Chapter 381 own room(1/2)

Hu Guiyang returned home, ate, practiced boxing, teased the dog, and slept. Before closing his eyes, he said to himself: "Nansi is not bad, what is the difference between cleaning the house at home and cleaning the house in the yamen?"

He continued to live his leisurely life, occasionally going out to find a place suitable for burying the divine jade, and always returned in disappointment and felt that it was not hidden enough, so he bought a few jade pendants, with the color and style quite similar to the golden elixir jade pendants.

Three days later, the transfer order from the Western Factory was indeed sent, and the superiors ordered Hu Guiyang to report to the Jinyiwei South Office the next day.

Hu Guiyang delayed all morning before entering the Nansi gate at dusk.

Liang Xiu waited for more than a day, and frivolously received the lieutenant, quickly processed the official documents, ordered people to give them waist cards and other items, and then said: "You have been assigned to your own room, go to report there."

"Hey, who is Guifang now?"

"No one has returned, it has been cut off and removed long ago." Liang Xiu waved his hand and buried his head in checking the remaining documents. Even if there is only a little time left, it will not be wasted.

Hu Guiyang took his leave, went out and turned around, and soon found his own house.

In his room, three clerks, led by their immediate superiors, were also trying to write quickly, looking up at the reporter, and asking him to wait at the door, "The palm room is not here."

"Who is the master in the palm room?" Hu Guiyang's question was like a rock sinking into the sea. He had to stand there patiently and look at it slowly.

There is a lot of paper and ink in my room, and I can't see the atmosphere of investigating the case. It looks like a study room dedicated to copying. Three clerks occasionally talk in a low voice, asking about the way of writing a certain word or the right or wrong of a certain title.

It was getting dark, and the palm room finally pushed the door open and came in. The three clerks hurriedly came forward to pay their respects. After getting permission, they packed up their pen and paper and left, which was the end of the day's work.

Hu Guiyang recognized the palm of the house and said in surprise: "Has Zuo Baihu transferred from the East Factory back to the guard?"

Zuo Qiao was thin and had no expression of joy and anger. He ignored Hu Guiyang, found several documents, looked carefully, and then raised his head after all the clerks left, "Captain Hu Guiyang."

"Uh, it's me."

"Okay, you're here in time. I'll follow me to catch people later."

"I'm going to arrest someone now? I just returned to Nanshi and am not familiar with our own family." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"Let's get to know each other again in the future. You are just a captain, and you will catch people everywhere you go."

"Thank you for your trust."

Zuo Yu huhed and continued to check the official documents.

Someone knocked in, held the folded clothes, pressed a knife on the top, placed it on the table at the door, and joked with Zuo Yu before saying goodbye, and pretended not to see Hu Guiyang.

"My?" Hu Guiyang asked.

Zuo Yu nodded, put away the official documents, walked out, "Change and set off immediately."

"Okay, I haven't worn official uniforms for a long time, and I don't have a knife anymore. I really miss you..." Hu Guiyang changed into new clothes, new boots, hung up his waist knife, placed his old clothes casually, pushed the door out of the house, shouted: "Zuobaihu!"

It was dark, and Zuo Yu walked out of another room, waved his hand, and took the lead in walking out of the yamen.

At the gate, four more lieutenants joined, and the households were silent. They didn't like to talk, followed them and no one looked at each other.

The horses were prepared outside the door, and six people held them away from the major yamen. They rode on the horse and galloped. Not long after, they arrived at a house near the river. Twenty monks lined up to pay homage to the hundreds of households in the palm of their houses, and then they got on horseback and joined the team.

The Nansi District is small and can only accommodate a small number of officials from each room, and a large number of subordinates are placed outside.

The action tonight seemed to be quite large, and no one in the team spoke, so he could only keep his mouth shut and follow Zuo Jie, and go wherever he said.

The final location was an inn in Nancheng. Someone had already guarded the front and back doors. When Zuo Yu arrived, he immediately stepped forward and said, "There is no abnormality."

At Zuo Yu's order, two lieutenants led six lieutenants into the inn. A lieutenant came back soon and bowed, saying, "The person has been taken down."

Zuo Yu turned around and glanced at his subordinates, his eyes fell on Hu Guiyang, he moved his fingers at him, and stepped into the store.

Hu Guiyang didn't understand what was going on, so someone pushed him and whispered: "Sir, let you follow in."

Nan Siji Fang arrested a businessman with great fanfare. He was so scared that he was shaking and sat on the ground with only trembling.

Zuo Yu sat down, three lieutenants stood behind him, and six lieutenants guarded the door.

"Come on the name," Zuo Yu said coldly.

"The little surname is Hu, his name is Hu, Hu Wenhai."

It was actually his own family, and Hu Guiyang controlled his mouth. This was not the place where he spoke.

Zuo Yu stared at the businessman, "Hu Wenhai, from Yuhang County, is a businessman, and he still has a wife and two sons at home, right?"

Hu Wenhai was shocked, "Yes, sir... do sir know?"

"Not yesterday, you went to Hua's house in the Gatelou Hutong to visit, and Shen Shier left, right?"

Hu Wenhai became more and more surprised, "Yes, sir..."

Hu Guiyang was also surprised, but he remained silent obediently.

"It's your turn to say it." Zuo Yu said.

"What did you say?" Hu Wenhai was still confused.

"Who is entrusted by you? What's going to talk about when you go to the Hua family? Come here as it is true. If there is a lie, go to the Jinyiwei with us, where everyone will tell the truth."

Hu Wenhai's face turned pale, thinking that the other party knew everything, so he hurriedly said, "I really don't know that this is illegal, otherwise I wouldn't dare to accept it if I gave me ten courage."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Yes, I... I... I was entrusted by Mr. He in Hangzhou to Beijing to send a box of gifts to the Hua family, which contained cloth and silver. The young master of the Hua family kept me with a few glasses of wine and discussed the marriage...that's all."

"Who is Mr. He?"

Hu Wenhai looked confused and said for a while: "It's... Mr. He, a master I met before boarding the boat. He seemed to be quite rich. He invited me to a restaurant for dinner. He asked me to bring gifts at the dinner table and gave me fifty taels of silver as a thank-you gold. He also said that if you have any problems in the future, please ask me. I thought..."

Fifty taels of silver are not a decimal, Hu Wenhai immediately agreed and went to Hua's house to give gifts. He thought it was very simple, but he never expected that it would attract Jinyiwei.

"Where is this Mr. He's home?"

"He, he didn't say that he knew where my home was and said he would visit him someday."

"What's the appearance?"

"I was in my fifties, not tall or short, not fat or thin, and I should be from Hangzhou."

This description is the same as if it wasn't said, but Zuo Yu turned his head and looked at Hu Guiyang, "Do you have any impression?"

"I'm in my fifties, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, well, I have an impression, and there are still many, but I don't have a Hangzhou accent."

Zuo Yu said nothing and said to Hu Wenhai: "Whose marriage are you talking about at the Hua family?"

"Miss He family's marriage with Hu Guiyang, the captain of the Jinyi in the capital."

"Do you recognize Hu Guiyang?"

Hu Wenhai shook his head.

"What did you talk about the marriage?"

"Uh... The young master of the Hua family said he would get married next year and would be in front of his uncle no matter what. I guess his uncle is this Captain Hu. I said your uncle is so lucky. The He family is a wealthy family and has countless dowry to his daughter. Today is a box, and there are more in the future. Actually, I just said casually. How can I know how much the He family wants to give?"

Hu Wenhai has a good memory and retells his conversation with Brother Hua. It was all a chat. In the middle, he also commented on the spring courtyards. Brother Hua is not old and knows a lot, but his mother is too strict with him, so he can only yearn for it and dare not really go...

Hu Guiyang wanted to laugh in his ears.

"Enough." Zuo Yu shouted, "You will go back to Yuhang tomorrow. If you meet Mr. He again, report to the official immediately no matter where you are. Do you understand?"

"I understand, is this Mr. He a thief Wang Yang? How could he marry the Captain Jinyi?" Hu Wenhai found that the danger had passed and his curiosity suddenly arose.

Zuo Yu got up and took the people away, and a group of people rode back to the outside yamen.

In the hall, Zuo Yu left Hu Guiyang alone, "What do you think?"

"I think... there is no need to bring so many people, one school captain and two escorts, and even the adults don't have to go out in person."

"I didn't ask you this."

"Oh, sir, are you talking about marriage? I think it's okay. The box of gifts from Grandma Hua will definitely leave most of them, and there will be no more left in my hands."

"You might as well tell you that someone is monitoring the Hua family, and the Nansi in Hangzhou has sent someone there, so the He family can't hide it for long."

"I believe that Nansi will definitely bring the He family to justice, but I don't know what they have violated?"

"Don't pretend to be confused."

"I dare not, but I really think that Shenyu is not in the He family. Otherwise, they would be too stupid and would fall into the trap. I think Hu Guiyang, although I am a handsome man, wouldn't let my daughter take the risk of marrying her, right?"

"Marrying is just a trick to fool the eyes. The He family has another way to hide the truth, but this time they can't escape."

"No one can take the case out by Liang Zhenfu and Zuo Baihu."

"The Hua family can't escape."

"What's the matter with Guan Hua's family? The mother and son are purely enthusiastic and know nothing about Shenyu."

"That's the Hua family is unlucky and innocently implicated."

Hu Guiyang stared at Zuo Yu for a while and smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that the so-called tricks are to make you find the wrong target. Nan Si stared at the Hua family, the He family and the businessman in the middle, and he was probably just in a trap."

"How do you know that Nan Si is only staring at these people?"

"I don't know anything, I'm guessing randomly."

"From tomorrow, you come to your room to do business, go."

Hu Guiyang took his leave, stopped at the door, and smiled and said, "Can the horse ride? I live far away and walk here every day, but I'm very tired."

"You are just trying to use it in your own room, and you can't get a horse."
