Chapter 124: A friend of a high official
One of Gao Hanying's nicknames is "heen". She not only has to protect nearly 100 subordinates, but also to protect Gaojia Village.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the village came, Gao Hanying's anger was imagined. He immediately decided to go to Tiejiazhuang to take revenge. On the way, he remembered sending Ku Sier back to the village to check the situation. If his sister was still alive, he would take her to Mojiazhuang to find Hu Guiyang.
Chen Qianyuan claimed that Gao Hanying was not Hu Guiyang, but Mo Jiazhuang, which seemed to make some sense, but without her own admission, no one knew her true thoughts.
Gao Hanying and her subordinates were ambushed halfway.
The ambushers were a team of officers and soldiers, with several times more numerous and arrows were raining, causing heavy casualties to the Gao bandits.
Gao Hanying only had a few subordinates escaped from the siege, and she became even more angry, so she lost her mind and insisted on going to Tiejiazhuang to take revenge.
This is a doomed revenge plan, and Gao Hanying herself understands this truth, so she said to more than 20 subordinates: "Those who follow me will die, and those who want to live will choose another way. Today, this general is not good at fighting for his strength or revenge, so that everyone in the world knows that I, Gao Hanying, are in the world!"
Nearly half of them said nothing and rode their horses away. The remaining half followed General Gao and rushed all the way to Tiejiazhuang.
They walked the path when they kidnapped Hu Guiyang last time, crossed the river and entered the village, first setting fires, then slaughtering them at will, regardless of whether they were men, women, and young or old.
The Big Iron Hammer brought people back, and the two groups met and fought in the village.
The ending is that Yang Jiuwen, the old monster behind the mountain, killed the female bandit Gao Shenqiu. There are many different opinions on the detailed process. Since Gao Hanying and his gang were destroyed, they could only be allowed to promote it. No matter how powerful Gao Hanying's chain gun was, they were all given to Yang Jiuwen's long crutches, short axes and iron fans as foils.
Most rumors in the world are like this, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. When Hu Guiyang came to Tongzhou, the rumors had become that Gao Hanying and his gang were overestimating their abilities and wanted to rob Tiejiazhuang. As a result, they were hit by themselves.
Hu Guiyang left Mojiazhuang yesterday and claimed that he wanted to go back to the capital. When saying goodbye, he promised Chen Qianyuan that he would never publicly denounce Da Tiehammer and others, and that all the matters in the world will be solved by the world.
Chen Qianyuan also felt that a Jinyiwei was not suitable to stay in Mojiazhuang, so he agreed to Hu Guiyang return to the city to avoid the limelight.
Hu Guiyang and the old Taoist Fan Dajian left together, entered the city early in the morning, and stayed for less than an hour, called Yuan Mao, and then left the city from Chaoyang Gate and headed straight to Tongzhou City.
Yuan Mao returned to the city for several days and was very happy to see Hu Guiyang safely return, but he was unable to provide much good news.
"The West Factory will not help. I didn't see the factory. His subordinates said to me, 'Hu Guiyang promised to close the case within one year, so let's see it later.'" Yuan Mao ran around for several days and found nothing. As for the Nanshi of the Jinyiwei, without the leadership of Yuan Bin and Hu Guiyang, he could not even enter the gate.
"Lai Wangxi and the others have not made any progress yet. It is not easy to improve the bird gun. It may take one or two years to achieve results."
"Also, Shiguida, Liang Xiu, and Zuoyu from the West Factory have all left the capital and started to investigate the whereabouts of He Baiwan and the Wen family." Yuan Mao shook his head. All of these teams are strong and powerful, and they are much stronger than the three of them.
"I remember there is another team in the West Factory, led by Wang Zhi himself."
"I've inquired about it. Your brother Shi Guida is quite skillful. He actually gained the trust of the factory and combined the two teams into one."
Shi Gui took over the power established by the Zhao family over the years from the beginning of his early years, and this alone was enough to be appreciated by Wang Zhi.
Hu Guiyang smiled and said nothing. Seeing that Tongzhou City was about to arrive, he asked, "I've found out clearly, Guan Dazi's home is here?"
Fan Dajian nodded, "I can't make a mistake. Guan Dazi is a little famous and easy to inquire. His military origin is in Tongzhou Guards and his family is here."
Yuan Mao just heard about what happened outside the city and couldn't help but feel confused, "Guan Dazi is dead, everyone is almost forgetting him, what else should I check?"
"Jianghu forgot him, his family doesn't, I have to take a look."
Yuan Mao didn't care. Fan Dajian fired a gun and killed Guan Dazi, and felt a little nervous, "I will only go to Tongzhou City with you, but I won't go to the Guan family."
The Guan family is in an alley next to the city wall. Most of the neighbors are military households. Fan Dajian said he would not go, but he would not go, leading three horses to wait at the entrance of the alley.
Yuan Mao felt that it was not appropriate for Hu Guiyang to show up, so he advised him to stay, "What do you want to know, I'll go and inquire."
"I want to know...who is his best friend, and I want to know what's going on at his family."
Yuan Mao went for more than half an hour, and after he came back, he said, "Guan Dazi's family is here, but he rarely goes home. He lives outside the city all year round, and his family is so poor that he is very happy. When he dies, his family is very happy because this will allow his son to attack his post."
Hu Guiyang was silent, and Fan Dajian smiled and said, "My gun not only eliminates harm for the people, but also eliminates harm for the Guan family."
"He should have many friends, right?" Hu Guiyang asked.
Yuan Mao shook his head, "All of them are friends. They don't even come to pay their respects after their death. There is only one Zhou Baihu, who is considered a friend of the Guan family. He takes good care of Guan Dazi and probably has benefited him a lot."
"Then go and meet this Zhou Baihu."
Hu Guiyang and Fan Dajian found a hotel to settle the horses, and then asked for a banquet among the customers, waiting for Yuan Mao to come back. It was here that they heard a lot of rumors about Gao Hanying.
Yuan Mao was good at finding people and was better at hiring people. In the evening, he brought Zhou Baihu.
Zhou Jing, a hundred-household household, was in her forties, and could not see any sense of a troop from head to toe. In fact, he was an unnatural businessman, owned a shop on the dock, had a good business and a good income.
As soon as he entered the room, he bowed and said, "I have heard the name of the Chief Hu for a long time. I am very honored to see him today."
Hu Guiyang said a few polite words, and the four of them sat down. Hu Guiyang toasted. Zhou Baihu reached out to cover the wine glass, "To be honest, I don't dare to drink the wine from the Jinyi Captain. If you have anything to do with Hu Guiyang, you might as well say it first."
"I'm here for Guan Dazi." Hu Guiyang put down his wine glass.
"It turns out that way. Indeed, I have a lot of contact with the Guan family, and I don't hide it. Guan Dazi is in Tongzhou Guards. Whenever there are big and small things, I will take care of him. Every New Year's Day, he will give me some money. I know how this money comes from, but I can't control it. Guan Dazi will not listen to me. The high-ranking officials are always wild and difficult to tame. As long as they do not escape from their hometowns and do not rebel, their superiors will turn a blind eye. If Captain Hu wants to hold him accountable, I have no objection, so I will start with my hundred households and investigate the commander of Tongzhou Guards."
The chaos in the military guards is no longer new. Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "Even if we have to hold people accountable, it's not my little Jinyi Captain to take charge. Zhou Baihu doesn't have to be nervous, I just have to talk to you for a few words."
Zhou Baihu asked vigilantly: "Are you really just a chat?"
"really."
Fan Dajian, who was accompanying him, said: "Person Hu is in the Jinyiwei Nanshi, so how can he care about the other people's business here?"
Zhou Baihu felt a little relieved, moved his palm away, and picked up the wine glass, "Since that's the case, I'll do it first."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhou Baihu opened up the conversation, "I was not surprised at all by Guan Dazi's death outside. His family had prepared for a long time, and maybe he was relieved. This guy is really not a good thing. He did all the bad things and spent all his money on making friends. He rarely supplemented his family. I took some money for him, but what I did for him was enough to behead him. Do you think I would? Of course I don't want to, but there was no way. He held the silver in one hand and the knife in the other, and there were a few vicious demons around him. I had to collect it if I didn't want to."
"You are a hundred households and have a higher position than Guan Dazi, right?" Fan Dajian said.
"It's useless. He chopped me up with one knife and still became a hero. What should I do? What should I do with my family? The evil people will be beaten by evil people, and I can't afford to offend me... Look at my broken mouth. Since Hu is in the Jinyiwei, killing him is to eliminate harm for the people, and he is definitely not a bad person."
"Do you know I killed him?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile, not pointing out that the real murderer was Fan Dajian.
Zhou Baihu was a little embarrassed, "This is no secret. Guan Dazi's accomplices looked for people everywhere these days, wanting to... avenge Guan Dazi."
"Avenge?" Yuan Mao was surprised, "They still want to sue Captain Hu if they have any complaints?"
When he found that the other party was not aware of this, Zhou Baihu was even more embarrassed. "I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, those people were having a good time, but no one paid attention to them. Who doesn't know Guan Dazi's character? Besides, the Master Hu is the Jinyiwei, so they can't get a result, and they will calm down in a few days."
The few people chatted for a while, not only Zhou Baihu, but even Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian became more and more confused. They didn't understand what Hu Guiyang wanted to ask. He said one by one, and it was really like chatting.
Hu Guiyang did not just come to chat with someone, but when he was almost drunk, he asked the matter: "Do you have any special friends in Guan Dazi?"
"If you want to talk about friends, Guan Dazi has many, either the same military family as him or the so-called heroes outside. I don't know what is special?"
"The kind who knows magic." Hu Guiyang wanted to find out the connection between Guan Dazi and He Baiwan. After all, he had received a letter from Wen Jiazhuang, and he had to investigate and understand this matter.
Zhou Baihu thought about it carefully for a while, "This... is hard to say. Although Guan Dazi has many friends, I don't know many of them. If you want to know magic, Guan Dazi has admired Guan Gong since he was a child because of his surname Guan. He often goes to Daguandi Temple to burn incense. He is very familiar with the Taoist priests there."
"Blind Sun?" Fan Dajian immediately said a name.
"Yes, it's him, the blind Taoist Sun Futing, the first mage in Tongzhou, he has more dates with Guan Dazi."
Fan Dajian snorted disdainfully and was about to introduce the blind man Sun, but he heard the footsteps outside, followed by a loud voice, "Hu Guiyang, you are very brave. You dare to come to Tongzhou and come out quickly and be tied up!"
All four people in the room were shocked. Yuan Mao stood up, pushed the door out to check the situation, and came back soon, looking even more surprised. "It was the officers and soldiers who said they came to capture Captain Hu at the order of the governor and the governor Chen Kui."
Others were not doing well yet, Zhou Baihu was so scared that his face turned pale, he slid off the chair, and sat on the ground, "Have Guan Dazi's accomplices even bought them? Hu Xiaowei, you have killed me."
