In the inn, Guo Juren refused to go into the city to share Jindan, and he was used to being at ease in the mountains, and he couldn't accept any form of "Zhao'an".

Guo Juren did not return to the mountains immediately, but took the opportunity to visit acquaintances near the capital, one is to pay New Year's greetings, and the other is to inquire about the news, the unknown soldier needs Jindan, even if the quality is not good, it can be maintained for a while.

The soldiers obeyed Guo Juren's orders, but there was one thing, he never refused to take off his military uniform, Guo Juren had to place him in a small shop, guarded by his son Guo Yu, he went out alone, and returned as soon as possible.

Things are not going well, most of Guo Juren's friends were made when he was young, and the youngest is nearly fifty years old, and he has already washed his hands, not asking about the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't even know what Yunyang Jindan is.

The gold pill in his hand was about to be exhausted, and he had to use it sparingly, but the soldier couldn't understand this, his condition worsened, his temper gradually became irritable, Guo Yu couldn't hold it down, so he could only change to his father to stay in the store to guard, and he went out to find a way.

"Not really...... Let's go to Captain Hu. Guo Juren's pride must bow to reality, and he has to admit that he can't do anything outside the mountain, even a small shop is rented at a large price, and in addition, he can't find a suitable place to live.

Guo Yu had no way out, so he could only follow his father's instructions, inquire everywhere along the way, and visit several homes.

Still found nothing, two days later, he only found one of the five families, and the other four families either moved away a long time ago, or the head of the family was dead, and the relatives didn't remember Guo Juren at all.

Guo Yu was desperate, and decided to go back to the store to persuade his father to go to Hu Guiyang as soon as possible, or to be more resolute, simply give up the unknown soldier and go back to the mountains to re-identify, maybe there will be strangers among the mountain people.

There was no one in the store, the only shopkeeper, shopkeeper and guy didn't know where to go, Guo Yu didn't care too much, as soon as he entered the backyard, he immediately felt that something was wrong, the soldiers didn't shout, and his father didn't ask vigilantly.

He pushed the door in and saw two corpses, the soldier was on his back, his throat was hit, the blood flowing out was like a red rope around his neck, his father was lying not far away, his body was uninjured, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his body was stiff, and he had no snort for a long time.

"So I went into the city to find Captain Hu, which is my father's last wish." Guo Yu said cautiously, staring at Hu Guiyang, as long as the other party showed a trace of embarrassment, he immediately said goodbye, even if he slept on the street or was taken down by officers and soldiers, he would not cause trouble.

"Eat first, stay with me for one night, and talk about the rest tomorrow."

Hu Guiyang was not cold or enthusiastic, Guo Yu hesitated, decided to accept, and said, "Thank you Captain Hu for taking you in." The shopkeeper probably saw the corpse and was afraid of being interrogated by the government, so he ran away. Now that the body is still parked in the store, I have no other luxuries, except that Captain Hu can help me transport my father's body back to the mountains with a mule and a cart. ”

"Don't worry, it's easy, let's eat first."

The servants of the Zhao Mansion are not complete, the meals are still the same, there is an extra pot of wine, Hu Guiyang accompanied Guo Yu to eat together, and said with a smile: "Sorry, there are no good things here, there may be improvement tomorrow, let's go to the restaurant the day after tomorrow, shall we?" Sorry, I forgot about your current situation. ”

Guo Yu is not picky, he eats a lot of rice, and said vaguely: "Very good, very good." ”

After the two finished eating, Hu Guiyang sent Guo Yu to find a room to rest, and asked on the way, "How did you find here?" ”

"My father told me where you lived in Shijia Hutong before his death, and when I went there, there was no one in your house, and an old Taoist showed me the way, saying that you moved to Guanyin Temple Hutong."

Hu Guiyang didn't remember that he had revealed his address to Guo Juren, so he could only speculate that the old patriarch was thoughtful and secretly inquired.

"Have a good rest, I'm going out early tomorrow morning and I'll come back in the evening, you stay here and don't go out, don't answer anything others ask you."

"Of course, I'm looking for Captain Hu, and I don't know anyone else."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said goodbye.

He didn't want Guo Yu to reveal the details, so that when he went to see the factory tomorrow, he didn't have to reveal too much.

The next morning, he rode to Xichang alone, waited for nearly two hours, drank several pots of tea, and when Wei Ying had nothing to talk to, Wang Zhi was finally late.

Hu Guiyang was called to the public hall to meet the factory and waited in line at the door.

Wang Zhi handled official business in turn, and finally it was Hu Guiyang's turn, and he said to Wei Ying first: "From tomorrow, you don't have to be on duty, go to Zhao's house to investigate the case with Hu Guiyang." ”

"Yes." Wei Ying didn't ask a word.

Wang Zhi turned to Hu Guiyang, "Is the driving post given to you last year still there?" ”

"It's here, it's been well kept."

"Hand it over."

Hu Guiyang held it with both hands, Wang Zhi held it with one hand, and picked up another brand new driving sticker, "In the future, you will investigate the case with this." ”

Hu Guiyang stretched out his hand to take it, Wang Zhi shook his head, "You are the school captain, Wei Ying is a hundred households, of course the driving sticker must be kept by him, no matter where you go in the future, you must walk with him." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "Won't Wei Baihu become a long-legged driver?" ”

"Whatever you want." Wang Zhi handed the driving sticker to Wei Ying and continued: "Give you a month, no matter which step you find, you have to stop it immediately, understand?" ”

"It's the ...... of the New Year"

"What's wrong with New Year? Are you still going to eat, drink and be merry? ”

"The first month is just right, that is, Wei Baihu and I are guilty together, and I am uneasy."

"You're still bothering me, I'm uneasy, so don't be hippie and smile." Wang Zhi said angrily, and thought for a while, "The military and civilians in the capital and the court will follow you to inquire, but you can't enter the palace, this time it's different from last time, you can't enter the palace for half a step, no matter how many reasons you have." ”

"Remembered."

Wang Zhi waved his hand, "Get out." ”

Hu Guiyang did not move.

"You're still not satisfied?" Wang Zhi looked annoyed.

"Satisfied, but there is one thing that must be asked."

"Just ask."

"As the factory official said, Wei Baihu is a hundred households, I am the school captain, we will investigate the case together, who listens to whom?"

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Honoring the humble and the lowly is the right way that is not easy for eternity, you are a little ...... You are a school captain, and you still want to order a hundred households? ”

"I don't want to." Hu Guiyang glanced at Wei Ying, smiled at him, and continued: "Since it is Wei Baihu in charge, the factory father should have said those things to him just now, and he should also be responsible for the one-month period. ”

Wang Zhi patted the public case, "Every time I see you, my mood is affected by the day, do you want to investigate the case?" ”

"I want to, but the factory man first tied his legs and then let me run, this ...... I can't take a step. ”

Wang Zhi frowned, didn't understand what Hu Guiyang meant, Wei Ying stepped forward and arched his hand: "Official affairs are important, grades are light, Captain Hu's ability to investigate the case is obvious to all, and he has long been qualified to be promoted to 100 households, he is in charge of this case, I have no opinion." ”

Wang pointed directly at Wei Ying, "Look at people, Hu Guiyang, take a look." ”

Hu Guiyang really turned his head to stare at Wei Ying, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of adults, I remember, according to this calculation, how big should the belly of the factory man be?" I felt like I was standing by the sea, ...... at a glance."

"Is there anything else? It's okay to get out of here, I don't want to hear from you. Wang Zhi waved his hand again and again.

"Money ......"

"Ask Wei Ying." Wang Zhi only hoped that this person could disappear from his eyes as soon as possible.

Hu Guiyang gave up his hand and retired, and couldn't help but say another sentence at the door, "The West Factory does not ask about the background, if you talk about the dignity and the lowly, it is not very beneficial to the factory company." ”

Before Wang Zhi could understand, Hu Guiyang had already withdrawn from the court.

Wei Ying followed up and said with a smile: "Captain Hu's courage is really ...... The factory is also very fond of you, which is different from ordinary people, and if you replace someone else, you will be killed early. ”

"This is not called pampering, this is not worrying about debts."

Wei Ying laughed and arched her hand: "I'll go to the house early tomorrow morning to meet." ”

"Waiting for you."

No one in the West Factory asked about Guo Yu's origin, and Hu Guiyang didn't mention it.

It was past noon, and Hu Guiyang felt that there was still a little time, so he went to Nancheng hungry.

Shen Qianyuan rented a small courtyard in a dart bureau, and as soon as he got the report, he immediately came out to greet him, this time he didn't pretend to be cold, and said with a smile: "New Year's greetings to Captain Hu." I knew that Captain Hu had returned to Beijing and had not visited the house, which was rude and rude. ”

"Don't, I didn't bring a gift, and you don't have to pay New Year's greetings, let's be true friends."

"Haha, that's right, true friends don't talk about hypocrisy, please come in."

Entering the house, Hu Guiyang pushed all the old tea and wine invitations, and said: "Nothing to do, I have a few things to ask clearly, after today, I'm afraid there will be no chance." ”

"Oh? What's going on after today? ”

"From tomorrow onwards, no matter where I go or who I meet, I will bring a hundred households in brocade clothes, would you like to see him?"

Shen Qianyuan immediately shook his head, "Except for Captain Hu, I don't want to see any Jinyi Guards." ”

"How did you meet Gu Zhongxian?"

"I've been looking for a way to restore my divine skills, and Gu Zhongxian is also doing the same thing, we are like-minded, he sent someone to the door, and the two sides hit it off." Shen Qianyuan said it briefly, but he didn't hide it.

"And Gu Zhongxian has a golden pill in his hand."

"It's rumored, but I haven't seen it, I heard that Captain Hu got one?"

"He sent for me."

Shen Qianyuan was silent for a while, and said with a dry smile: "Gu Zhongxian is still more optimistic about Captain Hu. ”

"Yes, it's too optimistic, first sent someone to talk nonsense outside the walls of my house, and then gave me food in that yard to make me a stranger."

Shen Qianyuan laughed twice, "I'm only responsible for ventilating and reporting, and other things have nothing to do with me." ”

"Then please report the letter again."

"Captain Hu, please speak."

"Please tell Gu Zhongxian, starting tomorrow I will investigate the cause of death of the two strangers, the upper is not to avoid the Son of Heaven, and the lower is not to hide the heroes, he will either come in person and explain it to me, or wait for me to find the door and interrogate it clearly."

Shen Qianyuan was stunned for a while, "Two strangers died?" Gu Zhongxian is the first prisoner of the imperial court, and if it weren't for Captain Hu's knowledge, I wouldn't even admit to knowing him. It's okay to relay the news, but I don't think he's coming to town. ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "It's okay, you have to make it clear first, so as not to complain about each other later." Brother Shen won't interfere, right? ”

Shen Qianyuan shook his head, "My interaction with Gu Zhongxian is limited to jointly looking for a way to restore divine power. ”

Hu Guiyang got up and said goodbye, "Why do you always say 'restore divine skills'?" To be honest, I don't think 'divine power' ever belonged to any mortal, so how can we talk about 'restoration'? ”

"Believe it or not, just a thought, Captain Hu should concentrate on investigating the case, if you need help, please feel free to speak, I will do my best to cooperate." Inhumans are immortals to me, how can immortals be killed? I'd love to know why, and other Inhumans must be thinking the same way. If Captain Hu can find out the truth, he will be unexpectedly thanked. ”

Hu Guiyang sighed, then smiled: "Unexpected? I like to be unexpected. ”
