Hu Guiyang refused to go to Wuque Hutong to find out the news, but Fan Dajian had to turn to find others, but the process was not going well.

Fan Dajian had previously claimed that the capital was his foundation, which was correct, but he did not say that these foundations were mainly based on Lingji Palace, not himself, nor Erlang Temple. After thinking about it, he could not find a suitable candidate.

At this moment, the two guys came to the door on their own initiative.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were well-informed on several nearby streets. No matter which new high-ranking company came to a house or bought a girl, they would come to congratulate them in time and ask for at least a glass of wine.

The new temple director of Erlang Temple was in office, of course these two people would not miss it. They sent a gift and boasted about it.

Everyone in the temple hated them very much, but Fan Dajian felt that he had found talents, so he tried to win over and paid to invite the two of them to Wuque Hutong for fun. "The people there often come to me to burn incense. As the temple owner, I have to know more about the situation and ask who their backer is."

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were overjoyed. Unexpectedly, there would be such a beautiful man. He made a vow to leave with the money and rushed back early the next morning. He first praised Wuque Hutong, saying that if the Spring Courtyard in the city was no longer enterprising, it would be closed sooner or later, and then talked about the main business.

"I've inquired about it. The backer behind it should be a powerful eunuch in the palace. The spring courtyard of Wuque Hutong is not a ** courtyard. It is all official shops. On the surface, it stores goods and provides accommodation for foreign merchants. The girls are all transported from other places, which can be regarded as 'goods'. We have known some people, and after two or three nights, we will definitely find out who the eunuch is."

There are many powerful eunuchs in the palace, including Huai'en, Shang Ming, Shang Ming of the East Factory, Wang Zhi of the West Factory, Liang Fang of the Eunuch of the Eunuch, and others with great reputations and status is close to that of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Below them, there are dozens of eunuchs with lower status, who are considered to be Shangshu and Minister of the Secretariat, and they are of great power.

The relationship between these eunuchs is complicated. If outsiders are not careful, they will inevitably find the wrong person and even offend them. Fan Dajian is extremely cautious in this kind of matter, so he asked Jiang and Zheng to continue to go to Wuque Hutong to find out the news, while he found his former friends to indirectly attack him.

He believed that he would be able to find out the details soon. Since he was a backer, he had to reveal a little of his true appearance to make Wuque Hutong reliable. He just needed to follow the clues and the remaining problem was to solve it with money from others.

But he made a mistake from the beginning and shouldn't have believed two gangsters in the Chunyuan.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were too addicted to gambling, and Fan Dajian downplayed his purpose. The two felt that things were not important, so after getting the money, they did not go to Wuque Hutong outside the city, but gambled money, and by the way they found some rumors at the gambling table.

After losing for several days, the two of them could no longer delay, so they had to go to Wuque Hutong in person, without any money, and planned to use the same method as they were familiar with the city to help customers, get some benefits, and take the opportunity to inquire about the news.

As the rumor says, there are many official shops on both sides. Even in the cold winter, vehicles are still coming and going, providing the capital with rich New Year’s goods. There are no retail sales here, only bulk transactions, so there are not many customers, but they are all rich people.

Jiang and Zheng were thick-skinned. Without knowing which families were in the alley, they dared to chat with new guests on the street and introduce them to which girl is better. It was all heard of rumors, without a single truth.

This routine is still easy to use. After several chats, they successfully gained the trust of a wealthy businessman. Jiang Er led the way, and Zheng Sanhun quickly went to inquire about the residence of the so-called Seven Fairies.

The Seven Fairies are the seven most famous girls in Wuque Hutong. They went to Erlang Temple to fight Ren Liu when they were young. After leaving the city, they all went back to their respective places, and there was competition between them.

The rich businessman is not picky, as long as he is one of the seven fairies.

Unfortunately, the Seven Fairies are now extremely popular and have all become rich businessmen and basically do not accept foreign customers.

The wealthy businessman came here and did not understand the rules here. Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were able to understand it at once, and instead took the wealthy businessman to another family, making a fuss: "We have the upper seven immortals here and the lower seven immortals. The people you mentioned are all the lower seven immortals. I wonder who you heard of, that person underestimated you. With your identity, appearance, and elegance, you must be the upper seven immortals to be worthy of it."

The wealthy businessman was very happy and after the reward, he would scold his friends who recommended the "Seven Immortals" to him.

The transaction went smoothly. The girl in this family was not as beautiful as the most beautiful women, but she was not ugly. The rich businessman was a little disappointed. However, after a few conversations and a few glasses of wine, he became happy again, thinking that the "Shang Seven Immortals" were indeed outstanding. His words were well-behaved, and his words were pleasant, but his appearance was not that important.

The guest was introduced by Jiang and Zheng. The shop thought they were entourages, so they stayed outside to entertain and drank with the shop's shop's friends.

The wealthy businessman was completely fascinated and did not want anyone to enter the house. The others were happy and kept adding wine and vegetables. They were all drunk. Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun could not control their mouths and said everything. The Jinyiwei and Fan Dajian were also exposed, as if they were spies on secret missions, but they did not mention Hu Guiyang's name.

No one takes it seriously or cares. What is most lacking in this alley is lies.

The one who happened was the rich businessman. He was still young, about thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a straight body, but it turned out to be a patient who foamed at the mouth at half a minute and died.

The girl was frightened and had no cleverness, leaving only her teeth fighting.

There were no characters like madams or turtle slaves in the shop. The shopkeeper took care of goods and people. He asked Jiang and Zheng to ask about the origin of the wealthy businessman.

The wealthy businessman claimed that his surname was Hong and his name was Hong You in front of the "fairy". He was from Shandong and said nothing else.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun only knew the surname of the rich businessman, but didn't even know the name, and it was leaked in a few words.

The more the shopkeeper heard, the more wrong it became. The guy who was drinking together remembered what the two of them had said, pointing out that they were spies sent by Jinyiwei and Erlang Temple.

Things were even more wrong. The shopkeeper looked for other followers of the rich businessman, and there were indeed two more, but the rich businessman was afraid of being bound, so he sent them away and made an appointment to come again at dawn.

After a little contact between the previous and after things, the shopkeeper came to a conclusion: this was a frame-up, and a dead person destroyed the reputation of Wuque Hutong. The master envoy behind it was the owner of Fan Temple in Erlang Temple and many spring courtyards in the city.

Before Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun could understand, they were knocked to the ground. The friend who was drinking together just now turned into a fierce and evil spirit in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, those girls in the city really dare to use any tricks. If you don't ask who owns the shop here, you dare to come over and cause trouble?"

"Who owned the house?" Zheng Sanhun still remembered the purpose of the trip and asked.

The shopkeeper's face darkened, "The corpse inside was carried out and buried together. No one of them had ever been here. They had never taken the guests in the shop tonight. Do you understand? Someone came to ask tomorrow morning, and it was said that Officer Hong Ke was not satisfied with the place and was taken away by these two guys."

The friends agreed in unison, Jiang and Zheng who were tied up then realized that the disaster was coming. When they asked for forgiveness, their mouths were blocked again. The two brothers looked at each other and cried. Unexpectedly, they had been living in the area of ​​our Si Hutong for half their lives, but in the end they would die in the Spring Courtyard outside the city.

It was midnight, and the people in the shop planned to wait for a while, and take the three of them out while there was no one on the street, find a desolate place, and bury them into the snow. The body would not be discovered until the spring of tomorrow.

The shopkeeper went in to dispose of the body and comforted his wealth-seeking fairy. It was nearly an hour since the guys were ready to carry the people, but the shopkeeper came out and ordered the rope to be untied.

The guys were puzzled, but they had to obey. Jiang and Zheng had long been so scared that they collapsed. After the rope was untied, they were still lying on the ground and unable to move.

The shopkeeper ordered someone to prepare the car again, and then said, "You two, get up and talk."

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were finally pulled up by several people, and burst into tears at the shopkeeper, "We really don't know this Hong Keguan, we just met him casually on the street, who would have thought..."

"Why do you two have to chat with him?" The shopkeeper's tone was not harsh.

"Because the only guest walking on the street is looking around, obviously the first newcomer, so we..." Jiang Erpi saw a little hope, "We are also people on the road. It is not surprising that we have seen such things in the Spring Courtyard in the city. Moreover, the entourage of Hong Kewang did not know our names at all. We returned to the city immediately and never came out for a second, so they could not find it."

"Well, this is a solution." The shopkeeper actually agreed.

Jiang and Zheng were overjoyed and were about to thank him, but the shopkeeper said again: "But the corpse inside is still a problem."

"We went to bury it, buried it far away. When we were found, we would have turned into skeletons and no one could recognize it."

The shopkeeper thought for a while, "No need to be so troublesome. You brought the people, and the corpse should naturally be taken away by you. You will send them wherever they come from."

"Ah, we don't know where Hong Keguan came from."

"Where do you come from, take the body back."

Jiang and Zheng were stunned.

The vehicles outside were ready, and the bodies were carried up. Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun were forced into the carriage and guarded the bodies. They did not dare to move or speak.

The curtains of the car were blocked tightly, and the two of them didn't know it at dawn. They just felt that the car was running wildly and had been walking for a long time. They did not stop all the way and were not investigated when entering the city gate.

The car stopped and no one came to greet him. Jiang and Zheng waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but be curious and jumped out of the car.

The shopkeeper, guy, and coachman were all gone, but the mules, horse whip and other things were there, and there were a lot.

"They are so kind-hearted that they will send us back to Erlang Temple." Zheng Sanhun was overjoyed.

It was already dawn, and the two brothers hurried into the temple to find Fan Dajian, and didn't say anything in the car, so they pulled him out to check it out.

Fan Dajian was shocked and angry, and hurriedly asked the two to drive the car to the secluded place in the backyard of Erlang Temple and whispered to ask about the passing.

Jiang and Zheng did not dare to hide anything anymore, and explained them all in detail.

Fan Dajian became more and more confused as he heard it. He plucked up the courage to get into the car to check the body, found a purse, took out the things inside and looked at it, and was so scared that he was gone. He ordered Jiang and Zheng to keep the corpse. After a while, he thought about it and found that although there were many friends, only Hu Guiyang was trustworthy at this time.

"Who is the dead?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"Yes, it's a prince consort."
