The corners of the old Taoist Fan Dajian's mouth were slightly raised, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of true feelings, and his beard and hair were white. He was ashamed and showed a bit of a woman's gentleness.

Hu Guiyang saw such a face as soon as he opened his eyes. He was shocked. His hair stood up on his body. He hurriedly moved into the bed and asked nervously: "What happened?"

"One of them has come to surrender." The old Taoist whispered softly, as if he was talking to the patient.

Hu Guiyang woke up, "Where is the military household that caused trouble?"

"No one came, it is said that it has dispersed and everyone went back to their own houses."

Hu Guiyang rubbed his face with his hands and asked again: "When is it?"

“It’s just after noon.”

"Well. Only one person surrendered?"

“Yes, but…”

"Call eight of them are here and call me." Hu Guiyang closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Fan Dajian didn't speak anymore, tiptoed back, closed the door gently, and walked to the main hall in all directions. He had not slept all night, but was not very sleepy.

Hu Guiyang in the room actually couldn't sleep anymore. A crisis passed through. He was also surprised and a little proud.

The next wait was long, and Hu Guiyang regretted it a little. He pretended to be too calm and should let Fan Dajian come to report the situation frequently. Now, he had to continue pretending. Not only was he unable to understand the situation outside, but he was even hungry and was embarrassed to send someone to deliver food.

Near the evening, Yuan Mao brought wine, meat and food. Hu Guiyang got up, without saying a word, had a meal first, and then asked, "Are you all in this?"

"Five are here, three are still missing."

"Their family has been released?"

"Let it go."

"Well, until noon tomorrow, there will be a few to see me."

"What should the family do if the surrender does not come to the prisoner?"

"Let's talk about it then, they haven't suffered here, right?"

"I have food and drink, I don't bring torture instruments, and I don't suffer, but my family's business will definitely be delayed."

Military households cannot support a family by relying solely on money. They usually have to do some other business. The main male in the family loses freedom and has a great impact.

"That's fine. Let's see if the remaining three guys are filial." Hu Guiyang continued to drink and eat meat.

Shortly after dark, two more people came to the camp to surrender, thus exchanging their father and brother, leaving only one person who could not come, and his family had fewer family members, and the only one who was locked in the camp was his elder brother.

It is this last one, Hu Guiyang wants to meet him the most.

This man's surname is Zhou and famous, but he called himself "Little Zhou Cang". He had the deepest friendship with Guan Dazi. He was willing to be a slave and had always advanced and retreated together. He knew the most about Guan Dazi's various illegal things.

Hu Guiyang really wanted to ask Zhou Wang, when Guan Dazi was hit by a bird gun, was he also among the people who fled in a hurry?

Zhou Wang did not come to surrender, and Baihu Zhou Jing came early the next morning. Although both of them were surnamed Zhou, they were not relatives. Zhou Baihu came here to plead for the Guan family.

"The matter has reached this point, and the Guan family has become the target of public criticism. Everyone says that they are implicated by Guan Dazi. The Guan family is very troubled, afraid that if this continues, even the hereditary military post will be gone." Zhou Baihu stood up, took out a small package from his arms, and placed it respectfully on the table. He took Hu Guiyang more and more seriously.

Hu Guiyang took the package, weighed it twice, and smiled and said, "Guan Dazi has been in the capital for many years, so he will not be so poor, right?"

Zhou Baihu had long expected this question and immediately showed a bitter look. "Guan Dazi has done a lot of bad things about burning, killing, looting, but he ignored his family. All the gold, silver and jewelry he got were used to make friends with friends. The Guan family was very poor, and only this little money was borrowed from all over the place."

Hu Guiyang lifted a corner of the package, glanced inside, and curled his lips, "Half less."

"What?" Zhou Baihu was confused.

Hu Guiyang withdrew his finger, "I said the money was half less."

Zhou Baihu's face suddenly changed, "How could it be? This is what happened when the Guan family gave it to me..."

"Think about it again." Hu Guiyang stared at him.

Zhou Baihu's face changed several times, and finally realized it suddenly. He slapped his forehead, "I remember it, look at my memory." He took out a few more silver ingots from his arms and placed it next to the small package, and smiled and said, "The package is too big and not easy to carry..."

"It's okay, just remember it." Hu Guiyang was not angry and put the silver next to him. "Go back and tell the Guan family that everyone has prices, and each price has different prices. Guan Dazi has a reputation and only collects this little silver. I think it's embarrassing to ask them to prepare another five times."

"Five times?" Zhou Baihu took a deep breath, but he didn't expect that the captain of Jinyi was so greedy.

"Sent before noon."

"In less than half a day... this... can't be all done. Even if the Guan family sells houses and land immediately, it will be too late."

"Then let the Guan family send Xiao Zhoucang before noon, which can be worth the amount."

"Xiao Zhoucang is not a member of the Guan family..."

"Based on his friendship with Guan Dazi, we can't stand by death, right? In short, when we see Xiao Zhoucang, the matter will be over. From now on, I will not pursue the Guan family, and in the report I gave to my boss, the Guan family will not be involved." Hu Guiyang stretched out a hand and pressed it on the bank bag, indicating that the things were accepted.

Zhou Baihu stayed for a while and bowed to his goodbye.

Hu Guiyang's two partners were standing by the door and watching. As soon as Zhou Baihu left, Fan Dajian said excitedly: "You said that the money was half less, but you were actually cheating him, right? He is a businessman, and he is jealous of money, so he must draw a member of the market. You guessed it from the beginning, right? The Guan family claimed that Guan Dazi never cared about his family, but gave you silver, so you know they were guilty, right?"

Fan Dajian said "right, right?" and became more and more excited and somewhat admired.

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "It's not that complicated. I think the bag is quite big and there is not much money inside, so I guess Zhou Baihu took some privately from it."

"That's so simple?" Fan Dajian was disappointed, "Where is Xiao Zhou Cang? Can the Guan family be found?"

"I don't know. Anyway, no matter who comes to plead for, I will ask him to exchange it for Xiao Zhoucang. Let's talk about whether he succeeds or not. If you have such an opportunity, you must try it."

Fan Dajian was even more disappointed and said to Yuan Mao: "I thought he was confident."

Yuan Mao laughed and said to Hu Guiyang: "What if Xiao Zhoucang didn't come before noon?"

"That's it, let's put his brother home, and it's enough to have those seven people."

"These silver... let's put it away first." Fan Dajian hadn't made an investment for a long time. There was not much silver on the table, but he looked a little jealous.

Hu Guiyang pushed the silver to Yuan Mao, "In the afternoon, you will return it to the Guan family."

"Yes." Yuan Mao put away his silver bag.

Fan Dajian sighed, knowing that his suggestions would not be taken seriously, so he simply didn't speak.

Hu Guiyang also used the old Taoist place, "After lunch, you go out."

“Where to go?”

"Look for the fellow you know and check the cause of blind man Sun's death."

Fan Dajian was not willing to take on this task, but then he thought about it and replied: "Okay, if I don't come back before nightfall, you have to let Yuan Mao go to Daguandi Temple to find me and bring more people."

Hu Guiyang nodded with a smile.

Xiao Zhou Cangzhen came to surrender. He was only a short while away from Wushi. He came alone and broke into the police camp, shouting loudly that he wanted to change his brother.

His brother was not very grateful and saw his younger brother in the courtyard. He didn't even stop to say hello, and quickened his pace and ran out of the camp gate.

The eight people were all together this time and were taken to a side hall for interrogation by the Captain Jinyi.

According to Hu Guiyang's request, the eight people were not wearing shackles and locks, but their weapons were taken away. After the soldiers took them in, they immediately retreated. Opposite the eight people, the only ones were Hu Guiyang and Yuan Mao.

Eight people died in a rush, and they might be beaten to death by the two of them, but no one moved. This was a patrol camp, and the other party was the Jinyiwei. If something happened, no one could escape, and no one dared to shelter them.

Eight people stood in two rows, and some people hesitated for a moment, and they did not kneel down when they saw their accomplices.

Hu Guiyang looked at them with a smile, but did not ask them to kneel down. He suddenly pointed at someone, "I have an impression of you."

The man was startled and his face changed immediately.

Hu Guiyang pointed at four people in a row, "You were with Guan Dazi that day, and later they went to the swamp. I remember correctly, right?"

The four people admitted timidly.

Hu Guiyang looked at the other four people, moved his fingers around, and finally stopped, pointing to a short and strong man in the front row, "You are Xiao Zhoucang."

"It's your uncle, I." The man said in a rough voice, his face full of dissatisfaction. The other seven companions lowered their heads and prepared for the fun.

Yuan Mao took a step forward and was stopped by Hu Guiyang.

"You were not there when Guan Dazi died."

"Of course not here, otherwise, you can still sit here?" Xiao Zhoucang glared at him, becoming more and more fearless.

Hu Guiyang was not affected, but sighed lightly, "What a loyal little Zhou Cang. Unfortunately, there is no other person like you around Guan Dazi. At that time, he led more than a dozen or twenty people, all of them ran away. He ran very fast, and I couldn't catch up even if I wanted to."

The other seven people lowered their heads in shame.

Xiao Zhoucang said sternly: "A group of ungrateful people who are greedy for life and fear of death, bah, Brother Guan Bai has been friends with them for so many years."

The seven people were ashamed and still had some anger, but they did not dare to show it in front of the Jinyiwei, and only looked at Xiao Zhoucang with their eyes.

"But they are more filial to your father and brother than you. When they heard that their family members were arrested, they all came to the camp to surrender. Only you will come until the end and let your brother sit in the prison for half a day."

"We are no brothers for a long time, my only brother is Brother Guan."

"Shouldn't it be 'June Brother Guan'?"

The more Hu Guiyang was entangled in the details, the more angry Xiao Zhoucang became. Finally, he couldn't bear it. He cursed and rushed towards the case, wanting to fight against the Captain Jinyi.

Hu Guiyang had a bare hands, but Yuan Mao pulled it out immediately with a knife and shouted, "Bold!"

Xiao Zhoucang stopped, spat on the ground, and retreated back to the original place, "If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want. If you kill Brother Guan, then naturally someone will seek revenge on you."

"Haha, there is no need to 'someone' to come to me, I'll go find him." Hu Guiyang sat upright, putting a smile on his face, "I want to lead troops to attack Tiejiazhuang, who is willing to lead the way?"
