Hu Guiyang had a good sleep. It was almost noon when he arrived at his room. The study room was filled with people, including a total of fifteen or sixteen households, the general flag and the small flag. He was discussing the plan to find people and arrest them.

The hundred-house Zuo Yu was also among them, chatting and laughing. He looked like an old friend who had known Jiang Yun for many years. He obviously learned the details of Jiang's experience from the Jinyiwei, swept away the doubts and resistance in his heart, and did his best to curry favor with this "power-grabber".

Hu Guiyang stood at the door, unable to move in an instant. After listening for a while, he found that these people were just general and did not propose a real and effective method. However, Jiang Yun listened very seriously, occasionally asking questions or expressing praise, but in short, it must be satisfactory and think that he is appreciated.

Half an hour later, Hu Guiyang's stomach was ginger and the others were hungry. The military officials just left. When Zuo Yu passed by Hu Guiyang, he shouted to him: "Doing things well and following Jiang is your blessing. There is a bright future. We all envy you."

Zuo Yu had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "I am asking for good words to you, but I don't have high requirements. It's enough to be promoted to a deputy, a thousand households."

The deputy Qianhu was just higher in grade than everyone present. Zuo Yu and others sneered, and no one answered.

The officers left, and the servants came in immediately and asked if they had started their meals here. After receiving a positive answer, eight dishes were brought in, a bowl of rice and a pot of tea.

There is no drink allowed in the yamen, and the servant leader stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, if there are other needs, we can also satisfy it. For example, tea may not be necessary in the pot..."

"Haha, thank you, I don't need it today. I will take another pair of bowls and chopsticks and I will eat with Captain Hu."

"Yes." When the servant leader stepped down, he did not hide his envy for Hu Guiyang on his face.

"Then I'm not polite." Hu Guiyang brought a stool and sat next to Jiang Yun. "The food here is much better than what I cooked myself."

When the bowls and chopsticks were brought, Hu Guiyang was polite for a while, and then let go of the big meal. After the rice was eaten, he asked for two more bowls, and he ate most of the dishes by himself.

The servants were surprised when they came in to pack up their things. The eight dishes were all large enough to fill the stomachs of three or four people, but today they almost didn't have enough.

The servant leader was frightened and trepidated, "I'll bring some pastries."

Jiang Yun looked at Hu Guiyang, and Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I can't eat it anymore."

“Then you don’t need it.”

There was no outsider in the study room, and Jiang Yun smiled and said, "I thought I would see you in a few days."

"Didn't I say it? The food here is good."

"Haha, welcome to come often. You can't send me off when you walk slowly."

Hu Guiyang didn't move, "I can follow you to investigate the case."

"I can't find it."

"But there is one thing you have to tell me the truth."

"Even if you ask me where I first ate flower wine, I will tell you the truth."

"It must be in Nanjing. I'm not familiar with that place, so it's useless to ask. Well, who are you?" Hu Guiyang asked this sentence yesterday and asked it again today.

"In Xiajiangyun..."

"No, I'm not asking for a name, at least tell me who you are in their eyes." Hu Guiyang pointed out the door.

"Zuobaihu and the others?"

"Yes, you must have some origins, so they are willing to be so servile. I can also go and inquire, but it's too troublesome, so why not ask you directly."

"This is a waste of trouble. Who are I in their eyes?... These people have never told me, so I can only guess."

"Who else can be more accurate than your guess?"

"Haha, too. I am a little famous in Nanjing. I guess the Jinyiwei here may not know. I like to make friends and have a lot of people in the capital, but there are many people in the world, so Jinyiwei may not be able to look down on me. My family's money has always been one hand in hand, and it is rare to have a overnight stay. After thinking about it, there is only one reason. I was the emperor who issued an order and specially invited me to investigate the whereabouts of Shenyu from Nanjing."

Hu Guiyang was shocked, "Really...the imperial edict?"

"I won't accept the false order."

"I admire you." Hu Guiyang bowed, "Fortunately I have to eat first and then talk, otherwise I would definitely not be happy with it. At least I dare not move the dishes in front of you."

"Haha, it turns out that an imperial edict is so powerful."

"How could the emperor summon you to Beijing? Your 'fame' is quite good."

"Famousness does not care about adults, but about who is spread. I served in Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue. I have loved to make friends in the world since I was a child. I joined the 25-year-old..."

"Very Dao? Your status must be higher than that of Chen Qianyuan."

"He is one of the ten great strong men of the Tao. The one who has the same status as him is the inkstone master, the one who has the same status as him is the paper master, the other who has the same status as him is the ink master, the one who has the same status as him is the guardian and the preaching, and I am more of him."

"Are you the writer?"

"The pen master is vacant, I am the scripture master."

"So many people, there are a lot of people in the Tao, right?"

“The total number is less than a thousand.”

"It's not as good as the Five Elements Teaching as a sect."

"It is very good to seek excellence but not too much."

"When Chen Qianyuan came to Beijing, I didn't see him being valued by the government. How could you get the imperial edict to summon him?"

"Chen Qianyuan came to Beijing alone, and most of the people who made friends with the heroes in the capital. I was recommended to the emperor. This recommender, Xiaowei Hu, should recognize him as the young security guard."

"Shang Shaobao retired and returned home, and he still has such great face?"

"In Yunyang Prefecture, Shang Shaobao made contributions. Before the Temple of Heaven worshipped the gods, Shang Shaobao also wrote letters many times, urging the emperor to put the country first, respect the ancestors and worship the heavens, and not to be deceived by the sorcerers of the world. Unfortunately, the emperor did not listen to outsiders at that time, and the only way he made was to transfer a jade pendant to the hands of the Chief Hu."

Hu Guiyang remembered, "And the jade pendant was sent to the palace by Shang Shao."

"Shang Shaobao got the jade pendant from me."

"What a big circle, no wonder you want to find the divine jade... Who did you get it from?"

“It has always been in the hands of the Great Dao.”

"This is strange."

"Not surprising. The Tianji Ship has been in the world for more than a hundred years. In order to inspire the power of mortals for use, many attempts have been made and many treasures have been leaked. It was not until Yunyang Mansion that it was finally successful. The jade pendant was passed down more than seventy years ago. There should be only one in the world, and the divine power can be stored far more than the so-called golden elixir. There is only one trouble, and the divine power can only enter but not exit."

"So you dedicate it to the emperor, hoping to collect divine power."

"That's true. Although the divine power is strong, it is not the power that ordinary people should have. We originally thought that our hopes are slim, but we had to try it once, but we didn't expect that we would accomplish great achievements in the hands of Captain Hu."

"Hey, what a great achievement. Since it's done, why do you want to find the divine jade again?"

"I just said that the divine jade only enters and does not leave the divine power, but there are rumors recently that there may be a way to take out the divine power and spread it again in the world."

"I have heard similar statements, and some people even told me that the Tianji Ship intends to spread divine power to observe the changes of mortals. If the Tianji Ship's wish is not satisfied, when it comes again, it is likely to release more divine power and cause greater harm."

"There is this possibility that is consistent with the 'the secret of heaven comes again, and the strange one ascends', but this is a matter in the future, and no one can guess the true intention of the ship of heaven. I just want to retrieve the divine jade and destroy it now."

"You have a way to destroy the Divine Jade?"

"The divine jade is afraid of fire. If the record is correct, burning it with strong fire for three consecutive months may destroy the divine jade, and the divine power inside will be released, so when burning the jade, it must be in a land where no one is left."

"If there is no one, who will make firewood?"

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "There is a fire in the northwest, which often burns for several years, and no grass grows in a radius of dozens of miles. This is the best place to destroy jade. I have found several locations, and the only one who can be separated is divine jade."

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "Does the emperor know you want to destroy the divine jade?"

"Go step by step, first look for the divine jade, and then slowly persuade the emperor to destroy the divine jade."

"Hey, you're really telling the truth, and you're not afraid of me telling me."

"I have been intimate and I will never regret it even if I die."

Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "After you say this, I can't tell you. Anyway, I can't find anyone to tell you about it, and none of my bosses will believe me."

"Is there anything else to ask about Captain Hu?"

"It's gone for the time being." Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "What is your plan?"

"Is Captain Hu willing to be my helper?"

Hu Guiyang thought for a while and patted the table gently, "I am idle too. I heard you have something interesting to say, so let's participate. The ugly words are ahead, I am lazy. If you are dissatisfied, you can say it at any time. It is impossible for me to correct it, but I can quit and continue to be a lieutenant of the Qingyi School."

"Don't worry, what I see as Captain Hu is not diligent, but..."

"clever?"

Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head, "Ambition."

"Ambition? I just said I was lazy, but you actually liked my 'ambition'?"

"Person Hu does not believe in ghosts and gods. This alone is enough to surpass the thousands of captains of the Jinyiwei."

"Is it ambition to not believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Think, this is especially important when looking for divine jade. In the face of divine power, few people can remain firm. The emperor cannot, the eunuchs in the palace cannot, civil and military officials cannot, and even Shang Shaobao cannot. He must stay away to achieve a 'clear onlookers'. I have repeatedly asked myself that if the divine jade is really placed in front of me, I may not be moved. Therefore, the "not believing in ghosts and gods" of Hu is very important. Without your help, who can bear to send the divine jade into the earth fire?"

Hu Guiyang almost said that Shenyu was in this room and was buried by old papers, but he held it back. It was not that he doubted Jiang Yun, but that he felt that it was boring to tell the truth too early.

"So I am so important." Hu Guiyang smiled.

“You are very important.”

"I thought you just wanted to find the divine jade from me."

"I have asked, if you say that the divine jade is not on you, that is not on you. I believe, let's go find it elsewhere."

“Where to find it?”
