Yuan Mao never thought he was an ordinary entourage, and even the word "confidant" degrades his identity a bit.

Unlike many servants who changed their surnames after entering the mansion, Yuan Mao did have a surname of Yuan and was a relative of Yuan Bin. Yuan Bin once said in public that this was his nephew, and he could be called "uncle, whether public or private."

Yuan Mao never called him that before, but in his heart, he regarded Yuan Bin as his closest relative, running around and serving without any complaints, but instead felt that this was an honor.

Yuan Bin has a lot of descendants, and no one can be as trusted as Yuan Mao and stay by his side at any time.

Yuan Mao regarded Yuan Bin's enemy as enemies, which is why he rushed up to denounce Hu Guiyang outside the Jinyiwei Yamen.

"Mr. Yuan trusts you so much, treats you as Zhao Ying's successor, and is even willing to introduce you to the current cabinet master." Yuan Mao said as he walked, his tone was very harsh, "But you let down this trust and almost left!"

Hu Guiyang listened with a smile, not taking it seriously or explaining it, at most he said no.

His smile was always so out of place. Yuan Mao became more angry as he looked at it. He stopped, "Don't you want to explain?"

Hu Guiyang also stopped and said in surprise: "It's here? In front of pedestrians all over the streets? I thought we should be careful."

"Where are we going?" Yuan Mao looked around and saw that it was just dark, but there were more and more pedestrians on the street.

“A good place.”

When the lights were on, Hu Guiyang took Yuan Mao back to our Hutong.

Yuan Mao recognized it when he was still far away, "You are not going to take me to that kind of place, are you?"

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "It seems that you are very familiar with this place and should be a regular visitor. By the way, after we arrive at the place, our surname is Yang, and we are called cousins."

"Why come here?"

Hu Guiyang smiled even happier, "It's because everyone can't imagine it. I saw that Erlang Temple is not far away? My own home is my own home. My adoptive father used to arrange for me to contact a few rascals in this area, so I simply moved here. My adoptive father issued a special order. If I take a step into the Spring Courtyard, I will break the leg of the leg. When both legs are in, they will break it together."

"Zhao Ying is a qualified Nansi Baihu." Yuan Mao said coldly.

Hu Guiyang continued: "The adopted son of the Zhao family couldn't guess that I dare to stay here for a while. According to my estimate, it will be safe for at least three days. Keep a little blocking for me, and there are a few people in this area who recognize me."

The two of them came to the Ren family and the madam greeted each other enthusiastically, but gave a "bad news". "It's really a coincidence that a regular customer came and said that he would take a boat south in two days. Today, he wanted to see Miss Liuer. I was just slandering, but I really couldn't hide my face. I really didn't intend to shake the two young masters..."

Hu Guiyang pretended to be angry and finally got a sumptuous banquet for compensation.

In the small building in the garden, He Wu was already anxious, "Why did you come back? This family doesn't know what's going on, they always come to find 'Brother Yang San', and they were all sent away by me."

The food and food were delivered soon. He Wu Crazy gave his sister a serving and came down to eat. After eating, he put the bones on a plate and took them out to feed the dogs. He was not interested in the two of them and their conversations at all.

Yuan Mao didn't eat much, he only cared about one thing when he came here, "You really didn't catch the demon fox and used it to frame Lord Yuan?"

"Let me tell you first, how about the news you collected?"

Yuan Mao had previously received a task to collect detailed information about the victims of the Demon Fox case, "It's almost done."

"And what? What did you see from it?"

Yuan Mao didn't say anything, his eyes were cold.

"If you don't believe me, why should you come with me?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile.

"I'm here to listen to your explanation, not to report the situation to you."

"Okay, I'll do it first. To put it simply, this is the thing. More than ten years ago, there was a traitor leader named Wen Tianwang and a demon man named Gu Zhongxian. They believed that they could use boys and girls to sacrifice to attract real heavenly soldiers and generals. After the attempt in Jingxiang land failed, they fled to Duan Teng Gorge and tried again on the Sacrifice Peak."

"Yeah." Yuan Mao's expression remained unchanged.

"This time, they believed that the God-recruiting was successful, but the one they were recruiting was not the heavenly soldiers and generals, but the 'Son of the Ancestral God'. It was possessed by a certain boy and would appear ten years later."

Yuan Mao still didn't speak, gently playing with the wine glass in front of him, and he didn't seem to realize it.

"But who is this possessed boy? Wen Tian Wang is dead. The immortal in the valley had an idea, thinking that the person who could be killed must not be the target he was looking for, so he kept killing people."

"It's similar to your adopted father Zhao Ying's idea."

Hu Guiyang nodded, "But my adoptive father would never kill anyone at will. He would rather spend his energy to collect evidence bit by bit and arrest him after confirming it."

"Let's go, what does these things have to do with the demon fox?"

"It should be your turn to say it. If I guess correctly, you have found evidence among the victims of the Demon Fox Case."

Yuan Mao's expression calmed down slightly, "I don't know if this is evidence. All the victims in the Demon Fox case have been to Duan Teng Gorge in the past ten years. Some are soldiers and some are merchants. Several of them must have climbed the Sacrifice Peak - the commonly used title is Nine-Store Building, which was once the last stronghold of the rebels. There were countless casualties and injuries when they were captured. Most people went there just to see the scenery and sigh."

"Where is the leader of the Five Elements Sect?"

Yuan Mao was a little surprised, "So you already...yes, the victims included five sect leaders. The sect leaders were their own names. In the eyes of the court, they were craftsmen."

"They have all been to the Sacrifice Peak, too?"

"I have been there, three of them participated in the Battle of Duan Teng Gorge that year, and the other two went there afterwards to help the officers and soldiers build camps."

“That’s right.”

"What's right?"

"The immortal in Gu Zhong claimed that the Son of God possessed more than ten years ago, but waited so long to find it. One is to cultivate strength, and the other is to lack of grasp. This time, he not only wants to find the Son of God, but also wants to destroy the dragon vein and work together to seize the world."

"Seize the world?"

Hu Guiyang did not laugh, "For a group of people who believe in the possession of the Son of God and the Dragon Vein, seizing the world is just a trivial matter."

Yuan Mao lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and said, "Just a group of scammers..."

"Jianghu liar? Can't you still see it? Jianghu liars have successfully convinced many people, but the people who don't believe it are a minority."

Yuan Mao thought for a while, "Did your brothers, Hu Guishen, and Hu Guimeng believe them?"

"I don't know, but the things they have done are indeed beneficial to the immortal in the valley."

"Are they not afraid that they are also the target of the immortal in the valley?"

"Maybe they surrender because of fear."

Yuan Mao stood up, "I will inform Lord Yuan of what you said, and then make a decision."

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "When you go there, maybe I have already been in a different place, or I have been persuaded to act as your enemy from now on."

Yuan Mao sat down slowly, "What are you going to do?"

"I want you to find a way to contact Wang Zhi. I will see him by tomorrow night at the latest."

Yuan Maotengdi stood up again and said sternly: "That's impossible. Although they were demoted, Wang Zhi deserved it. My family was framed. He was the assistant general of the former government and the imperial court appointed minister. How could he collude with the eunuchs?"

Hu Guiyang waited for him to finish speaking and smiled inappropriately, "That's why I want you to go. Lord Yuan cannot collude, you can."

Yuan Mao patted heavily on the table, "Yuan is a good man, he doesn't do such despicable things."

"Well, Lord Yuan has been innocent all his life, probably never did anything miserable, but if, I mean, if Lord Yuan accidentally fell into a sewage ditch, would you jump in and save him? It would be covered in dirty water and he would not be able to wash it off."

"Of course." Yuan Mao understood what Hu Guiyang meant, so he had to sit down again, "Why have to contact Wang Zhi? Since he knew that it was the immortal in the valley who was doing something, he would find him out and bring it to justice, wouldn't it be enough?"

"It's not that simple. The immortal from Guzhong came here prepared this time. Although there are many people in the government, there are places that they cannot control and dare not control."

"You mean... he hid in the palace?"

"Is there any safer place in the world than the palace? I just can't do it, otherwise I'd have to go in and hide."

Yuan Mao shook his head in disbelief, "The demon Li Zilong sneaked into the palace last year, but just wandered around the edge. How much trouble did it cause? It's impossible for someone to sneak in again, right?"

"This is the problem we need to use Wang Zhi to find out. Time is tight, and it is impossible to investigate bit by bit. We must start from the most suspicious place."

Yuan Mao was silent for a long time, "Don't you want me to discuss with Lord Yuan?"

"You can discuss it, but this is equivalent to transferring the burden to Lord Yuan. He must consider his identity, status and reputation. After thinking about it, he has delayed his time."

Yuan Mao was silent for a while, "If there is a mistake in this matter, I will be the great sinner of the Yuan family."

"Yes, if something goes wrong, I am a dead person and you are a sinner." Hu Guiyang didn't comfort him and admitted directly.

"Who am I?" He Wu asked in his arms with a dog when he came back.

"You are an fool."

"Fisherman? Fishing?"

Hu Guiyang ignored him and looked at Yuan Mao.

Yuan Mao still refused to answer directly, but said another thing, "Mr. Yuan has been in charge of the Jinyiwei for many years and is deeply favored by the late emperor. When Zi first ascended the throne today, he was also very loving. More than ten years later, he suddenly transferred Mr. Yuan to the former army governor's office, and was promoted openly and demoted secretly. Do you know why?"

Hu Guiyang shook his head. Although there were many rumors, they were not accurate.

"Because Lord Yuan has lived too long."

"Is this a reason?"

"Maybe it doesn't count against others, but it's a burden to Lord Yuan. Lord Yuan takes charge of the Jinyiwei and directly manages Nansi. He has been looking for the demon immortal for many years. He has gained nothing thanks to your adopted father."

“Catch a lot of liars.”

"For Nansi and Lord Yuan, this is nothing. The problem lies here. The late emperor who was determined to live forever died young, but the person who was looking for the art of immortality for the late emperor lived to his seventies. When the son noticed this today, Lord Yuan would be 'sin'."

"Someone has changed Your Majesty's mind and advised Your Majesty to pay attention to Changsheng." Hu Guiyang understood the meaning of Yuan Mao's words.

"So you should understand, how big is the difficulties we are facing?"

"So you should understand why you must win over Wang Zhi?"

Yuan Mao stood up, "If something happens, I will take responsibility. If you take responsibility, you will never implicate Lord Yuan."

Hu Guiyang also stood up and picked up the wine glass, "Of course."

It was so difficult to convince someone. Hu Guiyang admired the immortal in Gu who had never met before, who could actually win over so many people.
