Wang Zhi came on horseback and stopped at the gate of Zhao's house, with his back to the sunset, and more than a dozen horseback attendants stopped outside Hu Guishen's house dozens of steps away, attracting many people to watch, and soon, the watchers quietly retreated to their homes.

Hu Guiyang was called out by the eldest brother, standing at the gate and looking at Wang Zhi, just in front of the oblique sunlight, he had to raise his hand to cover his eyes.

Hu Guishen didn't say anything, and immediately retreated to the door of his house, standing with the entourage of the factory father, there were no horses, and he couldn't help but be a little shorter.

"You want to see me, I'm coming." Wang Zhi sat on the horse, held the reins with both hands, and tilted his head to look at Hu Guiyang, as if this was the first time they had met, "And you don't hide or hide, so you'd better really have something important to say to me." ”

After a few days of not seeing, Wang Zhi's easy-going attitude has disappeared without a trace.

"Very important." Hu Guiyang walked down the steps, although he was short, he didn't need to look directly at the sunset, he could see Wang Zhi more clearly, "To put it simply, you are all looking for the wrong person." ”

Wang Zhi laughed disdainfully, "Tell me first, who are 'you'?" ”

"The West Factory that has just been established, the East Factory that has always been there, and the Jinyi Guard that is in a mess."

"Do you know who we're looking for?" Wang Zhi leaned forward slightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be waiting to hear an expected joke.

"There was an important person in the palace who was killed, you think it was Li Zilong who instructed the demon fox to kill people, Li Zilong was arrested, and the demon fox naturally disappeared. But you are wrong, the demon fox has not disappeared, and continues to kill, and the plan is very big, beyond your expectations. ”

Wang Zhi didn't show any surprise, "Of course the demon fox is still killing people, the target is you people, in a few days, if you can't arrest the demon fox, the West Factory will take over." ”

"I mean, the real demon fox, the demon fox that has been killing people since last year, is not the demon fox that you specially designed and intended to use to receive rewards. The factory is too simple. Hu Guiyang did not call Wang Zhi's name in person, "The dignitary who was killed in the palace was not simple, and the West Factory and the East Factory ignored some important clues. ”

"You don't even know who the victim is, so you dare to say that we ignored the clues?" Wang Zhi didn't mention the truth of the demon fox.

Hu Guiyang smiled: "At least I'm sure now that someone in the palace was really killed." ”

Wang Zhi's face was slightly gloomy, "You are wasting my time, Hu Guiyang, you overestimate your own cleverness, you had the opportunity to join me, but it was too late." Let's go see Yuan Bin tomorrow, the old guy may be easier to deceive. ”

Wang Zhi turned his horse around, and Hu Guiyang said loudly: "The factory man might as well check that person again when he goes back, he is hiding a secret, and this secret is the real reason why he was killed." ”

Wang Zhi patted the horse away, and more than a dozen entourages first let go to both sides, and then followed closely, the horse's hooves flew over, and there was quite a momentum of thousands of troops and horses in the small alley.

Hu Guishen ran over, "I'm so stupid, how can I speak for you?" Third and sixth brother, it doesn't matter if you offend the factory father, even we ......"

"Big brother, you're not stupid at all, on the contrary, you're too smart."

Hu Guishen watched the third and sixth brothers walk into Zhao's house in a daze, not knowing what to say.

The righteous sons in Zhao's house all moved out to live, leaving only Hu Guiyang and a few servants, who had dinner in the guest room and sat on the kang in a daze.

Old Wu Hu Guimeng didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door in directly, turned around for half a circle, walked to the table, took out the fire thing, lit half of the candle, and turned around to look at the third and sixth brothers.

Hu Guiyang sat still.

"How do you know that someone in the palace has been killed?"

Hu Guiyang and Wang Zhi were talking at the gate, naturally they couldn't hide anything.

"Guess." Hu Guiyang didn't want to mention the Vulcan Sect right now.

Hu Guimeng guessed more accurately, "It seems that the Vulcan Sect really regards you as a 'successor', and is willing to say anything to you, you won't take it seriously, right?" Hu Guimeng asked himself, "No, if you want to say that you don't believe in ghosts and gods, you are the most proud godson of your father-in-law." You're just trying to use the Vulcan Cult to get yourself out of trouble. ”

"The fifth brother is smarter than the eldest brother." Hu Guiyang leaned back slightly, leaning sideways against the wall, "Do you think I can succeed?" ”

"Help me wipe out the Vulcan, this is your best chance."

"When the father-in-law was divided, the eldest brother was responsible for monitoring the monastery and monks, and the fifth brother was focusing on the palace and the Taoist priests, the Fire Temple should belong to the fifth brother, presumably the fifth brother has been investigating the Fire God Sect for a long time, right?"

"Three years."

"It's been long enough, but when the fifth brother started to arrest people, he was still in a hurry, why is this?"

"You want to know why?"

"Yes."

Hu Guimeng sat on the other side of the kang, as if to tell a long story.

The story is indeed a bit long, but he said it very briefly, "The dragon and the crouching tiger in the capital also hide filth and dirt, there are many people who bewitch the public, and believers are everywhere, there are several big cults, and the Vulcan Sect is just one of them, and the righteous father originally hoped to follow this line and wipe out all the sects." ”

"So three years isn't too long." Hu Guiyang is a semi-idle person who knows very little about the secrets of his father-in-law, Zhao Ying.

"After the death of my father-in-law, the demon fox came out again, and the Vulcan Sect suddenly became active, and I got the news that the little peony and the man with the double knife were protected by the Vulcan Sect, so I had to do it, but unfortunately I only caught some small minions."

"But the fifth brother has aroused the righteous indignation and panic of the various sects with this, and he may be able to catch a big fish."

"Perhaps."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Hu Guiyang said, "Fifth brother has been eyeing He Million for a long time, right?" ”

"Well, I'll keep watching."

"Do you know his true identity?"

"He Million has used many names, one of which is Liang Tiegong, who adopted a son and a daughter in Guangxi, cheated everywhere, joined the Vulcan Sect in Nanjing, and his status slowly rose, and he came to Beijing last year."

"But you didn't tell your father."

"No, my father-in-law has always been calm, but he is a little rash in the pursuit of Liang Tiegong, and I don't want his old man to sabotage the whole operation."

"You're going to catch him later?"

"Yes, my father's enemy is also my enemy. The Vulcan Sect suffered a heavy blow last night, and it is likely that all sects will be convened to discuss countermeasures, as long as I keep an eye on He Million, I will be able to follow the vine. ”

"He Million is afraid that he will not show up again."

"Then keep an eye on his daughter."

"He million doesn't even care about his adopted son, but he still cares about his adopted daughter?"

Hu Guimeng was silent for a while, "Don't worry, we'll see." ”

Hu Guiyang was also silent for a while, "The fifth brother told me so much truth, he must have made a decision." ”

"Hmm."

"I became the 'Descendant of Vulcan' last night, did you a great favor?"

Hu Guimeng was silent for a while, "You helped all of us." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled indifferently, "The fifth brother and the eldest brother are reconciled as before?" Or is it - all the fights are faked, and the fifth brother is attached to the East Factory on the surface, but secretly he also takes refuge in Wang Zhi of the West Factory? ”

"The fight is real." Hu Guimeng said flatly, acquiescing to the statement of the third and sixth brothers, "The father-in-law is not here, my eldest brother and I will each build a team, and whoever does well will be favored by the factory father." As for the East Factory, the news I got was that they didn't dare to compete with the West Factory at all. ”

"Wang Zhi's technique of controlling the subordinates is really different from that of his father-in-law."

Hu Guimeng frowned slightly, "Do you know that for many years, it has been my stepfather who has prevented us from getting promoted, otherwise, I would never be an ordinary Jinyi Guard captain, and you would not be just civilians." ”

"I've heard a little." Hu Guiyang had just heard a similar statement from Yuan Bin yesterday.

"The father-in-law is so stubborn, stubborn that he does not hesitate to sacrifice everyone's interests. My father-in-law has the protection of Lord Yuan, but Lord Yuan is now out of power, who will protect our brothers? There are too many people offended by Captain Jeoko following his father-in-law, and he must find a new backer immediately. ”

"So it's Wang Zhi."

"Although the factory is young, he is deeply trusted by His Majesty and has a bright future, and he is also from Broken Teng Gorge, so he really cares about us people."

The two fell silent again, and Hu Guiyang asked: "You and the fifth brother are competing for favor in front of Wang Zhi, what are you fighting for?" Who caught the demon fox first, or who created a demon fox first? ”

"The two things you said are actually the same thing."

"Fifth brother, you made me confused."

Hu Guimeng stood up, "You are the demon fox, or the demon fox is on you, and whoever leads the demon fox out first between me and the eldest brother will make the first contribution." ”

Hu Guiyang laughed, "I've known Fifth Brother for so long, this is the first time you've told a joke." ”

"It's not a joke." Hu Guimeng said coldly, "Originally, I agreed with my eldest brother and hoped to lure the demon fox out slowly, but you went too far and too far, and you hit the wall yourself, so I decided to change the method and force the demon fox out." ”

Hu Guiyang still has a smile on his face, he has encountered many strange people and things these days, and the current fifth brother and what the fifth brother said are the most unexpected.

"Fifth Brother doesn't really believe that there is a demon fox in the world, right?"

"That's not important, what matters is the interests of most of the brothers, everyone has made dozens of great and small contributions to His Majesty and the imperial court, and they deserve to be rewarded."

Hu Guiyang suddenly woke up, "So those brothers who have no meritorious service, or too little meritorious service, will be abandoned: first the third brother, he can't even arrest people, and then the sixth brother, he concentrates on business and has no intention of making meritorious service, last night was the nineteenth brother, like me, I don't want to be motivated, how many such brothers can I remember, I will probably be killed by the demon fox tonight, right?" As for the sixteenth brother who was ambushed halfway, it was just to confuse the public, he was so good at martial arts and good at investigating cases, the fifth brother would definitely stay by his side. ”

"You still don't understand, the third child is just a bait, they are useless, so they were let out, but you are the one who bites the bait, and you are the one who kills them, tonight, you will kill more people and expose your true nature."

"This is the fifth brother's plan, to make me stunned, to make me angry, and thus make me a demon?"

Hu Guimeng did not answer.

"Hehe, I wish the fifth brother success, I am indeed a little dizzy, but I am far from being angry."

"Don't worry, you haven't slept yet."

Hu Guiyang covered his mouth and yawned, "When the fifth brother said this, I was really sleepy." ”

"You sleep, after I leave, the entire Zhao Mansion will belong to you, and the remaining two Yahuan and seven brothers will also belong to you, they are the last batch of live bait."

The smile on Hu Guiyang's face did not decrease, and the anger in his heart had risen to the top of his head, "Why did Xiaorou offend you, you have to kill her?" ”

"You'll have to ask yourself that, and you'll be able to answer later."

Hu Guiyang couldn't help laughing.

Hu Guimeng didn't smile, "Third and sixth brother, everything I do has nothing to do with personal grudges...... Forget it, it's useless to say this, soon you'll understand. ”

Hu Guimeng left without saying goodbye, Hu Guiyang sent it to the door, watched the fifth brother walk out of the courtyard, and without waiting for him to retreat to the room, a group of people walked in from the outside, most of them were dressed as Taoist priests, except for one person.

Hu Guiyang recognized it as Yun Dan, a eunuch under Wang Zhi.

Yun Dan stood under the shadow wall, commanded all the Taoist priests to arrange the instruments, waved his hand to Hu Guiyang from a distance, and said loudly: "Thank you for your help, they are finally willing to let me try once." ”

Hu Guiyang didn't ask who "they" were, nor did he ask what he wanted to try, he went back to the house and closed the door, but wanted to see how these Taoist priests made themselves demons, which was the result of his efforts to "promote" for several days.
