Chapter Eleven: Claw Scars
(Please collect and recommend)
That day, when Hu Guiyang saw Wang Zhi coming out of the house, the fifth brother and others were searching for the will in the martial arts hall. The third brother had not come back outside, so he gained trust.
But no matter how urgent the situation is, the lazy Hu Guiyang always has to sleep. "Maybe you are all characters in my dreams. I can only go back to reality after falling asleep. There I am the young master of a wealthy family. I eat, drink, have fun all day, and have no worries. I have read a few idle books during my pastime, so I dream of you."
Hu Guiyang was just as good as Hu Guiming and Hu Guida did not force him to stay in the front hall. They went to find trustworthy brothers, set up ambush outside, and prepared to get people.
This sleep was deep and sweet. When Hu Guiyang woke up, he felt that everything was not real in a trance, as if he was forced to enter another dream.
The person who woke him up was Hu Guida.
Hu Guiyang quickly woke up and found that it was still dark. Hu Gui hadn't lit the lights, and his voice trembled, "Brother Sanliu, why are you sleeping in the coffin?"
"Anyway, there is no need to be a good father for the time being... I've caught it?" Hu Guiyang sat up and twisted his neck.
Hu Guida nodded in the dark, "You must not guess who it was just caught."
Hu Guiyang supported his hands and jumped out of the coffin, "The answer is in your mouth. Why should I guess? Tell me who it is."
"Little Peony."
Hu Guiyang was wearing shoes. When he heard this answer, he was stunned and then suddenly realized, "It was she who killed Xiaorou!"
Zhao Ying brought back not only forty godsons from Duan Tengxia, but also more than a dozen girls. The names were even more casual, all of which were flower names, with a small character in front of them.
Nowadays, most girls are married, and there are only three left. Because of their ugly appearance, they have been staying in the house as masturbation girls. One of them is called "Little Mudan". On the night Xiaorou was killed, she also slept in the cross-yard.
Hu Guiyang hurriedly put on his shoes, but he didn't take off his clothes, so he stepped outside and ran, "Where did you catch them?"
"We were ambushed there at the entrance of the alley. When we saw someone walking out secretly, we thought it was a man at first, but when we stopped him and asked, we found out that it was Xiao Mudan."
"She admitted it?" Hu Guiyang asked while running.
Hu Guida followed closely behind, "I admit it and even started arguing with my fifth brother."
Hu Guiyang speeded up his pace, "I really didn't expect... It's a pity that Xiaorou is, why did she kill Xiaorou?"
Hu Gui grew up short, but his legs were fast, and he kept following Brother Sanliu. "I was in a hurry to come back to report the message, but I didn't hear it. Brother Sanliu, you should really go to ambush with us."
"As soon as I get sleepy, I can fall asleep even when I lie on the ground..."
The two ran out of the gate and ran along the alley. They heard shouts from afar, as if a fight had begun.
"How many of you?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise.
"The fifth brother found four more people, and I was six. It's so strange. Haven't you caught Xiao Mudan yet?"
It seems that this is true. Under the moonlight, several black shadows at the entrance of the alley are forming a ball.
A rough maid who is usually unknown is evenly matched with the five adopted sons taught by Zhao Ying!
"Fifth Brother!" Hu Gui shouted from afar.
The answer to him was not Hu Guimeng, but another old and loud voice, "Who, I don't sleep in the middle of the night and have been fighting and making fun, have you been asked? Lao Wu, it's you... Oh my mother!"
The person who spoke was Sun Long. His house was at the entrance of the alley, adjacent to Hu Guimeng's house, opposite to him was a teahouse. He was sleeping soundly and woke up by the sound outside. He opened the door and came out to check. As soon as he said a few words, he saw a black shadow flying towards him. He couldn't see it in secret. He felt that his body was extremely huge, not human, not beast, and he couldn't help but call him mom.
Hu Guiyang and Hu Gui arrived, closer to Sun's house, and saw a large group of black shadows falling from the sky. The target was not Sun Long. After landing, they rushed directly to the people fighting at the entrance of the alley.
"Demon Fox!" Sun Long fell to the ground and finally saw clearly that the thing was covered in fur, like an amazingly large dog.
Hu Guida was running fast, but at this time he couldn't help but slow down, "There is such a demon fox!"
"Idiot, go and call people quickly. We are going to make great contributions." Hu Guiyang was not afraid, and even became excited, ran faster, shouting loudly: "Fifth brother, stop the demon, don't let him go!"
The black shadow was even more powerful than expected. He waved his waist and rushed into the battle group, forcing Hu Guimeng and others to retreat step by step. Xiao Mudan, who was originally surrounded, finally escaped.
"The demon is amazing!" Hu Gui said loudly, feeling the sword wind was so fierce that he could not get close to him at all, but he could see clearly that he was just a tall man wearing a fur robe, not a demon fox.
Hu Guiyang had no weapons in his hand, so he bent down and touched it a few times, grabbed a stone with both hands, "Hold on for a while, my brother Sanliu asked someone to go."
Hu Guida was indeed calling people, running in the alley while shouting: "Where are you here! Come and catch the demon fox!"
There are many adopted sons of the Zhao family living in Guanyin Temple Alley. They were allowed to go home tonight. They were sleeping soundly and were all called up. They took their knives out to check the situation. Some people didn't even have time to wear their coats.
Sun Long understood and turned around and went home. He quickly went out with a knife, ran a few steps, screamed a few times, suddenly stopped, turned the knife head and handed it to Hu Guiyang, "Go."
Hu Guiyang had no time to make fun of him, threw away the stones in his hand, took the knife, and wanted to join the battle group.
Lao Wu Hu Gui said loudly: "Clog the retreat, block the retreat."
The enemy is too fierce, and Hu Guimeng doesn't want his brothers to suffer casualties. Seeing that there are more and more helpers, he will soon be able to win by relying on more and more.
Xiao Mudan and the "demon fox" who came to rescue obviously thought so. They took a few steps and forced Hu Guimeng and five others to retreat. Then they turned around and ran away. Xiao Mudan was in front and the "demon fox" broke the back.
A adopted son chased him too tightly, and the "demon fox" turned around and waved a knife. The adopted son was hit and fell down screaming.
"Brother 26!" Hu Guimeng hurriedly went up to check and found that the second sixth brother Hu Gui was stabbed in the shoulder, and it was not serious. Only then did he feel relieved, but after such a short time, the target had already run away.
After Hu Guiyang joined the battle group, he saw it clearly and held a knife to chase him closely, but the two men were too fast and familiar with the terrain. They climbed over the wall and gradually lost their traces.
"Who, stop!" someone shouted behind him.
Hu Guiyang stopped and then realized that he had gone deeper alone, with no brothers behind him, but a team of officers and soldiers patrolling the night.
"I'm chasing the demon fox, have you seen it?" Hu Guiyang asked.
The demon foxes frequently came out at night last year and killed many people. How could the officers and soldiers never heard of it? They were shocked when they heard it, "Here they come out again?"
"Yes, but he is not a demon, he is a human, he has a knife in his hand."
"Hey, don't come over, put down the knife in your hand first." The officers and soldiers showed off their weapons one after another.
"I am a vanguard of Yanshan Avant-garde household. It is your great achievement to help me catch the demon fox."
"I'm a monster for a while, but who knows the truth? Put down your knife and surrender. When you approach the imperial city, even if you are a thousand households, you must not be arrogant."
Hu Guiyang was stunned, and then he realized that he had chased him from Guanyin Temple Hutong to Baofang Hutong. It was indeed not far from the imperial city and closer to the Dongchang Yamen Office.
There were more than a dozen officers and soldiers, with swords and guns in their hands. Hu Guiyang knew that he was outnumbered, so he slowly put down the sword in his hand and said, "My adoptive father is Zhao Ying, a hundred household of the Jinyiwei Nansi, the eldest brother Hu Guishen, and the fifth brother Hu Guimeng are all Jinyiwei..."
The officers and soldiers rushed forward and took Hu Guiyang first.
An hour later, Sun Long came to the police station to take Hu Guiyang away, "Will you be fine if you mentioned my name long ago?"
"I was nervous and forgot my second uncle." Hu Guiyang didn't know that the team of soldiers was Sun Long's acquaintance. "How is the family? Brother Erliu is fine? Where is the demon fox?"
"Hu Guigang was slightly injured. It's okay. Unfortunately, the demon fox didn't catch it, but it doesn't matter. Finally, there is the clue of Xiao Mudan, which is no longer a headless case. I really didn't expect that Xiao Mudan! It turned out to be Xiao Mudan! That child is usually so honest. I haven't seen her talk. He actually colluded with Xichang in secret and knew martial arts. It's really... I'm really blind."
It was just dawn and there were no people on the street. When talking about the West Factory, Sun Long lowered his voice.
Hu Guiyang walked silently for a while, "Little Mudan may not have defected to the West Factory. I saw them heading to the East Factory, and her martial arts skills were definitely not practiced in one day. She had followed someone to secretly practice martial arts long before the establishment of the West Factory."
Sun Long was shocked, "What's the matter? Old Zhao is just a hundred households. What treasures are worth betraying even a maid? For some reason, I can't figure it out. I... I'll go back and discuss with the old woman. Let's go out of the city to live for a while. Old Zhao was restless before his death and caused trouble after his death."
Guanyin Temple Hutong has returned to peace, and the two separated at the entrance of the alley. Hu Guiyang said, "Second Uncle, I owe you a knife."
"Forget it, if I really want it, the Police Office will return it to me. You should go home quickly."
Hu Guiyang walked towards Zhao's house with great worries, like a child who accidentally pierced a hornet's nest. He was obviously injured, but he did not dare to go home to complain.
He felt that he might have made a big mistake.
The gate of Zhao's house was closed. Hu Guiyang pushed the door open and walked around the screen wall. He found that the front yard was empty. He went to the front hall to take a look, but there was no one. He was puzzled, so he went to the back yard again.
The gateway of the east cross-yard was closed, and the corridor of the west wing was filled with Zhao Ying's adopted son.
Hu Guiyang was puzzled and suddenly woke up. His heart suddenly sank and ran over.
When the adopted sons saw him, they gave way.
The third brother Hu Guijing, who was wronged by Hu Guiyang last night, was locked up here.
Hu Guiyang made a fuss just to lure the betrayer out to inform him. He succeeded, but the result was not entirely within his expectations, and the matter became even more confusing.
He stood at the door and was stunned.
Hu Guijing did not know martial arts. After being closed, the door was locked and there was no other brother to take care of him. Now, he doesn't need to take care of him.
The fat third child was lying in the middle of the house, with four sharp claws on his chest, and his flesh and blood were blurred under his crotch.
"It was the demon fox who killed someone, it must be him. I actually... let him run away." The old fifth Hu Guimeng was very sad and angry.
"It may not be him." Hu Guiyang's heart sank to the bottom, "That man uses a knife, not a beast claw."
Everyone inside and outside the house looked at Hu Guiyang, and he coughed and said, "I am responsible for the third brother's affairs."
