Chapter 129 Confessions
Hu Guiyang actually wanted to attack Tiejiazhuang. Yuan Mao was more surprised than everyone. After Xiao Zhoucang and the eight others left, he asked in confusion: "Didn't Tiejiazhuang be handed over to Chen Qianyuan, Mo Ai and the others to deal with it?"
"They use the means of martial arts and lakes to deal with it. I will use other methods to help each other and not interfere with each other." Hu Guiyang smiled. His suggestion just now was not responded, but he was not in a hurry. He asked someone to take eight soldiers and bandits down and lock them in the same house, so that they could discuss it carefully.
Yuan Mao stared at Hu Guiyang, "This has nothing to do with pursuing He Baiwan, Gaojiazhuang. Do you still want to avenge Gaojia Village and they are kind to you?"
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Gao Hanying, Gaojia Village owes me favors. I don't owe them. Once they die, I have nowhere to collect these two debts."
Yuan Mao didn't understand even more, "Then why...you...can't you wait for a while and let Chen Qianyuan take action first?"
Hu Guiyang still shook his head, "Jianghu talks about friendship, fights over and over again, and the final result is to eliminate grudges with a smile. Gaojia Village is the same as Guan Dazi. As long as people die, they will be forgotten soon."
"Our mission is to arrest He Baiwan, what are we doing in the world?"
"Attacking Tiejiazhuang is fighting He Baiwan."
Yuan Mao was quite confident in his intelligence, but he did not understand Hu Guiyang's words, and even didn't know where to ask.
Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "You have seen all the conspiracies that He Baiwan played in the capital. His methods will not change. He always starts by pretending to be a god and a ghost, so there are Wen's Jindan and Zhao Aqi. Then they sow discord. The Big Iron Hammers got into the trap. In order to get the Jindan, they even slaughtered the village to win favors. If this continues, the world will become more and more chaotic, and He Baiwan will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"Wait, you just said that the disputes between the world will always make you laugh and eliminate your grudges, but now you say that it will become more and more chaotic..."
"It is impossible for He Mian to instigate the grudges with a smile, but this does not conform to He Mian's plan. He will continue to fan the flames and make the world more and more chaotic."
"But if you attack Tiejiazhuang, the world will become more and more chaotic. The only difference is to lead the disaster to yourself."
"Yes, that's it." Hu Guiyang smiled even happier.
Yuan Mao was not happy at all. He never liked this smile, and now he was even more annoyed, "You'd better give me a more reasonable reason."
"I said, this is a confrontation with He Baiwan."
"Who can make a bigger wave in the competition?"
"Who is more powerful in the world of the world?" Hu Guiyang put away his smile. He believed that he knew He Baiwan and Wenjiazhuang more than anyone else. "Don't you see through it? He Baiwan's actions were to prove that he had this ability. In the end, everyone had to ask him to calm the trouble. He also talked about the case of the demon fox. He asked someone to pretend to be a demon fox. He used a trick to provoke all kinds of troubles. He made the so-called "son of the ancestor god" in and outside the palace. In the end, his people had everything in hand, and even the emperor wanted to ask him for help."
Yuan Mao was not entirely clear about what happened in the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that Hu Guiyang was right. Even his old master Yuan Bin arrested those who pretended to be a god for half his life, but he was in danger of being safe in his later years and once believed in the "Son of God".
"The more chaotic the world is, the more trust those who quell the chaos will be." Yuan Mao seemed to have realized something.
"Yes, I don't believe that He Baiwan and Wenjiazhuang's purpose is just to disrupt the world. They must have greater ambitions. It is still related to the palace. So, instead of waiting for He Baiwan to 'pacify', we might as well start first."
Yuan Mao was both sober and confused. After a while, he said, "What million do you want to be another one?"
Hu Guiyang blinked his eyes, "Yes."
Yuan Mao was silent for a while and said coldly: "Even if Xiao Zhoucang and others agree to lead the way, do you have any soldiers?"
"No, you can borrow troops."
"Haha, you are really... you are becoming more and more whimsical. Who can lend you soldiers? Who dares to lend you soldiers?"
"Wait, maybe someone will."
"What about the charge? Gaojia Village is full of refugees, and Gao Hanying and his gang are even more famous bandits. Killing them by the Big Hammer is a merit or failure to the government."
"I'm thinking about it."
Yuan Mao couldn't stand Hu Guiyang's indifferent attitude and shook his head and said, "I'll go to Guan's house to send money, you can think about it carefully."
Hu Guiyang had nothing to think about. He practiced the fingering technique of Tianji and the Fire God Technique alone for a while. He had already had about the time to touch him. He went to see Xiao Zhoucang and others, and then called a clerk in the camp to stay outside and listen to the sound and write.
This is a temporary cell, an empty room with eight people locked up. They had just quarreled and probably had a fight with injuries on their faces. Xiao Zhoucang stood on one side, while the others stood on the other side, glaring at each other.
Hu Guiyang pushed the door and turned a blind eye to the obvious tension, and said directly to Xiao Zhoucang: "Have you thought about it?"
"Bah, I'm not the kind of guy who sells friends and seeks honor. You've found the wrong person."
"What a pity, I want to have a good talk with you. You are also a military family. You are not better than being a robber? Is Big Hammer your friend?"
"certainly."
"Guan Dazi has a good relationship with Da Tie Hammer?"
"They are friends of life and death."
"Guan Dazi was killed by me. Is the Big Hammer going to take revenge?"
"Is this a question? He has already found you, didn't you? You escaped by chance."
"Haha, my luck is his misfortune, so you should understand that I will attack Tiejiazhuang and cut off the big iron hammers. You are willing to lead the way, it is great. If you have a lot of credit, I will still send troops. And you will be treated as a big iron hammer's accomplice. He is a death sentence, and you will at least be sent to the frontier."
"Bao, I'm afraid of your threat? If it weren't for the sake of the Guan family... If it weren't for the sake of saving my brother, I wouldn't have surrendered. If you have the ability, you'd kill me, and I would lose in a blink of an eye."
Xiao Zhoucang became more and more arrogant, but Hu Guiyang was less and less concerned. He always had a smile on his face and even yawned, "It seems that you regard yourself as a hero in the world."
"Isn't this nonsense? I'm a hero, so what about a military household? The person who receives the monthly salary is my brother, not me, and I don't like that little money."
"Hero, right?" Hu Guiyang turned to the soldier outside and said, "Come on the shackles and put them on this hero."
The soldiers were obeyed, and Xiao Zhoucang looked fierce and cursed in a low voice. He suddenly jumped to Hu Guiyang. He saw clearly that the follower with a knife was not there, and the soldiers outside had no time to enter the house, so he had a chance to knock down the target.
Hu Guiyang was prepared for a long time, but it was not him who came forward to take the call, but several other "inmates". They kept standing beside him, watching the Jinyi Captain "bribing" Xiao Zhou Cang, and they were both panicked and anxious. When they saw the opportunity, they rushed up to grab the merits immediately.
As soon as the soldiers outside came in to stop him, they were stopped by Hu Guiyang.
Xiao Zhou Cang was very powerful, and after all, he was only one person. He could not beat seven accomplices. He quickly fell to the ground and was held firmly by someone, cursing himself constantly.
One person looked up and said, "Mr. Hu, if you want to find someone to lead the way to Tiejiazhuang, it may not necessarily be Xiao Zhoucang, we all recognize the way."
"You?" Hu Guiyang showed a suspicious expression, "Do you guys have a deep friendship with the Big Iron Hammer?"
"Shen, I used to drink together and I was very familiar with Tiejiazhuang." said one person.
"It's deeper than Xiao Zhou Cang? I've heard that he is the brother Guan Dazi has the deepest relationship and should be familiar with Da Tie Hammer." Hu Guiyang still didn't believe it.
Xiao Zhoucang was still scolding, someone stuffed his mouth with a rag, and then said, "What is Xiao Zhoucang? He is just a rude man who runs errands for Guan Dazi. We are the brothers who have been born and died with Guan Dazi. Every time we robbed on the road, we followed Xiao Zhoucang to watch things from behind."
Another person said: "Even the big iron hammer is more familiar with us. The things we stole were placed in Tiejiazhuang. His house has a cellar, which is for us to use. Everyone has a share, but Xiao Zhoucang does not. Guan Dazi occasionally gave him some, thinking that he was a loyal dog."
Xiao Zhoucang struggled even more intensely.
"So that's the case." Hu Guiyang showed a sudden enlightenment, "Since that's the case, why is Xiao Zhoucang so arrogant, as if he was about to eat me? I thought he was Guan Dazi's right-hand man."
The other seven people denied it, one of them said, "What right-hand man is he? In fact, he wanted the goods that Guan Dazi had stored in Tiejiazhuang. He thought that if a quarrel, he would be considered as Guan Dazi's heir, but we would not admit that there was no him when he was robbed, and there would be no him when he was divided. Guan Dazi had already agreed that everyone would share the goods equally and leave some for the Guan family."
"I don't care about these things, I just want to know who knows Tiejiazhuang best?"
The seven people rushed to recommend themselves. If Hu Guiyang had won them at the beginning, these people would not accept it immediately. However, when they saw Hu Guiyang trying to win over Xiao Zhoucang, they were anxious.
When the soldier came back, he put shackles on Xiao Zhoucang and took out the rag from his mouth.
Xiao Zhoucang started cursing again, saying that Hu Guiyang was a lackey in the court, and accusing others of being greedy for life and fear of death. The more ruthless he scolded, the stronger the others were, the more confident they wanted to help the Jinyi Captain.
When Xiao Zhoucang was tired of scolding, he sat on the ground and hummed. Hu Guiyang called the clerk outside in and asked, "Have you remembered it all?"
The clerk held a thick stack of paper. Although it was just a brief note, the general meaning was not bad at all.
Hu Guiyang ordered the seven people to write their names one by one and press the handprints. They were a little confused. Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, you are abandoning the darkness and turning to the light and serving the court more. You must have a certificate, right?"
The seven people were a little relieved. Most of them could not write, so the clerk wrote their names and they pressed their handprints.
Everything was right, Hu Guiyang said, "You stay here for a while first, and after I order my troops, we will go to Tiejiazhuang together."
After leaving the room, the clerk stepped forward and said, "Person Hu, your move is powerful enough, but I have to remind you that there are rules for interrogation. We... are not in compliance with the rules and cannot report to the top."
Hu Guiyang put away his tired confession and smiled and said, "Why do you want to report to the top? I want to keep it myself."
The clerk laughed apologetically and felt relieved.
Fan Dajian, who had already gone out to inquire about the cause of Sun's death, has returned. He does not keep his pace, nor does he talk to others. He drags Hu Guiyang to the side, saying, "It's a problem."
"Is Blind Sun dead stranger?"
"I'll talk about blind man Sun later. On the way back, I saw a eunuch entering the city, like a man around the factory man. He was here to find you. Look at his bad face, I'll come back to report the news. You can find a way."
