The Taoist priest at the door rose up and rushed towards Hu Guiyang, but before his feet were off the ground, he fell to the ground and smashed heavily with a bang.
"I have experience, don't move first, let alone hurry, just lie down for a while." Hu Guiyang advised that he had been manipulated by Tianji Technique and his muscles and bones were sore for several days.
The Taoist priest was about to get up, and Shang Lu on the bed spoke, "Listen to Captain Hu, he will not harm you."
The Taoist priest stopped moving and lay quietly, trying to restore his feelings for his body.
Qian Gong sat up under the window, feeling confused, but he didn't say a word.
Hu Guiyang had to explain a few words, coughed, and pointed to the body above his head, "Wen Family."
"Assassin?" Shang Lue slowly got out of bed, and found that he was fine, and felt a little relieved.
"Assassin, kidnapping, anyway, it's not a problem now."
"I'm sorry, Captain Hu guarded all night." Shang Lu bowed.
"The duty should be fulfilled." Hu Guiyang returned the favor and decided not to mention He Sanjie'er.
The Taoist priest finally stood up with a pale face.
Shang Lu took a few steps slowly, looked up at the body, frowned slightly, and Hu Guiyang immediately said, "Please change the room by Lord Shaobao."
"Okay, you... clean up." Shang Lu ordered Taoist priests and Qian Gong to follow Hu Guiyang out of the house.
In the courtyard, He Wu was practicing boxing. He didn't know Shang Lu, nor did he care who the old man was. While fists and feet were flying, he said to Hu Guiyang: "It's all your fault. The short man scolded me all night."
Crazy He Wu was talking about his dream, but Hu Guiyang ignored him and took Lord Shaobao to his house, closed the door and asked, "Did you understand?"
Shang Lu nodded, "It's actually very simple. The four words "Ge Yung comes" must come from "Lie Zi", and the original text says, "Ge Yung is 400,000 miles east of Zhongzhou, and the man grows one foot and five inches long."
"Yes." Hu Guiyang still couldn't hear the reason.
"'There are people who call it Zhengren at the Northeast, which is nine inches long. There is a Ming Ling in the south of Jing..." Shang Lu recited downwards.
If the other party was not the Young Master Shaobao, Hu Guiyang really wanted to shut up. He usually admired scholars, but he was not interested in listening to memorizing an ancient text that he had never even read.
Shang Lu was very excited and seemed to have forgotten that there was a body lying in his room. He Wu, who was outside, exclaimed, but he didn't care and continued to recite it until this sentence: "'... come and stay."
"If Lord Shaobao can't remember it, forget it." Hu Guiyang thought Shang Lu had forgotten the original text.
Shang Lu smiled and shook his head, "You don't understand yet?"
"I read very little and can't understand 'Zi'."
"Haha, this is not 'Zi Yue'... I will recite it again."
"No need, Lord Shaobao will just say something. The more I listen, the more confused I am."
"How many words are there from 'a person growing one foot and five inches' to 'a staying in a place'?"
"This... is more than one hundred words." Hu Guiyang had never checked it.
"It's about seventy-five words. I don't have the original book in my hand. There are memories or missing, but it won't be much different."
"Sir, I have a good memory..." Hu Guiyang slapped his forehead, "The 'people come' is here!"
"Well, east of Zhongzhou, there are about 75 words from 'man' to 'come', and this is the location of Danyuan."
Hu Guiyang was stunned and said for a while: "Sir Young Master, do you think it's simple?"
"It's useless to play a little word, if the superiors cannot serve the court, and the subordinates cannot appease the people, Yuan Jie...ah, it's better not to mention it."
Hu Guiyang didn't want to mention it, "So the meaning of 'Zhuo Ren' is seventy-five to the east of the Fuzhi Yamen, and then what? What is seventy-five? Seventy-five steps? Seventy-five steps? Seventy-five feet? Seventy-five feet? Seventy-five miles?"
Shang Lu took out the small wooden stick that Yuan Jie handed over, "What does it look like?"
Hu Guiyang looked carefully for a while and said, "The top is decorated, like... a small crutch?"
"Well, so it's seventy-five zhang, seventy-three to seventy-seven zhang. After all, I don't have the original book in my hand, it's all up to memory."
"Hey, no wonder Lord Yuan is willing to believe me. I can't guess such riddles even if I want to break the head. Seventy-five feet east of the Fuzhi Yamen, it should be the prefect's yamen. It's really simple." Hu Guiyang shook his head and smiled bitterly. The answer was simple, so he had to cover it up.
"I will go to the prefect's office with you."
"Sir, can you?"
"Wu Yuan was transferred to the prefect of Yunyang after being recommended by Yuan Jie. It should be worthy of trusting him. I can only believe him. Otherwise, if I come here, I can do nothing except guessing riddles."
"Then let's go after breakfast."
Hu Guiyang went out of the house to find a servant to prepare meals, and asked Fan Dajian to go to the prefect's office to inform him first, saying that Hu Zhengwei asked for a meeting and did not mention Shang Lu.
He was busy, and Madman He Wu blocked him in the corridor and asked in a low voice: "Have you been here?"
Hu Guiyang promised to tell the truth, nodded and said, "Yes, I've been here."
He Wu's madman sighed, "As soon as I saw the body of the Wen family, I knew... Did the third sister mention me?"
"I mentioned it, but she is in a little trouble now. I can't come to find you yet. Let's go in a few days." Hu Guiyang comforted.
Crazy He Wu said nothing, his face was depressed.
Hu Guiyang had no time to care about him, so he hurriedly had breakfast and took Shang Lu and others to the prefect's office together.
Because there were riots in the north, there were more soldiers on the streets and fewer people in the city, and at this time there was no one to see. The whole city seemed like an empty military camp.
Walking on the street, Hu Guiyang looked at it and saw that it was indeed the prefect's yamen seventy-five feet east of the Fuzhi Yamen. It was not at the center. It should be a yard on the west side, and a house in the middle belonged to each department.
There was an accident in the north and the prefect was very busy. Wu Yuan had not received any visitor for a long time. Fan Dajian whispered to Hu Guiyang: "I have already reported that the prefect does not want to see you, it has nothing to do with me. It's because you took all the responsibility on yourself too early. The prefect can't ask for you now, so he naturally has to put on airs."
"I don't blame you." Hu Guiyang was not in a hurry and yawned, but unfortunately there was no bed in the doorman for him to sleep.
It was already past noon, and the clerk of the punishment room who once brought Hu Guiyang to the city came over and invited the visitor to the side hall. "I'm sorry, the magistrate Hu, the magistrate was so busy that he couldn't even eat."
"We didn't have lunch either," Hu Guiyang said.
"Yeah." The clerk did not dare to answer.
The last time Hu Guiyang met the governor was in the study room, but this time it was changed to a side hall.
The side hall is next to the lobby and is rarely used normally. It is neither formal nor intimate to receive the Jinyi Captain here.
Shang Lu did not make too much disguise, but just asked Qian Gong and Taoist priest to walk in front and cover it up for a moment. In Yunyang Prefecture, few people recognized the chief minister of the cabinet who had just been appointed. Because of this, he was stopped outside the side hall. The clerk said politely but firmly: "The prefect only saw Captain Hu."
Wu Yuan didn't even want to see this person. For him, the troubles of tutoring the yamen have come to an end. No matter how the factory guards want to make trouble, it has nothing to do with him. As the prefect, his duty is to calm the chaos and the people, and he would rather stay away from the affairs of ghosts and gods.
But this Jinyi Captain had helped after all, so he didn't have to get up and had to smile a little, "Why is Captain Hu free to come to me? Are there enough soldiers assigned to him?"
Only five were left of one hundred soldiers to protect the hospital. Hu Guiyang did not mention this matter and bowed and smiled, "I am here to ask for help from the adults."
"Why did Master Hu say the word "please" for the West Factory? Even if you speak, you don't have to look for me, the people below will do it."
"This matter must be approved by the prefect himself."
"Oh, please say it." Wu Yuan's smile on his face was a little stiff.
"What is the magistrate's office doing in the west crossing the courtyard?"
"The west side belongs to the slogan office and other departments."
"It's not the western cross-yard connected to the backyard."
Wu Yuan's face darkened, "Person Hu asked what this is intended? What did someone say to you? No matter what, Wu has a clear conscience."
Hu Guiyang didn't expect the prefect to react so much, "Did you know? Why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"
"I... what does this matter have to do with you? No matter how wide the West Factory is, you can't put your hands into my backyard, right? What's the point of this that makes all officials feel at home?"
Hu Guiyang finally realized, "Mr. Wu, what we are talking about is not the same thing."
"What are you talking about?"
"There are probably unclean things hidden in the Xishima courtyard."
Wu Yuan's face turned into pig liver color, "Hu Guiyang, how dare you be so rude!"
The misunderstanding became deeper and deeper, Hu Guiyang was completely inexplicably confused and said with a smile: "Forget it, I can't speak, so I'd better tell you someone else."
"No need to change, please come back to Captain Hu. I'm very busy today and no one wants to see him." Wu Yuan directly issued an order to expel the guest to Captain Jinyi, indicating that he was really angry.
Hu Guiyang was also angry, and his mind was turning quickly in anger. "Mr. Wu raised a woman in the Xiqianyuan? Don't worry, if the Xichang Factory does not investigate such a thing, Lord. Wu is alone as an official for thousands of miles, and he will inevitably be lonely. I can understand that 'unclean things' have nothing to do with women."
"It doesn't matter..." Wu Yuan was embarrassed, "Person Hu... wants me to see whom?"
"Hold on."
Hu Guiyang left the hall and invited Shang Lu to go in first, then said to Fan Dajian: "It's good that Yuan Mao is here. I really can't talk to Guan'er. It was okay for the first two times, but this time I offended someone again."
Fan Dajian was not surprised, "Normal, there is also a garrison. When you offend him, you can almost close the case and we can return to Beijing. I'm waiting."
Hu Guiyang laughed, which attracted the clerk to look at him sideways.
Without a few words in the office, the prefect Wu Yuan ran out all the way and said to the clerk: "Take the Captain Hu to the West Garden."
The clerk was considered a confidant of the prefect. He knew who lived in the West Garden and said in surprise: "Sir, the West Garden...that..."
"Don't talk too much, go and clear the West Garden. From now on, the West Garden will be returned to Captain Hu."
The lord looked stern, and the clerk dared not ask again. He even claimed that he was, leading the way and led Hu Guiyang and others to the Xiquyuan behind.
Wu Yuan did not follow him and turned back to the hall.
Qian Gong and Taoist priests stayed outside the hall.
Hu Guiyang thought about giving the prefect a little face to the prefect, and said to Fan Dajian: "Go back and call everyone else and leave a message for Yuan Mao."
Fan Dajian took the order to leave, and Hu Guiyang followed the clerk to the West Garden alone.
The clerk did not understand what was going on along the way. At the gate of the West Garden, he decided to act cautiously. "Please wait here. I will go and ask the idle people in the garden to leave."
"Okay." Hu Guiyang just wanted to check the place and was not interested in the people inside.
The clerk entered the garden and didn't come out for a long time. It must be because the hostess was favored and was reluctant to move.
Hu Guiyang didn't want to wait any longer, so he pushed the door open and went in. The West Garden occupied a large area, a garden with pavilions and towers dotted in the middle, which was obviously carefully arranged.
A fierce noise from a small building not far away came from a fierce woman. Hu Guiyang shook his head, turned around, and saw a pair of bright eyes among the flowers.
Those eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only flowers and branches shaking.
