In the inn, Juren Guo refused to enter the city to share the golden elixir. He was used to being free in the mountains and could not accept any form of "recruitment".

Juren Guo did not return to the mountains immediately, but took the opportunity to visit acquaintances near the capital. One was to wish New Year's greetings and the other was to inquire about the news. The nameless soldier needed golden elixirs, and even if his character was not good, he could maintain it for a while.

The soldiers obeyed Juren Guo, but one thing was that they never took off their military uniforms. Juren Guo had to place him in a small shop, guarded by his son Guo Yu. He went out alone and tried to return as early as possible.

Things didn't go very well. Most of the friends of Juren Guo made friends when he was young. The youngest was nearly fifty years old. He had already washed his hands. He didn't even know what the Yunyang Jindan was.

The golden elixir in his hand was about to be exhausted and had to be saved and used, but the soldier could not understand this. His condition worsened and his temper gradually became irritable. Guo Yu couldn't suppress it and could only change to his father's shop guarding him. He went out to find a way.

"If it really doesn't work... just go find Master Hu." Juren Guo's pride had to bow to reality. He had to admit that he could do nothing outside the mountain. Even the small shop was rented at a high price. Apart from that, he could not find a suitable place to live.

Guo Yu had no way, so he could only follow his father's instructions, inquire everywhere along the way, and visit several places to visit.

He still found nothing. After two days, he only found one of the five families. The other four families had either moved to nowhere or the head of the family had died, and his relatives did not remember anything about Juren Guo.

Guo Yu was desperate and decided to go back to the store and persuaded his father to go to Hu Guiyang early, or be more determined, so he simply gave up the nameless soldiers and returned to the mountains to re-identify. Perhaps strangers would appear among the mountain people.

There was no one in the store, the only shopkeeper, the shopkeeper and the clerk, who was missing, Guo Yu didn't care much. As soon as he entered the backyard, he immediately felt something was wrong. The soldier did not shout, and his father did not wary of asking.

He pushed the door and saw two corpses. The soldier was on his back and his throat was squirmed. The blood flowed out like a red rope that strangled his neck. His father was lying not far away, without any injuries, and a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. His body was stiff and he had no breath.

"So I came to the city to find Captain Hu, which is my father's last wish." Guo Yu said carefully, staring at Hu Guiyang. As long as the other party showed a hint of embarrassment, he would say goodbye immediately. Even if he was sleeping on the streets or was taken down by the officers and soldiers, he would not cause trouble.

"Eat a meal first, stay with me for one night, and I'll talk about other things tomorrow."

Hu Guiyang was not cold or enthusiastic. Guo Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to accept it. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your intake. The owner probably saw the body and was afraid of being questioned by the government, so he ran away. Now the body is still in the store. I have no other extravagance. I just hope that Hu can help me to transport my father's body back to the mountains with one mule and one cart."

"Don't worry, this is simple, so let's have a meal first."

The servants at Zhao's house were not complete, and the food was still the same. There was a pot of wine. Hu Guiyang accompanied Guo Yu to eat with him and said with a smile: "Sorry, there is nothing good here. There may be improvement tomorrow. Let's go to the restaurant the day after tomorrow? Sorry, I forgot your current situation."

Guo Yu was not picky and ate a lot of rice, and said vaguely: "It's very good, very good."

After the two finished their meal, Hu Guiyang sent Guo Yu to find a room to rest, and asked on the way: "How did you find this place?"

"My father told me about your residence in Shijia Hutong before he died. I went there. There was no one in your house. An old master gave me a guide and said that you had moved to Guanyin Temple Hutong."

Hu Guiyang didn't remember that he had disclosed his address to Juren Guo, so he could only speculate that the old patriarch was meticulous and had inquired secretly.

"Good rest. I'm going to go out tomorrow morning and I'll come back in the evening. If you stay here, don't go out. If someone asks you, don't answer anything."

"Of course, I was looking for Captain Hu, and I don't know anyone."

Hu Guiyang smiled and bowed to say goodbye.

He didn't want Guo Yu to reveal the details, so that when he went to see the factory tomorrow, there was no need to disclose too much.

The next morning, he rode his horse to the West Factory alone, waited for nearly two hours, drank several pots of tea, and when he had nothing to talk to with the hundred household Wei Ying, Wang Zhi finally arrived late.

Hu Guiyang was called to the court to meet the factory and waited in line at the door.

Wang Zhi handled official duties in turn, and it was Hu Guiyang's turn in the end. He said to Wei Ying first: "From tomorrow, you don't have to be on duty. Go to Zhao's house to investigate the case with Hu Guiyang."

"As for orders." Wei Ying didn't ask much.

Wang Zhi turned to Hu Guiyang, "Is the driving post I gave you last year still here?"

"Stay well."

“Submit it.”

Hu Guiyang held it up with both hands, Wang Zhi held it with one hand, and picked up another brand new driver's post, "You can investigate the case in the future."

Hu Guiyang reached out to pick him up, and Wang Zhi shook his head, "You are the captain, Wei Ying is a hundred households, of course, he will keep the card. No matter where you go in the future, you will have to walk with him."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "Wouldn't Wei Baihu become a long-legged carriage?"

"Whatever you think." Wang Zhi handed the car post to Wei Ying and continued: "Give you a month, no matter which step you find, you must stop immediately. Do you understand?"

“It’s the first month now…”

"What's wrong with the first month of the year? Are you still planning to eat, drink and have fun?"

"The first month is just right, and it is the only way to cause Wei Baihu to suffer together with me, and I feel uneasy."

"You are still implicating me. If you are uneasy, don't smile." Wang Zhi said angrily, thinking for a while, "The military and civilians in the capital, the court will ask you, but you can't enter the palace. This time is different from the last time. You can't enter the palace even if you step in the palace, and you won't be able to enter the palace no matter how many reasons are."

"Remember."

Wang Zhi waved his hand, "Get out."

Hu Guiyang didn't move.

"Are you not satisfied?" Wang Zhi seemed very annoyed.

"Satisfied, but one thing must be asked clearly."

"Ask."

"As the factory said, Wei Baihu is a Baihu, I am the captain, we investigate the case together, who will listen to whom?"

Wang Zhi was stunned, "Higher, noble and humble are the right way to be unchanged forever. You are a little... you are a lieutenant, but you still want to order hundreds of households?"

"I don't want to." Hu Guiyang glanced at Wei Ying, smiled at him, and continued: "Since it is the head of Wei Baihu, the factory man should have said what he said just now, and he should also be responsible for the one-month period. I just follow the errands and come up with ideas if I need it."

Wang Zhi shot the case, "Every time I see you, my mood will be affected for a day. Do you want to investigate the case?"

"I think, but the factory tied my legs first and let me run. This... I can't take a step."

Wang Zhi frowned, not very understanding what Hu Guiyang meant. Wei Ying stepped forward and bowed: "Business is the most important, and the rank is the least. Hu Zhengwei's ability to investigate the case is obvious to all. He has long been qualified to be promoted to a hundred households. I have no objection to this case."

Wang pointed straight at Wei Ying, "Look at him, Hu Guiyang, look at him."

Hu Guiyang turned his head and stared at Wei Ying, and smiled and said, "Sir, there are a lot of them. I remember. According to this calculation, how big should the factory be? I feel like I am standing by the beach, with a glance..."

"Is there anything else? Get out of here if you have nothing to do, I don't want to listen to you." Wang Zhi waved his hand repeatedly.

"money……"

"Ask Wei Ying." Wang Zhi only asked this person to disappear from his eyes as soon as possible.

Hu Guiyang bowed and said at the door, "The West Factory employs people without regard to their origins. If it is about the high and low, it will not be beneficial to the factory."

Before Wang Zhi could understand, Hu Guiyang had already withdrawn from the court.

Wei Ying followed up and said with a smile: "Person Hu is really brave... The factory is also very fond of you than ordinary people. If it were someone else, it would have caused a disaster for death."

"This is not called being pampered, it is called not worrying if you have too much debt."

Wei Ying laughed and bowed, "I will go to the mansion to meet tomorrow morning."

"Waiting for the big drive."

No one in the West Factory asked about Guo Yu's origin, and Hu Guiyang did not mention it.

It was already past noon, and Hu Guiyang felt that there was still some time to go to Nancheng when he was hungry.

Chen Qianyuan rented a small escort courtyard in a escort agency. As soon as he received the notice, he immediately came out to greet him. This time he did not pretend to be cold and smiled: "I wish you a happy New Year to Captain Hu. If I had known that Captain Hu had returned to Beijing, I had never visited the mansion. It was rude and rude."

"Don't, I didn't bring any gifts, you don't have to pay New Year's greetings. Let's be true friends."

"Haha, that's right, true friends don't talk about false etiquette, please come in."

When he entered the room, Hu Guiyang recommended all the tea and wine requests and said, "I won't come to the door if I have nothing to do. I have a few things to ask clearly. After today, I'm afraid there will be no chance."

"Oh? What happened to you today?"

"From tomorrow, no matter where I go or whoever I meet, I will bring a hundred households in brocade clothes. Would you like to see him?"

Chen Qianyuan immediately shook his head, "Except for Captain Hu, I don't want to see any Jinyiwei."

"How did you know Gu Zhongxian?"

"I have been looking for ways to restore magical skills, and the immortal Gu Zhong is doing the same thing. We are like-minded. He sent someone to the door and the two sides hit it off." Chen Qianyuan said it briefly, but he did not hide it.

"And the immortal in the valley has a golden elixir in his hand."

"There is such a rumor, but I have never seen it before. I heard that Captain Hu got one?"

"He sent someone to give me one."

Chen Qianyuan was silent for a while and said dryly: "The immortal in Guzhong is more optimistic about Captain Hu."

"Yes, I'm so optimistic. I first sent someone to talk nonsense outside my wall, and then I tried to tamper with the food I gave me in that yard, and I had to turn me into a stranger."

Chen Qianyuan laughed twice, "I am only responsible for venting and reporting, and other things have nothing to do with me."

"Then please report it again."

"Person Hu, please tell me."

"Please tell the immortal of Guzhong. I will investigate the cause of the death of the two strange people tomorrow. If the emperor is not avoided, the heroes will not hide from him. He will either come here in person and explain it to me clearly, or wait for me to come to the door and examine it clearly."

Chen Qianyuan stayed for a while, "Two people died in Yiren? The immortal in Guzhong was the first imperial prisoner in the court. If the Chief Hu had not learned about it, I would not even admit that I knew him. It is OK to tell the news, but I don't think he would come to the city."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "It's okay, you have to make it clear first, so as not to complain to each other in the future. Brother Chen won't interfere, right?"

Chen Qianyuan shook his head, "My interaction with the immortal in the valley is limited to finding ways to restore magical skills together."

Hu Guiyang stood up and said goodbye, "Why do you always say 'restoring magical skills'? To be honest, I don't think 'restoring magical skills' once belonged to any mortal, so how can you talk about 'restoring'?"

"Believe it or not, it's just a matter of a moment. Captain Hu should concentrate on investigating the case. If you need help, please speak at any time. I will do my best to cooperate. The Yiren is an immortal to me. How could the immortal be killed? I really want to know the reason, and other Yiren must have the same idea. If Captain Hu can find out the truth, the thanks you will get will be unexpected."

Hu Guiyang sighed, then smiled and said, "Unexpected? I like unexpected."
