Chapter 257: Speak the truth after drinking

As usual, Fan Dajian drank too much again, held the cup and raised his voice meaninglessly, "Listen to me, listen to me!"

Hu Guiyang and Yuan Mao, who were not talking at all, put down their wine glasses and looked at the old Taoist with a smile.

The old Taoist was silent for a while, as if waiting for the imagined audience to calm down, "Although you two can laugh, I still have to say that I am very happy to make friends like you."

Yuan Mao smiled without saying a word, Hu Guiyang said, "'We are like this'? Do you have more friends who are like this?"

Fan Dajian pointed at Hu Guiyang with his other hand and laughed, "Haha, you just can't change the bad habit of talking nonsense. Fortunately, I'm used to it." He coughed twice and became serious inexplicably. "When I was in Lingji Palace, I made many friends. Now I understand that those are all ordinary friends, money friends, and we - life and death friends."

Hu Guiyang whispered to Yuan Mao: "For the sake of quietness, I'd better save him a few times in the future."

Yuan Mao still smiled but said nothing.

Hu Guiyang was very good at speaking, Fan Dajian claimed to be used to it, but he was still a little angry, "I'm not trying to please you two. It's really useless to please, especially you." He glared at Hu Guiyang, his eyes slowly and gentle, "At the most dangerous time in Yunyang Mansion, you did not abandon your friends and ran away. With this, all your problems can be forgiven."

Hu Guiyang raised his glass and said, "Then I wish you more dangers in the future and let more people 'forgive' me."

"Let others forgive you, let me forget about Yuan Mao and I." Fan Dajian leaned his neck and drank the wine in the glass, made a satisfied sound, and sat down heavily, "If I only choose the same one, I will choose the fine wine, not you." After that, he poured it on the table, and then snored loudly after a while.

Yuan Mao pointed at Fan Dajian, "Although it was a bit strange, he said everything I said."

"You are in danger now." Hu Guiyang said lightly. They had not yet discussed Ren Liu'er's escape.

In the restaurant's private room, Yuan Mao didn't eat and drink much, and was waiting for this opportunity. He put down his wine glass, "I'm very sorry to involve you, but that's all..."

"You can only make others unable to doubt you." Hu Guiyang understood Yuan Mao's intention, "You are smart enough, and you are smarter after returning from Yunyang. You won't be mutant too, right?"

"I don't have that luck, nor that unlucky."

"Hey, this answer is good. Actually, you have helped me. After going to Ren's house, although there are many rumors, my doubts about me will become less and less."

"This is my purpose. No one doubts you, no one doubts me, but no one doubts you, but I will damage your reputation."

“Is my reputation a good one?”

Yuan Mao became more and more ashamed, "I will tell you the truth without any concealment. I originally thought I would talk about it in a few days, but I didn't expect you to discover it so quickly."

"Actually, I found the truth when I arrived at your doorstep."

"Because I won't let you in?"

"I smelled the fragrance in Ren Liuer's room."

Yuan Mao was shocked, "Really? If you can smell it, others may be, I have to..."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a dog, so how can I have such a good nose? I'm confused. It's because you look wrong and things are so coincidental, so you ask casually, and you admit it."

Yuan Mao smiled awkwardly. He thought he was not inferior to Hu Guiyang because he was not brave enough. Even if he was 70% or 80% sure about some things, he would not easily refuse to speak out. However, Hu Guiyang dared to say them with just a flash of inspiration. He did not blush when he was wrong, and did not take them seriously when he was right.

"Anyway, you saw through it." Yuan Mao glanced at Fan Dajian who seemed to be waking up and speeded up his speech. "The first time I went to the Ren family, but not the first time I met Ren Liuer. When I was still in Yuan's mansion, I invited her twice."

"Mr. Yuan likes this tune?"

"It's not what you think. Yuan Mansion invites some people to accompany him at a private banquet, just to accompany him and sing music."

"Haha, you fell in love with her then?"

Yuan Mao blushed, "Actually, I just said a few words. Who is she? Who am I? In short, it is impossible. When I went to the Ren family a few years ago, she still remembered me and talked to me about the past."

"And you are no longer a servant of the Yuan family, but a new Jinyi Captain. You can be worthy of her when you set up your own business."

Yuan Mao's face turned red again, "Although she is the daughter of the Lehu family, in my eyes..."

"You'd better tell her these words. You've said them, right?"

Yuan Mao laughed and hurriedly changed the topic, "Ren Liuer is Mr. Zhu Jiu. She disguised herself as a man and went to Wuque Hutong to find out the news."

Hu Guiyang laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing at?" Yuan Mao said in surprise. His original intention was to praise Ren Liuer for being brave and resourceful, but he did not expect that it would cause a burst of laughter.

Hu Guiyang couldn't stop laughing until Yuan Mao looked angry that he put away most of his smile, "Sorry, I just thought that Ren Liuer was beaten because of Mr. Zhu Jiu, so he couldn't help but want to laugh. If the Seven Fairies knew the truth...haha."

Hu Guiyang also remembered something. Ren Liuer was obsessed with He Sanjie'er, who was dressed as a man, actually had a good understanding and also used the trick of disguising as a man.

Yuan Mao also smiled, "Don't mention this in front of her. This is the pain in her heart, and she will get angry when she mentions it."

"I don't think I'll see her again."

"Hehe, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will send her to the city for a temporary stay, and wait until the wind is calm and then take her back to the city, change her identity and try not to show up in public."

"Then you have to have a deep mansion."

"I'm working hard, she's willing to take out her private money, but I won't want it."

Hu Guiyang raised his wine glass and said, "Congratulations, this is considered a wedding wine."

Yuan Mao also raised his glass and glanced at Fan Dajian, "I will definitely blame me after I know it."

"I found out the truth by myself. He wanted to know and guess it myself."

The two of them were drinking, and Yuan Mao knew that the chat should end. "Ren Liuer thought that the rise of Wuque Hutong must be unspeakable. She went to visit the site. As she expected, although the shop there invited some beautiful beauties..."

"The 'Stunning Beauty' is not Ren Liu's original words, right?"

"Haha, I won't say the original words. In short, Wuque Hutong attracts guests not only beautiful colors, but also beautiful wine, and wine is more important."

"What wine is so great? I want to taste it."

"If the old Taoist is awake, he will know what kind of wine it is as soon as I say."

Hu Guiyang was stunned for a while, "I understand, there is such a magical wine that can make customers fascinated to this extent?"

"There are many aphrodisiacs in the world, and it is rare to be effective so powerful, so Ren Liuer went there a few more times and found out that this wine was not brewed by the store, but was specially provided by a shop called Guangxing. She wanted to go there a few more times and find out everything, but after the Erlang Temple accident, she could not go out."

"She went to Wuque Hutong, and the Ren family didn't know?"

"The madam doesn't know, the maid knows, but she won't disclose it."

"I wouldn't have disclosed it before, what about now?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if it is leaked, it's not a big deal. At most, it's just a little bit more topics of discussion."

"The old Taoist said that the backer of Wuque Hutong is Liang Fang, and he opened this Guangxingpu?"

"Nominally, it has nothing to do with Liang Fang, and the real situation is unknown. Ren Liu'er will not investigate again, and I will not interfere." Yuan Mao filled Hu Guiyang and himself one after another, "I can't figure out your ideas thoroughly, I only ask you for one thing."

"Don't involve you two."

"I'll give me a few months at least. I can't afford to pay the money to redeem her now. I can only do this bad thing and never let her go back to Ren's house."

"I only stayed at Ren's house for half an hour and felt it was a torment. Don't worry, my current plan is to wait for others to come to me and try not to cause trouble. Don't say it, this trick is quite useful."

"Thank you." Yuan Maoxiangan was respectful, "I owe you too many favors, I hope I can repay one or two one day."

Hu Guiyang drank all the wine in his glass, "No need to 'one day', you can pay back a little now."

Yuan Mao put down his wine glass, "What order do you have? Even if you say it."

"I have a few bad words to say to you."

Yuan Mao lowered his eyes and knew what Hu Guiyang was going to say, "You tell me."

Hu Guiyang had nothing to say, thinking for a while, "You make your own decision on your business, but you have to think clearly about who Ren Liuer is."

"She is different from you..."

"I'm not an imagination." Hu Guiyang interrupted Yuan Mao, "She is very smart. She uses this intelligence to make money, and you are also very smart, so it's best to make more money and be able to support her."

"I am just a Jinyi Captain, and our Guifang is also a Qingshui Yamen."

"Learn from him." Hu Guiyang pointed at Fan Dajian.

"Hey, I can't learn it. But don't worry, if Ren Liuer thinks I'm too poor one day and goes anywhere with her, I will never stop her, let alone learn from that ridiculous person to seek death."

"For example, Zhu Jiutou?"

"He has been entangled when he has only seen Ren Liu'er, so he thinks of him when Ren Liu'er named him."

Fan Dajian suddenly woke up, sat up suddenly, slapped the table, "Where did you say just now? There are not many friends in life and death, one or two are enough."

"Who is a 'life friend' and Yuan Mao and who is a 'death friend'?"

"Haha, if you have to choose, you are a 'death friend'. Every time it comes the festival, Yuan Mao and I happen to have an excuse to drink."

Hu Guiyang laughed, Yuan Maoze became more and more ashamed. The old Taoist thought he was his best friend, but he had secrets that he had to hide and not tell.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark outside, Hu Gui raised himself and said, "I have to leave."

"I haven't had enough fun yet, why are you going home?" Fan Dajian ignored all the sleep time.

"I'm going to stay in the haunted house for one night tonight. As you wish, maybe I'll die in it."

"Hey, I'm kidding. It's not too late to go when I've done a ritual. Don't leave." Fan Dajian couldn't keep Hu Guiyang and had to say to Yuan Mao: "Sometimes he is so brave that I'm scared."

"He is not brave, he just doesn't believe in evil."

"It's okay if you don't believe in evil, but this guy doesn't believe in the official or the boss, he will sooner or later get into big trouble." Fan Dajian sighed worriedly, "He doesn't believe in evil, others believe in it. If someone uses the reputation of the 'haunted house' to do something - this was what our Lingji Palace did last year. Hu Guiyang escaped by luck, it's better not to have such a thing again this year."
