Chapter 41
As soon as Zhao Xin said this, half of the people hurriedly left. Zhang Xian, the leader, looked at the people leaving, his eyes full of shock and doubt, and he once doubted what life was like.

Xin Zhao chuckled, stepped forward, held Zhang Miao's thin arm, and said caringly: "Old sir, please remember that this world is not as kind as you think. I, Xin Zhao, ask myself, I am not a compassionate person. People. If you dare to bring people to the downtown area today, even those people who escaped, I can arrange an unfounded charge on you. What can you do to me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xian was shocked again. He opened his mouth, but couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

Xin Zhao let go of the arm that hit Zhang Xian, looked around at the people and said: "Everyone, I was ordered by the imperial court to go out to fight against Karasuma's invasion. I have no merit but hard work. After all, the imperial court has not sent me any salary yet. Although I There is intention but powerlessness. If you can trust me, you can leave your names and I will have my own soldiers to count and check. When Fan Yang gets paid, I will definitely return every penny to you with interest, how about that?"

After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd and saw the people whispering and discussing among themselves.

Xin Zhao couldn't help but smile in confusion again, and then said: "Then again, it's useless if you don't agree. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to pay you any compensation! Anyone who dares to disturb the military camp will be killed without mercy! "The last sentence, Zhao Xin said to Wei Lie, Wei Lie and Wei Kun responded loudly, stepped forward and blocked the gate of the military camp, looking like they would kill anyone who dared to get close.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let these common people come in and register." '

Wei Lie and Wei Kun stepped aside with a dull promise.

Then Xin Zhao turned around and got on his horse, and left with Zhu Tong and others.

All the people looked at each other, but no one dared to enter the barracks for a long time.At this time, Zhang Xian walked out again, with a tragic look like a strong man gone forever. Under the gaze of the people, he walked into the military camp with a hunched body.

This scene was noticed by Xin Zhao, who had just left and was unwilling to stop. He turned his head and ordered: "Zi Dan, help me find out how this person is doing later."

Zhu Tong and Zhao Xin grew up together since childhood. When Zhao Xin said this, Zhu Tong already knew what he meant, nodded and left immediately.

In the evening, Zhu Tong came to Zhao Xin's mansion. At this time, Zhao Xin and Tang Yu were sitting opposite each other, playing chess.

"Zidan is here, please sit down quickly, my husband, let's talk first." Tang Yu got up and left after speaking, Xin Zhao smiled and nodded, Zhu Tong also nodded in courtesy.

"Zi Dan, do you have any clues about what happened?" Xin Zhao asked after taking a sip of tea.

"My Lord, Zhang Mian, his great-grandfather Zhang De, courtesy name Peiyuan, was a minister. He was dismissed from office because of his direct remonstrance. After returning home, he took his family and settled in Fanyang, teaching children from poor families free of charge every day to learn Chinese calligraphy and sentence segmentation. . When Zhang Xian was young, he was praised for his filial piety and honesty, but later he was innocently exonerated and has been wasted to this day. Despite this, Zhang Xian was very talented and famous in the countryside. Following the style of his great-grandfather, he taught village children for free and was willing to do charity. Although he was young, He is old and frail, but he is very popular. The people praise him for his talents, virtues and conduct."

After listening to this with a smile, Zhao Xin nodded and said: "I believe the rosters in the military camp have been compiled. Come on, Zidan, let's go and take a look together."

Zhu Tong naturally accepted the offer.

Under the night, Zhao Xin and Zhu Tong, under the escort of four warriors, went to the barracks.

Arriving at the military camp, it was Wei Lie who was on duty that night.

Wei Lie was a fool with a big brain. When Zhao Xin asked him to bring the roster, he was so stupid that he went to bring the roster of the soldiers in the camp. He took Xin Zhao's chestnut and didn't react.

It was his cousin Wei Kun who was smart and went to get the list of family members of Zhang Xuan and other soldiers who died in the battle.Zhao Xin took it and the first name that caught his eye was Zhang Miao. The name on the roster read: Zhang Kui, the eldest son, Zhang Mo, the second son, and Zhang Lian, the third son.

Xin Zhao looked up at Wei Kun and asked, "What does this mean?"

Wei Kun sighed, and said: "My lord, the information written by Zhang Wei has been verified by the last general, and all three of his sons joined the army before the battle of Yuyang."His eldest son, Zhang Kui, died when he stepped on his horse in the battle with Zhang Chun, and his bones turned into mud.His son, Zhang Mo, and his third son, Zhang Lian, all died in battle in the Ancient Cangyuan. '

After hearing this, Xin Zhao suddenly wanted to slap himself twice!
"Full of heroes, full of heroes, he is really a loyal citizen of the great man! Such a talented and virtuous person is reduced to the countryside, what a waste of money! Zidan, follow me to visit this person."

"promise."

Who wouldn’t want to make friends with talented and virtuous people?Zhu childhood loved martial arts and hunting, but he often neglected scholarly things.Now that I have grown up, I am more and more eager to learn Chinese characters and sentences, and I am full of knowledge.

It's just that Zhao Xin's subordinates are really said to be pure literati, and there is no such thing!
Tang Miao was a shrewd man and came from a wealthy family. Literacy and sentence proficiency were not a problem, but because his father Tang Jian had been in business in his early years, the Tang family could almost be said to be a business family. Their vision, experience, and knowledge were mostly in line with the business world.

Yan Rou's ancestral home is Beiyou. She often interacted with Lakers when she was young, and she always had a murderous aura about her.

Now that he met Zhang Wei, Zhu Tong also met a pure literati, a person with literati integrity, not someone who is just a fake.

He and Zhu Tong came to the outside of Zhangjia Village. Under the moonlight, in the village huts in front of them, most of them had a bamboo pole erected at the foot of the wall, with a short thin white silk tied at the top.The cries of women and children floated through the white silk from the dark curtain, as if they were the soldiers who died in the battle asking for compensation from Zhao Xin.

Xin Zhao couldn't help being stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to recover. He looked at the ghost floating in front of him and said, "Don't worry, I, Xin Zhao, will definitely send the pension to your home."

After saying that, Xin Zhao felt much more relaxed and walked into the village.Find an old man and ask where Zhang Xian lives.

He and Zhu Tong walked knee-deep in weeds for two sticks of incense before stopping.

In front of me, there are three simple thatched houses, with walls made of branches and many cracks. A hunched figure of an old man can be seen vaguely, sitting by the door, looking at the dilapidated wellhead in the corner of the courtyard with empty eyes.

"Mr. Zhang." Xin Zhao stepped in, holding back the trembling in his heart, and called softly.

Hearing the voice, Zhang Xian's turbid eyes came back to reality, looked at Xin Zhao, then stood up with a wooden stick, saluted to Xin Zhao, and said: "I don't know what the instructions are for Mr. Chang Shi's visit."

At this time, a young man about the same age as Zhao Xin ran out of the hut on the east side. Although his face was pale and his figure was weak, his eyes were like stars, a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, towering into his temples, and he was wearing a washcloth. The white Confucian robe is full of scholarly scent.

This person glanced at Zhao Xin and Zhu Tong, then trotted to Zhang Mian's side, held Zhang Mian's arm, and said to Zhao Xin: "Could it be that Mr. Chang Shi came here to repay the pension of my three brothers?"
