Different from Nansi's previous practice, Jiang Yun was not in a hurry to arrest people, he came early and left late every day, sitting in the study to browse boring documents, which was not enough, and he read a large number of books from Nansi's yamen and other rooms, and the earliest time could be traced back to decades ago.

If this continues, the jade hidden in the pile of old papers will be discovered sooner or later.

Hu Guiyang wanted to move it elsewhere, but couldn't find the opportunity, he was a "lazy man", and he couldn't come earlier and leave later than the adults.

When staying in the study together, Hu Guiyang would never dare to steal beams and change pillars under Jiang Yun's nose.

Jiang Yun seemed to have an extra pair of eyes, even if he kept looking down at the words, every time he looked up, he still looked at Hu Guiyang's position at a glance.

"I've always wanted to see the records that Nanji treasured, so that they can make up for each other with the records of the Extraordinary Dao."

"You got your wish, many of the documents you see now, even the current Lord Zhenfu has no right to access them." Hu Guiyang leaned against the door, waiting for lunch to start, which was the biggest motivation for him to report here every day.

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Let me ask you in private, why is this Lord Liang in charge of Nansi?" ”

"A well-informed person like you doesn't even know the details of Liang Zhenfu?"

"Some people don't deserve special attention."

Jiang Yun knew everything about Baihu Zuo, but he thought that it was not worth paying attention to pacifying Liang Xiu, Hu Guiyang couldn't help laughing, "Ha, you are a ...... Very interesting. It is said that Liang Xiu is a relative of Dongchang Shangming, and he became in charge of the South Division with this. ”

"No wonder. Alas, what a waste of years of accumulation in Nanji. Looking at the documents in recent years, Nansi has hardly done anything, and he will go wherever it is lively, but this is not the responsibility of Nansi, Nansi has become a vassal of Dongchang. ”

"Zuo Baihu was transferred from Dongchang, you should know."

"Zuo Baihu is a talent, but he hasn't figured out Nansi's responsibilities."

"What exactly is Nanji's duty?"

"Your stepfather knows best, but he does the opposite."

"Nansi is looking for ghosts and gods, but the righteous father wants to prove that he is all pretending to be gods and ghosts."

"That's right, but Nanji isn't looking for ordinary ghosts. Famous mountains and rivers, temples and palaces are all bright lines, and the government sees them in their eyes and hands in their hands. Therefore, Nansi can't join in the fun, and if you join in the fun, you will go astray. ”

"You should be the governor of Nansi."

"It's useless for anyone to be the one, Nansi is not going astray for a day or two, the top is good, the bottom will be very bad, and Liang Zhenfu probably has no choice." Jiang Yun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk about Nansi more, and his eyes lit up, "It's your stepfather, Zhao Ying, who left many useful clues." ”

"Oh?"

"Clues are not many, but truth, even if it is a few words, is much more useful than a false tirade. Zhao Yingzhi's uniqueness lies in seeking truth, even if it is just a very simple sentence, there is a source, such as Liang Tiegong died of spontaneous combustion, he wrote down the name and identity of each narrator in detail, although more than ten years have passed, if someone wants to re-investigate the case, there is still a context to be found. ”

"You want to recheck?"

Jiang Yun shook his head, "Liang Tiegong is He Million, who has already been killed by you in Yunyang Mansion." Zhao Ying also has the advantage that if you don't understand it, you can write and understand it, and you will never make any conclusions. ”

"Hearing you say this, I miss my father-in-law even more, but it's a pity that I haven't learned my father's skills."

"Each has its own strengths." Jiang Yun smiled, took out a piece of paper, and gently held it in his hand, "Listen to this, it was written by Zhao Ying,' ...... Seventeen people, including Zhang Aling and Rao Xing, the rebel soldiers of Datengxia, confessed: The fox born and his mother all have demon names, and the birth time is not smooth, and the mother dies; Whoever raises a ghost, whose mother is a ghost, who is jealous of the born, and whosoever has a woman who provides milk for his son, he shall be killed when he is weaned......'"

This article was written relatively early, and the Broken Teng Gorge has not yet been named, and it is still called the Great Teng Gorge.

"It turns out that this is what it is like for foxes to raise ghosts, and I have never heard my father-in-law say it." Hu Guiyang suddenly realized, feeling a little sad in his heart, according to this, his biological mother had died a long time ago.

"But Zhao Ying doesn't believe in evil, and it took months to really find five living nurses."

"That 'killing' is nonsense, and the father-in-law did such a thing."

"Listen to this paragraph again, 'Zhao Yuan, the nurse mother of Fangxian Damuchang, confessed that the theory of fox giving birth to ghosts was prevalent at that time, and the children of the mother's death were abandoned by their families, or sold to warlocks and sent to Wentianwang. King Wen forced the women to breastfeed, and those who did not obey were killed, under the pretext of the ghost mother. This was seen by Zhao Yuan herself, and when she heard that the king of heaven was not dead, she never dared to talk about it, and the women in the village were the same. ’”

"The father-in-law is really persistent, is there anything else?"

Jiang Yun put down the paper, "It's almost, what do you think?" ”

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "The fox is obviously made up by King Wentian, in order to scare off irrelevant people and so on, and not let outsiders contact the child, but why is this?" ”

"Zhao Ying didn't write it, he didn't make useless guesses, but he obviously felt that this matter was strange, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to investigate around."

"You can ask Gu Zhongxian, at that time, he was a military advisor next to King Wentian."

"Makes sense, are you free in the afternoon?"

Hu Guiyang thought about it, the leftovers at home should be enough for a big cake to eat, "Yes." ”

"Then let's go visit the Valley Immortal."

After being stuck in the study for a few days, Hu Guiyang also wanted to go out for a walk, "Okay, I haven't asked, how did Gu Zhongxian fall into your hands?" ”

"He lost his memory for a while, begging and wandering around the south of the Yangtze River, and was coincidentally seen by my friend and brought to me. That was at the beginning of this year, and his memory has now recovered, but he is not in good health, and he went to Beijing with me, where he lives not far from here. ”

"You must have a lot of friends."

"Everyone wants to make friends, I just have to say something, and naturally friends will come to the door."

"When a friend comes to the door, you will receive him with white money."

"Haha, 'Bai Mengwei' is not in vain."

"I'm really curious, your expenses must be not small, where does the money come from? Can you let me learn? ”

"Why learn from me? Zhao Ying is your best master. ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head with a smile.

The servants came in to deliver food, and after eating, Hu Guiyang picked up the topic, "My father-in-law's money is all rewarded by the court, he doesn't know how to make money, and my stepmother often complains about him." ”

"A reward from the court? People who specialize in searching for ghosts and gods for the emperor may not be able to afford a mansion like the Zhao family, how can a hundred households who stab deceptions everywhere get a heavy reward? Zhao Ying has another way to make money, you just don't know. ”

"You know?"

"Of course, our approach is pretty much the same. Zhao Ying made a lot of friends with Jianghu people during her lifetime, right? ”

"Of course, my father-in-law said that some deceptions are extremely ingenious, and if you don't have the guidance of the Jianghu people, you can't see through it, not to mention that the Jianghu people are often well-informed, and the more friends you have, the better. It's a pity that I was too lazy, not only did I not make more friends, but I also cut off the previous contact. ”

"The way to make a fortune is in it, Zhao Ying only catches those who confuse the public with gossip, and the other heroes in the rivers and lakes are all friends and news channels, and those who are written in the documents by him can avoid a temporary disaster."

Hu Guiyang finally understood, "And my father-in-law works in Jinyiwei, and when he gets the news, he can also pass the news to the heroes of the rivers and lakes." ”

"Exactly."

"No wonder, when I was a child, there were always people who gave gifts in the middle of the night, and the gifts were left behind, but the people were gone. My father-in-law hid it so strictly, no, I was too stupid to notice the abnormality, the eldest brother, the fifth brother, and the current thirty-nine actually know this very well......" Hu Guiyang nodded, "Originally, I thought that I was living a hard life because I was unlucky, but now I understand that there is a reason for this, and I can't blame anyone." ”

"Zhao Ying is definitely not deliberately concealing, this kind of thing can be done or not, if you see it, you will naturally do it, if you don't understand it, it's useless to say it. For example, I made it clear to you today that you should be a lazy person or a lazy person. ”

"That's right, I don't regret it at all, but I feel more calm." Hu Guiyang laughed and said, "You are in Nanjing, how much news can you provide to the heroes of the rivers and lakes?" ”

"There are not as many members of the Extraordinary Dao as the Five Elements Sect, but they are widely distributed, especially in the major yamen, there are our people, and we all support each other, not alone."

"Admire." Hu Guiyang arched his hand and said, "Give me ten friends, I can't arrange them, there are nearly a thousand people, plus other friends, you have to maintain a few thousand!" Can you remember all the names? ”

"Occasionally, there are forgetting, and I need to be reminded of it." Jiang Yun said with a smile, he was really proud of his skills.

"It's good that my father-in-law is still here, you two must have something to say."

"We've met, and if we were to divide our friends, we'd be first-class friends."

"But I've never heard of your name."

"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, I have only met your father-in-law three times, all in Nanjing." Jiang Yun sighed lightly, "The Si people have passed away, the Si people have passed away." ”

Hu Guiyang had to admit that his impression of Jiang Yun was getting better and better, "If you are lying to me, then I will admire you even more." ”

"Haha. Let's go? ”

"Okay, let's see what the fairy in the valley has changed."

The two of them walked out of the gate, walked three streets, and entered the cross courtyard of a large mansion from the small door.

There were no guards inside and outside the courtyard, but Gu Zhongxian stayed here honestly and never tried to escape.

He has aged a lot, maybe this is his true face, the previous immortal wind Dao bone was obtained from cultivation, and now his cultivation is wasted, revealing his true face.

He was wearing a bloated cotton coat, sitting on a Taishi chair, and he didn't get up when he saw the guests entering the room, so he reacted for a long time, "Ah, Hu Guiyang, you are finally willing to come to see me." ”

"We're not friends, and I don't want to see you when I'm fine." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, this meeting was still a "confrontation", and he had to deal with it carefully in order to make Jiang Yun believe that Shenyu was really not on him.

"One step to become a god, one step to the earth, thanks to your gift, the result of my step is to fall into the world."

"If you don't want to help, don't thank me." Hu Guiyang walked closer, glanced at Jiang Yun, who was standing next to him and didn't speak, and asked Gu Zhongxian, "Do you remember King Wentian?" ”

"Hmm."

"Why did you make up the statement 'foxes and ghosts' in the first place?"

"Who said it was made up?"

"If it's true, where is the fox? Where's the ghost? ”

Gu Zhongxian's wrinkled face showed a vague smile, "Why do you mention it for such a long time?" ”

"Curious, who doesn't want to know where they came from?"

"This is a half-plan, when you children grow up, they should be yin and yang and produce the next generation, and they are the real 'fox and ghost raising'. But the Heavenly Ship soon found that the plan was not feasible, so I changed you to a sacrifice. Zhao Ying doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she still marries all the girls and doesn't allow you to marry each other. ”

Hu Guiyang smiled.

"You don't have children with He Sanchen, do you?" Gu Zhongxian asked.

Hu Guiyang shook his head, in fact, Third Sister He never said, "What can a real fox and a ghost raise?" ”

"What else? There is a little mistake in this plan of the Heavenly Machine Ship, the dosage is wrong, if you have children, you will either die or be disabled, and there will be no good results. ”
