In the huge Zhao house, there were only two people and a dog living. After opening his eyes in the morning, Hu Guiyang's first decision was to recruit a few real servants.

He Wu was sleeping soundly in some room. Yellow Dog Dapiao kept guarding Hu Guiyang's door. When he saw him leaving the house, he rushed over, shook his tail hard, and gave the wooden sign in his mouth like a treasure.

Hu Guiyang took the wooden sign, without looking at it, and threw it directly at the other end of the yard. The pancake immediately chased after it and grabbed it with one mouthful before it landed on the ground.

There was still some wine and meat left last night. Hu Guiyang took a few bites and threw the rest on the ground. The pancake came and lie on the ground to eat. The wooden sign was still protected between the two front paws.

Hu Guiyang moved a chair to the steps outside the front hall door and waited for the guests to arrive.

Zhao Ying often did this during his lifetime. At that time, there were many people, with forty adopted sons, and several peripheral men. The yard was crowded with people, and only a very small number of them were qualified to reply, and most of them just came over to show respect.

Zhao Ying arrested many people and saved more people. He was backed by the Jinyiwei Nanshi. Although his official position was humble, his power was quite powerful, so he could attract many people from all walks of life.

Hu Guiyang was going to receive only three people.

The first one to arrive was the thirteenth brother Hu Guijian, representing the East Factory.

"Does the eldest brother and the fifth brother know about it? Do you agree?" Hu Guiyang stood up and asked.

"Brother, although the fifth brother is invested in the West Factory, he will never want to offend the East Factory because of this, so they support me to serve the East Factory." Hu Guijian smiled and stepped forward to salute, "I am ordered to assist you in investigating the case. If you are so polite to me, what should I do to others?"

Hu Guiyang sat down, "That's right, we are not brothers now."

"Let's do it again. After the case is over, maybe we can be brothers again."

Hu Guijian is not tall and has a very handsome appearance. He is a well-deserved handsome man among the adopted sons of the Zhao family. He always speaks flawlessly. No one can hate him, and Hu Guiyang cannot.

"Let's see." Hu Guiyang said this, but he didn't regard Thirteenth Brother as his enemy.

Before everyone arrived, Hu Guijian didn't ask about the investigation of the case, but just chatted. He went into the front hall to take a look, and came out and smiled, "The empty coffin of the adoptive father is still there, you actually have a dog in the hall."

"It's just an empty coffin. Even if his foster father is still lying inside, he won't care."

"Indeed, the adoptive father never cared about such things, and other people's opinions seemed to have no effect on him."

Speaking of the rebellious father Zhao Ying, there are more topics to talk about.

The second person from Xichang arrived.

The old eunuch Yun Dan changed into a blue cloth gown, looking a bit like a scholar, but his eyes were gloomy and his back was slightly hunched. He seemed to have failed to get a chance for a long time, so he was full of resentment and was like an old shopkeeper who failed to collect debts.

Hu Guiyang did not get up and said coldly: "Director Wang sent you here?"

"Yes." Yun Dan spitted a word from his throat and had to bow, "What does Hu Baihu need the West Factory to do? Please feel free to tell me what I will arrange."

“There’s one thing now.”

"Please give me some advice." Yun Dan lowered his head and refused to look at people.

"A lot of people have died in Zhao's school recently. I have to invite a group of monks and Taoists to come and save the dead. You are responsible."

Yun Dan's head lowered, and the deaths of seven adopted sons, two maids, and more than 20 Taoist priests were all related to him. Knowing that Hu Guiyang was sarcasm, he did not dare to do it, and replied: "The ritual has been done, and Hu Baihu will do it again?"

"That's it." Hu Guiyang didn't really want to do rituals. "I've always had ghosts in my house these days. You said you've done rituals, so maybe I'm thinking too much."

Yun Dan's old face turned red, he coughed twice, but did not respond.

There are outsiders, Hu Guiyang and Hu Guijian are not convenient for chatting, and the three of them don’t speak, it’s like playing a game to see who can’t bear the embarrassing silence first.

The yellow dog cake broke the silence. It was already full, and ran to Hu Guiyang's feet with a wooden sign in his mouth. He put down the sign, as if he knew the owner's intentions. He kept silent at Hu Guijian, but only shouted at Yundan a few times.

Yun Dan pretended that he didn't hear it. Hu Guiyang laughed and reached out to touch the dog's head to show encouragement.

Yuan Bin's follower Yuan Mao arrived the last time, and finally resolved Yun Dan's embarrassment.

Yuan Mao was not old, similar to Hu Guiyang. He was neither tall nor short. He was respectful when he was with an adult. Today he came alone, but he stood up from a distance with his head held high, bowed his hands slightly, and said, "I have seen Hu Baihu."

The people are all together.

Hu Guiyang sat on the chair and looked at the three of them, moved his butts, and his lips moved from side to side, as if thinking about an extremely important and extremely difficult thing. Finally, he stood up and said, "It's almost noon, let's go to have a meal first."

Hu Guiyang likes to sit in a teahouse, make a pot of good tea, and ask the paotang to go to the next noodle restaurant to get a large bowl of noodles, and add more money. The sauce should be thicker and oily, so you can increase your appetite by taking a look.

Today, he wants four bowls of noodles.

Hu Guijian is very familiar with this teahouse and this way of eating. He picked up chopsticks at the same time as Hu Guiyang, stood them up and weighed them on the table twice, and then ate with his head in a slew of his movements, as if he had trained them specifically. In fact, it was because there were too many brothers and he had to compete with me when eating.

After eating half a bowl, Hu Guiyang raised his head and said in surprise: "Why don't you eat? Are you not hungry?"

Yun Dan and Yuan Mao didn't even pick up the chopsticks.

"Uh... I'm not too hungry." Yun Dan said reluctantly, unwilling to make up more reasonable and more complicated reasons.

In contrast, Yuan Mao was much more straightforward, "It looks dirty and can't eat it."

Hu Guiyang had never been able to control his mouth and asked with a smile: "It's dirtier than the officialdom you've ever seen?"

Yuan Mao showed anger, and Hu Guijian said, "If you are used to eating the noodles on the street, you will have a taste. If you are not used to eating them, you will feel that they are too greasy. Can Hu Baihu eat them again?"

"Yes." Hu Guiyang bowed and brought Yuan Mao's face to his side. Yun Dan took the initiative to push the noodle bowl over. Hu Guijian stood up and took it, nodding to thank him.

After the two of them ate four bowls of noodles, Hu Guiyang drank a sip of tea, wiped his mouth, and said, "It is better to do things when you are full, and I will assign tasks now."

Yun Dan raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Yuan Mao looked around and said, "It's right here?"

There are not only seven or eight guests in the teahouse, but also seven or eight. They sit in different positions. The teahouse is not loud and the sound is slightly higher, so everyone can hear it clearly.

"It's okay, they are all acquaintances." Hu Guiyang didn't care.

Seeing that no one else objected, Yuan Mao nodded.

Hu Guiyang touched his stomach first and was about to speak when a duck voice came from outside, "Hu Guiyang, why don't you call me for dinner?"

Madman He Wu limped in and stood in front of Hu Guiyang angrily.

"Sit there." Hu Guiyang pointed to an empty table next to him, and then said to the shopkeeper Liu Si: "Go four bowls of noodles again."

The madman He Wu looked calmer, "Only face?"

"Only face."

"Then I want to add more sauce."

“Double.”

Madman He Wu walked away and said to the shopkeeper Liu Si: "The dishes you chose yesterday were good, so I will still have another meal tonight."

Manager Liu Si nodded with a smile, but looked at Hu Guiyang and nodded again.

Hu Guiyang turned to his deskmates, "Where did I say?"

Yun Dan and Yuan Mao were not easy to ask questions, and Hu Guijian said: "Who is this?"

"The servants who have won can eat and sleep, but can't work, fortunately, they will expire tomorrow."

The madman He Wu from the next table smiled and said, "Tomorrow expires, I will beat you the day after tomorrow."

Hu Guiyang ignored him and said to Hu Guijian: "I remembered it. I need a group of bodyguards who guard the house and protect the hospital. They are trustworthy, have high martial arts skills, and can block demon foxes and irrelevant people."

"No problem, I can find it tonight." Hu Guijian said, which was a trivial matter for him.

Yun Dan coughed and said, "The demon fox is a demon, and it cannot be stopped by mortals."

As soon as this said, except for the crazy man He Wu who was anxiously waiting for the noodles of sauce, everyone in the teahouse came over.

Hu Guiyang stared at the old eunuch and said after a while: "Who is suitable for defending against demons? Monk or Taoist priest?"

"Taoist." Yun Dan said affirmatively.

Hu Guiyang's eyes turned to Hu Guijian, "Then I will find a few more Taoist priests. First, we need to have strong magic power and second, we need to be moral. If you don't want the guy who even betrays his own people."

Hu Guijian nodded with a smile, and Yun Dan's old face turned red again, and she turned her head and looked away.

But Hu Guiyang insisted on speaking to the old eunuch, "Husband Yun, I have many important things to tell you."

"Husband" is a respectful title for eunuchs. Yun Dan said politely: "Please say that as long as it is something that the Xichang can do, we will never refuse."

"Okay, the first thing is that the demon fox came out on the night of the seventh day of the seventh month last year. After the demon Li Zilong was arrested, the demon fox disappeared. I want to interrogate the relevant criminals, especially Li Zilong."

"Li Zilong was locked in the palace." Yun Dan reminded.

"I know, so I asked the West Factory for help. If I can't even do this..."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask, maybe, but I can't promise."

"The second thing, I will interrogate all Taoist priests in Lingji Palace tomorrow..."

Yun Dan slapped the table and said angrily: "No!"

The other guests in the teahouse were startled and slipped away a few people.

Hu Guiyang looked up at the old eunuch, "So the West Factory did not do its best to assist me in investigating the case, but sent you to supervise me in investigating the case? It seems that I had a wrong communication with Wang Jiangong."

When Wang Zhi was mentioned, Yun Dan's anger subsided and he slowly sat down, "Lingji Palace... Who do you want to see? Tell me the name, don't everyone, right?"

"It must be everyone." Hu Guiyang became more serious. "Lingji Palace has already come to Zhao's house. It is casting spells and killing people again. I have to visit it again."

The two looked at each other, and finally Yun Dan gave in, "Okay, I will make arrangements."

Hu Guiyang smiled, "There is a third thing."

Yun Dan pressed his anger and said, "Please say."

"I am just a Yanshan vanguard now. I am humble and polite. Why do I investigate the case? Please arrange a position for me in the Jinyiwei, and don't give it to me in real terms. Just make a temporary appointment."

If Hu Guiyang had said this from the beginning, Yun Dan had a lot of reasons to refuse, but now he just replied indifferently: "Okay."

Hu Guiyang also said "Okay", stood up, "I'll be here today, the progress is going well, not far from finding out the truth about the demon fox."

Hu Guijian and Yun Dan both stood up and said goodbye, Yuan Mao also stood up, but did not leave, "Where is me? I have nothing to do with me, right?"

"No, there's something to you."

"Yeah." Yuan Mao seemed extremely reluctant.

"My temporary servant is about to expire, so you can stay for me as a entourage for a few days."

"It's too much!" Yuan Mao was stunned at first, then shouted sternly.
