Although Zhang Xiu often went out hunting, he never came back for so long. In front of Zhang's house, the lantern was lit, and the Zou family was plain, stretching his neck and looking around, and his beautiful face showed a look of worry.
Left and right are full of maidservants and old soldiers.
When the sound of horses' hooves gradually rose, Zou was relieved, and his face returned to its usual elegance. Sure enough, Zhang Xiu took the lead, Hu Che'er entourage, and more than ten sons rushed towards the mansion.
"I came back late, which made my aunt worried. Zhang Xiu looked at Zou who was waiting under the door, and couldn't help but turn over and dismount, clasped his fists and saluted apologetically.
"It's good to be back, dinner is ready. Come with me to dinner. Zou said lightly, then turned around and walked away.
"No. Zhang Xiu answered, turned to Hu Che'er and gave a look, handed the horse to an old pawn who came up, and walked in with the Zou family.
Hu Che'er understood, and immediately worked with the old soldiers to deal with the prey that came from the hunt. It's still hot, and tomorrow the prey won't be able to eat.
Tonight, we will have a full meal, and if you can't finish it, you need to marinate it.
Zou has the bearing of an eldest woman, although his face is flat and seems to be tepid. Zhang Xiu is a junior, but he doesn't dare to make a mistake.
After dinner, Zhang Xiu said goodbye to Zou, and after receiving a response, he went back to the room where he was.
Let Hu Che'er fetch well water, take a cold bath, and then take off his clothes and go to sleep.
As the saying goes, strike while it's hot. But Pound's business needs to boil the frog in warm water. Friendship takes time.
Like alcohol, the longer it is, the sweeter it is.
However, selling tiger skins and recruiting teenagers is a top priority.
Early the next morning. After Zhang Xiu and Zou had breakfast in a dull way, they took the tiger skin, left Zhang's house, and went to the market.
Right Fufeng, left Feng Ling, Jing Zhaoyin, and called Sanfu, the place includes the entire Guanzhong place. It is the land of Gyeonggi in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is the most important.
Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, these Sanfu areas were originally prosperous and lively. Together with Hongnong County, Henan County, Hanoi County, and Hedong County, it is called Sili, and it is the Gyeonggi of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, the Yellow Turban War, coupled with the Qiang people in the west, raised troops from Liangzhou from time to time, including Han Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.
Under the chaos of the army, the city was ruined, and the people were sharply reduced.
The market in Huaili City is no longer as lively as it used to be. But the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and when Zhang Xiu came to the market with Hu Che'er and others, it was also full of people coming and going, lively and noisy.
There are officials in the bazaar, and Zhang Xiu ordered Hu Che'er to pay the money before he got the qualification to set up a stall. He didn't have any other goods, so he took out the tiger skin and put it on the table, while he sat on a black cloth while Jiang Taigong fished, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The tiger is the king of beasts, and it takes courage to hunt a tiger. It has been a long time since a tiger skin has appeared in the bazaar of Huaili City, let alone such a complete tiger skin.
It immediately attracted the eyes of many people in the bazaar, including some Hu merchants from the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty was the most prosperous and powerful country in the whole world.
Hu merchants traveled to and from the Han Dynasty and sold silk, all relying on the Han Dynasty.
"What a tiger skin. In my guess, this tiger skin must have been killed by an arrow in the eye socket, otherwise it would never have been so complete. "
There was a man in his forties, very knowledgeable, who bent down to check, and couldn't put it down, but he also showed regret.
He couldn't afford this tiger skin.
"Why wasn't it a shot in the abdomen?" someone asked curiously.
"If a tiger is shot in the abdomen, it will definitely be in unbearable pain and move wildly. The arrow was stuck in his abdomen, which would have made the wound bigger, and it would not be so complete here. "
The man in his forties has touched the white parts on both sides of the tiger skin, and the incision is very complete, this is the place where the knife is fired, not the place where the arrow is shot.
"That's a magic arrow.
"Not to mention the Divine Arrow. You must know that the tiger is the king of beasts, and with a roar, the beasts will be changed. Someone can hold a bow and shoot arrows in front of a tiger, not to mention an arrow that hits the eye socket, can be called a hero. "
I've heard something. I heard that yesterday outside the city, a group of people encountered a big tiger weighing three or four hundred pounds. was shot by the nephew of General Zhang Jizhang, and it was an arrow that hit the eye socket. Probably this Lang Jun. "
Yesterday's rumors also spread.
As the discussion arrived here, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Xiu's body, and there were those who were amazed, shocked, and admired.
Facing the eyes of the people around him, Zhang Xiu was as steady as an old pine, and his expression did not move.
The husband must not be nameless, since he has a reputation, he must not be as immovable as a mountain to become a man. Don't like it, don't be surprised, it's the true character of a hero.
Onlookers are human nature, and as the news spreads more and more. Many people in the bazaar came to watch Zhang Lang who shot the tiger, and the audience was like a stack for a while.
Zhang Xiu couldn't help frowning, it didn't matter to him to be watched, but it was not good if it affected his business.
Just then, a loud voice rang out.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Let me see the tiger skin. As the loud voice sounded, the crowd split their way as if the river had met a big boat.
A middle-aged man wearing a high crown and a black robe with two retinues walked over, this person squinted his eyes and thin lips, and did not look like a good person.
"It's Yan Gongcao.
After the surrounding crowd saw this person, someone gasped, and then the crowd immediately decreased by half, and the scene became empty.
Zhang Xiu frowned, Yan Gongcao had also heard of it.
Yan is the surname, and Gongcao is an official position that records the merits and demerits of officials in the county, and holds real power.
Yan Gongcao's real name is Yan Song, and he is a well-known arrogant figure in Huaili City, and even his family's house slaves can do things that don't cost money.
If it were in the prosperous era, of course, such a person would not be able to do such a powerful official position as Gong Cao. But now that the world is chaotic, and the ten permanent servants are in power, Yan Song and other treacherous villains are naturally like fish in water.
"Zhang Jialang is good at archery, this tiger skin is really complete. How to sell it?" Yan Song bent down in front of Zhang Xiu, stroked the tiger skin lovingly, showed a greedy look on his face, and raised his head to ask.
"Hundred gold. The door was a guest, but Zhang Xiu did not speak ill of each other, and simply spit out.
Yan Song frowned, this tiger skin is of course a good skin, and it is not expensive to be worth 100 gold. But he didn't want to pay for it, but he wanted it.
As everyone knows, he had something to do with the Ten Standing Attendants, and only then did he get the official position of Gongcao in the county. If you can send this good tiger skin up, maybe you can mix it up with a county guard.
Yan Song raised his head, looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile, and said, "Zhang Jialang, you may not recognize me, I am Yan Song, the county meritorious." I used to drink with your uncle. "
So what?" Zhang Xiu said lightly.
Yan Song was angry, I said it so clearly, what kind of garlic is this kid pretending?"
"I'll make it clear to you, I'm going to make this tiger skin a deal, but I'll only give ten gold." Yan Song sneered, beckoned back with his right hand, and an attendant took a money bag to Yan Song, Yan Song threw down the money bag, and wanted to take the tiger skin.
Hu Che'er and the other teenagers all showed angry faces, this money bag is so small, it is estimated that it is just like Yan Song said ten gold, ten gold actually wanted to buy a hundred gold tiger skin, and he made it at a loss.
But after all, the other party is the county Gongcao, and he is also the number one in the county. For a while, they didn't dare to move, just looked at Zhang Xiu.
"Click. Zhang Xiu didn't care so much, grabbed his right hand, and pinched Yan Song's wrist like an iron claw, and with a click, there was a sound of bone cracking.
Yan Song's painful face twitched suddenly, and cold sweat broke out.
"What are you doing. Let go of me. Even so, he did not let go of the tiger skin on the ground. Seeing Yan Song like this, the two entourages behind him immediately came up, but were stopped by Hu Che'er and others.
Now that Xiao Langjun has made a move, they can't control it so much.
"For a hundred gold, the tiger skin is yours. Otherwise, let go of the tiger skin. Zhang Xiu's tiger eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly.
"You. I am the Gongcao of this county, and your uncle was polite when he saw me, and you dared to treat me like this.
Yan Song not only did not let go, but raised his head and said sharply, his slanted eyes full of resentment.
"So what? My uncle is my uncle, I am me. Zhang Xiu sneered, unmoved, his right hand increased his strength, poor Yan Song pampered and pampered, how could he stand this kind of torture, he trembled in pain, but he didn't let go yet.
"This man is also wonderful. Zhang Xiu was a little surprised.
"I want this tiger skin today, what are you going to do?" Yan Song saw that he couldn't suppress Zhang Xiu when he took out Zhang Ji, and he had no good way, but it was impossible for him to let go. I couldn't help but raise my head, looking like hob meat.
With a "sonorous" sound, Zhang Xiuyi was not afraid to pull out the big sword at his waist, and the blade of the sword was placed on Yan Song's neck, and even cut into it a little, and some blood came out.
"When you encounter a robber, you naturally want to kill it. Zhang Xiusen said.
This time, Yan Song was really scared. Since he became the Gongcao of the county, he has never encountered such a ruthless character as Zhang Xiu. But he still had luck in his heart, and he raised his head and said inwardly: "You dare to kill me??? kill the officials of the imperial court?
After
that, Zhang Xiu's hands really trembled. Yan Song's neck was cut a little, and a lot of blood flowed out.
Yan Song didn't expect things to develop to this point, and the warm blood flowing from his neck made him feel cold both physically and mentally.
He shivered and let go of the tiger skin, and the crotch of his pants became wet, and the smell of urine rose to the sky in a few moments.
"Hahahaha. Cowardice. Get out of here. Zhang Xiu laughed out loud, kicked Yan Song's chest, and turned the kicker on his back and laughed.
Yan Song couldn't take it by force, but peed his pants in fright, and he felt disgraced. Without even saying a cruel word, he hid his face and left, and his two attendants hurriedly chased after him.
