Wang Zhi likes to scold, scold when he is in a bad mood, scold when he is angry, scold when he is bored, and even laugh and scold when he is happy.

Only in front of the emperor and the concubine, he was so well-behaved and cute that he didn't even seem to understand what swear words meant.

Hu Guiyang didn't need to observe too much to hear, this time the scolding was only related to anger, he listened quietly, as if it had nothing to do with himself, he just happened to be standing in the audience opposite, and all he needed to do was to occasionally nod his head in agreement.

The more Wang Zhi scolded, the more boring he became, "Do you know who you are?" ”

"Jinyi Weinan Si Guifang Lieutenant, West Factory Office." Hu Guiyang immediately replied.

Wang Zhi gestured with his little finger, "A little lieutenant who doesn't even have a grade dares to investigate the death of the horse, even if it is Tong Feng, his position is better than yours...... What are you laughing at? ”

Although Hu Guiyang was always laughing, he sometimes laughed strangely, indicating that he had strange thoughts in his heart, "It's nothing, 'Little Captain', it sounds funny." ”

The four words that were originally normal became like stammering after being repeated by Hu Guiyang.

Wang Zhi was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled, and pointed at Hu Guiyang, "I really want to execute you on the spot, but I think it's too cheap for you." But you made me come up with an idea: those who are not interested in being promoted to become rich must be weird, and they should all be sent to remote places to fend for themselves, and the court can reduce a lot of trouble. ”

"But the official positions are those, and the money is not endless, and the people around him want to be promoted and make a fortune, and the factory officials may not be able to stand it."

Wang Zhi sat down and was stunned for a while, "Why did you turn here?" I ask you what qualifications do you have to investigate the death of Lou and Tong Feng? ”

"I'm not qualified, so I have to ask the factory to allow me to be qualified."

"Hey, it's too late to make a fuss." Wang Zhi was stunned for a while, "Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow morning, you go to Xichang, I will give you a quasi-word, you can do whatever you want, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions." ”

"Of course, without the permission of the factory officer, it would be difficult for me to move an inch in the capital, let alone investigate the case."

"Hey." Wang Zhi touched his smooth chin and looked at Hu Guiyang, "What have you found now?" ”

"There are no clues about Tong Feng's death. Regarding Lou Juma, his death must be related to Manhu Chun, and Manhu Chun is related to the used Jindan, so ......"

Wang Zhi waved his hand, "Okay, let's stop here, let's talk about it the day after tomorrow." ”

Wang straightened up to leave, and asked in a casual tone at the door, "What did you find out about the treatment of Inhumans?" ”

"The time is too short, everyone takes turns to take pills to delay the symptoms, and they haven't started looking for a cure yet."

"Well, this matter is also more important, there is not only one stranger in the army, Tong Feng, all of them have hidden dangers, if they can be removed, it is a great achievement, you have to be careful."

"Yes, after a while, after attracting more Inhumans, I will start trying various therapies."

"Xichang may be the only talented yamen inside and outside the imperial court, if you put it in another place, you will lose your official position at least and lose your life at worst, who will put up with your mouth?"

"It's my luck to meet the factory company." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"Work hard." Wang Zhi led people away.

It was dark at night, Hu Guiyang returned to the backyard, and was about to enter his room to rest, when a weak voice came from behind him, "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Layer Ran stood not far away, Hu Guiyang was stunned and didn't see how he appeared, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Wang Zhi personally promised to send someone to guard the door tomorrow, and there will be no disturbance here." ”

"Wang Zhi is a favorite eunuch in the palace, the power of the current dynasty is overwhelming, and the Ming Dynasty is down-and-out, his guarantee can only be taken seriously."

"There's really no way around this, even if it's the emperor, there are times when he dies suddenly, at least in the days when Wang Zhi is in power, it's safe here."

"Well, in fact, we don't believe in Wang Zhi, but you, because you are an emerging alien, and Wang Zhi is not."

"It's a heavy burden." Hu Guiyang smiled, and then yawned, indicating that he was sleepy.

Lin Layer Ran was not interested, "What I said in the inn still counts. ”

He had promised that if he could get the golden pill, he would be willing to serve Hu Guiyang, and although he had to share it with the other three, he was still willing to keep his promise. His service is different from others, and with each effort, he may become more old and one step closer to death.

"I know what I know." Hu Guiyang doesn't need this person's service for the time being, "Do you still have something?" ”

"Have you noticed anything in the backyard?"

"Which one do you say?"

"Zhao Aqi and Roche."

"They ......"

"Yes, there are only five Inhumans here, and any two of them will have an advantage when they join forces, so you have to be careful." After saying this, Lin Layer Ran turned around and walked away slowly.

Not long ago, it was Zhao Aqi who reminded Hu Guiyang to beware of strangers forming gangs.

There were five people in total, and after only a few days together, the relationship was already complicated.

Hu Guiyang simply didn't want to, pushed the door into the house, took off his boots, went to bed and slept in his clothes, even if the other four of them fought now, he had to make up for a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, when Hu Guiyang was about to go out, he saw the gatekeeper sent by Xichang, "Hehe, I guess it will be you, who let you live close?" ”

Shi Guida nodded coldly, "I won't be stationed in Zhao Mansion, four captains will be stationed in turn, and there are ten executioners, if you have any requirements, you can go directly to me." ”

"To your house?"

"At home."

"I'm not going to be sent away by servants again, am I?" Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"No, no matter what, the servant will take you directly to me." Shi Guida was still expressionless.

"Then I'm not welcome, maybe I'll go to the house to disturb me when I want."

Shi Guida seemed to be about to object, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he took a deep breath instead, and then said, "Welcome." ”

Shi Guida bowed his hand and was about to say goodbye, but Hu Guiyang followed him to the gate, "It's rare to have free today, I'm going to go outside the city, pay New Year's greetings to Second Uncle Sun, and go to the grave of my father-in-law by the way, do you want to go together?" ”

"I even changed my surname, you can go by yourself, don't mention me." Shi Guida arched his hand again and left in a hurry.

Hu Guiyang sighed lightly, called Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun, prepared the horses, brought silver taels and a few pieces of cloth, and went to the store to buy some New Year's food and paper money, and went out of the city to Sun's house.

Since the accident of the Zhao family, Sun Long sold the house, and the whole family moved to live in the countryside outside Dongcheng, the grave of Zhao Ying and his wife is not far from here, but none of the righteous sons are buried nearby, this is Sun Long's decision, he once said in public: "No one is worthy of the captain of the school." ”

The house in the countryside was big and empty, Sun Long stood outside the door on crutches to bask in the sun, saw the three people riding horses from a distance, and said loudly: "In this broad daylight, how can there be ghosts coming to the door?" ”

Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "Second uncle, it's not a ghost who comes to the door, it's you who has become a ghost, and I don't know yet." ”

"Phew, my life is very hard, and I am destined to watch the Zhao family die, so I will close my eyes."

As soon as the two met, they said cruel things to each other, but they were both happy in their hearts.

Hu Guiyang and the three of them dismounted, Sun Long didn't look at anything else, first touched the pocket containing silver, and then other gifts, "It's okay, you know to come and see me." I heard that you died in Yunyang, when did you come back? ”

"Hehe, half a month ago."

"Then let's go, I came to see me after returning to Beijing for so long, I didn't take my second uncle seriously."

"I'll go to my father's grave, burn the paper money and leave. Since the second uncle is not welcome, I will not enter the house, and I will take my things with me. ”

"People go, things stay, I still have a lot of affection for silver and the food in the city."

Sun Long snatched the reins and led the horse to the courtyard, Jiang and Zheng glanced at each other, and realized that they had found the source of Hu Guiyang's mouth poison.

Second Aunt Sun's body is tougher and more straightforward than the old man's, and as soon as she saw Hu Guiyang, she said: "Oh, I thought that Zhao Ying and his wife had no one to cultivate soil and burn paper, and they were going to spend a cold year, and you came too late." ”

"It's my fault, I'll be early next time."

Sun Long defended him instead, "It's good that this kid can come alive, with his stinky temper, how many days can he live in the West Factory?" ”

The old couple insisted on leaving Hu Guiyang for a meal, and then let him go to the cemetery to burn paper, during which he was open-mouthed, but he never mentioned another living Zhao family's righteous son.

The graves of Zhao Ying and his wife were cleaned up, and Hu Guiyang stood silently for a long time after burning the paper, and saw that it was almost too late to enter the city, so he returned to Sun's house to say goodbye.

"What's Yunyang Inhuman?" Sun Long asked.

Hu Guiyang glared at Jiang and Zheng, who were talkative, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, in short, they are a group of weirdos, but all of them are extraordinary." ”

"Hey, Zhao Ying fought with these people before his death, but you inherited it all." Sun Long thought that Yiren was a kind of charlatan, "Zhao Zhai doesn't even have a servant now?" ”

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun said everything, and Hu Guiyang said, "Why not?" These two are, now there are also gatekeepers, and I am looking for other servants. ”

"You don't have to look for it, I'll find it for you, and I'll send it over in a few days."

"Second uncle doesn't have to bother."

"Bullshit, I happen to know a few people here who are looking for work, if it's really troublesome, I won't care about your idle business."

It was impossible to refuse Sun Long, so Hu Guiyang had no choice but to say: "The Zhao Mansion is now a well-known murderous mansion in the city, and the timid people can't do it for long." ”

"Don't worry, others are afraid of Zhao Zhai, and the people I am looking for are definitely not afraid." Sun Long didn't explain much, "Let's go quickly, go home and prepare more money, and work for you, and the salary must be doubled." ”

"Hehe, Xichang pays for me."

"Then there's nothing to say, I'll find you ...... At least ten people. ”

"There aren't a total of ten idlers in this village, are they? If they are all the age of the second uncle and second aunt, I don't dare to invite, who will wait for whom when they arrive at Zhao's house? ”

Sun Long raised his crutches to catch people, and Hu Guiyang immediately got on his horse and fled from Sun's house.

"I didn't expect to solve the problem here." Hu Guiyang muttered on the way, he wanted to go back to the city to find Shen Qianyuan for help, but Second Uncle Sun had to recommend it, so he could only accept it.

Jiang Erpi said with a smile: "The old man is very interesting, but the countrymen he found may not be able to stay long in our Zhao family." ”

"Our Zhao family?" Hu Guiyang snorted, the person Sun Long found, even if he only stayed for an hour, he had to give enough money and send him away.

The three of them entered the city shortly before the city gate closed, and it was late at night when they returned to Zhao's house.

The captain of the West Factory, who was guarding the door, was conscientious, but he didn't feel that he was inferior to the master, so he stepped forward and said: "Captain Hu, you have a guest, and you refuse to sign up, and I will send you into the gatehouse, see or not?" ”

"It's rare to have a guest, of course I want to see you." Hu Guiyang thanked him, handed over the horse to Zheng Sanhun, and went to the gatehouse to check.

The visitor was a young man, and Hu Guiyang vaguely felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The young man got up, "My name is Guo Yu, and my father is Guo Juren." ”

"Oh, come to think of it, how did you get into the city?"

Guo Yu's expression darkened, "My father and that nameless stranger were killed." ”

Hu Guiyang was shocked, what he was most worried about was still happening, and he still had not obtained the right to investigate.
