Chapter 20 Death

(Please collect and recommend)

Hu Guida couldn't understand, but after returning home, why did Brother Sanliu change his mind? Moreover, there was a strong smell of residual wine in the room. Brother Sanliu lay on the bed on his back, his stomach was bulging high, as if he had swallowed the entire restaurant.

"I won't leave? What does this mean?" Hu Gui was confused and didn't know where to put the package in his arms. "I even brought the horse and tied it to the door."

"It means I want to stay. One day I want to leave, and I will walk openly and gloriously, rather than running away secretly."

Juice flowed on the table and the ground was full of chewed bones. Hu Guida had no place to put the package, so he had to walk to the bed with his arms and silver pieces scattered in the bed. He became more and more confused, "Brother Sanliu, how much wine have you drunk?"

"I didn't drink too much wine, I ate a lot of meat and vegetables." Hu Guiyang patted his stomach gently, "I guess I won't have to eat for three days."

"Brother Sanliu, you know how dangerous it is now, staying in the capital will not only harm yourself, but also implicate... many people."

Hu Guiyang turned sideways and found that he felt uncomfortable, so he still had to lie on his back. "I suddenly figured out a truth."

"What's the reason?" Hu Guida knew that Sanliu Brother was going to talk about fallacies again, so he sighed, but he still had to listen.

"Someone secretly designed to frame me for murder and turn me into a demon fox who can kill people in my dreams. I don't know why, but I know that the responsibility is not on me, so how can I implicate others?"

"But……"

"The third brother died because of me on the surface, but that night, the murderer must have killed someone. Anyone is fine. As long as he can get involved with me, he will be a brother. At that time, I was investigating the cause of death and whereabouts of his adopted father. Whoever I doubted would die. So I implicated my third brother? No, this idea is too proud, as if I have the ability to decide who will live and who will die. In fact, I am worse than a chess piece, and I can't see who the manipulator is at all."

"Didn't you figured out this truth long ago?" Hu Guida still remembered that Brother Sanliu was resentful of Brother San's death, and after returning home, he became distracted.

"Yes, but I still think I'm very important. As soon as I leave, everything will be solved."

"Can't it?" Hu Gui asked in big and small voice.

"No." Hu Gui sat up, his stomach was blocked and he had to go downstairs, so he had to stand down. "First of all, I can't escape. Even if I can leave the capital smoothly, the word "Demon Fox" will follow me closely, and it will be easier, because no one can prove that I am not on the scene. Secondly... Secondly, once I leave, who will protect my family?"

Hu Gui took a big look at the small room and really didn't think this home is worth protecting.

"I am now a member of the 'Juezi Captain', and I am the Yanshan Forefather Trial Household - although I have not been appointed yet, I have a reputation. In this area, I am well-informed. My brothers and you in my family can help me, but once I leave the capital, I will have nothing. If I want to fight back, what will I fight back?"

Hu Gui waited for a while and said reluctantly: "We brothers are not all trustworthy."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be trusted, so I could only break through the world."

"Don't Brother Sanliu knows a salt dealer? You can hide."

Hu Guiyang laughed and said, "I do know a few salt dealers. These guys all recognize money, officials but not people. I will do things for the Jinyiwei. It is easy to say. If I become a fugitive and have no real skills, they will not pay attention to me."

Hu Guida had no choice but to do it, "What should I do? Just stay at home like this, watching more and more brothers die at the hands of the demon fox?"

Hu Guiyang patted his belly, "I'm full, it's time to go out for activities. The He family is a clue delivered to the door, and I want to start investigating from here."

"I think - since I have to stay, it's better to go find the eldest brother and the fifth brother. They have found a lot of clues. It is said that the fifth brother will soon be able to capture Xiao Mudan and the double-sword man."

"Brother, the fifth brother is not short of manpower. I want to investigate the case in my own way." Hu Guiyang pressed his right hand on his belly and tapped him gently, but he did not realize that he was thinking deeply, and he didn't even care much about his third-ninth brother. "The He family's actions must have a deep meaning. When they fish, I am the fish. I have no other choice except to bite the bait..."

"Or why you marry the daughter of the He family. It's easy to talk to the couple. Maybe she will tell you everything." Hu Guida couldn't guess what Sanliu Ge thought, and only felt that he changed too quickly.

Hu Guiyang looked up at Brother Sanjiu, as if he had just noticed that he was present. He suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at Hu Gui a few times, "Good idea, just like fishing. The more the fish struggled, the faster the death. Jumped along the fishing line and give the angler a sudden attack, maybe he could bring back the dead. Brother Sanjiu, you came up with a good idea."

"Ah, you really want to marry He Sanjie? I was just having fun."

Hu Guiyang made a forward jumping posture, "I just want to go ashore, and in the end I have to spit out the bait."

"Hmm?" Hu Gui didn't dare to say that he fully understood what Brother Sanliu meant.

"No matter how much, how much money do you bring?"

"This is for you to escape." General Hu Gui hugged him tighter.

"I'm running for life, but the method and path are a little different. Come on, and I'll give it back to you in the future."

"It's not all my money, but other people's... In short... this, my savings... Brother Sanliu, don't rob it, you will really pay it back in the future, how long will it take, one day, two days, two months, three months, and how many years?"

Hu Guiyang snatched the package, weighed it, and removed the miscellaneous items inside, and estimated that there would be two or three hundred taels of silver. "I will definitely pay it back before you get married."

"It didn't take long... I mean, Brother Sanliu, are you really sure?"

Hu Guiyang smiled slightly, "Sharp? If the adoptive father only does things that are certain, he will be an unemployed household until he dies. "Sharp" is not in my hands, nor in your hands. The only person who is confident is the mastermind behind the scenes."

Hu Guida felt that he would never see this bag of silver again. Although he was going to give it to Brother Sanliu, he was a little reluctant now, "Okay, do whatever you want, just silver, can you use so much?"

"I just think it's too little." Hu Guiyang threw the package on the bed, "You go home, don't follow me."

"You want to go to Longtan alone?"

"Haha, the He family is not a dragon pool, and I am very safe. I am a 'demon fox'. No one can bear to kill me before the time is ripe. On the contrary, you, Brother Sanjiu, have to be more careful these days. It is indeed dangerous to walk alone, but it is not necessarily safe to stay with your brothers."

Hu Gui nodded and said nothing. Many signs showed that there were betrayers among the adopted sons of the Zhao family, and he would rather not think about this.

"No further ado, let's start while it's not dark." Hu Guiyang walked out.

"You're too anxious."

"It's very likely that people will die again when it gets dark, so you must be anxious."

Hu Guida had no choice but to follow him and frequently looked back at the package on the bed, "Just put the things on the bed?"

"Just lock the door." Hu Guiyang found out the key and lock, locked the door, and locked the door after being discharged from the hospital. "I have to see Lord Yuan again."

"Do you believe him?" Hu Gui was a little surprised.

"Of course not. I have to get the appointment of the Trial Households. This thing is somewhat useful, and maybe I can exchange it for some money."

"Although Lord Yuan left the Jinyiwei, he was the deputy governor of the former government and had great power..."

"I'm not trying to seize power, why are I afraid of him?" Hu Guiyang looked at the pedestrians on the street, "The demon fox should be fearless."

Hu Gui led the horse and the two walked together. They broke up in Guanyin Temple Hutong. Hu Gui watched Brother Sanliu walk away. Just like when he looked at the bag of silver before, he felt that he would never see him again. He couldn't help but sigh and turned around and entered the alley. When he passed by Brother Wu's house, he did not stop and walked until his eldest brother's house before he quickly walked in.

Hu Guiyang walked on the road with relaxed steps. He was a lazy person, but in order to maintain his qualifications as "lazy", he would occasionally work hard. Now is the time for him to work hard.

Perhaps this is the purpose of the adoptive father. He thought that the adoptive father knew every adopted son in his family and knew that he had to put Hu Guiyang to death to inspire his fighting spirit. Now, the purpose of the adoptive father has been achieved and he has entered the death.

The former military governor's office was not a busy yamen. Hu Guiyang was the last visitor that day. The doorman refused to inform him and said directly: "Sir, I'm leaving, come again tomorrow."

"This is strange. I visited as promised. Lord Yuan specifically said not to come too early. Since you said you have left, I will go to Lord Yuan's house to ask."

"Wait, maybe... I didn't leave." The doorman was a little vague. The young man in front of him dressed like an ordinary citizen, but spoke like a prince and nobleman who visited in private. At the foot of the emperor, any strange thing could happen. He had to act carefully, "I'll go in and take a look."

Hu Guiyang turned around and looked at the Jinyiwei Office diagonally opposite. There were many people coming in and out, which was very contrasted with the former military governor's office here.

"Mr. Yuan must be hard to have a good time." Hu Guiyang murmured in a low voice. The emperor was also heartless enough. He transferred Yuan Bin to the opposite side of the Jinyiwei. Every day when entering and leaving the yamen, he could see his old place and his old people. Compared with the two, he would feel abandoned.

He didn't wait long, and the sect official came out and invited him into the yamen, but his expression was strange. Obviously, the response he received from Lord Yuan did not exactly match his expectations.

Yuan Bin's expression did not show any loss, and his face still had the unique smile of those who had been in high positions for a long time, which seemed to be friendly, which made the humble so flattered that he did not dare to look directly at him, and seemed to be cold, making the brave feel meaningless.

Hu Guiyang was already quite brave, and at this time he was even more bold. He gave in and didn't even say polite words, and said directly: "Mr. Yuan, I'll apologize."

"What's the crime?" Yuan Bin was very surprised.

"I didn't find the body of my adoptive father, nor did I find out the cause of death, and I was still in the game step by step. Now I have no way to go, so I have to ask the adults to take in and let me be your follower. If something happens, the adults can also pull me."

Yuan Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Just say whatever you want, don't beat around the bush."

"My lord said that there are many people in the court who do not believe in ghosts and gods. They will help me. Now I need help."

The smile on Yuan Bin's face slowly disappeared, "What should I do for you?"
