You need power, don't rely on it.

The traveler walked in the wilderness, his throat was so thirsty that he smoked. He saw a small puddle in front of him, the water inside was turbid and dirty, but he couldn't care about so much, so he rushed over and wanted to drink.

At this time, the companions behind him caught up, tired and hungry, saying to him: "Walk a little further and there will be sweet and clean water in front."

"You haven't walked this road, how do you know there is clean water ahead?"

"The air seems to be getting wet, and there is a faint greenness in the distance, so I guess the clear water must be ahead."

"I'm already very thirsty. What if I can't hold on to the new water source? Or will the new water source be as dirty as well?"

"The water here is too dirty. If you drink it, you will most likely die. It is better to have hope and walk a little further."

What should travelers choose? Should they drink dangerous and practical dirty water, or go to a sweet and illusory distant water source?

The thirteenth brother Hu Guijian made a suggestion that he should not surrender to any force first, and seek power as much as possible. After the demon fox case was investigated, he would make a decision. Perhaps there was no need to make a choice at that time, and everything would come naturally.

So, Hu Guiyang now made up a story to answer.

Hu Guijian often had a smile on her face, but it was just right and never made the other party feel that she was ridiculed. After listening to the story of Sanliudi, he said: "After all the time, I am just one of the many lobbyists. The one who makes the decision and makes the choice is Sanliudi."

After thinking for a while, Hu Guiyang said, "I really have no choice, I can only do what Brother Thirteen said."

"Do you believe me?"

"I don't know... did Brother Thirteen once hope that I was a demon fox?"

When the Zhao brothers were in chaos, Hu Guijian was still in Nanjing and on his way back to Beijing, but with his status at home, it would be unlikely to say that he had not known it in advance.

Hu Guijian nodded, "Brother, the fifth brother has sent someone to deliver me a letter, I did not object, because the case of the Demon Fox is really too big, and there must be a result. And judging from the news I got at that time, the third and sixth brothers are indeed... a bit abnormal."

“I’ve been abnormal.”

"So when something strange happens, everyone will guess you first."

"What about now? Don't you doubt me?"

"It is hard to say that the adoptive father is not here, and the forty brothers are already a mess of sand, each with their own ideas."

"Thirty brothers." Hu Guiyang corrected that ten brothers had been killed.

Hu Guijian's expression was a little darker, "Brother, I did this wrong in the fifth brother. If my brother still has to divide it into 'useful' and 'useless', then the word 'brother' is worthless. But I am not here to defend myself, nor are I asking for forgiveness. I just hope that my third and sixth brothers will look forward to it and pass the level before me first. If there is one less thing, I will really be unable to swallow my breath. I will talk about it later."

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge? But I'm not a gentleman."

"It takes less than ten years, one or two months is enough. Now there are so many clues, it should not be difficult to find out the details of the demon fox."

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Thirteen. Don't drink the dirty water in front of me. Tomorrow I will go to the Xichang and Qianfu to ask Wang Zhi and Yuan Bin for Quan, and then I will talk about other things when I catch the real demon fox."

"There is also the East Factory, you have to go there too. Brother, Brother Wu..."

"I will go, when I start investigating the case." Hu Guiyang was not so generous, and could not forget his grudges with a smile, but he would not pester them.

Hu Guijian had nothing to say and bowed: "That's it. If you need me, just talk. However, I don't think we can call each other brothers again in the future."

"Didn't the adoptive father say that he is always supporting his family. It doesn't matter whether he is a brother or not. It's better not to be an enemy."

Hu Guijian said goodbye and left with a smile.

Hu Guiyang went to the backyard, and Madman He Wu was still eating buns, his face turned pale because of his choking, "No, I can't eat without wine or food."

"If you can't eat, take it out and feed it to the dog. There are many wild dogs in this area."

Crazy He Wu looked at Xiaobanbud buns and Dualbud cakes, "No hurry, I'll try again."

"Go and call me a mule cart first."

"What are you doing?" He Wu's madman is not the kind of "servant" who obeys everything.

"I want to go back to my home in the north and bring some things back."

Crazy He Wu put down the bun, walked towards the door, suddenly turned around, and said with a smile: "Did you grab this house? This is almost the same, it can be matched with my sister."

"Since I'm leaving me here alone, I'll live there first."

"Yes, live first, and you won't let go. Who dares to rob him? I'll beat him out." He Wu madman waved his fist.

There are often mule carts waiting to be hired at the entrance of the alley, and Madman He Wu quickly brought one.

Seeing that both of them were limping, the coachman nodded secretly and thought that this was really a pair of masters and servants.

Hu Guiyang asked He Wu to stay with the guard and took a car to Shijia Hutong by himself.

Crazy He Wu sat at the gate holding two wooden barrels, vowing to protect the house, not for the "master" Hu Guiyang, but for his sister.

Hu Guiyang was taken away from his home by the West Factory last time. The door and the yard were not locked. He pushed the door open and entered. He first saw that the yard was clean. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it. When he entered the house, he was spotless and cleaned up all the miscellaneous things. There were a few packages, clothes, weapons, silver, etc. neatly placed on the bed.

The coachman entered the house and moved the packages out one by one. Hu Guiyang walked around and had nothing to bring, so he found a spare key and lock and locked the door.

When locking the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun came, bowed from afar, saying "Master Hu" and kept congratulating the driver, which scared the driver and dared not underestimate this lame customer.

Hu Guiyang ignored these two people and got into the car and wanted to leave.

Zheng Sanhun hurriedly stopped the driver, Jiang Erpi quickly walked around the car, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu just got home, why are you leaving? We brothers have not had time to get close to Mr. Hu."

"Who cleaned up the house?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"The official, Lord Hu is now a big shot. He fought with the demon fox for 300 rounds, and the fight was earth-shaking..."

Jiang Erpi tossed and turned the same word, and Hu Guiyang interrupted him, "I have something to do, let's go first, and ask here frequently. If you have any news, go to Guanyin Temple Hutong to find me."

"I have news now." Jiang Erpi replied immediately.

Zheng Sanhun hurried over to grab the merits, "A group of guests came from the south and lived..."

Jiang Erpi pushed Zheng Sanhun for a moment, told him to shut up, and then said with a smile: "There are so many groups of guests who are so generous in the spring courtyard, which is very suspicious. The third brother and I are asking about their origins from multiple sources. Whenever there is a certain news, we will report it to Lord Hu immediately."

"Yes, yes." Zheng Sanhun reacted.

Hu Guiyang was very familiar with these two people, so he didn't show any concern and didn't give him a good look, "Okay, if you have any news, go find me. The person who drove the car, leave."

The coachman was about to wave the whip, but Jiang Erpi hurriedly said, "Wait a minute. This... Lord Hu, our brothers worked hard to find out the news, can we..."

"Give the news first and then the money, we have always been this rule."

"We don't want money this time." Jiang Erpi said.

"Yes, no money." Zheng Sanhun spoke with his eyes, his eyes were shiny, as if a hungry child had met his mother.

"No money, what do you want?"

"Mr. Hu is about to become famous now. Are there no trusted followers around me? Our brothers have been following Mr. Hu for a long time, going through fire and water, loyal to him..."

"Okay, let's talk about it after you get the news." Hu Guiyang took a picture of the carriage, and the coachman immediately shook the whip and drove the mule forward.

Jiang and Zheng stood at the door of Hu's house and watched, waving from time to time, as if a simple fellow villager had sent the villagers to Beijing for the exam, full of expectations and reluctance.

Hu Guiyang didn't expect these two people to find out important news, let alone make them believers.

Zhao's house was still empty, only He Wu's madman was watching the house, sitting at the gate and falling asleep, with two buckets containing buns and bread beside him.

Hu Guiyang jumped out of the car, and the coachman came over to help carry things with a smile. He placed them all in the front hall according to the instructions of the customer. Then he received a few coins of silver and returned with satisfaction, feeling that the deal was worth it.

Hu Guiyang stood outside the gate and looked around. The bustling alley was usually lively, and there was no one in sight today. Even the naughty children did not go out. Everyone seemed to have agreed to avoid the 36 Lang who escaped from death.

He walked up the steps and was about to wake up the madman He Wu, but suddenly he found a wooden barrel shaking slightly. He was shocked and thought something strange happened.

The barrel shaking became more and more violently, and soon stopped moving again.

Hu Guiyang walked up to check it out and couldn't help but laugh.

There is not only bread in the wooden barrel, but also a dog.

The dog was probably less than one year old, dirty and covered with broken noodles, vaguely yellow. It seemed that it was full and was trying hard to escape.

"He Wu Madman!"

Hu Guiyang screamed a few times, and Madman He Wu finally woke up with a confused look on his face, as if he had forgotten where he was.

"You are so generous, feed the cake to the dog."

Madman He Wu searched around and his eyes finally fell into the wooden barrel, "Hey, what is this?"

"Wang." The little yellow dog answered.

Crazy He Wu reached out and took out the yellow dog, "Where did you come from? How dare you steal my cake? I'm going to stew you."

The yellow dog honestly closed his legs together and stared at the human beings blankly.

"But you only have a few taels of meat, not enough for me to eat in one bite. Let's spare your life for the time being, get out of here."

Crazy He Wu threw the dog out without exerting too much force. The yellow dog fell to the steps, turned a few times, got up and ran to the alley.

Madman He Wu stood up, "Have you moved all the things here?"

"Yes." Hu Guiyang entered the yard, and He Wu's madman followed behind, and did not close the door. He nagged and arranged all the houses of Zhao's house for use.

Outside the house, the yellow dog ran away not far, stopped and turned around, and found that the two humans had not caught up. They tilted their heads and thought for a while, ran back to the gate, jumped up the steps, sniffed around the wooden barrel a few times, and it was no longer interested when it was full.

The side door was open, and the yellow dog entered uninvitedly. Following the smell, hesitated around the screen wall, and ran towards the front hall. Not far away, it smelled another smell, hesitated for a moment, and changed direction.

The yard is large and hard stone slabs are everywhere, with only one area exception, the soil is soft and the taste comes from here.

The yellow dog used its front paws to dig the soil, and felt that something more attractive than the dough cake was hidden under it.
