Yuan Mao preferred that he didn't ask anything, but it was too late to regret it, and his face couldn't be recovered.

Hu Guiyang smiled: "Are you scared? ”

Yuan Mao laughed dryly, "When I do things with you, it seems that there is no time when I am not afraid." It's really strange that I forgot my previous experience and took the initiative to ask to enter Nansi's room - no wonder Liang Zhenfu looked at me a little strangely at that time. ”

"Haha, don't worry, this matter will not involve others, let alone you."

"You won't ......" Yuan Mao didn't even know what he wanted to ask.

"No, it won't." Hu Guiyang said with certainty.

"Really?"

Hu Guiyang laughed, "No." ”

Yuan Mao laughed twice, "Anyway, even if I stay out of the matter, people will think I'm your helper - you say, what do you need me to do?" ”

"It's enough to ask the Five Elements Sect for news."

"I can also inquire about the situation in the palace......

"Don't." Hu Guiyang showed a rare seriousness, "Just let it be." ”

"Okay." Yuan Mao was also afraid of falling too deep, "Beware of the factory father, although he is young, he is very smart, there are a few old foxes around him, Sasuke, it is not easy to deceive him." ”

"Guess why he let me go?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile.

During the competition, Yuan Mao was not at the scene, and he was as surprised as others at the results that came out, "Everyone outside said that you had a tie with Tong Feng, and the factory cherished your talents, so let you go." ”

"That's just one of the reasons, I've also carried the Heavenly Machine Pill, and it's been many times."

"Oh, I see, you want to observe Xiyuan's therapy, and Wang Zhi wants to observe you?"

"So you don't have to do anything, it's my game with the palace."

Yuan Mao felt much more at ease, "Actually, you can talk about it, looking for a safe treatment together, it seems that there is no need to be suspicious of each other." ”

"Hehe, this is a game, what's the fun after talking about it?"

Yuan Mao couldn't understand Hu Guiyang, but he believed that he must have a reason, so he had to give up his hand and said: "Okay, this is a secret between us, I will never divulge half a word, let alone interfere at will, I hope that everyone can be happy in the end." ”

Hu Guiyang sent Yuan Mao away, rode to the southwest city, and formally met with the craftsmen, he was a confused supervisor, did not check the accounts, did not look at the inventory, did not listen to the report, played a few words haha, assigned all the responsibilities to Lai Wangxi and others, and only stayed for a while before getting up and going home.

"Please, I'll invite you to drink in a few days."

Hu Guiyang led the horse away, Lai Wangxi sent it to the street, and when there was no one left and right, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, stuffed it into Hu Guiyang's hand, and said with a smile: "It's a little meaning, it's not a respect." ”

Hu Guiyang pinched it, knew that it was some jewelry, and said with a smile: "Lai, you have already given a kickback, and you forgot it the next day?" ”

"Yesterday, those were all filial piety to Hujian Factory, this is my own intention, and I didn't use public funds."

"Haha, I don't see that you're quite good at it."

"Hu Jian Factory turned the tide and allowed the production of guns to continue, which really helped a lot, and let me be in charge of the property, which can be said to have saved my life, which is the filial piety that Hu Jian Factory deserves."

Hu Guiyang patted Lai Wangxi on the shoulder, "Take some when you need to, but don't forget to get down to business, if you succeed, the credit is not something that can be bought with a little wealth." ”

"Hu Jian Factory rest assured, can I not understand this truth? I'm this age, and whether I've lived the rest of my life well or badly depends on this credit. Lai Wangxi swore that he must create a new gun that can work with the new medicine.

Hu Guiyang accepted the jewelry and took his leave.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he sighed, and the locked courtyard door was opened again, and the Hu family was like an ownerless house, where anyone could enter and exit at will, without asking for the owner's consent.

The intruder was Fan Dajian, he didn't know how to pick the lock, he smashed it directly, and the bad lock was placed on the table, he sat on the chair and teased the flatbread, heard footsteps, looked up and smiled: "This is the dog you picked before?" It's good at looking after the house, and it doesn't care when it enters the house, but I don't allow me to touch the box. ”

The two boxes containing the silver were still in their place, and Hu Guiyang sat on another chair, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, drank it with a bang, and said, "Pay me for the lock." ”

"Even the door will pay you a piece, if you want me to say that your door does not have to be locked, from now on we are neighbors, I will show you."

"Hey, how do you have a tone with those two scoundrels of the Mixed Spring Courtyard?"

"Hehe, this is the same thing that heroes see. I didn't come to your house to make small talk, I've already inquired and understood, is it fast enough? ”

"Fast enough, which temple hides Inhumans?"

"Inhuman?"

"Didn't you inquire?"

"Oh, you said about this, there are so many palaces and temples in the capital, which one can ask all at once? I haven't started yet, it's another thing: why is the business of the Spring Courtyard cold? ”

Hu Guiyang's interest disappeared all of a sudden, and he hummed coldly.

It is a matter of fortune, but Fan Dajian is full of interest, "Erlang Temple is a pile of fat powder, I asked the people in the temple, they said that the business of the Spring Courtyard in several nearby alleys is indeed plummeting, and it has nothing to do with the cold weather, but because of the new Wuque Hutong outside the city, the girls there are young and beautiful, and can speak well, several of them are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they attracted all the guests not long after the opening." ”

"And that kind of thing?"

"That's right, those girls outside the city also came to Erlang Temple to offer incense, you are right, the incense in the temple has always been very prosperous, and it is not affected at all." Fan Dajian was smiling, and he already regarded Erlang Temple as his own territory.

Hu Guiyang laughed, "No, private prostitution is strictly prohibited in this dynasty, these are the alleys of the Spring Courtyard, a few to the north of Erlang Temple, and a few more in the east city, all of which live in Lehu people, where did the new alleys come from outside the city?" Won't the government stop it? ”

"That's because people have the ability, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, doesn't it just look at who has a deep background, a hard backer, and a thick foundation? I have an idea that I can make a lot of money, but I need to figure out the details of Wuque Hutong. What do you think? Go for a trip, I'll pay for it, whatever you want. ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I don't have that energy, I want to sleep, you can go by yourself." ”

"I'm a Taoist priest, how can I go to that kind of place?"

"Then go find someone else, I'm not interested."

"Hey, you person, a few hundred taels of silver can make you happy, and now that there is more silver to earn, you are not interested, you really don't want to hear my plan?"

"I don't want to, when I leave, go diagonally across and call me a piece of noodles, a pound of meat and a pot of wine."

Fan Dajian was helpless, "I've looked for you, don't say I didn't give you a chance in the future." ”

"Thank you."

Fan Dajian shook his head and said goodbye.

The noodles and wine were quickly delivered, Hu Guiyang doubled the money, settled all the accounts last time, and gave a lot of rewards, the man was elated, "I know that Captain Hu is not a person who pays the bills, and the shopkeeper still doesn't believe it." When you were taken away the other day, I said you must be fine......"

After eating, it was dark, Hu Guiyang was too lazy to latch, so he let the courtyard door be hidden, and went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water to scald his feet.

He hoped that something would happen, but the night was so calm that the loaves did not even scream.

Once the peace came, he refused to leave, Hu Guiyang did not go to any yamen to report, and no one came to call him, the two forgot about each other, everyone was busy, even Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun did not show up, and they probably had found something to do.

Hu Guiyang stayed at home every day, not taking a step, and the noodle restaurant guys delivered meals on time, helped clean up the house, and earned a few more pennies.

Flatbread is an idle dog, the door is obviously unlocked, it still burrows in and out of the hole in the wall, and only comes back when it is tired of playing outside.

On the afternoon of the third day, Hu Guiyang had a little hope, Ren Liu'er said that a buyer would be found within three days, and there should be news today.

She didn't come, and neither did the Ren family.

Hu Guiyang was a little disappointed, called the flatbread that had just come home, and fed it a few pieces of leftover meat, "How did you do it?" When they first came home, everyone came to the door, and suddenly they didn't come again, did they discuss it? ”

The flatbread swallowed the meat and snorted, more than that.

"No, that's all, you run out every day, there must be something to eat."

The flatbread lay on his feet, wagging his tail, and seemed a little proud.

Hu Guiyang was about to go to bed, "Isn't this the day I've been longing for?" It doesn't seem too interesting. ”

The next morning, Yuan Mao came, and Hu Guiyang was warmer than usual for him, thinking that every word he said was quite interesting.

"Shen Qianyuan is crazy, friends of the Five Elements Sect say so, since he came back from Yunyang, he has been preaching the power of the gods everywhere, claiming to gather 100,000 people to pray for the gods to come again."

"Another Valley Immortal?"

"It's very similar, Nanjing's extraordinary Dao has removed him, and the Five Elements Sect has refused to associate with him, for fear of causing trouble, you know, the government has always been wary of this kind of thing."

"But the government didn't arrest him after all."

"Because he only persuaded a few dozen people, which was too far from 100,000, and he was willing to make money, the government turned a blind eye to him when he was crazy."

In the past, Shen Qianyuan was a veritable hero, but now he has become a liar, Hu Guiyang sighed with emotion, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Among the people Shen Qianyuan persuaded is Zhang Wuchen, right?" ”

Yuan Mao nodded.

"No wonder Zhang Wuchen would go to eat noodles near my house, and when he saw me, he ran away, it turned out to be a message to Shen Qianyuan. Shen Qianyuan came to me and looked quite normal. ”

"The surface is normal, but the heart is crazy, such a person is more terrifying and can be more demagogic."

"Looks like you've got your eye on him?"

"This is one of Nansi's responsibilities, I won't do it for the time being, but if he makes too much noise...... He's not your friend, is he? ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Is there any news of Yiren or Jindan?" ”

"It's all ridiculous rumors, not worth mentioning."

Hu Guiyang was about to ask again, but Fan Dajian ran in in a panic, nodded to Yuan Mao, and said to Hu Guiyang: "Something is wrong." ”

"Huh?"

"Your fans have been beaten."

"My powder?"

"Ren Liu'er, this morning she went to Erlang Temple to offer incense, met another group of people, and started a fight without saying a word, she brought few people, and was beaten very badly."

"She's not my fan...... Who hit her? ”

"A few people in Wuque Hutong outside the city are said to have snatched one of their guests from Ren Liu'er, and they used all means."

Hu Guiyang's heart moved.
