"It's safer during the day. You must come back after dark. Stay in the backyard and don't even go to the front yard." He Sanjie'er reminded behind the door.

Hu Guiyang wanted to make a joke, so he glanced at He Wu's madman and forced himself to hold it back, "I'll try my best, sometimes I can't help myself..."

"It's not as good as possible, it's certain, you're in danger."

"What dangers can you explain in detail?"

The door was silent for a while, "I can't say it for the time being. Please believe me, Mr. Hu, I came for this."

"I'm worried about it for a while, but to be honest, we are not familiar with each other yet. I don't have to worry too much."

He Wu whispered: "Do you dare not appreciate it?"

"No, it's just like me... I can't afford it."

"Sister said yes, you can."

The voice inside the door said, "Brother, don't talk to Mr. Hu like this."

Crazy He Wu obeyed his sister's advice and immediately shut up and retreated aside, but he still looked at Hu Guiyang with dissatisfaction.

"Anyway, please be careful with Mr. Hu. I can't explain some things clearly, and the truth will come out in the future."

"Thank you." Hu Guiyang really didn't know what to say.

That night, he moved into an ear room in the backyard and tossed and turned, not because he picked up a bed, but was confused by He Sanjie'er. Why did she say the three words "hold on"? What is there to stick to? What is the original intention? The two of them had never met before, so why did her tone seem very familiar?

In the end, he fell asleep, dreams one by one, unable to tell whether it was a beautiful dream or a nightmare, and after waking up, he forgot everything.

But he was in a good mood. After washing up, he drank two bowls of rice porridge in a row, and praised him endlessly.

The madman He Wu, who delivered the meal, said, "Is it delicious? This is the porridge made by my sister himself, so you have a good taste."

Hu Guiyang couldn't help but think that it would be nice to keep He Sanjie as a cook.

The eunuch Yun Dan was the first to arrive and brought three Taoist priests.

Fan Dajian, Wang Daxuan, and Tian Dachang are all disciples of the "Da" generation of Lingji Palace. They have the title of "real person" granted by the court. Fan Dajian is a senior brother. He was in the Tai Chi position and had a childish face. He was the most imposing figure of immortality.

"We are here to apologize." Fan Dajian spoke, and the two junior brothers agreed.

Hu Guiyang sat in the front hall with an empty coffin next to him, looking at the three Taoists coldly, "Forget it, it's not the time to apologize. I just want to ask a few things, just answer the truth."

"I'm afraid to hide it at all."

"In addition to having a grudge against the Zhao family, what reason do you have to think that I am a demon fox?"

The three Taoist priests looked at each other, and Fan Dajian said, "Master Hu may not believe it."

"Don't worry about whether I believe it or not, you can talk about it first."

"In the first month of this year, someone came to Lingji Palace and asked us to calculate the whereabouts of the demon fox."

Yun Dan on the side said, "There is no need to hide it. This person is Mr. Wang. He had not yet served as Mr. Wang at that time."

"In the first month of the year, there is not even the West Factory." Hu Guiyang thought for a moment, and felt something was wrong. "Wait, the demon Li Zilong was caught last year and confessed that the demon fox was his subordinate. Didn't the palace believe this statement?"

Yun Dan replied, "Actually, it is Dongchang who believes it, but the demon fox has not been arrested for a long time. Wang Changgong felt that Li Zilong's confession was not true. At that time, he was still in the Imperial Horse Supervision Office and secretly conducted some investigations, including asking for help from Lingji Palace."

"Well, you continue." Hu Guiyang said to the Taoist priest.

Fan Dajian coughed. He was a famous Taoist priest, with the title of real person, with many believers inside and outside the capital, and was able to compete with the ministers in the court. Now he was standing in front of a vocational household, as humble as a servant, and being interrogated like a prisoner.

"Translation and writing." Fan Dajian had no choice. His task today was to do everything he could to please the hundred households in order to protect the face of Lingji Palace.

"Still-in-one?"

“Yes, that’s…”

"I know what kind of spirit writing is. Several people hold a pen together, draw on the sand table, and write words as the will of the gods."

"Absolutely, the spirit writing in our Lingji Palace has always been effective, not comparable to the people, Dazhenren himself..."

"Say I am a demon fox?"

"We practiced the spirit three times, and each time we got the same immortal order, with only four words - the Zhao family's fox. After thinking about it, it seems that only the adopted son of the Zhao Baihu family is most in line with it."

"What four words?"

Fan Dajian raised his hand and slowly gestured out four words in the air.

"Why did our brothers fall on me forty?"

Fan Dajian glanced at Yun Dan and didn't know what to say. Yun Dan replied: "There is a piece of evil-proof jade in Lingji Palace. It was hot when it met a demon. Wang Jiangong came to the mansion that day to pay homage to Zhao Baihu."

"Oh, so that's the case."

On the day Zhao Ying passed away, Wang Zhi came to pay his respects in person and talked to several adopted sons, including Hu Guiyang.

"When the factory man saw me, the jade on his body must have been hot?"

A eunuch and three Taoist priests nodded at the same time, and Fan Dajian said, "And only gets fever when approaching Lord Hu, so... so we decided that Lord is a demon fox."

"Since that's the case, you should have done it long ago. Why do you still harm my brother and blame me?"

Fan Dajian became hesitant again, Yun Dan said: "That's right. At that time, there were still several adopted sons who were not in the capital. The factory was relatively stable and wanted to wait until they tested them all before starting. Moreover, the factory also wanted to create descendants and grandson soup, and needed descendants to be used as medicine, so he discussed with Hu Guishen and Hu Guimeng..."

There is no need to say much about other things. The eunuchs wanted to create descendants, but they didn't want to attract too much attention, so they blamed the "demon fox" Hu Guiyang.

"I remember you told me that even one of the adopted sons of the Zhao family can't survive."

The target of interrogation changed from a Taoist priest to a eunuch, and Yun Dan did not avoid it and immediately said, "I was fascinated by the ghosts at that time. I always wanted to avenge the Duan Teng Gorge, which made Zhao Ying's rescue move disappear. But now it's different, I no longer have the idea of ​​taking revenge."

"Where is the descendant soup?"

"It was a dream in the end. The factory also felt that this action was useless and had sent all the collected medicinal materials outside the city. Lord Hu could check it at any time and burn it. From then on, no one could make this medicine again."

Hu Guiyang did not believe Yun Dan's words, but did not argue and said to the Taoist priest: "Did you bring evil-proof jade today?"

Fan Dajian shook his head, "There is a problem with the evil-proof jade. In the past few days, he will have fever for no reason from time to time."

"Maybe there are monsters in Lingji Palace." Hu Guiyang smiled and asked immediately: "Where is the elixir of immortality? Do you still need to be made?"

Fan Dajian replied: "It's true that whether the medicine of immortality needs to be refined, whether it can be refined depends on the progress of the demon fox case. If Lord Hu can really prove that the demon fox is just a scam, then the most important medicinal material is gone, and the refining of the medicine has to be postponed or even cancelled. If the demon fox is true and is captured or killed by Lord Hu, the medicine of immortality will be accomplished."

Hu Guiyang laughed, "What is the origin of that man in white?"

The three Taoist priests were deeply ashamed, and Fan Dajian replied with a tough head, "That man is a hero from another province. I came to Lingji Palace to take refuge, and by the way... to do us a favor. Please understand Lord Hu. If we involve some grudges in the world, we really... cannot reveal the name of this person."

Hu Guiyang was not particularly concerned, just know what was going on, "Okay, since you are sincere, I won't ask. The last thing, I suddenly felt dizzy that night, was you secretly taking medicine?"

"Yes, the medicine was put into the meal."

"What medicine?"

"The Pill of Desha is a secret medicine specially made by our Lingji Palace. People are so drowsy that they take, and their magic power is greatly reduced..."

Speaking of his own pills, Fan Dajian showed some pride. Hu Guiyang said, "This is the pill that puzzled my adopted father's son back then, right?"

Fan Dajian was stunned, and his fairy-like smooth face turned red suddenly, "I don't know what happened in my early years..."

"Haha, don't be afraid, I just asked casually. My adoptive father didn't seek revenge on Lingji Palace during his lifetime, and I wouldn't know how to do it."

The three Taoist priests breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Guiyang asked Yundan: "The factory came to pay condolences that day and once convinced someone, who was it?"

"The factory did not mention this matter, wait for me to go back and ask."

Hu Guiyang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, as if he wanted to see the guests off, but he said, "Zhengren Fan, send a few pairs of your Shasha Pills."

"Ah?" The three Taoist priests were stunned.

"Don't be nervous, I just think it feels good after eating. I want to try it again. If you meet someone you don't like in the future, it can also be used to poison it."

The Taoists became even more nervous, and Fan Dajian was incoherent, "This...we... seem..."

It was Yun Dan who saved him, "Lingji Palace is not that stingy. Since Lord Hu wants to do so, he will definitely offer it to you next time."

"Yes." Fan Dajian's tone was not so sure, "You can bring some, next time..."

"I'll have it this afternoon." Hu Guiyang did not give them a chance to be vague.

Yun Dan winked, and Fan Dajian immediately agreed.

When sending the guests to the door, Hu Guiyang kindly patted Fan Dajian on the shoulder, "The coffin in the hall is still empty."

Fan Dajian was stunned and replied immediately: "The lucky person of Zhao Baihu has his own heavenly appearance, and the body will definitely be able to return."

Hu Guiyang laughed a few times, returned to the front hall, and stayed for a while, feeling quite bored. He figured out some facts, but he still didn't know how to capture the "demon fox" and "wait for Yuan Mao's news." He said to himself, still believing that the real clues could be found from the identity of the victim.

Yuan Mao didn't come today. After lunch, Hu Guiyang and the thirteenth brother Hu Guijian went out together and went to see the eldest brother Hu Guishen and the fifth brother Hu Guimeng.

Still didn't ask anything, the two did not hide it, admitted everything, and did not feel particularly guilty about the death of ten "useless" brothers. Hu Guishen would pretend to repent, while Hu Guimeng said bluntly: "They couldn't live long after being coveted by the eunuchs but were not taken care of by his adoptive father."

Saying goodbye from the fifth brother, in the alley, Hu Guiyang asked Hu Guijian: "Is it the adoptive father's fault? He actually taught an adopted son like the fifth brother?"

"This is not someone's fault. Brother Wu and the others have always felt that they should be bigger officials, not just Jinyi's lieutenant. No one needs to teach this. Once they enter the officialdom, they will have a competitive spirit. Brother San and Liu will understand it later when they first enter the door."

"Where is the Thirteenth Brother? You are also the Captain of Jinyi. Do you have any regrets?"

Hu Guijian smiled, "Of course, I have a regret, but I have self-knowledge. There are many smarter people in the officialdom, and more people with deeper foundation than me. If I am more ruthless, I will feel even worse. Even if I have a big backer, why can I gain people's trust and appreciation? It's useless. For me, the opportunity is far from here and I may never come in my life."

"I didn't go to find Brother Thirteen, I found me."

"So you have to cherish it and remember, don't worry about the eunuchs and ministers, you will only have one person to please in the end."

Of course, Hu Guiyang knew that this person was the emperor in the palace, but he knew nothing about the emperor's ideas.

"The truth. I can only use it to please me." Hu Guiyang returned to the backyard of Zhao's house. It was getting late. He looked at the cross-yard where He Sanjie lived. He had a little hope that the disaster would really come, at least it could provide a direct clue.

In the evening, Lingji Palace sent someone to send the Posha Pill. Hu Guiyang decided to take a little, hoping to dream back to the top of the mountain again.
