Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 80 Departing from the Border Town
In the "High School" inn, Zhang Tie looked at the person who turned around with surprise. The person who turned around first looked at Zhang Tie in surprise, and then hurriedly stepped forward happily.

"Engong! I just said why the name is so familiar. At first I thought it was someone with the same name and surname, but I didn't expect it was really you, Engong."

This person is none other than the scholar Qiao Shan who Zhang Tie rescued from the bandits.

Luo Long laughed loudly, and patted Qiao Shan on the shoulder, "Cousin, I just told you, the person who saved you is definitely the Zhang Tie I know, the bodyguard, the sharpshooter, and his name is Zhang Tie, isn't it?" Who else can Brother Zhang be?"

"You are actually cousins, you are really destined."

Zhang Tie sighed and shook his head, completely unexpected that the person he saved was Luo Long's cousin.

Everyone ordered food at the "High School" inn, and it happened that Luo Long and the others didn't eat, so they sat together.

Zhang Tie poured a glass of wine for everyone present. Of course, Zhang Xiaohua didn't have any.

"Brother Luo, why did you come here?"

Everyone had a drink first, and then Luo Long said: "Hey, it's not because of my cousin who has nothing to do all day long and almost lost his life not long ago. I'm here to find him an errand."

Zhang Tie nodded clearly, and didn't ask any further questions. After all, this was a matter of Luo Long's own family.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie didn't want to ask more questions, but the matter fell on his head.

Luo Long looked at Zhang Tie with some embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth, "Brother Zhang, why don't you let my cousin be your younger brother's entourage? Not bad, brother Zhang, can you see it?"

Regarding Zhang Tie's family, Luo Long noticed from the beginning that Zhang Tie seemed to be in a dominant position in the family, so he asked Zhang Tie first instead of Zhang Shun first.

Zhang Tie was taken aback when he heard that, looked at Qiao Shan, and thought for a while, "Shunzi just went to Biancheng County to take office, it's good to have a helper around him, and there is a relationship between Luo Long and me, so there should be no problem .”

Looking at the sword hanging on Qiao Shan's waist again, he nodded secretly, "Last time, I was able to survive the siege of more than 20 people without being injured, and my martial arts should not be low."

Nodding slightly to Zhang Shun, Zhang Tie said to Luo Long: "Brother Luo, you are welcome. Brother Qiao Shan is also a good-looking talent, which is naturally excellent. It is also his blessing that Shunzi has such a follower."

In this way, there was one more person in Zhang Tie's party. After dinner, Zhang Tie and others continued on the road. If they can take office one day earlier, they can understand and manage the place they govern one day earlier.

In the afternoon ten days later, Zhang Tie and others entered the land in Biancheng County. There were few trees on both sides of the official road, and the crops were pitifully few, and the weather became hot.

Looking at the barren land in front of them, Zhang Tie and the others frowned.

While observing the scattered crops, Liu Yi said to Zhang Tie and the others, "I didn't expect this place to be so barren."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhang Tie led the horse and walked in front. He turned to Liu Yi and the others and said, "Let's go. Since there are crops here, it means there should be a village nearby. Let's go and observe first."

As for where the village was, Zhang Tie's family knew where it was. After pretending to search for a while, Zhang Tie and others 'discovered' a village.

The village is surrounded by mountains, and there are only a dozen or so families. The houses are all dilapidated, and there are still some beans and grass on the curtains at the door.

Four or five children were playing with stones under the eaves of one roof. When they heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance, they all looked at Zhang Tie and the others with curiosity.

At the gate of the village, Zhang Tie and others dismounted from their horses. After leaving two people to guard the horses and vehicles, a group of people entered the small village. As for the two people, they were naturally the new guards who followed Liu Yi.

Everyone came to a few children, who all stopped playing with stones and hid behind an older child, looking at Zhang Tie and others with curiosity and fear.

Zhang Shun squatted down, glanced at the children hiding behind the older boy with a smile on his face, and then sized up the biggest boy in front of him.

The boy was eleven or twelve years old, and he was only a few years younger than Zhang Shun. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Shun came forward to question him.

The little boy's big eyes looked at the people in front of him vigilantly, his back was straight, and his hands were slightly opened, protecting the partners behind him like a hen guarding its chicks.

Looking at the boy in front of him unexpectedly, Zhang Shun nodded appreciatively, and asked softly, "Little brother, don't be afraid, I'm the magistrate of Biancheng County who is about to take office. I came here to visit today. I don't know where your parents are?"

Hearing that it was the magistrate of Biancheng County, the children behind were all pale and looked at Zhang Shun in horror, as if Zhang Shun was a jackal.

"You're not here to collect taxes, are you? You're a good county magistrate, aren't you?" The little boy asked two questions in succession with his lips trembling, his eyes gleaming with hope, his little hands clenched into fists, tightly , obviously terrified.

Listening to the little boy's words, everyone felt a little complicated. They had thought that people in Biancheng County had been exploited before, but they didn't expect that a group of children knew that the magistrate of Biancheng County used to exploit civilians.

Zhang Shun nodded affirmatively, with a sincere look on his face. "Yes, I am a good person, I am not here to collect taxes, and there will be no more tax increases in the future."

"Oh, no more taxes!"

A group of children cheered innocently. The children of Zhang Tie and others were jumping and jumping at this moment, with innocent smiles on their bright red faces.

At this moment, the old door of the hut in front of everyone was slowly opened, and an old man with white hair walked out from inside with a cane.

The old man was dressed in a long gown, with a waist card hanging on his waist, which read the word scholar, but the country was not the current Yan State, but the former dynasty.

When the children saw the person coming out, they all jumped up and down in front of the old man, crackling and talking about what happened just now.

Zhang Tie and the others did not speak, but quietly listened to the children's narrations, and found that the children's narrations were well-organized, and they must have attended school and read books.

After the children finished speaking, the old man leaned on a cane and walked up to Zhang Tie and the others, "Young old man, see the county magistrate."

As the old man was talking, he was about to bend down to salute, but Zhang Tie at the side hurriedly supported him and prevented him from saluting, "Old man, you can't do it, you don't need to salute,"

Seeing this, the old man did not refuse, looked at Zhang Shun and the others leaning on crutches, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what your lord is talking about here?"

Zhang Shun answered without thinking, and asked another question at the same time. "I just came to watch and see how the situation here is. Can the old man tell me about the situation here?"

Hearing Zhang Shun's question, the old man fell into deep thought for a moment.

　Please collect it!Thanks to I am a big boss, Xu Guozhi’s literary and military skills for the reward.
