Chapter 385: The Lord
Hu Guiyang had a good night's sleep, and when he arrived at his room, it was almost noon, and the study was crowded with people, and there were a total of 15 or 6 people from 100 households, general banners, and small banners in each room, who were enthusiastically discussing the plan to find and arrest people.
Baihu Zuo Yu was also among them, talking and laughing, and Jiang Yun seemed to be old friends who had known each other for many years, he obviously inquired about Jiang Yiwei's experience from Jinyiwei, swept away the doubts and resistance in his heart, and did his best to convince this "power grabber".
Hu Guiyang stood at the door, unable to move an inch, listened for a while, and found that these people were only general, and did not propose a really effective method, but Jiang Yun listened very carefully, occasionally raised questions, or expressed praise, in short, to be satisfactory to everyone, and thought that he was appreciated.
After another half an hour, Hu Guiyang's stomach growled, and everyone else was hungry, so the army officials retreated, and when Zuo Yu passed by Hu Guiyang's side, he said loudly to him: "Do things well, it is your blessing to follow Jiang experience, and the future is immeasurable, we all envy you." ”
Zuo Yu had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "Master Jiyan, my requirements are not high, it is enough to be promoted to a deputy thousand households." ”
Deputy Qianhu happened to be a higher grade than everyone present, Zuo Yu and the others sneered, and no one answered.
When the officers were gone, the servants immediately came in and asked if they would have dinner here, and after receiving an affirmative answer, they brought in eight dishes, a bowl of rice, and a pot of tea.
Alcohol was not allowed in the yamen, and the head of the servants stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, if there are other needs, we can also meet them, for example, the pot may not have to be filled with tea......
"Haha, thank you, I don't need it today, take another pair of chopsticks, I'll eat with Captain Hu."
"Yes." When the servant leader retreated, he did not hide the envy of Hu Guiyang on his face.
"Then you're welcome." Hu Guiyang brought a stool and sat beside Jiang Yun, "The food here is much better than what I made myself. ”
The bowls and chopsticks were delivered, Hu Guiyang was polite for a while, and then let go of the big meal, and after eating the rice, he asked for two more bowls, and one person ate most of the dishes.
The servants were all surprised when they came in to pack their things, and the amount of eight dishes was quite a lot, enough to fill the stomachs of three or four people, and today it was almost not enough.
The servant leader was genuinely afraid, "I'll bring some more pastries." ”
Jiang Yun looked at Hu Guiyang, Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I can't eat it." ”
"Then you don't need it."
There were no outsiders in the study, and Jiang Yun smiled: "I thought I would see you in a few days." ”
"Didn't I say that? Good meals here. ”
"Haha, welcome to come often. Slow down and don't send. ”
Hu Guiyang didn't move, "I can follow you to investigate the case." ”
"I can't ask for it."
"But there's one thing you have to be honest with me."
"Even if you ask me where I was for the first time I ate flower wine, I will tell you the truth."
"It must be in Nanjing, I don't know that place, and it's useless to ask. Well, who are you? Hu Guiyang asked this question yesterday and brought it up again today.
"In Xiajiang Yun......"
"No, no, I'm not asking for your name, at least tell me who they think you are." Hu Guiyang pointed out the door.
"Left 100 households, them?"
"Yes, you must have some background to make them so subservient. I can also inquire, but it's too troublesome, so I might as well ask you directly. ”
"It's a hassle-free. Who am I in their eyes...... These people haven't told me, and I can only guess. ”
"Who better than you guess?"
"Haha, too. I have a little fame in Nanjing, and I guess the Jinyiwei here may not know. I love to make friends, and there are many in the capital, but there are many people in the rivers and lakes, and Jinyiwei may not look down on them. My family's money has always been in and out of the house, and it is rare to have overnight surpluses. Thinking about it, there can only be one reason, I was specially invited from Nanjing by the emperor to track down the whereabouts of Shenyu. ”
Hu Guiyang was taken aback, "Really...... Divine decree? ”
"I won't accept the false order."
"Admire." Hu Guiyang arched his hand, "It's okay to eat first and then talk, otherwise I will definitely not be happy, at least I don't dare to move the dishes in front of you." ”
"Haha, it turns out that a holy decree is so powerful."
"Why did the emperor summon you to Beijing? Your 'fame' is not small. ”
"Fame is not about adults, but about who spreads it. I worked under the household department in Nanjing, and I loved to make friends in the rivers and lakes since I was a child, and I joined the ...... at the age of twenty-five."
"Extraordinary? Your status must be higher than Shen Qianyuan. ”
"He is one of the top ten wilks of the very Tao, and his status is equivalent to the master of inkstone, up is the master of paper, and then up is the master of ink, and it is equivalent to the protector of the Dharma and preaching, and even more so is me."
"You're the pen owner?"
"The pen owner is vacant, and I am the scripture master."
"There are so many masters, and there are a lot of people in the Dao, right?"
"The total is less than a thousand."
"It's not as many as the Five Elements Sect."
"It's very good, not too much."
"When Shen Qianyuan came to Beijing, I didn't see him being valued by the government, how could you get the Holy Decree to summon him?"
"Shen Qianyuan came to Beijing alone, and most of the friends he made were good men in the capital, and I was recommended to the emperor by someone. This recommender, Captain Hu, should recognize it, Lord Shao Baoshang. ”
"Shang Shaobao Zhishi returned to his hometown, and he still has such a big face?"
"In Yunyang Mansion, Shang Shaobao once made contributions, before the Temple of Heaven sacrificed to the gods, Shang Shaobao also wrote many times, bitterly persuading the emperor to take the community as the priority, respect the ancestors and worship the sky, and not be deceived by the warlocks of the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that the emperor couldn't listen to outsiders at that time, and the only concession he made was to transfer a jade pendant to Captain Hu. ”
Hu Guiyang remembered, "And the jade pendant was sent to the palace by Shang Shaobao." ”
"Shang Shaobao got the jade pendant from me."
"It's such a big circle, no wonder you want to find Shenyu...... And from whom did you get it? ”
"It's always been in the hands of the very Dao."
"That's weird."
"It's not surprising that the Heavenly Machine Ship has been born for more than a hundred years, and in order to stimulate the power of mortals for its use, many attempts have been made, and a lot of treasures have flowed out, and it was not until Yunyang Mansion that it finally succeeded. That jade pendant was handed down more than seventy years ago, and there should be only one in the world, which can store far more divine power than the so-called golden pill. There is only one trouble, and the divine power only goes in and out. ”
"So you dedicate yourself to the emperor, hoping to collect divine power."
"That's right, although the divine power is strong, it is not the power that mortals should have. Originally, we thought that there was little hope, but we had to try again, but we did not expect to complete the great work in the hands of Captain Hu. ”
"Hey, what a job. Now that it's done, why do you want to get the jade back? ”
"As I said earlier, the Divine Jade can only enter and not enter the Divine Jade, but recently there have been rumors that there may be a way to take out the Divine Power and redistribute it to the world."
"I've also heard similar sayings, and some people have even told me that the Heavenly Machine Ship intends to spread divine power to observe the changes of mortals, and if it doesn't fulfill the wishes of the Heavenly Machine Ship, when it comes back, it is likely to release more divine power, causing even greater harm."
"There is this possibility, which is consistent with 'the return of the heavenly machine, the ascension of the strange one', but this is a matter of the future, and no one can guess the true intention of the heavenly machine ship. All I want now is to get the jade back and destroy it. ”
"Do you have a way to destroy the Divine Jade?"
"Shenyu is afraid of fire, if the record is correct, burning it for three months in a row with a strong fire may be able to destroy Shenyu, and the divine power inside will also be released, so it must be in a no-man's land when burning jade."
"If there is no one, who will add firewood to the fire?"
Jiang Yun smiled and said: "There is a ground fire in the northwest, which often burns for several years, and there is no grass in a radius of tens of miles, which is the best place to destroy jade." I've found a few places, but the only one I've sent is Shenyu. ”
Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "Does the emperor know that you are going to destroy the Divine Jade?" ”
"Step by step, find the Shenyu first, and then slowly persuade the emperor to destroy the Shenyu."
"Hey, you're telling the truth, and you're not afraid of me telling you."
"I have fellowship with sincerity, and I will not regret it."
Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "If you say that, I won't be able to tell the whistleblower, anyway, I can't find anyone if I want to tell the whistleblower, and no one in my boss will believe me." ”
"Is there anything else Captain Hu wants to ask?"
"Not for now." Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "What's your plan?" ”
"Captain Hu is willing to be my helper?"
Hu Guiyang thought for a while and patted the table gently, "Idle is also idle, listen to you if it's interesting, then participate." If you are dissatisfied, you can say at any time that it is impossible for me to correct it, but I can quit and continue to be an idle lieutenant. ”
"Don't worry, what I see as Captain Hu is not diligent, but ......"
"Clever?"
Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head, "Ambition." ”
"Ambition? I just said that I was lazy, and you actually fancy my 'ambition'? ”
"Captain Hu doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and this alone is enough to beat thousands of captains in Jinyi."
"If you don't believe in ghosts and gods, it's also an ambition?"
"Well, this is especially important when looking for the Divine Jade. In the face of divine power, very few people can remain firm, the emperor can't, the eunuchs in the palace can't, the civil and military officials can't, and even Shang Shaobao can't, he must stay away from the distance in order to be 'a bystander'. I have repeatedly asked myself, if the Shenyu is really placed in front of me, I may not be moved. Therefore, Captain Hu's 'not believing in ghosts and gods' is very important, without your help, who can be willing to send the divine jade into the earth fire? ”
Hu Guiyang almost said that Shenyu was in this room, buried by a pile of old papers, but he held back, not because he doubted Jiang Yun, but because he felt that it was really boring to tell the truth too early.
"So I'm so important." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
"You're important."
"I thought you were just trying to find the jade from me."
"I've already asked, you said that Shenyu is not on you, that is not there, I believe, let's look elsewhere."
"Where to look?"
"He Sanchen."
"Adults don't think she's the one who wants to marry me, right?"
"It has to be her."
"But...... Why? Why did she throw herself into the net. ”
"This is not a self-imposed net, if there is someone in this world who has mastered the method of extracting divine power, it must be He Sanchen. I've heard that it is more difficult to take out divine power than to infuse it, and it requires the help of a large number of mortals. He Sanchen has Shenyu, but she has no one under her, so she has to return to the capital and ask the court for help. ”
"Then you don't have to marry me."
"She has her own ideas, but they haven't fully revealed them yet."
"In that case, what else are we looking for? Just wait. ”
"He Sanchen is going to take out the divine power, and I want to destroy the divine power, the Tao is different, naturally I can't just wait. Captain Hu also supports the destruction of jade, right? ”
"Yes." Hu Guiyang answered simply, but he was a little confused in his heart, Shenyu was obviously not in He Sanchen's hands, and her purpose of returning to the capital was still confusing.
