Chapter 26 Fishing in Troubled Waters

(Please collect and recommend)

Along the way, Hu Guiyang returned to Guanyin Temple Hutong. Before he stepped into the entrance of the alley, three brothers immediately came up from different directions. They should have been hiding in the dark to monitor pedestrians, but then made an exception.

"Hey, three brothers, where are you going to play?" Hu Guiyang greeted him warmly.

"You still dare to come back?" "Why are you back?" "How did you come back?"

Three people asked three questions.

Hu Guiyang yawned again, "I've been busy all night and go home to sleep - is Zhao's house still my home?"

The three of them looked at each other, one said, "Go to see the eldest brother." The other said, "Of course we have to see the fifth brother." The third person did not comment.

Hu Guiyang ignored them and continued to walk into the alley, saying hello when he saw people along the way.

The residents in the alley are either adopted sons of the Zhao family or old neighbors for many years. They know each other and usually have to deal with each other when they meet, but today they all change their appearance. When they see Hu Guiyang, they are like meeting ghosts. They still bow down when they react slowly, but they can't say a word in their mouths. They turn around and run away if they can, whether they are their own or other people's homes.

Hu Guiyang still didn't care and walked with a smile. The three brothers behind caught up and followed more than ten steps behind. The opinions were obviously not unified.

There was no one in the huge Zhao house. Hu Guiyang still entered the front hall and found that the coffin was gone. He had to go out to find a guest room, take off his shoes, go to the kang and fall asleep.

This sleep was drowsy, and it seemed to be pushed and shouted. Hu Guiyang's answer in his dream was impeccable, but in fact he just ummed a few times and continued to sleep.

When he woke up, it was still bright and Hu Guiyang was sleeping very uncomfortable, but the sound in his ears was too noisy and he couldn't help sleeping soundly. He had to open his eyes and it took him a while to understand that someone was arguing in the room.

"... Not only me, but also a few brothers, all of whom have seen it with their own eyes, can there be fake?"

"It's not fake, but this is my third and sixth brother, and I'm back, so I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding..."

"Although they are my own brother, they are not young..."

Hu Guiyang turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Brother, fifth brother, you are here."

Hu Guishen, Hu Guimeng immediately shut up.

Hu Guimeng personally led a team to round up the Vulcan Cult last night and captured more than 100 people, but the most important leaders were missed. He was very angry and took a step forward, "How did you appear in the Vulcan Temple yesterday?"

Hu Guiyang stretched, "The one on the ground is called the Vermilion Bird Temple, and the one on the ground is the Fire God Temple. According to their meaning, the Fire God Temple is prepared for ordinary people, and the Vermilion Bird Temple is the place for faithful believers. According to my understanding, the Fire God is an emperor, and although his status is high, he does not care about the affairs. The Vermilion Bird Temple is a meeting hall, and the old mother of the Fire is the prime minister and the cabinet master. She has a lower status, but she has real power in her hands."

Boss, Lao Wu was stunned when he heard this.

"You, have you joined the Vulcan Cult?" The boss Hu Guishen was both surprised and worried, "Do you know who is that group of people?"

"If you know a little doctrine, you will be considered as joining the church, which of us brothers has not joined several cults?"

The "Juzi Captain" specializes in arresting people from all over the world and has a lot of contact with various sects. You must first understand something before you can catch people.

Hu Guishen's face relaxed, "I'll just say that, Brother Sanliu must be going to investigate the case."

Hu Guimeng didn't believe it, "How could it be such a coincidence... I ask you, how did you find there?"

"Accidentally, he was hidden in the Suzaku Temple. The fifth brother caught people without verifying it. He was a little impatient."

Hu Gui's face was cold, "The Vulcan Sect is only part of the outside world in the slit gate of the capital... How could you become the 'Successor of the Vulcan Sect'?"

"This is wronged. Brother Wu should have seen it last night. I happened to be standing there, and the flames happened to rise. Where is the successor?"

"Then why do you say 'Everyone kneels down'? Do you know that after you disappeared, all the believers and some officers and soldiers there knelt down to the flames?"

"The officers and soldiers also knelt?" Hu Guiyang found it funny, "That's just a joke, I didn't expect someone to take it seriously."

Hu Gui held it hard and then endured it, without getting angry, "It was the elder of the Vulcan Cult who took you away? Where are they? Who are they?"

"A blacksmith, a charcoal worker, and a..."

"I want a name."

"They don't say it."

"Then find someone to draw it."

"The face is covered." Hu Guiyang lied casually, "If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have let me back."

Hu Guimeng did not get angry, but his tone eased, "Brother Sanliu, the matter is getting worse and worse. If you continue to mess around like this, no one can help you."

"The fifth brother is right to remind me. If I think of something, I will tell you immediately. By the way, did something happen to my brother last night?"

Big brother, fifth brother looked at each other, and Hu Guishen said: "Nineteen."

The smile on Hu Guiyang's face disappeared. The nineteenth-handed man Hu Guirui was free and easy by nature, and was not careful in details. He had a great popularity among his brothers.

"Where is it?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"Just in the front hall, after moving the coffin away, he went back to sweep the floor..." Hu Guishen sighed and couldn't continue.

"About what time?" Hu Guiyang had guessed the answer in his heart.

"At night." Hu Guishen said vaguely.

"There are scars on the body, and the murderer ran away, right?"

"No one doubts you, you were not in the city last night, and many people can testify for you."

Hu Guiyang laughed, "I'm not in the city, but I'm participating in the evil god sacrifice outside the city."

Hu Guimeng couldn't bear it anymore, "Sanliu, when is it now? You have to be sarcastic when you speak. What do you know? What do you doubt?"

Hu Guiyang stood up on the kang, condescendingly, and shouted: "I know someone is setting up a plan to create a living demon fox. I doubt you all, yes, that's all!"

Hu Gui looked at him fiercely, and Hu Gui couldn't help but shake his head, "Sanliu, your words are really hurtful. We are all helping you, spare no effort."

Hu Guiyang sneered, "The three brothers were killed one after another, and they all happened in Guanyin Temple Hutong. Dozens of brothers were guarding strictly, so they actually allowed the murderer to come and go freely. In the eyes of outsiders, this was a crime committed by the demon fox. In my opinion, there was only one explanation: the murderer was among us, and more than one."

The room was quiet for a while, and Hu Gui said angrily: "You are ungrateful!"

"It's not good to be ungrateful? I feel my eyes are so bright." Hu Guiyang laughed and lowered his voice, "Several assassination, only once failed. Fifth brother, did you go out of the city to welcome Sixteenth brother and the others, have you really encountered an ambush? Sixteenth brother escaped, probably because of his high martial arts skills, right?"

Hu Gui's face turned red, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that my sixteenth brother and I have colluded and framed you specifically?"

"I just said that, I doubt everyone."

The two brothers glared at each other, and no one was willing to give in. The eldest brother Hu Guishen stepped forward to persuade him, "So many things happened, it is inevitable that we will doubt each other, but after all, we are brothers and have the same adoptive father."

Hu Guiming said, "Sanliu said that, he doubted everyone, and the eldest brother was no exception."

"If I really doubt me, I can't do anything about it." Hu Guishen smiled bitterly.

"Two brothers, don't waste time with me. Why don't you go and discuss how to perfectly turn me into a demon fox."

Hu Gui suddenly changed color, stared at Hu Guiyang, and finally turned around and left without saying a word.

Hu Guishen stayed and patiently advised: "Brother Sanliu, if you say that someone among our brothers has a strange intention, I believe it, but what benefits will you do if you offend all your brothers?"

"It just so everyone knows that I have a bad relationship with my brothers, so it is convenient for you to say that I have become a demon in the future."

"You, the more you speak, the less sarcastic you become." Hu Guishen's temper has always been gentle, and he was a little dissatisfied at this time and was about to leave.

Hu Guiyang said, "Brother, please do me a favor."

Hu Guishen stopped and said coldly: "Say it, don't go too far."

"Not too much, please tell me something to Wang Zhi of Xichang."

"I can't see the factory as soon as I want to."

"It's okay, when will I see you and when will I bring a message."

Hu Guishen thought for a while, "Okay, what do you mean?"

"After noon tomorrow, I will go to see Lord Yuan."

Hu Guishen was stunned, "What are you doing when I meet Lord Yuan? Have you found the whereabouts of your adopted father's body?"

"I just ask my elder brother to pass on the word. Can you understand it? That's Wang Zhi's business."

Hu Guishen shook his head in confusion, "The name of the factory is not a casual call. You are at least half a member of the public. Be careful."

The eldest brother and the fifth brother have left, and Hu Guiyang is not proud. His current strategy is to make everything clear and to make the situation more chaotic as much as possible. In this process, many good people will inevitably be wronged.

"There are already three. How many people do you have to kill to stop?" Hu Guiyang murmured. When it comes to fishing for troubled waters, the "demon fox" who secretly planned everything is the real master.

Sitting alone on the kang for a while, the third-ninth brother Hu Guida came in with food, and did not speak, and he was about to leave after putting it down. It was obvious that he heard of the third-ninth brother's words "doubt everyone" and felt hurt.

"Wait a minute." Hu Guiyang shouted.

"There is no poison in the meal." Hu Guida said coldly.

"I haven't become a demon fox yet, no one will poison me."

Hu Gui's face turned red with anger, "You even doubt me? Do you suspect that everything I did before was framed?"

Hu Guiyang looked at his brother Sanjiu with clear eyes and a smile, "I hope there is someone who can make me believe that, but the price of doing so may be me, and there are countless brothers' lives."

Hu Gui's expression was slowing down, "I decided to follow my elder brother in the future. I am a stupid person and only suitable for running errands. My fifth brother is more harsh, and I'm afraid I can't keep up."

“A wise choice.”

"Brother Sanliu should also choose one side. It is up to you alone and it is impossible to escape the predicament."

"No hurry, I have too many choices now, it's a bit dazzling." Hu Guiyang smiled.

"What else does Brother Sanliu have to do?" Hu Guida suddenly became cold again.

"Who decided to move the coffin?"

"The body is not there, and it is not appropriate to place the coffin there...why are you asking about this?"

"There are some clues in the coffin. The person who decided to move it away is the one I doubt the most."

Hu Guida was silent for a long time, "I have followed my elder brother. Do you still believe what I said?"

"It's true that it's the fifth brother." Hu Guiyang smiled slightly. This was the answer he wanted.

He had a premonition that the last moment was coming.
