Zeng Yu and the others walked forward along the street in the middle of the restaurant, and Xie Jing and the guest house they lived in had to cross a street, which was mainly a restaurant and a teahouse, and the inns were all built on another street.

Looking at the orderly various buildings around him, Zeng Yu was very curious about the planning of the people of Anping County, and he asked He Yan: "Hongzhi, is the construction of these restaurants and teahouses also from the hands of the county order?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, I heard that these were not ordered to be built like this by Cui County, the previous Anping County was built immediately after the respective merchants chose a good place, and there was no such order. According to Zhang Fuguang, this is all from Cui Yu's master. He Yan told Zeng Yu the news she had heard.

"Oh, I didn't expect Cui Yu to have such a talent, I don't know who this master is, but is it a disciple of the Cui family?" When Zeng Yu heard this, he immediately became curious. After all, there is no such thing as a commercial street in this society now, even if a trading place is established, it is only to better restrict merchants, and it is only in large county towns that there will be this, as for the county seat, it is all randomly established, like Anping County, which can be said to be extremely rare.

"This master's surname is Yin, and his name is Yin Zhuo. This person was suddenly promoted by Cui County Ling three years ago, and although he did not belong to any of the three major families, many of his suggestions were supported by the high-level leaders of Anping County led by Cui County Order. He Yan said.

Zeng Yu heard this name, thought about it for a while, and really couldn't figure out where this person came from. However, after he heard He Yan say that this person was not inferior to the children of the Cui family, and he had nothing to do with the three major families, he moved his mind and felt that he might be able to win over this person. Looking at his actions in Anping County, he is definitely not a mediocre talent, and the reason why he has not left a name in history may be an accident prematurely, after all, human life is like grass in troubled times, and civilians are like this, and the scholars and so on are not, don't you hear the king's anger, and often raid the family and exterminate the clan.

"Next, you and Zhiyuan and the others will focus on inquiring about this person's news, and if possible, try to win him over for me." Zeng Yu said to He Yan.

Originally, he wanted to win over Yin Zhuo in person, but time was pressing, and he needed to go to Luoyang as soon as possible to get the post of county commander. In this way, he can justifiably enter Anping County, and as long as Yin Zhuo is still there, it is more likely that he will accept this person.

He Yan listened to Zeng Yu's reply, and immediately guessed his news, of course, she agreed with her mouth. As they walked down the street, they observed the buildings on either side. I saw the street full of hotels, and came to a crossroads, the left side of the street was lined with shops, and from the outside it was seen that all the clothes were sold and rouge gouache, while the right side was mainly grain and ironware. In front of them, there are a number of inns, the height of the inns is uneven, the highest stands in the front, and it reads "Ruxinju".

He Yan introduced to Zeng Yu that this Ruxin residence is the property of the Cui family, and it is currently being taken care of by Cui Yu's nephew, and it is currently the most luxurious inn in Anping County, with a total of four floors, and is often used to receive some children of the scholar family. Kelaixuan, on the other hand, is much smaller, with only two floors, on the periphery, not far from the crossroads.

He Yan pointed to the left front, Zeng Yu looked down and saw a two-story inn located there, and the inn sign said the word Kelaixuan. From a distance, the inn was very ordinary, and there was no difference at all in the surroundings, and several people walked towards the inn.

"Gongzi He, you are here to find Gongzi Xie and them, they just went out, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back until a while." The guy at the door recognized He Yan and greeted him and asked.

"Xiao Li, your eyesight is good, you still remember me. Is the shopkeeper here, I have something to do today and need to find the next shopkeeper. He Yan asked his partner Xiao Li with a smile.

"The shopkeeper happened to be inside, and I took He Gongzi in. I just don't know who these are? Xiao Li looked at Zeng Yu and asked He Yan.

"This is my eldest brother, I just came back from the field, they are old friends with your young master, I came to find the master this time, I just need his introduction, after all, your Zhang family gate is not easy to enter."

"It turned out to be a friend of the young master, please inside! I'll take you to the treasurer. ”

Xiao Li took them to a room in the inn, where the innkeeper lived. The shopkeeper heard that Xiao Li had heard that Zhang Fuguang's old friend had come outside, and opened the door to welcome them in.

The shopkeeper's name is Zhang Nahai, who is the second brother of the current head of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Fuguang's second uncle. He had seen Sun Hao and others before, and from his many years of experience in running an inn, he knew that these young people were not ordinary people, so he usually took care of them.

This time he saw that among the four people brought in by Xiao Li, he only knew He Yan, and he had never seen the other three, but he felt that the four people were led by the slender person in the middle, with a fair face and strict facial features, and the other two looked like guards.

"Hongzhi, I don't know who these are?" Zhang Nahai asked He Yan.

"Uncle Zhang, this is the eldest brother of me and Zijin and everyone else, and now he is also our lord, whose surname is Zeng Yu and Zirui. The two people beside me are Zhu Wen, Zhu Chengyong, and Gude Gubo, both of whom have the courage to protect the lord's safety for the time being. He Yan introduced Zhang Nahai one by one.

"The old decay Zhang Nahai has seen Zeng Gongzi." Zhang Nahai gave Zeng Yu a common greeting gift for the scholars.

"The shopkeeper is polite, I want to thank you for taking care of my brothers." Zeng Yu also returned the salute.

"I wonder why Zeng Gongzi is here today?" After Zhang Nahai invited a few of them to sit down in the room, he asked Zeng Yu.

"I just came back from out of town, and I haven't seen Brother Fuguang for a long time, and I want to catch up with him. In addition, there is also a big deal, and I will negotiate with the head of your family. Zeng Yu replied.

"I don't know what a big deal it is, but it's convenient to reveal one or two?" Zhang Nahai asked curiously when he heard the big deal.

"The shopkeeper allows me to sell a pass first, so that I can see the head of the Zhang family and then talk about it in detail." Zeng Yu replied with a smile on his face, and there was still this trace of unfathomable on his face.

Zhang Nahai listened, thought for a while, and looked at Zeng Yu and He Yan again, thinking that they should not be here to fool themselves, so he nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll arrange the affairs of the inn, and then take you over to meet my eldest brother." ”

Zeng Yu watched quietly when Zhang Nahai was thinking, he was not in a hurry, from He Yan's introduction before, he knew that this Zhang Nahai admired them very much, it was he and Zhang Fuguang who were from Hanxuan, and the Zhang family had always given some support to Sun Hao and them, this time he proposed to have a big deal as the lord who came back from other places, he would definitely want to understand, and at the same time prove to the rest of the Zhang family that his vision was right.

"It's okay, the shopkeeper is busy first, let's just wait here." Zeng Yu said with a smile.

"Xiao Li, you go to my room to greet the people who just came, I need to go back to the family, and now I have to explain the affairs of the inn." Zhang Nahai came out and said to his buddy Xiao Li.

Soon, Zhang Nahai came back again, and at this time, Zeng Yu and the others were still waiting quietly, and they didn't look impatient at all. Seeing this, Zhang Nahai glanced at Zeng Yu again, thinking that maybe it was really a big deal.

The ancestral house of the Zhang family is located in the west of Anping County, and they came in through the east gate. To get to Zhangjia from here, you need to pass through most of the county. Zhang Nahai has a carriage, but the carriage is not big, only two people can sit, at the invitation of Zhang Nahai, Zeng Yu and him got into the carriage, and Zhu Wen, Gude and He Yan all followed on foot.

The group walked towards the east gate, and when they came to the center of the county, Zeng Yu saw the county government outside through the window of the carriage. The county government covers an area of 10 acres, estimated to be at least 50 acres.

Zhang Nahai has been observing this Zeng Yu in the carriage, he noticed that Zeng Yu had been paying attention to the county government just now, and couldn't help but say: "The current Anping county is much more luxurious than before, although it was also a big county before, but it was only a large population, and the difference between them is not big. But since Cui Xianling took office, the living space of our family has been fixed, and only the Cui family and the remaining part of the three major families can be operated, and most of them have taken away the majority of it. Zeng Gongzi must have also seen the county government just now, it was all built five years ago, even if the county government is also the mansion of the county order, the other three families are next to it, and the area of them and the county government is combined, catching up with one-tenth of the area of the county seat. ”

"In that case, why don't the Zhang family resist. There must be a lot of oppressed families, and if you join forces, you should be able to fight for greater benefits for yourself. Zeng Yu's eyes had already turned back from the window, and after hearing Zhang Nahai's words, he tentatively said to him.

"We have also resisted, but the power of the county is controlled by these three major families and Cui County Ling, and our strength is no match for him. At the beginning, there was a person who was more powerful than our Zhang family, almost as powerful as the current Wang family or the Sun family, but because he took the lead in resisting Cui Yu's order, he fabricated a crime of colluding with bandits and attempting to rebel, and then the whole family was copied, and everyone was either killed or exiled. ”

"If there is a chance to turn over, I don't know how many families the Zhang family can contact?" Zeng Yu further probed.

When Zhang Nahai heard Zeng Yu's words, he was shocked, and then he was happy, he looked at Zeng Yu and felt that he might have guessed something. I was about to ask, but I thought that this was in a carriage, and the carriage was on the streets of the county seat, and I swallowed the words that came to my mouth, but I was even more excited in my heart, and I only hoped that this carriage would return to Zhang's house soon.
