(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Ask for power, don't be a backer.

The traveler walked through the wilderness, thirsty and smoking, and saw a small puddle in front of him, the water in which was muddy and dirty, but he could not care so much, and pounced on it to drink.

Then his companions came after him, equally tired and equally hungry, and said to him, "Go a little further and there will be a sweet, clean water in front of you." ”

"You haven't walked this road, how do you know there's clean water ahead?"

"The air seems to be getting damp, and there is a faint green in the distance, so I guess the clear water must be ahead."

"I'm already thirsty, what if I can't get a new water source? Or is the new water source just as dirty? ”

"The water here is too dirty, and if you drink it, you will die nine times out of ten, so it is better to have hope and go a little further."

How should travelers choose? Is it to drink dangerous and practical dirty water, or to head to a sweet and illusory distant water source?

The thirteenth brother Hu Guijian suggested that he should not take refuge in any party first, ask for power as much as possible, and wait until the demon fox case is investigated, and then make a decision.

So, Hu Guiyang now made up a story to answer.

Hu Guijian also often has a smile on his face, but it is just right, never let the other party feel ridiculed, after listening to the story of the third and sixth brothers, he said: "Speaking of which, I am just one of the many lobbyists, and the person who makes decisions and makes choices is still the third and sixth brothers." ”

After thinking for a while, Hu Guiyang said: "I really don't have a choice, I can only do what Brother Thirteen said." ”

"You believe me?"

"I don't know...... Did the thirteenth brother also look forward to me being a demon fox? ”

When the Zhao brothers were in chaos, Hu Guijian was still in Nanjing and on the way back to Beijing, but with his status at home, it is unlikely that he did not know about it in advance.

Hu Guijian nodded, "The eldest brother and the fifth brother have sent someone to send me a letter, and I have no objection, because the demon fox case is really too big, and there must be a result." And judging from the information I got at the time, the third and sixth brothers are indeed ...... It's a bit out of order. ”

"I've always been abnormal."

"So when something strange happens, everyone guesses you first."

"And now? Don't you doubt me anymore? ”

"It's hard to say, the father-in-law is not here, and the forty brothers are already scattered, each with their own ideas."

"Thirty brothers." Hu Guiyang corrected that ten brothers had already been killed.

Hu Guiji's expression darkened slightly, "The eldest brother and the fifth brother have done something wrong, if their brothers still have to divide 'useful' and 'useless', then the word 'brother' will be worthless." But I'm not here to defend or ask for forgiveness, I just hope that the third and sixth brothers will take a long-term view and get through the current hurdle first. ”

"A gentleman's revenge, isn't it too late for ten years? But I'm not a gentleman. ”

"It doesn't take ten years, one or two months is enough, and now that there are so many clues, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the details of the demon fox."

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Thirteen, don't drink the dirty water in front of me first, tomorrow I will go to Xichang and Qianfu to ask Wang Zhi and Yuan Bin for power, and other things will wait until I catch the real demon fox." ”

"And the East Factory, you have to go there too. The eldest brother and the fifth brother are there......"

"I'll go, when I start looking into the case." Hu Guiyang is not so generous, he can't smile and hate, but he won't stalk him.

Hu Guijian didn't have anything to say, and arched his hand: "That's it, if you need me, just ask." However, I don't think we'll be able to call each other brothers anymore. ”

"Didn't my father-in-law say it, they are all breadwinners, it doesn't matter if you are a brother or not, it's better not to be an enemy."

Hu Guijian said goodbye with a smile and left.

Hu Guiyang went to the backyard, He Wu was still eating steamed buns, choking and pale, "No, I can't eat without wine or food." ”

"If you can't eat it, take it out and feed the dogs, there are a lot of wild dogs in this area."

He Wu Maniac looked at the small half bucket of buns and more than half a bucket of cakes, "Don't worry, I'll try again." ”

"Go get me a mule cart first."

"What?" He Wu is not the kind of "servant" who obeys everything.

"I'm going back to my home north and bring something back."

He Wu Madman put down the bun, walked towards the door, suddenly turned around, and said with a smile: "You grabbed this house?" It's pretty much the same, kind of a match for my sister. ”

"Since you left me here alone, I'll live there first."

"Yes, live first, occupy it, whoever dares to rob it, I will beat him out." He Wu Madman waved his fist.

There were often mule carts waiting to be hired at the mouth of the alley, and He Wu Madman quickly brought one.

Seeing that both of them were limping, the coachman nodded secretly, thinking that this was really a pair of master and servant.

Hu Guiyang asked He Wu to stay behind and take a car to Shijia Hutong by himself.

He Wu madman held two wooden barrels, sat at the gate, and vowed to protect the house, not for the "master" Hu Guiyang, but for his sister.

Hu Guiyang was taken away from home by Xichang last time, the door and courtyard door were not locked, and he pushed the door in, first saw that the yard was clean, obviously someone had cleaned it, and then when he entered the house, it was spotless, and the miscellaneous things were all cleaned up, and there were a few packages neatly placed on the bed, clothes, weapons, silver, etc.

The coachman entered the house and moved the packages out one by one, Hu Guiyang turned around, and there was nothing to bring, so he found a spare key and lock, and locked the door.

When the courtyard door was locked, Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun came running, and they bowed their hands from a distance, saying "Master Hu", congratulations vigorously, and the coachman was startled, and he didn't dare to underestimate this lame patron.

Hu Guiyang ignored the two and got in the car to leave.

Zheng Sanhun hurriedly stopped the coachman, Jiang Erpi walked quickly to the back of the car, hugged his fists and smiled: "Master Hu just went home, why are you leaving?" Our brothers haven't had time to get close to Master Hu yet. ”

"Who's cleaning up the house?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"People from the government, Lord Hu is a big man now, and he fought with the demon fox for 300 rounds, and the fight was earth-shattering......"

Jiang Erpi turned over and over the same set of words, Hu Guiyang interrupted him, "I still have something to do, go first, inquire here, if there is any news, go to Guanyin Temple Hutong to find me." ”

"I have news right now." Jiang Erpi immediately replied.

Zheng Sanhun in front of the car hurriedly ran over to grab the credit, "A group of guests came from the south and lived in ......"

Jiang Erpi pushed Zheng Sanhun to shut him up, and then said with a smile: "There are so many groups of guests, who are very suspicious in the Spring Courtyard, and the third child and I are inquiring about their origins in many ways, and as soon as there is accurate news, we will immediately report it to Lord Hu." ”

"Yes, yes." Zheng Sanhun reacted.

Hu Guiyang was very familiar with these two people, he didn't show care, and he didn't give a good face, "Okay, if you have news, go find me." Catcher, gone. ”

The coachman was about to whip the whip, Jiang Erpi hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." This one...... Master Hu, our brothers have worked hard to find out the news, can we ......?"

"Give the news first and then give the money, we have always been this rule."

"We don't want money this time." Jiang Erpi said.

"Yes, no money." Zheng Sanhun helped, his eyes were shining, like a hungry child seeing his mother.

"I don't want money, what do I want?"

"Master Hu is about to soar, can't there be a few cronies around him? Our brothers have been following Master Hu for a long time, and we are loyal to ......."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get the news." Hu Guiyang patted the carriage, and the coachman immediately flicked his whip and drove the mule forward.

Jiang and Zheng stood at the door of Hu's house and watched the send-off, waving their hands from time to time, as if the simple villagers were sending the children of their village to Beijing to take the exam, full of expectations and reluctance.

Hu Guiyang didn't expect these two people to get important news, let alone make them cronies.

Zhao's house was still empty, only He Wu was a madman who sat at the gate and fell asleep, with two buckets of buns and bread beside him.

Hu Guiyang jumped out of the car, and the coachman came over to help carry the things with a smile, and according to the instructions of the owner, they were all placed in the front hall, and then received a few coins of silver, and retired satisfied, feeling that the transaction was worth it.

Hu Guiyang stood outside the gate and looked back and forth, the alley that is usually very lively, there is no half a figure today, even the most naughty children did not go out, everyone seems to have discussed it, hiding from the thirty-six lang who escaped death.

He walked up the steps and was about to wake up He Wu's madman, when he suddenly found a wooden barrel shaking slightly, and his heart was shocked, thinking that something strange had happened again.

The barrel shook more and more violently, and soon it stopped moving again.

Hu Guiyang stepped forward to check and couldn't help but smile dumbly.

There was not only bread in the barrel, but also a dog.

The dog was probably not more than a year old, dirty, covered with broken flour, vaguely earthy yellow, and looked like he had eaten enough, and was struggling to escape.

"He Wu Maniac!"

Hu Guiyang screamed a few times, and He Wu finally woke up, looking dazed, as if he had forgotten where he was.

"You're so generous, take the bread and feed it to the dogs."

He Wu Maniac looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the barrel, "Hey, what is this?" ”

"Wang." The little yellow dog replied.

He Wu Madman stretched out his hand and took out the yellow dog, "Where did the guy come from, dare to steal my cake?" I'm going to stew you. ”

The yellow dog honestly folded his front and back legs and stared blankly at the human.

"But you just have a few taels of meat, which is not enough for me to eat, so spare your dog's life for the time being, and let me stay away."

He Wu madman threw the dog out, but without too much force, the yellow dog fell to the bottom of the steps, turned over a few times, got up and ran into the alley.

He Wu Madman got up, "Everything has been moved?" ”

"Hmm." Hu Guiyang entered the hospital, and He Wu madman followed behind, and he didn't close the door, chattering, and arranged all the houses in Zhao's house to be useful.

Outside the house, the yellow dog ran not far away, stopped and turned around, found that the two humans had not caught up, tilted his head and thought for a while, ran back to the gate, jumped up the steps, sniffed around the barrel a few times, and it was no longer interested in eating.

The side door was open, and the yellow dog entered uninvited, following the smell, bypassing the shadow wall, and running to the antechamber, not far away, it smelled another smell, hesitated for a moment, and changed direction.

The yard is large and full of hard stone slabs, with the exception of one place, where the soil is soft and the smell comes from.

The yellow dog uses its front paws to dig through the soil, feeling that there is something more attractive than bread hidden underneath.
