"Can Master Mo help you testify? Is the Master Mo you are talking about the blacksmith Master Mo who lives in a courtyard outside Changshan City? Zhao Liang asked.

Shi Qian nodded, what the head of the Zhao family said was quite consistent with Master Mo's situation, and it should be the same person.

"Then how did you find Master Mo, your purchase of charcoal is also related to Master Mo."

"Yes, we originally looked for a blacksmith in Changshan City to help us fight weapons, but we couldn't find a blacksmith in the city, and then under the leadership of a person, we found Master Mo, and even paid a little money to lead the way." Zhang Xuan briefly explained how to get to Old Man Mo's house, seeing that Old Man Mo and Chen Prison Tou are so familiar, and Chen Prison Tou and the head of the Zhao family also have a good relationship, I feel that these things don't have much to do with it.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Master Mo for a long time, and I don't know how he's doing now?"

"Don't worry, he's doing well, his body is also very tough, and he looks like he's lived a long life!" Zhang Xuan didn't ask much about the relationship between the head of the Zhao family and Old Man Mo, unless the relationship between the two of them could be good enough that this charcoal could be given to him for free, then it would be another matter.

"Okay, this charcoal can be sold to you, just according to the market price, anyway, now that the weather is warmer, the consumption of charcoal has become much smaller, although there are not many selling points, but it can also subsidize some household use, which is better than nothing." Then Zhao Liang called the Zhao family steward to implement the matter.

Zhang Xuan saw that the deal was completed, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he no longer had to face the black-hearted profiteer, thinking of the profiteer, he just heard that the profiteer actually went to the government to sue him, isn't this a thief shouting to catch a thief, as a person of the Taiping Sect, he will take some funds from the charcoal shop every once in a while to give the Taiping Sect, and he will not count these accounts on his head, in this way, this person's conscience has really been taken away by a wild dog.

"Zhao family master, how are you going to recruit guards! With so many people signing up, won't they all be recruited! Zhang Xuan had already finished his own business, and he was bored when he was idle, so he asked the following.

Zhao Liang glanced at Zhao An, he had been in the inner hall, and he didn't know what was going on outside, Zhao An noticed Zhao Liang's gaze, and walked to Zhao Liang's side, the two took a few steps back, Zhao An said softly: "Brother, two days ago, people came to sign up one after another, and after registration, let them come to the gate of Zhao Mansion tomorrow to gather, but today I don't know why there are many people who come to sign up, this team is long, but the number of people who signed up today is small, there are hundreds of people, and now Uncle Zhao is busy in the front yard. I'm going to come to you about this and see what to do. ”

Zhao Liang originally thought that there were dozens of people to sign up, which was already very good, and the popularity was really a bit beyond his expectations, "How many people have signed up now?" ”

Zhao An thought about it, "With the number of applicants in the previous two days, there are nearly three hundred people, I just looked at the team at the door, there are no less than a hundred people, and there is still an afternoon, I estimate that the total number of applicants will be about five hundred." ”

Zhao Liang opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "What, so much!" Our Zhao family's influence in Changshan City is so strong, why didn't I find out before? How could there be so many people who want to squeeze into our Zhao family? After finishing speaking, Zhao Liang also smiled, "I expected some ill-intentioned people to sign up, but these more than 500 people will not all be arranged by them, if so, this force is too strong." ”

"Brother, it won't all be sent by the Chai family or other forces, and they won't have so many people under them, but I probably saw that a few of them are really good players, and I wonder a little if it's good, how can they be willing to send this kind of person out to our Zhao family."

Zhao Liang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "It's very simple, many people just come to the Zhao family to protect them, after all, these years are either epidemics, or droughts, and the taxes of the imperial court are so heavy, many people can't survive by farming, in addition, the foreign races in the north are eyeing us, and from time to time they have to go south to loot, under this natural and man-made disaster, many people can only find another way, but our Zhao family is still a little famous in Changshan, and it is not surprising to see that our family is recruiting people and so many people come to participate." ”

"So what do you do next? The number of applicants has skyrocketed, but it has suddenly disrupted our original deployment! Originally, Zhao Liang and the others had already thought that the Chai family and other large and small families would definitely install a few nails in the Zhao family through this recruitment of guards, so as to probe the movements or secrets of the Zhao family, and they also made some coping strategies, but what they didn't expect was that the number of applicants skyrocketed, which disrupted the deployment of Zhao Liang and others.

"When the fourth uncle is done, call Zhao Fu, we are discussing it tonight, there will always be a way to deal with it." Zhao Liang was really a little caught off guard by this sudden situation, but the matter has already happened, and there is nothing to worry about, so it is better to think about how to respond quickly is the most effective solution.

Zhang Xuan and Shi Qian stood there, watching Zhao Liang and Zhao An muttering something on the side, Ye didn't interject, just waited for the two to finish speaking, said goodbye, and left. As for the Zhao family's recruitment of guards, although Zhang Xuan is still quite interested, as an outsider, it is inconvenient for him to say more.
