wait inside, and then go to see you when the factory is free."

In the gatehouse, Wu Yuan personally poured tea and water, looking in a hurry, Hu Guiyang didn't dare to sit down, and felt a little sympathy for the prefect.

Wu Yuan was busy for a while, pressed Hu Guiyang's shoulder, and forced him to sit down, as if he had been a confidant and friend of his classmates for many years.

His hand strength was not small, Hu Guiyang had to half-push and half-sit on the spot, took a sip of tea, and found that Wu Yuan was still standing beside him, so he smiled and said: "The prefect doesn't have to be polite, just say what you have to say." ”

"Don't mention the 'prefect' again, don't talk about Wusha, it's hard to say whether my head can be saved. Alas, if I had listened to Captain Hu's words earlier, I would not have ended up in the situation I am in today. ”

"Hmm." Hu Guiyang continued to drink tea, but the other party didn't pick it out, so he pretended to be confused.

"Captain Hu, I'm really desperate, you can help me plead in front of the factory."

Wu Yuan's body was short, and he was about to kneel, Hu Guiyang hurriedly put down the teacup, stretched out his hand to support it, and said with a smile: "I am a little lieutenant, and I am worshiped by the prefect, I am afraid that I will lose my life." Besides, Lord Wu is not so afraid, you are an official of the imperial court, and no matter what the factory prince does, he can't cut off your head. ”

"I made a big mistake this time, throwing black yarn is tantamount to losing my head......"

Hu Guiyang laughed a few times, "If you can, please ask Lord Wu to solve a few doubts in my heart first." ”

"Yes, you know."

"You're absorbing the essence of the Dan Cave in the northern village, so you annoy the factory father, right?"

"The main thing is to indulge the sin of the soldiers and the people...... I was completely confused and just thought about ...... In short, it was my fault, a big mistake. ”

"But after the factory arrived, the officers and soldiers were also assigned to various Dan acupoints and took turns to absorb the essence."

"It's different, it's completely different, I'm indulgent, the factory is dispatched, no one is allowed to stay near the Danxue for more than six hours, and when it's the turn, the time will be shortened in turn, so that everyone won't indulge in it."

"Oh."

"Captain Hu, you are a confidant of the factory public......"

"Haha, did the confidant go into the city last night and haven't seen the factory until now?"

Wu Yuan was disappointed, regretted talking too much just now, and said curtly: "No matter what, Captain Hu is a member of the factory. ”

"Love won't count, but I do know the factory better."

Wu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he heard the words in the words, "Please Captain Hu for guidance, great kindness, never forget, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." ”

"Don't say such things, I'm not a corrupt official."

"Yes, yes, I am not a corrupt official, and I have never taken a penny from the people of Yunyang Mansion."

Hu Guiyang really wanted to ask who sent Bee Niang into the house, but tried to hold back, "I can't point the way, but I can show the way." ”

"That's enough, Captain Hu is often in the West Factory, and he can see everything clearly, no more than an outgoing official like us, his eyes are dark."

"Captain Shi, do you remember?"

"Of course, I remember that he was also punished and volunteered to defend the city."

"Learn from him."

"What? Is the captain of Xueshi going to defend the city? ”

"If you have a better understanding of the factory father, Shi Xiaowei far surpasses me, and he can be summoned immediately if he makes a big mistake, which is the proof, so his approach is the best choice, and he will definitely be able to get the understanding of the factory company. There is such an example, but Lord Wu came to me, and he was really willing to seek the near and far. ”

Hu Guiyang's words sounded like he was shirking, and he might be unhappy if he was someone else, but Wu Yuan was a smart person, and he was able to understand it at all, and he smiled and said, "...... in the future."

"Don't talk about things so far away, help me ask when I can see the factory father."

Wu Yuan retreated with a smile, going in and out several times, each time he said that he was fast, but he was never convinced of the news, and Hu Guiyang suspected that he didn't dare to ask at all.

It was almost noon, Hu Guiyang drank a stomach of water, and was so hungry that he ate a lot of tea, Wu Yuan finally came in to invite him, and on the way to the middle courtyard, Wu Yuan asked in a low voice: "Can I mention Captain Hu in front of Captain Shi?" ”

"Yes, but don't say nice things about me."

Wu Wu smiled, he had already noticed that the two captains were working in the West Factory, but there was something incompatible.

"By the way, if you see Captain Shi, tell me a word."

"Captain Hu, please speak."

"I hit him on the head, and I hope he will repay him with a hammer."

Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the purpose of this sentence.

"Do you want me to say it again?"

"No, I remember." Wu Yuan didn't want to ask more, he would rather not know anything about the affairs of the West Factory.

Wang Zhi was an arrogant eunuch who dared to let the prefect be a doorman, but he also abided by the rules and did not occupy the main hall of the yamen, but worked in a side hall.

When Hu Guiyang came in, he was supervising two scribes who were working hard to write books.

Wu Yuan didn't dare to squeak, and sent people in and quit immediately.

Hu Guiyang stood at the door, looking here and there, neither bowing down nor greeting.

Wang Zhizhi ordered the scribe to retreat with the official document, and turned to look at Hu Guiyang, "People die every day, why aren't you among them?" ”

Hu Guiyang then gave up his hand and said with a smile: "I almost died several times, and when I thought that I hadn't completed the trust of the factory, I gritted my teeth and came back to life." ”

"Phew."

Hu Guiyang was not polite, and Wang Zhi was not polite, so he sat down with a grin, "I heard that you killed a million felons?" ”

"Luckily succeeded."

"What about the evidence?"

"Didn't bring it back."

"Then you're slamming a fart? He Million has always been elusive, and anyone like you can claim to have killed him. ”

Hu Guiyang looked surprised, "I didn't shout, the factory didn't ask, I would never mention it." ”

Wang Zhi sneered, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you can get out of the house if it's okay, even if you've seen me." ”

"Can't get out, I really have a little thing."

Wang was silent, and at his age, pretending to be serious was somewhat funny, but as long as he was a factory man, no one dared to say it.

Hu Guiyang didn't dare, but he dared to tell the truth, "Now there are masters in and out of the city, aren't the factory men envious?" ”

"Ha, I am the eunuch of the Xichang ordered by the emperor himself, and I will envy a group of small soldiers and ordinary people? You can ask for it. ”

"Otherwise, when I was in the capital in the past, the factory man liked to pay private visits in civilian clothes, and he only brought three or two entourages with him, but when he arrived in a small place like Yunyang City, the factory man could only sit in the yamen, which was really ......" Hu Guiyang shook his head with a smile.

"If you have something to say, don't come to this set."

"It's too cautious."

"You say I'm cowardly?" Wang stood up straight, which was the last thing he liked to hear.

"Who isn't timid in the face of so many masters?"

"I ...... If I hadn't had a heavy responsibility, I would have sucked all over the Dan acupoints and become the number one master in the world. Say I'm cowardly, you find a master to come over and see if he dies or I die. ”

Hu Guiyang knew in his heart that Wang Zhi commanded the soldiers to absorb the essence of the Dan Acupoint, but he didn't touch it, there must be a reason.

"There are many masters around the factory, and whoever comes will be sent to death. But ......" Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "can the factory trust these masters in the house?" ”

"Each one is more trustworthy than you."

"That's right, but I have one advantage that they can't match. These masters all rely on the Dan Acupoint, although the factory master controls the time they have access to the Dan Acupoint, but the greed has risen, and it will only get heavier and heavier, and will not gradually disappear. ”

Wang Zhi didn't squeak, his expression was cold, but he didn't open his mouth to scold.

"Farewell, the factory knows where I live, and if necessary, I will be on call."

When Hu Guiyang left, he saw Yuan Mao at the gate, and they exchanged hands, but they didn't speak, Hu Guiyang knew in his heart that he could see Wang Zhi this time, and it had nothing to do with Wu Yuan, it was all won by Yuan Mao.

When he returned to his residence, there was still half a pot of Xiaocao's cooking, so Hu Guiyang immediately put a bowl of it, ate it with pickles, and praised: "Your cooking skills are really good." ”

Xiaocao didn't practice, "Then eat more." When you go out with me tonight, you must find the sledgehammer. ”

Hu Guiyang served another bowl and said while eating: "No, if there is no accident, the big hammer will soon be able to take the initiative to deliver it to the door." ”

Wang Zhi wanted to find out Hu Guiyang's martial arts, so he could only ask Shi Guida's Jianghu people for help, if Shi Guida understood the meaning of "repaying with a hammer", he would send a sledgehammer to test it.

This is Hu Guiyang's plan.
