Chapter 254 Defrauding Trust(1/2)
"All done?" Wei Ying obviously didn't believe it. He noticed the rudeness and immediately bowed and smiled: "Congratulations, Captain Hu made many great achievements. Not to mention using silver to blew the water, it's enough to lay the floor."
Hu Guiyang bowed and returned the gift, "Haha, let's just put the floor on the floor, it's white and dazzling. Say goodbye, I'm going home for the New Year. Although I'm a bachelor, I can always find a few friends to drink."
"Wait." Wei Ying hurriedly stopped him, "Just leave like that?"
"I didn't take the New Year's goods from the West Factory?"
"There is a little bit, but..." Wei Ying smiled, "Making contributions is not just a matter of saying it."
Hu Guiyang looked up and thought for a while, "Do you want to know?"
"certainly."
"I really want to know?"
"I will pass what you say to the factory as soon as possible."
"You are not a eunuch, can you enter the palace at will?"
"This is my own business."
"Okay, let's talk about the death of Prince Consort Lou first. He married his sister who is today..."
"I know all these. How did the prince-consort die? Is it an accident? Or a frame-up?"
Hu Guiyang put away his smile, "It's better to ask who the backer behind Wuque Hutong first."
"What are the two things related?"
"It's very related. Not only that, there is also the cause of the death of the prince-consort. "
Wei Ying showed a hint of suspicion on her face, and suddenly laughed twice, patted Hu Guiyang on the shoulder, "The West Factory has sent a lot of things. I'll send someone to your house. Hu Ziwei will go home for the New Year, and he will be on duty tomorrow."
Hu Guiyang also laughed twice, "Goodbye."
When we got home, it was already dark and the courtyard gate was still locked and covered in vain. No one was waiting at home this time, and everything remained the same. Even Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun had never been there.
Dapian stayed in the shop outside the city and had not come back yet, and his home was as deserted as a grave.
Hu Guiyang wanted to buy some food, but the nearby shops closed. Fortunately, the things from the West Factory were delivered quickly, and there were indeed a lot of rice, noodles, fruit, wine, charcoal, cloth, clothes, boots, whips, etc.
Hu Guiyang made hot wine himself, used dried fruits, candied fruits and other items as dishes, and ate and drank slowly, and enjoyed himself. Halfway through the meal, he went to the kitchen to cook a large pot of water, took off all his clothes, and filled water in a wooden basin, and took a shower in the yard facing the cold wind.
The sound of firecrackers outside, the sound of water in the yard, and Hu Guiyang's strange screams were quite harmonious.
After washing, Hu Guiyang changed into a new dress, warmed up the wine again, continued to eat and drink, and felt more and more comfortable.
There are many rich people in the city. The firecrackers on the first night of the New Year have not yet ended until midnight. Hu Guiyang was tired and planned to go to bed. At this moment, a cry of oh came from outside the door.
Hu's house had no door locks and allowed people to enter and exit. Hu Guiyang was not surprised at all. He opened the door and smiled: "Which bastard...oh."
Hu Guiyang also cried out and hurriedly met him. His feet slipped and fell to the ground. He had a lot of magic power, but he could not control his body to slide, tripping the visitor who was about to stand up again.
The hot water that Hu Guiyang had taken before had already turned into thick ice in half of the yard.
The two of them slid to the snow before they stopped. Hu Guiyang helped the visitor up and smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the factory manager would come to greet me for a New Year, this..."
"I'm not your son." Wang Zhi remembered what he said before, "I'm not here to greet you, you think beautifully. Damn, why are there ice in your family?"
“I’m pretending that I have a pond at home.”
"Bah, your small yard is so small that it is a pond."
"Haha, it's just a little bit. Let's go into the house."
Wang Zhi limped into the house, saw the wine and charcoal pot on the table, and said, "Your doghouse finally looks like a place where people live."
"The factory owner won the award."
Wang Zhi sat down and gently rubbed his waist, "What are you looking at?"
"I think the factory is dressed well, is it a private visit?"
Wang Zhi's small hat was dressed in blue, like a little companion beside the rich young man, rather than a powerful official in the palace.
"It's all your trouble, whether it's early or not, whether it's late or not. If you come back on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it's so important, so I have to do it myself."
"Actually, I'm not that anxious. From tomorrow, I'll go to the West Factory to be on duty. It's time to wait until the factory is free to find me."
Wang Zhi's face darkened, "I'll decide whether to hurry or not. Do you find out what you want and explain it to me in detail."
"Uh...I can't say it now."
Wang Zhi stared at him and said for a while: "You are enjoying me?"
"How dare I? I didn't expect the factory to come so soon, but it just so happened that I had a request..."
"You didn't reveal anything, and you asked me for your dead dad and brother."
Wang Zhi's words were vicious, but Hu Guiyang didn't take them seriously and said with a smile: "They were just ordinary people when they were alive, and they could still become gods after they died? Only the factory can meet this request. After that, I can complete the task given to me by the factory. "
Wang Zhi suddenly realized, "It turns out that you didn't find out the truth at all. You are lying to others with words. Hey, Wei Ying, this bastard, he will feel good later, as for you..."
"As for me, I really have something to say. Last night, I talked face to face with Yi Ren and gained a lot."
Wang Zhi's expression calmed down, "Have you seen other strange people?"
Hu Guiyang raised his palm and said, "Five."
Wang was surprised, "It's so tiring to talk to you. If you have such a thing, you should say it from the beginning."
"The factory man gave me the task of making friends with Yi Ren within a month. I have only seen him now, and he is still one step away from making friends."
"You are quite smart to tell these two things clearly." Wang Zhi moved on the stool a few times, obviously interested, "Tell me what these five people look like."
Hu Guiyang briefly introduced it, but did not mention the names of the five people, especially the origin of Luo's family, but focused on everyone's illness.
"The Heavenly Mechanical Ship is such an evil thing. Fortunately, I didn't get the skills, so continue to be an ordinary person."
Wang Zhi is not an ordinary person. He is the emperor's favored servant, with great power and power. Masters like Tong Feng are also used by him, so he naturally doesn't envy the strange people of Yunyang.
"Maybe..."
"Maybe something?"
"Maybe the capabilities of the Tianji Ship make the factory younger?"
"Look at how slutty you smiled, I know what you really want to say, there is no need to hide it. When you are Hu Guiyang, you are disgusting, and at least you have a reputation of being bold and straightforward, not even more disgusting when you are Hu Guiyang."
"Haha, actually I want to say that the divine power of the Tianji Ship may make that thing grow again."
"Hmph, if it's gone, it's gone. I don't care. And if it grows out, it has to leave the palace. I would rather not have this trouble. Besides, there is also the descendant soup. Although that thing has not been successfully cooked, it is always more reliable than Jindan or something. Tong Feng's throat is broken, and the lower part is still the same as before."
Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "I was curious for a moment. Come back and talk about those strange people. I can win them over to the capital."
"Catch me? Tell me where they are. Just send someone to capture them. It's your first contribution."
"It's easy to catch these strange people, but it's difficult to catch other strange people in the future."
"You mean to spend a long money to catch big fish?"
"Yes, I would like to make a suggestion to Yiren, everyone lives together, share the golden elixir, and find a way to cure the disease. I believe that this move will attract more Yiren to come and gather, which is much easier than searching one by one."
"That's right, all the strange people have magical skills and hide in the most desolate places, which is harder to find than the rats underground."
Wang Zhi did not mention the emperor's illness, and Hu Guiyang certainly could not say that no matter how brave he is or how straightforward he is, he would not be chaotic in such matters.
"So I asked the factory to give me a large mansion to accommodate strangers. The wider the better, the more people there will be."
"A small matter, but..." Wang Zhi showed a vigilant look, "You are the captain of the Xichang school, and you asked the Xichang to provide a house. Why do those strange people believe you? The East Factory has been pursuing them for a long time, and the West Factory is also paying close attention. They should all know."
"They know that, regardless of whether they are divided into East Factory or West Factory, they all regard it as the intention of the court."
"That's right, so it's even more strange. They didn't kill you on the spot."
“I’ll give them a good suggestion.”
"It's very good to them, but it's very bad to the West Factory."
"Haha, it may not be. They need golden elixir to relieve the disease, and they must be the best pure red golden elixir with the best quality. I told them, who has mastered the most golden elixirs and is the best? Of course, it was the court. During the Yunyang Incident, officers and soldiers occupied the elixirs everywhere, and of course they had to search for the golden elixirs afterwards."
"Three places." Wang Zhi corrected coldly, "You kid are quick to start and search the Southeast Dan acupoint. I haven't settled the score with you yet."
"My affairs are small, let's talk about them later. In short, I will make them believe that the court is willing to provide golden elixir."
Wang Zhi stood up and said, "Don't think about why the imperial court should provide the golden elixir?"
"Because the court also wants to find a way to cure diseases, it is rare to have a hand, and it is even rarer for strangers. The court does not want to lose a master like Tong Feng too early, right?"
"Even so, the court will not take out the golden elixir to outsiders unless they are willing to accept the amnesty and use it for the court."
Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "The cleverness of the whole thing is here. The court does not have to really take out the golden elixir. Just make them believe that this is the case."
Wang Zhi sat down slowly, "It turned out to be a deceiving their trust. It was like something you could do, but without the golden elixir, how many days could you deceive them?"
"This is the second request I made to the factory: If I have a way to get the golden elixir by myself, can I keep it and don't have to hand it over?"
Wang Zhi immediately stood up again and said angrily: "I knew you had hidden the golden elixir, and no one was willing to eat them all."
"My golden elixir is indeed gone, not a single one remains, but the elixir hole in the valley was occupied by mountain people, so the golden elixir fell into the hands of the immortal in the valley. I can find a way to get one or two from him."
Wang Zhi sat down again and thought for a while, "That's your ability. You should be able to stay. Let me talk after I return to the palace to ask for instructions. How long do you plan to take in Yiren? Don't stay there and finally make the fake come true."
"One year, this is the deadline given to me by the factory, and it is still valid."
To be continued...
