Hu Guiyang was finally able to enter the Wu and Ji rooms publicly and check out the secret documents and objects at will. His adoptive father fought for the power that he had only obtained for many years, and he only obtained it in more than ten days.

But everyone thought it was too late.

"Liang Zhenfu has been in office for nearly half a month, and he has taken away all the most important and secret things." Yuan Mao carefully lit the candles. The windows of Wu's house rarely opened. The room is always dark. If you want to see the words clearly, you must light the lights, but you must be extremely careful and be taken by a dedicated person to avoid igniting the paper that has been stored for countless years.

"Well." Hu Guiyang did not deny this, but had another opinion, "Liang Xiu took away what he thought was the most important and secret, and what I was concerned about, different from him."

"What are you paying attention to? This is all the documents accumulated over the years, and there are some monster books of unknown origin. Even if you just read them at a rough pace, it will take at least ten years." Fan Dajian also followed him, not knowing where to start.

Only Lai Wangxi did not come. He received three bird guns from the West Factory, but he could not bring them out. If he wanted to use them, he had to get Wang Zhi's consent, so he simply stayed in the West Factory to guard these powerful weapons.

"First of all, I found materials about He Baiwan. He used to use the name Liang Tiegong."

"How to find it?" Fan Dajian muttered, but still followed the order and began to flip through the pile of old papers. He had to turn it carefully. Some of the papers were too old and too crisp to withstand thick hands and feet.

"There are also records about a wooden box. I don't know what Nansi calls it, such as receiver, Tianji, and hidden weapon boxes," Hu Guiyang added.

"Looking for a needle in a haystack." Fan Dajian didn't have much confidence.

Hu Guiyang and Fan Dajian sat opposite him, Yuan Mao sat in the middle to guard the candle, turned his head to avoid blowing the wax core, and said, "I used this trick to trap your adoptive father for a long time."

Hu Guiyang raised his head and couldn't help but feel emotion, "Yes, my adoptive father had also studied hard in this room, and finally found the clues of Liang Tiegong, and chased him all the way to Duan Tengxia in Guangxi to save us. I have heard this story."

"This is not a story, it is a real thing." Yuan Mao said seriously, "Of course, I heard from others, but there is definitely no mistake."

Fan Dajian sneered and raised his head, "What's the result? There were only two of the 40th adopted sons left at the beginning, and you, Hu Guiyang, have to reread these boring documents again. Zhao Ying's previous efforts were in vain."

Hu Guiyang was poisonous, so he never cared about the ridicule of others on him. He thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "What you said really makes sense. There is spring outside and flowers are blooming and green is growing, but we are wasting time in this ghost place."

"That's not what I mean."

"This is what I extended to you." Hu Guiyang picked up a stack of documents on the table and sent them back to their original place. He turned around and said, "It's better to read people than reading books."

"Look at people? Who do you think?" Fan Dajian didn't like reading these things, so he stood up immediately.

"The first one is the supervisor of the House E."

There are two supervisors in the Wu Room, one is a hundred households who are in charge of the keys, and the other is a clerk who is dedicated to keeping documents. He is the person Hu Guiyang wants to meet.

"My duty is to ensure that these papers will not be destroyed, but they never read the contents on them, nor do they read a word." The clerk's status is higher than that of an ordinary lieutenant, so he answered impatiently.

The first person Hu Guiyang "looked" was nothing. He wanted to meet the supervisors of other rooms, but then he gave up. "Forget it, Nansi is a terrible place. Everyone knows something, but everyone only talks about things they don't know."

Yuan Mao sneered, "What's so strange about this? Go to the Jinyiwei to see everywhere. Everyone is like this. You are a little captain who wants others to be open and honest with you and even reveal your secrets. How can you?"

Hu Guiyang scratched his forehead, "It seems that I thought too well before, and thought that with Wang Zhi's support, it would be easier to do things."

Yuan Mao kept shook his head, "You know too little about the officialdom, and you are not as good as your adoptive father."

"I don't blame me for this, I'm just a lieutenant, I'm not an official at all, I haven't even entered the officialdom yet." Hu Guiyang still didn't care and had already started to think of other ideas.

Yuan Mao felt that this was a big problem. He temporarily placed his future on Hu Guiyang, but he did not want this person to be a lieutenant forever. "It is better to be in charge of the county magistrate. If you want to inquire about the secrets from Nansi, you must first gain some real power. Taking charge of Guifang is the first step. Next, you have to replenish your manpower, strive to make contributions as soon as possible, and then replenish your manpower..."

"I have an idea." Hu Guiyang smiled proudly.

Neither Yuan Mao nor Fan Dajian laughed. They knew too much about how dangerous Hu's idea was.

To their surprise, Hu Guiyang did not expect to make a big fuss this time.

After leaving the Jinyiwei Yamen, Hu Guiyang said on the street: "The people who work are not interested in talking. Let's go find those officials. Yuan Mao, you have been in Jinyiwei for a long time. Do you know where Zhu Heng's family lives?"

Yuan Mao was stunned, "The official of the Yuren also dared not speak nonsense."

Fan Dajian agreed with Hu Guiyang, "The normal officials who are in charge of the imperial office dare not, and what about the officials who are forced to hand over the seal? Zhu Heng was driven away and must be depressed and unsuccessful. Maybe he can really tell something. He has been in charge of the Southern Division for many years and should always know some secrets."

"Okay." Yuan Mao reluctantly agreed, "I know where he lives, but don't have too much hope. Zhu Heng is an extremely stubborn person. He has been fighting with your adopted father for many years and will not easily reveal secrets to you."

The former governor of Nansi lived in the Biaobei Hutong in Dongcheng, not far from Yu Shaobao Temple, and you can see it when you go out.

"It seems that Zhu Zhenfu and Yu Shaobao were neighbors, so they might know each other." Hu Guiyang guessed that this place was very close to Guanyin Temple Hutong where Zhao's house was, and he didn't want to go there at all.

"Yu Shaobao was an important official of the court back then, and Zhu Heng couldn't favor him. Even if he was a neighbor, he had to give in on the street and didn't even have the qualifications to say hello." Yuan Mao pointed to a small courtyard, "It should be here. I haven't been here, I just heard that he lives here."

Hu Guiyang did not knock on the door immediately, but walked to the Yu Shaobao Temple to look for a while. This place was originally the former home of the loyal minister Yu Qian. Emperor Yingzong was restored and Yu Qian was killed unjustly. After the emperor ascended the throne, he passed the order to build the temple, which was very popular among his subjects.

Today is not a festival, no one comes to worship, and Hu Guiyang just stood outside the gate to watch, "The adoptive father rarely mentions Yu Shaobao."

Fan Dajian snorted, "Zhu Heng is still a polite caretaker. Your adoptive father is just a household in Jinyi. He is different from Yu Qian. What is there to mention?"

Hu Guiyang sighed lightly, showing a bit of seriousness, "I said my adoptive father had no choice but to save people at the time, so there is no need to talk about it now. I remember that Yu Shaobao's great kindness is that the entire capital owes him."

Yuan Mao also looked at Yu Shaobao Temple, with a serious expression.

Fan Dajian frowned, "I think you're quite nagging now. What are we doing here?"

Hu Guiyang walked towards the Zhu family with a big smile, and pedestrians on the road looked sideways.

After knocking twice, a long time later, an old servant bent over and hunched out in the house came out to open the door, "Who? What's the matter?"

"Captain Nansi, come to pay homage to the former governor Zhu." Hu Guiyang had no famous posts on him. He was thinking about how to introduce himself, but the old servant shook his head and said, "Transfer it."

“Where did you move?”

"Hometown in Hangzhou."

“When did you leave?”

"This morning, the whole family moved out, and I was the only one who was left to watch the house. I don't know what to do when I die..." The old servant closed the door and thought about it himself.

Fan Dajian said, "Okay, there is another road broken. There should be still a hundred households under the command of the Southern Session. Let's go and find it again."

"No one knows much as Zhu Zhenfu." Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "departed in the morning, his home is in Hangzhou. He should be waiting for the boat in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou at this time, and he may not have left yet."

"Do you want to chase after me?" Fan Dajian said in surprise.

"Of course, it's not far away. We hire a mule cart. We will definitely arrive before dark. Go to various inns and find people."

"I mean - is it worth it? You just thought that this person might be useful, so you have to find him?"

"When you go back to Wufang to read at night with candles, go to Zhangjiawan to chase people under the moon, which one do you choose?"

Fan Dajian stared at his eyes and thought for a while, "You can pay for the car, my salary is pitifully small."

Hu Guiyang did not mention Fan Dajian's manor outside the city and took the lead in setting off. Yuan Mao didn't say much, but just followed him and hired a car at the intersection and got on the car. He said, "Person Hu, do you... have a plan?"

"Yes, go to Zhangjiawan to find Zhu Heng first..."

"No, I mean long-term plan."

The mule cart was shaking, and the driver kept shouting. Hu Guiyang held the carriage with one hand, "Get a million first, then solve the mystery of the jade pendant, and destroy the Wen family by the way, and make contributions one by one."

Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian looked at each other and felt that the Captain Hu was unpredictable. The first time they heard the "jade pendant", neither of them asked, and they knew that it might be a big trouble, and they only cared about whether they could make contributions as soon as possible and strive for a foothold.

Hu Guiyang was right. Before dark, they rushed to Zhangjiawan.

Outside the wharf, there are all official shops on the street. Zhu Heng is an official in charge of the imperial office and will not choose a single one at will. Hu Guiyang once came here and went directly to several stores closest to the wharf to ask. He found out the news at the fifth one.

In the backyard of the inn, the Zhu family’s luggage cart is very conspicuous, with a flag on it, and the words “Brother-in-law and comfort Zhu” are written on it.

"Sure enough, I haven't gotten on the boat yet." Hu Guiyang smiled and knocked on the door again.

Fan Dajian followed behind, shook his head at Yuan Mao, and said that he did not believe that Hu Guiyang would gain something on this trip.

The knock on the door was almost immediately responded, and the person who opened the door was not a slave, but Zhu Heng himself.

Hu Guiyang had never seen Zhu Heng, but he could recognize him while seeing it.

Zhu Heng was stunned, and then saw Yuan Mao behind Hu Guiyang, "You?"

"I have left Yuan's Mansion." Yuan Mao explained, pointing at Hu Guiyang, "This is the new Captain Hu who has arrived in the Nansi. He is now in charge of Guifang and comes to visit Zhu Zhenfu."

"Is there anyone in charge of Guifang? Or is it a famous lieutenant?" Zhu Heng shook his head gently, "Sorry, I have already served as the official, and all those who should be handed over have been handed over, and no old subordinates have been seen."

"I'm not an old subordinate, I'm a new person."

"Then I can't see you, I'll walk slowly and don't see you." Zhu Heng was about to close the door.

"The person you are waiting for won't come tonight."

Zhu Heng's face changed slightly when he heard this. Hu Guiyang took the opportunity to enter the room with a smile, turned around and said, "I only ask one thing, does Lord Zhu know this?"

Zhu Heng turned around and saw the small wooden box held in the captain's hand. His face suddenly changed. He had no time to hide it. He said after a while: "Put it back, put it back immediately, otherwise you will get into big trouble."
