Chapter 20: The Place of Death
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
Hu Guida couldn't figure it out, but he just went home, why did the third and sixth brothers change their minds? And there was a strong smell of residual wine in the room, and the third and sixth brothers were lying on their backs on the bed, their stomachs bulging high, as if they had swallowed the entire restaurant.
"Not leaving? This is...... What does that mean? Hu Guida was puzzled, and he didn't know where to put the package in his arms, "I even brought the horse, so I bolted it to the door." ”
"It means that I want to stay, and one day I want to leave, and I will go openly and beautifully, instead of sneaking away."
The juice was flowing on the table, and there were gnawed bones everywhere on the ground, Hu Guida really had no place to put the package, so he had to walk to the bed with his arms, and when he saw the weapons and silver pieces scattered in the bed, he became more and more confused, "Brother Sanliu, how much wine have you drunk?" ”
"I didn't drink too much wine, but I ate a lot of meat and vegetables." Hu Guiyang patted his stomach lightly, "It is estimated that I won't have to eat for three days." ”
"Brother Sanliu, you know how dangerous it is now, and if you stay in the capital, you will not only harm yourself, but also ...... Many people. ”
Hu Guiyang turned sideways and found that it was uncomfortable, so he still had to lie on his back, "I suddenly wanted to understand a truth." ”
"What's the truth?" Hu Guida knew that the third and sixth brothers were going to talk about crooked reasoning and heresies again, so he sighed, but he still had to listen.
"Someone secretly designed to frame me for murder, and to turn me into a demon fox who can kill people in my dreams, I don't know why, but I know that the responsibility is not mine, so how can I implicate others?"
"But ......"
"The third brother died because of me on the surface, but that night, the murderer must kill someone, anyone can do it, as long as it can be related to me, it is not the third brother, it will also be a certain brother. At that time, I was investigating the cause of my father's death and the whereabouts of his body, and I suspected that whoever would die. So I'm involved with the third brother? No, no, it's too proud, as if I have the ability to decide who lives and who dies, in fact, I'm worse than a pawn, and I can't see who the manipulator is. ”
"Didn't you figure this out a long time ago?" Hu Guida still remembered that the third and sixth brothers were originally obsessed with the death of the third brother, and after returning home, they became indifferent again.
"Yes, but I still think I'm important, so important that when I leave, everything will be solved."
"Can't you?" Hu Gui asked in a loud voice.
"I can't." Hu Guida sat up, his stomach was uncomfortably blocked, so he had to stand on the ground, "First of all, I can't escape, even if I can leave the capital smoothly, the word demon fox will follow me closely, and it will be easier, because no one can prove that I am not at the scene." Secondly...... Secondly, once I am gone, who will protect my home? ”
Hu Gui glanced at the small room, and really didn't think that this home was worth protecting.
"I'm now a member of the 'Captain of the Absolute Son', and I am a member of the Yanshan avant-garde test hundred households - although I haven't been appointed yet, but my reputation is outstanding, in this area, I am well-informed, and all the brothers in the family, as well as you, can help me, but once I leave the capital, I will have nothing, and if I want to fight back, what can I fight back?"
Hu Guida waited for a while, and said reluctantly: "Our brothers are not all credible. ”
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have anyone to trust, so I could only wander around the rivers and lakes."
"Didn't Brother Sanliu know the salt dealers? You can go and hide. ”
Hu Guiyang laughed and said, "I do know a few salt dealers, these guys all recognize money, officials and people, I do things for Jinyiwei, all of them are easy to say, if I become a fugitive and I don't have any real skills, they won't take care of me." ”
Hu Guida had no choice, "Then what should I do?" Just stay at home and watch more and more of your brothers die at the hands of demon foxes? ”
Hu Guiyang patted his belly, "I'm full, it's time to go out for activities." The He family is a clue sent to the door, and I want to start investigating from here. ”
"I think - since you have to stay, it's better to go to the eldest brother and the fifth brother, they have already found a lot of clues over there, and it is said that the fifth brother will soon be able to capture Xiao Peony and the man with two knives."
"The eldest brother and the fifth brother are not short of manpower, I will investigate the case in my own way." Hu Guiyang pressed his right hand on his belly and tapped it gently, but he didn't realize that he was thinking deeply, and he didn't even care too much about Brother Sanjiu, "The He family's actions must have deep meaning, they fish, I am the fish, I have no other choice than biting the bait......"
"Otherwise, you will marry the daughter of the He family, it is easy to talk between husband and wife, maybe she will tell you anything." Hu Guida really couldn't guess the mind of the third and sixth brothers, he only felt that he was changing too fast.
Hu Guiyang looked up at Brother Sanjiu, as if he had just noticed him present, suddenly raised his right hand, pointed at Hu Gui and nodded a few times, "Good idea, just like fishing, the more the fish struggles, the faster it dies, jump directly ashore along the fishing line, give the angler a surprise attack, maybe you can come back to life." Brother Sanjiu, you have a great idea. ”
"Ah, you, do you really want to marry Third Sister He? I'm talking about fun. ”
Hu Guiyang made a forward gesture, "I just have to go ashore with the trend, and I still have to spit out the bait in the end." ”
"Huh?" Hu Guida didn't dare to say that he fully understood what the third and sixth brothers meant.
"No matter how much, how much money do you bring?"
"It's for you to escape." Hu Guida hugged the package tighter.
"I'm running for my life, but the method and path are a little different, bring it quickly, and I'll pay you back later."
"It's not all my money, it's someone else's...... In a word...... This, my savings...... Brother Sanliu, don't rob it, you will really pay it back in the future, right? How long, two days a day? Two months? Years? ”
Hu Guiyang snatched the package, checked it, and removed the sundries inside, which was estimated to be two or three hundred taels of silver, "Before you get married, you must pay it back." ”
"That didn't last long...... I mean, Brother Sanliu, are you really sure? ”
Hu Guiyang smiled slightly, "Grasp? If the righteous father only does things that he is sure of, he will be idle until he dies, and the thing of 'grasping' is not in my hands, nor is it in your hands, and the only person who is sure now is the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
Hu Guida felt that he would never see this bag of silver again, although it was originally meant to be given to the third and sixth brothers, but now he was a little reluctant, "Okay, you can do what you want, it's silver, can you use it so much?" ”
"It's just too little." Hu Guiyang threw the package on the bed, "You go home, you don't have to follow me." ”
"You want to go to Longtan alone?"
"Haha, the He family is not Longtan, and I am safe, I am a 'demon fox', and no one is willing to kill me until the time is ripe. On the contrary, you, Brother Sanjiu, have to be more careful these days, it is dangerous to walk alone, and it may not be safe to stay with your brothers. ”
Hu Guida nodded, without squeaking, there were many signs that there were betrayers among the righteous sons of the Zhao family, and he would rather not want to do this.
"Without further ado, let's get started before it gets dark." Hu Guiyang walked out.
"You're in too much of a hurry."
"As soon as it gets dark, it's likely that someone will die again, so you have to be in a hurry."
Hu Guida had no choice but to follow and go out, frequently looking back at the package on the bed, "Things are just put on the bed?" ”
"Just lock the door." Hu Guiyang found the key and lock, locked the door, and locked the door after being discharged from the hospital, "I have to see Lord Yuan again." ”
"You trust him?" Hu Guida was a little surprised.
"Of course not, I have to get the appointment of the trial hundreds, this thing is somewhat useful, maybe it can be exchanged for some silver."
"Although Lord Yuan has left Jinyiwei, after all, he is the governor of the former mansion, and he is in power......"
"I'm not trying to seize power, what are I afraid of him?" Hu Guiyang looked at the pedestrians on the street, "The demon fox should be fearless. ”
Hu Guida led the horse, the two walked together, and broke up in the Hutong of Guanyin Temple, Hu Gui sent the third and sixth brothers away, and the feeling of looking at the bag of silver before, felt that he would never see him again, and couldn't help but sigh, turned around and entered the alley, and did not stop when he passed the fifth brother's house, and walked into the eldest brother's house before walking in quickly.
Hu Guiyang, who walked on the road, walked with easy steps, he was a lazy man, but in order to keep his "lazy" qualifications, he would occasionally work hard, and now was the time for him to work hard.
Maybe this is the purpose of the father-in-law, he thought, the father-in-law knows every son in the family, and knows that Hu Guiyang has to be put to death in order to stimulate his fighting spirit, and now, the father-in-law's purpose has been achieved, and he has entered the place of death.
Hu Guiyang was the last visitor of the day, and the doorman was reluctant to report it, so he said directly: "Your Excellency has already left, come back tomorrow." ”
"This is strange, I visited as promised, Lord Yuan specially said not to come too early, since you said that you have left, then I will go to Lord Yuan's house to ask."
"Wait, maybe ...... Didn't go. The doorman was a little vague, the young man in front of him was dressed like an ordinary person, but he spoke like a prince and nobleman who was on a private visit, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, anything strange could happen, he had to be careful, "I'll go in and take a look." ”
Hu Guiyang turned to look at the Jinyi Guard Office diagonally opposite, where there were many people coming in and out, which was in stark contrast to the former military governor's mansion here.
"Lord Yuan must be having a hard time." Hu Guiyang muttered in a low voice, the emperor is ruthless enough, and transferred Yuan Bin to the opposite side of Jinyiwei, and every day when he enters and exits the government office, he can see the old place and the old man, and the two are compared, and he will feel abandoned.
He didn't wait long before the doorman came out and invited him into the office, but his expression was strange, and it was obvious that the response he received from Lord Yuan was not exactly what he expected.
Yuan Bin's expression did not show loss, and his face still had the characteristic smile of a person who had been in a high position for a long time, which seemed to be kind, which flattered the lowly, so that he did not dare to look directly, and seemed to be cold, which made the bold feel meaningless.
Hu Guiyang's courage was not small, but at this time, he was even more bold, he gave up his hand slightly, didn't even say kind words, and said directly: "Lord Yuan, I'm here to ask for guilt." ”
"What a sin." Yuan Bin was surprised.
"I didn't find my father-in-law's body, nor did I find out the cause of death, and I was caught in the situation step by step, and now I have no way out, so I have to ask the adults to take me in, let me be your sidekick, in case of an accident, the adults can also pull me."
Yuan Bin smiled bitterly: "What you want, just say it directly, you don't have to beat around the bush." ”
"My lord said that there are many people in the DPRK who do not believe in ghosts and gods, and they will help me, and now I need help."
The smile on Yuan Bin's face slowly disappeared, "What do you do?" ”
Hu Guiyang took two steps closer, "Help me become a demon." ”
