The Qi family controls the northwest horse He salt and iron business, in the previous dynasty was already a rich rival country, to the present dynasty is a marriage with the royal family, but this Qi family is very different from other families, men are not out of office, but the women in the clan like to marry high-ranking officials in the court, but the men of the Qi family are indeed very fond of business, the Qi family's business is all over the Great Zhou, and even more, there are many transactions with overseas Hushang, it is really the richest family in the Great Zhou.

On the outskirts of the capital, I thought that the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner was in a mess, and his face was full of dust and frost, and this was the foreigner who went to Linxian to visit Zhang Weiwen before, named Andre's Franco. To say that this foreigner is really very unlucky, he actually encountered a civil unrest, Andrei thought that this seemingly harmonious country on the outside would never have a rebellion, but he did not expect that he suddenly encountered, in his country, a large battle with a thousand people is already rare, he actually found hundreds of thousands of people in this place to participate in the war.

God forbid, he has just escaped from hell, he has never seen anything more terrible than war, war harvests people's lives like the devil, and the old servant who has always accompanied him also died in the war.

God forbid, at this time he was thirsty and hungry, covered with wounds, there was no place to stay, in this cold suburb of Beijing, at a loss, at this time he suddenly remembered that the official he had befriended before seemed to have returned to the capital, so he walked towards the city gate, the guards at the city gate saw a foreigner covered in wolves, and immediately became a little suspicious, and wondered if this person was a spy sent by the Liao State, so he did not let Andre enter the city, Andre naturally could not complete this task. At this time, it was freezing cold, and Andre was trekking all the way, naturally he didn't have the experience to argue with this gracious little guard, but there was no way to do it, the country was experiencing an unprecedented crisis, and there must be no trust in a Gentile like him, and at this moment, Andre didn't know what to do? God forbid. Is he really going to die in this place? ”

"Let him in, I know him, he is a very famous foreigner who sold clocks and watches in the capital some time ago." The little guard naturally didn't know what foreigner he was a while ago, but he just knew that the person in front of him was the famous first son in the capital. This person's face is naturally to be given, I saw that this person is handsome and extraordinary, it is Wang Qinghe, this Wang Qinghe just returned from the suburbs of Beijing today, and he saw this foreigner at the city gate. So he helped, and his mother bought a clock from this person, which was very convenient to use.

"Thank you gentleman for your help, Andrei is grateful." Andre's slightly lame words made Wang Qinghe smile when he heard this, and he asked, "How did Mr. Andre fall into such a situation?" Andrei said with a depressed face: "I was thinking of going to Linxian to find an official and talk to him about my business plan, but it didn't come to fruition, and the plan was not implemented yet, and I encountered war." ”

"I wonder which official?" Wang Qinghe was a little curious. Andre said: "His name is Zhang Weiwen, and he is a very enlightened adult. ”

"I see, he has been removed from his post at this time and is recuperating at home."

"My God, I swear to God, among the officials I have met in the Great Zhou, he is the only one with the most vision, but why is this so, he was not responsible for the terrible war, and he is not to blame for it. Your Emperor is really unreasonable. Wang Qinghe laughed when he heard the words and said: "Don't talk nonsense about these words, if someone with a heart hears it, this will kill your head." When Andre heard the word "kill his head", he immediately felt a chill in his neck.

"This is Da Zhou. Imperial power is supreme, at this time you can go to Lord Zhang, he is idle at home, you can go to him to take refuge. ”

"More of this gentleman, I see, God forbid. I'm glad I met you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Andre looked at Wang Qinghe very sincerely, Wang Qinghe waved his hand and left, Andre couldn't help but sigh, Da Zhou really has a lot of good people, at this time to the meal, Andre couldn't help but hurry up and think about whether he could have a meal at Zhang's house, at this time Andre went to Zhang Weiwen's residence under the guidance of passers-by, he saw a white cloth hanging on the residence, and couldn't help but think of something he had seen before, after a family died, the home was also full of white cloth strips, could it be that someone died in Zhang's family?

Andre explained his intention to the spiritless porter, and after a while, he saw Zhang Weiwen, in Andre's eyes, Zhang Weiwen has always been the kind of middle-aged man with high spirits, but at this time, Zhang Weiwen's face was full of gloom, and he looked like two people a few months ago.

"Lord Zhang, I am Andre, I lost everything in the war, I hope you can give me some money to help me return to my hometown, please agree to my rude request, but also because I am really powerless, this is no way to do anything, I thought that there would be no war in Da Zhou, such a beautiful place, why would there be a law or a war?"

Zhang Weiwen smiled bitterly and said, "Andre, has there been a war in your hometown?" André replied: "Of course there will be wars, my sir, my hometown has really gone through a long war before there was a moment of peace, so I came here from my hometown to see the different countries in the world, and to know if there are any countries in the world that do not have wars." ”

"So what is your conclusion now?" Zhang Weiwen asked, at this time, a trace of sadness flashed in Andrei's deep green eyes, and he said: "Never, I thought that Da Zhou was a great country, he didn't have wars, but I was wrong, the bigger the country, the more it was devastated by war." Zhang Weiwen smiled and said: "Maybe no one tells you about the history of this country, there have been countless wars on this land, and there was a general who once killed 200,000 people in ancient times. Zhang Weiwen looked at Andre's shocked expression and said with a wry smile: "Da Zhou is not a great country, and the people of this country are suffering deeply. ”

Andrei made a very religious gesture, he lowered his head and said softly: "May God hold the people of this country." Zhang Weiwen happened to hear Andre's words, I don't know why there was a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart at this time, the gods and Buddhas will never bless those poor people, the little girl they rescued in the wilderness that day has disappeared at this time, and no one will care about the orphan's whereabouts in the escape, Zhang Weiwen didn't think about it at the time, but when he returned to the capital, every time he dreamed back at midnight, he would always think of the little girl's pure eyes.

"The people have suffered everywhere, and they have enjoyed riches in meat." (To be continued.) )
