Chapter 389 The time is coming(1/2)

Hu Guiyang met his "home" Hu Wenhai again in an inn.

The inn is not far from the yamen outside the room, and the doors and windows have been reinforced. After the toll arrest the prisoner, he was unable to be sent to the yamen for various reasons, so he was temporarily detained here.

Inns rarely receive ordinary customers, and the guys are relatively silent. They never talk too much, and they recognize people but not certificates. They only want to put them in when they see familiar faces.

Hu Guiyang was taken to the store by a man who was chatting with his friend outside, and he went into the house alone.

After a few days of not seeing each other, Hu Wenhai lost weight and sat at the table in a daze. No one came in and noticed it. Until the other party came beside him, he suddenly stood up and sat down. His face turned pale in an instant, "You, you... me, I..."

Hu Guiyang was also shocked, sat opposite him, put his right arm on the table, and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, you are fine, I'm just here to see you."

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Hu Guiyang looked at his official uniform, "It's obvious."

Hu Wenhai left the stool and knelt on the ground, "Official, I'm really innocent. I handed over all the golden elixirs, and I didn't keep a single one..."

"Sit and talk."

Today, the captain was quite kind, and Hu Wenhai was not very adaptable. He knelt for a while before slowly getting up and sitting back on the stool, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden the golden elixir privately, but I won't commit a death sentence, right? Please give me a clear way, I'm willing to spend as much as possible."

"It's because you think too much...how much can you spend?"

Hu Wenhai's eyes lit up, and the businessman's nature could not be changed. He immediately said: "It's really difficult to have too much, three thousand... five thousand taels can always be taken out. If I can let me go back to my hometown, I can double it."

"Let's talk first, and then I'll see if there is any way to help you."

"Okay, what are you talking about? I've already explained it all."

"What do you feel special when chatting, like the night when you talk crazy?"

Hu Wenhai's face changed slightly, "I drank a little too much that night and felt confused. I remember the two women, one called themselves Luo's family and the other called Fengniang..."

"They are still looking for the Jindan?" Hu Guiyang was a little surprised.

"I have never heard of the eight words "The secret of heaven comes again, and the strange ones ascend to me." It must be their heads. As long as they catch them..."

Hu Guiyang smiled and shook his head. Luo and the bee girl were obviously working for the government. Hu Wenhai had not yet awakened. "Stop caring about others, remember carefully. What have you seen and heard when you were confused, just treat it as a dream."

"A dream?"

"Yes, recalling the dream will help me, and so will it for you."

Hu Wenhai thought about it carefully for a while, "A moment that night, I suddenly fell into a deep pit, unable to see the bottom, stretching out my hand and unable to see my five fingers, and then...and..."

"It's like a lightning bolt slashing down?"

"Yes, it's just a ray of light that flashed and disappeared again. All I can remember is this, nothing more."

Hu Wenhai's memories were almost the same as Yuan Mao. Hu Guiyang knew that he couldn't ask anything again, so he stood up and said, "Don't be afraid. Stay here for a few more days and haven't sent you to the yamen. This means that you are not a serious offender and may be released at any time."

"I asked the councillor Jiyan, I didn't do anything bad, I'm not worried about being sent to the yamen, but suddenly I disappeared. My two servants were afraid that they would be crazy, and their family members..."

"Please, where is your servant living? What is his name? Maybe I can send you a message."

Hu Wenhai knelt down again, "The best man is to be a great kind and a great virtue..."

"I don't have to be a cow or a horse, nor do I have to repay you in my next life. I just like the money I can use in this life."

Hu Wenhai felt a little distressed, "I have three or five thousand taels, but I may not be able to get it for a while. If it is one thousand taels..."

"Haha, I'm kidding you. It doesn't cost much money to pass a message. Tell me where your servant is."

"Thank you, two servants, one is Tao Ajin and the other is Tao Ayin."

"Good name."

"Now you should live in the old Zhaijiayuanhai store near Tongzhou Wharf."

"Tongzhou is so far away, okay, let's go and have a look when I have time."

"I'm storing a batch of luggage on the boat, which contains 500 taels of silver... As long as the host is willing to send a message, the money will belong to you." Hu Wenhai gritted his teeth.

"Get up, I'll go there anyway."

Hu Wenhai stood up and saw that the other party was willing to accept the money. He felt much more at ease. His trust in the captain increased a little, and bowed and said, "What do you call him a maid? I seem to have seen you."

"When a group of Jinyiwei went to ask questions, I was one of them."

"Oh, I remembered it, I dare to ask..."

"Don't ask, my surname is Hu, you don't have to know anything else."

"It turns out it's my family." Hu Wenhai was overjoyed and wanted to get close. Hu Guiyang turned around and was about to leave. He hurriedly said, "Prince Hu, please stay."

"I can only pass on a message, and other things will not help you."

"No, I have another dream. I wonder if Guan Ye wants to hear it?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Hu Guiyang turned around.

"It's not the dream I had that night, but I was in this store a few days ago."

"Are you talking crazy again?"

"I don't know if I said it."

Hu Guiyang smiled, "Tell me about your dream."

"I dreamed that I went back to my hometown and many people came to greet me. Even the third brother of the Li family whom I hadn't seen in more than ten years came..."

Hu Wenhai talked about the beautiful dreams he had in detail. Hu Guiyang listened patiently. After nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally couldn't bear it. "I have to leave, let's listen to your dream next time."

"I'm a little bit long-winded, and that's where it's strange."

"Yeah." Hu Guiyang planned to listen for a while.

"I started fighting in the hall with the third brother of the Li family. No one else persuaded me to fight. Instead, I watched the fun and laughed. I was very angry, so I pushed the third brother of the Li family down..."

"Nothing strange?"

"That's right. My woman suddenly came over and said she was my woman, but she had a bee girl's face, especially her slender waist... But in my dream, I thought she was her own woman, and she also thought I was my husband, and said to me, 'Honey, the time is coming'."

This dream is indeed a bit strange, "What else did she say?"

"It's gone, just one sentence, and then I continued to drink and forgot the third brother of the Li family. Is this dream useful?"

"It's hard to say." Hu Guiyang didn't say much, pushed the door out of the house, and returned to the yamen with Fanzishu.

Jiang Yun was still reading the document. After reading the complete copy, he looked up and said, "How is it?"

"There is no clue. I heard a boring dream. I think this Hu Wenhai is useless, so it's better to let it go."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Hu Wenhai didn't know when he was talking crazy. Will he say it again in the future? No one knows when he will say it. Please observe it for a while."

"What about other people? The adults said that ten people have spoken crazy."

"Some of these ten people are not in the capital, and some are not arrested even though they are in the capital, so you can only see one of them for the time being."

"Anyone who has been to Yunyang Mansion may have said crazy words..."

"At least ten more days, why do you care so much about him?"

"He promised me several thousand taels of silver."

"Ha ha."

"But it will probably be difficult for him to pay. I just feel that there is no need to involve innocent people and waste our manpower and energy."

"It is easy to practice when you are in the public school. If you can develop such kindness, your practice has reached a certain level."

"Sir, I will go to the inn at night and rob people."

"Haha, okay, keep him in for another five days, be sure he is no different from the others, and you can let him go."

"Thank you, if he is really willing to take out the money and destroy half a lifetime of practice, I will accept it and share it with the adults."

Jiang Yun shook his head and smiled, "He only knows how to thank him in vain, and will not be willing to pay money."

Jiang Yun lowered his head and prepared to continue checking the documents. Hu Guiyang said, "Can I meet Luo and the Bee Girl?"

Jiang Yuntou said without raising her head: "The two of hers do not belong to the Jinyiwei, I can't make any arrangements."

Hu Guiyang bowed and said, thinking that it would take a day to go to Tongzhou, he felt upset and murmured: "Let him go to find a servant by himself, so he can save money for him."

When Hu Guiyang went home, the gate of the yard was not locked. When he pushed the door open, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place. The whole yard was completely renovated, and even the window paper was pasted again. The courtyard was sprinkled with water, spotless.

It was not until Hu Guiyang saw the big cake huddled in the corner that he confirmed that it was indeed his own family. "You are not used to it, are you?"

Dapian ran over against the wall and rubbed the owner's leg twice.

Grandma Hua stood at the entrance of the hall, "I finally cleaned up, don't walk around, go back to the bedroom."

Hu Guiyang tried to raise his foot high, walked far away, and entered the room.

The bedroom was also cleaned up, with new clothes and boots on the table.

Hu Guiyang stood inside the door and shouted: "Is the silver enough?"

"Don't you have money? I've spent it all."

"Ah? That's three thousand taels!" Hu Guiyang was shocked.

"You can't keep your wealth in your destiny. You will sooner or later throw away three thousand taels in your hands, so I'll spend it for you."
