Chapter 196 Lead the snake out of the hole

Xiaocao went out for a walk and promised not to cause trouble in the prefect's office, but just wanted to find the big hammer.

Hu Guiyang understood the confidence and impatient feeling after holding the red ball, so he did not stop him and went back to the house to rest.

There are more and more people gathered in Yunyang Prefecture, with higher status and more complex origins. It is no longer the only way for a Jinyi Captain to intervene at will. He just wants to have a good night's sleep.

When Hu Guiyang woke up, he felt very good. Unfortunately, his body seemed to have less skills and had returned to his original level. It was barely enough to use it to walk around the world. In Yunyang City, it was difficult to move forward and it was very likely that he could not defeat an ordinary soldier.

Hu Guiyang moved away the table and chairs and practiced a set of punches in the middle of the house to confirm that most of his skills were really gone. Although it was a waste of things, he still missed them a little.

After thinking for a while, he admitted that he actually missed him very much, so strong that if Xiaocao stood in front of him at this moment, he would ask for the red ball.

He sat quietly for a while until the hunger in his stomach slightly overwhelmed the nostalgia in his heart, and then got up and walked out of the room.

Xiaocao came back at some point, without showing any fatigue, and was practicing again. When she saw Hu Guiyang, she slowed down a little and said, "Not found."

Although Yunyang City is not big, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city. Looking for someone from it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"I'll go out and you can cook your own meal." Hu Guiyang didn't ask much.

"Yes." The grass speeded up and did not stop.

There were almost no pedestrians on the street. Until the main street, a large number of officers and soldiers were seen. The outer side was responsible for the alert, while the inside was absorbing the essence.

Hu Guiyang walked around the alley and came to the prefect's office. He was stopped by the officers and soldiers dozens of steps away. He asked for his name and after reading the driver's post, he was allowed to wait on the spot.

Not long after, a person walked out of the yamen, not Yuan Mao, but the prefect Wu Yuan, holding the hem of the official robe, lowered his head and trotted all the way, as if he was wading across the river.

Hu Guiyang bowed his hand and said in surprise: "When I come here to visit, how dare I work for the magistrate to come and greet him in person?"

Wu Yuan smiled bitterly, "I am not a prefect now, but a sect official, just a sect official."

This "gatekeeper" is not simple. He wears black veil on his head, official robe and boots on his body, and looks embarrassed, and is completely inferior to the humble and cautious of a minor official.

Although Hu Guiyang often conceals his words, he tries to avoid such things as exposing the scars in person. "I'm here to meet the factory, please..."

"Person Hu, please wait inside and wait until the factory is free before going to see you."

In the doorman, Wu Yuan poured tea and water himself, and seemed to be in a hurry. Hu Guiyang did not dare to sit down, and he felt a little sympathetic to the prefect.

Wu Yuan was busy for a while, pressed Hu Guiyang's shoulder and forced him to sit down, as friendly as if he had been classmates for many years.

His hands were quite strong, so Hu Guiyang had to push and sit halfway. After taking a sip of tea, he found Wu Yuan still standing beside him. So he smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, you can say anything if you have something to say."

"Don't mention the two 'prefects' again. Not to mention the black sa, it's hard to say whether my head can be kept. Alas, I regret it. If I had listened to the words of Captain Hu, I would not have fallen into my current situation."

"Yeah." Hu Guiyang continued to drink tea. He pretended to be confused if the other party didn't make it clear.

"Person Hu, I'm really desperate. Please help me ask for a relationship in front of the factory."

Wu Yuan's body was short and he was about to kneel down. Hu Guiyang hurriedly put down his teacup, reached out to hold it, and smiled and said, "I am a little lieutenant. I am afraid that I will lose my life after being bowed by the magistrate. Besides, Lord Wu is not so scared. You are the imperial official, and the factory officer can't cut off your head no matter what."

"I made a big mistake this time, throwing black shiny is like losing my head..."

Hu Guiyang laughed a few times, "If possible, please help me solve some of my doubts first."

"Yes, you can speak for yourself."

"You absorb the essence of the Dan acupoint in the northern village, which annoys the factory, right?"

"It is mainly the crime of indulging soldiers and civilians... I was really confused at that time, just thinking... In short, it was my fault, it was a big mistake."

"But after the factory arrived, he also assigned the officers and soldiers to various elixirs and took turns to absorb the essence."

"It's different, it's completely different. I'm indulging, and the factory is dispatching. No one can stay near the Dan acupoint for more than six hours. When it's the turn, the time will be shortened in turn. In this way, everyone will not indulge in it."

"oh."

"Person Hu, you are the factory owner's confidant..."

"Haha, will the confidant come to the city last night and haven't seen the factory until now?"

Wu Yuan was disappointed and regretted talking too much just now, and said embarrassedly: "No matter what, Master Hu is a favorite general of the factory."

"I can't count as a love general, but I do know the factory better."

Wu Yuan's eyes lit up and he heard something in his words, "Person Hu asked for advice on his advice, and he would never forget his kindness and virtue for his whole life. He would definitely thank him in the future."

"Don't say such things, I won't be a corrupt official."

"Yes, I'm not a corrupt official either. I have never taken a penny from the people of Yunyang Prefecture."

Hu Guiyang really wanted to ask who sent the bee girl to the mansion, and tried hard to hold it back, "I can't give me some advice, but I can tell you the way."

"This is enough. Captain Hu often lives in the West Factory and can see everything clearly. He is no better than an outgoing official like us, who is in the dark."

"Captain Shi, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember that he was also punished and volunteered to defend the city."

"Learn from him."

"What? Will the Xueshi Captain go to defend the city?"

"If you know the factory master, Shi Jiaowei far exceeds me. He can be summoned immediately after making a big mistake, which is a clear proof. Therefore, his approach is the best choice and he will definitely get the factory master's understanding. With such an example, Lord Wu came to me, and he really wanted to go far."

Hu Guiyang's words sounded like he was rude. If it were someone else, he might be unhappy. However, Wu Yuan was a smart person. He was so clear at a glance that he bowed and smiled: "In the future..."

"Don't talk about things that are so far away, please ask me when I can see the factory."

Wu Yuan smiled and took a break, going in and out several times, and every time he said it was soon, but he never believed the news. Hu Guiyang suspected that he did not dare to ask at all.

Nearly noon, Hu Guiyang drank a stomach full of water and was so hungry that he ate a lot of tea. Wu Yuan finally came in to invite him. On the way to the Intermediate Courtyard, Wu Yuan whispered: "Can I mention Hu in front of Captain Shi?"

"Yes, but don't say good things about me."

Wu Wu laughed. He had already noticed that the two lieutenants were working in the West Factory, but they were a little disagreeable.

"By the way, if you see Captain Shi, tell me a word."

"Person Hu, please tell me."

"I hit him with a hammer, and I hope he will repay him with a hammer."

Wu Yuan was stunned and didn't understand what this sentence meant.

"Do you want me to say it again?"

"No, I remember." Wu Yuan didn't want to ask more questions. He would rather be unaware of the affairs of the West Factory.

Wang Zhi was a arrogant eunuch. He dared to let the prefect be a disciple, but he also abides by the rules and did not occupy the main hall of the yamen, but worked in a side hall.

When Hu Guiyang came in, he was supervising two clerks to write quickly.

Wu Yuan didn't dare to say anything, and immediately left the person when he sent him in.

Hu Guiyang stood at the door, looking here and there, neither coming forward to kneel down or asking for peace.

Wang Zhi ordered the clerk to take the document and look at Hu Guiyang, "There are people who die every day, why are you not among them?"

Hu Guiyang then bowed forward and said with a smile: "I almost died several times. When I thought that I had not completed the factory's heavy trust, I gritted my teeth and came back to life."

"Pooh."

Hu Guiyang did not keep the courtesy, and Wang Zhi did not pick on the courtesy, and sat down casually, "I heard that you killed a million people?"

"Finished by luck."

"Where is the evidence?"

"I didn't bring it back."

"Then you're clamoring? He Baiwan has always been elusive. Like you, anyone can claim to kill him."

Hu Guiyang looked surprised, "I didn't shout. If the factory manager doesn't ask, I will never mention it."

Wang Zhi sneered and waved his hand, "Okay, if you're fine, just get out of here, you've seen me."

"I can't get out, I really have a little trouble."

Wang Zhi didn't say anything. At his age, he pretended to be serious and funny, but as long as he was the factory manager, no one dared to say it out loud.

Hu Guiyang didn't dare either, but he dared to tell the truth, "Now there are masters in and out of the city, don't the factory envy?"

"Ha, I am the eunuch in the West Factory who was personally ordered by the emperor. Will I envy a group of soldiers and the people? You can ask for it."

"Otherwise, when I was in the capital, the factory liked to visit privately for casual clothes and private visits, and only brought a few ounces of followers around me. When I arrived in a small place like Yunyang City, the factory could only sit in the yamen. It was really..." Hu Guiyang smiled and shook his head.

"If you have something to say, don't do this."

"I'm really too cautious."

"You said I'm timid?" Wang Zhiteng stood up. This was the sentence he didn't like to hear the least.

"Who is not timid in the face of so many masters?"

"I...If I hadn't had the heavy responsibility, I would have sucked all the pill holes and became the number one master in the world. Say I'm timid, please find a master to see if he dies or I die."

Hu Guiyang knew that Wang Zhi was instructing the officers and soldiers to absorb the essence of the alchemy acupoint, but he did not touch it himself. There must be a reason for this.

"There are many masters around the factory, and everyone who comes will die. But..." Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "Can the factory trust these masters in the mansion?"

“Each one is more trustworthy than you.”

"That's right, but I have an advantage that they can't compare with. These masters all rely on the Dan acupoint. Although the factory controls the time they touch the Dan acupoint, their greed has already arisen and will only become heavier and will not gradually disappear."

Wang Zhi didn't say anything, his expression was cold, but he didn't even start to curse.

"Goodbye, the factory knows where I live, and if necessary, I will be on call."

When Hu Guiyang left, he saw Yuan Mao at the gate. He bowed to each other and didn't say anything. Hu Guiyang knew in his heart that he could see Wang Zhi this time had nothing to do with Wu Yuan, and it was all Yuan Mao's fight for.

When he returned to his residence, there was still half a pot of rice made by Xiaocao. Hu Guiyang immediately put a bowl of rice and ate it with pickles, praising him: "Your cooking skills are really good."

Xiaocao didn't practice martial arts, "Then eat more. You can go out with me tonight and you must find the big hammer."

Hu Guiyang put another bowl and said while eating: "No, if there is no accident, the big iron hammer will be delivered to the door soon."

If Wang Zhi wanted to figure out Hu Guiyang's martial arts, he could only ask Shi Guida's jianghu people for help. If Shi Guida understood the meaning of "repaying with a hammer", he would send a big hammer to test it.

This is Hu Guiyang's plan.
