Wei Ying stopped Hu Guiyang at the door of the side hall, and said with a smile: "The factory sent me over to be on duty, Captain Hu should go home and have a good rest." ”

"The factory is really considerate of his subordinates, and he is working hard."

"It's not hard, it's my responsibility, the factory is worried that if it goes on like this, the West Factory will be empty." Although Wei Ying was accusatory, she still had a smile on her face.

This is also a person who loves to laugh, contrary to Hu Guiyang's unfashionable smile, Wei Baihu's smile is kind and generous, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, as if he really doesn't care about anything - only people who really know this Baihu will be horrified when they see his smile.

Hu Guiyang couldn't see the meaning behind the smile, and said proudly: "How can it be empty? Let everyone have a good rest for a few days, and more people will be willing to come to our West Factory in the future. ”

Wei Ying laughed twice, and suddenly changed the topic, "What's the matter with the injury on Captain Hu's face?" ”

"It's not easy to be an alien, it arose yesterday, and it became like this after practicing a few sets of boxing techniques." Hu Guiyang did not mention Tong Feng.

Wei Ying nodded, "The factory asked me to ask, why only four of the five strangers came?" ”

"The factory is well-informed, and there is another one who is more hesitant, and I am trying to persuade him to enter the city."

"Very good, please go back and rest and concentrate on appeasing the strangers, so that they can believe that the court has no malicious intentions."

"Uh, I'm a little confused, is the court really innocent, or is it expedient? I can lie, really. ”

Wei Ying laughed, stepped forward and patted Hu Guiyang's shoulder, and then said solemnly: "Yunyang strangers are all dragons and phoenixes among people, the imperial court cherishes talents, and it is not possible to get them, how can it really be malicious?" Only one thing is that they have to be willing to be used by the imperial court. ”

"Like Tong Feng?"

Wei Ying nodded, "Tong Feng didn't go to you yesterday, right?" He's always been curious about other Inhumans. ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I didn't even come to congratulate my friends, let alone Tong Feng." ”

"That's good."

"Something's wrong?" Hu Guiyang asked tentatively, he has been following his father-in-law to do things for Jinyiwei, and he knows the style of the factory guards very well, these yamen spies are numerous, and they can often dig out the details of some trivial things, and then use them to force the victim, so that the other party mistakenly thinks that the factory guards know everything, and they all confess in panic.

The West Factory monitored the entry of strangers into Zhao's house, and may have seen someone running out, but they may not know that it is Tong Feng.

Sure enough, Wei Ying didn't question any further, but showed a stunned look, "Something's wrong?" Of course not, I just asked casually, how could Captain Hu have such an idea? ”

"Hehe, I also said it casually, say goodbye, don't bother." Hu Guiyang walked a few steps, turned around and came back, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about business, the Zhao family is now an empty house, and it is a bit shabby to entertain guests, so I need money and people." ”

"Understand, if you go back, the money and people will be sent to the Zhao family in the afternoon."

"You can have fewer people, you can not send them, you have to have more money, at least ......"

"Needless to say, it will definitely satisfy you strangers."

"If the adults in Xichang are as good at talking as Wei Baihu, I will come every day in the future."

"Captain Hu has a heavy responsibility, so I don't need to come to the yamen often, but I will visit the door often, don't be annoyed by Captain Hu."

"Welcome, good wine and meat are waiting for you at any time."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and both said "hypocrisy" in their hearts.

When Hu Guiyang left the West Factory, many tolerances and officials in the yamen sighed secretly, but on the surface, they all looked relieved, as if they were glad that they were finally able to serve the factory wholeheartedly.

Things went well, Hu Guiyang did not go back to Zhao's house immediately, but hired a mule cart and went to the gunpowder factory in the southwest city to show his face and reassure people.

I heard that Captain Hu disappeared again, Lai Wangxi and others have not had a good time for many years, and they were all overjoyed to see him come in person, there were few people on duty in the first month, only four, and they dragged Hu Guiyang to drink a meal before they were willing to let him go.

Hu Guiyang still hired a car, first went back to Shijia Hutong's home, and packed a few clothes to take away.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun had been waiting here for a long time, smiling and inviting credit, "Those people are more eccentric than the other, especially the big one, who can scare people to death, and our brothers risk their lives to send letters......

Hu Guiyang patted his waist, "I spent the last penny of hiring a car, and now I don't have a penny, if you can find the money here, you can take as much as you want." ”

The two of them had already searched carefully, and the Hu Mansion was a magical place, and a sum of money would often suddenly appear and disappear suddenly, making them unpredictable.

"Come with me to Zhao's house, anyway, there is a need for manpower there, not more of you two?"

"The Zhao family in the alley of Guanyin Temple?" "The Zhao family where Brother Gui Yang lived in the past?" The two asked questions one after another.

"Yes."

Jiang and Zheng glanced at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, "We're used to being casual, so we won't make trouble, Brother Gui Yang can call us at any time if there is anything." ”

The name of the Zhao family's "murderous house" is too loud, and these two people are afraid, and they would rather not make money than dare to go.

Hu Guiyang didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Then you show me the house, first change the lock on the door, it must be strong, and the two of you can't open it and pry it can't move." ”

"It's very difficult, I'm afraid there is no such lock in the capital."

"Go find it for me, and then go to Zhao's house to get the silver."

As soon as they heard that they had received the money, the two immediately agreed.

"One more thing, the spring courtyard in the city has not been doing well recently......"

"No, it's so deserted, so lonely that Ren Liu'er would rather run away from home." Jiang Erpi stared at Hu Guiyang, as if he was looking forward to something.

Hu Guiyang raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, "I didn't take it away, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside." ”

"Oh, that's a lot of strength...... I didn't say it had anything to do with you, just that business is really bad right now. ”

"Well, you two don't mess around here, let's go to Wuque Hutong."

"Still going?" The two shook their heads at the same time, the trouble caused by the last trip to Wuque Hutong had just stopped, and they were afraid to go there again.

"Okay, I'll find someone else, you can show me the house, change the locks, and then go to the Zhao family to get the money."

Hu Guiyang was about to leave, but the two stepped forward to stop him, Zheng Sanhun said: "Don't look for someone else, it's just our brothers, Wuque Hutong is not a Longtan tiger's den, can something happen every day?" We'll definitely be asking the backers to find out. ”

"No, I don't need you two to ask about anything, just show the way, and when I really need to ask something in the future, I don't need to find someone else."

"Oh, Brother Gui Yang, this is called raising soldiers for a thousand days, and raising us first......" Jiang Erpi was overjoyed, this was exactly the life he dreamed of.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days? I don't have to pay for it, you two support yourself by yourself, what did you do before, what did you do in Wuque Hutong, and I will pay when I really have a job for you. ”

The heads of the two drooped, "Your home is in the city, and Wuque Hutong is outside the city, but you can't run back and forth every day." ”

"Change a good lock, and you won't be needed here." Hu Guiyang didn't say anything more, put aside the two of them, and went out.

When he returned to Zhao's house, it was getting dark, and Wei Ying really kept his promise, sending a large number of daily necessities and money, as well as ten servants.

The servants were ordered to come, and they had been waiting at the gate for a long time, not because they were in a hurry to see Captain Hu, but they did not dare to go deep into the house, let alone contact the people in the backyard, they had already seen the giant Xiao killing the bear, although it was only a glimpse, but they were also frightened, and then they thought of all kinds of rumors about the murderous house, all of them lost their souls, and before it was dark, they were already weak and dizzy, and there were signs of evil.

Looking at these servants who couldn't even walk, Hu Guiyang shook his head, this is still daytime, and after nightfall, they don't know what they will be afraid of.

"Fuck off." Hu Guiyang reprimanded.

"Huh?" The servants were eager to go, but they were ordered to disobey.

Hu Guiyang showed an angry expression, "You don't need to hide it from me, you are all sent by Xichang to monitor my every move, right?" Go back and tell Wei Ying that I have seen through his tricks, and I will not leave any people in the West Factory, and if there are any others, they will be beaten away. ”

Hu Guiyang really raised his fist, and the servants fled the gate in a swarm, discussing it on the way, and putting all the responsibility on Captain Hu.

The cart was still parked in the yard, the contents of the cart had been moved, and not much had been taken, and three other horses, tied to the wheels, stood quietly.

Hu Guiyang cheered, "Finally, I don't need to hire a car." ”

No one else came out, only Zhao Aqi came to the front yard, "Senior brother is back." ”

"Well, it went very well, I said it earlier, that guy didn't dare to mess with me again last night."

Zhao Aqi smiled, "Senior brother thinks it's okay." We took some of the futon and everything else was there. ”

"I sent it for you, and everyone has a table, chair, and bed."

"Xiao Kill Xiong said that there was no suitable bed for him, Luo said that her wife would not move things, and she didn't even ask for bedding, and Lin Dianran said that he liked simplicity."

"Hey, you're talking."

"But we haven't eaten at the end of the day."

A horse next to it snorted, as if to remind humans that they were hungry too.

Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "It's really troublesome to run a family, I knew it was like this, I should have let those people do some work before leaving." Didn't Roche care when he was at her husband's house? ”

"She said this wasn't her home."

Hu Guiyang continued to scratch his head, "Trouble, trouble, you wait for me for a while." ”

He could only go to Shi Guida for help.

Shi's house is at the mouth of the alley, which used to be the house of the fifth brother, but now it belongs to him, and the fifth brother's family got a sum of money and moved to the countryside.

Shi Guida had already married, and the door was very strict, and the servant went in to report, and only came out after a while, claiming that the master could not get out, and asked Captain Hu what was the matter.

Hu Guiyang was thick-skinned, and he didn't care about this obvious cold reception, and said with a smile: "The servants of the Zhao Mansion have all been driven away by me, and no one cooks, please ask Shi Baihu to look at the face of his colleagues in the West Factory, and lend me a meal, or calculate the price according to the silver, or return it in the future." ”

The servant went in again, and this time came out quickly, "Please go back and wait for Captain Hu, the food will be delivered." ”

"Thank you." Hu Guiyang took his leave, walked in the alley and muttered to himself: "Tomorrow no matter what, I will recruit a few bold servants." ”

Indeed, the meal came quickly, and was rich enough, that the servants put it down and left, not even for a silver prize.

Only Zhao Aqi and Da Cake were willing to eat at the same table with Hu Guiyang, and the others ate their own food.

After eating, Zhao Aqi said, "Senior brother, you have to be careful. ”

"Watch out for whom? With you living here, the man will not dare to come again. ”

"Everyone is willing to go into the city with you, for the sake of Jindan, everyone is safe, because no one is sure to swallow Jindan alone, but after getting along for a long time, they will naturally gang up, once anyone feels that they have an advantage, it is difficult to ensure that there is no dissent."

"Hey, even you're so smart." Hu Guiyang smiled, got up and stretched, "It's okay, I have a way, but let me rest for a while, I'm too tired lately." ”

Hu Guiyang touched the dog's head, picked up the jade pendant and glanced at it, not noticing the greed in Zhao Aqi's eyes.
